instructions as to how they may ac-l
complish their registration by mail.
In case such persons as, through
sickness or absence, may be unable
to present themselves personally Tor
registration shall be sojournlng In
the cities of over thirty thousand pop
ulation, they shall apply to the city
clerk of the city wherein they
NAV be sojourning rather than to
the clerk of the county. The
clerks of the counties and of cities
Of over thirty thousand population
in which numerous applications from

deputize such clerical force as may
be necessary to accommodate these
applications.
Must Arm the Nation
The power against which We are
arrayed has sought to impose its
will upon the world by force. To this
end it has increased armament until
it has changed the face of war; In
the sense in which We have been wont
to think of armies there are no ar
mics in this struggle. There are en-
tire nations armed. Thus, the men
who remain to till the soil and man
the factories are no less a part OF
the army in France than the men
beneath the battle flags. 1t must be
so with US. It is not an army that
we must shape and train for war;
it is a nation. To this end our peo-
pie must draw close in one compact
front against common foe. But this
can not be if each man pursues a
private purpose. All must pursue
one purpose. The nation needs all
men; but it needs each man, not in
the field that will most please him,
but in the endeavor that will be serv-
ing the common good. Thus, though
a sharp shooter pleases to operate a
trip-hammer for forging great guns,
and an expert machinist desires to
march with the flag, the nation is be-
! ing served only when the sharpshoot-
er marches and the machinist re-
mains at his levers. The whole ma
! ton must be a team in which each
man shall play the part for which he
is best fitted. To this end, Congress
has provided that the nation shall be
organized for war by selection and
. that each man shall be classified for
service in the place to which it shall
best serve the general good to call
! him.
Landmark of Progress
The significance of this cannot be
overstated. It is new thing in our
history and landmark in our prog
ress.
It is a new manner of accepting
and vitalizing our duty to give our
selves with thoughtful devotion to
the common purpose Of us all.
It is in no sense a CONSUMPTION of
the unwilling; it is, rather, selection
from nation which has volunteered
in mass. 1t is no more a choosing
of those who shall march with the
colors than it is a selection of those
who shall serve an equally necessary
and devoted purpose in the industries
that lie behind the battle line.
The day here named is the time up
on which all shall present themselves
for assignment to their tasks. 1t is
for that reason destined to be re-
membered as one of the most con-
spicuous moments in our history. 1t
is nothing less than the day upon
The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1917-05-21

which the mankind of the country
shall step forward in one solid rank
in defense of the ideals to which this
nation is consecrated. 1t is import
ant to those ideals no less than to
the pride of this generation in man
ifesting it's devotion to them, that
there be no gaps in the ranks.
Day of Patriotic Devotion
1t is essential that the day be ap-
preached in thoughtful apprehension
of its significance and that we ac-
cord to it the honor and the mean
ing that it deserves. Our industrial
need prescribes that it be not made
a technical holiday, but the stern sac
rifice that is before us urges that
it be carried in all our hearts as a

SHOW MAKES HIT
Deth!efsen Benefit Nets Good Sum And Is
 Much Enjoyed

The entertainment and dance given at the Coliseum last night for the benefit of James E. Dethlefsen, former town watch man who recently lost the fingers of both hands as the result of freezing his hands on the night of the Cramer fire, was a huge success in every way-artistically, socially and financially-and reflects much credit on those in charge of the arrangements. The exact amount real ized had not been determined at the time of going to press, owing to the fact that a number of tickets had not been account ed for, but 1t is believed that the pro- ceeds will aggregate $500.
 The program consisted of an excellent two-reel comedy entitled Mabel at the Wheel" recitation, Steve O'Neil; solo, Little Miss Persons; cartoons, Carl Col leen; songs, quartet consisting of MeSsrs. Crawford. Monlb Mallar and Richardson; boxing exhibition, Masters Dick Foster and Jack Brev1g; Russian dance, Sam Betoff; original poem, Dick Morris; solo, Miss Jane Anderson; harmonica solo, An thony Letray.
 All the numbers were so excellent, and so thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi ence. that it would be difficult to say which made the biggest hit, unless II was the bantam fstIc encounter, which took the house by storm.
 During the dance which followed the entertainment, Bob Crawford and Bob Mahar sang My Northland," one of Mir Crawford's OWL compositions. The two boys, by the way, came all the way from their place at Joyce Lake to take part ill the entertainment. Another fea- ture of the dance was the railing ot a beautiful birch bark painting, which was given to the cause by Fred Zickwolff. It was won by Charles Leckie, who imnled- lately put it up at auction. It was sold several. times i'll this manner, until final ly hid in by MT. Riggs and carried of by him as a souvenir of the occasion, More than S50.00 was realized in this manner.

Washington, Jan.1 1.-The long
delayed answer to President Will
sons peace note has arrived and the
contents are made public for the
first time. The answer says that the
Entente allies respect sentiment
but are going ahead with warlike
preparations. Among things insisted
upon by the Entente allies is the ex-
pulsion of the Turk from Europe,
and the restorations of the Kingdoms
Of Belgian, Montenegro and Serbia.
The Allies say they have a pro-
found desire for peace and hope
that the United States will use her
influence to end the crual and in
human war as soon as possible.
In conclusion to the note says that
the allied governments believe that
they must protest in the most
friendly, but in the most specific
manner against the assimilation es-
tablished in the American note be-
tween the two groups Of beligerents.
The terms outlined are as follows: !:

.rHAW TRIES TO
end HIS LIFE
Cuts His Throat When Brought
To Bay. viii Live

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE spec
tacular career of Harry Kendall
Thaw is not yet ended. Hunted by
the police of a dozen cities and
faced by the possibility Of being
doomed to an insane asylum or .
prison for life, the man who killed
Stanford White and whose wild es-
capades stirred two continents,
slashed his throat and wrist with a
razor early today, according to the
N. o. American.
Thaw's mad act was committed in
Ia west Philadelphia rooming house.
He had sought refuge here, under
an assumed name, to avoid arrest
on criminal charges brought against
him in New York by Fred K. Gump,
Jr., . Kansas City school boy.
Removed to . private room in st.
Mary's hospital after . lapse Of
hours, the famous fugitive was plac-
ed in the hands Of . number Of sur
geons, including his own physician,
DR.. Ellwood ]. Kirby.
Twenty stitches were taken in two
wounds on the left side Of his neck
and ten in the left wrist, where a
diagonal sweep of the razor severed
a small artery.
"Thaw will recover" declared DR..
Kirby tonight. However, he is terri
bly, weakened by loss of blood and
his brain will hardly function. He
will not be ina condition to be re-
moved from the hospital for a long
period, perhaps weeks.
Thaw had evidently intended to
do away with himself by poison. A
tablet of bichloride of mercury was
found in the pocket of his blood
saturated coat. Careful medical ex-
animation failed to disclose evidence
that he had taken of the poison.
