contained in letter sent out from the
headquarters of the military training

| Arrang ements are being made here

expected that all patriotic ,organiza-

kuk branch of the National Security
league has also been ASKED to see that
some sort of loyalty demonstration is
arranged here.
The letter received by Mr.. Williams
| follows:
"The most inspiring opportunity
and patriotic obligation is presented
to our entire organization to give
every possible moral support and en-
couragement in the preparation for
June 9Th, the day of registration for
universal service of all men who shall
have attained their twenty-first birth
day, and who shall not have attained
their thirty-trst birthday.
In this great work every branch
committee is strongly urged to start
Immediately preparations to co-ordl-
nate all interests in making June 9TH
the occasion for the greatest demon
stratlon of patriotism ever known in
this country. We urge you to get in
touch with the leaders of patriotic So
cieties, civic and other organizations
in your city and vicinity, stimulate
their activities, and where advisable,
cooperate with them and work out
preliminary plans for the proper OBJ
servance of the day.
plans should be perfected so that
on June 5th every man within the pre-
|scribed age limits may be able to reg
lister without interfering with the
economic activities of his community.
The press Of your city should be urg-
ed to cooperate to the fullest extent.
Flags should be floating from every
public and private building and bands
should parade the streets. Before
June 5th mass meetings and special
services in churches should be arrang-
ed, at which speakers should empha-
size the tremendous Importance Of the
registration. People of the cities AMI
of the countryside should accompany
their sons, brothers and husbands to
the registration place in the feeling
that here in America is the altar OF
free institutions and that every man
who is putting down his name is sub
scribing to sacred service in the pro-
lection of those institutions. Every
man as he registers should be provid
ed with a khaki arm band Of honor
so that he can assume leadership in
the work"

Hoy Indicts the Pacifists

"Armed neutrality" was not
enough for Austin Hoy His mother
and sister were murdered when a
German U-boat torpedoed the La
coma. He cabled President Wilson
demanding that the United States
avenge their deaths. He offered his
service to his country, declaring that
if the United States did not act he
would enlist under another flag. He
has Joined the British army.
Will the Bryans and the Emer-
gency Peace Federationers condemn
Mr.. Hoy's action as rash? Do they
think that he should have awaited
an American referendum on war and
been governed in his action thereby?
Would these precious pacifists who
are striving TO scare Congress and
the Administration into the path of
dishonor be willing to fight if Ger
many had murdered their wives and
daughters? Or would they be con-
tent to demand money compensa-
ton? And if SO at how much per

news of today that the report of
the Foreign Relations Committee on
the resolution supporting the Pres
ident in his attitude toward Ger
many, had one dissenting vote, the
vote of William Joel Stone.
Nothing that The Times said re-
garding him can be so. convincing
of his total unfitness. Not all the
things that people from all over the
United States wrote and telegraphed
regarding his unworthiness can
compare with his own latest act as
an argument against his continu-
ance as the head of a committee to
which will be referred every matter
of foreign relations during the po-
tent days of the immediate future.
The President has advised the
fullest cooperation with the en-
tente allied governments. We shall
have reason to blush with shame if

framed on that advice we shall be

Our Human Supreme Court

Those who are wont to think of
the Supreme Court of the United
States as wrapped in an everlasting
mantle of decorum should have wit
messed the learned justices last night
in the House as they listened to the
Presidents address. Chief Justice
White led the court, and sometimes
Congress and the galleries, in the
applause which punctuated the ad-
dress. As became one of his judicial
discrimination, good judgment was
universally shown as to the time to
applaud. 1t was good to see his
massive, earnest face as every high
patriotic appeal was instantly re-
flected there. After all, the justices
are folks. Better than that, they are
Americans.

Bill Stone Runs True to Form

For several weeks The Times
sought to impress upon the mem
bers Of the United States Senate the
inadvisability Of continuing William
]. Stone as chairman Of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
It pointed out the improperly of
having a man Of his type and his
record as the titular head of that
body of men to whom would be re-
ferred matters affecting this country
and its attitude toward the world
war. 1t said as convincingly as it
knew how that some other man, a
man whose loyalty had not been
questioned, whose purpose had not
been impugned, and whose motives
had not been criticised should be
named in his place. The attempt
to oust him was unhappily ineffec-
tive.

charge and more convincing than

speech In full.

Jubilation Apparent.
The speech was received here too
late for comment in the morning
newspapers. Early today. however,
on the face OF meager bulletins em-
phasizing the import of the address,
the greatest jubiiation was apparent
In allied circles. What was particu-

promise of a "full-sized war" by the
United States against Germany, and
especially the pledge of liberal finan-
