Show REGISTERING OF THE BOYS 10 ARE 21 In accordance with bulletin No. 364, regarding registration on August 24 ."the president will soon issue a proclamation proc-lamation requiring all persons specified speci-fied therein who havo since the fifth day of June, 1918, and on or before tho 24th day of August, 1918, attained their 21st birthday to register on Saturday, Sat-urday, tho 24th day of August, between be-tween 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. This registration regis-tration must not bo confused wtlh tho I larger registration to be made In September Sep-tember in pursuance of the legislation now pending boforo congress. This registration concerns only those who havo since June 5, 1918, and on or before be-fore August 24, 1918, attained their 21st birthday. In view of the demand for Class 1 men this registration is deemed necessary. It Is believed that this registration can bo made without Interfering with the arrangements now under way for the larger registration. You will please give tho widest publicity public-ity through newspapers and other channels of publicity to this rcgistra- lion. All local boards arc instructed to Immediately start publicity campaigns cam-paigns in order that those required to register will havo ample notice." Rcglsterat Offices "In view of the comparatively small number to bo registered it will not bo necessary to provide as many regls-tion regls-tion places within tho jurisdiction of local boards as on June 5, 191S. Each local board is notified to appoint a registrar for each place of registration registra-tion to be established within its jurisdiction. juris-diction. A member of the local board will act in the capacity of chief regis trar at each place of registration." The Weber county men will register at the local board's office in the court house. The city men will probably register at the city board's office on 24th street. The number from both districts is expected to be small. Expect About 500. As a result of this special registration, registra-tion, it is estimated by Captain Fitz Gerald that Utah will enroll approximately approxi-mately 500 men. Out of this total 125 are expected to come from Salt Lake City and fifty from Salt Lake county. The call for this extra registration, It is announced, is to obtain a sufficient suffi-cient number of registrants to meet the September calls which are likely to bo made upon the local draft boards. It is expected that the calls for August will practically exhaust the number of Class 1 men available at the present time. The total for the month is 1874, divided as follows: August Au-gust 1, 49; August 5, 250; August 15, 450; August 26, 1125. Tho last call for this month is the largest single requirement ever made of Utah under the selective service law. Slight readjustments of quotas, as between local boards which have small deficiencies and those which have excesses in number of available Class 1 men, will be made to compensate compen-sate these differences and equalize the supply so as to fill all of the August requirements. The extra registration called for August 24 mil supply enough men. it is anticipated by draft officials, to meet tho September calls. Subsequent requirements will be met from the general registration of men from 18 to 45 years of age expected to be called for September 5. |
