 German Ready to Fight
 In one of the third precinct registra- tion places 250 persons were registered. ,, The conscientious objectors" present. ed themselves. one claimed exemption, on the ground that he was member oi the Bible Students association. The other objected on the ground that he 1 was opposed to legalized moder He said he was q student.

 To Go After SIackers
 i So far as has been reported there ! have been no attempts to evade regis ! tration or to interfere with registration 1 but it is expected that some persons ! have not registered who should have i done so. That cannot be ascertained until there has been a checking up. | Such cases may be discovered quickly and some of them will naturally take some time. but Assistant United States Attorney Langston said last night that under instructions from the attorney i general of the United States the prose

 Ready for Marathon
 Among those registering at the Cen tral school building yesterday was Mill ton Stamitas, the anglicized name after [" fashion of Miltiathes Stamitapopo lous, the Greek proprietor of the Frenc: Restaurant. There is in him the spirit if not the blood of his immortal name. sake, Miltiades the son of Cimon. tho hero of Marathon and the "tyrant oi the Chersoneus." Stamitas registered Icheerfully and said ,.iat he would gc back to fight just a, cneerfully and i, would not be his first expedition home for fighting since coming to this country. At the outbreak of the Balkan war he went back and entered the Greek army first against the Turks and later against the Bulgarians.
 The extent of the dairy business in this vicinity was illustrated by a CO., incidence at this precinct. One young man came in while he was answering the questions by member of the board another. a stranger to him entered and engaged the attention of another mem- Der. Replying to question. What is your occupation?" he said Butter maker Why. that's my business too" said the other young man.
 Spirit of America
 The registration developed two sur iprising things. One i--as Jle large mum Der of registrations and the spirit of the young men who presented them i selves. In very few cases were claims of exemption suggested by those regis tering. They generally came out in reply to questions by the boards as reasons why exemption might be claimed. The more frequent one was a family which was not mentioned as dependent until in reply to questions. it was stated that the family had no other support than that of the person regis tered. There was no ugliness of dispo- ,sition and none came to the registering places with the appearance of having

additional cards today by thousands
 Few eleventh hour rulings were found necessary. The system devised hy General Crowder of invoking the political machinery of the nation in the task worked with a smoothness that spoke of perfect cooperation by state, county and municipal officials
 General CrOwder mace it clear, however. that registration acted as a bar against no man who wished to en- list in the army CT navy. Any man who enrolled himself today. but whose patriotic impulse bids him step into the ranks now and not await selection day will pass from the registra ton lists automatically \ man may take his choice as to the part of the great national army in which he will serve, regulars rational guard or selective army. Many cards mailed bV men a b. sent from their home precincts failed tG show the present address of the in- dividual.
 Governors of many states" General Crowdar said in a statement report that the registration cards of absen- tees which are reaching home pre- cincts iu many instances do not carry the present address of the absentee who is mailing the card,
 'Tt is imD0ssible in theee cases to mail registration certificates to such ahsentNes. An abseatee who has made this mistake should at once send his address to the registrar of his precinct and reouest q certificate The request should he addressed as follows
 'TO the registrar ..-.. precinct Cyour homel care sheriff .... county. ............ state. If perma- nent home is in q city of 30.000 or over. mail card in care of the mayor of your city"
 Late tonight only four arrests had been officially reported to the depart- ment of iustice-at Hamilton Ohio. Hartford Conn. Richnond. Va. and at a small place near St. Louis
 Department Of justice officials had anticipated only local or sporadic dis OTbances and had predicted that the men opposed to registration would not resort to force anywhere. but they took every precaution to cope with emergencies if their plans to check all trouble in it's incipiency should fail.
 Every man in the field had strict orders to arrest offenders promptly and hale them before federal commis- sioners. The success of th~ir plans and of the work of the men in the field and the splendid order that prevailed generally surpassed even the eXpecta : tions of government officials.
 Official reports showed that the registration passed without even sucl exciting disturbances as mark a gen era political election.
 Reports were slow in corning into the department of justice which was gratifying to officials because it indi- eated lack of trouble, in view of the strict instructions sent everywhere tc report trouble instantly to Washing ion. A long dispatch came to the de- partment from it's representative ir Chicago announcing that while they had investigated a few reports of dis order there had been thus far not 2

greater allowance was made
 Within two hours after the opening the sherlffs office began to be bombarded with demands for more cards and mes sengers were hurried in every direction with them. At the Central school pre- cinct 1t was thought that not more than fifty registrations would be made By little after noon more than ITO per sons had registered. Demands came from Chandler and many of the farther removed precincts.
 Registration Hour Extended
 In the middle of the afternoon. Colo nel Fred S.sBreen, in general charge of registration in this state. received a telegram from Washington directing that the time for closing the registra tion places be extended beyond o'clock at night long enough to permit all to register who might not have appeared at that time.

A surprise
 in biscuits

When my mother brought in the plate of hot biscuits she said: hank goodness they turned out light! Your Cottolene certainly does make them light
 She meant the Cottolene that MT, c, had given me to try.
 My small sister teased Mother about butter, because Mother had always sworn by butter for biscuit making.
 But Mother had to admit that Cottolene was quicker and easier beside being cheaper tran butter and yet that Cottolene biscuits tasted every bit as good as butter biscuits. She said she had never yet seen a shortening that mixed as evenly and smoothly as Cottolene. l he biscuits were rich and crisp with a delicious flavor

RED CROSS COMPLETES WORK ON
TWO HUNDRED CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

Christmas spirit pervaded the Red
| Cross Headquarters yesterday, when
| groups of prominent Pensacola wo-
men worked ceaelessly in preparing
the packages which will carry Yule-
tide cheer to the boys in the trenches,
and show that Pensacola, and the
United States are with them in
thought and action.
Two hundred packages have been
prepared. and will be shipped this
afternoon to the district headquarters
at Atlanta, and started on the long
trip to France y. iere they will ar
rive about December 25th to gladden.
the hearts of the soldiers of Democ-
racy.
To one animated to the wonders
of the Red Cross it is astonishing that
so MANY things could be contained in
so small parcel. All of the contents
are neatly arranged to avoid crush
ing, and the entire package couples
very little space.
Each pakage is wrapped securely
in great red figured bandana hand
kerchief, which forms a part of the
gift. Into the folds of the wrapping
are placed the articles which were
)
things which the soldier boys will
enjoy, and which will make the
trench life easier for them.
The completion or the work, on
time, with everything ready for ship
ming today, reflects great credit on
the members of the general commit
tee which was headed by Mrs. j. B.
McNeill, and composed of Mrs. J. F.
TAYLOR, Mrs. C. S. Bonacker, Mrs.
John P. Stokes, and Mrs. w. K.
liver. Under this general committee
were several other units working to
collect certain articles for the boxes.
The Childrens' Division of the Red
Cross working under the supervision
of Mrs. Wilmer S. Hall, Mrs. c. w.
Oliver, and P. A. Buck, supplied the
candy for the packages. and a total
of III pounds was used.
Each package contains two trench
candles, a unique invention, and most
useful. Accounts from the firing
line state that emergency operations
are sometimes held with no other
light that the Pickering glow of the
trench candles. They aren't like
other candles, as they have no wlcks,
being simply tightly wrapped news
papers, soaked with paTrafine wax,
and a short one, three inches long,
and a half inch in diameter will burn
steadily for two hours.
A large number of these were need
ed, and the work was done under the
skillful direction of Miss Whiting.
Fruit cake, which is indispensable
in a Christmas celebration, makes up
portion of each pakage, and the
large quantity necessary was obtained
through the untiring efforts of Mrs.
w. B. Ferriss and Mrs. W. K. Hyer.
In securing this cake, as with the
candy, the cooperation of the MEM
bers of the local organization made
the achievement possible.
But it is-not all cake and candy

for the success attained in arranging

of the business men of the city have

untary, and whole-hearted, and with
out it, the same success might have
been attained, but not with the same
ease.
1t is the same spirit Of Pen-aco1a
that made a success of the Y. NJ. c..
