First "selective" Troops
From City May Number
in Vicinity Of 200.
IMPOSSIBLE TO
SET EXACT FIGURE
Date Will be Fixed in Near
Future for all Males to tell
Ages and Circumstances

Although special Instructions have
not been received as yet, he county
authorities r expecting to receive
word from the government at an
early date on the curse they are to
pursue in carrying out the plan to
draft.
A regular registration day to be
held within a months time will be
fixed by the United States govern
ment, 1t Is said, when every male citi-
zen of Grand Forks. as we'll as all
other communities in the country, will
be required to appear at his polling
place and give his name, 6 and ad-
dress.
Asks Cooperation.
Cooperation is asked Of city. coun-
~ and state authorities in making up
the local and state quotas Of men for
the new ''selective draft" army.
BY failing to register, however, men
will not escape service. and a penalty
will be axed for failure to register or
for giving false information. Officials
will have the poll lists to go by.
Assessors at Work.
Already the township assessors Of
Grand Forks county are making q
record of all the men in the city and
county OF military age, but it will be
impossible to ascertain the possible
number who may go to war until a
complete has been made and
the matters of 6 limits for service
gress.
Eligibles not IN the poll lists will
be listed by means still to be made
public. Those within the prescribed
age limits will be listed. those exempt
because of dependent families or be-
cause Of valuable service already be-
ing performed will be stricken off,
and the 'selective draft" made from
the remaining list.
Number is Problematical.
It is expected that Grand Forks
the first call of drafted men and
probably a much larger number. This
will not include those who are already
members Of the national guard. The
number to be obtained from the coun-
ty as q whole is altogether PROFILE
NAUTICAL. as a large percentage will re-
main at home because Of their being
engaged in agricultural pursuits.
