Peaceful Than General Elections; Sum Total of

MILLION TO BE SELECTED TO
TRAIN FOR NATIONAL ARMY
(Bg Leased Wire to New Mericau)

WASHINGTON, d. G., June 6-America's millions of
men of military age prescribed by congress are registered for
the war against Germany. IN every state reports were being
assembled for transmission to the war department. The next
step will be the selection of those who actually are to bear arms.
The men selected, about a million as now estimated, will be
called to the colors and put in training early in the fail. Only
four arrests were reported officially to the department Of JUS
tce last night and it was pointed out today that even the sum
of unofficial reports of trouble indicate that the day was more
peaceful than most general elections. Department of justice
representatives at San Francisco telegraphed that at II o'clock
last night 26,6OO of those registered had been counted. OF this
number 1900 claimed exemption and 1888 were aliens. The.
estimated registration for San Francisco is 10000.
The unofficial report of registration in Oakland, Califor-
MIA, is 1928. According to the census estimate it should have
been 22,921,
kilograms from the governors of California, Arizona and
Colorado report heavy registration, but give no figures. Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder today notified all governors
that he had interpreted the Jaw to permit any who in good
faith failed to register yesterday to do so today, and announced
that a liberal policy would be pursued to make the registration
complete. No entirely complete returns are expected before
late today.

In the course of the investigation
that followed the arrest of the youth
full trio it developed they, claimed
German money had been offered them
and they had refused it.
The three are charged, not with a
violation of the new sedition law, but
with a violation of section 81 of the
federal laws, which deals with con-
spiracy to commit an offense against
the United States. The reason for this
is that although the three prepared a
pamphlet urging men to resist con
scription and to refuse to register the
pamphlet was not circulated. Harold
Content, assistant United States at
torney, who made the complaint, says
he nipped the scheme Of the three
youngsters by having them arrested
before the document, which is some
what of a curiosity, could be circu-
lated.
