Tho regulations have been drawn with n view to tho needs and circum stances of tho whole country nnd provide a system which it is expected will work with tho least inequality nnd personal hardship. Any system of selecting men for military service, whether voluntary or involuntary in its operation, necessarily selects some men to bear tho burden of danger and sacrifico for the whole nation. The system hero provided plnccs all men of military ngo upon an even plane nnd then, by selection which neither fnvors the one nor penalizes tho other, calls out the requisite number for service. Tho successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarily upon the loyalty, patriotism nnd justice of the members of the hoards to whom its operation is committed, and I admonish every member of every local board and of every district board of review that their duty.to the country requires nn impartial, fearless performance of the delicate and difficult duties intrusted to them. They should remember ns to each indi vidual case presented to them that they 'are called upon to ndjudicate the most sacred rights of tho individual and to preserve untarnished tho honor of the nation. Our armies at tho front will bo strengthened and sustained if they bo composed of men free from any sense of injustice in their mode of selection, and they will be inspired to loftier efforts in behalf of a country in which tho citizens called upon to perform high public functions perform them with justice, fearlessness and impartiality.
