TITE ' 3IORXTNG OREGONIAN, THimSDAT, MAT 24, 1917. 13 GUARDSMEN miic IHUGI REGISTER FOR WAR Company Commanders Or dered to See That Every Man Reports on Census Day. THIRD OREGON IS EXEMPT Units Actually in Federal Service Will Not Be Listed Machinery for Registration Is Found to Be Ready lor Work. Orders were sent yesterday by George A. White, Adjutant-General of the Oregon National Guard, to National Guard company commanders in the state, directing them personally to see that every man of their commands, be tween the ages of 21 and SO years, in clusive, registers on War Census day. Members of the National Guard who are of the designated ages must regis ter like every other male resident of military age. Men in the regular Army, Navy or Marine Corps of the. United States, and in National Guard regiments actually called into the Federal service do not have to register. They are the only ex ception. Men of the Third Oregon Infantry. whioh has been mustered Into the Fed eral service for a couple of months and is now at Vancouver, Wash., will not have to register. Guardsmen Must Register. But all National Guardsmen between the ages of 21 and 30 years inclusive, In the Oregon Coast Artillery, Battery " A, Oregon Field Artillery, and tb,e cav alry troops must register. Failure to do -so will be punished by imprison ment, without option of a fine, just as In the case of any other resident who does not register. The fact that National Guardsmen must register does not mean that they will be conscripted. In fact, as shown by official orders from Washington di rictlng that National Guard commands be drafted bodily Into the United States Army in July, they will be in service before conscription starts, as the first new conscription army is to be organ ized in September. At present, there is a National Guard regulation to the effect that when a Guardsman moves permanently into another state he shall receive his dis charge. Registration Flans Laid. The purpose of the order requiring all National Guardsmen not in Federal service to register on War Census day, June 5, Is to prevent any possibility that advantage to escape service would be taken of this regulation. - - The order shows the purpose of the War Department to make it impossible for any man of military age to escape from registering. Plans for taking of the war registra tion under the Federal selective draft act were formulated yesterday at a meeting of city and county officials at the Courthouse. The governing board met with the nine district boards, here tofore appointed, and announced and arranged for the .many details of regis tration. Central Board Named. Because of the fact that the clerks in the registration department at the of fice of County Clerk Beveridge are tmfiv with their recrular election regis tration, it was decided that the pre liminary war registration now being conducted at the Courthouse should be conducted by two deputies from the of fice of City Auditor Barbur. These registration clerks will begin work this morning. A central board, of which Sheriff Hurlburt Is chairman, was named to supervise the work of the nine district boards. The other members are City Auditor Barbur, County Clerk Bever idge and City Health Officer Abele. It was generally agreed that with the precinct registrars working in har mony with the district boards and with the district boards in turn co-operating with the central board, the work of registering all of military age on June S could be carried on without confu sion.

CITY PLATTED FOR RED GROSS DRIVE Twelve Hundred Assistants Will Be Required for House-to-House Canvass. BISHOP SUMNER TO SPEAK Bureau Organizing Under Seven Groups for Purpose of Con ducting Campaign of Edu cation Throughout City. Henry E. Reed, Assessor of Multno mah County, has volunteered to take personal charge of the city-wide house- DRAFT ACT. rtM-V'i to-house campaign which will be a major feature of th Red Cross drivo for funds during the week of June 18-25. Mr. Reed pitched Into the work yes terday afternoon and is preparing a detailed Red Cross map of the entire city. His plan is to divide the city into approximately 25 grand divisions, with a captain in charge of each one. These districts will be further sub-divided into approximately 500 smaller segregations, with a lieutenant and' aides being held responsible for a complete canvass of every household in his particular unit. 1200 Assistants Wanted. To carry out this part of the Red Cross drive, it is estimated, will require the services of anywhere from 71000 to 1200 volunteer workers, and the local campaign committee has decided to call upon every man and woman In the city who has a heart-interest in the Red Cross movement to give enough of their time to assure the success of the gigantic undertaking. The managing committee urgently appeals to the public-spirited citizens of Portland to send In their names and addresses to the Portland Red Cross headquarters, 204 Corbett building, at once. "We want every man and woman to feel that this appeal Is personal," ex plained R H. Strong, chairman of the committee. "We want all the volun teers we can get and we want each one to specify how much time he or she is going to give to the Red Cross dur ing the, month of June. " We are par ticularly anxious that all those who respond pledge themselves to give up all of their time during Red Cross week, June 18-25, and for the week preceding, if possible.

A NEEDS RECRUITS, HORSESHOERS AND MECHANICS Men Desiring Early Active Service Are Asked to Join Enlistments for Third Oregon Take Big Slump. CAPTAIN B. V. CLAYTON, of Battery A, wants it distinctly understood that the third best National Guard field artillery In the United States wants 20 recruits, among them horseshoers and mechanics.. While the Oregon mil itary organization is In the mad scram ble for recruits to attain war strength. Captain Clayton calls attention of the young men who are joining the colors with hope of early action to the fact that they had better not overlook Bat tery A. 1 Anyone who has been following close ly the war programme of the 'General Staff must realize what efforts are be ing made to build up the field artillery branches of the service. Hardly ever is there a dispatch printed from the Eu ropean front that does not tell of what great parts the artillery is playing in the battles. That in a measure is why the War Department is now calling out and forming new field artillery units. It will be seen by this that Captain Clayton has not overshot the statement when he declares that men desiring quick action and lots of it should not overlook Battery A. When the battery returned from the Mexican border after eight months' service the efficiency report ranked the battery that celebrated Its 51st an niversary on the Mexican border as one of the best In the country. It is still among the best, for. In spite of the fact that 30 of Captain Clayton's men were grabbed up by the regular Army and Navy, he has a smashing good organi zation left one that any-youth may be Justly proud of being a member of. Blacksmith Is Needed. If there 1b a blacksmith In Portland who wants to make an undying friend he can find one in Sergeant-Major Rob Ins at field headquarters. Sergeant Robins needs a blacksmith, for all the horses of the mounted staff, like many of the Third Oregon soldiers, need shoes. Just now the men have shoes, but the horses are unshod, and Ser geant Robins, kriswing the Army by heart, fears that the moving order will blow along some day soon and It will find the horses barefooted. That is why he sends out the S. O. S. for a horseshoer. Recruiting for the Third Oregon fell down with a flop .yesterday,-when only two dropped Into be examined - by Major Marcellus. This Is undoubtedly because the Third Oregon -has no re campaign. In other words, there will be plenty of work to be done by all those who respond to this call. It is our aim to have at least 500 such vol unteers listed by June 1, so that we will be In a position to assign' each volunteer to the definite task for which he or she is best qualified." Speakers' Bureau Formed. . Organization of the Red Cross Speak ers' Bureau was set in motion yester day by the selection of John C English as director of that department. Mr. English is selecting as his aides a num ber of prominent speakers of the city. Right Rey. W. T. Sumner, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon, has al ready agreed to serve with Mr. English, and has consented to make a dozen or more speeches during the course of the campaign. The Speakers' Bureau will be divided Into seven groups, as follows: Group 1 To speak on streeta at 50011 each day of Red Cross week. Group 2 To speak at clubs and busi ness organizations. Group 8 To speak at noonday meet ings at theaters. . . Group 4 To speak at public schools, colleges and educational institutions. Group 5 To speak at churches and religious organlzationa.- Group 6 To speak before parent teacher circles, women's clubs and mis cellaneous organizations. Group 7 To speak at noon meetings at shop, factory and other large Indus trial establishments. Social Events to Contribute. The speaking campaign will be in- of Men Who Are Among the First to augurated immediately after the June election and will continue until the financial drive is over. Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, director of social activities, states that in response to the appeal sent out reports are com ing in from all parts of the city of various social events that are being planned for the purpose of raising money to swell the big total that is ex pected to be rolled up by this depart ment of the big campaign. Besides nu merous smaller functions, there will be several large and elaborate social events, details of which will be an nounced later.

Almost each company command er has a waiting list and as oon as the men get letters from the officers they will appear at the recruiting office at field headquarters without doubt.

Drill on Field Limited. Situated as the various organizations are now, since the Third began living in tents and using a new drill ground, there Is not enough room on this drill ground to work more than one com pany at a time, yet, while the Machine Gun Company was drilling, they were always In danger of running down members of the two Infantry compa nies that were having a mighty stren uous 'time, one company doing skir mishing drill while the other company- was being drilled in the skill of the bayonet.

PERMITS TO BE REQUIRED Mr. Keames Asks Attorney-General Whether Armory Is Included in Fortifications From WhlcU Germans Must Keep Away. A strict interpretation of the Presi dent's proclamation regarding enemy aliens, which declares that tney may not approach within one-half mile of a Federal fort or encampment or simi lar Government station, may mean the wholesale removal of unnaturalized Germans In Portland or may prevent them from even coming down town without a permit. In the opinion of Federal officials here. United States District Attorney Reames telegraphed to the Attorney General yesterday for a more detailed interpretation and asked specifically If the Multnomah ' County Armory would be considered as a fort or camp within the meaning of the President's order. Permits Woald Be Required. If the Armory Is Included among the list of places from which enemy aliens must keep distant one-half mile It would mean that unnaturalized Ger mans would be barred from the down town district of Portland unless they obtained a permit from the Federal au thorities, Some having residences in the barred zone would have to move. Camps of troops at various points in or near the city will further compli cate the enforcement of the President's order. Mr. Reames said that blanks for the Issuing of permits to those German citizens considered safe had already been printed. The President's procla mation becomes effective June 1. These permits will allow the possessor within the barred zones and will insure against arrest during good behavior. Hslf-Mlle Limit Provided. Paragraph i of the President's proc lamation provides: "An alien enemy shall not approach or be found within one-half of a mile of any Federal or state fort, camp, ar- naval vessel. Navy-yard, factory or workshop for the manufacture of mu nitions of war or of any products for the use of the Army or Navy." Rules Issued by the Attorney-General governing the enforcement of this sec tion say: "Regulation No. 4 shall be enforced by the Marshal as follows: "Allen enmles residing within one half mile of a fort, camp, arsenal, air craft station. Government or naval ves sel. Navy-yard, factory or workshop for the manufacture of munitions of war or of any products for the use of the Army and Navy, shall be required to re move therefrom before June 1, 1917. "Any alien enemy who falls to re move prior to June 1, 1917, shall be summarily arrested. Allen enemies who do not reside within one-half mile of the places above referred to and who come within one-half mile of said places will do so at their own risk and may be summarily arrested." 2 PORTLAND COUPLES WED Mcenses Issued at Oregon City Fol lowed by Ceremonies.
