MANY DELINQUENTS
ARE NOW LIABLE
TO ARREST
The Local Board Is Going
Thoroughly Into Merits
Of All Claims.

The local board is driving ahead
with the work of classifying the reg
| istrants, and is in session at the P.
O. Building almost Continuously now.
They are making a vigo:ous, tho
rough and systematic effort to get
every one properly classed.
Some of the registrants may save
themselves much trouble and embar-
rassment if they knew just how
thorough the board goes into each
case.
The board has almost unlimited
power, to summon witnesses and do
other necessary acts to ascertain the
true status of each man, and the
man who tries to deceive them will
have trouble coming him sooner or
later.
Already quite number have been
held up for further inquiry, and they
will find in filling the blanks that
honesty is truly the byst policy.
Out of the first CAB blanks sent
out, quite a number are already de-
linqents. This means that they may
be arrested and inducted into the
service, losing the rights they might
have acquired by returning the ques-
tionaire for file in the time allow
ed.
On Thursday the following were
unaccounted for, that is they had not
filed their papers, and were thereby
delinquents, and the police authori-
ties have already been given their
names for the purpose of arresting
them and bringing before the board
