id"nt OF the American Newspaper Pub

the proposed increase in postage.
president Rogers made this statement:
1T is difficult to understand the pol
icy OF the government in placing so
heavy tax on the newspaper bust
ness. which probably has been more
severely affected in the last year
through increased prices than amy
other industry. In time of war. news
papers suffer particularly, owing to
the enormously increased expenses due
TO the gathering of war news and the
increased circulation--for increased
circulation means increased expenses

newspapers and force out of employ
ment many men specially trained for
TINS work. and whose value in other
lines is comparatively small.
The newspapers fully realize the Sc
robustness OF the present situation. and
appreciate that they must bear their
share of burden. but the provisions of
this proposed bill seem more severe on
newspapers than on any other line OF
business. and are to this extent un-
just and indefenSible"

INV Associa,cd Press. !

WASHINGTON, May l0.-Many States
plan TO make registration day for tho
new army conscription the occasion for
fctes and patriotic demonstrations, ac-
cordinE to reports reaching the War
Department to-day.
The spirit OF patriotism seems to
have entered into tho arrangements
for the occasion which have been made
by many Of tho State officials" says a
War Department statement issued to-
day.
I'm one State. for instance, the oc-
casion in large part is to take on the
nature Of a patriotic demonstration. "a
sort OF national fctc day I'm many
parts of the State there will he barbc-
cues and like affairs TO draw the peo-
pie. SO that those upon whom the duty
of registration dcvolves will know that
they have the support OF their fellows
OF all occupations and of all ages
"a report from another State is to the
effect that il hopes to clear ur it's
reg istration duties in such short order
that ii may lay claim for being the
first in a race prompted by patriotic
duty. The mon who must register In
accordance with the requirements OF
the law, will find registration EASY.
The questions which are to be an
swcred involve comparatively few sub
jccts: The name in full: the age in
years: the home address. the date OF
birth: the quality Of citizenship. ma
tural born. naturalizcd or the condition
OF declaration of intention: the place Of
birth. the trade or occupation or office
the employment and by whom en-
p!oycd: dependents. if any. married or
single: race: former military service
and where 1t was rendered. and lastly.
ci'ins OF exemption from draft. with
the specific grounds therefor.
Several OF the States have relieved
the government entirely OF expense
connected with tho work OF securing.
complete registrations: in fact. helpful
ness seems to be common to the conn
try"
