the draft in camp by September

the draft in camp by September 1. Within a year America should see the l greatest army 1t has ever known,
 ever possessed. And this army can be raised in no other. way than the method employed by the federal gov | ernment and which started Tuesday
 with the registration of all available
 candidates.
 These candidates have already offered themselves. What matters 1t
 that they went to the registration stations under order Of the govern
 ment? They are not to be looked upon as conscripts in the deep sense of that word. There. was no other way out of the great problem that confronted the country at this time. Each man who presented himself for enrollment received a little blue regis
 tration card, a certificate that he had
 performed his duty. And that card is
 badge of honor.-the blue badge of
 honor, just as any wound he might
 receive in the line of battle will be
 the red badge of courage. It Is only
 a cheap little bit of pasteboard that
 probably did not cost onc-eighth Of a
 cent for the making; but dollars
 could not buy one from a man who knows the full meaning that lies back
 of 1t. On its face 1t carries the spread eagle of the republic, and
 .~Sx ira <a xsyha cern. attests by it's very presence that the bearer "in accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States. and in compliance with law. +~ has submitted himself to registration
 Those blue cards represent the heart of the nation. They attest to the world at large that the men of the United States between the ages of and thirty-one stand ready to defend Old Glory no matter what sacrifices such defense may entail. The mothers of the nation stand In back of their boys. It Is serious bust- ness, and every one understands what 1t means The men who went to tho polls and registered know what their action forecasts.-that they may be cut off from the pleasures of the moment, sent to the battle front. or put to work in the field or factory for Uncle Sam. The mothers and fathers know what it all means. But they look back to the years gone by and take their consolation from the great deeds gone before. They say, Tt is hard to do these things; but then if the American people of the Revolu- period had not done them. where would this nation be today If the American people of 1912 had stood idly by and allowed our ships to be run off the high seas, where would American rights have been in this hour? If the brave men of '61 had not fought against their very brothers. where would the Union be in 1917? ?" The heart of the nation beats with the true pulse of Liberty and Free dom. The heart of the nation can never be stilled so long as there are mothers and fathers willing and ready to lay 'such costly sacrifices ufon the altar of freedom" Abra- I ham Lincoln must be pleased with the American mothers of today, just as he was proud of the American mother who gave her five sons to the nation more than fifty years ago.

IlIE HEART OF THE NATION.

3 N 4 s E 3,s & sa E 2 4tt bsaham Lincoln, sad and weary h the weight of war, once wrote
 mother who had lost flve sons Ied in battle: T pray that our evenly father may assuage the an 1h of your bereavement and leave
 only the cherished memory of the ~and lost. and the solemn pride
 must bs yours to have laid 50 M . sacrince upon the altar of edom.
 Vere Abraham Lincoln alive today wOuld necessarily cherish the Ae noble thoughts for the> mothers the nation who have 50 willingly R1Aced their sons for the cause of edom. Not that there are any yet led in battle under the colors: not 3 there are mothers who have yet mourn the loss of their sons killed hattle under the Stars And Stripes this war: not that there is yet me for weeping and sorrow. But Lore may be, and. If so. the Ameri- 1ln mothers of today will bear np hder the burden just as the Ameri- m mothers of '9S, of '61, of '76
 There must be sacrifice that the Afion may live. The gallant array - young men between the ages of pnty-one and thtrty-one who on eeday last stepped Up to the polling pfhs and registered their names for common call of the nation exem- 1ed this spirit of sacrifice. Theirs 6sA solemn pride ito have laid so gly sacrihee upon the altar of

this morning by Bishop James II. Nc
Coy. Of Birmingham. Ala. as n resident

first session of the conference to be

The principal development Of the day
was the completion of arrangements for

conference.
There is much interest in the matter
Of the rlr"tinr Of delegates 10 the gen.
crnl conference which meets next year
nj Atlanta. If the Majority of the class
which will bc presented this year for
final cXamina ton is received into full
connection with the conference. it will
lie entitled to Siv representatives TO the
Atlanta meeting instead Of four as Mt
