Wvely laid down by l*resldent Wllaon.
Only 828.000 men are to be called-an
army of 300.«K> and 125.000 reserves-
but army offleers argue that the addi
tional men should know tn advance of
the likelihood of summon* to service.
After lb# selection baa been made the
men win probably be called to the col
ors Sept. 1.
Th# regulations Issued prescribe more
speed▼ work than had been expected
Three days are aUowed to the local
boards to make up their lists, ten day.
for physical examinations and ten days
for bearing claims to exemption.
Call Hot by Alphabet
These on the registration lists are
not to be called alphabetically, but seri
ally. The cards turned over to the lo
cal board* are numbered consecutively
as received. Within tDtpe days after
this ha* been done notices are to la
ms lied to the first third of the list re
quiring them to report for physical ex
amination on the morning of the fifth
day following, for the second third to
report on the sixth dsy and for those
remaining to report on U» seventh day.
To make It possible to examine the
number of men who will appear In
such populous communities as New
York, for example, one examining
physician In addition to the one who
belongs to the local board Is to te
nanted If the number to be examined
on any one day shall exceed eighty,
two If the number exceeds 120, with
- others in like ratio. On# member of
the boardiother than the medical mem
ber must be prrsent at each examlna
tloc. and no member or physician mny
serve where the person lo be examined
Is of nearer kin to him by blo-id or
marriage than second cousin.
A registered man who may be ab
sent from bis home area on the day be
was notified to appear must make a|>-
pllcation. "supported by satisfactory
proof," for examination before anoth
er te.anl. If a registered man Is 111 he
most give proof of this, one affidavit
at least coming from a licensed phy*l-
clan. and In such cases the local texml
may require examination by one of Its
own physicians Those who do lint
furnish such proof within ten days are
to “be recorded as physically qualified.”
Classes of Exemptions.
The regulations tell the dreum
stances In which persons msy he ex

Columbia; ministers of religion, stu
dents of divinity, persons In the mili
tary or naval service of the United
Rules, subjects of Germany residing
In the United States and all other
yealdrot aliens who have not taken out
their first papers.
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
"the statement on the registration of
any socb person that exemption Is
claimed shall not be construed or con
sidered as the presen I niton cf a claim
for exemption.” These claims must
be made In the form Of affidavits or
such other evidence as msy be requir
ed by the local beards within tea days
after the physical examinations
Officers who may claim exemption
are defined as Including "any legisla
tive. executive or Judicial -officer."
These must name and describe the
offices they bold, the dath* on which
they were elected or appointed and
when their terms of office expire.
Ministers who may claim exemption
must be "duly ordained” or "regular.”
They must file affidavits "giving the
name of church, jrUgJoss amt or ore
gantxatloc" In wbkTi they have been
ordained or to wtrtPB they belong, giv
ing tbe datee of their ordination or the

those who "Irregularly or Incidentally
