amendment to the selective service
regulations announced today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Not only idlers, but all draft reg
istrants engaged In what are held to
be non-useful occupations are to be
hailed before local boards and given
the choice Of a new job or the army.
Gamblers, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune tellers
head the list, but those who will be
reached by the new regulations also
include K, walters and ,bartenders,
theatre -Yshers and attendants, pas,

scription OF labor. The announce.

ihe regulation throws a further
safeguard around men not usefully
employed, by providing that where
tnere are compelling domestic cir
cumstances that would not permit
change of employment by the regis
trant without disproportionate hard
ship to his dependents, or where a
change from non-useful to useful
employment or occupation would
necessitate a removal of the regis
trant or his family, local boards
may give consideration to the cir
cumstances. The regulation fur
ther provides that where a change
or employment would compel the
night employment of women under
circumstances which board might
deem unsuitable for such employ

take such circumstances into con-

suggests itself of issuing Instructions
to your command looking not only to
the avoidance of waste in rnesses, but
also to a possible regulation of tho
sale of foodstuffs in post exchanges,
Young Mems Christian Association,
Knights of Columbus, etc; also the
advfsability of attempting TO regulate
the purchase by American soldiers or
foodstuffs from the French people.
Prices Charged by French.
Complaint has been made that the
French people in selling food products
to American soldiers are charging ex-
orbitant prices, and thereby increas-
ing the cost of living for the French
people. This causes the unnecessary
consumption by American soldiers OF
considerable quantities of food. This,
it is believed, adds unnecessarily to
the burden of the French food prom
lem. Your recommendations in this
matter are requested"
