OVER TEN MILLION RESPOND
TO PRESIDENT WILSON'S CALL
But Little Trouble Encountered Young Men Between
81 and 80 Years Register Organized Opposition
TO Conscription Conspicuousy Absent.

activities OF the Cooperative Buying
Association recently led to the indict.
ment OF nine men, growing out Of
threats OF armed resistance to con.
scriptions, the registration was car
ried out without hitch.
Cleveland and Detroit reported to the
War Department that registration wa
not completed at 8 o'clock and th'
Governors Of Ohio and Michigan were
authorized to order the polls In each
city to stay open until all were reg
istered.
In Cleveland shortage OF registra
tion cards developed during the day,
and until more could be printed reg,
listers were instructed to take tho
names and addresses Of applicants and
TO canvass them at their homes.
No Hint or Stacking.
Registration day developments were
summarized by the committee on pub
lie information in the following state.
ment:
Nearly 1O,O0O,O 900 Americans Of
military age registered for service in
the army against Germany. The regis.
tration was accomplished in fashion
measuring up to the highest standards
OF Americanism. The young men
came TO the registration places en-
thusiastic; there was no hint Of a
stacking spirit anywhere, except in a
few cases where misguided persons
had been prevailed upon to attempt
to avoid their national obligation. The
Government officials, who had pro-
fessed the highest confidence in the
patriotism of the young men OF the
nation, were deeply gratified at the
result II transcribed their highest
expectations.
conspiraeies Fall.
From every state reports were re-
ceived showing that the sporadic con.
spiracies to thwart the first step to-
ward the mobilization OF as large an
army as the country may need to bring
the war to victorious conclusion had
failed utterly. The Department of
Justice had a tremendous machinery
ready to cope with these conspiracies,
but il proved to be unnecessary. Late
this afternoon the department had not
received report of single arrest,
and the only arrest officially reported
to any governmental body occurred in
Virginia, where one man who de-
nounced the Government and the flag
was promptly taken into custody.
This report came to the office of the
provost marshal, General Crowder.

westinghouse German submarine
is believed to have been sunk by an
armed American steamer in a running
fight lasting an hour and a half, in
which 35 shots were fired by the sub
marine and rs by the steamer. An
official announcement by the State De-
partment says the steamers final shot
apparently struck the submarine,
which raised clear out of the water
and stood stern up for few seconds.
She then disappeared"
The departments announcement
follows:
THE Department of State is adj
vised by telegraph of an engagement
between an armed American steamer
and submarine. The guns of the
steamer were manned by an Ameri-
can naval crew. The submarine was
first seen at about 1000 yards. She
had '6-inch gun forward and another
aft. She flew no flag.
Upon sight of the submarine the
steamer hoisted the American flag
and waited for about 10 minutes. AS
the submarine approached the steamer
fired. The submarine responded. The
steamer kept a speed that would per-
NIT the submarine to come within
range. Then followed a fight lasting
for an hour and half. The sub
marine came to distance of about
2,30O yards. BY that time the sub
marine had fired 35 shots and the
steamer rs. The last shot of the
steamer apparently struck the sub
marine, which raised clear out of the
water and stood stern end up for a
few seconds. Then she disappeared.
The captain of the steamer and the
commander of the guard believe that
the submarine was sunk. The steam
er suffered no damage"
