Be Sure and Register Tomorrow
Registration Facts
Seven Points to Bear in Mind
Regarding Manpower Mo-
bilizati0n June 5.

There are seven important points
to remember about draft registration,
which the war department asked all
American newspapers to print today.
Here they are:
l.-There is only one day for regis
tratiOn and that is Tuesday, June S.
1917.
2.-Every male resident of the Unit
ed States who has passed his 21st
and not reached his 3lst birthday must
register, with the exception of men,
bers Of the army, navy and marines,
members of the national guard or ma
val militia while in federal service,
and men Of the reserve corps while
in active service.
3.-RegiStratiOn is distinct from
draft and all must register, regardless
of claims to exemption.
4.-The penalty for failure to regis
ter is not fine, but imprisonment.
5.-Sick persons should send at
once for registration blanks and
should fill these out and send them
to the registrars OF their voting pre-
cincts with selfaddressed stamped en-
velopes for the return Of certificates.
The blanks are supplied by county
clerks and in cities of more than 3d.
900, by city clerks.
6.--Persons who expect to be absent
from their voting precincts registra-
ton day should apply at once to
county or city clerks, wherever they
may be in stopping, for registration
blanks, fill them out and submit them
to the county or city clerks. The
clerks will record the answers and
return the cards, which should be
mailed promptly to the registrars Of
the absentees' home precincts. Self
addressed. stamped envelops should
be enclosed to insure return OF regis
tration certificates.
7.-Registration booths will be open
from a. m. to 8 p. m. June 5.
The war department urged that
every man within the conscription
age limits study theses seven points
carefully.

Situation in Russia Still Acute Is.
pecia1ly in Kronstadt Where
Revolution Is in Progress
(By Associated Press J

There seems ample evidence that
the Germans are ready to sacrifice
any number of men to hold the situ-
alton on the western front in hand.
Along the French line they are max.
ing almost ceaseless counter attacks.
Despite sanguinary repulses Sunday
on the Vaucelerc and California pla.
teau, they made a new thrust last
night along the Chemin des Danes
plateau. Paris reports that the Crown
princes troops took some advance
French trenches.
The British have not been so active
recently in counter attacks, but when.
ever they essayed an advance they
found dense masses of Germans op-
posing them The British official state
ment does not mention any further
fighting in the vicinity of Lens, and
apparently General Haig has not
pressed further his advance made
yesterday. &&J l'
In an independent operation to the
south, the British last night recap
tured posts taken by Germans in at.
tacks Saturday.
Situation Uncertain.
The situation in Russia continues
uncertain. While better reports have
come from the army at the front, Min
lister of War Kerensky declares the
government is constantly increasing
in power Conditions in Petrograd
are becoming still more unsettled.
Kronstadt will be declared morally
boycotted, outlawed and cut OF from
the rest of the empire unless 1t inl'
mediately witlldraws it's defiance to
the provisional government. e.
This statement was made to the
Associated Press today by Ministet OF
Justice Perevizeff.
"Kronstadt's defiance was discussed
yesterday by the council Of minis
ters," he said. "All agree that the
government must now tolerate dec
larations of independence by separate
districts. In this we are absolutely
supported by the Petrograd council

We are convinced that the universal
reprobation of Russia will bring the
extremists to reason.
I'VE do not take this revolt too
seriously. Formerly when we had
trouble in Kronstadt. we temporized
,oecause we feared the result OF stern
measures if the Germans attacked.
y ately we have taken measures which
makes attack impossible. Therefore
no harm can come to Russia from any

Answer to Inquiries as to How Con-
tributions Are Made.

The Star has already received in
quiries from readers who noted in the
special feature section of yesterdays
issue an exposition and explanation Of
the great work of caring for the thou
sands of war orphans OF France, the

Inquiries have been largely on the
question of where to send contributions
through which one or more orphans

partially for a specific time, for it so
happened that this information was not
contained in the story
Contributions to this worthy cause
may be sent to Miss Harriet Winslow,
treasurer of the Washington committee.

ceived and promptly acknowledged.

iy guaranteed the support of some sew
enty-hve OF these orphans, in addition
10 the support of more than two hun
dred others previously pledged here. A
number have been subscribed for by
employees of federal departments.
