ATTITUDE OF YOUNG
 MEN OF NATION IS
 HIGHLY COMMENDED
Official Bulletin of National Publicity Bureau Declares America Has Proven Its lighting Spirit.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Registra- tion day developments were summar- ized by the committee on pubic infor- nation tonight in a statement which sad:
 Nearly 100000 Americans of mil itary age registered today for se- vioe in the army against Germany The registration was accomplished in a fashion measuring up to the highest standards of Americanism. The young men came to the registration places enthusiastic; there was no hnt of stacking spirit anywhere except in a few cases where misguideI pels3ns had been prevailed upon to a.,empt to avoid their national obligations. From every state reports were Teceivec showing that the sporadic consp racies to thwart the first step toward the mobilization of as large an army as the country may need to carry the war to victorious conclu.ion hau failed utterly. The' department of justice was ready to cope vii these conspiracies, but it proved to be un- necessary.
 Not After Exemption.
 The spirit of the young men from whom the fighting forces are to be selected was evinced in their attitude toward question F on the reg. .stration blanks, which asked if exemption was claimed. In thousands of cases young men availed themselves of their right to ignore this question and leave it en- tireSy to the exemption boards.
 Spirit was evinced again in the re- ceipt during the day of numerous re- quests from diplomatic and consular iofficials of the United States for ad- ditional registration cards to be used by citizens who are now in other coun- tries This fact was impressive be- cause registration is voluntary on tEe part of Americans residing abroad.
 Capital QuIer.
 An air of undemonstrative serious ness characterized the registration in the national capital With the excep- ]. tion of an occasional lull, there was a steady stream of Young men at each registration place to give the govern |. ment the information which it has de- 1 sired
 The only arrest reported before 6 i o'clock to the provost marshal general , in connection with regis,ra ion was | from Virginia, whose governor wired:
 "'The only incident reported was that of J. l.. Litz, of Coeburn.~ ~who. ac- cording to reports, criticized the Presi- dent, the administration and the flag. He was promptly arrested and held Ior trial
 ITO each who registered throughout the country was given copy of Presi- | dent Wilson's war message of April 2.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder | that persons registering on . June are at liberty to enlist in the | army, navy or marine corps at any time prior to their selection for mili- tary service"

Albert r. SAVAGE,

News OF the death Of Chief Justice
Albert r. Savage OF the Supreme Court
81 Maine. at his home in Auburn
Thursday. came as a shock to all and
as personal loss to people in every
part OF our State. Even while some
81 US were reading his decision that
the Lewiston police commission bill is
constitutional, the wires fash the news
OF his death. That was perhaps his
last important service as the head of
that branch of our government.
The admiration OF some men for
justice Savage had caused them to
openly declare him the biggest man in
Maine" II is not for us TO judge, but
to say Of any other man OF Maine that
he is as big in mentality and character
rs was our respected chief justice is
high compliment
For many years Maine people have
been recording incidents proving the
"bigness' of this man, whom to see
was to respect. to hear was to admire.
90 know was to love.

us are too old or too young to 60 to
out from the arms Of service demand
ing able bodies, by physical imperfec-
tons or misfortune. Some Of US were
too hard pressed by the high cost Of
the necessities Of life, to even purchase
Liberty Bond. but none Of US is too
poor to give SOMETHING for the as
sistance Of the great humane work Of
caring for the sick and wounded.
Can any citizen Of this broad land
think Of a more worthy object Of sup
port? Upon the successful organiza
ton, equipment and maintenance Of
the Red Cross depends. to a greater
extent than most of us know, the sue
cessful conduct of the war.
We must care for our own sick and
wounded. Only the Red Cross organ
ization can do the work. But this
body, which is now composed Of 2,000,-
900 members and rapidly growing. must
have the support and cooperation Of
every individual.
If your son is in any branch of the
service you must instinctively turn to
the Red Cross. with all it means to
him and to you.
If your son is wounded, you cannot
90 to him, but you will know that
trained, efficient, faithful Red Cross
men and women are caring for him,
every hour.
But you CAN help these Red Cross
workers who are caring for your son
or the sons of your relatives, neigh
bors and friends, by furnishing the
medicines, bandages, and all the equip
ment needed by these nurses in their
work of mercy. You can do this by
making your offering in the name Of
humanity.
Here is opportunity for you to do
your part, be it much or little. If 1t
be only enough to hold cooling drink
to the lips Of a fevered boy Of the
trenches, you can feel that you are
helping.
Send your sons to battle for world
Justice. Send your aid to those who
will care for him if he is i'll or wounded
and pray to God that the end of this
awful folly may soon come.
