100000 REGISTER
FIRST DAY IN STATE
MILITARY CENSUS
Rush Swamps. Registrars in
Many Sections, but There
Is Little Disorder.

The taking OF the New York state
military census and inventory OF
war strength and resources slowed
up In the morning hours to-day be-
cause the unexpected rush OF aypli-
cants for enrolment yesterday ex-
hausted the visible supply OF blanks
certificates and notices OF liability
to military service TO the State.
On the desk Of Il. z. Goodrich.
director OF the city enrolment, to-
day were sheafs Of kilograms ask
ing for renewed supplies Of blanks
and more volunteer clerks. In many
instances census agents went 70 other
census stations and requisitioned
blanks from those who had a sur
plus.
The total registration OF yesterday
was estimated from the figures at
hand at 100000. The total for to-day
is expected to be nearly as large.
Police Commissioner Woods, after
Investigating the complaints OF
women enumerators at stations In
crowded tenement districts that the
police allowed curious crowds TO over
run the stations and tangle up the
work, ordered a larger attendance OF
police and moro vigilance in keeping
the stations open for business.
Much delay Ia caused because per-
sons seeking 20 enroll have ignored
the injunction that they make sure
they know the number OF their As
aembly District when they apply for
enrolment outside OF that district.
daven the enumerators forget TO re-
qulre this information, and as a re-
suit thousands OF blanks must be re-
ferred 10 the experts OF the Bureau
Of Elections, already overburdened
with canvassing the results OF the
Federal selective draft registration.
At noon IL was announced that hall
a million blanks dad been procured
from tho State Printer and there
would be an adequate supply from
now on in all the all-day places and
in all the schoolhouses In which sta
lions are opened after school hours
che big station at No. Warrer
street, opened TO relieve the head
quarters OF the pressure Of individua
applications, was closed until nool
for lack OF blanks.

INSANITY DECREASES.

The striking statement appears in a
news item in the Savannah Morning
News that insanity in Chatham coun-
ty has decreased since the more rigid
enforcement of the prohibition law.
This is undoubtedly a contributing
factor for good which has resulted
from the determination to make Geor-
gia and her component parts a really
prohibitive state. The News says:
Cases of insanity during the pc
Rod from May l, 1916, to Dec. 81.
1916 compiled from the records of
the Court of Ordinary, show a de-
crease of nearly one-half from the
number for a similar period Of
one year previous, when prohibib-
itory regulations against intoxi-
eating liquors were not so strictly
enforced in Savannah.
An accurate comparison cannot be
drawn between Chatham and Sumter
equity because of size and attitude to
wards the first prohibition law.
Still, the good people of this coun-
~, can greet a note of warning be-
cause of the conditions said to exist
in the selling of substitutes, vicious
connections and a popular drink now
styled "whackum" in this section.
