and has enabled us to feel that a pace has been set by which we can justly estimate the progress of other boards. The exact and systematic methods which have been employed in your District Boards are much appreciated. In this stage of our military operations, when so much depends upon inducting new men promptly into the army and allotting them to their appropriate places, every day's speed gained by the selective service boards in dispatching their work means a day gained in the operations of the army and a speedier termination of the war." Letter of March 13, 1918: "This office is keenly appreciative of the personal interest taken by you in this work and desires to thank you for this further evidence of your efficient administration of the selective service act in the state of Wisconsin."

Letter of March 20, 1918: "Efforts have been made to have the various states undertake this work (central purchase of supplies) as it is impossible to control this question at this time from Washington. A memorandum showing 'How Wisconsin Does It' will be issued shortly." Letter of October 29, 1918: "As I glance at my chart I see the advanced state of the work of physical examination in Wisconsin and I congratulate you upon the results, feeling sure that in the further examination of the 18 and 37-45 group you will find a way of repeating the enviable record you have made in classifying and examining the 19-20 and 32-36 group."

Letter of November 13, 1918: "I take this opportunity to convey my congratulations upon the vigorous and systematic manner in which the whole administration of the Selective Service System has been conducted in the State of Wisconsin.

Telegram of November 29, 1918: "I renew my congratulations to you on the record of Wisconsin."
