HALT ADVANCE
REGISTRATIONS
Persons Leaving City Must
File Ahdavits Under
New Order.

Advance registration on the
ground that the applicant is going
to be out OF town on September IL
will not be given unless he makes
arndavit to that effect under an
order issued to local draft boards
e yesterday by Maj. D. ]. Donavan.
To date the boards have been reg
istering men who expect to be out
of town on registration day without
requiring afidavits. Hereafter all
men will have to make affidavit to
rhat effect that they will be out OF
town.
Seek to Avoid Rusk.
The purpose OF this is to prevent
men who will not be out OF town
from registering and thus avoiding
the Inconvenience attendant upon
waiting at the place OF registration
on September IL. Many men have
been registering on the plea that
they would not be here on the dates
set when they have no idea OF leav-
ing town.
u While II Is not believed that this
practice has been widespread, still
the authorities wish to make clear
that there will be no advant-
Rses in early registering and there
fore have issued the affidavit order.
Men who take the oath as to
absence from the city and then
Violate IL will lay themselves open
30 severe penalty under the law.
Two Means offered.
There are at present two ways IN
which men who will be absent from
town may register. One method is to
have the registration card made out
at the proper local board. where It
I will De held until registration day,
when the certificate OF registration
will be given the applicant. The other
way Is less certain. II is to go to
The local board of the city YOU will
be in on registration day and have
That board make out the card. The
Eard must then be sent to the Wash
pngtOn board by the registrant As
he mails are somewhat irregular. this
latter method often causes serious in
cOnvericnCe.
LCcri Board No. 3. which has been
appointed to handle all out-of-town
cards in Washington. is working at
top speed. Thirty registrars are at
work and they are caring for hun
ureds Of absentee registrants daily.
Enlarge Working Force.
A plan is under consideration for the
Enlargement OF the personnel of local
boards At present there are three
fnen on each board. 1t is planned to
Increase this number to five in view
pr the great amount of work which
wilI be caused by the classification of
men who will register in the next
Afraft.
1t has also been suggested that
Doctors and members Of the boards
be put in uniform. These men are
bctuaHy performing duties which can
fTell be Classed as military. 1t is
thought that the khaki would lend
hem more diEnified appearance and
neishten their respOnsib IitiCs.
