READY TO REGISTER
TEN MILLION MEN
Huge Task of Ascertaining Men
of Consumption Age in Single
Day Will Be Done
Smoothly.

Washington, May 2l.-Prepara-
tions to register 100000 young men
for military service on June 5 are
proceeding swiftly throughout the
country. Advices reaching the War
department show that forty-two states
have their machinery already organ
lied, ready to proceed with the work.
The reports mean that the central
boards have been established in
county and city for each $4,000 popu-
lation, that blanks and forms have
been distributed and that nation wide
machinery stands ready to take the
military census in the shortest time
ever allowed for such huge under
taking-one fourteen-hour day.
General Crowder's Plan.
The plan was evolved by Brigadier
General Crowder, provost marshal
general as well as Judge advocate gen.
eral of the army, and its efficiency
rests upon its simplicity. The scheme
is to coordinate the vast electoral
machinery Of every state under one
central authority. At one step all To-
cal conditions are met in this way. No
matter what popularity Of election
system any state may have, it will
function perfectly in the national
registration scheme, and function
without readjustment. Supervised de-
Capitalization is what was aimed at
and that has been accomplished ac-
cording to the reports that came pour
ing in today. All doubts as to the
wisdom OF turning this task over to
the states was dispelled by the nature
of the governors messages.

Copenhagen Via London), May 81
The discussions in Vienna between
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the i'm
perial German chancellor and Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister, which were resumed
last week at German headquarters and
in which Count Czernin, the king Of
Bavaria, Emperor William, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, DR.. Alfred Zim-
mermann, the German foreign min
lister and DR.. Karl Helfferich, the Ger.
man vice chancellor, are taking part,
have to do. among other things, with
the future of the kingdom of Poland,
according to information received
from the German representatives in
Warsaw to the Polish council of state.
Boundaries Are Unsettled.
1t will be remembered that the Aus
tro-German rescript of November S,
calling the kingdom of Poland into life,
lett the boundaries OF the kingdom
unsettled and did not name the future
regent or king. The Polish council OF
state some time ago made representa-
tons to the Austro- German represent
atives as to the necessity of immediate
action on these two questions.
General Won Beseler, governor gen.
eral of the occupied territory in Rus
STA, has informed the council that
the Austro-German authorities in COIL
sultation at grand headquarters in
Germany are concerning themselves
with "the further carrying out of the
rescript of November s."
The Austrian Poles have put forth
a wide reaching program for the fu-
ture which will not fail to arouse the
strongest protests in Prussia.
The Polish club of the Austrian
Parliament, which embraces the Pol
ish members of the Reichsrat, not
Only has passed a resolution of lack
of confidence in the present Austrian
government which disregarded Pol
ish wishes regarding the future of
Galicia and Polish representations in
Parliament, but also a demand put
forward as the united desire of the
Polish nation for the establishment
of an independent united Poland with
access to the sea. -

WEEK OF Conventions
keeps AsHEV|LLE BUSY
Three Organizations, With Various
2l5 Subsidiary Bodies, Hold An
nual Meetings.
PUBLISHERS ARE IN ssIoN
Good Roads People and Insurance
Agents Also Get Together at North
Cardinals Famous Resort In the
Land OF the Sky.

ASBEyILLE " c.. July l4.-Three
nrinc,nal conventions with various sub
sidiary organizations meeting Al tue
same time, have Kept AsSeNii.e res
sopably busy dur.ng the week just
ended The largest and most import
ant of the conventions was that or tho
Southern Publishers Convention. when
met at Grove PARK Inn The puollsh-
ers were so impressed with the inn last
wear that they decided TO make ashe-
willie their permanent meeting place.
and a large percentage Of the lco mem
hers was present this year. The other
two main conventions were those OF the
North Carolina Good Roads Association
and the North Carolina Association Oh
Insurance Agents, and both conventions
had subsidiary associations meeting at
the same time.
AS a result OF entertaining these
visitors, the city has been unusually
gay socially the past week, there being
a large dance somewhere in the city
practically every night of the week.
The publishers were given an informai
dance at Grove Park Inn, and the big
dinner dance at the inn tonight ended
the dancing for the week. Guests at
Grove Park Inn automatically become
members of the Asheville Country CLUB,
and many of the publish ers took advan-
tage of this to spend considerable time
on the links. They also attended the
regular tea dance at the Country Club
this afternoon.
Society girls of Asheville continue to
do their bit" in various ways for some
of the various war organizations. The
Red Cross and the Woman's League for
National Service are the more popular.
but the Navy League and other similar
associations draw their share. The most
popular work at present seems to be
the donning of overalls and attending
a class in motor construction by mum
Der of the younger girls who expect
(perhaps) TO qualify to drive an ambu-
lance. Large numbers of the ladies
gather weekly and sew for the Red
Cross. the funds of which have just
been substantially increased again by
tho receipt of n check of $1,000 from
Mrs. Edith S. Vanderbilt. Plans for
two plays. "Flou-Flou" for the Navy
League and Pirates of Penzancc" for
the Red Cross. are also under way.
The mountains are at their best. and
the cool nights for which Asheville Is
famous, are drawing the crowds by the
I hundreds from further South. All the
hotels declare tina: business is better
this year than at any time in history,
and the city has taken on Its regular
midsummer appearance Of gayety.
