COMPLETING A VERY
GIGANTIC TASK

The Ocala lawyers. along with the
members OF the bar all over the coun-
try, are now completing the most gil
gantic task ever undertaken by this
great profession. At the call of Pres
dent Wilson. the American bar under.
took the advising of 100000 regis
trants free of cost Up to date the
work has been handled in a most sat
isfactOry manner and within the next
few days the undertaking will be com
pleted In this city there we're some
1000 men wanted advice and they
we're all accommodated by the mem
bers of the hoard named to handle
the situation.
The task grew out OF the military
registrations and the troubles of the
local exemption boards General
Crowder compiled missionaries,
which each registered man and not
in active service. was compelled to
answer. In order that all, rich and
poor alike. might get their just des-
serts and nothing more or less, Pres
iGent Wilson called upon the Ameri-
can bar to tackle the problem. He
asked them to see that all the regis
trants were advised free OF cost con-
corning their legal rights.
The great task was undertaken by
the lawyers. The work is just now
being completed to the satisfaction OF
everybody concerned They received
no pay, they asked no pay; it was
considered a duty the attorneys owed
their country and their fellow citizens.
In many cases all civil business was
suspended in the courts for periods
OF thirty days, or during the time the
questionnaires were being signed. In
all cases boards We're appointed. and
Is many members of the profession
were drafted by the chairmen OF these
boards IS were needed to handle the
work NO registrant will ever suffer
because he failed TO get free legal aid
vice All who were applied were Civ
en- such advice as was needed.
Quite d number of the Ocala law
yers have given almost their entire
time TO this work for several weeks.
