Washington.-The registration Tues.
day Of the young men of the nation
for the selective draft armies to fight
Germany was an overwhelming sue
cess. The results, when fully tabulat-
ed, bid fair to exceed the most opti-
mistic expectations of the govern
ment.
1t is estimated on the basis Of pre-
liminary reports received from every
state in the Union that more than TO-.
100000 men from 81 to 80 years old.
inclusive, answered the call of the ma
tion. 1t is not unlikely that the final
total will be found in excess of the
Census Bureaus estimate of the num-
ber of men of the required age.
Cleveland and Detroit reported that
they were swamped with the applica-
tions of thousands of young men in
excess of the prospective number. In
both cities the registrars ran out Of
the government blanks and were COM
PEELED to print an emergency supply.
By long-distance telephone both
cities informed the War Department
that they could not possibly complete
the registration last night, and re-
ceived instructions to continue the en-,
rollment today.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has issued instructions to all regis
trars to keep the registration places
open until all who apply are recorded.
The prospect therefore is that in many
states the regulation will continue
today.
Already 1t is apparent that the
slackers who failed to come forward
numbered only an infinitesimal per.
centage of the whole number of men
eligible to the draft.
Registrars have been instructed to
register known slackers in every pre-
cinct Those thus registered involun-
tarily will be subject to draft and will
be prosecuted. Their names will be
sent at once to the adjutant general
and prosecutions instituted.
There was no serious disturbances
connected with the registration any
where in the country. Draft riots
failed to materialize and the anti
registration plotters kept under cover.
Almost every state reported that the
registration proceeded in an orderly
manner and with enthusiasm.

Sir Herbert referred most pleas
antly to his visit to Washington, and
testified to his keen appreciation Of
the work being carried on by the
Shakespeare Society OF America,
of which he and his wife are honor
ary members. He said that he him
self owed a great deal to Shakespeare,
because upon more than one oc-
casion his Shakespearean productions
had literally saved him from bank
ruptcy. In differentiating between
wit and humor he gave the Falstaff
speech on honor in the vein of Ham
let, and read the soliloquy Of Hamlet
in the mood and with the stage busi-
ness of Falstaff.
Sir Herbert referred to the interna-
tional situation of the hour, and made
an eloquent plea for peace. He said:
Il wish that Shakespeare was alive
now to tell US with a speech of fire
of the absolute futility of war. What
we want is a more pronounced art
to give us courage and to keep up our
high ideals. We must educate the
children of today, not in sweeping
from their toy boards the paper SOL
diers representing foreign peoples as
foes, thereby instilling in their minds
the germs of hatred and destruction,
but rather in educating their hearts
as well as their minds in human
brotherhood and love for all mankind.
And II is those who most hate war
that are determined that peace, a
lasting peace, shall be assured: so
that out of this very turmoil univer-
sal, everlasting peace may yet ar

ing to Assist Amateur
Farmers.

The Department Of Agriculture is
doing everything in its power to as.
sist Washington families to live
cheaper and has just issued a series
of bulletins setting forth the best
time to plant certain vegetables, and
the best soil for them.
The specialists of the Department
of Agriculture divide vegetables into
two classes-"warm temperature" and
cold temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees are in blossom,
they say, 1t is time to sow in the
open ground such seeds as lettuce,
radish, parsley, beets, turnips, cab
bage, carrots, peas, and onions. The
wrtnkled peas should not be planted
until later, as they are more liable
to rot in cool ground than are the
smooth varieties.

When the apple trees bloom 1t is
time to plant the heat-loving vege-

This, say the experts, is an old but

Lettuce is to the garden what the
hay crop is to the fieGd-aIways need

necessary with cabbage, except that

Beans do not require very rich
soil, and it is safe to plant them
on the very poorest patch. Snap
beans may be grown in rows between
