Because resolutions are dangerous

from bringing in definite reports in

Charles Graft Of Bancroft. chairman

sible away from definite resolutions
and would merely report conditions
as they found them on the various
subjects of food supply assigned to
them. ...
Conflicting interests were manifest
from the first and it was thought best
to report conditions, discuss them,
and go away without trying to formu-
late too many policies. There are so
many committees that it was feared
the policies outlined by the various
reports might conflict and reconhict
until the net result OF conference
would be the defeat of its own pur-

Registration for CONSUMPTION has
begun.
Election Commissioner Moorhead
announced Thursday morning that
several absentees and sick persons
eligible to the draft have sent in their
registrations.
He expects large numbers OF regis
trations from this class OF eligiblcs in
the next few days.
Registration cards OF persons
temporarily out OF town and those
confined in their homes by illness are
required by law to be sent in to their
respective precincts by June 5.
Copies Of registration regulations
prescribed by the act Of congress, ap-
proved May IS, were received by the
election commissioner today. They
cover many points not heretofore
clear TO Omaha registration officials.
All males who shall have attained
their twenty-frst birthday and shall
not have attained their thirty-hrst
birthday on or before the day set for
registration are required to enroll.
The only exceptions are persons in
the military or naval service Of the
United States, which includes all Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army, the navy, the marine corps, the
National Guard and the naval militia,
while in the service Of the United
States, and officers in the officers re-
serve corps and men in the enlisted
reserve corps while in active service.
All male civil officers OF the United
States, of the several states, territor-
les and the District of Columbia
within the designated ages must reg
lister. Registration officers must also

10000. The total is l,07l,000.
Substitution has been carried out
most extensively, in relation to the
numbers employed, in government
controlled establishments, the civil
service, banking and finance and
transport.
The importance of women in the
affairs of the Church of England has
been emphasized by the results OF
the annual spring elections to church
vestries. More than three times as
many women have been appointed
wardens as ever before, due OF course
to the exodus from the villages OF
men on national service.

OMAHA IS FAVORED
FOR TRAINING CAMP
Real Estate Board Learns Pros.
poets for Mobilization Cen.
ter for Gate City Are
Favorable.

Omaha's prospects are more favor
able for being designated as one OF
the army mobilization and training
camp centers.
The Real Estate exchange has been
busy with Washington, whence infor-
nation comes that it will not be amiss
for Omaha to make known what it
has to offer as a prospective camp.
Frank H. Myers, F. D. Wead, John
F. Flack, J. H. Dumont, H. A. Turkey
and G. G. Wallace of the real estate
board constitute special committee
which met Thursday to formulate
plans for presenting Omaha's case
The government requires from 1000
to 5000 acres, not necessarily in one
tract, but sufficiently contiguous to
permit establishing cantonments and
drill grounds. Ground will be required
ioi temporary tents and space for tar
get and artillery practice. The pro-
posed camp will have $4,000 men and
$4,000 animals. Accommodations re-
CURED by the government must be
ready in the near future.
Information received indicates that
Fort Crook and Fort Omaha would
be used for other purposes in the
event that large Capitalization camp
should be located here.
Real estate men who have this
matter in charge are heartened in
the belief that one of the great mill
tary camps will be established here,
inasmuch as every favorable argu-
ment can be offered in Omaha's be-
half. Supplies OF food for men and
animals are at hand and many rail-
roads converging here strengthens
the claim of this city.
