District boards had endeavored to
work out every detail of the plan so
there would be no delay in classifying
registrants, thousands of whom will
be given deferment. This was re-

lures and which required Intelligent
consideration, for the government has
planned with the idea Of sending a
steady flow of men to army canton-
ments without disturbing essential in
