Citizens generally are invited to suggest
amendments and assist in keeping the lists
perfect. It is the interest Of all persons to
see that those liable to military duty not
escape through omissions Of Enrolling Off
GERS, or fraudulent applications; and that
the quotas Of their towns are not increased
because Of the Enrolment containing the
names of persons who have died, or OF those
who are not liable to military duty by
reason of
Alienage,
Non-residence,
Unsuitableness Of age,
Permanent Physical or Mental dis
ability, or
Having been two years in the military or
naval service of the United States, during
the present war.
The names of persons reported for En-
rollment should be accompanied by state
ment of age, color, or occupation, married
or single, place of birth, and former military
service, and also the precise locality or resi-
dence. If the parties claim that they are
enrolled elsewhere, the town, county and
State should be given.
ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS PERTAINING
TO THE AMENDMENT OF THE ENROLMENT
SHOULD BE MADE THROUGH THE DEPUTY PRO-
vosT MARsHALs, OR SPECIAL AGENTS WHO ARE
NOW THE ENROLLING OFFICERS FOR THEIR RE-
sPEcTIvE COUNTIES. Much TIME An TROUBLE
WILL BE SAVED BY COMPLYING WITH THE ABOVE
REQUIREMENTS. But applications on account
of permanent physical or mental disability
must in all cases be made in person before
this Board. s,s Ia n9g4Ta4 sI bed aa
