THE new DRAFT system.

The first contingent of our new army
consisting of 6s7, 900 men is about com
pieted and steps are being taken and
the plans are now being published for
the next contingent. The entire pop
aia;ion aud especially the doctors and
lawyers are appealed to in thu crisis
Of the nation to give of their best ef-
forts and free service to advise and
council the drafted men in reporting to
the Draft Boards. There should be
organized in this community, three Of
these boards. one constituted of the
legal profession. one of the medical
fraternity. and another of the private
citizens for the purpose of assisting
the boys who are called to do military
service in presenting their cases to
tho Draft Board.
The next contingent will be made up
IN quite different manner from the
one just completed. which makes the
assistance of these Advisory Boards so
necessary. Under the new system.
Just published. every man who regis
tered and who has not heretofore been
called for examination will be furnished
with list of questions which he will
he required to answer and file with the
Local Board within a week after he
receives them. The date when these
question will be furnished has not been
fixed by the War Depai tment but it will
be in the near future After the ques-
tions have been answered and returned
by the drafted men, the local Board
will proceed To immediately divide the
entire remainder of the drafted men
INTO FIVE classes and the men will be
called into military service according
to the class and to the serial number
IN the respective classes beginning with
class one. The 6rst class will include
bachelors or married men who have no
enc dependant upon them for support
and not skilled in any essential war in
austrv.. Second class includes married
men whose families would be able to
support themselves and skilled farm
sAborers or men engaged in necessary
industrial enterprises. The third
class includes men with parents.
bfothers. sisters or foster children en-
tirely depsadant upon them for support
and county or municipal officers. The
fourth ease Includes married men with
sife and children absolutely dependent
upon them for support. The fifth class
are those Who are registered but
supposed to be wholly exempt from
service. such 40 national and state off, |
GERS and ministers Of the gospel. and
those physically unfit for service. The
whole Of the next contingent will
probably BE- made up OF class number
one. tskes 10 the order of serial num-
beers. ".
This seems TO be the wisest and
most practical way of completing our
army. II the appeal by the President
and the War Department is needed and
the Advisory Boards are promptly or
gsnized to help the drafted men to
honestly and correctly answer the re-
luired questions so each may be in his
correct class. the nation will nave q
powerful army of which the Kaiser will
take notice.
