Norwich bulletin., 1917-06-02

Preparations for taking the mili- tary registration of young men be- | tween the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive here, next Tuesday. are complete. There is doubt that the great ma jortty of young men who are called l upon to register will do so without l denurring. There are some who do not relish the requirement that they are called upon by the government to | face and possibly a few who will risk the serious consequences provided for | those who fail to register as required. l One case was reported here Friday of young man who has gone to Can | ada, and, according to the report, in tends to return here after registration l day. The risk this young man is> talk | ing Is far greater, so far as conse- quences are concerned, than will be taken by 90 per cent. of those who register, for the officials will get him sure.
 Town Clerk David Flags has receiv ed lists of young men of Putnam who must register next Tuesday. There are 716 names in this list which is state in the military census taken in this town in February and early March. Undoubtedly there are other young men in Putnam who must reg the list.
 The names that make up the list have been selected from the Putnam | returns made to the capitol and they

 drafted to fill this towns share of | the first 5O0,000 troops will not ex- ceed 40 men and may be no more | than s5. so the great majority who will register next Tuesday will escape | military service, at least for the time being
 As registration day approaches many questions relative to registering | general rule the requirement is taken | as a mighty serious proposition, but | the majority are accepting the inevi- table with good grace.
