NATIONAL GUARD
OCCUPY TENTS
FEW QUARTERS ARE
NOW AVAILABLE
No Appropriation by Congress to
House the Guardsmen. and Only
Sixteen CantOnments for the Con-
scripted Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June S.
Many of the National Guardsmen
mobilized by the government have
been compelled to take up quarters
In tents instead of wooden buildings,
causing considerable complaint. Lack
of funds is given by Secretary Baker
as the reason for this. Congress hav-
ing appropriated seventy-seven mill
lions for the construction of sixteen
-cantonments, which, because Of the
late date at which the money was ap-
propriated and the lack of competent
workmen to construct the buildings,
the not yet built, and the intended
for housing the half million men to
be raised by conscription. No other
funds are available for erecting build
ings to house the guardsmen. and af-
ter the buildings at present available
for the purpose are filled the surplus
must necessarily occupy tents.

REGISTRATION
OFFICERS NAMED
MARSHAL, CLERK AND
HEALTH COMMISSIONER
Are Named as Board of Registration
Supervisors-Mayor Clerk and the
trars in Incorporated Towns.

Governor J. F. A. Strong has Is
sued to the several Clerks OF the
Court, United States Marshals and
Assistant Health Commissioners OF
the Territory a notification to the ef-
feet that these officials have been by
him appointed to constitute board
of Registration Supervisors for the
taking of registration under the sell
ective draft or conscription law.
In judicial divisions where by rea-
son of absence or for other reasons,
the assistant health commission can
not act upon the board, the United
StatNe Marshal and the Clerk of the
Court are directed to Immediately re-
commend to the governor the name
of some reputable physician to act
upon said board.
1t will be the duty of the regis
tration supervisors to name one OF
more registration officers for each pre-
cinct in their respective judicial di-
visions andto arrange for regfstra-
tion Offices.
1t is desired that volunteer ser
vices on the part of the registrars be
utilized to the fullest extent. as il
is desirable that the registration in
the territory should be at the mini
mum of expense.
While only general instructions
have been received by the Governor
from the Provost Marshal General
it is expected the complete instruc-
tions and the necessary blanks fol
registration purposes will arrive al
an early date. All persons who have
passed their 21st. birthday and have
rot yet attained their 31st birthday
are required to register. A wilful neg
lect or refusal of any eligible person
to register on the date to be fixed
constitutes crime punishable by i'm
prisonment for one year without the
alternative of fine, and all such will
he prosecuted. Persons sick or un-
avoidabfy away from home may reg.
lister by mail by obtaining, in ad
vance. a card prepared for this pur
pose, and mailing it to the board OF
supervisors in their home town or ju
dicial division.
The Mayor. City Clerk and Health
officer of each incorporated town will

zion for their respective towns. Out
side OF incorporated towns the board
of registration supervisors shall have
