The above is a full and complete list of all persons who registered on June 5, 1918, and all persons are urged to examine the list carefully and if there is a man in your community who was 21 years of age on or before the 5th day of June 1918, whose name is not on the list it is your duty to report him at once to the Local Board of Breathitt County, together with any information or proof you may be in possession of and upon your failure to do so you are yourself as bad a slacker as he is a deserter. Many young men are being called to the colors and it is not fair nor right that some men should unlawfully escape and it will not be permitted by the government. Those who haven't registered may do so yet.
