REGISTRAR ion PLAN s
MADE.


member of the Tennessee Defense
Council who has been present at
The conrefence in Washington of
government and state represen-
tatiVes in regard to both military
and food defense of the United
States, telegraphed Gov. Rye
Saturday from Washington that
he would return to Nashville
Monday morning, and that the
meeting had been very sucness-
tul in every way
On his return to Nashville Mr..
Smith will report to the govern
or the plans proposed at the con-
ference for state and nation CO.
operation A meeting of the
state defense council will then be
allied, and the plans for the part
Tennessee is to play in the de-
fense will be agreed on.
Under the plan of the war de-
partment for a census of avail
able soldiers subject to selective
draft, each state will have a
practical head of the work to be
known as disbursing officer and
officer in charge of registration.
Where it was possible the war
department desired the adjutant-
general of the state to discharge
the duties of this important posi-
ton and where it was impossible
the governor was requested to
designate suitable man for this
position. Adjt-Gen. Rogan's du-
ties are so heavy that it was i'm.
possible for him to take over the
additional work and Gov. Rye
telegraphed the secretary of war
suggesting as the proper man
for the position. Gov. Rye re-
ceived a telegram from Secretary
Baker approving the designation
of Mr.. Smith.
Day for Registration
To Be Set Aside.
After the selective draft bill be-
comes a law President Wilson will
by proclamation set aside a day
on which all persons subject to
draft must register. This reg
istration viii be in charge of the
election machinery of each state
and each citizen will be furnish
ed registration blank, which
he must fill out, giving age, oc-
cupation, and condition in life as
to marriage and responsibilities.
These blanks will be sent from
Washington to the sheriff of
every county in the United States
and by this official supplied to
citizens subject to draft. The
election officers and election
boards will have charge of regis
tration, and at its conclusion will
make return of the signed blanks
to a county board, composed of the
sheriff, county court clerk and
thepresident of the county board
of health. These three men will
go over the registration records
and select from the list in each
county the most available men.
The government intends to give
proper consideration to a mans
responsibilities as to family, par
ents or relatives, as the case may
be. These county boards will be
in possession of sufficient infor-
nation to guide them in tn Sc
lection of available men for the
army.
These county boards will then
make returns of the registration
to the governor, adjutant-gener-
al and the disbursing or regis
tration officer at Nashville and
other capitals. The list from
counties will then be transmitted
to the war department by the
states, and the drafts made up
for the army.
While a great many states have
indicated an intention to provide
machinery and men for this CEN
sus gratuitously, the war depart
ment says compensation win b
allowed.

Evers and Crawford Hold Long Ser
 vice in Major League-Teary Turner
 a Close Second.
 Now that those venerable land- marks, Hans Wagner and Larry La joie, have passed out of the major leagues, the distinction of being longest in tlre service" passes along to other players. Johnny Evers, the peppery captain of the Boston Braves, is now the oldest player, in point of service. in his league, and Sam Craw- ford holds the honor in the American league, with Terry Turner close second. Every player in the National league when Evers came in has de- parted, though some are still in the game as managers. EWers made his first appearance in the National league back in 1902 with the Chicago Cubs, and he remained with that club until the close of the 1913 campaign. He has since been with Boston. Crawford was in the National league a long time before Evers arrived. Sam joined the Cincinnati Reds late in the season of 1899, and he re- mained there until the close of the 1902 season, when he cast his lot with the Tigers. He was regular at De- troit until last season, but Is now a substitute.
