Registration Aftermath

ID EGISTRATION of Americas young
IN manhood, while it has fallen from
5 to 10 per cent below the census
estimates, has otherwise been gratifying,
especially in the ease of its accomplish
ment Scattered incidents marred the &C.
casion. the aftermath revealed little knots
of slackers, and some severity is still to
be practsed on the recusants, but the
sum of the whole procedure is Success"
Official returns from thirty-three states
at the Provost Marshal Generals office in
Washington show 6,358,3SS persons of
draft age, from which it is estimated that
the entire nation registered 5000, 900 men.
The government estimated that 7,063.00
would be secured from the thrty-three
states in question. Draft quotas are to
be assigned to states in proportion to orig
ina census estimates and not in proper
ton to registration.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
after allowing several days of grace,
ordered the arrest and prosecution OF all
slackers. Already many had been ap-
pretended and trials are under way. The
penalty is a years Imprisonment and en-
forced registration. In Detroit alone 1000
additional registrations were allowed after
the legal day, employers forcing all to show
registration cards or accept non-employ-
ment.
A large percentage of registrants,
over 100000 in all, claimed exemption
from draft because of having dependents.
Another large percentage were aliens.
New York State registered a total we'll
above one million men, New York City
furnishing nearly 100000 of these. The
dearth of young men in the South was
the big surprise, caused in great part by
the exodus Of negroes to the Northern
factories.
In New York 1881 young men
claimed exemption because they had de-
pendents. Some raised a plea of being
vepetarians and therefore opposed to the
taking of life. At Flagstaff, Ariz.,
band of Navajo Indians refused to reg
lister and threatened to go on the war
path. At Butte riots occurred. At Rock
ford, Ill.,, 1856 |. W. W. followers SUBJ
mitted to arrest in body rather than
register. Forty-fve members Of the
Farmers and Laborers' Protective Asso-
citation were arrested in Texas for Sc
diton.
The successful registration was hailed
in France by NJ. Jules Cambon as evidence
at once of the determination Of the United
States to rescue the Allies and Of our
enormous manhood resources. In London
THE Daily Express referred to the out
come as perhaps the most heartening
event that has happened in three years"
Army recruiting received fresh i'm
petus at the outset, but more recently
there has been a marked falling of in
volunteering since registration. The
English government has seized the occa.
sion, however. to press its chance for
rounding up the 100000 British subjects
of military age in this country. General
W. A. White, in charge Of the recruiting
mission, expects $4,000 of these to volun-
teer. leaving the others TO wonder what
new form Of stress will be employed to
conscript them.

he awarded contracts to other firms for
ten additional bulls. The total vessels
recently ordered is 80, 32 Of which are
composite, 18 of which are steel and 80 of
which are wooden. Meanwhile, the wooden
ship advocates quote the electrical engine
manufacturers as saying that there would
have been no difficulty in supplying the
necessary number of engines for the pro-
posed feet of small wooden hulls.

Canada, our neighbor ally, proposes TO
run us a neck and neck race on drafting.
Premier Borden sprang CONSUMPTION sud-
denly upon Canada, and the result is
crisis. He resolutely aims to make good
the Canadian losses, and as no volunteers
are forthcoming and young men scarce ne

fortv-five. French Quebec accepts this
programme for 1000 conscrlpts as aimed

rejected CONSUMPTION by referendum vote.

is exceedingly bitter throughout the prov

Hungary in a political upheaval, Spain
sizzling with cabinet crises and war

General Pershing and the American staff
in imperial audience and welcomed us to
the charmed circle. Elihu Root and the
other members of the American mission
to Petrograd were received with cheers IN
Siberia and on the way to Petrograd.
Of greater political Importance to the
Allies was the passage by the United
States Senate of the espionage bill en-
bodying the embargo feature. This en-
barge provision enables the President to
dispense with the British blockade of Ger
many in large part, thus releasing British
ships for food transportation. For, the
United States being the great source or
surplus food, the President can now whip
neutral nations into line by doing out our
food to them upon good behavior and thus
dispose of so-called neutral rights to our
advantage as a belligerent. Norway is
now reported as being about to enter the
war on the side of the Allies in order to
get food to eat.

The political effect of President Will

Endorsement of her claims for the annexa-

Endorsement of her aspirations in Trent,

pected to have the total effect of harmonic
