GREGORYEXPECTS
10000 SLACkERS
Attorney General Ready tc
Prosecute Eligibles Who
Fail to Register.

With registration day only twenty-four
hours on, the Department OF Justice last
night issued Its final warning against at
tempts to evade the law.
That such efforts, as well as any at
tempt to use force to prevent registra-
tion, would be firmly dealt with" was
the declaration in an oficial statement
issued by Attorney General Gregory.
In. its announcement, the Department
frankly admitted that ''in almost every
community there will be persons who will
attempt to evade registration" and that
much of the anti-draft propaganda has
been spread by downright disloyal cit-
zens. many of whom are still enjoying
liberty in the nation TO which they either
have been traitors or whose hospitality
they have abused.
Have German Names
It was pointed cut at the Department
that OF the eleven arrests made in Gin
cinnati on Saturday, ten of the prisoners
had German names. This single instance
Is taken as evidence Of the wholesale
which is being carried on
IN this country and which Is fiourishing
especially in the Central and Far West
States, despite the governments efforts
to stamp II out.
that there probably would be not less
than 1000 men who would fail to regis
ter or attempt to ayade registration.
Inc planS lne 1OT Oe3l-
ing with this large number OF cases have
all been made. Arrests will follow in
every Instance, and there will be no court
delay, as failure TO register will be an
open and shut after in every case. I'm
mediate draft of all those physically cap
able probably will follow. The others win
be imprisoned. Sentence on the drafted
ones will be suspended until after the
war.
Lack OF prison space for the number
of persons who will be convicted of at
tempt to evade the law will be met by
the establishment of interment camps,
il Is believed.
Attorney General Gregory's statement
follows:
'T anticipate no. resort to force TO pre-
vent registration; If any Individual should
attempt it, he will be promptly dealt with,
Attention Is called to the fact that
more than 100000 men, according to
census estimates, are subject to regis
tration- The failure of one man in
100 to do so would make a considerable
total. II the early returns show that the
number registered does not equal the pre-
hminary estimates, II will not indicate
that the law has not been generally
obeyed. Those who attempt to Nevade will
be promptly punished and compelled 10
perform the service required by the law.
1t is the duty of this department 10
prosecute these evaders, and 1t is pre-
pared to do So"
