| A telegram received today by J. |
j 0. Rathbone, U. S. military registrar1
(from Skagway states that Americans
j registering in Dawson and' vicinity j
■ and intending to go outside soon:
may find it advisable to give Skag- j
way as their home address, especial- |
ly so If they d«esire to go to British
Columbia ports, as on arrival at
Skagway the local board then can
handle the matter so that the men
can leave by either American or
Canadian boats. Letters received
here from Vancouver in the last
man state that no Americans of
military age are allowed to take
Canadian boats for the south, the
Dresumption being that an American
once registered and in American ter
ritory is a potential soldier and not
privileged to go to any other coun
try without permission of the local
Board which has control of him.
The telegram received today came
from Charles Jeaneret, Jr., and is as
follows:
"Skagway, Alaska, Oct. 1, 1918.—
John C. Rathbone, Dawson, Y. T.—
Owing to my experience here, would
suggest men und<er both man power
acts leaving Dawson for States
should have their home address |
transferred to Skagway, wlllch would
enable them to leave here either
via Vancouver or direct to Seattle),
on permission of board here, and"
I their induction papers can be for
warded to address outside desired.
