FOR SELECTIVE j
WASHINGTON, May 15.—An offi
cial outline of the method by which
military registration is to be carried
out under the selective conscription
'bill was made public today’ with an
appeal from the war department for
the voluntary services of state election
and other officials in order that there
may be no delay in enrolling and
Classifying millions of men for army
duty. Careful preparation has been
made to place the whole task in the
hands of civilian officials of the states
and tj remove every suggestion of
military force in putting the measure
'into effect. The only function of the
federal government will be supervi
sion through the office of provost
marshal general. The department’s
statement follows :
‘^There was a time in the country’s
history when military enumerators,
backed by bayonets, went out among
the people to take a compulsory ser
vice census. Today under the princi
ple of universal liability to service
the execution of the law is put into
the hands of the people.
“The approval of the new national
army bill and the president’s procla
mation thereunder will be coinciden
tal. All persons within the age lim
its prescribed will be required to pre
sent themselves for registration at the
customary voting place in the voting
precincts in which they have their per
manent homes, on a day which the
president will announce. The proba
bility is that from 10 to 15 days will
elapse between approval of the bill
and registration day.
“The governor of each state will be
ther-hief of registration therein. The
machinery of registration in each
county is to be in charge of the sheriff,
the county clerk and the county phy
sician, acting ex-officio, unless a dif
ferent board will be announced by the
governor. In cities containing popu
lations of more than .‘10,000, the regis
tration will be under the control of the
mayor and selected boards of regis
tration. In order that the designated
county and city officials, and the peo
ple generally can get a clear under
standing of the census methods the
following brief outline is given:
“The sheriffs or other designated of
ficials, immediately upon receiving no
tice from the governor, shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.
“The proportion of registrars shall
be one for each 170 persons to be
registered. Each age to be registered
will c#mprise about one per cent of the
population. If, for instance, all men
between 21 and 30 years of age, in
clusive, are to be registered, the regis
trar would have to enroll about seven j
per cent of the precinct population.
“It is desirable to accept the ser
vices of competent volunteer regis
trars, to serve without compensation.
All registrars must be sworn.
“The voting place in each precinct
must be prepared for registration.
Full printed instruction covering ev
ery detail of registration will be in
the hands of sheriffs and mayors on
the fifth day after the president's
proclamation.
“The mayor of a city containing
more than 30,000 inhabitants, of the
'officials designated by the governor
therein, shall with approval of the
governor, appoint for each ward or
convenient minor subdivision contain
ing about 30,000 people one registra
tion board and shall designate one of
ficer of each board to perform duties
similar to those imposed on the sher
iff, as heretofore outlined. If the
mayor desires he may appoint a cen
tral board to co-ordinate the work of
minor boards.
“On the fifth day after the president
has issued his proclamation, clerks of
counties and cities of over 30,000 must
secure a supply of blanks and copies
of the registration regulations from
! the sheriff or from the mayor. Absen
tees and the sick will apply to such
tlerks or have their registration cards
I filled out. In no case shall such per
i sons be given registration certificates.
; They are to be instructed by the clerk
that the burden is on them to see to
it that the cards reach the registrars
j of their home precincts by registration
day.
"Persons absent from their home
counties may be registered by mail.
If so absent, a man should go to the
clerk of the county where he may be
staying, on the sixth day after the
date of the president’s proclamation.
If he is in a city of over 30,000 popu
lation, the city clerk is the official to
whom to apply. The absentee will be
told how to register, but he must mail
his card in time to reach his precinct
by registration day.
“Persons too sick to present them
: selves for registration must send a
competent person to the county or city
. clerk on the sixth day after the issu
ing of the proclamation. The clerk
will give instructions for registration.
“Officials or educators, charitable
and other institutions should apply for
instructions to the county or city
i clerk on the sixth day after the date
of the proclamation for instructions
1 as to a convenient method of regis
tration.
“The wardens of jails, penitentiaries
and reformatories should apply to the
county or city clerk for instructions in
the sixth day.
“Five days after the date of the
proclamation complete reglations will
j be in the hands of all sheriffs and of
i the officials of cities of over 30,-KM)
population.
“The president is authorized to call
upon all public officers to assist in
J the execution of the law. The plan is,
however, to rely on the people for the j
proper execution of the law. It is ex
pected that services will be gratefully
acknowledged. Volunteers for this
service should communicate immedi
ately with the proper officials.”

considerable other valuable realty in
Seattle, purchased the Alaska building

the last 20 years.

The number of deaths from pneumonia in children |
under three years is very large—proven to be due in a g
great measure to the fact that many homes are not pro- |
perly heated and the “baby’s playground”—the floor— g
is too cold. How about your home.' We can give you a |
heating system and positvely guarantee it to heat any |
room in your home, to 70 degrees when the outside tern
perature is below zero. We can connect your heating §
system with an automatic heat regulator that will keep |
your home at any degree of warmth that you desire, all w
the time.
