urge men of the legal profession to
offer themselves as associate MEM
bers of the legal advisory boards to
be provided in each community for
the purpose OF advising registrants
of their rights and obligations and of
assisting them in the preparation of
their answers to the questions which
all men subject to the draft are re-
quired to submit"
Judge Kunkel said that he had no
doubt of immediate response from
Harrisburg members of the bar. He
quoted a recent statement from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to the
effect: I'VE have not yet given the
legal profession definite place in the
organized ranks of the nation, and
what is here proposed offers a chance
that should be welcomed enthusias-
tically by every lawyer in particular
and by the whole legal profession.
The most direct and practical way to
insure having a responsible and effec-
tive central unit in each community
would be to include in the permanent
membership of each legal advisory
board. as executive head thereof, the
county Judge, or u Judge of a court
of similar Jurisdiction. and by this
means to provide powerful stimulus
to the efforts of the young men of
the profession.
Especial appeal will be made to
every member of the legal profession
to give his services to this work, and
iJ is proposed that the permanent
board shall maintain a sort of roster
of lawyers so that there will always
be present at the office of the board
a force of competent legal advisors
to whom registrants may apply for
advice on any matter concerning
their rights and duties under the Sc
lective Service Law. No more i'm
portant post could be offered a law
yer at this time than the active duty
of assisting in the raising of our
armies, and in this way can be pro-
vided a very necessary auxiliary of
the selective service system without
making any demand on the time of
any lawyer to which any patriotic citi-
zen would hesitate to respond. Dur
ing the period of classification the
duties of these boards will be rather
heavy, but after that period I hardly
think that much will remain for them
to do"

1t was also decided at the meeting

the lawyers of Harrisburg. And they
do not get one cent for their serv-
ice either.
Many Mistakes
That large numbers of the men
registered for war service are unable
to fill out correctly the question
naires now being mailed, was the
opinion to-day of the three local
boards
Every one of the questionnalres re-
turned so far to the third district
board. it was said to-day must be re-
turned for an affidavit. This. mem
bers of the board. say, is due to care
less reading of the QUESTIONABLE.
John C. Orr. chairman of the board,
advised the men to get into touch
with the legal advisory boards named
by the Governor.
Another warning that men who
have moved and failed to send in
their new addresses so that they may
get their questionnaires also was
sounded by Mr.. Orr. Ten of the
pamphlets already have been returned
to the board because the registrant
has moved. The board is preparing
in these cases to place the registrant
in the first class for immediate serv-
ice. The registrant also is liable to
n years Imprisonment.
Names of delinquents for the third
board to-day were given out as fol-
lows: Napoleon Garmis, 1107 North
