A bilingual notice, with its Portuguese text beneath the English, marks this Territory of Hawaii poster as a call to a specific registration day on July 31. It tells men aged 21 to 31, "of any nationality," to register in their own precinct. The Portuguese line suggests the poster was meant to reach the islands' large Portuguese-speaking community, many of whom worked on the sugar plantations. It belongs to the wartime draft that followed the Selective Service Act of 1917, and it shows how federal registration was carried out locally in the territory.
