EN>1S~S~S
draft subjects in this town who shirk-
ed their registration duty. This ex-
ception is a foreign-born resident of
Georgetown who in the earlier census
gave his age as "a. Last week he
declared to the registration board that
therein he made q mistake, his real
age being 20. If the latter statement
is false proof of the falsity will prob
ably be difficult to establish. The case
will be reported to the state authori-
ties. 1t has been learned that sever
al Fsubjects who are voters in this town
AMI therefore should have registered
here did in fact register in towns
where they are temporarily residing,
an error on their part but not an Of
fence calling for prosecution.
Yesterday Town Clerk Sanford re-
ceived from the War Board at Hart
ford telegram announcing that the
period of grace allowed for delin-
uuents to register had expired and
that all shfrkers would now be ar
rested. 1t further stated that the
quotas apportioned among the states
would be on the basis of the last ma
tional census and not on the basis or
II Selective draft registration. The
