WHITE ISSUES WARNING TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. MAY 23, 1917. King Those Who Will Be Absent From City on Appointed Day Must See . That Their Registration Cards Reach Here on Time. AIy age? I dare not try to keep it from you now; I'm 21." This answer, with variations, was given by more than a score of prospec tive soldiers yesterday to Deputy County Clerk Schneider. For yester day saw the beginning in Portland of the war registration under the Federal selective draft act. Portland residents who will not be in the city on war cen sus day June 5 or residents of other cities or states who are sojourning in Portland temporarily are those who must register under the conscription law at once. C. F. Treloar, a traveling man, was the first Portlander to register. A few minutes after Deputy County' Clerk Schneider had opened up his registra tion bureau at the Courthouse yester day Treloar affixed his signature to a registration card in order that the Gov ernment might call upon him for serv ice if necessary. Youlk Given Courage. Those who registered at the Court house yesterday included both Portland residents and those who are here vis iting. A young Montanan was one of the first to register. The greater num ber, however, included Portland men who will be out of the city on war census day. "Do you claim exemption?" was asked a strapping young unmarried man. "Well, I don't know," was his answer after pondering a moment. "I am helping to support my father and mother," he ventured, evidently seeking some method of ayoiding mil itary duty. "But you won't claim exemption on that ground alone, will you?" he was asked. "No, let it go without exemption," he said finally, and it was noticeable that his shoulders were thrown back just a trifle more as he strode out of the office. 3Von-Residents Hunt Register. As soon as the young men oZ Fort land awake to the fact that they sholild register at once if they are to be away from the city on war census day it is expected that the registration depart ment at the Courthouse will be crowded throughout the day. . Non-residents who must register now are required to forward their registra tion cards to the registrars of their home precincts in time to reach there by war census day. They must also enclose a stamped, self -addressed en velope if they desire a certificate of registration from the registration officials.- Alt youn men of military age who do not have these certificates after registration day are liable to arrest. White Isaacs Summary. General White telegraphed instruc tions yesterday to every County Clerli in the state to proceed at once to regis ter absentees or prospective absentees who apply to them.

Portland Public to Be Educated as to Plan and Scope of Activities of Organisation, A speakers' bureau, under the super vision of which more than a hundred of Portland's best-known men and women will be enlisted' for active serv ice, is being organized by the man aging , committee of the Red Cross fund-raising campaign, which will open vigorously for a whirlwind "drive- im mediately following the June election. - It is planned to have street speak ing on prominent downtown corners every day at noon and frequently in the evenings; speaking at clubs and business men's luncheons; speaking at publio meetings to be held in various theaters at noon and at night; speak ing at colleges, public schools and all educational institutions; speaking in the churches and religious organizations; speaking before the parent-teacher circles and the women's clubs and mis cellaneous . organizations; also impor tant noon-day speeches at the city's factories, shops and other large in dustrial establishments. The object of this campaign of pub lic speaking will be to educate the Portland public as to the purposes and the methods of the Red Cross and the splendid work it has always done and Is now carrying on in every part of the world; also to inspire patriotic interest and stimulate contributions to ward Portland's share of the tremen dous fund which is now needed to carry on the great work of the Red Cross, its official relief organization. Today the local committee will begin a comprehensive survey of the entire city of Portland with a view of con ducting a house-to-house canvass dur ing the Red Cross week. The city will be districted into approximately 15 grand divisions, with a. captain in charge of each, and further sub divisions, probably coincident with elec tion precinct boundaries. will be blocked out. and to cover the entire field in one week will necessitate ap proximately BOO volunteer workers. CLERICAL HELP SCARCE Government Examinations Fall to Draw as Many as Required. The scarcity of stenographers for' departmental service at Washington continues, despite the attempts made to quickly recruit a force of 5000. At the examinations held each week In this city numbers have applied, but not to the amount desired. Fifteen applicants took the steno graphic examination for departmental service yesterday at Room 110, Custom house, with M. K. Wlgton, secretary of the local Civil Service Board, as ex aminer. Similar examinations have been held for several weeks past, but the total stenographers who have taken the examinations is less than 100. An examination for clerks in the de partmental service at Washington will be held on May 25, while an examina tion of junior typewriters, of whom no proficiency in dictation is required, will be held May 24 and 26. The next ex amination for stenographers will be held May 29. Examinations will be held each Tuesday until further notice. Practical assurance is given - that those who successfully pass the exam inations will receive appointments at entrance salaries of from 9900 to f 1000 a year. .
