Here's How It Started YOUR CHANGES OF BEING DRAFTED IN
 THE NEXT WAR.
By PATRICIA DUBBER, Staff Writer, The Democrats Washington Service Bureau

Washington, D. C.-If the United States goes to war, will you be called to serve? No one can authoritative ly answer that question, because no one knows the exact provisions that might be contained in new draft act.
 But it is reasonable to suppose that the pattern of the World War Selective Service Act would be fol- lowed in general, if not in detail, in case of another war.
 During the World War, total de- ferments and exemptions on all grounds amounted to 6,973,270. Un- der the original 1917 plan there were but two classes of registrants; those discharged or exempted, and those accepted. But the classification sys- tenn adopted for 1918 established five classes, graded in the order of their equitable liability to immediate military service. There were:
 CLASS |: The selective service regulations, section 70, read: Every registrant is to be considered as be- longing in Class I until his status giving him the right of deferred classification is fully established" CLASS II. Married man with children, or father of motherless children, where such wife or chil- dren or such motherless children are not mainly dependent upon his labor for support, for reason that there are other reasonably certain sources of adequate support (ex- clusing earnings or possible earn ings from labor of wife) available, and that the removal of registrant
