The Cordova exemption board is in
receipt of a communication from Gov
•ernor Riggs containing the following
telegram from the Provost Marshal
General, containing much information
of local interest:
One year ago occurred the first
registration for military purposes of
the young manhood of the nation.
Ten million men responded in a
single day. This accomplishment was
nothing short of marvelous. The task
of utilizing this enormous force then
seemed unachievable. But the work
of classification of this great mass of
man power in such a way as to permit
of its organization and moulding into
an effective army was entrusted to
forty six hundred and sixty-three local
boards and one hundred and fifty-six
district boards, constituting a force of
nearly fifteen thousand of the leading
citizens of every community who, as
sisted in their work by more than
one hundred thousand equally patri
otic volunteers, have performed a
work that challenges the attention
and exites the admiration of all our
people.
Well may we pause today, while
another million of our youths enter
the lists, and survey the results of
the year’s work. Each registrant has
been examined and his availability for
military service has been determined.
In other words these millions of men
have been classified in such a manned
that the nation may now call for them
to come forward into the army. No
call can be so large that it can not
be filled immediately, whether
the number be such as may bo filled
by those who have been found to
stand in the first rank of availablity
must go forward. In other words all
these millions of men who one year
ago were an inert mass have become
a mobile army. Each has found his
place and each in his proper turn has
marched or awaits the order to march.
These results could not have been
accomplished except through the de
voted and unselfish labor of patriots.
•
The local and district boards have
scored an unprecedented triumph and
have earned the undying gratitude of
the nation. Their achievement is one
of the great successes of the war.
They have already sent into camp, in
cluding those under orders for June
mobilization, an army of more than a
million and a half men. They have al
ready produced as soldiers one man
out of every six registrants and the
world stands In profound astonish
ment as it views this accomplishment.
Statistically stated, the local boards
have sent, and are sending their reg
istrants to camp in the following num
bers:
September general ...296,678

Compensated poorly If at all, except
by the gratitude apd affection of their
neighbors and of the nation at large,
the boards have labored incessantly
through the enervating heat of last
summer, only to find still greater
tasks awaiting their unceasing devo
tion throughout the rigors of the fol
lowing winter period. Then, having
accomplished the classification, they
found themselves confronted with the
mobilization of millions of men and
accurately and promptly they have
performed and are performing this la
bor.
Much work yet remains. Today
the new men of twenty-one are being
registered and must be speedily clas
sified. On the first of next month
the local and district boards will be
invested with the still further respon
sibility of preventing idleness and of
unproductive employment which is
not effective to the nation in the
emergency. Some boards will review*
tlieir work and correct these inequali
ties which have been unavoidable in
so tremendous an undertaking
The nation, however, with full con
fidence in the men who have per
formed these great tasks in the past,
faces the future without foreboding.
The splendid work of our local and
district boards and of the other great
body of volunteers has filled us with
admiration. They have been tried
and found true and so long as this
war may last, our people are happy
in the complete assurance that this
great organization wril not fail the na
tion.
