the first American port. In case the

with the consuls unless they intend to
become naturalized in the foreign cou1-
try.
Married men who desire to be ex.
empt from draft must state their de.
sire and give reasons. Unless this is
done, even married men will be in.
cluded in the registration. After all
exemptions are made, names will be
selected from wheel and the men thus
chosen will serve where the govern.
ment directs.

and mechanics will be put at their par.

HOW s1.ACKERS
WILL BE HANDLED
All officers of the federal govern
ment upon whom will rest the responsi-
bility of investigating, arresting and
prosecuting slackers are prepared to
act against those who fail to register
for selective service on June s.
While it is believed that every person
who has attained the age Of 81 years
and is not over 80 years old will com.
ply with the presidents proclamation
by registering for military service on
June 5, the governments officials are
prepared to act against those who de-
liberately refuse. .
When asked as to the probable course
which would be followed by his Office
in regard to slackers, United States
District Attorney Tedrow said.
'1 don't believe there are going to
be any slackers in Colorado. had
