A still heavier rush was expected when the school houses are opened to applicants for at 3 o'clock this afternoon. +” The only confusion in the making of abswers seemed to be caused by the question asking if the applicant wished te claim exemption from service in the State militia to which all men betWeen eighteen and forty-five not enrolled in the Federal registration are liable. The Albany authorities sent out word to-day that exemption must be claimed at enrollment if at all, under such grounds as “religious scruples,” ‘“alien,” “physical disabil- ity” with the nature of the disability indicated such as “loss of right arm” or “defective eyesight.” Every resident of the State, citizen or alien, between the ages specifi must answer the questions of enume- rators or lay himself or herself liable to six months’ tmprisonment.
