largely on the recommendation Of the
state authorities.
The boards are expected to have
every registrant numbered. A. the
drafting will be done by number In
stead of by name. The local boards
will number the men registered there
and send the numbered cards to the
adjutant general Of the state In which
they are located.
Each states numerals will be from

telegraphed from Washington to the
governors Of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards. and the adjutant general will
notify the local boards under whose
Jurisdiction the selected men are.
The onus of determining whether
or not he has been drawn lies with
the man himself. Plentiful provisions
have been made for letting each man
know whether or not he has been
drawn. Four copies of the resistra-
ton list and the number he bears are
to be made public, one being placed
at the office Of the local board and
another being made available for the
press.

Outline of Plan Given in Letter
OF Governor to County
SheFfffS.
CAPPE2 WANTS QUICK ACTION
Expects to Have List of Eligible Men
Completed Within Ten Days
After Notification.

Topeka-1nstructio went forth
from the governors office recently in
regard to the registration of men for
the army, under the new selective
draft law. They were formulated in
accordance with instructions from the
War Department.
The circular letter of the governor
to sheriffs Of the various counties
gives, in detail, TIE plan of registra-
ton. It says in part:
The sheriff, county clerk and county
physician are to constitute a board in
each county to supervise the registra-
ton and draft; the sheriff to be the
executive officer of the board; the
clerk the custodian of the records and
secretary, and the county physician
the physical examiner This registra-
ton is to be made by election pre-
cincts and the duty of the board is to
appoint in each precinct a board of
three members to conduct the regissra-
ton.
In naming the registration boards in
the precincts. the secretary of war be-
lieves patriotic people can be found
who will volunteer to act as registra-
ton officials without compensation.
As soon as places of registration are
DESIGNATED the people should be in
formed of their location
In all cities having registration, the
machinery of the election commits
sioner's office may be utilized in Sc
lecting the board for the precincts in
the city.
While it is assumed by the secre-
tary of war that all parties concerned
in carrying out this draft will do so
without question from patriotic mo-
tives, it should be understood that
heavy penalties are provided for fail
ure to do so. The necessary blanks
will be sent direct to the sheriff OF
each county as soon as the President
has signed the proclamation, which
probably will be done within the next
two or three days.
It is advised that items be published
in county papers this week in regard
to the plan, so that the people will
have some advance information. Men
enlisted prior to the day of registra-
ton in the national guard, army, navy,
marine corps, ETC., will be exempt
from the provision OF the draft.
