Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-13

 lance of the "crowding" so apparent in the initial registration of June 5, 1917. The exact number registered will not be known until late today, ac- cOrding to Ray B. Krebs, last night.
 Though the COchise county supplies failed to arrive, the county board bor- rowed sufficient supplies from adja- cent counties of the state and there was no shortage For a few hours the local boards ran out of cards, but this soon was remedied.
 Hundreds of loyal helpers turned up at the various registration places ask ing to be assigned work as clerks As a result the registration force was ample to cover the needs of the situa- ton and no one had to wait. There were more than 100 of these volunteer clerks in the Warren district and over 300 in the county
 Early in the day came a rush of men of all nationalities anxious to get the registration process over with as soon as possible. As rapidly as they arrived they were attended to. In the entire district there was no attempt to evade the duty of registering, though in a few instances, through ig- nOrance or transformation, foreigners did not believe they had to register. An amusing instance of this kind was seen in the Lowell precinct when a wooden legged Mexican had to be argued with for some time before he could be convinced that every man. whether whole or in pieces, must reg faF ha ha same time it was explained to him that the double circumstances of his being a foreign citizen and a cripple pTecluded his being called for service.
 Another foreigner when questioned as to his nearest relative, blushed and stammeFed out in broken English that he had no relatives now, but he had asked the girl and hoped she would marry him in a, few months.
 An incident which aroused the ang- CT of the county board as well as the officers in Douglas took place when Mexicans reported that they had been sent by others of their race to the Mexican consulate in Douglas and there informed that they must have a certificate of Mexican citizenship
 
 certificate they must pay S3. The consulate did a thriving business in the early hours of the day, but as soon as this practice was discovered. a deputy sheriff was placed at the door to stop other Mexicans and inform them that the certificates were in no wise necessary. MT. Krebs related this incident last evening and said it was being investigated further
 The office of the county recorder in Tombstone will be a busy place the remainder of this month Additional clerical help. including men drafted for the work. will be engaged in sort ing the registration cards and filing them in the fireproOf steel cabinet provided for the purpose.
 QuestiOnnaries will be forwarded to the registrars about October 1. l. is Mir. Krebs' present intention to send out about 500 on that day and to continue sending them out as rapid ly as possible thereafter. The ques- must be returned within seven days to the office of the county recorder. They will be studied and of registrants will be made.
 According to present plans the class one men will de subjected to physical examination about October 10.
 Between October 1 and the day of the first call for physical examination. the board probably will have winnow- ed out fairly well the foreigners, those having dependents and those engaged in essential occupations.
