SEVEN POINTS IN NATIONAL
ARMY REGISTRATION HERE

claims are for exemption. Imprisou-
ment is the penalty and no excuses are
possible.
In its campaign to stimulate interest
i'll registration June 5, for the war

memorandum emphasizing the seven
cardinal points to be remembered, par
ticularly by men between the ages of

follows:
l. There is only one day to register,
June 8, 1917.
2. Every male resident of the Unit
ed States who has reached his twenty
first and has not reached his thirty
first birthday must register on the day
set, June 5, 1917. The only exceptions
are persons in the military or naval

serves, the officers reserve corps, the
enlisted reserve corps, the national
guard and national guard reserves, rec

war department; the navy, the marine
corps, the coast guard and the naval
militia, the naval reserve force, the
M ri hn nl
volunteers, recognized by the navy de-
partment.
8. Registration is distinct from Sc
lection. No matter what just claim
you have for exemption, you must reg

those not responsive to the sense o
duty the penalty of Imprisonment, not
fine, is provided in the act.
5. SICK PERSONS-Those who

poets to be absent from his voting pre-.
cinct on registration day should apply
as soon as possible for a registration
card to the county clerk Of the county
where he may be stopping. The clerk
will record the answers on the card and
turn it over to the absentee. The alb
sentee should mail this card to the reg

will reach that official by registration
day. "A self-addrassed, stamped EN-
velope should be enclosed with the card
to insure the return to the absentee of
a registration certificate.

Every MAN OWES HIS COUNTRY SERVICE IN
TIME OF NEED, SAYS COCKTAILS

war college instructor ana MEMBER
board of tortifications.)
(IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MARY
BOYLE O'REILLY.)
Every American citizen who is
physically and mentally fit and with
out dependents to support shall, on
reaching the age of 10, train for six
months in a military camp or at
naval BASE"
That, briefly, is the new citizen
army act to come before congress.
1t is distinctly American plan,
sound, straight, thoroughly practi-
cal, worked out by Americans for
Americans to meet American COndi-
lions.
It is so fair no American who loves
his country can state a reasonable
objection The richest country on
earth cannot live in an armed world
without an army reserve.
Every man owes to his country
the duty Of service in time Of need.
It is only fair that the country should
so train each man that in an emer-
gency he may serve efficiently and
with the greatest economy OF life. To
take men raw from the street and
rush them into battle is murder
In a republic military training must
be universal. Equality is the very
breath of democracy. Universal
training is the only just and demo-
cratic way.
The voluntary system is the most
unjust of all. It takes the best and
threatens the survival of the unfit
test.
Whatever steps are taken to train
citizens for self-defense must apply
to ALTO rich and poor, learned and
ignorant, country boy and town lad.
Under the citizen army reserve
every man will be trained near his
home, among his personal acquain-
tances. Every man may choose in
which branch Of fha service he wish

he prefers to train.
Country boys can train in winter,
city youth go into the camp in the
summer. Recruits will be 10 years
old; that is the right age, and six
months the minimum Of effective
training.
A man of 10 is developed physi-
cally-if he is ever likely to be. A
man of 10 is rarely developed eco
nOmically, and he is usually unmar-
ried. No training will be required Of
any man on whose earnings wife or
child, parents, brothers or sisters are
wholly dependent TO support. The
young husband with a wife and child
will be exempt.
As a people we Americans need
discipline. We have become more
accustomed to enjoyment Of privi-
leges than to the fulfllment of duties
under the general government
Universal military training will
raise the moral and physical tone Of
the nation, develop the individual,
create a sense of duty and response
bility, instiI respect for lawful au-
thOTity and give birth to feeling Of
natiOnaIism.
All over the United States boys get
pretty well out of hand when they
are II. Even six months training
will teach them habits of health, hy-
giene, sanitation and discipline of in
calcuIable value in their future lives.
Each year out of our 112,OOO,000
people, 100000 men of 10 years will

CHEERING JosEPHUs.
What's this?

What's this?
The Chicago Tribune proposing
three cheers for Josephus Daniels?
True it is somewhat of back
handed compliment. but here it is:
I'VE will now arise and give
three rousing cheers for the
United States navy and a tiger
for Josephus Daniels, titular
head of the navy. The name Of
the assistant secretary of the
navy is Franklin d. Roosevelt.
History repeats itself frequently.
The cheers are fully deserved.
When it comes to real prepared
ness for war the navy Is miles
and months ahead Of any and all
other departments"
The Chicago Tribune has been
conducting a genteel muckrake of the
United States government, posing as
the Lord Northcliffe of the United
States. Henry M. Hyde has been the
chief investigator and was re-
sponsible for the foregoing. After
projecting his little verbal dart
Danielswards, Mr.. Hyde proceeds to
tell an amazing story of accomplish
ment. 1t shows that more than 500
ordnance contracts have been let.
Weekly reports on progress are re-
quired, and only one of the 500 con-
tracts is not ahead of schedule. The
navy has 1877 vessels of all types, UNI
der construction. The contracts all
call for high speed construction, and
on all of them satisfactory progress
is being made. The personnel has
been increased from $4,000 to more
than 145,000.
The secret Of it was that the navy
got the jump on the other depart
ments Of the government, and long
before war was declared had can
vassed ali the machine shops and
other factories that might be useful,
and had it's plans laid in advance.
Mr.. Hyde admits that this handicap
ped the other departments, inasmuch
as the navy department had first call
on the available factories.
Only few short months ago, the
navy was "only a collection of anti
quated tubs" that would simply
provide targets for modern ships. It
was pictured as consisting chiefly of
leaky gunboats, half manned, and
without guns or ammunition. AM
orleans were led to believe 1t might
be fair match for the Mexican navy
If it had a competent secretary to
handle it.
Now 1t is encouraging to hear of
the remarkable transformation that
has taken place. Mr.. Daniels has
been pilloried more than any man
in the public eye since the President
assumed office. The Forum has no
way Of knowing whether he is the
marvel of inefficiency he is pictured,
or whether he is responsible in part
at least for the first class fighting
machine that has been built up, but
it does know he antagonized the bit
terest and most implacable foe in
American politics, when ne barred
liquor from the navy, and it has felt
inclined to question even criticisms
that might be just. Whether Mr.,
Daniels is responsible or not. is COM
paratiyely unimportant, but it is re-
freshing to read such eulogy of the
navy coming from a bitter critic OF
the navy's head

THE AIM or THE PALESTINE
DRIVE.

Talk to a Syrian If you want to
get at least one significant feature
of the British offensive movement in
Palestine.
Fargo has little colony of syrians
loyal to the Allied cause, every one
of them despite EngIand's interfer-
ence in Arabia's war of independ-
ence. The syrians racially are broth
ers to the Arabs, and the province OF
Syria adjoins the province OF Arabia.
Both have been under the rule Of
Turkey, but never willing subjects.
The Arab is a first class fighting
man. and about as easily tanned as
one Of his famous horses. The
Arabians have been in constant re-
volt against Turkey, and never have
acknowledged the dominance OF
Constantinople. Within the last
year Arabia has set up an independ-
ent kingdom, and the Arabian army
Is now operating in conjunction with
the British. 1t is moving northward,
and already has seized the railroad
running from Damascus to Jeru-
salem. 1t has halted in its advance.
waiting for the British TO catch up.
They are coming north along the
coast, while further east in Mesopo.
tamia, another British force is ad-
vancing north and west and has
reached Tekrit. These three armies
are all moving on converging lines,
and between the first two Of them the
Turkish army may be caught and
annihilated unless it quickly evac-
yates Jerusalem.
Aside from the crushing of the
Turkish army, the immediate OBJ
jective of this movement is the cap
ture Of Damascus Damascus is a
city Of nearly 100000 people, and the
commercial capital of that entire
region. With 1t in the hands of the
Arabians, their war aims will be
achieved. for they will be assured of
kingdom embracing all of Arabia,
and Syria. 1t will be an independent
kingdom under British protectorate.
The political significance Of this
will be far reaching. Mecca is the
sacred city Of the Mohammedans. It
is now in the hands Of the new
Arabian kingdom. Formerly it was
under control Of Turkey. Turkey as
the custodian Of the sacred city, had
a prestige in the entire Mohammedan
world that has been stripped from
her by the new kingdom. There IS
no longer possibility Of "a holy war
Of the Mohammedans against the
Christians. The new Mohammedan
tcustodians of Mecca are lighting side
by side with the British, and with
Mecca secured to them. are aiding
actively in the effort to wrest the
Christians Holy City from the
Turks.
There is no more interesting chap
ter in the war. than this situation in
Asia Minor. The victory OF British
diplomacy has been scarcely less i'm
portant than the victories Of the
British arms. 1t has swept away an
old time grievance. and the pictur-
esque. freedom loving Arab Is a blood

KNIFE.

we hacked the first increment
of our armies out with q broad
axe because there was no time
Tor greater refinement We must
pare the future increments away
with greater discrimination"
That Il the way Provost Marshal
General Crowder sums up the differ
ence between the first selective plan,
ana the new plan.
The selective feature Of the draft
has not been abandoned; 1t merely
has been carried to its logical con-
cluslon. ..... .
For the nrst increment, it was
necessary to select $4,000 men from
1o,O00, 900 within ten weeks time.
Ths governments aim was to take
the men who would be Of greatest
service and who best could be spared
from the nations industries. They
were hacked out with a broadaxe".
But the government now is paus-
Ing to make a more careful and
deliberate selection. With the aid Of
the missionaries now being sent
out. every registered man will be
classified In one Of five classes. In
the first class will be single men and
those married men whose removal
viii not disturb the adequate sup
port Of their dependents. They will
be men not especially fitted for in
duatrial or agricultural pursuits.
IN Class two will be men who can
be taken without disturbing the sup
port OF dependents, and men who,
While they may be skilled in indus
try or agriculture, do not occupy
what might be called pivotal posi-
tions.
In Class three, the lines are less
closely drawn, and the fields of in
dustry and agriculture are invaded.
Glass four includes those who will
be taken as q last resort, and Glass
i've, those who are exempt abso-
Iately. Before Glass four is drawn
llpon, the age limits undoubtedly will
Be- changed and from 100000 to
1000, 900 men will be added from
those who are IS. 10 and 20 years
old. or who have reached the age Of
"a since the draft law was passed.
Class one will be called first, and
IL not all of the class is needed, they
win be called In the order in which
their numbers were drawn for the
nrst draft.
The new regulations are vastly
superior to the old. Every man will
knew his status as soon as he is
CLASSIFIED, and the principle of selec-
ton is worked out to its stage OF
ereatest perfection. 1t IL the knife"
instead OF She ''broadaxe".
Think Of the loneliness Of the Ger
man soldiers holding" the Russian
front. It must be hard even to get
together enough for a game OF
pinochle to while away the weary
hours.
