In the near future a date will he set by Brigadier General Crowder, provost marsliul general, for tlu meeting and organization of the bourns. At the same time u s expected that the selection regulations will be promulgated, so this process may be put under way without delay. The present Intention is to cull the men selected to the colors about September 1, or as soon thereafter as the cantonments to house them cun be completed. Impartialty Demanded. In ft statement accompanying the announcement of the regulations the president called upon the boards to do their whrk fearlessly and Impartially and to remember that "our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained from men free from any sense of Injustice in their mode of selection. The statement follows : The regulations which I am today causing to be promulgated, pursuant to the direction of the selective service law, cover the remaining steps of the plun for calling Into the service of the United States qualified men from those n. boilies -n reglsieied ; those selected as the lcsult of this process to constitute, with the regular army, the national guard and the nuvy, the fighting forces of the nation, all of which forces are under the terms of the law placed in a position of equal right, dignity and respectability with the members of all other military forces. The regulations have been drawn with a view to the ntW.s and circumstances of the whole country and provide it system, which It Is expected will work with the least Inequality and personal hardship. Any system of selecting men fop military service, whether voluntary of involuntary In Its operations, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice for the' whole nation. The system here provided places all men of military age upon nn even plane and then, by a selection which neither favors the one nor penalizes the other, calls out the requisite number for ser- i i wmi-u-bl- e woll-recopn'z- i the dependents yr third purtles being authorized to file claims with supporting, affidavits. In each case the board must be satisfied before it grunts exemption or discharge that the dependent or dependents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of tl mans mental or physical labor. Local boards are required, subjiHt to appeal, to pass upon claims for ex emption or discharge within tine days after the filing of affidavits District boards must decide appeu! cases within five days fffter the closing of proofs and their decisions nr final.
