trantS In Wisconsin and They
Must Answer Within Seven
Days After Receipt.

Governor Philip was authorized by
20 make public the QUESTIONABLE
which will be sent to the 225, 900 reg
istered men of the state of Wisconsin.
Upwards of 5000 of these blanks have
oeen received at the executive office
and will be sent to the 104 local boards
early in the week. The local boards
are required to mail copies to the
registrants on December Is. Failure
OF a registrant to answer the ques-
tons makes him Immediately avail
able for military service
The questions make a searching ex-
animation of every fact regarding a
person that would cause his exemp-
ton or defer classification under the
new regulations. While a man does
not make claim for exemption, he
may sign the waiver at the bottom of
page one Of the QUESTIONABLE and
make himself, thereby, Immediately
available for military service.
All exemptions and discharges made
prior to the date of these rules are
hereby revoked, and all such certifi-
Gates heretofore issued shall have no
further validity. Temporary dis
charges granted by local boards later
than December Is are of no effect in
accordance with this regulation Be
ginning December Is, all registered
persons stand in an equality before
boards for classification without refer
ence to any action heretofore taken
by any board.
, While there are questions on every
relationship man stands, the most
significant changes have been made
in the questions regarding depend
ency. Under dependency as under the
other series of questions, the regis
trant must answer the first question
Of whether he has dependents which
would warrant defer in the classifi-
cation by yes" or no" If the man
answers mo" then there are no
grounds which the local board must
consider in connection with his de-
ferred classification.
