District Boards Merely Of
\ fered to Assist Them,
4, Maj. Donovan Says.
MATTER OF Convenience

> Government clerks who will have

:. IL may register with their home
( town boards in the states. This was
!. announced today by Mai. Daniel J..
5 Donovan, director of the draft in the
y District, and chairman of the central
4 registration committee, in answer to
:. the protest from clerks and on the
floor CT the Senate against cards sent
Z. that they must register here.
:. Apparently some misunderstood
ling has arisen Maj. Donovan de-
80 ciared, regarding the rights of men
i, who become subject to registration
~ September IL, and whose permanent
=. homes are outside the District Of
- Columbia, to have local boards of the
=. District fill in and certify to their
g. g: cards SO that they may mail them to
t.local boards in their home towns.
!. Case of misunderstanding.
90 a., "By no means was it intended to
a. force a man whose actual permanent

a., Donovan continued. THE underlying
IS thought of the central registration
8. committee in sending out the slips to
1.-THE government clerks was not the
-, convenience of the local boards of
i.the District. but the convenience of
=, the registrants themselves.
-, THE selective service law provides
...that in case of temporary absence

q, Son liable to registration, may have
~ the regulations prescribed by the
/, President
~ THE regulations just issued cover

- are very clear this point. Local
-. boards of the District are required to
e. be prepared to furnish registration
cards to persons temporarily absent
Hom the jurisdiction of their respec-
tive boards.
For the time being the local board
for division No. 8. located in the city
post office at North Capitol street
and Massachusetts avenue, will
handle this work for out-of-town

Refers to Residence.
1.-The regulations covering the Sep
tember IL registration provide that
the place of registration is the Gus
tomary voting place in the voting
precinct in which you have your DOM
icile, and your domicile is the place
at which you permanently reside at
the time of registration.
THE intention of the central reg
istration committee in sending out
printed notices and posting placards
was for the information of the large
number of men in the District of Co

Those men who now reside in the

CAPITAL AUT0|STS
Do BIT WILLINGLY
President and Mrs. Wilson
Join in Observing Gasoline
less Sunday, Using Carriage.

The appeal Of the fuel administra-
ton for a gasolineless Sunday in the
area of the United States east of the
Mississippi river was responded to pa
triotically in Washington yesterday.
The population Of this city, from
the President and Mrs. Wilson down
to the most humble automobile owner,
rested their machines. They walked
or else fell back upon the convenience
of the old-time horse-drawn vehicles
when they went abroad.
A large, open carriage. drawn by
two large. handsome bays, was used
by the President and Mrs. Wilson in
going to church. They seemed COM
enjoying the change. The secret serv-
ice men who always accompany the
President on such journeys left be-
hind their motor cycles and traifed
along in carriage.
Like a Real Sabbath
With almost all of Washington's
10000 automobiles kept in their ga
RACES yesterday the streets were I'M
usually quiet and the roadways almost
deserted. Probably no person of the
present generation can recall so near
ly noiseless a Sunday in the National
Capital In fact, as some expressed
it. 1T seemed like a real Sabbath
Every now and then a machine
would appear. 1t attracted almost as
much attention as in the pioneer days
of the "horseless wagon" when pedes-
trians would stop and cape as the
funny-looking machine would go puff
ing along.
The quiet was no stranger than the
peculiar and strange feeling of abso-
lutte safety in crossing streets. Pc
destrians appeared hardly to know how
to act, so unaccustomed were they to
such privileges and freedom at the
street crossings.
Those automobile owners, who
either overlooked the appeal not to
use cars yesterday, or completely ig-
nored it were frequently stopped by
policemen and questioned as to the ne
cessty for using the car. Their
names were recorded and they were
allowed to proceed. After being
stopped four or five times in the
course of as many blocks many of the
autoists turned homeward and put
their cars away.

In spite Of the fact that the Red
Cross has received great many ap-
plications lately from people who wish
to go to France f"r various kinds Of
service, there are still number of
places open for Canteen workers and
| Stenographers. Ronald Ransom, Di-
rector of the Southern Division, Bu-
reau Of Personnel, has issued the fol-
lowing call for workers:
"We are anxious to recrult women
for the Foreign Canceen and StcnO-
graphic Services Applicants for Cam
teen Service should be between 25
and 35 years Of age, robust in health,
willing to volunteer their services,
and pay all their expenses, if possible
They will have to sign contract for
term Of six months service, if VOL
untcers, or twelve months service,
llf their expenses are paid by the Red
Cross.
Applicants should understand that
they will have hard and continuous
physical labor under uncomfortable
conditions. They should have good
temper and discretion and be self-re
liant. A knowledge of French is de-
sirable for this service.
Stenographers should be between 25
and DO years of age, have robust
health and be willing to sign a con-
tract for a minimum term of twelve
months service wherever assigned
Only expert stenographcrs are de-
sired.
Applicants cannot be accepted for
either brancgh Of the service if they

both services. uniforms are worn only

quired, all Of whom are American cit
izens, not related to the applicant,
and at least one must be woman.
Like the Canteen Service, appli-
cants for the Stenographic Service
should understand that they will have
hard and continuous labor under un-
comfortable conditions. Seriousness
OF purpose is essentia. in both serv-
ices.
Applicants must be entirely free
from any enemy relationship either

HOLDS DOWN BOMB
And WINS MEDAL

Washington, Apr. 28.-A glimpse
of the strenuous life aboard the sub
marine chasers in the war zone was
permitted today when the navy de-
partment announced the award of the
medal of honor and a prize of $1OO
to John Mckenzie, chief boatswain's S
mate, who wrestled into submission a
huge depth bomb which broke it's
moorings on the dack of the U. S. S.

morning of December II. Mackenzie
line until the bomb had been made
safe. 1t is believed he saved the ship
from destruction.
The Remlik, which spelled backward
gives the name of its former owner,
Willis Sharp Kimer, wealthy New
York state yachtsman and horseraan,
who presented the trim speedy vessel
to the navy's patrol service at the
outbreak of the war, was tossing in a
heavy sea when the bomb, weighing
several hundred pounds, broke from
the box where it was lashed near the
stern.
AS it bounded across the deck, the
safety pin broke from its socket. The
loss Of the safety pin made the bomb
"alive". AS the cry of alarm went
up Mackenzie yelled, "watch me; IN
stop her"
Three times he tried to get a stran-
gle hold on the unweldy and slip
perry engine Of destruction, but each
time it broke away. The yacht, built
for speed, and Of narrow beam, rolled
heavily, but Mackenzie kept after the
bomb. On his fourth trial he held the
big explosive container and despite
the weight and the heavy seas which
broke about him maintained his post
until lash ropes had been fastened.
MackenZie's home is in South Hadley,
