FLAG-AT HALF MAST GOUNTRY COMBED “FOR' AGITATORS (Continued from First Page.) the government has designed to se- curg the information it needs. + “But we would probably be too optimistic if we did not expect a few scattered attempts to discourage men from- registering. It is likely that here and there the paid agents of our, enernies or their hirelings or a few feeble cowards who lack the backbone to face a fight may carry their pro- paganda to the registration places. “Our nation is at war, and _anti- Tegistration advice is treason. Severe punishment awaits those found guilty of 'advising against registration. The. state calls upon its young men to re- port at once if anything of this kind takes place in Connecticut tomorrow. “There's one more final word I ‘want to-say to the young men of the state. We are to attempt tomorrow the gigantic task of registration. None of us knows from experience what 1s to be done. We are guided by explicit nstructions from Washington: But there may be some slight delays.- We must all be patient and co-operate as much as possible with the registra- tion officials. All who.can do it should go to the registration places as early In the day as possifle, so that the machinery may not be clogged in the last hqurs. (4 “I am confident that Connecticut, true to her traditions, will meet the requirements of the ndtion in tomor- row’s registration day in a loyal con- secrated, and patriotic spirit and re- main the leader among our states.” s OURTIN-ROURKE.
