SERIAL NUMBERS
REGISTRANTS
Under instructions from the Gov
ernor the local exemption board had
to send aii registration cards which
contained addresses of registrants
at points in the states to the Adjut
ant General of the several states.
According to these instructions it
became necessary to renumber serial
ly all of the cards. Registrants who
gave an Alaskan address, hut have
gone outside since registering, are re
tained by the local board. Cards show
ing outside addresses must be mailed
out. without regard to whether or not
registrants are still known to be in
the territory. Under this ruling the
number of registrants credited to Al
aska is materially reduced and the
696 men to be drafted will be drawn
from those with an Alaska address

Cordova registrants are as follows:
1— Marcial Mejia, Cordova.
