QUESTIONS EASY TO ANSWER.
General Crowder Says New Plan Is
 Quite Simple.

Supplementing the Presidents call to the Nation, Provost Marshal General Crowder issued the follow ing statement:
 The questionaire which IS the basis of the new system is a collec- tion of questions bringing out the essential facts upon which all clas- sliications are made. It is the only printed form which any registrant needs to use in making claims or filing proof. At first sight, it may seem a little formidable, but a read- ing of the questions shows that they are simple enough for any person who can read and write understand ingly to answer.
 The Presidents message lines up the whole legal profession of the United States as assistants of the selective service system and as inn partial advisers to registrants in filling out their questionaires. Un- der the new regulations place is to be provided convenient to every local board where registrants may go for free advice and assistance in making out this document. The county judge or other judicial of iicer of similar courts is placed at the head of committee of lawyers in each vicinity and this committee is charged with the duty of seeing that there are always plenty of lawyers and other volunteers present to help registrants in filling out the ques- tionaires.
 "Questionaires are to be mailed by five per cent of the registrants each day. The principal work of the legal advisory boards will thus be over in twenty days, by which time all the questionaires should be returned to the boards. Every man has seven days in which to return his ques- tionaire fully made out. The pro- cess of classification will begin about December i5. Eight days later the boards will begin the great process of classification which becomes, in the words of the President. "A na- tional war undertaking of such sig niticance as to challenge the atten- tion and compel the assistance ol every American.
 Not since the war began has ar opportunity been offered for prac- tically every person to take an active and vigorous part in so important a war measure as the actual raising of our armies. The Presidents fore word offers this opportunity II gives definite place for the doctors 10 work in making the physical ex- animation. For the first time it as- signs every lawyer to active duty 1T building up the national army. IT the legal advisory boards 1t give: every one who responds to the Pres idents call place in the ranks oI the army behind the army
 The Nation already has remark able record of efficiency in adjust ing it's political machinery to tn, registration of 10 million men within eighteen days after the enactment of the law authorizing registration Il is now proposed to better this record | by classifying nearly 9 million mer in a period of sixty days"

withdrew his support, Won Bethmann-

Count Won Hertlng may have asked
for time in which TO consider the ap

with him.
