II reglstrars must be sworn.

All registrars must be sworn
The voting place in each precinct
must be prepared for registration.
Full printed instructions covering
every detail of registration will be in
the hands of sheriffs and mayors on
the fifth day after the Presidents
proclamation.
Cities Over $4,000
The mayor of a city containing
more than 10000 INHABITANTS, or the
officials designated by the governor
therein, shall, with approval of the
Governor appoint for each ward or
convenient minor subdivision con-
tanning about 10000 people one reg
istration board, and shall designate
one officer of each board to perform
duties similar to those imposed on
the sheriff, as heretofore outlined.
If the mayor desires, he may ap-
point a central board to coordinate
the work of minor boards.
Duties of Clerks
On the fifth day after the Presi-
dent has issued his proclamation,
clerks of counties and cities of over
10000 must secure n supply of
blanks and copies of the registration
regulations from the sheriff or from
the mayor. Absentees and the sick
will apply to. such clerks to have
their registration cards filled out. In
no case shall such persons be given
registration certificates. They are
to be instructed by the clerk that
the burden is on them to see to it
that the cards reach the registrars
of their home precincts by regis
tration day.
Persons absent from their home
counties may be registered by mail.
If so absent, a man should go to
the clerk of the county where he
may be staying, on the sixth day
after the date of the President's s
proclamation. If he is in a city of
over 10000 population, the city
clerk is the official to whom to ap-
ply. The absentee will be told how
to register, but he must mail his
card in time to roacn his precinct
by registration day.
Persons too sick to present them
selves for registration must send a
competent person to the county or
the issuing of the proclamation.
The clerk will give instructions for
registration.
Homes and Other Institutions
Officials of educational. charitable
and other institutions should apply
for instructions to the county or
city clerk on the sixth day after
the date of the proclamation for
instructions as to convenient
method of registration.
The wardens of jails, penitenti-
aries, and reformatories should ap-
ply to the county or city clerk for
instructions on the sixth day.
Five days after the date of the
Presidents proclamation complete
regulations will be in the hands of
all sheriffs and of the officials of
cities of over 10000 population.
The President is authorized to
call upon all public officers to as
sist in the execution of the law. The
plan is, however, to rely on the peo-
pie for the proper execution of the
law. 1t is expected that patriotic
citizens will offer the.r services free
as registrars. Such services will be
gratefully acknowledged. Volunteers
for this service should communicate

Plan to Bottle Up U-Boats
by Corking Up North
Sea With u. S. Navy

Washington, May 5.-An American
plan for bottling up the German sub
marines in the North Sea is being
urged by the ablests naval strategists
here. The plan has been presented
to the naval experts of the British
commission.
1t is pointed out that what the
British navy is doing is pursuing the
submarine in the waters where the
destruction of shipping is most Sc
we're violates every recognized prin-
ciple of naval strategy. The rule of
naval strategy is that you must
either seek out the enemy fleet and
destroy it, or, flaming that, contain
1t within some limited area, some
port or sea whose mouth or mouths
can be closed.
This is what the English fleet has
done with respect to the surface fleet
of Germany. The battleships, cruis-
ers and destroyers of the enemy are
locked fast in German ports or in
the Baltic Sea. They do not venture
forth.
