More Than Nine Million RuttsU-aats j Will nu out Queeuonii to Be a Mulled by Local Boards--Work to a lie Completed Within Sixty Days. t Washington. Nov. io.- President \ Wilson formally put the new nr.- " chinery for the carrying out of the se- ( lective draft hill into operation to- 1 ? ] night with the publication of the foreword he has written to the regu? lations under which the second ? will he made. The regulations them? selves and the questionnaires which more than 9,000,000 registrants will bo required to till out are being for- j warded to local hoards but nave not yet been made public. War department officials estimate that the whole process can be com- ! pleted within 60 days. This means' that no second call will be made up? on the draft forces before the middle' of next February as the period of classification will not begin until De- ' cember 15. The president describes the r.ew plan of dividing all registered men \ not already mobilized into five classes, ?Ubjeot to military service by classes, as being intended to produce- a mot e perfect organization of our man pow? er." "The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclusion," the president said. And he added there must be made a complete inventory of qualifications of each registrant in order to determine 'the place in the military ranks of the nation in which his experience and training can best be made to serve the common good." The inquiry projected in the ques? tionnaire will go deep into the quali? fications of each of nearly 10,000,00? men. The success of the plan and its completion within the estimated time rests absolutely upon the whole hearted support given by the people, especially by the doctors and lawyers of each community and the president calls upon them for their unstinted aid. The president's foreword follows: "The task of selecting and mobiliz? ing the first contingent of the Nation al Army is Hearing completion. The expedition and accuracy of its accom? plishment were a most gratifying demonstration of the efficiency of our democratic institutions. The swiftness with which the machinery for its ex? ecution had to be assembled, however left room for adjustment and improve? ment. New regulations putting these improvements into effect, are there? fore, being published today. There is no change in the essential obligatio!, of men subject to selection. The first draft must stand unaffected by thc provisions of the new regulations. They can be given no retroactive ef? fect. "The time has come for a more per? fect organization of our man power. The selective principle must be car? ried to its logical conclusion. We must make a complete inventory of the qualifications of all registrants ir order to determine as to each man not al? ready selected for duty with the col? ors, the place In the military, indus? trial or agricultural ranks of the na? tion in which his experience and training can best be made to serve th I government. This project involves an inquiry by the selection boards into the domestic, industrial and educa? tional qualifications of nearly 10,000, 000 men. Members of these board: have rendered a conspicuous service The work was done without regard tr personal service and conditions under pressure of immediate necesity, which imposed great sacrifice. The service trained by the experience of the firs draft, must of necessity be retained and the selection board must provide the directing mechanism for the new classification. The thing they have done Is scarcely one-tenth the mag nltUde of the tiling that remains to be done, it is of great importance both to our military and our econom? ic interests that the classification be carried swiftly and accurately to B conclusion. An estimate of the time necessary for the work leads to the conclusion thai it can he accomplish? ed in 60 days. "] call upon all citizens therefore, to assist local and district boards by proffering their service and such ma? terial service os they eair offer as by appearing before the boards either upon summons or upon tlacir own In? itiative, to give stab Information as will be useful In classifying regis? trants. 1 urge men of the legal pro? fession to offer themselv?ts as asso 1 iatc members of the legal advisory boards to be provided In each com? munity for the purpose of advising registrants of their rights arid obliga? tions and Of assisting then. In the pre paration of their answers to the questions which all men subject to ?halt are required to submit. I ask the doctors of the country to Identify themselves with the medical adviSOrj boards which are to be constituted in the various districts throughout ihe nited States for ths purpose of mak ng a systematic physical exam Ina - ion of registrants. It is important hat police officials of every grade and lass should he nformed of their 'uty under the selective .service tw and regulatloi s, to search for ?ersons who the whole legal profession of th? Fnlted States as assistants of the se? lective service system, and as impar? tial advisers to registrants in filling out their questionnaires. Under the new regulation* a place is to be pro? vided convenh it to every local board where registrants may go for free ad? vice and assist ance and in making out this document. The county judge or other judicial officer of a similar court Is placed at the head of a committee of lawyers in each vicinity and this committee is charged wih the duty of seeing that there are always plen? ty of lawyers and other volunteers present to he p registrants in filling out the questionnaire. "Questionnaires are to be mailed by the local boards to 5 per cent, of the registrants each day. The principal work of the gal advisory board will thus be over in 20 days by which time all the questionaires j-hould be re? turned to the boards. Every man has seven days n which to return bis questionnaire fully made out. The process* of classification will begin about December 15. Eight days later the boards will begin the great proc? ess of classit; cation which becomes in the words of the president a national war undertaking of ?such significance as to challenge the attention and com? pel the assistance of every American. Not sine? the war began has an opportunity been offered for practi? cally every person to take an active part in so important a war measure as the actual raising of our armies. The president's foreword offers this opportunity. It gives a definite place for the dociors to work in making the physicat examination. For th? first time i*. assigns every lawyer to active duty hi building up the Nation? al Army. In the legal advisory boards it gives every one who responds to the president's call a place in the ranks of the army behind the army. "The nation already has a remark? able record of efficiency in adjusting its political machinery to the regis? tration of 19,000,000 men within 18 days. WooMy Weather Forecast.
