SECOND ARMY TO
HAVE THOSE WHO
I ARE MARRIED MEN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — The|
new draft regulations will not apply
to men now in the cantonments. rlhe
regulations apply only to canditdatcs
for the second selective service army
soon to be raised.
••The men who have been selected
are selected,” said Colonel Gullion ol
the provost marchal general’s oflice.
“Tlu y are members of the first selec- j
tive service army. These new regu* I
lutions have nothing to do with them..
It makes no dilference if some of them
would have escaped under the new ,
regulations. These matters can not;
be lit it :ite<l forever. Therefore the,
n regulations will not be applied to
old caocs.”
“1 predict,” said Colonel (iullion,:
“tha then will be a.good many mar-i
ried m n in the second army. It lias,
been - gg *stod that the first classi
fication will number two million men,
ami that the army will be mostly re
cruited from class one. Even if this
were true, there arc married men in.
class one. The married man who does
not actually support his family is
subject to draft. A married man de
pendent on his wife is among those
to be first called on. Married men not
usefully engaged, but living on in
comes acquired independently of la
bor, also are in class one.
“Class two begins to take in mar
ried men very quickly. It includes
cases in which the wife or (mildren
are not mainly dependent on the
man’s labor for support, because of
other sources outside of the wife’s
earning power; also the man whose
wife earns nearly as much as he, by
special work she would have have a
prospect of continuing if the husband
left her. In other words, the husband
of a business woman earning a good
income, is in class two and likely to
be called.
“Only when a man has a wife or
children mainly dependent on his la
bor for support does he get into cless
four, from conscription.”
