PRESIDENT WILL
ISSUE PROCLAMATION
ON REGISTRATION

The number of men who viii reg
lister in Umatilla county under spec
ial registration of August "a il Ilaced
at about 35 by E o. Draper, clerk
OF the board. Mr.. Draper makes the
estimate upon the basis of the NUM-
ber registered June 5. which repre-
sented the young men in the county
who had reached the age of 81 in IL
months. The June registration was
about three months ago and should
therefore be about one-fourth of the
number in June. which was I64. He
cuts the estimate below the one
fourth to allow fer those coming with
in the age who have enlisted as vol
unteers.
Following the wire received yes-
terday by the local draft board in
structions have been received today
from the adjutant general regarding
the registering OF young mon who
have attained their 21st birthday be-
tween June 5 and August 24th- In
part the instructions read:
The President will soon issue
proclamation requiring all persons
specified therein who have. since the
5th day of June. 1918, and on or be-
tained their twenty-first birthday to
register on saturday, the gath day
of August between a m. and 9 p.
m. This registration must not be
confused with the larger registration
to be made in september in pursu-
ance of the legislation now pending
before congress. This registration
concerns only those who have since
June 5. 1918. and cH or before Au-
gust gath. 1918. attained their 21st
birthday. In view of the demand for
Glass men this registration is
deemed necessary. 1t is believed that
this registration can be made with
out interfering with the arrangements
now under way for the larger regis
tration. You will please give the
widest publicity through newspapers
and other channels of publicity to this
registration and instruct all local
boards to Immediately start publicity
campaigns in order that those requir-
ed to register will have ample no.

"The President has finally announc-
