Percentage of Slackers Small.

The percentage of slackers in the
United States is small This is
shown in the report of Provost Mar
shall Crowder to the secretary of war,
The authorities early assumed" he
states IAN attitude of lenieney to-
ward all those who, after arrest, ex-
hibited a willingness to register, and
extended the locus penitenti as far
as possible. believing that the pur-
pose of the law was to secure full
registration rather than full jails.
Consequently 1868 of those appre-
hended were released after having
registered and prosecutions began
against 2,095, of which 1,645 are
still pending. 1t is noteworthy that
of those released or prosecuted,
1926 have actually been registered,
and in the final analysis byt 0.00026
of males between ri and 80, inclu-
sive. failed or neglected to register
This remarkable showing is made in
face of the fact nearly 100000
males in the United States registered.
