amounted to the creation of num-

eral armed forces for men highly skilled
in technical and mechanical pursuits is
greater than in any former war. Yet this
need for specially skilled men finds the
nation under a necessity for increasing
it's production in almost every line OF in
dustry. Withdrawals OF men from in
dustry must be made and these with.
drawals must take men who might other
wise be deferred on account of their epe-
cial qualifications and skill. The neces-
sary numbers of such skilled men will
be obtained in one Of three ways: First,
men already In the military service who
have such special skill will be takess
from the line regiments and assigned to
where their skill is needed; second, men
classified by the section boards. even
though they may have been placed in q
deferred classification. will be withdrawn
with great care and particularly from the
industries of the nation for special SER
vice in staff corps and departments: third,
young men of draft age with certain edu-
cational qualifications will be indicted
into the service and sent to universities,
colleges and technical and secondary
schools. to be instructed in technical arts
until they have acquired such proficiency
as will justify their assignment 0 the
considerable numbers.
I'm accordance with this plan, the
provost marshal general has already
called upon the states for some 10000
skilled artisans AMI will shortly call
upon the states for I0.CC0 ,ns men,
graduates Of grammar scnools, VIC will
be sent before the first of April to va
rious technical and other Schools
throughout the United States for a
two-months course of training. Regu-
larly thereafter, an increasing stream
Of selected men will be sent through
educational and other training insti-
buttons for this purpose.
No Sudden Withdrawal
ITO sum up it may be said that there
will be no sudden Withdrawal Of great
numbers Of men from the ranks of i'll
dustry and agriculture during the COM
ing summer, but that men will be
drawn in relatively small groups
throughout the year in such a way as
to create the least possible interior
Men in deferred classes as well as men
ence with industry and agriculture.
Men in deferred classes as we'll as men
in Class l will be selected in small
numbers, either on account of their
special technical qualifications or for
the purpose of sending them to schools
where they will be given an opportu-
nifty to acquire such qualifications.

supply clothing and other equipment
