Complete Nature And Action Of
Conscription Bill Explained

Absentees and the sick will apply
to such clerks to have their registra-
ton cards filled out In no case shall
such persons be given registration
certificates. They are to be in
structed by the clerk that the burden
is on them to see to it that the cards
reach the registrars Of their home
precincts by registration day.
Absentees and the Sick.
Person absent from their home
counties may be registered by mail
If so absent, a man should go to the
clerk Of the county where he may be
staying on the sixth day after the
date Of the Presidents proclamation.
If he is in city Of over 10000 pop
plation, the city clerk is the official
to whom to apply. The absentee will
be told to register, but he must mail
his card to reach his precinct by re-
gistration day.
Persons so sick as to present them
selves for registration must send a
competent person to the county or
city clerk on the sixth day after the
issuing of the proclamation. The
clerk will give instructions for re-
gistration.
Colleges, Universities, Homes and
other Institutions
Officials Of education, charitable
and other institutions should apply
for instructions to the county or city
clerk on the sixth day after the date
of the proclamation for instructions
as to a convenient method of regis
tration.
The wardens Of jails, penitentiar-
les, and reformatories should apply
to the county or city clerk for in
structions on the sixth day.
Five days after the date of the
Presidents proclamation complete
regulations will be in the hands OF
all sheriffs and of the officials OF
cities of over 10000 population.
| The President is authorized to cal
upon all public officers to assist in
the execution of the law. The plan
is, however, to rely on the people
for the proper execution of the law,
It is expected that patriotic citizens
will offer their services free as re-
gistrars. Such services will be CRATE
fully acknowledged. Volunteers fol-
this service should communicate i'm
mediately with the proper officials.
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-05-07

There was a time In the country's
history when military enumerators.
backed by bayonets, went out
among the people to take compul-
sorry service census. Today under
the principle Of universal liability to
service the execution of the law is
put into the hands of the people.
The approval of the new national
army bill and the Presidents pro-
clamation hereunder will be coin
cident. All persons within the age
limits prescribed will be required to
present themselves for registration
at the customary viting places in
the voting precincts in which they
have their permanent homes, on a
day which the President will an
nounce. The probability is, that
from ten to fifteen days will elapse
between approval of the bill and re-
gistration day.
The governor Of each state will be
the chief Of registration therein.
The machinery of registration in
each country is to be in charge of the
sheriff, the county clerk, and the
county physician, acting ex officio,
unless a different board is announ-
ced by the governor. In cities con-
tanning population of more than 3d.
900, the registration will be under
the control of the mayor and selected
boards Of registration. In order that
the designated county and city Off
Gals, and the people generally, can
get a clear understanding Of the
census the following brief outline
is given.
The Appropriation Of Registrars
The proportion of registrars shall
be one for each ITO persons to be
registered. Each age to be register
ed will comprise about l per cent of
the population.
If, for instance, all in between
10 and rs years of age, inclusive,
are to be registered, the registrar
would have to enroll about z per cent
Of the precinct population.
It is desirable to accept the ser
vices Of competent volunteer regis
trars to serve without compensation.
All registrars mus be sworn.
The voting place in each precinct
must be prepared for registration.
Printed instructions covering every
detail of registration will be in the
hands of sheriffs and assessors on
the fifth day after the presidents
proclamation.
In Cities Over 10000 Population
The mayor of a city containing
more than 10000 inhabitants, or the
officials designated by the governor
therein, shall, with approval of the
governor, appoint for each ward or
convenient minor subdivision con-
tanning about 10000 people one
registration board, and shall desig-
nate one officer of each board to per-
forms duties similar to thase imposed
on the sheriff, as heretofore out
lined. If the mayor desires, he may
appoint a central board to co-ordi-
nate the work of minor boards.
Duties Of County Clerks, and of
Clerks of Cities Over 10000 people
On the 5th day after the president
has issued his proclamation clerks of
counties and cities Of over 10000
must secure a supply of blanks and
copies of the registration regulations
from the sheriff or from the mayor.

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN

New Orleans, May THE Navy
neels men who are skelled in trades
that are peculiar to the operation of
war vessels, and Lieut.. S. F. La
Bounty, Navy Recruiting Officer at
73O Common Street, New Orleans
has announced that his Office will
make extra efforts to enlist such
men.
At the present time the Navy is in
need of men who are machinists or
who are anxious to advance to the
machinists ratings and who can do
30 by enlisting in the firemen
branch. There are exceptional oppor-
tunities open to men who enlist in
the machinist branches. A man poss-
essing training as a machinist who
passes the examination will be en-
listed as a machinist mate second
class at a rate Of pay Of $4,000 per
month and can advance to higher
rating paying as much as $4,000 a
year. A men enlisting as fireman
third Chassis in line for promotion to
ratings in the machinists branch.
The Navy needs large number
of men skilled in the other mechani-
cal branches Of the service, such as
electricians, carpenters, ship filters,
coppersmiths and painters. There
are good chances in the Navy for
men with clerical experience who
can enlist as yoemen, and for bakers,
pharmacists and cooks.
The pay in the Navy, according
TO- Lieut.. LaBounty, compares fav-
orably with civil life because a man
gets his board and lodging free and
on first enlistment $50 outfit of
clothing. Some men in the service
save regularly half Of their pay and
statistics have been compiled by the
Navy Department showing that a
man during 80 years service as sea-
men if he saves fifty per cent of his
pay at the time of retirement he will
have saved about $4,000, which, Of
course with the interest the money
earned. When a man retires from the
service after a certain number Of
years he is given pension.
A man without trade enlisting in
the Navy in the seaman branch can
rise to higher ratings or can learn
one of the trades taught aboard
battleships.
"The Navy is the first line of de-
Tense and in the present crisis this
country must look to the Navy to
make operations Of defense effec-
tive" said Lieut.. LaBounty. "How-
ever, we do not appeal to a man to
enlist for patriotic motives alone,
but we point out to him what the
Navy offers in the way of pay and
advancement and if man is am
bilious he never lets the opportunity
SO by. The Navy offers many oppor-
tunities that they cannot be detail
ed in limited space, but letter ad-
dressed to the recruiting office at
73O ommon Street, New Orleans,
will bring information at any point.
