Let us not think that when we
have filed up our quota of troops we
have done our part. We must then
bend our efforts to produce the sup
plies of food and munitions that are
needed.
Before I went to Washington I
had been under the impression that
our part would be limited first to
finances, second to sending food sup
plies and munitions, third, to such aid
as our navy could give. have
changed my mind. The United States
is going to send an army to the
French battlefront and that in a
short time. Several thousand men,
bers of the hospital corps already are
at the front.
"Most of our people thought the
war would be over before this" he
continued. "but the end is not yet in
sight. The United States will have
to play tremendous part and we
have all got to do more for our coun-
try than ever before. We are too
used to thinking Of victory-we ought
to stop and stare the possibility Of de-
feat in the face for a while.
Scores Congress For Delay.
Congress is dilatory." he added
emphatically. ut is doing lots of
talking and spending much valuable
time on things that do not amount
to much. Meantime the plans of the
departments are being worked out
and are waiting for congress to
furnish the money to put them into
effect.
"Such a state Of affairs cannot be
allowed to exist. Unless there is a
change there will be an uprising on
the part of. the people that will let
congress know what they think about
1t. Congressman have a right to ex-
press their views, but they have no
right to impede a measure in final
vote where 1t is clearly manifest that
1t is needed"
Throughout his talk, throughout
his speeches at Spokane and Tacoma
shortly after his return and again at
Chehalis Thursday night, Governor
Lister laid stress upon the duty of
the individual citizen in the crisis.

ARRANGE PLANS FOR
REGISTRATION DAY
HART HAS CHARGE FOR STATE
SPECIAL BOARD IN EACH
COUNTY.

Registration of those subject to
selective conscription in this state
will be under the supervision Of
Lieut.-Gov. Hart, by direction of Gov
ernor Lister. and in this county 1t
will be supervised by board con-
sisting of Sheriff Jack Clifford. County
Auditor Annie CASTOR and DIR. X. L.
Partlow, county physician. volun-
teers are being called for to handle
the registration in the precincts OF
the city and county. These details
will be announced later.
Residents of the city and county
are responding numerously to the
call for volunteers to act as regis
trars, the county board says, and
officers have already been assigned
to most of the 80 precincts in the city
and county. Both the Olympia Ma
tional and the Capital National banks
have rendered the services of their
employees in the work of registration.
The Olympia National bank also Of
fered the use of it's banking room as
registration place for one of the
downtown precincts. and this offer
has been accepted.
Supplies of registration cards, GER
tificates and bulletins are being made
up for each precinct and will be dis
trilNted to the appointed officials be-
fore the middle of next week. In
cidentally, the county board is sug-
gesting to the women of the different
precincts to see to it that the regis
tration officer is properly fed-he
has to be on the job from o'clock in
the morning until 9 o'clock at night.

TO CAMPAIGN HERE
FOR liberty LOAN
OLYMPIA'S SHARE OF BIG BOND
ISSUE rs 5000, O,OOO-WANT
ALL TO INVEST.
Two hundred thousand dollars!

Two hundred thousand dollars!
That is Olympia's share in the
Liberty Loan issue now being floated.
estimated on the basis that there are
a hundred million people in the
United States and that the two
billion-dollar issue now offered
means an investment of $40 per
capita for each one of the hundred
million. Olympia's population, rough
ly, is 10,OO0-her share of the issue
is therefore 100000. Adding the
surrounding districts of the county,
the s'total reaches approximately
$3.50. 900 on a per capita basis.
Subscriptions to the issue close
June Is. Individual subscriptions
to date. exclusive Of the amounts the
two local banks will take for their
own account. approximate $65.000
to $4,000. or less than half of the
city's share of the issue. Plans for
a city-wide campaign, to impress
upon each resident Of the city his in
dividual duty to subscribe for at
least one of the bonds, are being
made.
Similar Campaigns Everywhere.
Such campaigns have been in
progress in Seattle and Tacoma for
the past week, the neighboripg city
of Chehalis a couple of days ago
took steps to wage a campaign
among its residents. and cities and
counties generally all over the ma
ton are adopting one plan or another
to increase the number of individual
subscriptions to the issue.
President P. M. Troy of the Cham
ber of Commerce has under consid-
Grafton plan to call upon all the
organizations Of the city. the church.
es, the fraternal societies, the various
clubs and other organizations, the
labor unions, the business men and
manufacturers generally, to appoint
representatives to a general commit
tee which will direct the local cam
paign to raise Olympia's share in the
Liberty Loan issue.
The object of the general commit
tee will be to carry the importance
of subscribing to the bond issue home
to each individual in the city, so that
each resident will appreciate the i'm
portance Of subscribing to the issue,
and to cooperate with various or
ganizations throughout the county so
that those farmers who feel they can
subscribe. in addition to doing their
part in the general agricultural cam
paign, will have an opportunity to
do so.
Look to City Chiefly.
The principal effort. however, will
be expended in the city, as it is real
ized that the farmers generally have
responded in large measure to the
food production campaign and so are
"doing their bit" for their country
and that it is up to their city broth
Iers and sisters to take the biggest
share Of the Liberty Loan.
In connection with the local cam
paign. it is likely that some speaker
of prominence will be invited to ad-
dress a mass meeting, to explain the
general situation to the residents of
the city. Details of the plan will be
worked out within the next few days.
as only three weeks remain before
subscriptions close.

ARMY STAFF GIVES
REGISTRATION RULES
CLAIMS FOR EXEMPTIONS DIS.
CUSSED IN OFFICIAL CIR
CULAR.

Official bulletins issued by the
army general staff on "How to An
|swer Questions on Registration
Cards" will be distributed through
out the 80 precincts of the city and
county by Sheriff Jack clifford, who
is in charge of the registration in
this county in connection with Coun-
ty Auditor Annie CASTOR and County
Physician X. L. Partlow. The sup
piles for the registration officials are
now being made up.
Two of the questions asked on the
card concerning claims for exemp-
tion are discussed by the army gen.
eral staff as follows:
"No. 8. Have you a father. moth
er, wife, child under IL, or a sister
or brother under IL solely dependent
upon you for support?
Consider your answer thought
fully. If it is true that there is an
other mouth than your own which
you alone have duty to- feed, do not
let your military ardor interfere with
the wish OF the nation to reduce wars
misery to e minimum.
Don't Hide Behind Petticoats.
ION the other hand, unless the
person you have in mind is solely de-
pendent on you, do not hide behind
Ipetticoats and children.
"No. 12. Do you claim exemption
from draft? Specify grounds.
Because you claim exemption
from draft, 1t by no means follows
that you are exempt. For the infor-
nation of the war department, you
should make a claim now II you in
tend to prosecute It.
Some persons will be exempted
on account Of their occupations or
offices, some on account of the fact
that they have relatives dependent
upon them for support. Your answer
touching these things will be impor-
tant in supporting the claim you now
intend to make in your answer to
the present questions.
Grounds of Exemption.
"In stating grounds you claim as
exempting you, use one of the fol-
lowing terms:
'If you claim to be an executive,
legislative or judicial officer of the
state or nation, name your office and
say whether 1t is an Office of the state
or nation.
'If you claim to be a member of a
religious sect whose creed forbids it's
members to participate in war in any
form. simply name the sect.
'If you are employed in the trans
mission of the United States mails or
as an artificer or workman in an
armory. arsenal or navy yard of the
United States, or if you are a mariner
employed in the sea service of any
citizen or merchant within the United
States, so state.
"If you are felon or otherwise
morally deficient and desire to claim
exemption on that ground, state your
ground briefly.
"If you claim physical disability,
state that briefly.
"If you claim exemption on any
other ground, state your ground
briefly"
The registrar will pass only upon
obvious physical defects. such as lost
larms or legs. Others claiming ex-

The company's plant now covers Z

the next few days.

to comment on the report. II 10 nm

employed, and all the iron work on
the vessels built here and at two
associated plants. one at Seattle and
one at Anacortes, will be done here,
President Sloan says.

start on the two new slips" Presi-
dent Sloan said. II probably will
decide Saturday. may have to put

from New York.
This is big undertaking and I
want to whip the organization into
shape. March /, less than three
months ago, there wasn't anything
here. Look at it now--it's the finest
wooden shipbuilding plant in the
world"
Eleven vessels of an approximate
value of three and half million
dollars will be under construction at
one time in Olympia's two shipyards
when the announced extension Of the
Sloan plant is completed. All will
be completed and fully equipped
here.
In addition negotiations are pend
ing with several other concerns and
it is confidently stated by local busi-
nessgmen in touch with the situation
that Olympia is assured of at least
one more yard, with a capacity Of
from four to six vessels on the ways
at one time.

Herbert c. Hoover, recently APP

sued his first statement TO the Ameri-
can people. Mr.. Hoover has begun his
gigantic task Of circumyenting the
scheming hoarder in a determined
manner and he says in part:
The food administration Is called
into being to stabilize and not to dis.
turb conditions. and to defend honest
enterprise against illegitimate compe-

II do not believe that drastic force
need be applied TO maintain economic
distribution and sane use OF supplies
by the great majority OF American
people, and have learned deep and
abiding faith in the intelligence of the
average American business man,
whose aid we anticipate and depend
on to remedy the evils developed by
the war, which he admits and deplOres
as deeply as ourselves. But il there
be those who expect TO exploit this
hour of sacrifice; If there are men or
organizations scheming TO increase
the trials of this country, we shall
not hesitate to apply to the full the
drastic coerclve powers that congress
has conferred upon us in this instru
ment"
Here is his appeal to individual
patriotism:
This war is a struggle to assure
the dominance of democracy. Every
flag that flies against the Contra
Powers is by proxy the American flag
Every man in the ranks Of the allies
