THE BEE; OMAHA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 81, 1917. Nebraska SEND REGISTRATION BLANKSTO WOMEN More Than Three Hundred Thousand of Them Are Be ing: Distributed From Lin coln to State Residents (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 30. (Special.) Dis tribution of registration cards for woman's registration day, September 12, are being sent out today under the direction of Airs. A. E. Sheldon and a corps of assistants. The cards are being sent to the chairman of the woman's council in each county and by them will be in turn distributed to the different precinct chairmen. M ore than -300.000 cards are being sent out, it being estimated that there are approximately 400.000 women of proper age, in the state, which is from 16 years up, though it is not expected that all will register. The registration for service will not impose additional duties upon 'oinen who are already in some serv ice along war lines. For instance, those in Red Cross work can register and the registration will show that they are in that work, consequently , no additional duties will be required of them unless they so designate. ' The object of the registration is to .give the government an index as to how many women are ready fosjsome service which will be of assistance to the cause. There are 154 items which will give an opportunity for those who register to give the line of work they are engaged in and also as to wnetner tney desire training in any other line. When the registrations are com pleted the precinct board will report to the county board, the county board will report to the state chairman and each state chairman will report to the national board. In this way the government will at all times know where to call for service. Wymore Man May Not Get Passport He Desires (From a Staff Correspondent ) Lincoln, Aug. 30. (Special.)
