FIRST MEN OF 18 TO 45 DRAFT GO IN OCTOBER

General Crowder Makes Public New "Work or Fight" Questionnaire. By A. 8. Henning ' In Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. With the announcement of a speeding up program designed to place in the training camps before the end of October the first contingents of the new draft registrants. 18 to 45 years old. Provost Marshal General Crowder made public today the new draft questionnaire. By consulting the definitions of classification with which the questionnaire is prefaced the registrant may ascertain in what group of men he is likely to be called to the colors. The questionnaire which will be filled out by registrants immediately after registration day does not differ in any essential particular from the one used for preceding registrants. It provides the same five classes of registrants, but a new class is added at the bottom of the list to include conscientious objectors. - la Your Work Essential? Amendments of the draft law contained in the 18 tP 45 act designed to cover cases of men of the advanced ages have brought about changes in the provisions of the questionnaire for claims of deferred classification on grounds of industrial occupation. One question registrants will be called upon to answer is: "Are you engaged in an industrial enterprise necessary (a) to the maintenance of the military establishment

or (b) to the effective operation of the!

military forces or (c) to the maintenance of national Interest during the emergency?" Must Show Right to Exemption. If the answer is "No" it will not be necessary to answer any further questions. If deferred classification is claimed on occupational grounds the registrant will be asked in what respect he claims the occupation is essential. It was" first thought the questionnaire would be amended to charge draft boards with the duty of passing upon the question of deferred classification, without requiring the registrants to specifically make such claim, but this was abandoned, and the men from 31 to 45, as well as the boys from 18 to 21, will be required to answer the question: "Do you claim exemption or deferred classification in respect to the registrant named above? If so, state the division of each class and each class in which you claim you should be classified." Drawing Early In October. The draft drawing will be held approximately twenty days after registration, or about Oct. 2. Classification of the registrants will begin at once, to obtain the first 18 to 45 men needed to fill the October draft call. A 100day drive will be launched to Qpmplete the classification of the entire 13,000,000 registrants by Jan. 1, 1919. President Wilson will fix age groups to be classified first. The 19 and 20 year men probably will form one of the groups to provide men for the October call, because the task of classifying these men will be lighter than in the case of men of the advanced ages. On account of the delays expected In classifying men of the advanced ages from 35 to 45, it is hardly likely many men from thib class will be called for several months. Outlines Registration Plana. Gen. Crowder outlined today the plans for registering and classifying the new 18 to 45 draft class as follows: Registrars in the 4,500 local boards in the United States will make reports to the adjutant general of their states at the close of the registration September 12. These reports will be compiled for each state by the adjutants general and reported to Washington, giving totals of registrants in each state not later than Saturday. Local boards will begin at once to assign serial numbers to the registrants, mailing these cards with serial numbers affixed to the adjutant general of the state. Not more than ten days will be allotted to this task, which must be completed, with the registration cards in the mails, before the date for the drawing can be fixed. Will Rush Questionnaires. The next step is the delivery by local boards of questionnaires to registrants. Formerly 5 per cent a day of

these questionnaires was sent out un

til the list was completed. The 5 per

cent limitation ia now removed and

they will be sent out as speedily as

possible.

Registrants will be encouraged to

aid the speed up program by returning their questionnaires, properly fi ed out, as soon as possible. Legal ad

visory boards in every communitv will

be formed to aid registrants in filling

out their questionnaires. Registrants

will be urged not to take advantage of the seven days given them by law in

which to return their questionnaires

but to fill them out at once.

in rormer registrations tne ques

tionnaires have not been sent out un

til after the drawing in Washington and after the ordered numbers had been affixed to the registration cards. After the registration next week the questionnaires will be sent out with only the serial number and not t&e order number. This will effect a saving of 25 to 30 days. Some Will Ge in October. Gen. Crowder estimates that the drawing in Washington will be held on Oct. 2 or soon thereafter. The war department by that time will have furnished the provost marshal general's office with the requisition of men wanted in October. This will be filled for the first part of the month with men remaining from the preceding drafts. The men for the last half of October will come from the new draft, but Gen. Crowder was unable to estimate today what number will be called. "We are up against a proposition of stupendous proportions," Gen. Crowder said. "Registration and classification of 12,000,000 men in 100 days is the task we have set for ourselves. "On Dec. 15, 1917, we began a sixtyday drive to classify 9,000,000 registrants. A total of 60 per cent, of the draft boards completed this classification within the sixty days limit. All could have been through if all had employed the same expeditious methods of the 60 per cent, that finished on time. Even Prisoners Must Register. "This new task contemplates the classification of 4,000,000 more men than were classified last year, but the boards are now working more expeditiously, and with forty days more in which to complete the job, we should be successful in completing the classification of the 13,000,000 by Jan. 1." Gen. Crowder sajd the classification of men from 31 to 45 would be a more difficult task than the preceeding classification, because there will be a larger percentage of men to be given deferred classification because of being essential to the economic life of the nation or because of dependency. But the classification of the men below 21 will be comparatively simple, as there will be few claims to deferred classification in this class. Even inmates of penitentiaries will

be registered Sept. 12. Felons will not be drafted into the army, but the wardens of prisons will be required to register them. Persons awaiting trial, and those convicted merely of misdemeanors, will be treated as absentees and their cards will be forwarded to local boards by jailers. Insane Also to Fill Cards. Inmates of insane asylums and similar institutions Will be aided in filling out registration cards by superintendents and physicians who will be charged with the responsibility of forwarding these cards to the local boards. No one will be exempted from registering except men now in the military' or naval service and reserves and men in the diplomatic or consular corps of foreign governments resident In the United States.

Americans in Yukon Difficulty in Registering DAWSON, Yukon Territory, Sept 6. Since the abolishing of the American consulate at Dawson, Americans have no way of registering under the milftary service act. There are several hundred Americans here engaged in the mining business and at a meeting last night it was decided to appeal to the American consular at Vancouver, before asking for the appointment of a permanent consular agent here. The application names John Rathbone, handling American mails passing through ' Canadian territory enroute to Alaska, as temporary registrar. Many Americans here express anxiety and state that their remote arctic residence will entail great expense and time if required immediately to leave for American points for registration.
