Final details of the elaborate ma
chinery necessary for the February
l6 registration of some 10000 Wash
ingtonians for possible training in
the armed services will be completed
this week by District Selective Serv-
ice officials.
This registration, which will COM
plete the enrolment of the Nations
potential military manpower, will
embrace, roughly, all men 20 through
A years Of age who have not yet
registered and is expected to add
more than 5000, 900 to the national
draft rolls.
Approximately 5000 registrars
have been recruited to handle the
day-long registration in So District
schools. Specific instructions on
registration procedure will be dis
tributed to them during the coming
week
Open I AM. to 9 PM.
Offcials emphasized yesterday
that youths who have reached their
goth birthday after December 81,
l94l, will not be required to register.
The forthcoming enrolment takes
in unregistered men who were born
between February II. 1897, and De-
cember 81, 1921, inclusive.
Registration centers will be open
from am. to 9 pm. one week from
tomorrow. and all eligible registrants
have been directed to report to a
center serving their residential area
between those hours.
Registration of each man is eX-
pected to require less than 10 min
utes. on the basis of the registra-
tions in October, 1910, and last July
/. Registrars will flll out pale green
cards (the first ones were white and
those last July were salmon. which
will be signed by registrants. The
latter will be given small registra-
ton certificates, which they must
carry with them at all times.
Space for Mailing Address.
Space is provided on the cards
for both a place of residence and a
mailing address. Line two on the
card will be the place of residence
and will denote once and for all the
registrant's local board jurisdiction.
The mailing address on line three
will serve as the place where the
registrant may be more easily
reached.
Many Washington registrants will
prefer to enroll under the jurisdic-
ton of boards in their home States.
In these cases their cards will be
transferred for filing with their
home local boards. but they will re-
ceive board communications at their
mailing, or Washington. addresses.
The mailing addresses may be
changed from time to time as a
registrant moves from his tenn
porary residence, but the local board
Jurisdiction remains the same.
After cards have been forwarded
to proper local boards they will be
shuf1ed and numbered serially.
Within about four weeks after reg
istration day, a third national lot
terry will take place to determine the
order of new registrants in relation
to each other.
Many May Expect Call.
1t Is understood that the new
comers to the selective service rolls
will be added to the bottom Of cur
rent lists and not "integrated" as
were the July / registrants. Gener-
ally, the country's 5000 local boards
have completed the classification Of
80 per cent of their registrants. and
many have gone completely through
the lists.
Many of those registering Febru-
ary 16 may expect a call to active
service within a few months, &C
cording to national selective service
authorities. An Army manpower
total of 3,600,000 has been set as the
1912 goal. and more than 10000 900
men must be drawn from the new
registrants.
The bulk of these recruits. officials
admit. will come from the lower age
brackets. Less than 100000 soldiers
In all are expected to be drawn
from the 100000 older registrants
who are to be enrolled next week.
