only $50 arrests had been made Of
those who sought to eVade resis;ra-
ton and Of that number 1858 were re-
leased after having registered and
there remains only 2095 cases TO De
prosecuted. The report declares that
n the final analysis Of the records it
will be shown that only 0.00O26 per
cent Of the men within draft age ev-
AIDED registration.
"A rough figure of So per cent is
given as the number OF reSiStranJs

plain that most of these men already
