war registration complete tonight
when the provost marshal generals s
office closed, showing combined
registration of 2,349,256. compared
with their census eligible estimate of
2,7O3,727.
At this rate something over 85 per
cent of the census estimate has been
registered. and If the other thirty one
states should show the same ratio of
decrease the total registration would
be around nine million, or 1854, 900
below the census figures.
VIII Show Few Siackcrs.
Officials do not believe, howes er,
that the average of Is per cent under
the estimates will be maintained and
hope to see the total well over nine
million. With the men now in the
military or navy service not required
to register deducted from the census
figures, confidence Is felt that the
record will show comparatively few
slaclers to be accounted for.
The total indicated possible exemp-
tion reported by the states recorded
is 1,362,467. OF the total registered,
1,652,565 are white, 449,779 are ne
groes, 1sS,t45 exclusive of West Vir-
