Many States Plan
Den,o,,strat;ons On Day
Of Army Registration

( Washington, May TO- Many states
plan to make registration day for the
new army conscription the occasion for
fetes and patriotic demonstrations, ac-
cording to reports reaching the war
department today.
The spirit OF patriotism seems to
have entered into the arrangements for
the occasion which have been made by
many Of the state officials says war
department statement issued today.
''In one state, for instance, the oc-
casion in large part Is to take on the
nature Of a patriotic demonstration, a
sort Of national flag day. In many
parts Of the state there will be barbe-
cues and like affairs to draw the peo-
pie, SO that those upon whom the duty
Of registration devolves will know that
they have the support Of their fellows
Of all occupations, and of all the ages.
"A report from another state is to
the effect that 1t hopes to clear up It's
registration duties in such short or
der that 1t may lay claim to being first
in race prompted by patriotic duty.
The men who must register in accord
ance with the requirements Of the law
will find registration easy.
"The questions which are to be an
swered involve comparatively few sub
jects: The name In full, the age in
years, the home address, the date OF
birth, the quality of citizenship, natur-
al born, naturalized, or the condition
of declaration of intention; the place
OF birth. trade, occupation OF office:
employment, and By whom employed;
dependents. if any; married or singleI
race; former military service and
where it was rendered. and lastly.
cit,in1s ce exemption from draft, with
the specific grounds therefor.
Several of the states have relieved
the government entirely of expense
connected with, the work Of securing
complete registration; in fact, helpful-
ness seems to be common to the coun-
try"

Agricultural Outlook Uniformly Dis.
ason Backward.

London, May 1o.-Reports Of the ag-
ricultural outlook in Great Britain are
almost uniformly discouraStnx. Not
even the oldest farmer recalls moro
trying time than that which he has
lust passed thru. A late sowing. wet
autumn, a cold winter. has been fol-
lowed by a late spring. The state OF
tho fields is called serious" altho 1t Is
still possible that period OF warm
weather might change the situation
considerably by the end Of May.
The history OF many OF the best Of
the British crops this year Is story
of sowing in November and resowinE in
April. In many cases the autumn SOW
ing was destroyed completely The
wheat area can not be large this year.
Oats can not be estimated and barley
for some reason Is in disfavor. In the
middle of April farmers were awaiting
a favorable time to continue planting
potatoes

SWEDEN MAY MAKE TROUBLE.
May Join Central Powers If Amerie,
Holds Up Supplies Needed.


Washington. May 1O.-Sweden is
likely to Join the central powers in
the war IL the United States proceeds
to ration tho Scandinavian countries
under the prospective exports embar-
go law, according to hints in diplo-
matte circles today.
The entry Of Sweden into the war
would be hard blow for the allies, as
Russia would be doubly menaced and
might weaken its resolution to make
mo separate peace with Germany.
At Mercy Of Both Sides.
The demand Of the administration
for enabling legislation authorizing the
president to establish an embargo up
on exports to any country at hrs dis
|cretion is regarded by neutral diplo-
mats as demand for power to deal
with neutral countries by bringing to
bear economic pressure.
The concern felt by the neutral
European countries, especially by
Scandinavia and Holland, which are
more completely at the mercy Of both
sets Of belligerent nations than Is
Spain, Is based on the apprehension
that the United States will seek to in
duce them to desert their neutrality.
Peril Comes in Russia.
England A negotiating with Sweden
for permission. to use Swedish terri
torial waters Is a base Of operations
against Germany. but the Swedish
government, an official said today, has
refused to consider any such proposal.
It Is believed here that the Swedish,
IL not all Scandinavian, diplomacy in
Russia Is at work IN the interest Of
separate peace.
