WE NEED A REGISTRY SYSTEM

We had in the registration brilliant
example of how not to. do 1t. Desiring
to know what young gentlemen were
old enough for immediate military
service and not too old, we left it to
the young gentlemen themselves. In
principle what more absurd?
Suppose, now, that France mad
wanted to enroll an army offhand
Down would have come the big books
In which every Frenchman had been
registered at birth. and out would have
come the portfolios in which every
Frenchman's movements had been re-
corded to date. With ease and re-
markable promptness all necessary
names and addresses would have been
secured. Then policemen would have
fetched in the rockies.
We need that system here. Register
Americans at birth. In many parts
of America 1t is done now Make II
complete. Give every American a
birth certificate, and make him show
II whenever his Identification is re-
quired Keep track of his movements
The instant he acquires a new address
force him to fill out blanks for the
police telling where he is, where he
came from and what he is up to. This
will have important advantages aside
from its military value. 1t will dis
courage vagrancy, facilitate the detec-
ton of criminals and serve as a check
on court testimony. 1t will demon.

A PRAYER FOR VICTORY.

Thou God who strik'st the anvil of
the world
With wars dread hammer that the
souls of men
Shall by the mighty blows upon them
hurled
Be purified and know thy peace
. again,
Uphold our cause and guide thru bat
tle,st flame
The marching legions and the ships at
sea,
America has given in thy name,
To save humanity alive and free.
By slaughtered babes beneath the
sullen waves.
Aid us, we pray, to battle for the
right.
BY fallen friends who sleep in he
roes' graves,
Make us as worthy soldiers in the
fight
We stand before thee, askins
strength to break
The foe who filings aside thy sacred
Laws.
For Righteousness, for human well
fare, make
America thy sword and bless oul
cause.
