to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

FOREWORD.
The White House,
Washington.
The task of selecting and mobilizing the first contingent of the
National Army is nearing completion. The expedition and accuracy
of its accomplishment were a most gratifying demonstration of the
efficiency of our democratic institutions. The swiftness with which
the machinery for its execution had to be assembled, however, left
room for adjustment and improvement. New Emulations putting
these improvements into effect are, therefore, being published to-day.
There is no change in the essential obligation of men subject to
selection. The first draft must stand unaffected by the provisions
of the new Emulations. They can be given no retroactive effect.
The time has come for a more perfect organization of our man
power. The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclu-
sion. We must make a complete inventory of the quaUfications of
all registrants in order to determine, as to each man not already
selected for duty with the colors, the place in the miUtary, industrial
or agricultural ranks of the nation in which his experience and
training can best be made to serve the common good. This project
involves an inquiry by the Selection Boards into the domestic,
industrial and educational quahfications of nearly ten million men.
Members of these Boards have rendered a conspicuous service.
The work was done without regard to personal convenience and under
a pressure of immediate necessity which imposed great sacrifices.
Yet the services of men trained by the experience of the first draft
must of necessity be retained and the Selection Boards must provide
the directing mechanism for the new classification. The thing they
have done is of scarcely one-tenth the magnitude of the thing that
remains to be done. It is of great importance both to our military
and to our economic interests that the classification be carried swiftly
and accurately to a conclusion. An estimate of the time necessary
for the work leads to the conclusion that it can be accomplished in
sixty days; but only if this great marshalUng of our resources of men
is regarded by all as a national war undertaking of such significance
as to challenge the attention and compel the assistance of every
American.

I call upon all citizens, therefore to assist Local and District Boards
by proffering such service and such material conveniences as they
can offer and by appearing before the boards, either upon summons
or upon their own initiative, to give such information as will be
useful in classifying registrants. I urge men of the legal profession
to offer themselves as associate members of the Legal Advisory
Boards to be provided in each community for the pm-pose of advising
registrants of their rights and obligations and of assisting them in
the preparation of their answers to the questions which all men
subject to draft are required to submit. I ask the doctors of the
country to identify themselves with the Medical Advisory Boards
which are to be constituted in the various districts throughout the
United States for the purpose of making a systematic physical
examination cf the registrants. It is important also that police
officials of every grade and class should be informed of their duty
under the Selective Service Law and Regulations, to search for
persons who do not respond promptly and to serve the summons
of Local and District Boards. Newspapers can be of very great
assistance in giving wide publicity to the requii^ements of the Law
and Regulations and to the numbers and names of those who are
called to j^resent themselves to their Local Boards from day to day.
Finally, I ask that during the time hereafter to be specified as marking
the sixty day period of the classification, all citizens give attention
to the task in hand in order that the process may proceed to a con-
clusion with swiftness and yet with even and considerate justice to all.
WooDEOW Wilson.

Accordingly^ the President will consider appeals from

safeguard against unusual hardship has been provided.
Appeals made direct to Washington on ex parte state-

Due to the unavoidable congestion that must necessarily
follow this irregular method, such direct appeals can only
result in confusion and delay. Therefore appeals to the
President when not preferred in the manner prescribed
in sections 111 and 112 of these Regulations, must be re-
turned for compUance with those sections.

as their duty to identify themselves with the Advisory
Boards provided for in sections 44 and 45, and freely and
without compensation to give their best service to the
Nation. It is inconsistent with this duty for lawyers to
seek cUents for the purpose of urging and advocating indi-

Postmasters should exercise every effort to make delivery of letters
addressed by Local or District Exemption Boards to r^istrants under the
Selective Service Act and particularly the notices which those Boards
send to regbtrants calling them to places of entrainment. Serious con-
sequences ensue to a registrant who fails to respond to this latter call, as
the law classifies him as a deserter, and unless an explanation is made
he must be dealt wi th as such. It is therefore of the greatest importance
that postmasters see that such notices reach the addressees if possible.

PART IV.
CLASSIFICATION RULES AND PRINCIPLES.
Section 70. Reasons for and effect of classification.
The military needs of the Nation require that there hej^f^^^^^
provided in every community a list of names of men who nomio needs.
shall be ready to be called into service at any time. The
economic needs of the Nation, while deferring to the par-
amount military necessity, require that men whose re-
moval would interfere with the civic, family, industrial,
and agricultiu*al institutions of the Nation shall be taken
in the order in which they best can be spared. For this
reason the names of all men liable to selection shall be
arranged in five classes in the inverse order of their im-
portance to the econonuc interests of the Nation, which
include the maintenance of necessary industry and agri-
cultiu*e and the support of dependents.
The jCTOup of registrants within the jurisdiction of each
Local Board is taken as the unit to be classified. Within
each class the order of liability is determined by the draw- ciSi**?eterSSa5
ing, which has hitherto assigned to every man an order by towing; see
of availability for military service relative to all men not^*^ '
Permanently or temporarily exempted or discharged,
he effect of classification in Class 1 is to render every
man so classified presently liable to military service in the
order determined by the national drawing. The effect a^^jJJJ^^^**"^
of classification in Class II is to grant a temporary dis-
charge from draft, effective until Class I in the jurisdic-
tion of the same Local Board is exhausted. The effect of
classification in Class III is to grant a temporary dis-
chargefrom draft, effective until Classes I and II, m the
jurisdiction of the same Local Board are exhausted; and,
similarly. Class IV becomes liable only when Classes I, II,
and III are exhausted. The effect of classification in
Class V is to grant exemption or discharge from draft.
The term "deferred classification'' as used In these ^^j^^^*;®^
r^ulatlons Is equivalent to the term "temporary
discharge."
A. CLASSIFICATION IN RESPECT OF DEPEND-
ENCY.
Section 71. Essential principles governing classifi-
cation in respect of dependency.
Section 4 of the Selective Service Law exempts no per- ^dl^ *ciaS^
son from mihtary service on the ground of dependency, fiction.
It only authorizes the exclusion or discharge from draft

_£5^5;yL_upon them for support which renders their exclusion
or dischai^e advisaole." The present scheme is de-
signed, by the creation of several classes, arranged in
the order of their availabiUty for miUtary service, to defer
the induction into the Army of registrants upon whom
other persons are mainiy aependent for support until
persons without actual dependents have been called.
While an actual dependency must be established before
any kind of discharge can be eiunted, there are certain
conditions of dependency which it is advisable to recog-
nize to a fuUer extent than others. The present classifi-
cation is designed to aflford the maximum of protection
to dependent relatives consistent with the military neces-
sity of the Nation.

port." and sacrifice to all. No person has a right to refuse to
sacrifice luxuries. On the other hand, it is not the intent
of the law to deprive the dependents whom the law and
regulations are designed to protect of a reasonably
adequate support. No definite degree can be given to
the meaning of the term "reasonably adequate sup-
port'' as used in the classification rules and schedule.
The adjustment of these relations must be left to Local
Boards, who have abimdantly shown that they will
approach each case with sympathy and common sense,
and, while defending the interest of the Nation from self-
ish and thoughtless claimants on the one hand, wiU
afford the decent protection here designed for meritorious
claimants on the other.

ency.
FortT'bS' wS: RULE I. In determining whether a claimed
■idered. dependent Is "Mainly dependent on a 'regis-

registrant; except that, where the claimed de- e^«p<^
pendent is the wife or child of the registrant,
support by persons other than the registrant
shall NOT be considered.
If, considering such of these circumstances^^^^^gj^^J^
as the board is authorized to consider, or other seesec. 71.
circumstances not herein mentioned, the
board finds that the removal of the r^istrant
will deprive the claimed dependent of reason-
ably adequate support, the board may find that
the person claimed to be dependent is mainly
dependent upon the registrwit's labor for
support.
Note.— The attention of Local Boards is called to the necessity of
carefully scrutinizing all claims for deferred classification on the
ground of dependency, and the registrant's answers to his Question-
naire, and other proof in support of such claims, in order to ascertain
whether or not contributions claimed to be made by the registrant for
the support of dependents othef than his wife and children are, in whole
•r part, payment for his own board or subsistence j and in case of claimed
dependent parents, to ascertain what other children of such parents
have contriouted or ought to contribute or are under moral or legal
•bligation to contribute to such parents. In case of claimed incum-
brances on the property of a r^istrant or a dependent, boards should
carefully examine the proofs in order to ascertain whether or not the
incumbrance is of sucn a nature as that the payments on account
thereof are in whole or part payment of the purchase price; for
example, building and loan assoaation mortgages, monthly-payment
plan, etc.

C. CLASSIFICATION IN RESPECT OF ENGAGE-
MENT IN INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE.
Section 80. Essential principles governing classifl-^^J^ ^^
cation in respect of engagement in both indus-
try and agriculture.
To District Boards will be intrusted the solution of one
of the most vital problems of the war. Two thin^ are
to be accomplished — to raise armies, to maintain indus-
tries and agriculture. As the war proceeds more and
more men wiU be required for the battle line, and yet
there are certain industries that must be maintained to
the end. Any considerable diminution of man power
must interfere to some extent with industry. Since the
Army must be raised the diminution must be made, hence
it is self-evident that the problem is not absolutely to
prevent interference with industry, for that is impossible;
it is to reduce interference to a minimum. A balance
must be struck and maintained between the military and tJf^^l^^
the industrial needs of the Nation. The very statement tnai needs,
of the problem demonstrates most forcibly that in making
this economic balance it is the interest of the Nation
solely that must be subserved; that the interest of ^^^"^Jl^ ^^-
Indivlduals or associations of individuals can not to mmtary neo
be considered as such, and, indeed, can only benefit ^*^'
from the action of District Boards where the in-
dividual interest happens to coincide with the in-
terest of the Nation, and, furthermore, that the
success of the Nation's military operations is the
dominant object, to which the conservation of
certain industries is related as one means to that
end.
The military necessity being paramoimt, the task is to
foster all necessary industries equally, to the maximum
consistent with the miUtary necessity. To accomplish

e]anifi<»tFan. ^ In its relation to industry and agriculture the essential
principle of this classification is —
(1) To defer the calling of indispensable "key" and
''pivotal" men of agriculture and mdustry to the last.
'*pif& m?^-'^^^ *^ purpose Class IV was designed.
md e^rts; see (2) To defer the calling of highly specialized admin-
8M8.88,^. istrative and mechanicS experts and "key" and
''pivotal" men of a lower grade in both industry and
agricultiu-e, until the maximimi adjustment of labor sup-
ply contributory to industry and agriculture has been
exhausted by the demands of the Anny. For this pur-
pose Class III was designed.
We come next to consider the difficult problem of
making the maximum adjustment of the supply of labor
consistent with miUtary necessity.
Two controlling principles must always be kept in
mind:
kbwSS^* ^ ^^^ Industries, not necessary, can not bo pro-
tected at all, and, therefore, no deferred classinca-
tlon can be made on the ground of engagement In
Industry or agriculture not found to be necessary.
(6) At least 80 per cent of the total labor suppljr ap-
pinrtenant to any industry, including agriculture, is either
wholly removed from the operation of the draft by being
under or over the age hmit, or is deferred beyond Class II
by reason of dependency, alienage, or other grounds of
exemption or deferred classification.
■wScfsT. ^^^' -^y placiog the supply of skilled labor appurtenant to
necessary industry and agriculture in Class II we leave
(for the present, at least) available and unimpaired the
entire body of men who have fitted themselves for effec-
tive engagement in necessary industry and agriculture
and place in Class I only persons who are not so neces-
sary for home activities as they are for the battle lines.
■Jt^iS^^^" To carry this principle into the field of unskilled
labor and to place in Class II unskilled labor engaged in
necessary industries and agriculture would practicafly re-
sult in such serious inroads into the labor supply appurte-
nant to purely commercial, auxiUary, and other useful
enterprises as to upset the economic balance of the Nation.
For this reason unskilled labor can not be segre-
gated Into a deferred class.

to both Industry and agriculture.
te^riS'^'bD BULE XV. The words ^'persons engaged In

the board does not find that such enterprise is

amine the registrant's entries on the first page of the
Questionnaire and also the answers to the Questionnaire
and all other proof in the case, and shall proceed to clas-
sify the registrant in accordance with the following rules:
RULE XXVIL If the registrant has sub-^ ^vies^
mitted no Questionalre, or if neither the regis- except industry
trant nor any person in respect of him hasciawL '
claimed deferrea classification, or if the ONLY
claim for deferred classification, by or in
respect of him, is on the ground of his engage-
ment in Industry or agriculture he shall forth-
with be classified in Class I, unless he is an
alien enemy, or unless the Local Board deter-
mines to consider the case for deferred classl-

Note. — Local Boards will be held strictly responsible that no alien
enemy is placed in any class other than Class V . No alien (not an
Alien enemies ;alien enemy) who has not declared his intention to become a citizen
see sec. 79 (e). ^^ ^y^^ United States shall be placed in any class other than Class V
unless such nondeclarant has stated, in answer to Question No. 2, of
AUens; see sec. Series No. VII of his Questionnaire, that he does not claim exemption
^ ^' on the ground of his alienage.
Local Boards are especially enjoined to scrutinize carefuUy any
claim for exemption of a registrant on the ground of alienage, and,
before classifying an alleged alien in Class V, to satisfy themselves
beyond reasonable doubt, that the registrant claiming such exemption
* is not a citizen of the United States and has not declared his intention
to become a citizen.
When an alien has declared his intention to, become a citizen, re-
gardless of how long ago, he is still liable to draft, even though he has
not in the meantime applied for final papers.
^^^^^^sJ^^ts. Aliens who have declared their intention since June 5, 1917, are
subject to draft. Thousands of such declarations have been made.
In particular cases Local Boards can determine whether or not such
declaration has been made by inquiry of the Deputy Commissioner
of Naturalization, Washington, D. C, who will be glad to furnish the
information promptly.
RULE XXVIII. In every case in which It shall
appear from a registrant's answers to the
questions concerning his physical condition^
under Series II of questions in the Question-
naire, that he is permanently, and totally
physically disqualified for military service; and
in every case in which the Board shall receive
credible information that a registrant is suffer-
ing from some physical, mental, or nervous
disability which renders him permanently
totally disqualified for military service, the
Local Board may proceed at once, in a sum-
mary way, to satisfy itself concerning tLe
facts, either with or without physical exam-
ination; and after so doing, the Local Board
may, by unanimous vote of all three members,
place such registrant in Class V without refer-
ence to any other fact, if it decides, upon the
facts, that the registrant is totally and per-
manently disqualified.
RULE XXIX. In any case not involving a
claim for deferred classification on the ground
of engagement in industry or agriculture, if
the registrant, or any person in respect of him
claims deferred classiflcation, or if considera-
tion is determined upon by the board without
formal claim, the Local Board shall proceed to
consider the case for deferred classiflcation.
RULE XXX. If the case is one requiring
consideration for classification in Class Y, the
board shall proceed first to a consideration as
to that class. If the board decides to classify
the registrant in Class V, it need not proceed
to anv other classification, unless, after an
appeal by the Government Appeal Agent, the

reopen the case and reclassify it in accordance
witn these regulations, from which reclassifi-
cation the registrant, or any authorized person
in respect of him, may appeal in accordance
with the rules governing appeals generally.
RULE XXXI. If claim is made for deferred i^^i^^^^SI^
classification on more grounds than one (other -
than engagement in industry or agriculture),
the Local Board shall proceed to a decision on
each claim and make a classification as to each
claim and shall record its decision as to each
claim on the cover sheet (Form 1001-B) of the^e?*^'*^*'**
Questionnaire. The board shall then record
on the Classification List onlv the most de-
ferred classification. Thus, if the registrant
or other person presents proof which con-
vinces the Local Board that he should be classi-
fied in Class II on one ground and in Class IT
on some other ground, both classifications
shall be entered on the Cover Sheet of the Ques-
tionnaire, but only a record of classification ^^S^St^^
in Class IV will be entered on the Classification sec. 102.
List as prescribed in section 102.
RULE XXXII. If claim is made for deferred ^f^^^ fS*
classification on the ground of engagement o^^^on oc
in industry or agriculture (whether there be °*^**°*^
any other claim or not), the Local Board shall
in all cases indorse upon the Questionnaire,
in the place provided (page 16), its recom-
mendation as to the merits of such claim and
its findings as to any fact bearing on such
claim as it desires to have considered in support
of such recommendation.
RULE XXXIII. The Local Board shall, in g^J^^^*^ ^ "*•

There should be no departure from the prescribed JJfy^^^ «^*'^-
standards of height. Men of 64 inches in height and '—
over may be accepted when below the minimum weights Beiow iiroight,
specified above, provided the imderweight is due to
temporary causes and can, in the opinion of the medical
examiner, be reasonably explained. To be acceptable,
men below 64 inches in neight must be of good physique,

discovered by the hand and eye, but still better by the
index finger passed up to the external ring.

murs.
(3) Inspection of root of neck and upper thorax and
percussion of first interspace on each side of manubrium
for evidence of aneurism.
(4) Count of radial pulse, observation of its rhythm,
and palpation of radial arteries for unusual thickening
or high tension.

as to derdop whether or not the man examined is

wm^iSuSt' *** (^ Vision. — To determine the acuitv of vision, place
the person under examination with back to wiadow at a
distance of 20 feet from the test types. Examine each
eye separately, wlthont classes, covering the other
eye with a card (not with the hand). The applicant is
mrected to read the test types from the top of the chart
down as far as he can see, and his acuity of vision recorded
for each ej^e, with the distance of 20 feet as the numerator
of a fraction and the size of the type of the lowest line
he can read correctly as the denominator. If he reads the
20-feet type correctly, his vision is normal and recorded
20/20; if^ne does not read below the 30-feet type, the
vision is imperfect and recorded 20/30; it he reads the
15-feet type, the vision is imusually acute and recorded
20/16, etc.
Men may be accepted whose vision is 20/100 or better
in each eye, correctable by appropriate lenses to 20/40 or
better in at least one eye, provided no organic disease
exists in either eje.
Examine condition of pupils, their size, shape, and
motor reaction to light and to accommodation. Abnor-
malities should be considered with reference to disease erf
the nervous system as well as of the eye.

(j) HearlM.— To determine the acuity of hearing, jjJ^^J^
place the appucant facing away from the assistant, who
IS 20 feet distant, and direct him to repeat promptly theseJlU^ ^
w<N*ds spoken by the assistant. If he can not hear the
words at 20 feet the assistant rhonld approach foot by
foot, using the same voice, until the words are repeated
correctly. Examine each ear separately, closing the
ot^er ear by pressing the titigus firmly against the
meatus. The examiner, whose hearing shoxild oe normal,
faces in the same direction as the candidate and closes
one of his own ears in the same way as a control. The
assistant should use a low conversational voice (not a
whisper), just plainly audible to the examiner, and
should use numerals, names of places, or other words or
s^it^ices until the condition of the appUcant's hearing
is evident. The acuitv of hearing is expressed in a frac-
tic»i the numerator of which is the distance in feet at
which the words are heard by the candidate and the de-
nominator the distance in feet at which the words are
heard by the normal ear; thus 20/20 records normal
hearing, 10/20 imperfect hearing, etc. If any doubt
should exist as to the coirectness of the answers giv^i,
the candidate should be blindfolded jmd a watch ^ould
be used, care bein^ taken that the individual does not
know the distance From the ear at which it is being held;
the watch used should be one whose ticking strength has
been tested by trial oh a normal ear. The hearing with
both ears open should not be bdow 10/20.
Section 184. Causes for rejection.
The following defects are causes for rejection:
(a) Mental and nervous.— Lack of normal under- gJ'^J^^Jif*
standing; insanity; epilepsy; tabes; chorea; organic
nervous diseases.
(6) Skin. — Chronic, conta^ous, and parasitic dis- gJ^fl^^^^^J"^
eases, when severe ana extensive; chronic ulcers, deep or
extensive.
(c) Head. — ^Abrupt depression in skull, the conse- g^^fl^^j^^^'^J"^
quence of old fracture.
id) Spine.— Oaries and abscess. Curvature (postural sJ^^^mfJt.^
kyphosis and scoKosis) is cause for rejection only when
it IS sufficient to interfere with function, or to constitute
maiked deformity when in uniform.
(e) Ears. — ^Any chronic discharge from the middle ^J^J^^*^^"^
ear. Perforation of the tympanic membrane in a dry
ear is not disqualifying, provided hearing is 10/20 or
better.
(f) Eyes^ — Acuity of vision below the requirements of
Section 183, (i); serious chronic conjunctival affections, g^^^*^*^®"-*
including trachoma; entropion; permanent and well-
marked strabismus; serious diseases of the lachrymal
apparatus; exophthalmos; nystagmus.
\g) Mouthy nose, and fauces. — Deformities intcrfer- sef s^l^Va**'
ing with mastication or speech; chronic ulcerations;

j^^fjJJJ«^***™"&sures or perforations of the hard palate; loss of voice or
-^— manifest alteration of it; chronic ofc traction of both nos-
trils, or foul discharges. Nasal polypi are not a bar to ac-
ceptance for mihtarv service. Hypertrophied tonsils are
not disqualifying; but if the hypertrophy is sufficiently
marked to interfere with respiration or phonation, tihe
registrant shall be advised to* have the lai^e tonsils re-
moved immediately, pending receipt of orders to report
for duty. '
(A) iNeck. — Exophthahnic goiter; pronoimced simple
^iSc"^(a)"' S^^^^'. ^^^^ sufficient to interfere with the wearing of
Qie military collar ,-'> ulcerations or great enlargement of
the cervical glands.
(i) Lungs. — Disease of lungs. A history of pulmo-
^^|]^^at*o"J nary tuberculosis should be t«Xen into consideration in
connection with the physical examination of the lungs,
but undue weight should not -be given to statements not
supported by physical signs.
(7) Heart* — In examining the heart care must be taken
^eli^ofisaVe)^"' not to ascribe to disease the hurried, sharply accentuated
action sometimes due to nervousness, fnght, or embar-
rassment, or the irregular action caused by the excessive
use of tobacco. Ordinarily no murmur should be de-
clared organic unless secondary physical signs, such as
cardiac emargement, edema, 'cyanosis, etc., can be demon-
strated.
Causes for disquaUfication are: Marked enlargement
of the heart; definite organic valvular disease as indi-
cated by secondary signs or symptoms in addition to
murmurs; aneurism in every situation; complete irregu-
larity, but not dropped or premature beats; marked
high blood pressure, over 200 mm. systoUc or 120 mm.
diastoKc. Definite symptoms of circulatory failure, such
as breathlessness, marked cyanosis, or edema.
(fc) Abdomen. — Chronic inflammations of the gastro-
intestinal tract, including chronic diarrhea and dysentery
and other serious ^seases of the abdominal oi^ans.
Great care should be exercised before exempting for these^
conditions. A history of appendicitis without present
symptoms is not a cause of rejection. Hernia in any
location disqualifies.
sK^seeTsa (d)^^' (^) Anus. — Hemorrhoids of a pronoimced type, pro-
lapsus, fistula, fissures if of a disabling character.
Examination; (m) Genlto-urluary OFgans. — ^Tight urethral stric-
«» sec. 183 (c). ^.^^ . undescended testicle if located in the inguinal canal ;
marked hydrocele. Chronic disease of the oladder and
kidneys, if confirmed by laboratory tests. Varicocele
does not constitute a cause for rejection unless it is so
la^e as to interefere with locomotion.
SyphiUs is a cause for rejection only when permanently
incapacitating. SyphiHs in the primary and secondary
stages, that is, dunng the infectious period, chancroia,
and gonorrhea, acute and chronic, are not disqualifying,
but individuals so affected should be advised immediate^''

The fact that registrants have been found to be
afflicted with the above-mentioned venereal diseases
should ibe noted on the papers that are sent with them
when they report for duty.
(n) Affections common to both extremities. —
Chronic rheumatism and disabhng diseases of the joints:
irreducible dislocation or false joints; old dislocations ii
attended with marked impairment of motion or distor-
tion of the joint; chrome synovitis; caries; necrosis;
atrophy or paralysis; badly united fractures; extensive
or adherent scarsr and permanent contraction of muscles,
when sufficient to cause marked disabiUty.
(o) Hands. — Webbed fingers of right hand if disa-gJ^^J^^^{J**^*
bling; permanent flexion, extension, or loss of motion of
one or more fingers; loss or serious mutilation of either
thumb; total loss of index finger of the right hand; total
loss of any two fingers of the same hand, or loss of the
second and third phalanges of all the fingers of either
hand.
{p) Lower extremities. — Pronoimced varicose veins, gJ^^"}g*y®'»J
especially when attended with edema or marks of ulcera-
tion: pronounced knodi-knees; clubfeet; well-marked
flat jteet, especially if attended with subjective symptoms;
lai^ and painful bunions; overriding or marked displace-
ment or drformity of any of the toes. Hammer-toe is
cause for rejection if it is well marked and interferes with
the wearing of ordinary shoes.
The shin bone, if rough, nodulated, and tender, sug-
gests syphilis.
A broad, flat sole is conunon in laboring classes, par-
ticularly among n^roes, and is in no way disabling. In
the flat foot "vraich renders a man unfit for service the
arch is so far gone that the entire border rests upon the
ground, with the inner ankle lowered and very prominent
and the foot apparently pushed outward.
Section 185. Dental requirements.
The person must have at least eight serviceable ^§52^"* ^^
natural masticating teeth, either bicuspids or molars,
four above and four below opposing, and six serviceable
natural incisors or canines, three above and three below

neoW^^' ^^ Inspectors appointed by the Governor as provided in
section 3 1 (c) may be paid $5 per dayf or each cay actually
engaged in such duties.
Section 193. Gratuitous services.
The duty of members of District and Local Boards and
other persons appointed to perform duties in the execu-
tion of the Selective Service Law is patriotic service of
so high and important a character that a great majority
of those acting m this capacity have felt that they should
render it gratuitously. The Govermnent desires to ac-
cept such gratuitous service wherever it can be rendered
without great hardship to the individual. There are
citizens whose servix^es the country needs in this ca-
Eacity but who can not without disproportionate loss and
ardship longer absent themselves from their private
business without compensation. The services of these
men can not be spared by the Grovemment at this time.

for their services, the Government will gratefully accept
their patriotic tender, but members of such boards whose
circumstances are such that they can not do so should
submit vouchers at the rates hereinafter prescribed.
Section 194. District Boards. Compensation.
Members of District Boards may be paid a componsa- gee sec^si****"^
tion of $1.25 per hour for each hour that they are actu-
ally present at the office of the board and wholly en-
gagea in the duties prescribed by these regulations for
members of District Boards/ and also for each hour they
are actually traveling and are actually engaged in the
duties prescribed by these regulations, in no case to ex-

where acceptable gratuitous service can not be obtained,
and where, in accordance with section 42 the compen-

business firm as entered at the head of an account must
be literally alike.
Section 235. Rules for computation of time.
When appUcable, the following rules for the computa-
tion of time in payment for services will be observed :
Monthly rate. YoT any full Calendar month's service, at a stipulated
monthly rate of compensation, pavment will be made at
such stipulated rate without regard, to the number of days
in that month.
When service coromences on an intermediate day of the
month, 30 days wiU be assumed as the length of the
month, whatever be the number of days therein.
When the service terminated on an intermediate day of
the month, the actual number of days during which serv-
ice was rendered in that calendar month win be allowed.
When the service embraces two or more months or
parts of months, but one fraction will be made, thus:
From September 21 to November 25, inclusive, will be
calculated — September 21 to October 20, inclusive, one
month; from October 21 to November 20, inclusive, one
month; from November 21 to 25, inclusive, 5 days, mak-
ing the time allowed 2 months and 5 days.
When two fractions of months occur and both are less
than a whole month, as from August 21 to September 10,
the time will be determined thus: August 21 to 30,
inclusive (ignoring the 31st), 10 days; from September 1
to 10, inclusive, 10 days, making the time allowed 20
days.
Services commencing itx February will be calculated as
though the month contained 30 days, thus: From Feb-
ruary 21 to 28 (or 29), inclusive, 10 days. When the
sei-vice commences on the 28th of that month 3 days
will be allowed, and if on the 29th 2 days.
If service commences on the 31st day of the month,
payment will not be made for that day.
tJnauthorized absence on the 31st day of a month
results in the loss of one day's pay.

sea-

Forservices of persons employed at a per diem rate, and re^tioM*™*"*
in paying for rent, payment will be made for the actual p^^.^^'^ ^
number of days during which service actually was ren- *' ®™™ •
dered or the premises occupied. When services are ren-
dered from one given date to another, the account will
state clearly whether both dates are included.
In computing the wages of persons employed at a per
diem rate, the day on which service begins and the day
on which it ends will be allowed in the computation.
G. ACCOUNTS CURRENT.
Section 236. Original vouchers to accompany ac-
counts current.
The State disbursing officer will forward to the Provost
Marshal General, Washington, D. C, for transmission to
the Auditor for the War Department, with his accoimt
current at the close of business for the preceding month,
the original vouchers in support of the accoimt current
and win retain the memorandum for his files.
Original vouchers will, if possible, accompany the g^^^^|{|'»
account current; if subsequently forwarded, suitable
explanation will be made; copies .will not be accepted
unless duly certified and accompanied by satisfactory
evidence of the loss or destruction of the originals.
Section 237. Time of rendition.
Every disbursing officer and agent must send, by in-
dorsement, to the Provost Marshal General, Wa^shington,
D. C, within 10 days following the end of the month to
which it relates, an account current of all money received,
expended, and remaining on hand during the month.
The actual date of forwarding the accoimt should be
stated in the indorsement in order that tlue officials of the
Treasuiy Department may satisfy themselves whether the
requirements of law have been complied with. The
establishment of 10 days as the period allowed to an
officer to prepare and forward his accounts is a statutory
provision, the purpose of which is to secure the prompt
rendition of accounts of disbursing officers and agents,
and to forbid the advancing of money to those officers
and agents who are delinquent in forwarding accounts.
Any irregularities in the mail service or want of blank
forms will not excuse a failure to comply with the
statutory provision.
Section 238. Transactions to be shown.
All transactions coming within the time covered by an
account current shall be reported therein. No payments
or collections not actually made during the period of an
account shall be indicated therein. When a fraction of
a cent less than one-half occurs in the footing of a voucher
it will be disregarded. If the fraction be one-half or
greater, it will be reckoned as a cent.

required to answer, and sign his name where required by the instructions.
He shall make no mark upon page 1, nor answer nor sign the question and waiver on page 1 , until he has
answered the twelve series of questions; but after having done so, and before he executes his affidavit at the
end, he shall answer the question at the bottom of page 1 , and sign his name thereto. If he wishes to waive
such claim for exemption or deferred classification, he shall sign the waiver at the bottom of page 1.
He shall then, upon the first page of the Questionnaire, place across mark (X) in the space opposite the
description of his status In relation to every person, matter, thing, and circumstance which constitutes the
Sound or basis for exemption or discharge. The registrant is not limited to making one cross mark (X)
dicating his status as to exemption or deferred classification, but may make a sufficient number of marka
to indicate his status in relation to every ground for exemption or deferred classification wMch exists in hia
case.
He shall then swear. or affirm to the truth of his answers by executing the "Registrant's Affidavit" at
the end (page 15).
The Questionnaire contains twelve series of questions.
Every registrant must answer all the ^'General Questions'' under Series I, and questions as to hia
<* physical fitness" under Series II, and so many more of the questions under Series II as, under the specific
bistructions relating to Series II, may be applicable to his case. He must then answer the first question
of each of the other series from Series III to Series XII, inclusive. His answer to the fii^t question of each
of said series shall be either "Yes" or " No," as the fact may be. His answer to the first question in each of
Series III to XII, inclusive, will determine (as indicated by the specific instructions as to each separate
series of questions) whether or not he need answer any or all of the remaining questions of said series.
Supporting affidavits of other persons must be secured by every registrant who claims exemption or
deferred classification in the following classes of cases: Divinity students (Series V); persons havingdepend-
ent relatives (Series X); persons necessarilv engaged in essential industrial enterprises (Series XI); and
persons engaged in essential agricultural enterprises ( Series XH). Upon failure to secure such supporting
affidavits, his claim will not be considered either by the Local Board or the District Board.
The Questionnaire, answered and sworn to in strict accordance with these rules and regulations, must
be filed with the Lfocal Board on or before the seventh day (excluding Sundays and legal nolidays) after
the date upon the first page of the Questionnaire.
The term *' deferred class" includes the second, third, fourth, and fifth classes of the five classes into
which registrants shall be placed. All re^strants placed in Class V have been exempted or discharged,
and all registrants placed in Classes II, III, and IV have been temporarily discharged; all classifications
being conditioned upon the continuing existence of the status of the registrant which is the basis of hii
lassification.

Section 70. Reasons for and effect of classification. * * *
* * * * 4c « 4,
The group of registrants within the jurisdiction of each local board is taken as the unit to be classified.
Within each class the order of liabilitj is determined by the drawing, which has hitherto assigned to every
man an order of availability for military service relative to all men not permanently or temporarily ex-
empted or discharged. The effect of classification in Class I is to render every man so classified presentiy
liable to military service in the order determined by the national drawing. The effect of classification in
Class II is to erant a temporary discharge from draft, effective until Class! in the jurisdiction of the same
Local Board is exhausted. The effect of classification in Class HI is to grant a temporary discharge from draft
effective until Classes I and II in the jurisdiction of the same local board are exhausted; and. similarly.
Class IV becomes liable only when Classes I, II, and III are exhausted. The effect of classification in Class
V is to grant exemption or discharge from draft. The term **def erred classification" as used in these
tegrulations Is equivalent to the term ''temporary discharge."

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO REGISTRANTS.
Any person desiring to claim a deferred classification by either Local or District Board on any
nound in respect of any registrant designated herein may, ¥rtthin seven diurs from the date
hereof, and not later, submit such claim to this Local Board, accompanied by such affidavit
evidence as such person may desire to have considered.
Such claims, either by a registrant or by another in respect of any registrant, may be submitted either
by entering the same in the place provided on the first sheet of the re^trant's questioimaire or by sub-
mitting such claim to this board on a duplicate of such first sheet ( Form 1001-^A). If it is desired to submit
affida^t evidence in support of such claim and in addition to the evidence contained in the registrant's
questionnaire, such affidavits must be pr^ parfd on paper of the same size as the questionnaire, and should
be responsive to the questions asked the registrant respecting the ground of such claim in tne pertinent
division of th e questionnaire.
Section 7 of the Selective Service Regulations provides:
The process of examination and selection of registrants, under these rules and regulations, shall begin
by the posting of notice in the offices of the Local Boards on Form 1002, and by mailing a questionmure
(Form 1001) to every registrant included vithin such posted notice, as TO>ovlded in section 92 hereof; and
notice of every subsequent action taken by either the Local or Dismct Board in respect of each registrant
shall be given a minute or date of such action on the classification list (Form 1000) in the office of the Local
Board, and in addition to such entries, by mailing to the registrant, and in some cases to other claimants,
a notice of such action.
Whenever a duty is to be performed or a period of time begins to run within which any duty is to be
performed by any such registrant, or within which any right or privilege may be claimed or exercised by
or in respect of any such registrant, a notice of the day upon which such duty is to be perfc^med, or such
time be^ns to run, shall be mailed to the registrant, and the date of such mailing of notice shall be entered
opposite the name of such registrant on the classification list (Form 1000), which is always open to inspec-
tion by the public at the office of the Local Board. In addition to the mailing of such notice to registrants,
notice of the disposition of claims made by other persons in respect of registrants shall be mailed to such
other persons. Either the mailine of such notice or the entry of any such date in the classifica-
tion ust shall constitute the giving of notice to the registrant and to all concerned, and shall
charge the registrant and all concerned with notice of the day upon which such duty is to be
performed, or the beginning of the running of the time within which such duty must be per-
formed or such right or privilege may be claimed, regardless of whether or not a mailed notice
or questionnaire is actually received by the registrant or other person.
Failure by any registrant to perfwrn any duty prescribed by the Selective Service Law or by these Rules
and Regulations, at or within the time required, is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of one
year, and may result in loss of valuable rights and immediate induction of such registrant into military
service.
Failure of the registrant or any other person concerned to claim and exercise any rieht or privilege on the
day or within the time authorized by these Rules and Regulations shall be considered a waiver of such right
or privilege, and shall foreclose such person from thereafter claiming the same, subject only to the privil^e
granted by these Rules and Regulations to apply for an extension of time.
All registrants and other persons are required and strictly enjoined to examine from time to time said
notice (Fcnrm 1002), so posted by the Local Board, and the classification list (Form 1000) upon which said
dates are to be entered, in order to be informed of the time for the performance ol any duty or the exercise
of any right or privilege; and it is the duty of every registrant concerning whom any notice is posted, but
who for some reason has not receded the questionnaire or notice, as the case may be, to apply to his Local
Board for a copy thereof. Failure to receive notice or questionnaire will not excuse the registrant from
performing any duty within the time limit, nor shall it be in itself ground for extension of time.

Section 302. Notice to Men Ordered to Report for Military
Duty.
[To be inclosed with each order into military service (Form 1028) sent to a selected man.]
Important Notice to all Men Selected for Military Service and Ordered to
Report to a Local Board for Military Duty.
The day and hour specified on the Classification List of this Local Board, and on
the order and notice of induction into military service which accompanies this notice
for you to report to this Local Board for military duty, is the time that marks your
actual obligation as a soldier of the United States.
Failure to report promptly at the hour and on the day named is a grave military
offense, for which you may be court-martialed. Willful failure to report, with an
intent to evade military service, constitutes desertion from the Army of the United
States, which in time of war is a capital offense.
Upon reporting to your Local Board, you will not need, and you should not bring
with you, anythmg except hand baggi^. You will not be permitted to take trunls
or boxes with you on the train. You should take only the following articles: A pair of
strong, comfortable shoes to relieve your feet from your new regulation marching
shoes; not to exceed four extra suits of underclothing; not to exceed six extra pairs of
socks; four face and two bath towels; a comb, a brush, a toothbrush, soap, tooth
powder, razor, and shaving soap. It will add to your comfort to bring one woolen
blanket, preferably of dark or neutral color. This blanket should be tightly rolled,
the ends of the roll should be securely bound together, and the loop of the blanket
thus formed slung from your left shoulder to your right hip.
You should wear rough, strong clothing and a flannel shirt, preferably an olive-drab
shirt of the kind issued to soldiers.
Note. — Local Boards may have prepared, in the form of a rubber stamp, and stamp
in below or on the back hereof any special instructions, such as a direction to request
permission to eat and spend the last night at home, as it may desire to give.

PART XI.
MASTER LIST.
A drawing of numbers from 1 to 10,500, both inclusive, was made
in Washington under the direction of the Secretary of War and in
accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the President.
A schedule or master list was prepared by the Provost Marshal
General containing aU of such numbers from 1 to 10,500, both inclu-
sive, placed in the exact order in which they were drawn.
The first number drawn was placed at the top of column 1 of the
master list, the second number drawn was placed next below in such
master hst, and this order was followed imtil aU the numbers drawn
were so placed in such master list in the exact order in which they
were drawn.
The master hst controls and determines the exact order in which
the persons whose registration cards are in the possession of the
respective Local Boards or may hereafter be received by said Local
Boards are Uable to be called by the Local Board for military service.
Immediately upon receipt of these regulations place a check
mark (^Z) after every number in the master list which at the present
time appears in the *' Serial number^' column on Form 102. When
additional registration cards, or registration cards which have been
improperly, erroneously, or illegibly serially numbered have been
given serial numbers as provided in section 67, the Local Board shall
determine the proper oraer number for any such card as provided in
section 69, and shall place a check mark (v^) after every such serial
number in the master list.
To read the master Hst begin with the first number at the top of
colimin 1 and continue downward across two pages of these regu-
lations until the bottom of column 1 has been reached; then start at
the top of column 2 and proceed as directed in column 1. Follow
this rule on completing the reading of each column until the^nd of
column 110 is reached! The columns of the master list have been
numbered in consecutive order from 1 to 110, both inclusive.
