and ii was not until last night that
they learned of their sons death.

Lieut.. OFT was twenty-four years
old and was born in Lexington, Va.
His parents moved to Washington

States declared war on Germany. He
was educated in Washington public
schools and was graduated from Cen

For a time after leaving high
school he was with a real estate and
insurance firm, and later he engaged
in the real estate business at Hope
well, Va. For several years he was
an active worker in the Y. NJ c. A.

Younger Men Will Go First.

The probability. too. that men over
thirty-six years will not be touched
for military service until the younger
men are all taken will further re-
duce the seriousness of the question
of exemption as it relates to govern
ment employees. The question of
faulty physique and organic diseases
among older men is another factor
not to be overlooked.
Men between eighteen and forty
five years. who register next month.
will be required to furnish personal
Information more extensive than has
been asked before at registration
times. The registration cards for the
forthcoming enrolment carry twenty
questions against twelve asked of
men at the three previous registra-
tionS.
A number of questions which the
new registrants must answer when
they sign up deal with citizen
ship, and the registration card Will
fully define the status of each man,
the information presumably assisting
in applying the military service reg
ulations of allied nations to their
nationals.

Requires Details to Be Given.

Exact occupation, status and place
of employment and the name of en-
ployer are demanded. As final point the
card requires the names and addresses
of nearest relatives, and the place
where the registrant ordinarily re-
ceives his mail. This is desired to
eliminate the difficulties tina. local
draft boards throughout the country
have had in keeping in touch with
men registered in their districts.
Certificates of registration, to show
that man has registered. will be
handed each registrant- The new
certificates differ slightly in form, but
not in substance or color. from those
issued to previous registrants. The
card will be blue and will measure
21a by 4 inches.
Final figures on the registration of
twenty here Saturday
and Monday show that $40 men reg
istered, of whom 442 were white, 164
colored and oriental.

Will Not Be Hard "Hit."

Washington will not be hit" it

the country. There are no big" in

agricultural interests, factors result
ing in a disturbance of labor balance
in other communities.
The government clerk offers Wash
ington's prime problem under the new
registration, and many knotty prob
lens are expected to arise soon as
the result of it Clerks between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty-one
years were handled along certain
definite lines. Heads of departments
had to personally swear an employe
was indispensable" before he was
granted deferred classification solely
on the ground of employment in the
government service.
1t is believed that exemption on the
grounds of dependent wife and chill
dren will figure more in deferred
classification for the older registrants
to be registered next month than it
did in securing deferred placement
for the younger men.
