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.

when that company invaded the local
field, and for the past 20 years he had
been the Washington manager of S.
Backman & Co., a San Francisco house.
He had made his headquarters in Port
land during that time.
He was a charter member of Port
land Lodge No. 142, B. P. O. E.
He is survived by a widow and one
daughter, Marjorie, who only recently
returned from New York, where she
had been completing a musical educa
tion. The body is at the Holman undertak
ing parlors, and the funeral will be
held from there probably Thursday.

RED GROSS PLAN BROAD
MORE TOAS 10O SPEAKERS OB
TAINED FOR CAMPAIGN.
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. . J
