It is estimated that there are about that many men among those who registered that have no visible means of support, They are loafers, and of course, the percentage of disease and physical disability is exceptionally high among them. Nearly allof them will be exempted under the present arrangement. To remedy this the Government is seriously planning re- ¢laimation camps and good authorities calculate that on the average many of them can be be reclaimed by the ex- penditure of $100 each. The fact which particularly appeals to the War Department officials fs that the 2,000,000 human parasites who will be rejected because of physi eal shortcomings will be thrown back upon the country to fileh their lives off others, as they have been doing. It is asserted that many of the slackers will contract diseases to avold being drafted into military service, They have already pointed out how easily that ean be done, Today (Thursday) is Flag Day.
