Mr. Walcott gave vivid recital of
the operations of the German system

his conversation with Gen. Won Kissing.
the governor general who died a few
weeks ago. Gen. Won Bissing admitted
that the plan was to rid Belgium of the
Belgiums by deportation of the able to

be re-settled by Germans and when the
war ended the country would automati-

A three thousand dollar Liberty Bond
subscription and "a donation of five
hundred dollars to the Red Cross chap

of the patriotism of Orak Shrine. At a
meeting last evening in the temple al

Red Cross is to be equally divided be-

The Shrine since the outbreak of the

been spent for the trip of the patrol

Italy is starting another offensive in

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE period
of leniency ended last night for men
between the ages of 81 and 80. inclusive.
who failed to register for the war army
last Tuesday.
A vigorous search is to be instituted
for non-registering slackers.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
sent to the governors of all the states
a message asking them ito inaugurate
from today a vigorous, aggressive and
effective enforcement of the penal
clause Of the selective service law
against all who have by their failure
to register brought themselves under
those provisions
The penalty for failure to register
on June is Imprisonment for a year
and enforced registration. but General
Crowder Immediately after registration
day recommended that local registta
tion boards provide further opportunity
for delinquents.
The Department of Justice today
notified United States attorneys to re-
lease those already arrested for failure
to register providing they have now
registered
Draft Rules Out Soon
General Crowder had nearly COM
pleted a draft of regulations to govern
exemptions and exemption boards. and
expects to lay it before Secretary Baker
in a few days for approval. The gem
eral believes no class should be exempt
ed as such. but that local boards should
decide on the circumstances in each in
dividual case. He favors use of some
device such as a jury wheel for draw
ing the names of those to be examin-
ed by the exemption boards. The regu
lations will be made public in detail
after Secretary Baker and President
Wilson approve them
A few more states reported regis
tration totals to the provost marshal
generals office yesterday, but indica-
tions were that all would not be COM
pleted for nearly week
Crowder's Order to States.
General Crowders message to gov
ernors saio:
Quotas are to be assigned to the
several states in proportion to the
population as determined by the bureau
of the census and not in proportion to
the registration. The result is1that
every person who has failed to register
is seriously increasing the burden of
those who have registered.
1T is requested that every effort be
now made to detect and arrest persons
subject to registration who have not
registered and to bring each promptly
to the attentioA of the nearest repre-
sentative of the Department of Justice.
Care should be taken that the lists pre-
scribed in paragraph 80 (nen register
ed) are promptly posted and all regis
trants should be asked to assist in
bringing nonregistrants to the attention
of the police.
I'm case of doubt as to the age of
persons who have not registered. the
tabulated records of political organiza-
tions and other local records should be
consulted and data may be obtained
from the bureau of the census"

WASHINGTON. June 12.>-Shortage
Of ships for military transport service
constitutes one of the biggest problems
before Americas war chiefs today.
That the dispatch of the bulk of the
new army may have to be delayed by
reason of this lack of transports. is ad-
mitted by men in charge There are
sufficient ships to carry vast numbers
of soldiers but it is only small part
of the problem as they must be sup
piled with food. clothing. artillery and
other equipment. The army will re-
quire it's own weight in food every
thirty-nine days while all artillery
must be replaced once month and 9TH
er supplies kept going in constant
streams.
In addition there is the question of
getting supplies to the allies. Govern
ment heads are perplexed. Next year
will see a new fiotilla of cargo carriers.
