PLAN FOR RAISING ARMY
MEN OF REQUIRED AGE MUST REGISTER
BEFORE CIVILIAN QFFICERS-.-PRESI-
DENT TO SET THE DAY.

Now that the selective conscrip-
tion bill has been passed officials
have announced the plan by
which the military registration
will be carried out. 1t is planned
to place the task as much as
possible in the hands of county
and city officers in order that
there may not appear any sugges-
tion of military force in putting
it in effect.
All persons within the age
limits prescribed will be required
to present themselves for registra-
ton at the customary voting
places in the voting precincts in
which they have their permanent
homes, on day which the presi-
dent will announce. The prob
ability is that from 10 to Is days
will elapse between approval of
the bill and registration day.
THE governor of each state
will be the chief of registration
therein. The machinery Of
registration in each county is to
be in charge of the sheriff, the
county clerk and the county
physician, acting ex-oficia, un-
less different board shall be
announced by the governor. In
cities containing populations of
more than 10000 the registration
will be under the control of the
mayor and selected boards of
registration. In order that the
designated county and city
officials and the people generally
can get a clear understanding of
the census methods the following
brief outline is given.
"The sheriffs or other designat-
ed officials Immediately upon re-
ceiving notice from the governor
shall appoint registrars for each
voting precinct.
"The proportion of Registrars
shall be one for each ITO persons
to be registered. Each age to be
registered will comprise about
one per cent of the population.
if, for Instance, all men between
10 and Is years of age, inclusive,
are to be registered, the registrar
would have to enroll about seven
per cent of the precinct popula-
ton.
1T is desirable to accept the
services of competent volunteer
registrars, to serve without COM
pensation. All registrars must

be sworn.
"The voting place in each
precinct must be prepared for
registration. Full printed in
structions covering every detail
of registration will be in the
hands of sheriffs and mayors on
the fifth day after the presidents
proclamation.
"On the fifth day after the
president has issued his proclama-
ton clerks of counties and cities
of over 10000 must secure a
supply of blanks and copies of
the registration regulations from
the sheriff or from the mayor.
Absentees and the sick will apply
to such clerks to have their
registrations cards filled out. In
no case shall such persons be
given registration certificates.
They are to be instructed by the
clerk that the burden is on them
to see that the cards reach the
registrars of their home precincts
by registration day.
Persons absent from their
home counties may be registered
by mail. If so absent, a man
should 60 to the clerk of the
county where he may be staying
on the sixth day after the date of
the presidents proclamation. If
he is in a city of over 10000
population, the city clerk is the
official to whom to apply. The
absentee will be told how to
register but he must mail his
card in time to reach his precinct
by registration day.
Persons too sick to present
themselves for registration must
send a competent person to the
county or city clerk on the sixth
day after the Issuing of the
proclamation. The clerks will
give instructions for registration.
Five days after the date of the
presidents proclamation COM
plete regulations will be in the
hands of all sheriffs and of the
officials of cities of over 10000
population.
"The president is authorized
to call upon all public officers to
assist in the execution of the
law. The plan is, however, to
rely on the people for the proper
execution of the law. 1t is ex-
pected that patriotic citizens will
offer their services free as
registrars. Such service will be
gratefully acknowledged. Vol
unteers for this service should
communicate Immediately with
the proper official"
