To Hunt For Cutters.
For every gutter run 10 earth. how
ever, bitter dose Is waiting. The
penalty is one year in prison without
alternative OF fne-then forced reg
istratlon.
Under the plans Of the War DEPART
ment the 100000 honor mem who
registered became civic policemen to-
day TO hunt down evaders. Each man
is asked 20 give information OF any
evasion within his knowledge. PROMPT
action will follow any reports OF eva
sion or false registration.
Here IS the method the War Depart
ment is using 10 get at the evaders:
During today list OF all registrars
viii be posted az each registration
place and every person asked 10 note
any absentees and tip OF the authori-
ties.
Then the lists are being compared
with the lists OF voters in each nre-
cinct kept by the political parties.
These have been placed in the hands
OF the registration boards in most
cases. Other lists Of foreigners are
Kept by the Department OF Labor and
Department OF immigration.
Further the government has three
checks on the ages Of men falslfying
TO evade service: The census. the
birth records at the county seats and
the public school records.
The Department Of Justice has
scores OF agents scattered over the
country engaged in the gutter hunt
Although more than 10 100000 men
placed their names on the lists the
War Department estimated there are
still several thousand evaders. a very
small number compared with those
on the honor roll"
