M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare League, may make claims as being engaged in occupations or employments under sections 80 to 89, inclusive, and such claims must be supported by affidavits as provided in respect of industrial claims in the questionnaire. Note 2.-See Form 1001E, section 268A (p. 208).

Note 3. Many registrants are engaged in industries, occupations, and employments, including agriculture, in places beyond the territorial limits of the United States which are as necessary, within the meaning of the law and regulations, as those within the United States; and it is immaterial whether or not a registrant, by or in whose behalf deferred classification is claimed on such grounds, is employed within or without the United States. Therefore, any registrant, whether he registered before going abroad or voluntarily registered while abroad, may be placed in a deferred class on the ground that he is necessary to a necessary industry, occupation, or employment, including agriculture, equally with a registrant who is so engaged within the United States.

A. THE QUESTIONNAIRE.

Section 90. Preparing classification list.

The names of registrants within the jurisdiction of each Local Board have heretofore been or will hereafter be entered on a list (Form 102 or 102-a, secs. 350, 351, and 352, pp. 310, 311, and 312) in the order of their liability to be called to determine their availability for military service. This list shall be transferred to the Classification List (Form 1000, sec. 267, p. 187), the pages of which shall be numbered from 1 upward. In transferring names from Form 102 or 102-a to Form 1000 the address of the registrant shall be omitted, his name shall be entered in column 2, his serial number in column 4, his order number in column 1 and column 30, and the proper abbreviation indicating his race in column 3.

When names are to be added to the Classification List, either because of late registration (section 54), or because of change of status (sections 119A, 120), or because such names have been omitted or stricken off by reason of error or mistake, such names shall be added to the bottom of the Classification List, following the names of persons already entered thereon. The proper serial and order number, as soon as assigned, shall be entered opposite the name of each such person in the proper columns. In the left-hand margin of the body of the Classification List, opposite the line in which the registrants order number would have placed his name had there been room to insert it, shall be written the red ink letter "R" followed by the number of the page of the Classification List on which his name

appears.

Section 91. The Questionnaire.

(a) The Questionnaire (Form 1001, sec. 268, p. 188) shall consist primarily of a number of questions, divided into 12 series of questions (addressed to and to be answered under oath by every registrant), designed for the purpose of ascertaining the status of every regis

trant in relation to the various matters, things, and circumstances constituting ground for exemption of deferred classification. The Questionnaire shall also contain, as an integral part thereof, affidavits in support of claims for exemption or deferred classification in certain cases hereinafter specified. It shall also contain particular and specific regulations and instructions to registrants concerning each series of questions and the procuring and filing of certificates and affidavits in certain cases. On the first page of the Questionnaire there shall be printed a notification and instruction requiring the registrant (whose name, together with the date of notice, shall be inserted) to fill out and return the Questionnaire in accordance with the regulations. (See sec. 268.)

(b) The first page of the Questionnaire shall also contain a place for the registrant or other person to claim exemption or deferred classification and a place for a waiver by the registrant or other person of such claim.

(c) The answers and affidavits must be signed and sworn to in strict accordance with these regulations, and in strict conformity with the particular rules and instructions relating to the several series of questions in the Questionnaire itself.

Section 92. Mailing the Questionnaire and posting notice.

Beginning on a day and within a period of time to be designated by the Provost Marshal General, each Local Board shall send to the last known address of each registrant whose name appears on the Classification List, a Questionnaire. Before mailing any such Questionnaire, the name, address, telephone number (where procurable), serial number, order number, and the stamp of the Local Board shall be entered on the first page of the Questionnaire and on the Cover Sheet (Form 1001-B, sec. 270, p. 212) of the Questionnaire. The date of mailing shall then be entered on the first page of the Questionnaire, on the Cover Sheet (see sec. 270) of the Questionnaire, and in column 5 of the Classification List opposite the name of the registrant to whom the Questionnaire is mailed. The notice to the registrant on the first page of the Questionnaire shall then be signed by a member of the Local Board, and the Questionnaire shall be mailed and the Cover Sheet inserted in the files of the Local Board in its alphabetical order.

Immediately upon the mailing of the Questionnaires the Local Board shall each day post in its office, accessible to the public view, a notice (Form 1002, sec. 272, p. 216) requiring registrants to whom Questionnaires have been mailed to file their return within seven days after the date of posting of such notice, and advising the public that thereafter the Classification Lists of the Local Board will be open for public inspection, and shall furnish to the press, with a request for publication, a copy of such notice (Form 1002, p. 216).

In mailing Questionnaires and posting notices on Form 1002 as herein provided, Local Boards shall proceed according to the order number of such registrants, or in accordance with instructions of the Provost Marshal General.

Immediately upon completion of the mailing of the Questionnaires and the posting of the notice in respect of registrants within its jurisdiction in accordance with the instructions of the Provost Marshal

General, the Local Board shall report such fact to the Adjutant General of the State by mail.

Note 1.-Registrants who change their places of abode and post-office addresses must communicate the same to the Local Boards with which they are registered. Since registrants are bound by law to keep themselves advised of all proceedings in respect to themselves, failure so to do may result in their losing rights to claim exemption or discharge or in subjecting them to penalties. (Telegram 10948, Nov. 29, 1917.)

Section 93. Notice to registrants and to all interested persons and effect of such notice.

The posting, at the time of the mailing of a Questionnaire, of the notice by a Local Board prescribed in section 92 shall constitute full notice to all concerned that the process of examination and selection has begun in respect of any registrant whose order number is included in such notice. (See secs. 6 and 7.)

Section 94. Claiming deferred classification.

A claim of deferred classification shall be made by a registrant by placing a cross mark (X) on the first page of the Questionnaire, in the space opposite the division that states the ground of claim and by specifically claiming such deferred classification by his answer to the question at the bottom of such first page. Claims for deferred classification in respect of a registrant by another person (see secs. 97, 98) shall be made in the same manner, either on the first page of the registrant's Questionnaire or by submitting to the Local Board a specific claim on a duplicate of such first page (Form 1001-A, sec. 269, p. 210, within seven days after the mailing of the Questionnaire to the registrant, as provided in section 92 hereof unless the time is extended. Claims of deferred classification must be made before the Local Board, regardless of whether the claim is to be decided by the Local or District Board. Local Boards shall enter, in column 7 of the Classification List, the date of filing of a claim for deferred classification by another person in respect of a registrant.

Note 1.-See Form 1001E, section 268A (p. 208).

Section 95. Manner and form of answers to Questionnaires, affidavits, and other proof.

The answering, making, executing, and filing of the Questionnaire (see sec. 91) and affidavits (not only the concurring and supporting affidavits printed in the Questionnaire, but also the additional affidavits voluntarily filed by the registrant or claimant, or required by the Local or District Board) shall be in strict conformity with the following:

(a) None of the printed portions of any of the questions shall be struck out or erased.

(b) If the registrant can not read, and the questions are read to him and filled out by some other person, all said questions and his answers thereto shall be read over to him by the officer who admin
