FOUR RAeY REGIsTRANTS
 ARE REPORTED DELINQUENT

Four of the June registrants have not returned their questionnaires, stated the secretary of the exemption board Tuesday. This is just as i'm portant to the registrant as the reg istration. It is a violation of the mili- tary regulations to hold the ques- tionnaire. Perhaps the delinQuents do not know that this is necessary, but unless this requirement. is met the registrant so offending is subject to penalties.
 The secretary stated that those who had failed to turn in their ques- tionnaires are Constante Ca1ghero, of Morenci: James F. Buckley, Metcalf; John Schaffer and Nicolas Cassares, of Clifton.
 Shaffer was given permission to enlist in the navy, but the board has not been officially informed of his en- listment, and the record shows him to be delinquent. If it is true that he has really enlisted in the army, it is the duty of his friends or relatives to so inform the exemption board, to the end that his record may be cleared.
 If it is through ignorance of the regulations that the others have fail ed to return their questionnaires they should not neglect this matter any loneer. All of these men will stand in Class I until their uuestionnaires have been filed and their names properly classified.

RECORD SHOWS DEsERTER;
 NAMED AS SOLDIER VOTER

Many of Greenlee's registrants of the June 1917 registration, have not cleared up their records, and they stand classed as deserters on the records here. These so classed have been published, and at the same time the board informed the Copper Era that perhaps many had enlisted, but the board had no record.
 When the request was sent out for the address of soldiers so that the official ballot might be sent them to enable them to vote in the primary and general election, the name and address of R. Wash Isbell was fur nished the Recorder. Isbell's name has been published as a deserter, so the secretary of the board states, and he is at loss to know why the sol dier's relatives have not supplied him with the information that he is in the service, so that his record can be cleared The mere fact of giving his address at some camp is not suffi- cient to do this. for the board must know where he enlisted in order that his record of such enlistment may be obtained before he can be cleared at this board.
 Greenlee's exemption board does not wish for any soldier who has enlist ed to remain on the records here as deserter, when he is in the service, and if others so classed will have their relatives or friends furnish the board with the information, in order that their enlistment may be verified, the board will take pleasure in clear ing their name of the stigma of be- ing classed as a deserter.
