KICKERS WARNED TO
KEEP MOUTHS SHUT
Judge Trieber and U. S. District At
torney Call Attention to Results
OF Failure to Register

Federal Judge Jacob Trieber of
Little Rock last Tuesday issued
statement saying that he will call
special sessions of the federal grand
jury where necessary to investigate
attempts to interfere with registra-
ton on June 5. Failure upon the part
Of anyone between the ages of q
and 81 to present themselves for re-
gistration is a serious offense and
subjects the offender to term in the
federal penitentiary,
The IT, S. District Attorney at Lit
tie Rock has given out the following
statement in regard to the matter:
q has been brought to the atten-
ton of the United States attorney
that in different parts of the State
some persons are undertaking to adj
wise those liable to CONSUMPTION that
they are not required to register, and
are calling upon them to evade re-
gistration and to refrain from per-
forming their duties under the con-
scription act Not only are these per-
sons guilty, of extreme disloyalty to
the nation, but in some instances
they are violating the law and will be
punished therefor The most serious
consequences of their seditious re-
marks, however,will be the punishment
melted out to those who follow their
advice and in pursuance thereof fail
to present themselves for registra-
ton. The law provides severe penal
ties for failure to register, and it is
the duty of every citizen to aid the
government in securing this regis
tration, and no one should be misled
or deceived by the unpatriotic acts of
those who would hinder the govern
ment at this time"

en- the full penalty of the law and
that he will direct the grand jury to

vent or discourage others from regis
tering

war with Germany because of the
sinking of few ships and the de-
struction of few American lives. If
that were the cause, we would have
declared war Immediately after the
sinking of the Lusitania.
We entered the war because the
President and the Congress Of the
United States, whom we have chosen
to direct our government and to con
serve our national interests, having
at their command means of securing
information not accessible to the pri-
ate citizen, became absolutely Ger
tain that the question this war is to
settle is whether the world-including
Americas to be free or is to be a
slave to Germany; that German
victory over England and France
would be followed as certainly as the
night follows the day, by an i'm
mediate attack on America. The ques-
ton is: Shall we prefer to fight Ger
many after she has conquered the Al
lies and has strengthened herself
with all the resources of France and
England, including the British Navy,
or shall we join in while we may
have help?
Germany may be likened to an arm
ed maniac. destroying life and prop
erty, who is being held by citizens
whom he is trying to murder Should
another citizen remain a peaceful
bystander, awaiting his turn at the
hands Of the mailman, or should he
attempt to help subude the maniac
while there is yet time
The story of German aggression
against America is long and sordid.
1t includes the filling of a friendly
country with spies-there is good evi-
dence that there are at least 100000
of these in the United Staes now; it
includes the blowing up of factories
and the numbering of workmen, at
tempts to involve US in war with
Mexico and Japan and the dividing
up of our territory-in short, there is
no act of perfidy or histility which
the German Government has failed to
commit
Other States will fittingly answer
the counry's call. Let the people of
Arkansas so conduct themselves that
in the years to come no descendant
of ours shall ever have cause to feel
ashamed of the star that represents
Jus in the flag which the world has
learned to honor as the emblem of
liberty

DUTY OF EVERY MAN
TO REGISTER JUNE 5

Congress has passed a law provid-
ing that on June 5 every male citizen
between the ages of q and 81 shall
report to the polling place in the vot-
ing precinct where he resides and
register. Heavy penalties will be en-
forced upon those who fail to comply.
The object of this registration is not
to conscript all men between those two
ages for immediate service 1t is es-
timated that there are 100000 men
subject to registration. The govern
ment must know at once what man
power it has to depend upon and must
have some means of locating and
classifying these men for the various
kinds of service It must have means
of discriminating so as to know, for
example, what men should be left in
agricultural work or other occupa-
tions, what men should be employed
in munition factories and shipyards
and what men should undertake mill
tary and naval service.
In August or September 100000
men, or oa4e in 20 of those who reg
lister, will be called to the eolors and
will begin to undergo training to
make them effective soldiers. Later
on others will be called, the number
being determined by the duration of
the war and its magnitude.
The President of the United States
the Department of War and the Cover
nor of Arkansas have asked that re-
gistration day be made a National
Holiday, which may be converted into
a magnificent demonstration of the
unity and patriotism of our country.
President Wilson, in issuing the pro
clamation announcing the date of
registration, used these words:
ut is in no sense a CONSUMPTION of
the unwilling; it is rather selection
from a nation which has volunteered
in mass. 1t is no more a choosing Of
those who shall march with the colors
than it is selection of those who
shall serve an equally necessary and
devoted purpose in the industries
that lie behind the battle line"
The people of Arkansas, as yet far
removed from the scene of conflict,
pursuing peacefully the daily routine
of their lives, wishing only to be I'M
molested in the conduct of their af-
fairs, and not having at hand the
sources of information possessed by
the United States Government, do not
realize the magnitude of the crisis
confronting the nation. We are not at
