STACKER
SPIRIT
In WEST?
,Usi,ed Pres. Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, June II. -
Slackers will be Jailed by tonight.
The government. on the trail OF
those who have failed to register.
will make Wholesale roundup
today. In the far west the gov
eminent sweep will probably be
the greatest inasmuch as western
returns show figures far below
the census estimates.
Total registration for selective
service viii be approximately 81
$50 900, according to received fig
ures given out today by Provost
Marshal General Crowder.
This number Is more than :
OO0,0 goo below the original census
estimate.
Revision of the figures was
made when the provost marshal
generals office realized that in
using census figures officials did
not take into account the fact that
about 100000 men of eligible age
already have volunteered for serv-
ice in the regular army. national
guard, navy and marine corps.
immigration Stopped.
Another factor In the revision
was belated realization that cen
sus bureau estimates pre-
yious to the war-did not take
into account the fact that in the
past three years immigration has
practically stopped.
While officials realize there are
still probably many thousands OF
slackers. they pointed out, follow
ing revision of the estimates,
that the number will be far less
than at first expected.
While registration in many re-
spects has been satisfactory, the
response OF the west has been
amazing to men in charge of the
registration.
1t has shown Stacker spirit"
registration officials say, beyond
the comprehension OF even the
most ardent peace-at-any-price ad-
yOcates.
Among states reporting SO far
the state of Washington is the
lowest in the proportion of regis
tration to the census estimate.
with 500 per cent. Ohio stands
first with 113 per cent.
Regardless of slackers, how
ever, America has sufficient men
right now to turn out an army OF
100000 men without claim or
hint of exemption.
The response of America as a
whole is regarded in military cir
cles as most gratifying.
