TEN MILLION
TO REGISTER
FORU.s. ARMY
Work Of Compiling Great Ma
tionaI Military Census Will
Be Completed in Every
State in Few Hours.

Washington. June 3.-Final prep
arations for the registration of more
than 100000 young Americans
Tuesday for war service and for the
prosecution of the disloyal who at
tempt to interfere with the regis
tration, went forward today at the Of
fees of Brigadier General Crowder,
provost marshal general, and Attor-
ney General Gregory.
Into the Office OF General Crowder
will come the reports of the state Of
fcials who are conducting the mill
tary census. Probably by midnight
Tuesday, it will be possible to state
with approximate accuracy the num-
Der of men which have presented
themselves during the four hours of
registration. A week later the lists
of the registrars will have reached
Washington and further analysis will
be possible;
Reports to the Justice department
today gave further proof Of the strict
enforcement of the law forbidding
interference with the process of regis
tration. At the request of any army
recruiting officer, man was arrested
in Hagerstown, Nd, for distributing
literature urging resistance of the new
army law. Eleven others were taken
into custody on similar charges yes
terday at Cincinnati by department of
justice agents.
Fears no Resort to Force.
II anticipate no resort to force to
prevent registration" Attorney Gem
sral Gregory said in statement to-
day. "If any individual should at
tempt it, he will be promptly dealt
with.
In almost every community there
will be persons who will attempt to
cvade registration. One class will
consist Of weaklings, who lack the
physical and moral courage necessary
TO face the possibility of a fight, and
another Of those under the influence
Of men and women beyond the con-
scription age, who are endeavoring to
dissuade young men from registering.
Some Of the people exerting this
influence are wholly disloyal; others
are lacking in patriotism or an appre-
citation of the needs/of their country
and are animated by fear Of the
possible loss of members Of their
families.
Men Brave and Loyal.
"The young men of the country
who come within the provisions of
the CONSUMPTION act are brave and
inherently loyal. They are ready and
willing in nearly every instance, to
answer to the nations call and do
their part in protecting it from a
foreign foe.
"The registration law puts into ef-
feet policy new TO the present gen
Grafton. 1t is to be expected that
some individuals subject to the law
will attempt to evadc it. To him
who does not grasp the magnitude Of
the registration proposed, the mum.
Der who, June 5, appear to have failed
to have register may seem large. The
failure of one man in. one hundred
to do SO, would make considerable
total. II the early returns show that
the number registered does not equal
the preliminary estimates, it will not
indicate that the law has not been
generally obeyed.'
To Punish Invader.
"Those who attempt TO evade will
be promptly punished and compelled
to perform the service required by
t.. law. 1t is the duty OF this depart
ment 10 prosecute these eyaders and
it is prepared to do so."

-FOUR FEET Of ORE

This afternoon Secretary C. c.
Boak, of the Manhattan Con. Mining
company, issued a statement to the
effect that the drills had entered
the ledge and that at present there
was four feet of ore in the face
with the prospect Of getting a full
face with the next round of shots
today. The samples taken last eve
ming from the ledge were badly
mixed with quartz and hanging wall
material, so they could not be taken
as fair indication OF values.
"The quartz and the hanging wall
are considerably iumbled up said
Mr.. Boak, since we are not in the
real solid formation but, / win say,
that we have four feet of as good
looking rock as any man could wish
to see and in all probability we will
have a nice run Of samples with
today's shooting"

Nevada's total subscription to the
Liberty Loan was $S,497,550, OF
which SS.397550 passed through the
hands of the Liberty Loan committee
and the other 100000 was maze
direct through the San Francisco

Nevadas proportion or quota OF
the Liberty Loan was officially set
at $1,S50, 900, according to a letter
received Saturday by H. A. Lennon.
This cuts off $325,000 from the goal
towards which Nevada was working
and brings the states oversubscrlp-
ton to nearly 80 per cent.
Figuring on population of $4,000
this gives per capita purchase
of $3.50 in Reno. Figuring on a

COPENHAGEN, June 19-Through-
out Germany all the valuable grain
crops are reported burning up as
they did in 1915 in an unprecedented
hot wave A prolonged drought has
not been broken since early in May.
Last Sunday was the hottest June
18th in Berlin in 70 years. The eff
feet on crops around Berlin is dis
astrous.
Tropical temperatures are reported
also everywhere west of the Oder
river. Many horses were scratched
on the opening day of the Hamburg
derby week, because the track, built
on marshy moor, was baked toe
hard for safety.
The Sunday sermon writer of the
Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, who recently
has been blending religion and pol
itics, declared the drought is sent
as a punishment for the sins of the
people for listening to the editors
of irreligious newspapers.
