in Alaska are now practically Jm-(
posibla, provisions of regulations re
lating to a voluntary induction in-1
to military service and enlistment
iu the navy or marine corps of
such registrants are not applicable, j
"The following is, therefore, or
dered to be effective until suc.h^
time only as a drawing takes place
iu Alaska..
"No person under the jurisdiction,
of an Alaskan local board will be
considered as within the current
quota. Any such registrant desir
ing enlistment in the navy or ma

into military service may apply to

"Credit for induction accomplish
ed under authority of the telegram
