New Draft Rules
(Special Dispatch to The Tribune)

lations governing the classification of
Persons in the new draft, as announced
to-day by Provost Marshal General
< rowder, directions to registrants on
now to mark correctly their question
r'firei and the extent to which Ad?
visory Boards may go were set forth.
' v sed regulations place full re
'? on the registrant himself
to prove- his essentiality tu any occupa?
tion he may be engaged in, and outline
a- length the powers of the Advisory
Koar-i.. have in aiding the local boards
: extending deferred classification.
^'?"- point is emphasized that "no
rant will be entitled to deferred

tional or employment grounds, includ
lng agriculture, unless ho himself or
'he person or persons who may make
claim in his behalf can convince the
district board (1) that the industry,

district boards with (be responsibility ?
of determining whether a registrant's!
occupation, is such as to "require his I
continued service in civil life rather i
than in the army."
Aid for Local Boards
In reaching this determination an
advisory board, composed of a mcm
ber representing labor, another appear?
ing fur agriculture and a third repre?
senting the community interests, is
created to assist the local board. It
is empowered not only to aid the board
in deciding on claims of registrants,
but also is directed to make inde?
pendent investigation of the regis?
trant's status in civil life, notwith?
standing the declarant refused to
claim deferred classification.
On tin? subject <>.' the adjustments
to he made between th*- military, in?
dustrial am! civil need v{' the regis?
trant the regulations state:
"The necessity of not seriously in?
terfering with certain occupations and
employments, such as financial, com?
mercial, educational, hospital work,
care of the public health, or with the
conduct of certain other activities nec?
essary to the public, welfare and the
prosecution of the war requires that
the district boards have the coopera?
tion of such advisers so that persons
necessary in such activities be not re?
moved therefrom. To this end the ad?
viser nominated by the* district board
should bring to the attention of the dis?
trict board the questions as to whether
or not individuals engaged in some
particular industry, occupation or em?
ployment are so necessary as to out?
weigh the benefit to the nation should
they be drafted into the army."
Duties of Advisers
Further defining the duties of the
advisers, the regulations continue:
"Such advisers shall have access to
the questionnaires and other records
in the tiles of the local boards, and
shall confer with persons engaged in
various industries, occupations and em?
ployments for the purpose of having
the cases of certain individual regis?
trants, by whom or in whose behalf no
claim for deferred classification has
been made, presented to the District
Board for consideration and determina?
tion as to whether or not such regis?
trants should be placed in a deferred
class.
"It shall be the duty of such ad?
visers to confer with the managers and
heads of various industries, and those
familiar with the needs in occupations
and employments, including agricul?
ture, and instruct such persons as to
their right under the regulations to
file a claim for deferred classification,
in respect of any registrant who has
failed or refused to file a claim for de
fern d classification in his own behalf,
or wino lias waived his claim for de?
ferred classification."
Definition of "Necessary"
The registrant who claims exemp?
tion not only has to convince the
board that the industry in which he is
employed is necessary, hut that he is
necessary to such necessary industry.
The word "necessary" as applied to the
relation of the registrant to the in?
dustry shall be taken to import:
(1) That the registrant is actually
and completely engaged in the in?
dustry, in the capacity recited, and
that he is competent and qualified in
that capacity.
(2) That the removal of the reg?s- ;
traut would result in direct, substan?
tial, material loss ami detriment to
the effectiveness of the industry.
(3) That the available supply of per- !
sons competent in the capacity recited
in the rule is such that the registrant '
cannot be replaced in such capacity
without direct, substantial, material
loss and detriment to the adequate and
effective operation of the industry, or
occupation, or employment, or agri?
cultural enterprise.
Applying the Rules
In applying these rules the board is|
directed to consider generally:
(1) The length of time the registrant
has been enaged in such capacity, and
especially whether the circumstances of
lus engagement are such as to con?
vince the board that he is not now so
engaged for the primary purpose of
evading military service.
(") The nature of the claimant's
study, training, or experience and the
extent and value of his qualification for
the capacity in which he is engaged.
(3) The actual conditions which
would result from his removal.
The revised regulations also contain ;
direction to Red Cross, Y. M. C. A.,
Knights of Columbus and Jewish Wei- '.
fare League workers on how to pro- ;
eeed to claim deferred classification?
because of their engagement in occu?
pations said to be "necessary to the
maintenance of the military establish- i
ment or effective operation of the mili
tary forces or the maintenance of na- I
tional interest during the emergency." !

"No bitch or impediment of any sort is
expected. We are practically ready to I
handle the enrolment right now. This

maining days making our machinery ;
KiO per cent efficient."
Slacker Round-Up Fruitful
1,500 Men Sent into Service; :
300 More May Go
The work of examining men who
were caught in the. slacker round-up
?.vas continued yesterday. Most of
those held are being found fit and will
be- immediately inducted into service.
It is expected that when the work is
complete 300 men, in addition to the '
1,505 already sent to the various camp.?..
will be found.
Chief Do Woody yesterday received a i
number of letters praising his work in
conducting the round-up.
Marine Volunteers Eagerly
Await Word They're Wanted
I
Several thousand young men through?
out the country have been waiting with
eagerness since August 0 to learn
whether the ban von voluntary enlist?
ment, will be lifted. They?aro the men
to whom the message of Bcllcau Wood
and Chateau Thierry was irresistible,
the men who enrolled.by hundreds daily
in the United States "Marine Corps in
New York alone, to be duly enlisted if
the volunteer system survived.
The average daily number of appli?
cants at the Marino Corpa recruiting
station at 24 Fast Twenty-third Street
has been more than two hundred. Gen?
erally they were a husky, scrappy lot
War has not lowered the standard of
fitness set by the marines, as is shown
by tiie fact that one ?lay recently out
of 205 applicants only forty passed the
examination.
For the most part they are young
nieii; that is the impression made by
the crowd that clusters thickly in the
ante-room where applications are made
out and stretches in a long line through
the doorway, through the hall, down the
stairs and sometimes out into Twenty
third Street?young fellows responding
to the yell of the gang that "there's a
scrap on."
Grny Heads in Line, Too
There are gray heads in the line
now and then, too, and other men with
lines of responsibility in their faces.
rhcro an* college students, "prep"
school boys, business men, tailors and
'longshoremen and perhaps, onco in a
while, a thug or a gunman. There are
all creed.-., all classes, all ages. Reck?
oning from the. individual the crowd
defies analysis; as a whole it is char?
acterized by youth, vigor, purpose anc
a courtesy most extraordinary.
Let a boy of eighteen, accompanied
by his mother, enter the office of t
dean of any college whore sub-fresh
?men are gathered for matriculation
and suppose that the dean turns asid?
from the first comers to listen to i
somewhat detailed account of tin
youth's aspirations as related by hi:
mother. There is going to be whisper
ing and snickering among those sub
freshmen, and the unhappily convoye?
youth will get a baptism of scorn tha
may embitter his entire college careei
An Example in Courtesy
Something- similar occurred the othe
day at 24 Fast Twenty-third Street
and the effect, was most enlightening
A gray-haired woman in black, fol
lowed by a boy of eighteen, pushe
her way through the doorway past th
; waiting line and stood, somewhat bt
wildered, in the midst of the crow
; of men. Even before embarrassing at
i tention had been centred upon th
newcomers a stocky youth in a ragge
1 jumper jerked the sleeve of a marin.
who was almost hidden by a knot c
applicants.
"Hey, sarge," he whispered hoars?
ly, "there's a lady waitin'."
At the whisper the knot of men di
solved magically and its members r?
mained as far in the background as tl
, various other knots of men permitte
while the woman in black related th;
she came from Trenton, that si
war, a friend of President Wilson ar
? that it was her son whom she hi
brought. The boy was in his last, ye;
?in a preparatory school, she said, b
I school had no more interest for hin
i lie was bound to enlist. She h;
thought o. the Naval Reserve Fore
but that didn't suit her son, who h;
insisted on trying the marines first.
Pride in the Service
With the utter conviction of
marine and in language suited to 1
auditor, though he had to pause on
in a while for a word, the marine ga
her his opinion of the Naval Reser
Force, adding as a clincher.
"I certainly couldn't advise him
enlist there. Why, we have naval re- ?
seryisti coming here 'most every day i
trying to get int.o the marines."
It ended with the boy getting a ?
place in line while the marine re?
turned to his application blanks and
the woman in black went out to wait. -
There Was not a smile, not a whisper.
not a snicker in the entire crowd.
They made a place for the boy and the !
men on either side of him chatted with I
him while they waited. He was one of
the gang. ?
When (he application blanks have I
been tilled and men obviously under ,
weight, lacking in height or otherwise I
unlit are weeded out right then and j
there the candidates gather at. a door
marked "Examinations." Inside the
"Examinations" door the applicants be?
come a "class."
In (he Examination Room
Before volunteering was stimulated to
an abnormal degree by the exploit of
the United States Marine Corps bri?
gade at Belleau Wood these "classes,"
generally of about, thirty men each,
were bandied by the examiners with
machine-like precision. Now there are
forty or fifty in each "class," which
i.? almost more than the examining
room can accommodate and the ex?
aminers work under pressure, knowing
that before they have finished another
"class" will be clamoring for admis?
sion.
To a layman the tests still are run
off with remarkable smoothness, but
the physician in'charge apologizes for
them and explains the reason for the
"confusion."
"Fall in, there." copies a crisp com?
mand, with an explanatory "get in line,
one behind the other, lacing this way."
"'this way" is in '.lee direction of ser?
geants who tcsf the vision and examine,
the teeth and throats of the applicants.
Other marines are casting appraising
glances along the line and as they pick
a mini of suspicious slendcrness or un?
disguised shortness, they call him out
with a "here, you, been weighed yet?"
and weigh him or measure him forth?
with.
Process of Elimination
It is a process of elimination from
the time the man first enters the door
of the recruiting station and the ex?
aminers intend to see to it that they
waste no more time on poor prospects
than they have to. "Stretch," the man
at the height gauge will say to a likely
looking lad, "you can stretch all you
got a mind to. Now, walk out," and'be
examines the mark. "Too bad, you
lack half an inch. You can go."
As the men in line pass the eye,
throat and teetli examiners they cross
the room to a surgeon who examines
their ears ".ml nose;: and puts a num?
ber on each application blank. Those
who pass him are directed to take oft
their clothes. A number corresponding
to that on the application blank is
inked on the chest of each.
Then, in the "swimmin' hole" get-up
the. college men, the 'longshoremen, tin.
tailors and the rest are lined up agair
and examined. This test includes ar
examination of the heart, and the whole
line is instructeel to squat and rise
alternately, keeping up the exercis?
briskly until the surgeon reaches eacl
with his stethoscope. This sight ha;
its ludicrous aspect::, as the forty o
i fifty men, each wearing nothing sav
| the number inked on his chest, spas
| modically contract and elongate, cac'
j jostling bis neighbor in the process
i Levity is not encouraged though.
"Knock Off that Laughin'"
"Knock off that laughin' there!" an
? "Lay off on the talking'; tell about i
! after you get home!" is the tronchar
, advice offered by a sergeant at ever
outbreak.
There is another thorough physic;
i examination after the heart test, th
! examiners calling out such phrases ??
! "Thirty-one, incipient hernia," whic
' are promptly echoed from another co
'. ner with "Thirty-one, put on yol
clothes." "Put on your clothes" is tl
"thumbs down" of the examinatic
room.
When it is over those who ha*
passed are told that their names a
on file and that if further enlistmei
is permitted they will be notified.
the meantime, they are just to wa
And so they have been waiting, tho
sands of them, since August 9.

Yanks Play "Hookey" From War
Vacation to Get Into Battle
American soldiers just won't keep '
out of the thick of the fighting. If!
i their own detachment eloesn't fight ;
i long enough to suit them the indomit-1
: able doughboys arc not above slipping!
! away anil fighting with British orj
i French relief units.
Vacation billets, with baseball and
| 11 nl im i ted sleep, have no charm for them
| once they have caught a whiff of bat
; tie smoke. George W. Titus, of Misha
! waka, Ind., who returned yesterday
| from six months' service with the
? Young Men's Christian Association,
; gave this testimony concerning the
i spirit ?if America's fighting men in
I the course of his explanation as to
j the delays in the compiling of casualty
j lists. Frequently, he saiel, American
i soldiers are killed in action several
? days after they are supposed to have
left the front for a rest resort, and it
takes a long time for their officers to
learn their fate. Mr. Titus continued:
IJon't Want Vacations
"Our boys are so willing to give up
the rest and easy time which they
have carneel by hard work in the
?trenches that very often they remain
j at the front anel go into action with
?relief units, sometimes French or
| British troops, days after they should
| have been in a leave camp recuperat?
ing for another tour of duty at the
front.
"It is difficult, to understand how
this could happen unies.? one hael se?-n
how our fighting men may become*
separated from their unite in hard
battles.
"They go over the top together, but
after that anything may happen. When
units are withdrawn to make way for
the relief small forces often become
detached from their own companies.
While waiting for some of their fel?
lows the lure of battle will become so
strong that they rush back into action
with units tha* they have never seen
before.
"I recall particularly one case when
it was necessary to divide, a company
that was scheelule'el to leave and de?
tail half of the men for reserve duty,
while the others wont back to their
resting place. The captain stated the
case briefly, and askeel for volunteers.
Every man in the company volunteered."
Wounded Show Great Grit
The men who were, wounded in ac?
tion, Mr. Titus said, showed exactly
the same magnificent spirit as those
who refused to leave the fight. When
they were able to walk at. all they
managed to make their way to the
dressing stations unaided in order that
help might go more quickly to their
comrades lying on the battlefield.
"1 saw one man with both arms
dangling helpless from his sides," h.?
saiel. "I know that only by supreme
nerve was be. overcoming the pain be
suffered, and I heard him tell two
stretcher bearers not to mind him, but
to keep on and bring in a man with
wounded legs."
