Crowder's office shows that a littla mora Uta/I 10 par rant at tha— man were 21 year* I «ld. On that basis it ia estimated by draft officials that the t«UJ registra tion will exceed IJBOCftQt at which 750.000 will be available for military 1 service. This makes proper allow ances because of dependent > and other bars to military service. The law provides that every young man in the United States who ha* reached the afe of 21 years since June 5, 1917, or reached that ace on or Iwfore June 5, 1918. mu t register. The only exceptions are in the cases 1 of men who are actually in active military or naval service. All male persons, citizens or aliens, born be tween June 4, 1M96, and June 5, 1K97, inclusive, except officer' and elisted men of the Regular Army, Navy, and Marine Corpa and the National Guard and Naval Mtlitia while the Federal •ervice, and officers in the Offirer»" Reserve Copr* and elisted men in the Kn11*ted Reserve Corps while in alive service, must, register. Some misunderstanding ha- been caused by the publication of reports that medi cal and divinity student* need not register, and Gen. Crowder has is»uad the following statement: "Divinity students and students of medicine must register. Under the ter*n« of the law signed by President Wilson on Monday students who were preparing for the ministry in recog r, i7.fi! theological or divinity school* and »tudents who are preparing for the practice of medicine and surgery in recognized medical schools on May 20, 1918, are exempt from the draft. However, the law does not relieve such students from the duty of registering on Wednesday, June 5. Registration comes first, exemption afterwards. It is absolutely necessary that these stu dents register." ine registration win oe ncia in use office of the local board ha\ ing juris diction *(f the area wherein the person to be registered permanently reside*, or in such other place as hy public notice in designated by the board, be tween 7 a- m. and 9 p. m. on Wednes day, June 5, 1918. It is necessary to go to the registra tion place in person. Any man who expects to be absent from home on Wednesday, June 5, 1918 should go at once to the office of the local board where be expects to be and have hi* registration card filled out and certi fied. He must then mail this card to the office of the local board having jurisdiction of the place wherein he permanently resides, and in view of the fact that this card must be re ceived June 6, it is essential that any-. one who expects to lie away from home or that date to arrange for his registration immediately. Anyone who is sick on June 5 and unable to present himself in parson at thv office of the local t>oard may send some competent friend, who may be deputised by the clerk to pre|*re his card. Any person in doubt as to where he should register should consult the local I ma id in the place where he per manently resides, or he may obtsin the desired information from the office of the mayor if he lives in a city of SO.OfjO population or over, v>r in the office of the county clerk or parish dork if he does not live in a city of >0.000.

This is the first mishap to Camp Greene troops en route to France, and It will be regarded in this town as Charlottes saddest chapter so far written in the war. To U»«- Public.
