ht |] a , men suffering from minor ailments, "body or physical perfection of men ~ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1917 mm mm mom ARMY EXEMPTS FACE NEW DRAFT SERVICE Men Already Called and Exempted Because of Physical Defects May Head the New Draft Lists. RECALL ALL EXEMPTIONS New Regulations Provide Special Services for Rejected Men. Nearly 200,000 men already called for examination before draft boards and exempted because of physical de- fects may find they are not exempted at all and may be at the head of the list for next national army draft, un- der the new draft regulations made public recently. This was the opin- ion expressed by officials of the pro- vost marshal general's office last week. The new regulations provide that such as flat foot, slightly defective vision, and other troubles that would preclude their valuable service on the firing line, may be certified for serv- ice with special forces where their work will not require the rigorous in the fighting front. Accurate estimates are not yet available at draft headquarters, but on unofficial returns from the first draft it is estimated that possibly 400,000 or 500,000 eligibles called for examination were exempted because of physical defects. In nearly half of these cases the ailments were of such a minor character as to permit the eligibles to earn their own livelihood without their defects being common- ly known. These men will be used in the organization of road and wag- on gangs and in special trades in which they are especially qualified. Recall All Exemptions. It is not believed they will become subject to the first draft, all of which probably will be mobilized by Decem- ber 15, the time at which the new regulations go into effect, but they will be placed back on the list of eligibles in their regular order of liability. Most of the reguiatiops, inclyding tus pall Of 1% "mportance to the public, become effective at noon of December 15, and up to that time all men called for mobilization or en- trainment will be called under first draft regulations. After that date and as soon as a classification list is drawn up from the new question- naires men now selected for service but not yet called will be reclassified under the new regulations, but in most cases their order of responsi- bility for service will not be greatly changed. All registrants not yet in camp when the new regulations become effective will be handled according to the new regulations after Deceit | ber 15. All exemptions and dis- charges will be recalled and the ex- empted or discharged eligibles will be reclassified and re-examined. Exempt Ship Builders. The principal changes in the new regulations will be: Exemption of all eligibles entered on the draft list as being engaged in the building of ships either for the navy or the emergency fleet corporation. The powers of local boards will be extended to fixing the classification of all eligibles, including agricultural and industrial laborers and district or appeal boards will become simply reviewing boards to determine whether classifications made by the local board are correct. Boards of lawyers will be formed in every community, to serve without fees, who will advise all registrants about the correct way to answer the question forms or questionnaires that will be sent them by local boards. Local boards will be constituted ju- dicial bodies, with power to summon and swear witnesses for hearings on any case. They may require the po- lice to serve summons and witnesses who fail to respond will be practically in contempt of court and their cases will be turned over to the local courts. After December 15 there will be no voluntary enlistments in the army, all entrance to the army being through mobilization camps, and until com- plete lists are made up by local boards from questionnaire returns, there will be no enlistments in the marine corps or navy by draft elig- ibles except upon certification from their local boards that they are suffi- Sailor At Great Lakes Taking Up A Collection Among New Recruits AS soon as a recruit arrives in "Detention" at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, he loses his cigarets, chewing gum, pistol, bowie knife, chewing tobacco, and all matches that are not of the "safety" variety. A seaman guard passes along the lines of recruits with a waste basket and the articles tabooed must be dropped into the basket be- fore the recruit reports to the officer in charge of the camp. Pipes and smoking tobacco, however, can be retained and used. From the moment the recruit ar- commandant of Naval Training station, yesterday an- nounced the following as patronesses for the big nav the drill hall Navy Ball. Mrs. W. A.

This action followed an agitation by a former student. Protect Married Men. Men of draft age with dependent relatives are placed in a more se- cure position. There is no way under the new plan in which men with de- pendents can be called up for service out of their turn. Added protection for dependents is secured by the re- quirement in cases where the regis- trant seeks to waive his deferred classification status that waivers also must be obtained from those depend- ent upon him before he can be taken into the military service. The effect of the regulations is to close the ranks of the army, navy, or marine corps absolutely to men be- tween 21 and 31 years old where they have dependents upon them who would suffer if they went to the front. Local boards are constituted judges of all such cases. U. S.
