LOCAL BOARDS SAY POSTOfFfCES
 CAUSE RETURNS
Not Sufficient Effort Being Made to Deliver Question
 naires, Is Charge.

That large numbers of question:
 naires are coming back to the local
 boards because the post0ffces of both the city and county are rot making thoro efforts to locate the address sees, was the statement made at the
 offices of both local exemption boards yesterday evening. A number of in- stances indicating lack of proper at: tention on the part of postoffice en-
 ployes were cited by attaches of the boards. They state that in several cases registrants have come to them inquiring for their questionnaires and stating that they had called repeatedly at their local postoffces for them, only to be told there was nothing for them. In practically all of the cases, it is stated, the papers had been re- turned to the office of the board with the notation Mot called for" At both board offices it was said that while the boards realized that the handling of the questionnaires was a big under taking for the postoffices, particularly coming just at the holiday season, yet special instructions had been given to all postal employees to make every ef- fort to assist the local boards in To- eating registrants. and that the indi- cations were that the postal employees of both the city and county were not assisting the boards as much as they could.
 Board Advises Registrants.
 Members of both the boards advise all registrants who have not yet re- ceived their questionnaires to call at the office of their board and investi- gate the matter. The draft regula- tions do not excuse the registrant who fails to return his papers because he failed to receive them, as each regis trant is supposed to keep the board advised as to changes in his address. Notices warning all registrants to do this have been posted conspicuously throughout the county for some time. Owing to the fact that many colored registrants can not read, or do not see the newspapers, employers and others Who know such men are requested to advise any registrants whose names they see published as not having re- turned their questionnaires to report to their local board at once. A list of the questionnaircs returned to local l board No. 1 is published below.
