Saving OF many lives will result
from the study of vital statistics
made available to the government as
a result of the selective draft process
es, especially from the physical ex
animation of 3,26S,466 men, it is be-
lieved.
While no attempt has been made
as yet to study thoroughly the in
formation derived from the physical
examination of registrants, local
board for division No. 129, in New
York city, has made an auspicious

to medical authorities for analysis.
Already the figures seem to indicate
clearly that foreign-born registrants
were of lower physical standard than
native born. :.
OF every 100 men called for service
under the draft, examining officials
found 2.76 per cent were suffering
from defects which could be remedied
entirely if the applicants submitted
to short and simple course. The
original plan of the draft authorities
to induct these men and have their
defects corrected at Army hospitals
was dropped because of the lack of
facilities, but government officials
have not abandoned entirely the idea
of federal assistance in this recon
struction work under some future
social betterment program.
Registrants who possessed physical
defects Of such degree as to prevent
them from rendering military service
of any Kind totaled 521, sos and con-
stituted 1925 per cent of the total
