Criminal Action for SIackers

Despite anticonscription agita-
tion in many cities which depart
ment of justice officials suspect as
German propaganda, the depart
ment expects virtually all the men
between ages of twenty-one and
thirty inclusive, will register for
the war draft next Tuesday. To
insure this further steps have been
taken looking to the prosecution
of persons seeking to hinder reg
istration plans and to the detection
of those who may avoid register
ing. Criminal action is likely to
be taken against slackers and Uuit-
ed States marshals and attorneys
have instructions to watch closely
for indications of antiregistration
conspiracies, and to assure the pro-
lection of registrars.

REGISTRATION JUNE 5
Polls Open at c. c. Bigger's Office
att A. M, Tuesday

Attor6ey G. G. Bigger has been
appointed chief registrar for this
precinct with G. B. Welsh and Ira
Frakes as helpers to register all
male citizens of jefferson township
next Tuesday under the provisions
of the selective conscription army
law. The polls will open at Mr..
Bigger's Office at 7 in the morning
and will remain open until 9 in the
evening. Every male citizen be-
tween the ages of 21 and 80 must
register during that time, no diff
ference what their physical con-
dition may be. No one between
those ages is exempt from register
ing, and there is a heavy penalty
for those who fail to appear for
registration. This does not mean
that all who register will be called
into service but it is to create an
eligible list from which selections
will later be made. Following are
the important points covering the
regulation:
1. There is only one day for
registration, June 5, 1917,
2. Every male resident of the
United States who has reached his
21st and has not reached his 3lst
birthday must register on the day
set, June 5, 1917. The only ex-
ceptions are persons in the military
or naval service of the United
States, which includes all officers
and enlisted men of the regular
army, the regular army reserve,
the officers reserve corps, the en-
listed reserve corps, the national
guard and national guard reserve,
recognized by the Militia Bureau
of the war department; the navy,
the marine corps, the coast guard
and the naval militia, the naval
forces, the marine corps reserve
and the national volunteers, recOg-
nized by the navy department.
3. Registration is distinct from
draft. No matter what just claim
you have for exemption, you must
register.
4. Registration is public duty.
For those not responsible to the
sense of this duty the penalty of
Imprisonment, not fine, is provided
in the draft act.
5. Those who through sickness
shall be unable to register, should
cause a representative to apply to
the county or city clerk for copy
of the registration card. The clerk
will give instructions as to how
this card should be filled out. The
card should then be mailed by the
sick person or delivered by his
agent to the registrar of his home
district. The sick person will in
close a self-addressed stamped en-
velope for the return to him OF
his registration certificate.
6. Any person who expects to
be absent from his home district
on registration day should apply
as soon as practicable for a regis
tration card to the county clerk of
the county where he may be stop
ping, or, if he is in a city of over
80, 900, to the city clerk. The
clerk will record the answers on
the card and turn it over to the
absentee. The absentee should
mail this card to the registrar of
his home district SO that it will
reach that Official by registration
day. A self-addressed stamped
envelope should be enclosed with
the card to insure the return to the
absentee of a registration eertif-
cate.
