A YULETIDE PRAYER

Oh, holy night,
Oh, blessed morn,
Oh, day, when hope and love were born
To free deSpairing nations,
Oh day oh hour, when darkness fled
And in its wake
Eternal life sped on,
Yield to this luctidt peace
Oh, holy star,
Oh, placid night,
When on the deserts lonesome waste
The Wise Men awaking saw
That token OF mighty birth
And FASTENED on
To Bethlehem and Christ;
Oh, holy star once more
Retell thy message
Oh, blessed peace,
Oh, silent night,
When through the deserts revrenl calm
A song OF triumph burst forth
And heraded the Christ Chlld's birth
The Wise Men heard
And followed the guiding star
Oh, holy sound, unfold
Thy concord once again.
Oh, quiet town,
Oh, Bethlehem,
Where lay in humble state the Child
Thy name was Rome--thst night,
Thy' ruler then the Prince OF Peace;
The manger mean
Then mightier than a throne
Oh, Perfect Child, permit
The luletide blessing.

 We now call on all patriotic citizens to assist the registration committee of each county in per- forming its duties on June 8; in urging men who are liable to registration to do their bit;;" and in making of registration day an occasion to show to the world that the blood of the pa- triots of the Revolution still throbs in the veins of American freemen.
 Other states will fittingly an swer the country's call. Let the people of Arkansas so conduct themselves that in the years to come no descendant of ours shall ever have cause to feel ashamed of the star that repre- sents us in the flag which the world has learned to honor as the emblem of liberty.

YOU MUST RECIS-
 TER JUNE 9TH.

Congress has passed a law providing that on June , every male citizen between the ages of 21 and 31 shall report to the polling place in the voting pre- cinct where he resides and there register. Heavy penalties will be enforced upon those who fail to.comply. The object of this registration is not to conscript all men between these two ages for immediate service. 1t is es- timated that there are 10000, 900 men subject to registration. The government must know at once what man-poWer 1t has to depend upon and must have some means of locating and clas- sifying these men for the vari- ous kinds of service. It must have means of discriminating so as to know, for example, what men should be left in agricultu- ral work or other occupations, what men should be employed in munition factories and shipyards and what men should undertake military and naval service.
 In August or September 500, 900 men, or one in 20 of those who register, will be called to the colors and will begin to un- dergo training to make them ef- fective soldiers. Later on others will be called, the number being determined by the duration of the war aud it's magnitude.
 The President of the United States, the Department of War and the Governor of Arkansas have asked that registration day be made a National Holiday, which may be converted into a magnificent demonstration Of the unity and patriotism of our country. President Wilson. sin issuing the proclamation an nouncing the date of registra- tion, used these words:
 Tt is in no sense a conscript- ion of the unwilling; it is rather selection from a nation which has volunteered in mass. It is no more choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is selection of those who shall serve an equally necessary and devoted purpose in the in- dustries that lie behind the bat tie line"
 Speaking before the National Defense Conference recently, the Secretary of War said: "All prejudice will be gone if, when this day comes, flags are float ing from public and private buildings and bands are parad- ing the streets. and the people of the cities and the country side are accompanying their sons and brothers and husbands of suitable age to the registration place in the feeling that here in America is the free altar of free institutions, and that every man who is putting his name down is making an acceptable sacrifice. /"
 The Arkansas State Council of Defense urges all patriotic citi- zens and organizations in Arkan- sas to make arrangements at once to hold in all the cities. towns and voting precincts of the State on June 5 public meet ings where patriotic programs will be given. Meetings may be held in churches, school houses or other convenient places. The initiative may be taken by ans individual or organization. Time and place may be fixed accord ing to local convenience,
 The program may consist of band music. singing of national airs. flag raising. reading of the Declaration of Independence, roo aipr If tha praci1ant,c prno

the community or county, Sel- ting forth the origin of the war, the events that forced the Uni ted States to enter 1t, and the objects for which we are fight ing. Every such address should emphasize the necessity of sub scriptions to the Liberty Loan. There are thousands of people in Arkansas who are perfectly able to buy a bond for $50 or $100 or more who do not realize the necessity of helping to float this loan. The banks of the State have risen to the occasion and will offer opportunity for buying bonds by means of small payments.
 It is suggested also that there be at each registration place a committee of ladies to serve lun- cheon to the enrolling officers, and to see that each man enroll ed has some evidence of the fact that will be apparent to pass ers-by. A small piece of red, white and blue ribbon, or the blue enrolment card, might be pinned on each man. Volunteer committees to assist in getting men to and from the registration places can also be of great ser vice. Many people will doubt less donate the use of hacks and automobiles.i
 The people of Arkansas. as yet far removed from the scene of conflict, pursuing peacefully the daily routine of their lives, wish ing only to be unmolested in the conduct of their affairs, and not having at hand the sources of information possessed by the United States Government, dol not realize the magnitude of the crisis confronting the nation. We are not at war with Ger many because of the sinking of a few ships and the destruction of a few American lives. If that were the cause, we would have declared war immediately after the sinking of the Lusitania.
 We entered the war because the President and the Congress of the United States whom we have chosen to direct our Gov ernment and to conserve our national interests, having at their command means of secur- ing information not accessible to the private citizen, became ab- solutely certain that the question this war is to settle is whether the world including America is to be free or is to be slave to Germany; that a German victo- " oyer England and France would be followed, as certainly as the night follows the day. by an immediate attack on America. The question is: Shall we prefer to fight Germany after she has conquered the Allies and has strengthened herself with all the resources of France and England including the British Navy, or shall we join in while we may have help?
 Germany may be likened to an armed maniac. destroying life and property, who is being held by citizens whom he is trying to <, murder. Should another citizen remain 8 peaceful bystander, awaiting his turn at the hands of the madman, or should he at- tempt to subdue the maniac while there is yet time?
 The story of German aggress- ion against America Is long and sordid. It includes the filling of a friendly country with spies there IS good evidence that there are at least 100, 900 of these in the United States now; it in- cludes the blowing up of facto-
