Evening world)
ALBANY, May 1.-Plans were
completed to-day to round up, in
single day. a complete record Of all
OF the men in New York, subject to
the new conscription law, the moment
the Federal Government calls upon
the State for It's list.
Within twenty four hours after the
Executive call every household in the
State will be suddenly and rudely
aroused TO the fact that a real war
has begun. 1t Is estimated that the
state OF New York alone will report
more than enough names between
twenty lone and thirty years of age
to supply the entire first army. or
course, only the States pro rata of
the general total will be called to the
colors.
Gov. Whitman has already rushed
to all the Mayors and Sheriffs Of the
State particulars Of a plan OF en-
rolling men by voting districts at the
regular polling places IL possible. Only
one day will be needed for this, as II
will be carried on with election dis
tricts as units.
As soon as word is flashed from
Washington that President Wilson
has issued a selective draft proclaim
alton, Gov. Whitman will formally
order that the States military census
and inventory be temporarily post
poned. and will set in motion the
machinery throughout the State to
carry out tho Federal registration.
| The county registration boards
will consist of the Sherif, County
Clerk and County Physician or
health officer. In every city OF S0,-
900 persons or more there will be a
| city board of control OF which tho
! Mayor will be Chairman, and the
other members will be the City Clerk
and the city health officer or head
| OF the local Health Department. In
each city the Governor recommends
that boards of three be constituted
for one or more wards. functioninR
under the city board OF control. Each
OF these boards will have a medical
officer who will pass upon the fitness
OF those selected for service.
Forms and instruction for tho reg
istration will be sent directly from
| Washington to each city and county
for distribution. The registration will
show how many men of conscriptior
age there are in the State, how many
have dependents and what thCr oc'
cupations are.
