General has issued the following:
Provost Marshall General Crowder

seIectiye service regulations which

The idler, too, viii find himself CON
ironted with the alternative of find
ing suitable employment or entering
the army.
RMS regulation provides that after
july ! any registrant who is found by
local board to be a habitual idIer
or not engaged in some useful occu-
patton shall be summoned before the
board, given a chance to explain. and
in the absence of a satisfactory ex-

jurisdiction of the registrant or not;
IN other words, any man loafing
around pool room in Chicago may
be held to answer to a Chicago hoard
even though he may have registered
in New York and lived there most of
his life.
The regulations which apply to
idle registrants will be deemed to an
ply also to gam blers of all descrip-
tons and employees and attendants
of bucket shops and race tracks, for
tune tellers, clairvoyants, palmists.
and the like who, for the purposes
of the regulations, shall be consid-
cred as idlers.
The new regulation will also affect
the following classes:
ca Persons engaged in the serv-
ing Of food and drink, or either, in
public places, including hotels and
social clubs.
OBJ Passenger elevator operators
and attendants. doormen, footmen,
and other attendants of clubs, hotels,

camille establishments.
Men who are engaged as above or
who are idlers will not be permitted

List Will BE Extended

1t is expected that the list of non
useful occupations will be extended
from time to time as necessity will
require, so as to include persons in
other employments.
Temporary absences from regular
employment not to exceed one week,
unless such temporary absences are
habitual and frequent, shall not be
considered as idleness. Regular
vacations will not be considered as
absences in this connection.
The regulation throws further
safeguard around men not usefully
employed, by providing that where
there are compelling domestic cir
cumstances that would not permit
change of employment by the regis
trant without disproportionate hard
ship to his dependents, or where
change from non-useful to useful en-
ployment or occupation would neces-
state a rem oval Of the registrant or
his family. Local boards may give
consideration to the circumstances
The regulation further provides that
where such a change of employment
would compel the night employment
of women under circumstances which
board might deem unsuitable for
such employment of women, the
board may take such circumstances
into consideration in making its de-
cision.
Statement of General CroWdeT
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
in discussing the new regulation,
said
The war has so far disorganized
the normal adjustment of industrial
man power as to prevent the enor-
nous industrial output and national
organization necessary to success.
There is a popular demand for or
ganization of man power, but no di-
rect draft could be imposed at pres
ent.
steps to prohibit idleness and non
effective occupation will be welcomed
by our people.
We shall give the idlers and men
not effectively employed the choice
between military service and effect
i've employment. Every man in the
draft age, at least, must work or
fight.
This is not alone a war Of military
maneuyer. 1t is a deadly contest OF
industries and mechanics. Germany
must not be thought of as merely
