Crowder Tells How the Regiments
WIN De Placed Under the New
Regulations.

The Rock Island exemption board !
today received a communication from
Provost Marshal General Crowder on
"Tbe selectiye Service System and Its
Aims and Accomplishments, It's
Future" 1t says in part.
ITO The Local and District Boards:
Last July we were confronted with
the necessity Of placing 6S7 900 re-
cruits in mobilization camps just as
fast as the factories Of the country
could furnish uniforms and arms and
the building enterprises Of the nation
could erect the Is great environments
10 receive them. The time limit was
clearly defined. The necessity was
pressing. We we're committed to the
principle OF selection. The field Of
selection comprised nearly 100000
men. Unquestionably, Of these 10000
600 there were some particular 6S7 600
OF them whose taking would least in
terfere with the Industrial and eco
monte life of the nation But, In the
very nature Of things they could only
have been searched out by examining
the whole 100000"
There were two ways to do this.
One was to make a graduated CLASH
fcation OF men placing in the first
class those who, of the whole 10000
900 could best be spared, in the sec
ond class those who could next be
spared, and 50 forth through all the
classes. Another way was to make
only two classes, but to so liberaliZe
exemptions from the first class as to
make It comprise only about G87 ,00C
men. Both methods required more
time than we had at our disposal, foi
we were warned that at about this time
OF year the camps would be ready tC
receive, arm, and equip the first draft
IT was very apparent that under NJ
new and untrled system could 10000
600 men be examined in such a shOrt
time. In this state of affairs there
was but one thing TO do and that thing
we did. We established rules for ex-
emptioR restrictive enough to permit
us 10 produce 6S7 900 selectiyes in 1(
weeks time and yet liberal enough tC

Moving breathlessly supported b!

members Of our selection boards with

zeal that remains an inspiration to thu
nation, we have accomplished our pur
pose within the time limits at our dis

men in our available list, and thus

Glass v. comprises the field OF abb
so;ute exempts.
There is one thought that ! must
impress to eradicate an erroneous view
that may be taken Of this classified
ton:
eve are dealing in the field of labor
supply. Presenting that the labor
supply Of industry and agriculture
comprises men between the ages OF
Is ana SO, and assuming, for the pur-
pose Of this exposition, that there are
1000,000 men of each OF these ages,
we are dealing with 50 classes, APP
purtenant to agriculture and 10 the
various industries. The draft affects
ten thirty seconds Of this supply or
only about 81 per cent. Therefore,
turning to Glass II, when we find skill
ed farm labor listed there. it does not
mean that when Glass II is exhausted
all skilled farm laborers will have
been taken. From these figures, il
would seem to mean that 81 per cent
of all skilled farm labor will have
1 been taken. But even this figure is
! misleading. Without the definite sta
| tistics that th present draft will event
ually afford / can say, / think, that
within this class Of skilled laborers al
least g. per cent OF those liable t
/ draft will be found in classes more de,
ferred than Glass II by reason OF de
pendents, alienage, and the like. Tit
result is that when we have exhausted
Glass II, We shall have taken only /.
| per cent Of the skilled labor appurten
ant to agriculture, The same figures
apply to other industries"
