the men beneath the battle flags.
1t must be so with us. It is not
an army that we must shape and
train for war; it is nation. To
this end our people must draw close
in one common front against a COM
mon foe. But this cannot be if
each man pursues a private purpose.
All must pursue one purpose. The
nation needs all men; but it needs
each man, not in the field that will
most pleasure him, but in the en-
deavor that will best serve the COM
mon good. Thus, though a. sharp
shooter pleases to operate a trip
hammer for the forging of great
guns, and an expert machinist de-
sires to march with the flag, the ma
ton is being served only when the
sharp shooter marched and the ma.
chinist remains at his levers.
The whole nation must be a. team
in which each man shall play the
part for which he is best fitted. TO
this end congress has provided that
the nation shall be organized for war
by selection and that each man shall
be classified for service in the place
to which it shall best serve the gen.
eral good to call him. The signifi-
canoe of this cannot be overestimated
1t is a new thing in our history and
landmark in our progress. It is a
new manner of adopting and vitaliz-
ing our duty to give ourselves with
thoughtful devotion to the common
purpose of us ALL It is in no sense
CONSUMPTION of the unwilling; it is
rather selection from a nation which
mas volunteered in mass. It is no
more a choosing of those who shall
march with the colors than it is a
selection Of those who shall serve an
equally necessary and devoted pur-
pose in the industries that lie be-
| mind the battle line.
The day here named is the time
upon which all shall present them
selves for assignment to their tasks.
1t is for that reason destined to be
remembered as one of the most con-
5picuous moments in our history. 1t
is nothing less than the day upon
which the manhood of the country
hall step forward in one solid rank
in defense of the ideals to which
this nation is consecrated. It is i'm
portant to those ideals no less than
to the pride of this generation in
nanifesting it's devotion to them,
that there be no gaps in the ranks.
1t is essential that the day be ap-
preached in Thoughtful apprehension
IF it's significance and that we &C.
cord to it the honor and the mean
| Ing that it deserves. Our industrial
iced prescribes that it be not made
a technical~ holiday, but the stern
acrifice that is before US urges that
it be carried in all our hearts as a
great day of patriotic devotion and
obligation when the duty shall lie
Upon every man, whether he is him.
'elf to be registered or not, to see
to it that the name of every male
person of the designated ages is
written on these lists of honor.
In witness whereof I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this 18th day of May in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
