selective army conscription totaled
2O,4s0. fully 1000 in excess Of the
number expected.

mostly in the Fifth ward and in coun-
try districts were not completed until

Government to Be Fair.
Governor Neville added that the
government officials are disposed to
be fair with those who have failed to
register, provided they will be fair
with the government.
The date for calling the grand jury
has not been announced. 1t is under
stood that parties who have not reg
istered may do so any time prior to
the convening of the grand jury and
that by so doing they will escape
prosecution.
Government officials who have been
in Omaha and the state have the
names of a number of young men
who did not register Tuesday and are
getting more. They believe that long
prior to the coming together of the

who have not registered in the mean-
time will be indicted and vigorously
prosecuted. }s

President Objects to
Relaxing of Labor Laws

Washington, June 6.-Presdent
Wilson today in a letter to Governor
Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania ex-
pressed his opposition to relaxing
laws by which safeguards have been
thrown about labor, as war meas
ure.
II feel that there is no necessity
for such action" wrote the president
"and that it would lead to a slacken-
ing OF the energy Of the nation rather
than TO increase it, besides being very
unfair to the laboring people them
selves" y

With BRITISH IN
CHASE FOR diver
Destroyers. Of Two Nations
Now Actively Engaged in
Policing European Waters
in Subsea Boat Hunt.

The British Port Base of the Amer.
ican Flotila Via London), June g.
The American destroyers have com.
pleted their first month of active serv-
ice in the great war. They have
been favored with excellent weather
which is a big factor in anti-subma-
rine warfare. Most of the time they
have had sunny skies and smooth
seas, with just enough squall and
storm TO put their seamanship to test
The fayorably weather conditions
made their task of learning the
technique of anti-submarine warfare
much simpler and easier.
The American boats are assigned
to work hand-in-hand with the British
squadron, being virtually assimilated
into the British naval machinery here.
A destroyer is usually out from four
or five days and then returns to port
for two or three days while coaling
and loading supplies. Thus every
American sailor gets at least half a
day shore leave practically every
week.
Americans Take Turn.
The Americans take their turn with
the British boats in all routine work
of patrol and convoy. The work, al
though largely routine, is interesting,
and the Americans have never yet
found time hanging heavy on their
hands. The lookout must be constant
and eyes must be trained to an unbe.
lievable degree of keenness. The
young Americans take zealously to
this business of finding the periscopic
needle in the nautical haystack, and
daily reports of submarines sighted, of
observations made, OF wireless warm
ings sent broadcast show that the
American boats are already making
an average of results almost as salts.
factory as the long experienced Brit.
ish boats, with which they are op-
Grating.
There has been no actual battle a:
yet between an American destroyer
and the enemy, although several re-
ports show that U-boats have beer
sighted and have been compelled to
beat a hasty retreat to the depths
Of the sea.
A Liner From Home.
An assignment to convoy linei
from lhome," that is, from an Amer
ican port, is regarded as an especial,
choice morsel. A transatlantic
liner, which sights the American flag
approaching to escort her to land
never fails to respond with a great
waving of figs and handkerchief:
from her decks, and there is fine
exchange of wig-wag signals in liet
of handshakes.
Several American liners can al

Upon sight of the submarine the
steamer hoisted the American flag and
waited for about ten minutes. As the
submarine approached the steamer

steamer kept speed that would per-
nit the submarine to come within

for an hour and half. The subma-
rine came toa distance Of about $500
yards. By that time the submarine
had fired thirty-fvc shots and the

the steamer apparently struck the
submarine, which raised clear out of
the water and stood stern end up for
a few seconds. Then it disappeared.
The captain of the steamer and the

Protest About Ship Seizure

Rio Janeiro, June 6.--Brazil has re-

against the requisitioning of German
ships with declaration that the re-
public has acted within the strict lin
its Of the law, even as interpreted
by Germany. The Brazilian reply
says in part:
"The utilization of German ships
by Brazil follows the torpedoing of
Brazilian merchant ships and assures,
directly and Immediately, although by
force, satisfaction for the losses
caused by German submarines.
Brazil has taken step which all
nations should take, even without
abandoning its state of peace, for the
