V. Fitz Gerald, disbursing agent under the draft law, is especially desirous that registrants take notice that they are nil required to fill out and return re-turn the questionnaire, even though some of them be enlisted in the regular service. ser-vice. Instructions from Washington are that enlistment does not absolve a man from the duty of making his answers the same as the man who is to lie drafted. Tn t lie questionnaire is space for a statement state-ment by the registrant that he Is enlisted, enlist-ed, but his enlistment is not to be regarded re-garded as having- done away with the necessity for his filling out the questionnaire. question-naire. Parents are requested to advise draft boards of the present addresses of enlisted men. Counsel Useless Here. The needlessness of retaining counsel by men who are arrested on suspicion of draft evasion Is pointed out by Sheriff John S. Corless, who discovered recently that a Mexican had given up his last $50 to. en attorney upon being arrested on suspicion of being a draft evader. The man was released as soon as information in-formation requested of his local draft board had been received, clearing him of the suspicion. The man was without money, the jailer giving him the price of a meal. The payment of the retainer fee of 550 to the attorney was a waste of his last dollar, since the attorney could do nothing for him that was not being done by the sheriff's office. His retention reten-tion or liberation depended entirely upon the report from his draft board. Sheriff Corless points out that the man who is not a draft evader, though under suspicion, has nothing to fear worse than a few days in jail, while word as to his status is had from his local draft board. On the other hand, the man who is guilty and proved so by t he report from his local lo-cal draft boiird cannot be saved by nn attorney's at-torney's services from being turned over to the federal authorities for handling;. |
