GOES TO PRESIDENT
General Crowder's Plan to 6o
Presented to the Presi
dent Today
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2G. New regula
tions for appljlng the army draft virtually
ero completed yesterday at the office of the
Provost Marshal General, and ptobably will
be submitted to President Wilson today
for final approval. The President already
has approved the general plan, under which
all registered men not yet called will be
classified In five group In accordance with
their availability for military servlc-.
Provost Marshal General Crowdcr has
cleared up the question ns to how the draft
numbers now held by the nearly 0,000,000
uncalled registrants will be applied to the
from the drnfl numbers In the order of
new clnspincatlos
In each local district the key made up
their drawing will be applied to each class
or group In other words, the men of Clsss
One, in which will be placed those of the
least alue nt homo and wlih the slightest
obligations to dependents, will be called In
the order of their serial numbers until that
class Is exhausted, Just as though all other
rlasaes hud been exempted. When flas-fl
tine Is exhausted the same process will bo
applied to Clans Two, nnd so on dowi to
t'lnss Five. If It ever should become 'iccca
narj to carry It that far. v
Thus i man whoso serial number In the
great war lottery hnd led him to belleo
that lie would, ( . among tho i.ist hum
inoiyrt may ba assigned to she first' clas
nnd ordered Into service with tno lust
quota On tho other hand, another whose
number nvsurcd him originally .- place wlt'i
Hie next Increment may be so d iKhllle.l tif
to make it virtually certain he never mil
be called.
