proclamation
Lansing, Mich, Nov. "a, 191

LdIlSiHS, luiCH., NoN. "a, Iolis
To the People of Michigan:
The burden of carrying to sue
cessful conclusion the great task of
selecting and mobilizing Michigan's
quota of the first contingent of the
National Army has heretofore rested
upon the shoulders of a comparative
ly few. citizens of the State. Mem
bers of Local and District Boards
have freely given their time and work
in many cases emitting great personal
sacrifice. We are now called upon to
make a complete inventory and clas-
sifcation of all registrants who have
not already been selected for service.
This work is to be completed within
a period of sixty days. To accom-
plish this successfully requires the
whole-hearted support and coopera-
ton of every American.
l, therefore, as Governor of Michi-
gan, do hereby appeal to all citizens
of Michigan to answer the call of the
President of the United States, and
to assist Local and District Boards
by proffering such service and such
material conveniences as they can Of
fer, and by appearing before the
boards to give such information as
will be useful in classifying regis
trants. / especially urge school
teachers and others of clerical ability
to at once report to local boards to
assist in the work of preparing ques-
tionnaires.
Men of the legal profession should
offer themselves as associate mem
bers Of the Legal Advisory Boards to
be provided in. each community for
their rights and obligations and of as
sisting them in the preparation of
their answers to the questions which
all ment subject to draft are required
to submit.
Doctors should identify themselves
with the Medical Advisory Boards
which are to be constituted in the var
Fious districts throughout the state
for the purpose of making systema-
tic physical examination of the regis
trants. ~
1t should be the pride Of the citi-
zens of Michigan that the execution
Of the Selective Service Act in Michi-
gan be carried on with the least pos
sible administrative expense. Every
dollar saved at home is one more dol
lar for the firing line.
l trust that this appeal will meet
with an enthusiastice response on the
part of the citizens Of Michigan, and
that all will avail themselves of the
privilege of participating in the ac-
complishment of this great patriotic
undertaking.
ALBERT E. SLEEPER,
Governor.
