TO ARREST THE AGITAIORs
Government Sends Out Special Orders
to Keep Close Watch on Anti
Draft Meetings.

Washington, May 31.-Special or
ders were given government officials
throughout the country today TO keep
close watch upon meetings at which
there is likely to be agitation against
registration under the war army act,
and prepare to arrest speakers who
encourage violations of the law
Although the department of justice
is satisfied that German influence and
money is behind efforts in various Sec
tions to interfere with registration, it
is officially stated that the Influences
are regarded as local and sporadic and
not inspired by any serious organized
effort.
Through the committee on public
information, Attorney General Gregory
tonight made this announcement:
The department of justice today
communicated instructions by tele-
graph and long distance telephone to
its officers and agents in communities
wherever meetings are likely to be
held at which agitation against regis
tration as prescribed in the new army
bill might be INDUCED in The United
States attorneys and marshals were
directed to be present or represented
at the meetings, and to have steno-
graphic reports made of the addresses

President Says He Envies Them
For the Work They Heve
Accomplished.
MADE ADDRESS AT ARLINGTON
Speech, He Said-Respond-
ing to Call.

Washington, May 31.-America's re-
Spouse to the call of liberty in the
struggle of the world will hold the at
tention of all mankind. President Will
SON said today in a Memorial day adj
dress at Arlington National cemetery.
In observing the day, he said, the nat
Ural touch of sorrow is tinged with
reinsurance, because knowing how the
men of America have responded to the
call of liberty in times agone, there is
perfect assurance that the new re-
Spouse will come again in equal
measure with equal majesty"
The President spoke in the natural
amphitheater in the cemetery at a
meeting arranged by the local Grand
Army of the Republic and attended by
crowd of thousands. He said he did
not pity the men in whose labor the
ceremonies were held.
Il envy them rather" he went on,
because theirs is a great work for
liberty accomplished, and we are in
the midst of a work unfinished, test
ing our strength where their strength
has already been tested.
THE time for action he said, has
come, and in the providence of God,
America will come once more to have
an opportunity to show the world she
was born to serve mankind.
Envies Work Accomplished.
Il am not here to deliver an adj
Dress" the President said. 81 am here
merely to show in my official capacity
the sympathy of this great govern
ment with the object of this occasion,
and also to speak just a word of the
sentiment that is my own heart
when you reflect on it. these men
who died to preserve the Union, died
to preserve the instrument which we
are now using to serve the world-a
free nation espousing the cause of
human liberty. In one sense, the great
struggle into which we have now en-
tered is an American struggle, be-
cause it is in the sense of American
honor and American rights but it is
something even greater than that; it
is world struggle. 1t is a struggle
of men who love liberty everywhere
! and in this cause America will show
herself greater than ever because she
will rise to a greater thing.
Not Selfishness in Liberty
I'VE have said in the beginning that
we planned this great government that
men who wish freedom might have a
| place of refuge and a place where
their hope could be realized, and now,
| having established such govern
ment, having preserved such a gov
eminent, having indicated the power
| of such government, we are saying
to all mankind, We did not set this
government up in order that we might
have selfish and separate liberty, for
we are now ready to come to your as
sistance and fight out upon the fields
of the world the cause of human lib
erty.' In this thing America attains
her full dignity and the full fruition
| of her great purpose"

Hughes suffered a recurrence of an
old complaint for a few minutes in

into the white house. The policeman
on the front gate, when Mr.. Hughes
arrived in an automobile, insisted on
telephoning for instructions. Mr..
Hughes, becoming impatient, left the
car standing in Pennsylvania avenue
and the guardian of the gate, having
been enlightened, he was permitted
to stride up the front drive with his
coat flying in the cold wind.
But the presidents late opponent
got a warm welcome within.
He came, he said afterwards, to
take his first opportunity of personal
ly assuring the president that he was
with him heart and soul in every
thing he is doing for the vigorous
prosecution of the war The two men
shook hands heartily and talked smil-
ingly for five minutes. Mr.. Hughes
was in Washington for the argument
of a case in the supreme court.

MYSTERY OF CROSS RECALLED

English and Mohammedans Struggling Where Their Anceors
Fought 700 Years Ago. Will "True Cross" Be Found?

Romance has invested none of the
crusades with a brighter halo than
the one carried on by Richard the
Lion Hearted, king Of England. Ger
mans, French and English carried
on this third crusade for the redemp-
ton of the Holy Land and the recov-
cry of the "true cross" The knight
hood of the west and the chivalry of
the east there met and learned to
admire each other. Indeed, one re-
suit Of the crusades is said to have
been a new tolerance and a lessening
of religious prejudices. Some cru
saders became Mohammedans, others
skeptics.
On returning to Europe after six
teen months of inconclusive warfare,
Richard warned the sultan frankly of
his intention to return and renew the
war. If he was to lose Palestine,
Saladin replied, he would rather it
was to Richard than to any other
prince. In the same land English
troops now are approaching Jerusa-
lem. No Occur de Leon in armor
