"Thus, the men who remain to till
the soil and man the factories are no
less part Of the army that is in
France than the men beneath the bat
tie flags. It must be so with US.
1T is not an army that we must
shape and train for war; it is a ma.
ton. To this end our people must
draw close in one compact front
against a common foe. But this can
not be If each man pursues a pri-
vate purpose. All must pursue one
purpose.
"The nation needs all men; but it
needs each man, not in the field that
will most please him, but in the en-
deavor that will best serve the com
mon good.
"Thus, though sharpshoote,
pleases to operate a triphammer fol
the forging of great guns and an ex
pert machinist desires to march with
the flag, the nation is being served
only when the ~sharpshooter marches
and the machinist remains at his
levers.
'Thes whole nation must be team
in which each man shall play the part
for which he is best fitted.
ITO this end congress has provid.
ed that the nation shall be organized
for war by selection and that each
man shall be classified for service in
the place to which it shall best serve
the general good to call him.
Landmark In Our Progress.
1.-THE significance of this cannot be
overstated. It is a new thing in our
history and landmark in our prog.
ress. It is new manner Of accept.

It is a selection of those who shall
serve an equally necessary and de-

lie behind the battle line.
1.-THE day here named is the time
which all shall present themselves fol-

that reason destined to be remember
ed as one of the most conspicuous mo

less than the day upon which the man.

ideals to which this nation is conse

no less than to the pride Of this gen:
Grafton in manifesting its devotion to
them that there be no gaps in the
ranks.
1T is essential that the day be ap
preached in thoughtful apprehension
of its significance and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning that il
deserves.
"Our industrial need prescribes that
it be not made technical policy, but
the stern sacrifice that is before us
urges that it be carried in all ouI
hearts as great day of patriotic de.
votion and obligation when the duty

is himself to be registered or not, to
see to it that the name of every male
person of the designated age is writ.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace
proposals is regarded here as the higr
water mark of the war. Furthermore,
it is indicative OF the virtual selection
of the president by the allies. as their
spokesman before the world.
The note comes as a climax to the
remarkable series of state documents
in which President Wilson has argued
the of the world democracy
against autocracy in the high court of
public opinion, and accepted more and
more BIZ the people of all the allied.
countries as expressing their ideals.
United States Selected.
There appears to be no doubt that
the United States was selected to
make answer before the world, in adj
vance of all the others. Whether the
entente nations will send extensive re-
plies is not known here. 1t is regard
ed as probable that they will in large
measure adopt the presidents reason
ing for their own and send notes of
endorsement. -
