J. 5. ATTORNEY
 ISSUES WARNING
 OVER DRAFT BILL
Severe Penalty Attaches to All Words and Actions
 Against Army Measure.

Little Rock, May 2s.-Henry Rector, assistant United States district at torney, today issued a warning to persons disposed 10 protest against the provisions of the selective draft jaw which requires all persons from 21 to 30, inclusive, to register on June 5. He called attention to the severe penalty to be imposed on persons con- yicted of interfering ill any way With the registration.
 "It has been brought to the atten- tion of the United States attorney that in different parts of the state some persons are undertaking to ad- wise those liable to conscription that they are not required to register, and are calling upon them to evadc reg istration and to refrain from per forming their duties under the con- scription act" he said.
 "Not only are these persons guilty of extreme disloyalty to the nation, hut in some instances they are vio- lating the law and will be punished therefor. The most serious conse- ouences of their scditious remarks, however. will be the punishment meted out to those who follow their advice and in pursuance thereof fail to present themselves for registra- tion. The law provides severe penal ties for failure to register, and it IS the duty of every citizen to aid the government in securing this registra- lion. and no one should be misled or deceived by the unpatriotic acts ot those who would hinder the govern ment at this time."
