br Is. Each man will have seven
days In which to fill out answers to
the many questions asked and return

Failure to answer the Question
naire and return it to the board with

a mans right to claim exemption, re-
gaPdless of whether he did not re-
ceive the Qustionnaire.
Hence it is urgent that every reg
istered man whose address has been
changed should, for his own protec-
tion, at once notify his local board Of
his change in address.
So important is this matter con-
sidered by Provost Marshal General
Crowder, at Washington, D. c., that
he has issued the following instruc-
tions relative to giving 1t full public
ity:
please cause the broadest and
most extensive and continuous pub

tant General, local and district boards
and the newspapers, and by all other
possible means of warning to all reg
istered men who my have changed

are registered, and furnish their
present addresses so that Question
naires, which will begin to be mailed

trants without delay.
"Registrants are bound by law to
keep themselves advised of all pro-
ceedings in respect of them, and fall
ur to do so may result in their losing
right to claim exemption or dis
charge"
