DRAWING LINES TIGHTER
Cases of Men Married Since
May Is, 1917, Will Be Re-
viewed by Draft Boards

The local draft board has re-
ceived instructions that the
cases of all registered men ir
classes 2, 3 and A who were mar.
ried subsequently to May 1S
1917, will be reopened and re-
viewed, with a view to possible
classification in Class 1.
This action has been taken by
the government because of the
fact that there were men who
married to escape the draft, and
where this can be made to ap-
pear they should be in class 1.
1t is not believed that there
will be many, if any, changes in
the classification as fixed in
these cases by the local draft
board, as the board tried to
carefully scrutinize all such
cases and refuse lower classifi-
cation wherever there was any
reason to believe that the mar
rlage was contracted to escape
service in the army.
