New Law Affects
All Registrants
Portland, Ore., Nor. 22. Let
every man who is registered under
the selective service law, and that
includes all between the ages of 21
and 30 years, inclusive, pay careful
heed to the changes that have been
ordered by. the government in the
method of selecting men for military
service. The new plan goes into ef
fect on December 15, but on' Decem
ber 1 preparations for putting it into
effect will begin all over the United
States, At that time all exemptions
or discharges from military service
under the draft will automatically be
canceled. ,., - :-:,
The basic principle of the new sys
tern is that those men are to be taken
first who have no persons dependent
on them. Under this "classification
come single men, married men whose
wives support them married men
who have habitually failed to support
their families, or whose families are
Independent of them for support.
Men in this class will be subject to
call first. They will be listed under
what will be known as Class I.
The married men and those with
persons other than their wives or
children immediately dependent on
them for support, as well as those
whose work is necessary to industries
essential to the war, including agrl
culturei, will be listed in other class
es. There will be five classes In all.
The effect of classification in classes
below Class I will be to grant a tem
porary discharge from the draft, for
men in these classes will not be called
until the class or classes above theirs
has been exhausted.
A questionnaire will be mailed by
the local board to each j registered
man, directed to the address on his
registration card or as that address
may be changed by- notice of change
of address filed therewith, within the
next two or three weeks. He will
have seven days in which to make
the required answers and return the
questionnaire to the board. Failure
to answer will automatically cancel
his rights to exemption and will put
him in Class t. In order fully to pro
tect the rights of every registered
man and to help him make out his
questionnaire, lawyers will he at the
headquarters of the board to advise
and assist him without charge. You
will get your questionnaire soon.
Watch for It.

"The wai. with all Its changing ef

by at last, and new problems will con

I would ask you not to forget or ig
nore in planning for your soldiers'
Christmas,' no, nor in spending yourj
own Christmas here at home; some I
gift and salutation for the spirit, and
some generous spending of our own
spirits, some giving, on our own part,
of the very things our men have
many of them given, forour sakes,
and so generously.
"Always I take a look each year at
the unchanging Christmas stars; the
same through so many, many chang
ing ages, shining like symbols of the
lovely things of the spirit that en
dure; but it seems to me they will
mean more to me this Christmas than
ever they have meant before, when
I shall remember-- as how, Indeed,
could - we forget? the thousands
upon, thousands of soldiers who un
der what changed and changing con
ditions are maintaining the old and
lovely things that endure, and who
are perhaps looking up at the Christ
mas''' stars, also.")
