CHTNA,s EYL SPIRIT.

Picking Since Chang Hsuu's over
throw and the defeat of the short-lived
monarchy, evil spirits have been re-
ported by supersutious Chinese in the
vicinity of Chang Hsun's headquar-
ters in the Forbidden City They are
alleged TO be the spirits Of Chang
Hsun's soldiers who were killed in
the bombardment OF his headquarters.
Every night they are supposed TO ap-
pear and proclaim loudly, We were
not fairly treated"
In an effort to appease the spirits,
priests have been employed 10 chant
before affairs erected in the compound
formerly occupied by General Chang
Hsun, and generous offerings Of food
are made nightly

Urges That Registration Day
Be Made National Occasion
for Patriotic Demonstration

The state councils of defense are
urged in a letter. sent by the council
Of national defense through Director
Clifford to CO cooperate heartily in making
the army registration day, June S.
day of conservation to service in ac-
cordance with the spirit of President
Wilson's message to the country.
The national council suggests that
the day be celebrated in serious spirit,
not as an ordinary holiday. and that
costly and elaborate decorations be
discoura ged. Each community Is asked
to make it's celebration a public ex-
preston of willingness to give tho
services of its sons to the country.
In outlining a program for observing
the day, the council proposes that fire
and church bells be rung and whistles
blown at In, the hour of opening
the registra ton booths: that bands
play near the booths; that men of
registra ton age be escorted to the
booths by their families and neighbors
and given a distinctive registering
badge. and that after the registration
has closed patriotic meetings be held.
From press and pulpit and in the
schoolroom.' says the letter, every eff
fort should be expected to impress
upon all citizens their duty at this
vital crisis in the history of our coun-
try Let the words ring forth. The
world must be made safe for democ-
racy.'"
