DRAFTED MEN TO
CLAIM DEFERMENT

) ???
Individual Himself Should Be
the Judge Whether He
Dons Khaki or not
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder
says that local registration boards
have the right to extend deferred
classifications to regst rants whether
they are claimed or not. He made
this statement in an effort to remove
any doubt as to the attitude of his
office toward men who have dependent.^
but are unwilling to claim deferred
classification or exemption.
"This office desires to reassert
that there has been no change made
in the regulations regarding the authority
of local boards to grant deferred
classification to registrants
on the ground of dependency." said
Gen. Crowder. "Local boar Is have
always had the right to extend deferred
classification, irresnective of
whether the registrants do or do not
make claims. A registrant is, there- (
fore, at liberty, if he sees fit, to trust |
to the scrutiny of the boards to dis- |
cover by examination of his ques- j
tionnaire the necessity for his defer- j
mcnt."
Registrants* Help Is Needed.
Gen. Crowder makes en appeal to ,
the registrant to ask for exemption .
err deferred classification if he is en- |
titled to it to save the Government ,
offcials time and trouble. He thinks ^
that it is his duty to do so. j
''Pressed as they have been in their (
work," General Crowder explained, ,
"boards have been and will be prone
to defer to the judgement of the in- ]
dividual himself on the point that
he has no dependents who require
that he continue in civil life, and to
refrain in such cases from giving
, li. . i r i_ I
ciassuicauon on uie grounu 01 uependency.
"The boards will welcome and need
all the aid that can be furnished by
the indication of a claim made for
deferment," said he. "With the aid
the process will become a simple and
speedy one. Time and labor will not
be wasted on needless search, and
ample time will be granted for addition
to those cases where the claim
is explicitly raised.
"It should be borne in mind," the
Con oral said, "by the individual registrant
that the military programme
of this country, built around the desire
of all concerned to win victory
for our cause as quickly as possible,
demands of the selective system the
utmost speed in classifying the 13,000.000,
approximi tely, who registered
on Sept. 12.
Speed Needed in Raising Army.
? "If all these 13,000,000 registrants
were to decline to aid the boards by
iniliptitinn' tlioii* r\wr\ it Hiln wurjii'd- I
^?v'4 " " ? * ^?V?. V. ,
ing deferment and were to rely entirely
in the ability of the boards to
perceive the propriety of making1 deferment,
the whole process of raising
the army would be seriously hampered
and delayed. This applies
equally to those entitled to deferment
on the grounds of dependency
and those on the ground of necessary
occupational employment. Either
the claim should be made by the
registrant or by a competent third
person in his behalf."
The following additional official re
turns on the registration Sept. 12
were received up to noon to-day:
Arizona, 52,870, against an estimate
of 49,794; Louisiana, 209,129,!
against an estimate of 212,580; j

19-3(1 Men Get Questionnaires.
Additional time is to he given to
local boards to correct errors in assigning
serial numbers to the 13,000,000
registrants between eighteen and
forty-five years old, it is understood
here, and the national lottery which
is to determine approximately the or
del* of the calling of those recently
registered, will therefore probably
not be held before next week. Officials,
it is understood, had hoped to
fix a date late this week.
The Provost Marshal Gen' ral's
office states that questionnaires are
being sent only to those between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-six inclusive.
