Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 9: October 20, 1917 There were a few 'men who failed to register on June 5th, who had a notion that they could escape. They soon learned that Uncle Sam was much better prepared to carry out his plans than they had ever dreamed of, and gradually they came in to register or sent in their registration cards. The fathers and mothers, whose sons were registered, were vigilant in seeing that all their neighbors' sons were registered. Publication by newspapers of lists of the men registered proved a great help to the government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
