WASHINGTON. D. c.. June T.
Attorney General Gregory in COM
menting on the quietness with which
registration day passed off in the var
ious cities Of the country, said that
the results were highly pleasing and
that the anticipated organized resis-
tance to the military draft had failed
to materialize. and that while there
had been sporadic cases of resistance
to the commands of the authorities
that no serious rioting had occurred.
He had expected that few men in
each community would resist con-
scription. but that the universal res
ponse to the call was gratifying to
the federal authorities.
Provost General Crowder told the
Senate that the military committee
in the War Department planned
drafting a million and half men
from the registration Tuesday. and
that while the exemptions might pos
sibly reach 100000 the department
anticipated little difficulty in secur-
ing the first quota.

be possible for the Seward aggrega-
ton to secure game with Valdez on

the proposed game. but there is little
doubt but that he will accept the
challenge and make arrangements to
give the Terminal City a run for their
money. Ball games between visiting
teams and the Valdez team are too
