There is only one day for registration, June 5, 1917. 2. Every male resident of the United States who has reached his 21st and who has not reached his 31st birthday must register on the day set, June 5, 1917. The only exceptions are persons in the military or naval service of the United States which includes all officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the regular army reserve, the officers' reserve corps, the enlisted reserve corps, the National Guard and National Guard reserve recognized by the Militia Bureau of the War Department, the navy, the marine corps, the coast guard and the Naval Militia, the naval reserve force, the marine corps reserve and the national volunteers, recognized by the Navy Department. 3. Registration is distinct from draft. No matter what just claim you have for exemption, you must register. 4. Registration is a public duty. For those not responsible to the sense of this duty the penalty of imprisonment, not fine, is provided in the draft act. 5. Those who through sickness shall be unable to register should cause a representative to apply to the county or city clerk for a copy of the registration card. The clerk will give instructions as to how this card should be filled out. The card should then be mailed by the sick person or delivered by his agent to the registrar of his home district. The sick person will enclose a self-addressed stamped for the return to him of his registration certificate. 6. Any person who expects to be absent from his voting precinct on registration day should apply as soon as possible for a registration card to the county clerk of the county where he may be stopping, or if he is in a city of over thirty thousand, to the city clerk. The clerk will record the answers on the card and turn it over to the absentee. The absentee should mail this card to the registrar of his home district so that it reach this official by registration day. A self-addressed stamped envelope should be enclosed with the card to insure the return to the absentee of a registration certificate. 7. Registration booths will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on registration day, June 5, 1917. ****************************************************************** Excerpts from The Times Picayune June 2, 1917 OFFICE BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR SELECTIVE MILITARY CONSCRIPTION -- New Orleans, La., June 1, 1917.
