RELEASED MEN
+. ARE RECALLED
RECONSTRUCTION TO BE MADE
THROUGH QUESTIONABLE TO
BE MAILED TO EVERY REGIS
TERED MAN NOT IN SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-A COM
plete outline of the new draft classi-
f1cation, which affects approximately
100000 men, was given out today
by Provost Marshal General CroWder.
One Of the most important points
IN General Crowder's explanation to-
day is that approximately 100000
men now holding exemption certifi-
Gates will be among those to be clas-
sified into five divisions according to
their liability TO serve. Under the
reclassif1cation each will again have
to answer questions to determine the
class IN which he belongs. These
men, it is said, are still subject to
military duty unless physically dis
qualified or non-citizens, the exemp-
t1on certificates they hold merely ex-
emptlng them from the present draft.
AS General Crowder has carefully ex-
pla!ned the new system is not entire
ly retroactive; that Is, it will not in
any way affect the men selected for
military seryice-the men now in
mobilization camps or being made
ready for mobilization. But it does
affect those examined for, but not
selected in the present draft.
Within probably a week a "Ques-
tionnaire" will be mailed to every
one Of the 100000 men registered
and not in khaki.

cially as form 1000--is small book
