Washington. 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.
