In the prosecution Of their work Of
organization and execution. and In
the taking OF affldavits and the is
suance OF orders or decisions. The
Local Boards have Just begun to use
these forms. When the time comes TO
examine The registered men called In
order by the selective draft, they will
nave among their supplies about 100
forms, any one OF which they may

4 There appears to be considerable
confusion concerning the registration
cards which are 10 be marked by the
Local Board In red Ink with numbers
corresponding to the numbers which
are TO be drawn here In Washington
In the draft. This confusion can be
Strengthened out by the understand
Ing on the part OF those holding tho
blue cards with a number In the upper
right hand corner that these cards are
not what the Government calls
tration Certlflcate8-a formal receipt,
M Il were. testlfylng that the holder
has answered the call OF the President
and put himself on record.
The Registration Cards are entirely
different. They were held by tho
Registration Boards and they are the
cards that are to be numbered In red
ink. II IL the duty OF every holder
Of a Registration Certificate 20 keep
posted on the progress of the Belective
draft machinery and when he reads In
the papers that the numbers have
been drawn In Washington he must
go to his local board and learn his
serial humber-or, IL the newspapers
OF his community print the names and
serial numbers In full. he may inform
himself through the press.
NOTICES WILL BE MAILED TO
MEN WHEN THEY ARE DRAWN.
In addition notices will be mailed to
all those drawn for examination.

persons who. as army officials have
been informed, have connived to OBJ
tain exemption for physical disabill-

OF the law for the purpose OF avoiding
military service. It may be stated that
the penalty for conspiracy to fake
