It is signed “ Conscription League, 20 East 125tn street, New York," which is evidently a fiétitious name used to lead the authoritieg astray. Many theories have been voiced as to the identity of the offenders but no conclusion has as yet been arrived at.' Although it has not been definite- 1y proved, a number of the townspeo- ple claim that the circulars were ped- dled from' house to house by small girls in broad daylight prior to last night's flooding ‘and that they have appeared before in the neighborhood but in small quantities. The officlals of the town have not taken any ac- tion but each man is acting as a spe- cial policemen in hopes of detecting the marauders. Orowds Flock to Register. Registration day started with a and all of the townspeople were up bright and early this) morning, each. wishing to be the to proclaim his loyalty to the government. The Tegistrirs:at the different precincts o”ned up at 7 o'clock but long he- tnr- that time crowds of men waiting to vegister had formed. When the doors were thrown open the line filed in and the clerks wers temporarily. swamped. After the first onrush the business was conducted in a routine manner ‘and the perfection of the plans which had been arranged by the various boards 'was much in ev: dence. The first to register at the Ber- lin precinct was Sidney Le Chair, who is connected with the Stanley Works in the capacity of export billing clerk. He has no dependents and did no: claim exemption from the draft. The first_one to “sign up™ in Kensington was'Louls Maier, who claimed exemp- tion from the conscription on the srounds that he is & farmer and food producer. Although some will be naturally immune and plead exemp- tion it is thought by the authorities that the greater share of the regis- tration cards wiil’ be filled out by those willing and able to be called in- to national service. Using the list sent to the town clerk by which the names of those who do. not register can be checked the au- thorities can asceftain by night if any have disobeyed the law. If theré aré any such offenders their names will be sent to the federal sutharities and they will be promptly dealt with. After the propaganda scare of last night the officials are on the watch for anyone trying to interfere with registration ‘activities. They do not think that force in any measure will he resorted to. The registration cards of several logal young men who are out of town ‘were recelved today at the town clork’s office. One card was from George P. Mousch who is employea at the N. B.

There was no evi- dence of slackers and an absolute lack of anti-draft sentiment was fot- ed during the day. From 7 o'clock this morning when | the blowing of whistles and the toll- ing of bells. signalized that the work- ers were ready to register, all the ycung men of the town betweem the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, the reg- istration board was active in listing the information given by eligibles who reported at the Town hall to per- form their patriotic duty and, es- pecially in the morning, there were few idle moments for the officials. ‘While the board and their assistants were kept busy they were not at any time rushed to an extent that might interfere with their efficiency and-the young men were taken care of with- out any great delay.

While the registrars and their deputies explained to the elig- | ibles that they were not compelled to arswer at this time the question as to whether they Claimed exemption from conscription, most of those who do not object to the country’s calling them into service in the fight for hu- manity, so declared themselves. Friendly aliens se¢med to be as fa- miliar with the president’s proclama- tion as weré the citizens and they were reporting regularly during ‘te morning. The indications at noon were that no organized effort was be- ing made to evade registering and the \expectations were that the town's list of eligibles will be complete at 9 o'clock tonight when the registration ‘board completes its work: ‘Whistles on locomotives added to the din at 7 o'clock when the bells and factory gongs were sounded and for nearly teh minutes there was an ear-splitting racket to warn the young men of their duty.
