| Washington, Oct. %. A sweeping
change in the machinery of the selec'
tive draft, based on division of the
100000 remaining >registrants int
five classes in order OF their eligibility
| for military service, was announced
Saturday by Provost. Marshal Genera
Crowder.
Details Of the plan, which has beer
approved by President Wilson, are not
disclosed 1t is calculated, however, tc
do away with virtually all the compi-
Gated machinery of the first draft anc
to make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than rubber
stamp proceedings.
The plan was worked out at confer
ences with local and district board Of
ficialS and approved by the various
state authorities. Its chief features arc
that every registered man will know
his exact position and be able to ar
range his affairs accordingly and that
no man deemed necessary in any i'm
portant industry or needed at home to
support his family will be called to the
colors unless the military situation is
desperate.
Explained BY crowder.N
Provost Marshal General Crowder
issued this statement:
with the completion of the draft of
the first army of $4,000 men a new
system will be installed for the crea-
ton of succeeding armies, which will
greatly lessen the labors of the local
and district boards. So far has this
been accomplished that it is believed
that under the new system so per cent
of the work will be eliminated while
the forms to be used will not exceed
twenty in number as compared with
approximately 1872 forms which the
present system requires.
along with the reduction of labor
there will be provided a system which
will classify each one of the nine mil
lions of men who have not yet been
indicted into military service and each
man will have been given his place in
the national scheme of defense.
To Question Each Man.
ITO do this it has been determined
to obtain from each man complete In
formation OF a character which will
definitely fix his economic worth as
compared with his fellow registrant,
and from the information thus OBJ
tanned, to place him in one of five
classes. each to be called in turn as the
need arises.
1.-THE method Of obtaining this infor-
nation is thru a QUESTIONABLE a series
of questions calculated to produce the
information required. This document
will be mailed to every registrant not
