os our Yo sseiwton ee Ree s v " t 8 9 5 4 * 4 a n " c ! Registration and Selective Dralt Questions Answered Every man in the United States—mot in the Regular Army, Officers’ Reserve Corps, Regular Army Reserve, Navy, Naval Reserve, Naval Volun- teers, National Guard, National Guard Reserve or Naval Militia—who was born on or after June 6, 1886, and on or before June 5, 1896, must register | between 7 o'clock A. M. or 9 o'clock P. M., June 6. The penalty for failure to register is one year in prison and enforced registration at the end of that time. Foreign citizenship, holding ‘first papers,” absence from home, Mness or previous military service will not excuse @ man from the penalty for not registering. Many persons are writing to The Evening World presenting long liste of Physical aliments, some of which have obviously been copied from patent medicine advertisements, and others which seem e#incere and asking if they are grounds for exemption; there ie no answer to @uch questions; after the registry, when all the 10,000,000 names are in, 500,000 will be selected by lot from them; then the basis for excusing men who have been called ‘will not be what the man says is the matter with him, but what the army surgeons find out about him—and what the Exemption Boards decide as to Wis right to remain at home to take care of dependents, and as to his usefulness in an occupation other than in the fighting line. No further replies will be made individually to inquiries from (1) Those who have “discovered mistakes” regarding their ages which might free them from registering. They are advised to take the mistakes to the Registration Board and ask for @ ruling on them. (2) Those who seem to think previous military or naval service excuses them from service in this great emergency for which they are particularly needed. wen of letters are recetved regarding the Habiity to draft of “do- clarants” or persons who have taken out their first naturalization papers. No ruling has been sent out from Washington regarding euch persons, and thelr questions cannot be answered with certainty, But the probable policy of the Government may be guessed from the fact that declarants are ace cepted as volunteers—and may well be assumed to enjoy the privilege of ler the selective draft. iy Gtaay ausetions almost exactly alike are recetved, Those who do not find their questions stated in their own words will find information they asked for following a similar question. ‘These answers are as nearly author! tative as possible, but are not official. @.
