PLANS FOR DRAFT
ROLL COMPLETED
Begistration Will Be Taken at
Begular Polling Places in
Lower End Boroughs
The draft registration of all men
between the ages of 21 and 30 years,
both inclusive, will be made to-mor
row at the regular polling places In
Steelton, Highspire and Middletown
boroughs. Registrars and assistants
have been appointed and a number of
interpreters have volunteered their
services to help in listing foreigners.
Co-operation of the Bethlehem Steel
and Middletown Car Company officials
together with many of the borougli
residents, is expected to be a big aid
in the task of enrolling the thousands
of men of draft age.
Several hundred nonresidents, inc
cluding many southern negroes at
the Locust Grove camp, have already
been registered by special registrars
sworn in recently by Sheriff W. W.
Caldwell. Two places have been open
for this work, one at the camp and
the other in Adams street.
Officials are prepared to prevent
any attempt to evade the draft reg
ister or refusal to enroll. No trou
ble Is expected, however, but precau
tions are being taken. It Is estimated
that the boroughs of the lower end
of the county will have a registra
tion total of approximately one thou
sand names, among them many aliens,
declarants and naturalized citizens
because of the foreign population. So
far a spirit of hearty cO-operatlon has
been shown by every one to carry
out all requirements of the registra
tion act.
In their efforts to assist county of
ficials in the registration, local steel
officials have posted notices through
out the plant explaining how to reg
ister and have notified all department'
superintendents to see that their men
understand It clearly. The company
has also given the services of an In
terpreter and several employes to as
sist in the work to-morrow.

Where Duty Calls j
The Loyal American is NEVER wanting
There —Even though that service call HIM beyond the
mighty deep to help quell the dastardly deeds that would
wreck the world —Forth to the conflict the Loyal Ameri
cans (many of our own Harrisburg boys) go, resolved that
RIGHT and deeds of valor shall win the victory which lies
beyond the sea.
But if you cannot cross the ocean and explore infested
Europe-you can help this NATION to preserve and maintain the name
it has so nobly won-that of a righteous peace loving people-The eyes of
I the world are upon the people of the "UNITED STATES" and buying
a Liberty Bond will go a long way to relieving the down-trodden and
oppressed—Will hasten to overthrow vice and greed for gain—act
quickly—DO YOUR DUTY NOW.
Another duty (you who stay at home) owe
your country is to "KEEP BUSINESS GOING," in that
way only can America continue to hold first place and win
the war. All depends upon our constructive thoughts
quick action —and united energy, whether we shall main
tain the High Standard we now possess lf you want
