duty-and those who will be registered
hereafter-are divided and the order
ia which they will be called for ser.
vice has been officially announced ~Tht
announcement is in the form of a Ques.
tionaire issued by the provost marshal
general which every registered mar

some change from the tentative draft
published some time ago.
Contrary to some published reports
It does not exempt married men as a
class but it does place married men
with dependent wives and children far
down the list of tables. In fact, the

cy. The five official classificatiOns of
registrants follow:
