Draft Directors
Prefer Prison to

Big Movement to Demand
an Early Peace I'm
der Way

Ten thousand psclfsts of conscript
age, who have been active with the
Emergency Peace Federation, the Amer
lean Union Against Milttarism, the No
Conscripticn League and the Federated
Union for Democracy in opposing con-
scription, yesterday watched with anx-
iety the drawing of the draft numbers.
Scores of them reported to various
pacifst headquarters that they were in
q quandary whether to express their
unwillingness to be drafted into mill
tary service before or after they were
called for physical examination.
Notices were sent out to the $500
conscientious DIRECTORS enrolled by the
Civil Liberties Bureau, which is n
branch of the American Union Against
Militarism. 20 Fifth Avenue, telling the
men just what their legal status would
be if they failed to comply with the
law.
1--WE did not advise the conscientious
directors just what to DO" said Roger
n. Baldwin, director of the bureau.
ave simply told them that if they re-
! fused to submit TO physical examina-
| tion they would be prosecuted under
civil law, and If they refused to serve
after being examined and accepted they
would be under martial law. Under
| civil law the maximum penalty would
be one years Imprisonment. What the
penalty would be under martial law is
still unannounced.
Confer with Secretary Baker
"On behalf of the directors I had a
| long conference with Secretary Baker
and Mr.. Tumulty. We turned over all
our data as TO the number and senti-
ments of DIRECTORS for the use of the
President. Mr. Baker seemed TO be ex-
tremely anxious that something be
done to minimize any trouble that
might arise over resistance TO the
draft. ! am confident that when their
! full plans are announced some pro-
vision will be made for the DIRECTORS.
Mr.. Tumulty indicated that President
Wilson is extremely concerned over

The Provost Marshal General made
public yesterday bulletin containing
instructions for the registrants OF June
). II is called Bulletin Form. No. q,
P. NJ. G. o.
First, the registrant must find out
the location of the local exemption
board that has his card. He can find
out from the policeman on post near
his house, from the nearest police sta
ton or from lists published by news
papers.
At the Office of his local exemption
board he will find list of the regis
trants in the district, each with his
red ink serial number. This number Is
not the one which was on his registra-
ton card when he registered. 1t is the
number which determines, by its posi-
ton in the draft at Washington, when
its owner shall report for examination.
The order in which his number is
drawn in Washington can be ascer-
tanned from newspapers and from lists
posted in the Offices of local exemption
boards. The registrant, il his number
falls within those listed in the first call,
must apply to the local exemption
board at once for the approximate date
of his examination. He must see to it
that the date on which u ose bearing
his number are called for examination
does not slip by unnoticed, for he may
receive no notification.
Board Directs Registrant
If physically disqualified in the ex-
animation the board will direct the
registrant as TO his further course. IL
he passes the physical test or does not
report for it he will be listed as liable
for military service within eight days
after being called for examination.
Those physically fit who wish TO obtain
exemption must file their c inns within
seven days after their cal, and will
have ten days in which to file support
ing afidavits Gin other than industrial
exemptions). Forms for the proofs will
be supplied by the boards, and all
proofs, properly attested, must be filed
on these forms. No arguments will be
allowed.
Exemptions may be granted to: A

theological student; men in military or
