z SINCE JUNE
9TH? REGISTER
SATURDAY

The President has proclaimed Sat-
urday, August oath, registration day
for all young men who have reached
the age OF twcnty-one between the
dates OF June 5th, the last registration
day. and August oath. If you are p
and unregistered you must register
at the courthouse on that date or be
liable to prosecution as a Stacker.
This ruling applies to ali male citizens
within the borders OF the grand old
I. 5. A., including blacks, reds OF
whites.
The reason for setting August oath
as a registrat ion date is that the Au-
gust calls for the camps will COM
pletely exhaust Class One and that
new men must be supplied for the
September calls. Registrants on Aug.
"a may hope to see service before
October. The new man-power bill
pending in Congress will supply rlen
for the draft calls for sometime to
come. Ii is expected that the regis
tration date ior all men between IS
and p and 81 and IS, if those age
limits are adopted, will be registered
on either September 5th or Septem-
Der 18th. The draft machinery has
been organized by the general staff
to obviate all delay in the classical
ton of the new men and those quail
fed for class one will probably be
available for service in time for the
October draft calls.
