PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

In his selective draft proclamation,
after setting forth the provisions OF
the law and appealing to the loyal cit
liens of the country, not only to reg
lister, but to lend every possible aid in
an effort to secure the registration Of
every man liable under the law, Pres
ident Wilson designates the day of
registration, June 5, 1917 between the
hours of a. m. and 9 p. m. The clos.
ing paragraph of the proclamation is
as follows:
1T is essential that the day be ap-
preached in thoughtful apprehension
and of its significance and that We ac-
cord to 1t the honor and the meaning
that it deserves. Our Industrial needs
prescribe that it be not made a tech
nical holiday, but that the stern sacri-
fee that is before US urges 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 reg
listed or not to see to it that the name
of every male person OF the designated
ages Is written on these lists of hon.

Although congress, after mucn
wrangling accepted the offer OF Col
Roosevelt to supply volunteer army
for service in France. the president, IN
a smoothly worded announcement. de-
clined the tender with thanks. The
basic reason for puncturing the Col
onel's ambition according TO the pres
ident is that war as carried on under
modern methods to barbaric end re-
quires trained men, and the president
considered that it would be useless
and cruel sacrifice to put an unframed
army in the field against the highly or
ganized soldiery of Germany. Roose-
Welt accepts the disappointment in the
spirit of real patriotism, and advises
all those who were willing TO follow
his leadership to lend their aid 10 the
government in carrying out the war
to a successful conclusion. Col. Roose-
velt's moderation under the circum-
stances, and considering the fiery ma
ture of the man, is to be commended.

CIVILIAN USE OF
KHAKI DISCOURAGED

According to w. E. Fuller, vice
president Of the Northern State bank,
the Committee on Supplies of the
Council of National Defense is asking
the cooperation of all organizations
and individuals in discouraging by the
force of public opinion throughout
the country the wearing of khaki by
civilians.
The demand for khaki cloth to be
use by the military is very large. T.
is correspondingly important that
civilian use OF khaki should not COM
pete with the governments necessities.
The committee on supplies reports
that there are large stocks Of cloth
Ing made of other materials, and that
these stocks should be utilized with
out civilian demand for the kind of
cloth needed by the military.
In he opinion Of the committee on
supplies commercial organizations can
render valuable assistance by under
taking to create a public sentiment
against civilian use Of khaki.
