ALBANY, April so--As soon as Wash

quiring the registration Of men subject
TO conscription Gov Whitman will Is
sue an order postponing temporarily the
states military census and inventory
and will issue another order to set III
motion the machinery already organized
throughout the State to carry out the
Federal registration.
Acting quietly under orders from the
Governor the military authorities and
city and county officials Of the State
have been preparing for week to list
for the Federal Government all men or
the prescribed ages. Only one day Will
be needed for this work. which will be
carried on with election districts as

Government" said Gov Whitman to-
night Therefore TO assure success OF

an order pos,ponng for the time being
the taking of military census IT. our
State.
But I want to assure those who
have been planning the State census
work and the home defence organza-
tions in all the counties OF the State
that we will go ahead with our military
census as soon as the Government has
the facts II needs concerning men fol-
conscription. I trust the defence or,
ganizations will rally TO the aid OF
county and city officials for this con
scription census just as they did 10,
the State work. and ] am confident that
putting on the military census for few
days will not lessen the enthusiasm o
these defence units or OF those who haC
/ volunteered for the work.
Elaborate preparations for hurryinl

other information OF value in working
out the selectiv" draft.
Gov. Whitman WAS advised to-nigh
by the War Department TO proceed will

STRIKES IN GERMANY
GROW MORE SERIOUS
Socialist Leaders Say They
Cannot Guarantee Order.

LONDON, May tTuesday). The
Daily Mails Hague correspondent
ascribes to the Koelntsche Volksseitun0
the statement that the Socialist leaders
have announced that they are unable to
take responsibility for the maintenance
of peace and order In Germany after
May day.
The internal condition of Germany Is
reported worse than generally believed
A million workers. largely women and
muntion makers. arc said to be sure to
strike on May day. The most careful
dispositions have been made throughout
the empire to suppress demonstrations
but there is the utmost anxiety.
Another despatch from Ths Hague
says:
Travellers from Germany announce
that strikes have been going on for the
past ten days In Westphalia and the
Rhine provinces especially In the steel
industry. The military authorities con-
sequently have forbidden newspapers to
be sent out Of the country"
No Berlin newspapers have arrived at
Copenhagen for two days Such stop
pages are often preliminary to important
military developments German sub
jects have been prevented from crossing
into Holland for the past six days. 1t
is believed this Is due to the Govern
ments desire to conceal conditions In
! Germany.
