Government Movement for Purpose of Enabling All
 Men Called to Colors to Care for Business, Started

For the purpose of providing com petent legal advice and assistance free of all charge, to every man of military age who has been drawn for service in the national army, legal advisory boards are to be formed in every local district in the country. These boards are to assist the men in the preparation of all papers that are necessary in the future, that no man shall suffer flor the lack of proper advice and help.
 Especially is the assistance of this legal advisory board necessary in the filling out of the new "Questionaire, the pamphlet which every registrant will receive, according to the new reg ulations just prepared by the military board. The following instructions re- garding the new advisory board have been received by Colonel Fred s. Breen:
 All members of the bar should make their services available to the legal ad- visory boards to be constituted by the governor as hereafter provided.
 The governor shall constitute legal advisory boards in such numbers and within such districts that they shall be convenient to every registrant who IS to appear before local or district 
 board to which such registrant may apply for all necessary advice and as- sistance in preparing claims, question aires or any other papers required by these regulations to be submitted by a regiStrant.
 After determining the number and location of legal advisory boards neces- sary to accomplish this purpose, the governor shall nominate, for appoint ment by the president, three represen- tative lawyers, to be permanent mem bers of such boards. to take charge of this work within each such district and to be held responsible that there shall always be a competent force of lawyers or laymen available to such registrants at any time during which the local or district boards within such district are open for business. The governor shall nominate one of such three persons to be chairman of each legal advisory board; and the member so nominated shall, whenever practicable. be judge of the county court, or of the common pleas court, or of court of similar jurisdiction.
 The governor shall call upon all competent laymen, to offer their ser vices to such legal advisory boards foI the purpose. of being present at the headquarters of the local boards and | rendering aid and advice to registrants Such persons shall be known as as- sociate members, and no formal ap- pointment by the president shall be i necessary.
 For his assistance in this work, the | governor has the active cooperation and assistance of the American bar as- | sociation. l It should be the pride of every law | yer that no regiStrant within his dis | trict is without competent legal advice and assistance in preparing all papers | that such registrant is required to sub init in the process of the selection O | citizens of this nation for duty in tht present emergency.
 It is intended to utilize the cooper ation of the American Bar association | in the following manner: In every state the American Bar as sociation has a resident vicepr dent; elected member of it's genera council, and in every state where thu president of the state bar association is member of the general council | I request that you appoint a centra | committee composed preferably of sait three officers of the American Bar as sociation and state attorney general t' plan the organization of the severa legal advisory boards throughout tn state.
 Full instructions are being mailed today to all members of the American Bar association and you are requested l to confer with it's above mentioned of ficers and promptly as possible. l may be necessary to delay few day! | until they receive instructions.
