ARMY AND NAVY TAKE
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

Washington. Feb. 6.-AIl precau-
tionary measures and preparatory
steps the military branches of the
government are authorized to take are
well under way and little remains to
be done unless the war ensues.
On surface, the war and navy de-
partments appear quite as in normal
times. Below the surface, however,
officials are studying steps in plan
to take under authority Of the an
nual appropriation bill, as the navy
must bear the first shock of the for
eign foe, and the appropriation bill
is expected to carry ample funds to
meet any emergency. Censorship of
radio plants is increased. There is
less need for haste with the army, but
the bill will carry ample funds. Sec
rotary Baker has directed the quar-
termasters department to re-stock
army reserve depots.
Big increases were added to the
national defense appropr alton meas
ures in congress and plans put
through quickly for provisions re-
ouested by the administration to place
the country in readiness for whatever
may follow the break. The house
wrote nearly $15,000,000 into the
naval bill for ammunition, merchant
auxiariaries and anti-aircraft guns to
defend naval stations.
Three bills to expedite naval con-
struction and aid in developing aero
nautics were introduced for considera-
ton before the end of the week. While
the house was debating the naval bill.
the military committee brought the
annual army appropr. alton measure,
carrying $247,o 100000.
Among the largest items for new
equipment was eight millions for
aviation, eleven million for equipment
and stores for reserve corps and five
and q half millions for machine guns.
The annual Notifications bill near
ed completion when the senate APP
nroved conference reports embodying
provision. against purchase of any
supplies at a price in excess of the
cost of manufacture by the govern
ment.
Republicans and democrats, declar-
ing that Partisan considerations
should be forgotten, approved without
question the increased appropriation
recommended by Secretary Daniels.

Important For
Registrants

The QUESTIONABLE must be return
ed to the Exemption Board properly
executed within seven days from its
posting, otherwise there are heavy
penalties upon the registrant. One
hundred and ten questionnaires are
sent out each day. 1t is estimated
that it may take as long as an hour
to execute each QUESTIONABLE, even
with assistance from a legal advisor.
1t is absolutely necessary to reduce
this time in order to give time for
this work to be done, as can be seen
from the number that must be serv-
ed each day.
The members of the Legal AGvls-
DRY Board at present consist of all of
the lawyers in Cambridge, who have
volunteered their assistance for this
work without compensation. Lay
men capable of giving this assis-
lance will probably have to be called
on within few days, as it will be
impossible for the fifteen lawyers
available for this service to grant as
sistance to as many as one hundred
and ten in a day.
Registrars will be required to
have made some preparation to an
swer the QUESTIONABLE by reading
it carefully or having it read over
carefully to them before they appear
before the Legal Advisory Board for
assistance, as such preparation will
greatly dispatch the work and enable
adequate service to be given to all
who need it.
1t is the patriotic duty of every
citizen who is capable of doing SO to
freely give advice and assistance to
the registrants in explaining the
QUESTIONABLE and answers expected
of them. and unless this preparation
is made in advance the registrant
will be unable to answer many of the
questions required to be answered
and will be sent away to obtain
same.
