ly hastens this automatic process.
When the time allowed for making
these claims has elapsed, these per-
sons will be enrolled as in the mill
tary service. They will then be ord
cred to appear as soldiers. From
this point on, they will be under the
swift and summary procedure Of
courts-martial. Failure to report for
military duty when ordered to do so
constitutes desertion. Derestion in
time of war is a capital offense. De-
serters may be apprehended by either
civil or military authority and, after
the mandate of the Federal Govern
ment a gone forth, the whole
strength of the military arm of the
Government is available to apprehend
deserters if it is necessary to use
such force.
Demonstration against the local
boards are simply futile strokes in
the air. All the records necessary to
hold such persons are already on file
at State headquarters and at the Ma
tlonal Capital, and since local boards
have no occasion to use force in
simply offering a beneficial opportun-
lty to registered persons, there is no
field for resistance. If resistance is
attempted, later when the army seeks
to a%pprehend deserters it will instant
" encounter troops of the Federal
Government.

rolled for military service. A pre-
liminary call has gone forth to some
such persons but the immediate and
actual object of this call is merely to
provide an opportunity for such per-
sons, or for some one else in respect
of them to present to the Government
reasons why they should not be fin
ally ordered to report for military
duty. If such persons do not appear
and present these reasons, they have
simply neglected to take advantage
of an opportunity that was offered
solely for their benefit. The failure
of persons to take advantage of this
opportunity does not interfere with
the raising of the army, and interests
the Government only as punishable
crime of omission. If they do not de-
sire to make any such claims or if
for any other reason they fail to ap-
pear, their names are automatically
posted as having been called and not
exempted or discharged. Automati-
