the law is allowed to take its course, as it most certainly should, every will. fut delinquent will be placed amme-, diately in Glass. and will be subject. to ifnmediate induction into military service and trial by a court martial.
 1t was announced Wednesday, at the office of the local board that the last. of the questionnaires. 2SS5 in mum Der, has been mailed out. If a man of draft age has not already received one or does not receive one within day or two he should make it his business to call at the board office and find out why. If he reglects to do this he must suffer the consequences.
 It was stupendous undertaking to mail out the 2,s35 questionnaires. The name of every registrant had to be written at least nine times, making an approximate total of 27,000 names. When the questionnkires are returned they have to be looked over in order to ascertain whether they comply with the requirements and they are then filed away in the board office. Tn ad- dition to all this work the local board members have been called upon to mail ont thousands of pieces of mail and to make out many thousands of copies of registration cards, exemption claims, findings etc.
 An average of fifty men call daily at the office to ask all manner of dues- tions in regard to the questionnafres exemption claims, and time limits

RED CROSS SWEATERS
Local Chapter Hears of Distribution
 to Soldiers.

The Norwich Red Cross chapter has received a copy of the following communication sent to MT. Allen, manager of the Atlantic division, by c. E. Scott, director of the division or- ganization:
 As a result of the decision of the war department not to include sweat CTS in the equipment furnished to sol- diers, the Red Cross was unexpectedly called upon to outfit the army with sweaters.
 The Red Cross responded to the call of the men and has undertaken this task, which involves over million sweaters.
 The. chapters have been urged to knit as many sweaters as possible, and as fast as possible. and large or- ders have been placed for the purchase Of sweaters, which are being turned out as rapidly as the manufacturers can produce them. The work of pro- duction will be stimulated by every possible means until the demand is met Up to date, over five hundred thousand sweaters, have been distrib- tIted from headquarters, but as long as there are men who have not been out fitted the demand will continue, and
 letters will be received from the off,
 eers and men in the camps asking for
 them
 It has been determined that all
 sweaters produced in each of the Red Cross divisions shall be distributed by division headquarters to take care of the needs of the camps in the ii. vision. The purchased sweaters are being shipped in response to requests from the different divisions to the earnt5s which need them most and an. proximately ten thousand sweaters have been shipped to every camp by headquarters with the exception oI four camps in tie west. which are be. ing taken care Of by local fnanufae. turers.
 Manufacturers are delivering sweat CTS at the rate of over 11.000 a day The field directors are issuing thu | sweaters only to such men as havt l not already received them, and in or. der to avoid duplication and supplS those first who are in the most need the distribution is being made in Be. cordance with the requests of the -of6.

csrs in command at the different

cers in command at the different camps.
 There is naturally desire on the part Of the members of the chapters to see that the men from their partte- ular home towns are outftted. Direct shipments by individuals CT chapters to officers or men, however. have re- suited in much duplication and con- fusion with heavy expense for express age, and a delay as result of long distant shipments at this time of traf- fic congestion. For example, we have trustworthy reports of men who have received as many as six sweaters, of cases where donated sweaters have been sold or pawned and of criss-cross shipments such as one from Alabama ito Camp Wheeler, Ga, of approxi- natefy the same number of sweaters as were shipped at the same time from Virginia to Anaiston, Alabama. This would all have been avoided had dis tfibufion been made through the Red Cross.
 Division managers are requested to communicate the above facts to the chapters in their respective divisions and to urge insistently that direct shipments by chapters be discontinued and that distribution be made in ac- cordance with the plans above out. lined.

Many Questionndres Returned Unopened
Carriers Unable to Deliver Them Daftees Have Moved Away-Faltre to Receive Qusstionnaire Does Not Re Eeve Regisrant of Responsibility ty-Nanes of Deln- qraents to De Turned Over to Police.

Questionn&ires are being returned daily to the local exemption board as unbelievable by the local postoftice as. the mail carriers find. that the men to whom the questionnaires were sent do not live at the addresses given Oh the questionnaire envelopes The main reason for this is that the men have moved either out of town or to some other address in this city since they registered on June 9th last and have failed to notify the local exemption board of the change in address. Out Of one lot of four hundred question naires mailed out from the local ex- emption office, t1iirty-four were re- turned as unbelievable by the post office authorities.
 Because man does not receive his questionnaire does not in the least re- lieve him of the responsibility of f1il- ing one out and returning 1t to the board. It was said at the office of the local board Wednesday, afternoon that a' list of the men who have failed to return their questionnaires within the required time and list of the names on the questionnaires' returned as uri- deliverable will be placed in the hands of the police and the delinquents will find themselves ia the custody of fetf- eral authorities. It will certainly go hard with the draftee who has delib- erately neglected to return his dues- tionnaire within the required time. If
