Registered Men Are Warned Against
Danger Of Failing to Answer Prompt
" All Demands Made Upon Them
by Gov't.--over 5000 Here.

County and city local draft boards
today began the final work of getting
the QUESTIONABLE ready for the 5000
registered men in Kenosha county and
all of these documents will have been
mailed by week from today.
The work Of getting out the vast
number of blanks is monumental one
and patriotic call is being made for
help. This morning members of the
High School faculty and number of
students responded to the call and
started the work of addressing the
ore than FIVE thousand envelopes. In
tie meantime the members of the two
boards are carefully looking up adj
dresses of registered men with a view
of avoiding as far as possible mistakes
in sending out the questionable.
It is expected that there will be
many changes in the post Office address
Of registered men in Kenosha and 1t is
thought possible that it will be impos-
sible to locate some ten per cent Of the
men registered. The post office depart
ment has been drafted by the local
boards to aid in this work and every
possible effort will be made to locate
every man to whom the questionable is
addressed and see that it is delivered
to him.
The local boards today received the
following proclamation from Governor
Philip which is addressed to all men
who have registered under the selectiye
draft law:
Notice to Registrants.
Registrants must return the ques-
tionnaire within SEVEN DAYS after
date of mailing or of posting of mum
Der Of registrant at Office Of local board.
1t is in the interest, therefore, of
each registrant to see that the local
board has his correct address.
Failure by any registrant to perform
any duty prescribed by the selective
service law or by the rules and regula-
tions, at or within the time required
is a misdemeanor punishable by i'm
prisonment for one year, and may, re-
suit in loss Of valuable rights and i'm.
mediate induction Of such registrant
into military service.
Failure of the registrant or any other
person concerned to claim and exercise
any right or privilege on the day OF
within the time authorized by the rules
and regulations shall be considered a
waiver of such right or privilege, and
shall foreclose such person from there
after claiming the same, subject only
to the privilege granted by the rules
and regulations to apply for an exten
sion of time.
All registrants and other persons are
required and strictly enjoined to ex-
anime from time to time said notice
Form 1902, posted by the local board,
and the classification list, Form 1000
upon which important dates are to be
entered, in order to be informed of the
time for the performance of any duty
or the exercise of any right or priv
lege; and it is the duty of every reg.
istrant concerning whom any notice is
I.posted, but who for some reason has
not received the QUESTIONABLE or notice
as the case may be to apply to his To-
| cal board for copy thereof. Failure
to receive notice or QUESTIONABLE will
not excuse the registrant from perform
ing any duty within the time Limit, nor
shall it be in itself ground for extern
sion of time.
