QUIZ BOOKS Il
ARE HELD UP
Revised Edition Will Be
Ready for Distribution
Monday.

Owing 10 the magnitude OF the work
which will be caused by the question
naires. the local boards for Wasnmc-
ton will not send them out until Mot
day. and then they will not all be
gent cut at the same time.
One reason was given by the au-
t%orities yesterday for not mailing
the questionnaires Immediately. 1t is
that the revised edition Of the draft
regulations which cover the present
situation have not as yet been CON-
pleted. II is pointed out that with
nut the new regulations a great deal
Of trouble would arise from the iIr-
proper handling OF the question
naiIes. The revised edition will be
available either today or tomorrow.
Seven days will be given the regIs-
trants, not including Sundays and mol
idays, in which they may answer the
questions and return the pamphlet 10
the local boards for classification. Tie
questionnaires will be issued only to
those registrants who on September
12 were between 19 and 36 years old,
Foreseeing that IL all of the ques-
tionnaires were returned TO the dis
trict board within a seven-day period
that the work of classification would
become overwhelming and therefore
would be handled less efficiently,
Major Donovan has issued orders that
the local boards are to mail only
10 per cent OF the total number every
day. In this way the work of looking
up the names of those who fall with
in the prescribed ages and mailing
them the questionnaires will be spread
over ten days and will not be COM
pleted until a week from Thursday.
In like manner the work OF classify
ing the men according to the In
formation on the quesuonnaires will
be distributed more evenly over a
longer period and there will be no
congestion in the offices Of the local
draft boards.
Advisory Boards to Meet
The scores of lawyers who have
volunteered to assist the registrants
in answering the difficult questions
in the pamphlet will probably hold
meeting either Saturday or Mon
day night in order to perfect their
plans. 1t is expected that nearly all
of the $4,000 registrants will call
upon the board OF which Justin n.
Chamberlain is chairman for assist
ance in one way or another.
The serial numbers will be placed
on the missionaries before they are
mailed but the order number will be
left blank until after the great lot
terry to determine the order num-
bers Is held when they will be filled
in by the District boards. Although
il is impossible to state the exact
date which will be set for the draw
iop ~ will he held DrOhahly in the
latter part OF this month.
1t was announced yesterday that
men will be inducted into the serv-
Ice for the navy and Marine Corps
as well as the army, beginning the
latter part OF the month. The calls
for the navy and marines will be
filled in exactly the same way in
which those of the army are filled.
