who shall serve an equally necessary
and devoted purpose in the industries
that lie behind the battle line.
The day here named is the time upon
which all shall present themselves for
assignment to their tasks. 1t is 70. that
reason destined to be remembered as one
of the most conspicuous moments in our
history. 1t is nothing less than the day
upon which the manhood of the country
shall step forward in one solid rank in
defense of the ideals to which this
nation is consecrated. 1t is important
to those ideals no less than to the pride
of this generation in manifesting it's
devotion to them, that there be no gaps
in the ranks.
1t is essential that the day be APP
preached in throughput apprehension
of its significance, and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning that it
deserves. Our industrial need prescribes
that it be not made technical holiday,
but the stern sacrifice that is before us
uges that it be carried in all our hearts
as great day of patriotic devotion and
obligation when the duty shall lie upon
every man, whether he is himself to be
registered or not, to see. to it that the
name of every male person of the desig-
mated ages is written on lists of honor
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
18th day of May, in the year of Oul
Lord, One Thousand, Nine Hundred an6
Seventeen, and of the independence OF
the United States of America the one
hundred and forty-first.

Scattered NIL over the Yucatan peninsula are
monuments to II civilization thai tlorrished thou"
sands of years ago. Just how many thousand no.
body knows and scientists differ very materially in
their ideas Oh the subject. The prevailing belief,
however, ~ that this civilization was In fail swing
ms late rs The beginning Of the Christian era. Other
scientists assert that the ruins ~antcaate those of
Egypt. ...
Yucatan can we'll he called "The American
Egypt" The ruins of 1T2 cities, big and little. have
been discovered and not a quarter OF The territory
has been explored, that Is, carefully explored, for
tho tropical yrrlure makes the finding OF them
very difficult. You might pass within n hundred
feet Of q wonderful old temple or pyramid a hun
drad times aud not discover it, 50 effectively does
the Jungle screen these crum'iing monuments OK
the distant pust and shield them from the pryihs
eyes Of this inauisitive and presumptlions age.
or the 172 clusters Of ruins discovered, two sets
represent what We're once large and prosperous
cities, of about half II million inhabitants each.
Doubtless ut different times each one of these two
cities was the capital OF the country.
One Of the cities is UXiual, pronounced "Ush-
null" situated in the southwestern part Of iucn-
tnn. and the other Is Chichen liza, In the eastern
pnrt OF the state. One Is six miles away from the
railways end through the jungle ana the other IL.
In both cases the road leading out liz little better
than n trail and without question the toughest
rond TINT u Wheeled vehicle was ever pounded to
pieces on.
To my mind the most interesting ruin OF oil IS
1.-THE House Of the Dwarf" Mt USmnl. IT Is a
pyramtd. with u temple on top where the priests
made human sacrifices. The steps on one side are
fairly well preserved. A double chain IL run down
them no that It Is possible to rench the top II you
have a cool head. Once there you crawl through
a hole knocked In the temple wall and come OUT
on q platform which was the sacrihcial altar.

pyramid the inhabitants of the city gathered to
watch these fiesta, doings. Fifty thousand people
could stand in 1t. Around this huge court runs II
palace, two stories high and beautifully carved,
which was the home Of the nuns, for whose special
dclectatIon these sacrifices were made. Inc nuns
were the aristocrats of ancient Maya society.
On all four of the inner sides of this palace are
carved two huge snakes. whose bodies are en-
twined as they twist around the structure. Ihese
snakes have human heads and tnssels for tails. In
all the ruins the carvings are OF the same pc
culiar design. The patterns of the borders ana
The general ornnmentation strongly suggest the
~IIgptian.
What is most wonderful OF all is how they were
able TO cut those huge blocks OF stone ana t''ea
carve them 50 beautifully without metal ham
mers or chlscls. There is no iron or other metal
in the country and so all they had to work with
was Oin,. How they raised the blocks into place
none can explain. That remains as much OF Il
mystery as the Pyramids of Egypt. This Is used
rs an argument to prove that the same race OF
peoplc did them both. ~
There are many more ruins standing at Chichen
liza than Mt Uxnal, but In both cities all the
smaller structures and private houses have dlsap-
reared. The ages have worn them away or earth
auakes shaken them down and the jungle has Gov
cred all. The natural accumulation OF soil for cen
turtles hns also covered them many feet deep. The
bases Of the big buildings still In sight are, OF
course, below the present surface. Not much has
been done in the way Of excavating, for the gov
eminent Is only just turning Its attention to these
wonderful relics Of the past.
The ruins have several fents IN mason work that
nre beyond our twentieth century architects, such
rs arches without keystones. leaning walls, rounn
corners, hanging terraces, and 50 on. Inc walls
are nil enormously thick and the rooms rather
small, even in the houses of the governors or
kings. or Whatever they were called. Most Of these
rooms IRE now inhabited By bats and nre not ut ni
