Only One Day to Register.

The war department wishes to i'm
press upon the people that there is
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing of the necessary blank forms
in the hands of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writer's.
One day only-the day fixed In the
presidents proc,amation-will be de-
voted to registration.

England's Food Problem.

1t is now absolutely accurate to state
that the war has settled down to a con-
f1ict between the submarines and Amer
lean shipbuilders. The war will be
won not alone by American shipbuild-
ers, but by the economy practiced in
English households. England sees her
folly in living during the first two
years OF the war as If nothing abnor-
NAL was transpiring. and is determined
to put into effect stringent laws regu-
lating the supply and consumption of
food. If the English householders will
help themselves (and God helps those
who help themselves) the American n
shipbuilders can be depended upon to
do their part. 1t Is stated that efforts
are being made to cultivate every avail
