DEFINES DUTIES
 FOR THOSE WHO
 ARE REGISTERED
Every Reasonable Question That Could Be Asked Is Here
 Answered Explicitly

The provost marshal general of the war department has issued the following information for per- sons registered:
 District Boards.
 In every federal judicial dis trlct there are one or more dis trict boards having appellate jur- isdiction over a number of local boards and having original juris- dlction of claims for exemption on industrial grounds. If you in- tend to make claim on indus- trial grounds, including agricul- ture, learn what board to apply to.
 Red Ink Serial Numbers.
 Every board has numbered the cards in it's Jurisdiction with red ink in a series running from l to the number representing the to- tai number of cards in its juris- dlction. Lists showing the names of persons in the jurisdiction of each board and the red ink num- Der of each card are open to in- SpectiOn at the office of each board.
 Inspect the list and inform yourself of your red ink serial number.
 Order of Liability.
 These red ink numbers are to be drawn by lot to determine the order in which registered per- sons are to be called by the vari- ous local boards. As soon as the drawing is complete lists showing the order in which these red ink numbers are drawn will be pub. lished in the press, and will be posted at the office of each local board.
 Go to your local board and find out the order in which you stand for call.
 Call for Examination
 As soon as the quotas are assigned to each state and each board, each board will call upon persons whose cards are in it's Jurisdiction, instructing them to present themselves for examina- tion. This call will be posted at the office of the local board and the papers requested to print it. A notice will also be mailed to you. but the posting of the list at the office of the board will be deemed sufficient notice to. charge you with the duty of pre- senting yourself. The law, there- fore, makes it your duty to in- form yourself when you are. called. The mailing is for your convenience, but if the letter never reaches you, you can not make that an excuse.
 Watch the lists at the office of your board and see when you are called for examination.
 Physical Examination
 You must report for physical examination on the day named in your call.
 (a) If you are found physically disqualified the board will give you certificate which will ex- plain to you what your further duties are.
 (b) If you are found physically qualified and file claim for ex- emption within seven days after your call you will be given ten days after filing your claim of ex- emption to file proof in support of your claim of exemption. See (VID below.

U.S.MARSHAL TANNER IN
 WRANGELL
Says Any Person Ma king the Slightest As persion Against the Government Will Be Placed Behind the Bars

AAASS0 0NSNSS> A'As~A o@A>~ J. M. Tanner and Hon. John T. Reed of Juneau arrived in Wrangell Teus. day on a Forest service gas boat from Petersburg in charge of Forest Ranger Allen.
 When seen at the Wran- gell hotel Tuesday after noon Marshal Tanner said:
 "As of course you know. our trip is in the interest of the registra- tion. Slackers or any persons making seditious utterances will receive our prompt, but not very courteous attention.
 II want every loyal citizen in Southeastern Alaska to know that the United States Mal.shal's Office is on the job to take care of the case of any person who makes an un . American utter ance. At present l have jail room for 200 persons and could easily provide more room if it were necessary. And when l lock a man up I believe the chances will be good for his remaining a prisoner until the war is over. The man who by word or action hampers the government in the least during the war de- serves worse than im- prisonment.
 "l have given all my deputies strict orders in the matter of handling any cases of DISLOYALTY in their respective locali- ties, and l make the un- qualified statement that if any one of my deputies anywhere in my division fails to do his duty he will be replaced by some one, who, like myself, will not hesitate a mo- mont to put behind the bars ANY PERSON MAKING THE SLIGHTEST ASPERSI0N AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
 Our itinerary will cover Southeastern Alas ka pretty completely. When we get back to Ju- neau there will be scarce ly a village that we have not visited. In South eastern Alaska there are some of as loyal Ameri- cans as l have ever known, and, speaking generally, the people of this region are loyal to the government. But un- fortunately there are re- ported to be some excep- tions. The names of sev- eral persons in this local ity suspected of being pro-German are in my hands. and if they are heard to make any dis. loyal utterances they will most certainly land in jail regardless of who they are. 1 have been United States Marshal before. l have locked up a great many men in my time, and oftimes with some degree of sympathy. But l could lock up the man who would hamper the government in it's prose- cution of war with al- most as much satisfac- tion as I would take a shot at the kaiser if l had a chance"

Upon receipt of the above news Nicholas Nussbaumer of Wran- gell wired MT. Weigle that he wanted to go to France with him. It develops that MT. Nuss- baumer recently tried to enlist in the First regiment of the Engi- neer Corps of the Forest Service at Portland. At that time he was advised that the First regiment was almost completed, but that his application for enlistment would be accepted. MT. Nuss- baumer then filled out a blank form and forwarded to Portland in the hope that he was not too late for the First regiment.
 The Second regiment is unable to accept Mir. Nussbaumer unless he can withdraw his application for enlistment in the First regi- ment. There is little doubt that when the circumstances are ex- plained MT. Nussbaumer will be permitted to withdraw his first application for enlistment. There is now a good chance of his go. ing to France in the Second regi- ment with the popular Alaska Forest Supervisor as his captain.

 Again a few days ago, he re- ceived a wire to the effect that there was a possibility that he would be called upon and advising him to be examined by a local physician to determine his phys ical condition.
 In a letter received some weeks since, MT. Weigle was asked if in the event he would be called to the front, if he would accept the captaincy of the second company Engineer Corps of the forestry department. To which Weigle's characteristic reply was: "I am ready for anything. "-Progres. sive-Miner.
