PLANS FOR CELEBRATING
REGISTRATION DAY.
State Council of Defense Re-
quest All to Help Make Il
a Memorable Day.
Nashville, May "a, 1917.

Rutledge Smith, Chairman of
the State Council of Defense, re-
ceiyed today from the Council of
National Defense recommends
tions offered for the celebration
of Registration Day.
The President has by proclaim
alton established Tuesday, June
18th for Registration Day, and
has set forth the purpose of the
day and the spirit which should
be manifested thereon in the fol-
lowing words:
''The day here named is the
time upon which all shall present
themselves for assignment to
their tasks. 1t is for that rea-
son destined to be remembered
as one of the most conspicuous
moments in our history. It is
nothing less than a day upon
which the manhood of the coun-
try shall step forward in one
solid rank in defense of the ideals
to which this nation is consecrat-
ed. 1t is important to those
ideals no less than to the pride
of this generation in manifest
ing it's devotion to them that
there be no gaps in the ranks.
1T is essential that the day be
approached in thoughtful appre-
hension of its significance and
that we accord to it the honor
and the meaning that it deserves.
Our industrial need prescribes
that it be not made a technical
holiday, but the stern sacrifice
that is before us urges that it be
carried in all our hearts as a
great day of patriotic devotion
and obligation when the duty
shall lie upon every man, wheth-
er he is himself to be registered
or not, to see to it that the name
of every male person of the de-
signated ages is written on these
lists of honor. /"
Registration Day should be cell
ebrated as a conservation of the
, American people to service and
! to sacrifice. Il should be a well
J come to those registering. 1t
should be a public expression by
each community of willingness
to surrender its sons to the coun-
, try.
1t should be celebrated in a
serious spirit and kept as Regis
I tration Day only. 1t must be
! distinguished from the ordinary
o holiday. No other object SHOULD
be allowed to intrude; thereon.
II Elaborate and costly decora-
e tions should be discouraged. The
a spirit of volunteer service in all

SECOND INCREMENT -
TO BE CALLED EARLY

Discussion OF the ACCESSIBILITY Of
expediting the call for the second in.
crement OF the draft army now is in
progress at the war department. and
may be fixed for some time in Dccem-
Der or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
Of $500 men is now far enough ad.
vanced to show clearly that there will
be big deficiency for the seventeen
national army divisions. More than
100000 of the first increment are still
to be assembled, but it already is evi.
dent that there will be available at
the sixteen environments quarters for
an additional regiment at each post
and at some for full brigade Of
two regiments.
The strength of the new reGimental
organization is $500 men. With a
regiment lacking at each cantonment.
this alone would mean a shortage OF
nearly fifty thousand men. In add
ton there has been authorized a sep.
arate division of negro troops, which
means nearly thirty thousand men
withdrawn from the general number
assigned TO the sixteen cantonments
The shortage is due partially 10 the
necessity of taking out of the ma.
tional army men TO fill up national
