Bisbee daily review., 1917-07-06

connection with the army draft and immediately there was a scramble and digging down in pockets to see if the owner of a registration certificate bore one of the numbers on the list that was given out. As a consequence quite a number found that they had the certificates bearing those numbers. Among them were Albert J. Detloff. manager of the Orpheum theatre; Lei ty Wilson of the same place; E. C. Tracy, of the Central theatre; w T. McGlynn, of the Imperial Confection- cry; Harry Hayes, proprietor of the Antiseptic barber shop; O. L. Mize, of the Bisbee Auto Co.,; R. E. Boat right, Tom Moran, John Rock, Wayne Northington, Walter Sheppard; Ivan Johnson and Evan Vile.
 Some began to worry and prepare for making arrangements to go to the front, but their worry and prepara- tions are for naught
 The official registration board of Co., chise county, composed of Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler the executive officer. Ray B. Krebs, county recorder and Dr. c. H. Hunt of this city, has not re- ceived one word of instructions in re- gard to making the drawing and only a few days ago did they receive their appointments from Governor Camp bell. Under the instructions that were sent at that time, there is now being made in Tombstone the serial num- bers that will be used in the draft as will be seen by the wording of the in structions that are printed below. The serial numbers on the cards will not be completed until some time tomor- TOW and the board expects to have them in the hands of the adjutant gen. eral of the state of Arizona, Saturday morning when they are required to be in.
 The numbers on the registration certificates that are now held will not be the numbers that are to be drawn and could not govern for the fact that alone in the Bisbee precinct there are. for instance, 10 certificates bearing the number I'll" which was one of the numbers published. In the first ward in Bisbee there were six different men registering and each numbered his cards consecutively so that there are six with the same numbers in the first ward: in the second ward there are two cards, one number I'll" and an- other numbered "11A", and in the third and fourth wards there are two more, making the total of ten for the Bisbee precinct
 The serial numbers that are now be- ing made will govern the draft and therefore those who thought they had been drawn had their worry for noth- ing. The public will be informed when the drawing is to be made and according to the instructions given below the lists will be posted and pub lished with the serial numbers.
 The following taken from the official
 rstructions sent to the registration board and received by them since the first of July fully explains the matter of the numbering and the regulations thereof:
 Sec. e-Duty of Local Boards to Num-
 Der Registration Cards:
 Immediately upon its organization, and, if practicable, within three days thereafter, each local board shall num- Der each and every registration card then in its possession, beginning with No. l and continuing consecutively un- til all registration cards are numbered. These numbers shall be known as "se- rial numbers" and must be entered on the face of each registration card in red ink between the words Form I" occurring at the left-hand top of the card, and the words Registration card" The local board will at the same time give the same serial num- Der" to the corresponding copy of each registration card which it numbers.
 The registration cards should not. for the purpose of assigning such "se- rial numbers" be alphabetically ar rangement of such registration cards.
 As additional registration cards are thereafter received or made out by any local board, such cards shall be given a serial number" in exactly the manner used in numbering the other registration cards. Such additional cards shall be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are received or made out. The first of such addi- tional cards so received Or made out shall bear the serial number next following the last serial number placed upon a registration card re- ceived from the registration officers; and other or additional cards received or made out thereafter shall bear the number next following this number in consecutive, numerical order.
 In case any local board has in it's possession any registration cards Of which it has not copies, it will imme- diately make such copies and will give to each of them the serial number which corresponds to the registration card of which it is a copy. The blank forms (Form D for such copies will he furnished by the governor of each
