Every Registered Man To Be
Called Upon to Answer
Questions in Book
TREMENDOUS TASK

When These Have Ali Been Answered
Men Will Be Divided Into Five
Glasses

compel them to serve or will automat-
ically release them.
There are 1850 men registered who
have not since joined the army. 1t is
a big task and Mr.. MunrOe has asked
for further data as to hiring clerical
help.
No man on the registered list will be
accepted as a volunteer after Dec. 10.
Recruits must be. in Duluth not later
than Dec. II.
The statement that there is to be a
draft of all the men up to 40 is a
canard. The next draft has not been
ordered and news from Washington is
to the effect that men from 19 to 30
are likely to be called.

vision or better:
20-40 for the right eye and 20-100
for the left eye, providing that no or
ganic disease exists in either eye
The applicant is tested by requiring
him to read black letters of various
heights at a distance of twenty feet.
il he Is able to read the line in which
the letters are three-eighths of an
inch high, he is said to have normal
vision and this is recorded as 1920.
The requirement 20-40 means that the
applicant must be able to read at least
the line of letters three quarters of an
inch high at a distance of twenty feet.
With normal vision the line should be
read at forty feet. For the left eye
20-100 signifies that the line normally
read at 100 feet must be read by the
applicant at twenty feet. It is not

Washington, June I4.-Important

Christian Science Monitor: When the
world returns to the consideration of
things having to do with normal hui
man intercourse. we are likely to wit
ness a revolution in transportation
processes, especially as regards the
carriage of the lighter commodities and
of the mails. The airplane has been
developed by the war to an amazing
degree. Nearly all OF the earlier prob
lens involved in aviation have been
eliminated in the construction and OPP
Grafton of the military machines. Some
experts in this field are already pre-
dieting with apparent confidence. a
general adoption of the airplane in
commercial transportation and the ap-
pearance of twenty-five-passenge afr
craft, with the return of peace. The
latter are, IL Is held, to be as reliable
as automobiles, and, in time, quite as
popular. In view of the accomplish
ments in other lines, 1t would be rather
hazardous to question these prophecies.

wait and see.

tional burden to the army during the
periods of unusual stress.
In general, to pass the examiner the
candidate must be reasonably normal

able to carry his rifle and packs, to
kneel, to shoot, and in other ways to
perform the movements required OF a
soldier in normal manner.

The machinery OF registration is
being readjusted to serve as machin-
cry for the further execution of the
select service law. This work is pro-
crossing favorably and should be COM
pleted coincidentally with the tying
up of the loose ends of registration.
When this is done, regulations gov
erning the jurisdiction Of the local
boards will be issued, and the ma
chinery will then be ready to proceed
to the drawing, or drafting, which
will result in the determination Of
the order in which registered men
will be examined for selection for
military or industrial service. When
this list or order is determined, it is
expected that the war department
will be able to make definite call
for men, and as soon as this data is
available the quotas necessary to fill
the first call will be assigned to the
several states.

Petrograd, via London, June IA
After a prolonged debate in the coun-
ell which is now sitting for drawing up
rules governing elections to the con-
stituent assembly and to consider the
eligibility of voters it was decided to
allow Nicholas Romanoff, the former
emperor, and members of the former
imperial family the privilege OF voting.
Many Of the speakers argued that to
deprive Nicholas Of the franchise
would be construed as an act of poll
teal revenge and as the Romanofe
family had abdicated and his success
sors had declared themselves willing
to abide by the wishes of a constituent
assembly 1t would be unfair to with
hold from them the right of voting.
