DRAFT REGISTRANTS
Questionnaire Automatically
Revokes All Exemptions and
Discharges Under First Draft.
The 148 questions for remaining 9,900,-
000 draft registrants to answer beginning
December 15, constitute a searching in
quiry into each man's life and fitness and
determine, through the action of local
draft boards, the order of his call to
military service.
This questionnaire automatically re
vokes all exemptions and discharges un
der the first draft. Failure to return his
answers in seven days after he receives
the questions makes the registrant liable
to a year in prison. Such men may be
certified into the first class called. Mailing
of the list by the local board constitutes
legal notice to the registrant. His failure
to receive it does not excuse him.
The five official classifications of regis
trants follow:
Class One.

atives.
(b) Married men with or without chil
■ dren. or father of motherless children who
has habitually failed to support his fam

gaged in a useful occupation, is not main
