Flower Of NATION
LISTED FOR DRAFT
AMERICANS ENROLLED FOR
WAR SERVICE.
The Manhood Of United States Obeys
the Presidents Call, Registration
Being 100 Per Cent, Spontaneous
and Without Murmur.

Washington.-Mo than 10,00000t
young Americans enrolled themselves
on June 5 for war service. Regis
tration day, with but d few weeks OF
preparation, saw the first military cen
sus ever taken In the United States
completed without a single untoward
event of consequence
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered in
mass, setting at naught all the schemes
and plottings of German sympathizer:
and the few cranks who have agitated
against registration. 1t remains but
to select the men who are to go to tho
front.
In some precincts the late corners
forced officials to keep the polls open
until long after the D. m. closing hour
set in the regulations. General Crow
der authorized them to keep open as
long as men wished to enroll them
selves. The result will be further to
delay the transmission of returns,
however.
Early reports, showing a full turn
out all over the country, indicated that
the estimates Of the census bureau as
to the number of men within the spe-
Gifted age limits would be verified by
the count Wherever partial figures
were available the estimates checked
closely.
A typical message received was that
from Idaho:
Registration will be 100 per cent"
ii said. Spontaneous and without
or incident"
The situation was so clear and the
response so ready that governors of
forty-six of the forty-eight states had |
sent similar assurances long before |
registration had closed and the other |
two were close on their heels
feature of the registration was the
refusal of hundreds of thousands of men
10 make any reply to the question:
DO you claim exemptions" Even men I
who reported that they had dependent
families ;-zmen with obvious physical
disabilities and those whose occupa-
ions are certain to keep them at home
itthhtu " thStht SuCIi Cisilil. APP |
they have entered fully into
he very spirit of the law. They are
'ontent to leave the question of ex-
.mption to the exemption boards.
Tuesdays registration included only
Continental United States. Alaska and
Hawaii will record their fighting men
m dates to be set later and the roll
# Americans now abroad who are be-
ieging consulates all around the world
or registration cards viii add to the
reat list The state department was
allied upon for additional cards by the
thousands.
Few eleventh hour rulings were
ound necessary. The system devised
y General Crowder of invoking the
olitical machinery of the nation in
he task, worked with a snoothness
lat spoke of perfect cooperation by
tate, county and municipal officials.
Only four arrests were officially re-
orted to the department of Justice

IMMENSE ARMY IN FRANCE.
German Troops on Western Front Es
timated at Three Million.

Ottawa, Ontario.-The German army
on the western front at the end of May,
an unofficial estimate received here
from Canadian army headquarters in
France, consisted of 1914 divisions,
of which 1071a were holding the line
with the other fifty in reserve, Esti-
mated on the minimum and maximum
reckonings of 1900 and 10000 troops
to a division, this would indicate the
presence of from 2047 800 to 3,l50,00O
troops. or these from $4,000 to l.
000, 900 would be in the reserve.

The tub In which Diogenes, the
cynic, made his home was a great
earthen Jar, discarded from the Cybele
Temple 1t had been used for wine or

war the Athenians dwelt In just such
vessels and that even after the death
OF Diogenes such receptacles were
used as dwelling places by the poor.

"VERY citizen of the United
