New Yorker, Minus
Registration Card,
Held in Boston

What the young man Of conscription
age who can show no registration
certificate may expect henceforth is IL
lustrated in the case of Warren Heath,
twenty-seven years Old Of 456 River
side Drive. Heath was arrested in
Boston yesterday, not on suspicion that
he was a Stacker, but because he was
exceeding the speed limit in an auto
mobile. One of the first questions put
to him, however, by the policeman who
made the arrest was. where is your
registration certidcate?"
He didn't have one. This fact was
communicated Immediately to United
States Attorney Anderson, who tele-
graphed 20 City Clerk Scully here. ask
ing for rush information as TO whether
Heath had registered preparatory 70
remaining out OF town on Registration
Day. Philip Baer, who has been in
charge of this branch Of the City
Clerks duties, Immediately began a
search Of his files for a record OF such
registration. Unfortunately for Heath
II there is such a record. these files
have not yet been arranged alphabet
cglly, and they contain approximately
1000 names. At late hour yesterday
Dir. Baer had not found Heath's card
among the others.
The formal charge lodged against
Heath in the Boston police court was
that Of operating an automobile while
under the influence Of liquor Mr.
Baer was at loss to kno~ whether the
man vas supposed 70 have registered
in person with him or to have mailed
him his card after registering with the
City Clerk in Boston. In the latter case
il may be weeks before he can find out
whether the card has been received,
since he has received in the mail be-
tween $4,000 and 25.00O cards from New
Workers who we're out Of town. and has
not had time yet to touch them
And none Of these men has yet re-
ceived his registration certificate.
Neither. for that matter, have any Of
the men who registered with the City
Clerk in person. Their cards must
first be sorted and distributed to the
precincts where they have their per-
manent homes. There they must be
numbered in the order Of their receipt.
the same number in each case appear
ing on the registration certificates.
After this process is complete the GER
tifcates will be mailed. An unnum-
bered registration certificate is Of no
value and one with a false number Is
dangerous.
But 1t may take q MONTH will

American Skilled Workmen
To Be Sent to Aid of france
Roth Governments Agree Upon Plan Best Way OF
Afording Prompt Assistance-Needed BACK OF
Fighting Line-All War Industries Short OF Men

dispatch AZ once half a million troops
10 France. these reinforcements would
be used 10 relieve from duty lot OF
French troops that are hardly fit by
reason Of age and other disabilities FOR
irst-line fighting or who are needed
back of the line 20 make repairs and
produce supplies. For this reason our
first troops, while greatly strengthen
ing the opposition 10 Germany, Will not
add especially 70 the difficulty OF main
tanning the armies in France. There
will be about the same number OF men
to munition and supply, although they
will be different men.
Can Produce Same Result in Part
As we have not the trained soldiers
to replace quickly the French artisans
needed in manufacturing and making
repairs, we can produce the same re
suit in part By dispatching skilled
workers TO France in advance Of our
armies TO fill the positions where art
isans are most sorely needed.
Such skilled workers will probably
be dispatched as additional require
ments OF engineers. but they are not
likely to be sent at once. This coun-
try has on its hands now the task OF
getting General Pershing's troops
across the seas, and that, with the
shipment of munitions and supplies for
them, will occupy all the shipping
which is just now available for army
purposes.
After these troops are across the
water the affording directly Of indus
trial aid to France will be the next
step, until such ume as more soldiers
can be sent who will serve the same
end indirectly by releasing French
workmen now at the front for the all
important work of keeping up the war
industries behind the line.
