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. VANCOUVER READY FOR CENSUS

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

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,

BATTERY. 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

ARMORY MADE ISSUE
Enemy Aliens May Be Forced
to Stay in Own Homes.
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."
