new DRAFT RULE
TO HAVE LITTLE
EFFECT IN STATE
Most of Men Aimed at Are Al
ready in Service,

The work or fight" draft regulations
announced today will not have much
material effect in Oklahoma. according
to officials best Informed as to labor
conditions Beyond rounding up oilers
who already have been the object OF
campaigns by the state and county
councils OF defense the new rules will
result in the induction of compare
lively few men into the army.
BY next month, it has been estimated
by AdJutant General Gipson, Oklahoma
will have $1,000 men in the service
While il will be impossible for several
days to get an estimate on the number
of men affected by the new regulations,
1t is said by officials in charge OF the
draft that most OF the men who would
he affected already have been sent into
the army.
A census of Oklahoma City hotels,
poolrooms and mercantile establish
ments shows that business may be ex-
peoted to continue as usual. The pool
rooms will yield the most men, thinks
Police Chief Nichols, although he has
no means OF an accurate estimate on
the number OF men affected.
Preparations to enforce the new regu.
istions are being made today.

fit for military service in Oklahoma,
about one third are engaged in activ-
tiles which are nonessential to the win
ming of the war, according TO L. II
Gipson, state adjutant general
Most Already Drafted.
General Gipson, when informed this
morning of the proposed amendment
to the selective draft act which will
either send men to the army regardless
OF deferred classification or force them
to get useful instead of non useful jobs
asserted that of the men now available
for military duty that there are com
paratively small numbers which come
under the amendment
The adjutant general asserted that he
believed that non-eSsential positions
included virtually every occupation at
this time with the exception of neceS-
sary farm work He asserted that
hundreds of men in Oklahoma who arc
employed in positions which are non
essential to the winning OF the war
should not be clas,ed as being employed
in non-useful occupations.
Amendment Foreseen.
When the state district exemption
boards were organized, according TO
Gipson, such an amendment was fore
seen by the board members and a policy
was adopted to send TO the army men
not actually engaged in useful pur-
suits He asserted the local boards in
levyng calls had been advised to use
their best judgment and as result
large numbers of men who would
come under the amendment are already
in the service He declared that re-
ports from boards located in farming
communities show that over 81 percent
OF the men who had been engaged in
pursuits which he termed non-essential
have been drafted.
The adjutant general declared that
large cities like Oklahoma City, Tulsa,
and Muskogee are the ones to be affect
ed by the amendment. The adjutant
general asserted that both the district
boards and the local boards have al
