However, many of those who will be called in the next few months, he said, have small businesses or property which should be properly managed in their absence. No Charge for Service. The service, offered without charge, Is designed to assist those who have small amounts of property and for whom payment of legal fees would be a hardship. Those with large property interests who apply will be asked to choose an attorney in the regular manner.

One obstacle facing the man in military service who gives the power of attorney is that, by strict construction of this power, before his agent can act it must be proved that the draftee is not dead. This could precipitate many delays. To overcome this difficulty, the association has adopted a simplified form of power of attorney originated by John R. Umsted, an attorney of Philadelphia.
