SELECTlVE SERVICE

The local board has received the long expected questionnaires and is now hard at work. Several of the reg istration cards are not,yet in, but pend ing their arrival the board will gC ahead sending cut the questionnaires to those whose cards they now have. and these will probably amount to nine tenths of the whole.
 While the questionnaire is for midable looking document of Is pages. 84xll4, closely printed, it is not likely to prove so very hard to handle except to few cases. An American citizen. unmarried and without dependents, who believes himself physically fit, and who makes no claim of exemption, has but little to do beyond one page and the first question or two on few others; but the difficulties increase in geometrical proportion as each of these points come into question.
 Those who feel the need of any advice or assistance in making out the ques tionnaire will be aided upon applica- ton to G. G. Geraghty at Flat, or to Chas. k. Taylor, at Iditarod, who have been duly designated as members oi the legal advisory board, for this very purpose.

U, s, ATTORNEYS
 AFTER FALSlFIERS

In a telegram received recently by United States Attorney R. F. Roth, the attorney general advised that through out the country there had been ten dency of some prosecutors to prosecute only the fragrant misstatements made in the questionnaires which have been sent out to all registered men, and he advised the district attorney that it was the desire of the department that ,ell falsifiers be prosecuted vigorously. Therefore, the district attorneys office wishes to warn all men liable to answer these questions to do so with the great est care, to see that their answers are correct, and thereby escape prosecu- tion. The telegram from the attorney general read, in part, as follows:
 False statements in support of claims for exem ption or deferred classi- fcation constitute 6 grave menace to the fair and equitable enforcement of conscription. The United States at- torneys are requested to give publicity to the fact that such material false statements, even when the facts have been distorted only slightly, will be prosecuted,n
