WASHINGTON. June 5.-Secretary

at the trea ,ury department said the

GERMAN SCHEME FOR
RUSSIA'S RUIN Barred
General Dismemberment Was
Planned by Weaning Away
Firms and Little Russians.

COPLNHAGEN, (via London), June
"a program for the general dis
memDerment of Russia was put for
ward at a meeting ut Essen Of the
newly formed Rheinisch- Westphalian
branch of the independence commit
tee for u German. peace, the organiza-
ton Of the Pan-Gcrmans. Blood and
iron was the keynote of the meeting
and the speakers adv ocated far-reach-
ing plans of German territorial ag-
grandiZement.
The principal speaker declared IL
was useless to attempt separate peace
negotiations with the Russian provis-
ional government but suggested that
advantage might be taken of present
conditions in Russia to approach the
Films and Little Russians with peace
proposals. He asserted that Finland
and the Ukraine could easily be de-
tachcd from Russia. The speaker fur
thcr advocated the seizure by Ger
many of Lithuania and Courland and
their colonization by two million Ger
man speaking Russians from the in
terror of the slavic dominions, thus
weakening Russia and establishing a
bulwark of Russian states east of Ger
many and Austro- Hungary Professor
Busch of Marburg university, another
of the speakers, recommended, ac-
cording to the Koelnische Zeitung, the
imposition of war indemnities in the
form of raw materials such as Sweden
eXacted from Prussia after the thirty
years war. Professor Busch also said:
only cranks trust in international
conventions and as for disarmament
treaties, they are not worth the paper
they are written on. Neutrals, rs his
tory shows. have always tried to spoil
the triumph of the victor. President
Wilson plays the same role as Napol-
con III, after the battle of Sandowa.
but Wilson may also meet his Sedan.
May the sword remain unsheathed un-
I'll diplomacy has spoken It's last
word"

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Ten mill
lion young Americans enrolled them
selves today for war service. Regis
tration day with but few weeks of
preparation, saw the first military
census ever taken in the United States
completed without a single untoward
event of consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered in
mass, setting at naught all the
schemes and plottings of German SYM
pathiZers and the few cranks who
have agitated against registration. Ii
remains but to select the men who are
to go to the front.
Full Registration Everywhere.
From every state congratulatory
messages came tonight to Brigadier
General Crowder. provost marshal
general, federal supervising officer OF
the great enterprise. While no COM
plcte returns from any state were
transmitted up to u late hour, the gov
ernors were unanimous in reporting
that complete quiet had prevailed
thruout the day and that full regis
tration was indicated.
The carly reports showing full
turnout all over the country indicated
reau as to the number of men within
the specified age limits would be ver-
fled by the count.

With the closing of each registra-
tion precinct officials went at once
to the task of sorting and classifying
the cards. There is much work to
he done in order that the brief synop-
sis which each governor Will make to
General CrOwder of the registration
office his state may go forward
promptly.
General Crowder is hopeful that IN
other SO hours Will see the full record
Of the country on his desk The state
department was called upon for addl-
tiOnal cards today by the thousands.
System Efficient.
Few clevonth-hour rulings were
found necessary. The system devised
by General Crowder of invoking tho
political machinery Of the nation in
the task worked with "a smoothness
that spoke OF perfect cooperation by
state county and municipal authori-
ties.
Department of justice officials had
anticipated only local or sporadic dis
turbances and had predicted that the
men opposed to registration would not
resort to force anywhere, but they
took every precaution,
Every man in the field had strict
orders to arrest offenders promptly
and hail them before federal commls-
sioners. The success of the plans Of
the work of the men In the field in
the splendid order that prevailed gem
