June L With the signing by President Wilson of the bill and pro lamatlon designating Wednesday, June 5, as the day on which all men who have reached the age of 21 since last June S shall register for military service. Pro vost Marshal General Crowders office immediately began preparations for the enrollment of the men. Instead of using the election machinery as was done last year. General Crowder will call upon the local boards. It is believed that their experience during the past year has pe culiarly fitted them to handle the new registration, economically and efficiently. General Crowder has estimated that probably three-quarters of a million men will be added to the American army by the new registration. His estimate Is based on the fact that almost 10,000.000 men registered last year. This number included all . between the ages of 21 and 31, and statistics collected by General Crowder's office show that a little more than 10 per cent of these men were 21 years old. On that basis it is estimated by draft officials that the total registra tion will exceed 1,000.000, of which 750, 000 will be available for military service. This makes proper allowances for phys ical defectives, exemptions because of dependents, and other bars to military service. Wbat Law Provides. The law provides that every young man in the United States who nas reached the age of 21 years since June 1917, or will reach that age on or be fore June 5. 1918, must register. The only exceptions are In the cases of men who are actually in active military or naval service. All male persons, citizens or aliens, born between June 6, 1896 and June S, 1897, inclusive, except offi cers and enlisted men of the regular army, navy, and marine corps, and the national guard and naval militia, while in federal service, and officers in the officers' reserve corps and enlisted men in. the enlisted reserve corps while in active service, must register. Some mis understanding has been caused by the publication of reports that medical and divinity students- need not register, and General Crowder has issued the follow ing statement: "Divinity students and students of medicine must register. Under the terms of the law signed by President Wilson, students who were preparing for the ministry in recognised theological or di vinity schools and students who were preparing for the practice of medicine and surgery in recognized medical schools on May 20, 1918, are exempt from the draft. However, the law does not relieve such students from the duty of registering on Wednesday, June 5. Registration comes first, exemption af terward. It is absolutely necessary that these students register." Provision for Sickness. It is necessary to eo to the registra tion place n person. Any man who ex pects to be absent from home 6n Wednesday, June 5, 1918, should go at once to the office of the local board where he expects to be and have his registration card filled out and certi fied. He must then mail this card to the office of the local board having jurisdiction of the place wherein he per manently resides, and in view Bf the fact that this card must be received by his home local board on or before June 5, It Is essential that anyone who expects to be away from home on that date arrange for his registration Immediately,, Anyone who is sick on June a ana unable to present himself in person at the office of the local board may send some competent friend, who may be deputized by the clerk to prepare his card. Any person In doubt as to where he should register should consult the local board In the place where he permanently resides, or he may obtain the desired in formation from the office of the mayor if he lives in a city of 30;000 popula tion or over, or in the office of the county clerk or parish clerk if he does not live in a city of 30,000. It is not anticipated that many will be delinquent. It is hoped that none will be, but for those who do fail to per form their duty congress has provided a very heavy penalty. Failure to regis ter on June & constitutes a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for one year, and may result, furthermore, in the loss of valuable rights and privileges and immediate induction into military service.
