son, president of the United States of
America, do appoint Wednesday, the
twenty-fourth day of October as Lib
erty Day, and urge and advise the
people to assemble in their respective
communities and pledge to one an
other and to the government that rep
resents them the fullest measure of
financial support. On the afternoon
of that day l request that patriotic
meetings be held in every city, town
and hamlet, throughout the land, un-
der the general direction of the secre-
tary of the treasury and the immedi-
ate direction of the Liberty Loan COM
mittees which have been organized
by the federal reserve banks. The
people responded nobly to the call of
the first Liberty Loan with an over
subscription of more than SO per cent
Let the response to the second loan
be even greater and let the amount be
so large that it will serve as an as
surance of the unequalled support to
hearten the men who are to face the
fire of battle for us. Let the result
be so impressive and emphatic that
it will echo throughout the empire of
our enemy as an index of what Ameri-
ca intends to do to bring this war to
a victorious conclusion.
"For the purpose of participating in
Liberty Day celebrations, all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared, may be excused at IL O'Clock

MORE SELECTIVE PLAN IS FAVORED
Scheme Contemplates Immediate Ex-
animation of All Subject to Call.
Industrial Value and Depen-
denotes to Decide.

A new plan for applying the army
'selective draft which would take first
only men without dependents and Of
no particular value to war industries
and establish war grades of depend
ency and industrial value from which
future drafts would be made strictly
on the selective basis has been worked
out tentatively by the provost marshal
generals office and discussed with the
president.
The plan it was learned was sub
mitted recently to a conference of
civilians who directed exemption
board activities in a number of states
and received the endorsement of most
of them who are now discussing the
proposed plan with their state gov
ernors.
1t is proposed to formulate in each
local draft district table of all regis
trants, placing each in column de-
noting his dependents and industrial
value in the wars prosecution. For
instance, horizontal columns or classi-
fications would be based on depend
ency. Men with no dependents would
be placed in the first class, those with
dependent distant relatives in the Sec
ond class, those with wives in the
third class, those with wife and one
child in the fourth class and so on.
Similarly, the vertical columns
might represent certain industries, ar
ranged according to their respective
merits as war necessities. Industrial
classes under consideration an this
connection are farmers, railway and
transportation employees, miners, steel
plant and motor industry workmen
and certain other individual plants or
industry branches to be designated
from time to time by the president or
the war department as temporarily
essential. The latter classification
might include plants making military
clothing, harness, first aid materials,
or professions, such as chemists and
other scientific men more needed for
war research than to carry arms.
No class would be exempted as
such, but the valuable men would be
placed so that they would not be
called until the need for soldiers be-
came more urgent and all the less es-
sential classes were exhausted. This
plan, it is thought, will meet the pres
ident's objections to class exemptions
This scheme contemplated immedi-
ate examination of all men registered
but this course depends on an appro-
priation which cannot be obtained un-
til congress convenes in December
Advocates of the plan point out, how
ever, that it might be put into opera
tion for even single increment of
a million men and could be extended
down the present liability lists as fast
as funds were made available.
War department officials explain
that the program is far from complete
and warn that many changes may be
made. They say, however, that some
double classification system seems i'm
perative for future draft calls.

pers that are collecting tobacco
+ and tobacco funds"
