would only serve to increase the plu-

bill into operation with the publics.

to the regulations under which the
second call will be made. The regula-
tons themselves and the question.
naires which more than 100000 reg.
istrants will be required 10 till out
have been forwarded to local boards.
War department officials estimate
that the whole process car be complet-
ed within SO days. This means that
no second call will be made upon the
draft forces before the middle Of next
February, as the period Of classified
ton will not begin until Dec. Is.
The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes,
subject to military service by classes,
and being intended to produce "a
more perfect organization Of our man
power"
"The ~selective principle must be
carried to its logical conclusion" the
president said, and he added that
there must be made a complete In
ventory of the qualifications of each
registrant in order to determine the
place in the military, industrial or ag-
ricultural ranks of the nation In which
his experience and training can best
be- made to serve the common good"
The inquiry projected in the ques-
tionnaire will go deep into the quail
fications OF each of nearly 10000, 900
men. The success Of the plan and Its
completion within the estimated time
rests absolutely upon the wholeheart-
ed support given by the people, es-
pecially by the doctors and lawyers OF
each community and the president
calls upon them for their unstinted
aid.
