j. ON JUNE 5
All Young Men Who Have Reached
Age of q Since June Last Are
Required to Register.
THE BOARD IS NOW PREPARING
$4,000 Men in Iowa Will Come Under
the New Ruling-hours Of Regis
tration to be Given Next Week.

All Crawford county men who have
reached the age of 81 since the regis
tration taking place in June 1917. will
be required to register OH Wednesday.
June 5, 1918. The act providing for
this registration has been passed by
congress and formal proclamation
by the president will be issued shortly,
naming June 5th as the day for regis
tration.
The Crawford county exemption
board is already making preparations
for registering the young men OF this
county who have reached the age OF
81 since last June. On Monday of this
week they received an order from Adj.
Gen. Guy f. Logan to complete all ar
rangements for this registration. 1t
is probable that the young men will be
required to come to Denison to regis
ter. Members of the local exemption
board will act as registrars.
Practically all OF the forms and
blanks necessary FOR the registration
of the men have been received by the
local board. They consist, among 9TH
er prms, of registration cards for this
new class of resistrants only, regis
tration regulations and full instructions
on inc answering VI qucSllollS pei
ing to registration.
1t is estimated that there are APP
proximately $4,000 young men in Iowa
at this time who have reached the age
of Il since June s., 1917, and hence
will be required to register on June
5th of the present year. This is based
on the number of registrants last year.
which was 2lG,000, it being estimated
this this years registrants will be
about l01. per cent of that number.
There is only one way of escaping
this registration and that is by vOlun-
tary enlistment in the service. Ac-
cording to Adj. General Guy E. Logan
many young men who have attained
registration age during the last year
are adopting that method of escape.
No exception is made in the case Of
absence Or sickness. Young men OF
registration age absent from home
should Immediately communicate with
| the local board of their home place and
ask for registration blanks to fill out
return to the board. Boards are also
required to furnish anyone unable to
go to the registration place owing to
sickness, with registration blanks, and
to see that means are provided that
such persons are properly registered.
The Review next week will give the
hours of registration and other infor-
nation of interest to the men who will
be required to register.
