Urges Enlistment

From the bench he recommended
that Thomas Sullivan and Raymond !.
Moore, the petitioners. both OF whom
are eligible for registration, seek out
the first enlistment place without at
tempting to evade the registration law.
Judge Bird, in his decision, referred
to the selectve draft army law as tho
most equitable and efficient" this
country ever had. He also ruled that.
in time Of war state, county and city
officials could be used by Congress TO
further any war measures.
The petition had sought to invoke
the 18th and 14th amendments OF the
Federal Constitution and also certain
provisions of the Missouri Constitu-
ton. Judge Bird ruled against all the
points brought up.
Jacob Harzfeld, attorney for Mayor
Edwards, in his argument against the
injunction warned all persons subject
to the registration not to fail TO en-
roll next Tuesday.
There will be no lack OF material with
which to build jails for those who refuse
to observe this law and there will be ON
Gals to enforce It," he said. There

ton of a few led many to believe the
draft was not constitutional and the re-
suit was the shedding of the blood OF
thousands of persons.
There is no question Of the validity ~

has been answered by decisions Of the SUI
preme court" He added that points rails

Former Senator
Works Telegram

Former Senator Works, in his
telegram, said in fart:
u am conscientiously opposed to
the war and in favor of bringing it
to a speedy close by any and every
legitimate way consistent with the
homer of our country. We dishon-
ored ourselves by declaring war
without adequate or reasonable
cause. We should do the country
the honor of correcting that fatal
mistake as soon as possible. The
people Of this country do not want
war. IF the issue had been left to
them we would be at peace now.
Having been brought into this war
against their will, they should stand
firmly for peace and use every prop
err means to bring it about. Ali
ance with foreign nations should not
be tolerated. Our hands should be
kept entirely free to negotiate peace
az any time"
