Establishment of five classes for the rezistrants, fixing relative liabiiity for =ervice, will make Thursdav's draw- ing of far less importnnce even'to the men directly concerned-than was: that of a yvear ago. The order in which a! registrant’s number-is drawn- Tuesday will determine only his place m -the ciass of which he will be nassigned, whereas the first drawing was to fix the registrants niace in the erder ot his call for service. Assignment of a registrant to class one -is practically certain to entail his early call to the colors if - he. is physically fit, and; if he is given de- ferred classification, his position in the other classes is -of little moment. Attaches of the -provost marshal general's staff probably- will be used ‘o draw the capsules as was the case last vear.

In opposing the ‘amendment. Chair- man Hurley declared thi no ‘time to conduct unnecessary for if the nation is to wring victory from the Huns it will have to fight hard and with all its resources. He sald he believed more risk would he involved in taking beer from the American workingman' than would be in the conscription of labor, because it would - result in a ‘“partial inter- ference ‘witw liberty- without any in- crease of control.” Postmaster General Burleson hrand- ed nation-wide prehibition agitation the work of faddlsts and said if such a step i necessary for the winninx of the war he would support it, althamugh he would hesitate a long time if he had any doubts on the subject.
