Washington, June G.-The mighty roll of honor of American manhood had begun to reach Washington to- night from the states that had com pIeted their count of the men of mill. lary age registered yesterday. At a iate hour only a few complete re port@ had been received but prelimi- nary unofficial returns were sufficient to show that millions of men await the call 10 arms.
 The official figures were too sca7t TOT an accurate estimate of the total oi the men who have registered. The irst reports showed that the census oureaa estimates Of eligib,es had not been eqnalled but officials pointed out that the numbers by which one or two cities alone had exceeded the esti- mates would wipe out the entire de 'iciency of the several smaller states sending in the first official returns.
 In some of these cities registration still was in progress today the attor. ney general having approved the ac- ion of Provost Marshal General Crowder in authorizing an extension of ime where cards were lacking or where the registration machinery proved --herwiSe Inadequate to it, task
 Until he records of the great manu- iactlrlne Centers are complete the re. SultS cannot na oato.a ,,a,,.at-t-. General Crowder said tonight that it was not to be expected that the regis.
 nation figures WoMd check with the census estimates. if for no other req
 on because some hundreds of thou. sands of men in the army and navy and national guard were not required to register.
 Messages from governors all over the country showed thai there are rel atively new statistics to be dealt with Already the machinery of the govern ment is moving 10 bring these few to a reckonlng The chief factor in bringing this about, however, will be through legal process.
 No man can skuHi in temporary safety because he is stranger in the community or bccause his age is not known if the process of the law can bring him ito account
 Already the regulations which will govern exemptions are virtually com. pete. It is probable that few days will see them duly promulgated by President Wilson and the work of as. sembling he boards in each communi. " under way. The personal honor of the president, of Secretary Baker and of every member of congress who vot- ed for the bill stands pledged to the statement that was handed Justice Furniss to all men, high or low. white or black, will govern in the great task.
 President Wilson upon whom the aw imposes the duty of selecting and approving all the boards, probably will delegate this authority to the state officials The loyal response exemplL fled in the registrato is certain.
 Then comes appointment Of the board of review to which each man who may be chosen by his local board for army duty may carry his case if he feels himself wronged These broadly speaking will be created for each federal judicial district and the president may appoint them himself. There is no statement yet available as to the process by which men will he drawn 10 appear before the exemp- | ton boards. Secretary Baker has stated that something in the nature of l jury wheel might be employed. but beyond that no information has been given out.
 Reports today from all parts of tn . country bore ont the indications Of fast night that the great enterprise had been carried through withom ob- ieoiion or opposition from a sufficient number of citizens to be worthy of mention.
