Absentees Register by Mail.

ADSenteeS Register by Mail.
Though very positive in terms. the
regulations to effect registration for
the selective draft June S, are rea-
sonable in their provisions, relative
to absentees. The place of registra-
ton is the domiciliary precinct, but
adequate provision is made for en-
forced absence. The burden rests on
each individual between 21 and 80
years, inclusive, to see that regis.
tration certificates are entered at his
domiciliary precinct on registration
day. Absentees may procure regis
tration blanks from the office of the
county clerk of every county or the
city clerk of cities Of 10000 popula-
tion or more.
Upon application by you, your
card will be made out by the clerk,
turned over to you and by you 1t must
be mailed in time to reach your
domiciliary precinct by the day set
IOr reSlStratlOn.'
Eligibles whose permanent homes
are in cities Of 10000 or more. may
direct the registration card in care
OF the mayor. A self-addressed enve-
lope should be enclosed with the reg.
istration card for the return OF the
registration certificate. Failure to get
this certificate may cause serious em.
barrassment.
Persons in training camps, schools
or colleges or other institutions may
register under the above provisions
for absentees. However, for their
convenience. the county clerk or
clerks Of cities of 10000 or more are
authorized to deputize a competent
person to certify to the registration
cards Of non-residents in such insti-
tutions and to furnish a sufficient
supply Of cards to do SO. It must be
borne in mind that such registration
must be made a sufficient length of
time before the date set by the pres
ident for registration to enable such
student to mail the card. The burden
of registration in his own domiciliary
precinct is on every man; and per-
sons must see to 1t at their peril that
their registration cards are in the
hands of the registrar Of their
domiciliary precinct at the time pre-
scribed in the presidents proclama-
tion.
Persons who, an account Of sick
ness. are unable to present them
selves for registration on the day set
by the president, will cause some COM
petent person to apply to the county
or city clerk for a copy Of the card
and for authority to fill it out. If
ed that he case is bona fide.
me clerk will deputi2e the person ap-
plying for the card to make out the
card. The card will then be mailed
Dy the sick person or delivered by his
agent to the registrar Of the sick per-
sons precinct. The sick person will
inclose addressed envelope for ,
a registration certificate.
