ALL LREG|STRANTS MUST KEEP
 POSTED
(By Associated Press)

JUNEAU, Dec. Ex-Governor Strong hss requested that the following in formation be given publicity: All re gistrants who have changed their post office address since registering should immediately communicate with the To cal boards having jurisdiction of their cards giving present address, SC questionaires will reach them with out delay Registrants are bound by law to keep themselves advised of all proceedings in respect to them and failure to do so may result in their losing the right to claim exemption or discharge.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-12-17

The new regulations not only re peal all preceding regulations. but cancel all exemptions and discharges which have been granted by local boards under the present system. This will restore every man to his original status, and the local boards will send a questionaire to every man who is not in the service.
 The completion by the registrant of this document is the first great stage of the new system, and the difficult ties which will attend it are fully re- cognized by the provost marshal gen. eral, who has begun the mobilization of the legal talent of the country to enable everyone who seeks it to re- ceive aid in the preparation of his questionnaire.
 Under the new regulations the To- cal boards will sent out five per cent of their questionnaires each day for a period covering 20 days. This meth cd of distribution will allow the local boards, with the aid of their legal ad- visory boards and other volunteers, to instruct, complete and file each days questionnaire without the confusion and congestion which would attend the effort to require a large number.
 The new regulations also contain a complete set of the forms to be used by the local boards, every form being printed in full, and many are com pleted to serve as models.
 A local board will actually use 19 of the proposed forms. Examination shows that most of these are postal card forms and require but a word or two to complete them, thus simplify ing to a large degree the work of the present system which requires ap- proXimateIy 180 complicated forms.
 The completion of the question naire by the registrant will not re- quire as much work as did the simple claim for dependency under the old system. In it the registrant must make full statement of all the facts upon which he will rely to secure de- ferred classification and upon which the local board will be expected to fix his class.
