tern fror.t is contained in a letter re-
frcm Keith Miller by his
brother. George F. Miller. Keith is in
an artillery .egiment of the French
army and has recently been trans- j
s_ 1 ferred to a point on the fighting |
front. His letter to his brother in I
Norman is as.follows:
of 1,200 Men.
With 2,232 registrations to her
credit, instead of 2,120 as estimates
by the adjutant general, Cleveland
county went "over the top" in the
nation-wide listing of men for mili-
tary service Thursday. Furthermore!,
the local board promptly made its
report to Adjutant General Gipson at
noon Friday, thus assisting him to
make an early report to Provost Mar-
shal Crowder.
Registrations in the county show-
ed a great preponderance of native-
born and white citizens. There were
relatively few naturalized or alien
registrants, and not a great many of
other races than white. The reports
made to the adjutant general desig-
i nate in each case the racial and cit
izenship data on each registrant.
6-1 East Leads Precincts
Township 6-1 East, in the southern
part of the county, led all precincts
in the number of men registered. One
| hundred and sixty-five men were list-
ed in this district. The smallest num-
ber was in 7-2 West, where only 32
men. all white, were liste.d
The total Norman registration, not
including the cards received by the
local board nor the registration at the
state hospital, was 432. At the state
j hospital, where the registration was
1 conducted by Dr. D. W. Griffin, su-
perintendent, 135 whites and 37 ne-
groes were registered, making a to-
tal of 172. The local board received
the cards of 74 whites and two In-
Jjan citizens, making a total of 7G.
Registration Works Smothly
The registration machinery, as di-
rected by the local board and the as-
sisting committee of the council of
defense, worked smoothly, and most
of the reports of the registrars were
in the hands of Chairman H. 0. Mil-
ler Thursday night. One or two re-
mained out. however, until rather
late Friday morning, but in spite of
the delay a prompt report was made
to the adjutant general.
Work has already begun on the
making of the serial list of regis-
trants. For this work a number of
volunteers appeared, and two univer-
sity professors, James I. Tucker and
H. E. Cunningham, were given the
task of preparing the list. The ser-
ial numbers will be rapidly assigned
to the men and within a day or two
the complete list forwarded to the ad-
jutant general in Oklahoma •City.
