DEFENSE COUNCIL
GIVES DRAFT TIPS
Statement Issued at Lincoln
Gives Outline of Procedure
That Will Be Followed on
Registration Day.

Lincoln, June 3.-(Special. Mot
withstandipS extensive efforts have
been mad. through the press and
otherwise to instruct the people as to
their duties on June 5, registration
day, the Council OF Defense is deluged
with letters asking for information
covering all sorts OF subjects. and so
the council has, in an attempt to make
the matter as plain as possible, issued
the following statement:
THE president has set the day as
June 5, between the hours OF 7 o'clock
in the morning and o'clock at night,
and every young man who has at
tanned the age OF q and has not yet
reached the age OF 81 is in duty bound
to register For illness or absence
due provis ons are made for registra-
ton. In discussing the matter yes
terday Mr.. Joyce said: 1T must be
understood that dodging registration
is virtually impossible 1t ought to be
understood, too, that there should be
no confusion between registration day
and exemption day. Registration day
comes Tuesday. June 5, and the day
for exemptions has not yet been
named. Later on the president will
designate that day, and until that time
exemptions will not be considered.
Decorate Everywhere.
"Of course, Nebraska is keeping
step with the spirit of the day. 1t will
do as other states are doing. 1t will
be great day--one of the greatest
in our history. Flags and bunting,
bands and parades, children and girls
in gala attire and throngs of enthusi-
astic patriotic people will be every
where.
"The president, the National Coun-
Gil OF Defense and those in charge of
the movement throughout the nation
are earnestly praying that this day
OF registration will be the day of all
days. 1t is recommended that all
registration places be decorated with
the national colors and emblems.
Bands playing patriotic airs, with no
ragtmc music, are desired in all regis
tration places. The young men OF
registration age will be the feature
and the heroes, we hope, Of the pa
rades and should be escorted to the
registration booth amid the din and
noise OF patriotic throngs.
Requests for Badges.
1--WE are receiving many requests
with reference to badges, buttons, etc.
That is generally considered matter
of local taste. The national council,
however, has advised the wearing of
an arm badge not over three inches
wide OF light weight khaki-colored
cotton material. We have heard from
many places in Nebraska where this
form OF badge is adopted and we as
sumo that women's sewing societies
over the state will be turning out
thousands of these badges with which
to label the heroes who register next
Tuesday. Above all it should not be
forgotten that while failure of young
men of the proper age to register will
mean prison sentence and draft
into service afterward, at the same
time those who do register, should
they join the colors, would be carried
on the army rolls as volunteer SOL
diers.
