LATAH COUNTY
YOUTHS CALLED
TO REGISTER
YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE REACHED
MATURITY SINCE JUNE 5,
LAST, ARE CALLED
DATE FIXED IS JUNE 5
NEW DRAFT EXPECTED TO Sc
CURE 100000 MORE SOLDIERS
FOR THE ARMY

The new draft law, which calls all
young men who have reached the age
of 21 years since June 5, 1917, the date
of the registration of 100000 men
between the ages of 21 and 81, has
passed both houses of congress-, re-
ceived the signature of President Will
son and a call for the registration of
these men has been sent out. The
date of registration is fixed for We'd
nesday, June 5, the anniversary of the
first registration. On that date every
man who has reached the age of 21
years and is not registered must go
to the places designated and register
for service in the army.
Latah county is believed to have
from 125 to $50 such men who have
become of legal age since the last
registration day. In order to make
it convenient for these to register,
three places have been arranged in
the county. One will be at the court
house, where Homer Estes, county aud
itor, will be the registration officer
and will be assisted by Miss Bessie
Walters and Mr.. Robinson. Sheriff
Campbell will have charge of the reg
istration booth at Deary and will be
assisted by H. D. Warren. A third reg
istration booth will be located at Ken
drick, and DR.. Carithers of the local
draft board, will be in charge there,
with Harry Stanton as assistant 4
Every young man who has reached the
age of 21 years since the last registra-
tion, June 5, 1917, is required to reg
lister and there are severe penalties
for failure to comply with the law.
Booths will be open from a. m. to
9 p. m.
The new registration is expected to
add 100000 men to the fighting forces |
of the United States. The following |
dispatch from Washington, D. c., tells
of the registration and what it is ex
pected to accomplish:
WASHINGTON = Estimates yes
terday by Major General Crowder, pro-
vost marshal general, indicate that
probably three-quarters of million
men will be obtained for the army by /
he registration on June of all youths
Who have attained 21 years of age since
June last.
Fully a million youths, according to |
General Crowder's estimate, will be
registered. At least one-fourth of them,
le thinks, will be exempted on vari
JUS grounds.
General Crowder's estimate" says
statement by Secretary of War Barker,
was based on the fact that almost
O,O00,OOO men registered last year.
This number included all between 21
md 81 Statistics collected by General
officers show that a little
more than 10 per cent of these men :
we're 21 years old On that basis it is
estimated by draft officials working
lnder General Crowder that this
ears registration will exceed 1,O00,-
100.
Gall male persons, citizens or aliens,
except those in army, navy, national
,uard and enlisted reserve corps in
lctive service, must register.
General Crowder plans to have the
ocal boards keep their offices open for
egistration purposes between a. m.
ind 9 p. M on June 5. Between those
hours all young men who were born
June 5, 1896, and June 6, 1897,
must register"
