Those regulations have the force
and effect of law, and all persons re-
quired by those regulations to be reg

claim any right or privilege in respect
of any registrant, are charged with
knowledge OF the provisions hereof!
Failure by any person required to be
registered to perform any duty pre-
scribed by these regulations Is a mis-.
demeanor, punishable by imprison-
ment for one year, and may result in
the loss of valuable rights and priyi-
leges and an immediate induction into
the military service.
Local police authorities in all parts
of the country will cooperate with
the government in the enforcement
of order on registration day. Regu-
lations prescribed by the President
and sent ITO graft officials pf the
various states, contain the following
provisions:
On the day SET for registration, all
Federal marshals, deputy marshals
and investigating agents. and all po-
lice officers-state, county, township,
municipal and town =. Of whatever
grade or class. shall hold themselves
in, readiness to render whatever as
sistance may be necessary in preserv-
ing order at places of registration
and in assisting in bringing about q
complete registration.
All marshals, deputy marshals, in
vestigating agents and police officers
shall examine the registration lists
and report without delay to the local
boards the names of any persons
known by them to have failed to reg
lister themselves when liable to regis
tration; and it shall be the duty of
local boards to report to the proper
United States District Attorney all
cases coming to their attention of per-
sons who have failed to present them
selves for registration as required by
law.
Police officers may require any
person subject to registration to ex-
hibit his registration certificate.
In every case in which duly des-
ignated officer or agent refuses or
fails to act, the Governor, Adjutant
General, or member of local board
will proceed at once to name another
officer or agent for such duty, and
will bring the fact of such refusal
or failure, and the circumstances con-
nected Herewith, to the attention Of
the proper United States District At
torney, with view to the institution
of prosecution of such officer or agent,
as provided in section of the act
approved May 1S, 1917.

this state shall accord the fullest
measure of cooperation in the carry
