Figures Giving Number of Registrants
According to Age Shown More at Age
of As Than Any Other-Total for
Each Town in County.

When the last registrant in Brattleboro
had signed his name just before o'clock
last night the total number for the day
was found to be sos, which was some
what under the estimated total.
After noon, when the number was
about 400 as reported in The Reformer
Yesterday, the registrars were fairly busy
for while and then there was more or
less monotony until after supper, when
there was another period of activity.
During the last hour but very few men of
the new draft age appeared in Festival
hall, where the registration took place.
a question came up in the afternoon
about two young men whom it was
thought should have registered year ago
last June, when the first registration
took place, but it was found that they
were entirely correct Those included at
that time were those between the ages
of q and 81, but those who had reached
their 3lst anniversary were not included,
whereas Yesterday those who were 40
were included if they had not become 46.
The young men in question. therefore,
could not have registered year ago last
June under the law.
In the list of S05 registrants there are
y declarants. that is, men who have
taken out their first papers in the process
of naturalization and declared their in
| tention of becoming American citizens.
Two of these are Austrians.
There are 81 non-declarants, eight of
whom are Austrians. These eight are
alien enemies and the only alien enemies
who registered yesterday, there being nc
| German non -declarants in the list, or Ger
man declarants either, for that matter.
/ The p declarants and the countries OF
