Determination of the Industrial and
agricultural qualification Of every draft
registrant is proceeding under direction
Of Deputy Provost Marshal johnson. as
part Of the system to place every man
called to the colors in a position where
his civilian experience will prove OF
greatest wartime value to the govern.
ment.
The assembled information will en-
able Provost Marshal General Crowde1
to ascertain quickly the individuals
who can be called into service to meet
demands Of the War Department for
skilled workers. The local board will
inquire into the physical fitness of the
man. while the district board will be
called upon to learn if his value in the
civilian position makes it inadyisable
for the government to call him into
military service.
Information regarding every regis
trant Is forwarded to the provost mar
shars Office in card form. The system
has resulted in the acquisition by the
government of detailed knowledge re-
garding the qualifications of all regis

extension of the plan to men beyond
prehensive survey Of the nations labor
ing army.
Plans for the second draft as now un-
der consideration include calling 100000

plete. In that way officials expect to
avoid much of the confusion which ac-
companied the first call. The men will
report in a steady stream and be assim-
ilated into the military machine before
the next lot is received.
1t has been definitely settled that the
first contingents will be used to fill va
cancies in National Guard divisions
caused by the withdrawal Of men for
the organization. of special and tech
nical units. Similar vacancies in the
National Army divisions will have been
filed by that time from tho final in
