With the closing of each registra-
ton precinct officials went at once to
the task of sorting and classifying
the cards. There is much work to be
done in order that the brief synopsis
which each Governor will make to
Gen Crowder of the registration of
his State may 60 forward promptly.
Gen Crowder is hopeful that an
other thirty.six hours will see the full
record of the country on his desk.
Today's registration included only
continental United States. Alaska
and Hawaii will record their fighting
men on dates to be set later ,and the
roll of Americans now abroad who
are now besieging consulates all over
the world for registration cards will
add to the great list.
Gen Crowder made it clear that
registration acted as bar against
no man who wishes to enlist in the
army or navy.
Any man who enrolled himself to-
day, but whose patriotic impulse bids
him step into the ranks now and not
await selection day, will pass from
the registration lists automatically.
A man may take his choice as to the
part of the great national army in
which he will serve. regulars. Ma

Washington, June 5:-More than
ten million young Americans enroll
ed themselves today for war service.
Registration day, with but a few
weeks of preparation, saw the first
military census ever taken in the
United States completed without a
single Acknowledgement consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the Presidents call and volunteered
in mass. setting at naught all the
schemes and plottings Of German
sympathizers and the few cranks who
have agitated against registrations.
1t remains but to select the wen who
are to go e the front.
From virtually every State reas-
suring messages came tonight to
Brig Gen Crowder. provost marshal
general, federal supervising officer
of the great enterprise.
While no complete returns from
any State were transmitted up to a
late hour, the Governors were unani-
NOUS in reporting that complete
quiet had prevailed throughout the
