SERIAL NUMBERS GIVEN TO CORDOVA REGISTRANTS
V
agfURDtfirv
The local exemption board has com
pleted the task of giving serial num
bers to the registrants of Cordova and
vicinity, in accordance with the pro
visions of the draft law. These num
bers should be Carefully read by all
registrants and their own number dis
covered. These are the numbers
which will be used In drawing to make
up Cordova’s quota under the new
army law. The local board has to
date received no definite instructions
as to when the drawing will be made.
. Considerable speculation is rife on this
point, but nothing authoritative has
been issued. It may also be stated
that nobody knows as yet whether or
not the key numbers used in drawing
the men in the states will be applied
to the Alaska list or not. Any state
ment giving information on this point
or purporting to do so is simply the
wild guess of the informant and should
not be accepted as decisive.
The local board will keep the public
informed on all matters within its
knowledge, and immediate notice will
be given when word is received to
select the men for the national army.
Another copy of the list showing the
serier numbers is posted in the office
of the exemption board, in Room 1,
Adams Building. This may be viewed
by persons interested'at an^ time of
the day during business hours. The
board also requests that the general
public read this list and report to it
the names of any persons who should
have been registered and whose
names do not appear. Also the board
will be glad to receive reports of
changes of address when any of the
registrants remove from Cordova. The
burden to keep the board informed is
on the registrants themselves, and in
case of draft and a registrant having
moved away without leaving his ad
dress so that he cannot be notified,
he will be automatically drafted into
the army, and be classed as a deserter,
subject to all military penalties for
deserting.
The total revised registration of
Cordova -jfrecinot is 444. and of this
number 395 did not claim any exemp
tion; 157 claimed dependents; 144
were aliens (allies and neutrals); 38
were of alien enemy countries; 2 were
totally disabled; 1 was a negro. No
occupational exemptions were allowed.
There were none who held legislative
offices. There were only 14 aliens
who claimed exemption. Two claimed
