nation is being served only when the
sharpshoOter marches and the ma
chinist remains at his levers. The
whole nation must be team in which
each man shall play the part for which
he is best fitted. To this end, con-
gress has provided that the nation
shall be organized for war by selection
and that each man shall be classified
for service in the place to which it
shall best serve the general good to
call him.
1.-The significance of this can not be
oVerstated. 1t is new thing in our
history a landmark in our progress
1t is new manner of accepting and
vitalizing our duty to give ourselves
with thoughtful devotion to the COM
mon purpose OF using all. 1t is in no
sense a conscription of the unwilling;
it Is rather, selection from nation
which has volunteered in masse 1t
is no more a choosing Of those who
shall march with the colors than it
is selection of those who shall serve
an equally necessary and devoted
purpose in the industries that lie be-
hind the battle line.
1.-THE day here named is the time
upon which all shall present them
selves for assignment to their tasks.
1t is for that reason destined to be
remembered as one of the most con-
spicuous moments in our history. 1t
is nothing less than the day upon
which the manhood of the country
shall step forward in one solid rank
in defense of the ideals to which this
nation is consecrated. 1t is import
ant to those ideals no less than to the
pride of this generation in manifest
ing its devotion to them. that there
be no gaps in the ranks.
1T is essential that the day be APP
preached in thoughtful apprehension
Of it's significance and that we accord
to 1t the honor and the meaning that
it deserves Our industrial need pre-
scribes that it be not made techni-
cal holiday, but the stern sacrifice that
is before us urges that it hc carried in
all our hearts as Il great day of pa
tr'otic devotion and obligation when
the duty shall lie upon every man,
whether he is himself to be registered
or not, to sec to it that the name of
every male person of the designated
ages is written on these lists of honor.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

WOULD STOP USE
OF FOOD ON STAGE

The Food Administration is asking
the theatrical and moving picture
people of the country to refrain from
using real food in their productions
during the war. The administration
is of the opinion that in me ais on the
stage and in the making of films imI-
tations can be used in most cases and
believes that where this is not possI-
BILE the scenes showing the use Of foou
can be omitted.
The amount of food unprotitabIy
used i'm theatrical performances
throughout the country amounts to a
much larger bulk than is ordinarily
realized. The Food Administration de-
sires to stop not merely the actual
waste of this food material, but 20
prevent the unconscious bad effect on
audiences at this time when every et-
fort is being made to drive home the
need OF the elimination OF every pos 9;
sible food waste as a means OF help
ing to win the war.

WATER Waste
CHARGED TOU. S.
Fluid Run Into Sewers
Which Should Be Re-
used, Is Claim.

Although the Federal and District
government offices waste many thou
sands of gallons of city water yearly.
small start has been made TO con-
serve the city's supply which came
very close to running short this sum-
mer, by using waste water from
fountains for swimming pools which
are being built at the CORDOBA School,
and in the Piney Branch Valley not
far from the Sixteenth street bridge.
According to Commissioner Brown
low the water used in the Municipal
Bathing Beach is, to a certain extent.
the waste water from the White
House fountains. Part of the water
used in changing the supply at the
municial pools. however, is taken
from the mains as the overflow from
the White House fountains would
not be sufficient to keep the pools
filed with pure water. These baths
use about 10000 gallons of water q
day in, the bathing season.
Superintendent ]. S. Garland, of the
water department, of the District,
stated yesterday that while both the
District and Federal governments are
wasting much water which could be
conserved by the installation of proper
apparatus, the Federal government is
the worst offender
Any water is wasted, Superintendent
Garland states, which is not used as IT
should be. It appears that the Fed
eral government wastes many mil
lions of gallons of water for mechan-
ical purposes which could be used
over again If conservation apparatus
were installed.
The Soldiers Home. the Government
Printing Office and the State, War and
Navy Building allow this water,
which could be used several times. to
go of into the sewers.
