the running of side track from

Urged to Report.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 13.-
Governor Cornwell has sent to the
newspapers of the state the following
message:
The Provost Marshal General adj
vises me that quotas are to be assigned
to tie several states in proportion to
Their population as determined by the
Bureau of the Census and not in pro-
portion to tho registration. The result
is that every person who has failed to
register is seriously increasing the bur-
den of those who have registered. Am
pie notice and every opportunity tas
now been given, and the authorities at
Washington say theer is no longer any
argument upon which the conduct Of
non registrants can be condoned and
that the period CT leniency has now
passed
My attention has been directed to
paragraph sixteen CT the Registration
Regulations, which reads as fellows:
"Police officers of any grade or
class, Of town, township, county or
state, and all officers or agents Of

in the execution of this law. 1t is
especially made the ruty Of such
police offihers to see that all male
persons within the designated
ages have registered and to re-
port those who have not registered
to the proper registration board for
such action as may be necessary.
Police officers may require any
person subject to registration to
exhibit his registration certifi-
cate"
l have been directed to call upon
state, county and municipal officers to
make every effort to detect and arrest
persons, subject to registration, and
who have no registered, and to bring
each case promptly to the attention Of
the nearest representative Of the de-
partment Of justice.
I regret exceedingly that any per
son in West Virginia should SO lack in
patriotism as to fail to present him,
self for registration, and in failing to
register he not only fails to do his own
duty, as a citizen, but he increases the
burden Of the patriotic citizen who has
registered. To equalize this burden
and to the end that the Consumption
end selective Draft Act may be equal
ly and impartially applied, now call
upon all persons who have not regis
tered for any reason to forthwith pre-
sent themselves to the Registration
Board Of their respective county or
city and be registered and I earnestly
request all registrants anG coed citi,
2ens to assist in bringing non regis
trants to the attention of the police.
In ease of doubt as to the age Of per-
sons who have not registered, the tab
ulated record of the political organiza'
tions and other local records should be
consulted, the department Of justice
will at once inaugurate vigorous, ag
gressive and effective enforcement Dt

law against all who have ty their fail.
