Offamous Prussians, Huns and Turks
And you may have no earthly use
For nitro-bombs or gasoline,
Still you can help to raise the deuce

The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes, sub
iect to military service by classes, as
being intended to produce "a more
perfect organization of our man
power '..' o..
1.-The selective principle must be car
ried to its logical conclusion" the pres
ident said, and he added that there
must be made complete inventory of
the qualifications of each registrant in
order to determine 1.-The place in the
military, industrial or agricultural
ranks of the nation in which his experl
fence and training can best be made to
serve the common good" g.
The inquiry projected in the ques-
tionnaire will go deep into the qualifica-
lions of each of nearly 10,000000 men.
The success of the plan and its COM
pletion within the estimated time rests
absolutely upon the whole-hearted sup
port given by the people, especially by
the doctors and lawyers of each com
munity, and the president calls upon
them for that unstinted aid.
