Fugitives From Service.

The Presidents proclamation giving
warming "that all persons subject to
registration under provisions Of the act
OF Congress and the proclamation Of
the President who withdraw from the
jurisdiction of the United States for
the purpose Of evading such registration
expose themselves on their return to
tho jurisdiction Of the United States to
prosecution for such evasion Of regis
tration" will give universal satisfaction
to loyal Americans. That there should
be able-bodied citizens Of the United
States Of military age who would flee
the country to avoid registration with
it, chance for honorable military serv-
leo is q matter Of humiliation to
Americans and probably a revelation
to those who have entertained the de.
lusion that in case Of war every Ameri-
can would spring to arms in a night.
Nearly all young Americans are sound
in their Americanism, and those found
not to be should have the appropriate
lesson administered to them.

No Exemption From Registration.

Many Washingtonians hold illegal
residences" in the states, having come
here to take government positions. Such
as these, if between the ages of twenty.
one and thirty one, must register here
If man expects soon to return to his
own state, if he is merely visiting here
he must register in the state of his legal
residence. It is for him to determine
where he will register, and for him to
take the necessary steps to get his regis
tration card back to the proper place
by June 5. He must consult the postal
schedules and make certain that his card
will reach the registrar in time:
Those who reside here by reason of
government employment must register
here, wherever they may claim legal
residence. They do not have to register
twice in order to be certain. The fact
OF their government employment here is
sufficient proof Of the propriety of their
local registration.
In all these matters of registration the
citizen is in the first stage his own
judge. He must assume full RESPONSE
bility for insuring that his name is en-
rolled. He is not to judge, however,
whether or not he is eligible for or ex-
empt from military service. That is for
the government to determine. He NAV
be minus both legs, or both arms, or be
blind or deaf and dumb, or suffering
from an assuredly incurable disease.
Still he must register. He may be vio-
lently opposed to war in general and to
this war in particular. He is not to
judge whether or not this state of mind
disqualifies or excuses him. He mrst en-
roll his name as a potential soldier.
Registration is peremptory duty for
every male between the ages of twenty.
one and thirty one, native or naturalized
or alien. If there is any doubt about the
age the safe way is to register, with a
note of question, and leave the matter
to be determined later.

were among his hearers veterans Of the
Union and Confederate armies and the
drab-clad soldiers of the new American
army.
A good deal of water has passed under
the bridges since that amphitheater was
dedicated May 80, 1873, after having
been very hastily constructed, for work
on it was not begun until May Of that
year. It was designed by Gen. Mont
gomery c. Meigs and built, as an old
chronicle puts it, "under the supervision
Of Col. Curtis, superintendent Of the
cemetery, for Gen. Myers, depot quar-
termaster."
Then the peace Of Appomattox was
only eight years past, memories Of the
great struggle were fresh and sectional
feeling not yet allayed. The principal
speaker at the dedicatory service was
the Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage. It is curl
Gus in this day when the passions of the
sections have died away to read the re-
port Of that address.
Since the dedication Of that old am
phltheater the veterans of 81 and '65
nave held fraternal meetings at Bull
Run, Gettysburg and on other bloody
fields. In all the national cemeteries
the graves of Confederate soldiers have
been marked, while at Arlington a fine
monument has been erected to the mem
ory Of the men who died in their uni
forms of gray. Within a few hours the
capital of the nation will entertain the
reunion Of the survivors of the lepions
of the Confederacy. How time changes
the spirits of men!

1920.

Secretary MeAdoo is starting on his
second tour in the interests of the lib
erty bonds. His receptions on the first
were exceedingly cordial. The audiences
were large, and composed mainly of
business men. The bonds are business
proposition. Men who handle money in
large sums want full particulars, and
the Secretary of the Treasury is well
prepared to give them.
For this reason it is not only inoppor-
tune but absurd to attempt to attach
any political significance to the Secre-
tafy's movements There can be no
room for politics in them. Idle, there
fore, as well as absurd, is the printed
gossip about 1920 and Mr.. McAdoo as
the democratic candidate for President.
The man-politician, political observ-
er, or what not-who is at present pick
ing his candidate for President in 1920
Is either indulging in a little humor, or
else is skylarking and wasting his time.
What has he to 60 byf How far can he
see in the fog that envelops alls Not
ten days ahead. A forecast Of twenty
four hours about anything is risky.
To illustrate: Who may say today
what the attitude Of the country may be
three years hence on the subject Of a
third terma As yet there has been no
change from the old attitude. The ira
dition still holds: No third term in the
White House for,anybody.
But we are embarked upon a new
course, and Mr.. Wilson is the guide. If
he guides we'll he will be more power
full parsonage in 1920 than now. And
there may be movement to set aside
the tradition in his favor. If there
should be, it will find supporters. At
Chicago in 1880 Gen. Grants candidacy
for third nomination attracted large
) following; and in 1912 Mr.. Roosevelt
was not only nominated for what he
conceded would in effect if secured be q
third term, but his candidacy proved
stronger than that Of the man-Mr. Taft
who in part was representing opposi-
tion to third term.
4 The next presidency is one of many
things now on the knees Of the gods.
The campaign for it may be one Of the
most stirring the country has ever
known, or it may be tame and one
sided. A guess about the weather or the
crop yield for that year would be quite
ss safe as about who will succeed Wood
row Wilson in the White House.

Old Amphitheater at Arlington.

The memorial exercises at Arlington
last Wednesday were perhaps the last
that will be held in the old and historic
amphitheater whose timbers and shabby
brick piers are veiled with vines IN
spring and summer. 1t is probable that
when another Memorial day comes the
splendid new amphitheater will be in
commission. When the President, speak
ing from the rostrum of the old struc-
ture, said, eve did not set this gov
ernment up in order that it might have
a separate and selfish liberty, for we
are now ready to come to your assist
ance and fight out upon the field Of the
world the cause Of human liberty" there

Cranks and the War,

A young man, thirty years of age, a.
visitor from Ohio, said to a policeman
at the Union station yesterday: I
am the bearer Of message from God to
President Wilson on how to bring peace
to all the world" He was taken in
charge, and of course did not have an
opportunity to deliver his message at
the White House.
Eyen in times of peace there are
many persons who visit this town on
missions having the widest ring. All
seek an interview with the President.
None succeed in reaching his presence.
6omething-a foolish remark, or queer
look or gesture-betrays them, and they
are halted.
Some of these missions have to do
with personal matters. One man is seek
ing swindlers, who have made way with
his savings. Another man is seeking
capital for the development of q price
less invention. Still another has re-
peived . tip from . mysterious source

about buried treasure, and wants to un-
cover it. All alike have the same idea
about the President-that his power is
unlimited and his sympathy unbounded
II they can only reach him their diff
fculties will be ended.
At present crankdom turns to the war
It is the all-absorbing topic - difficult
enough for the normal and unexcitable,
but positively "poison" for visionaries
and the unbalanced. Schemes for end
ing hostilities and making removal of
them impossible for ever afterward are
numberless, and those who entertain and
explain them among the most earnest Of
mankind. Many seek the President, and
now and then one reaches him. But he
is never assisted in his labors by any
practical suggestion. The problem re-
mains as before.
Cranks should be kept at home. The
present is not a good time for them to
travel, nor Washington the right little,
tight little city for them to visit. Hos
pitable at all times, it is today enter
tanning many visitors bearing no special
messages from above or below, but max
ing some valuable contributions toward
helping the country in its difficulties
Naturally, they are gladly received, and
should not be jostled by dreamers and
the latter's kind. The person with a
special message should deliver it to
Buster, or to a physician. The President
is far too busy to receive it.
