The Country at War.

It has been frequently said since the
9th Of April that the people of this coun-
try do not realize that state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany. If this is true yesterdays
registration undoubtedly brought the
TACT home to them distinctly and per-
sonaliy. complete enumeration of the
younger men for the purpose of Great
ing an army could not fail to make
everybody recognize the fact that the
declaration Of state of war was no
mere form of words. The United States

such as it has never had before, war
that will be carried into other lands.
that will call for great numbers of men
and that will undoubtedly entail heavy
losses A certain percentage Of the men
who yesterday registered will in the
course Of few months be on the firing
lines in France. They Will pass through
the same trials and dangers and experi-
ence the same losses as the troops Of
France and England during the three
years of fighting. Then will come the
actual realization Of the magnitude of
the task which this country has reluc.
family but courageously assumed.

The Delinquents.

If any person yesterday failed to reg
lister though within the ages prescribed
by the law, he should Immediately re-
port the fact and the reason for his
failure to the registrar in his precinct,
or, if that registrar is not available, to
the chief registrar for the District. 1t
is possible that some Washingtonians
through forgetfulness or some obstruct-
ing circumstance neglected this duty,
and may now be afraid to go forth to
present themselves for tardy registration
for fear of penalties. It is far better to
acknowledge the fact Immediately and
beseech the mercy of the government
than to conceal the lapse, perhaps to be
discovered later. Undoubtedly consid-
Grafton will be given to those who
frankly acknowledge theis failure to
register. The penalty provided by the
law is designed mainly to punish those
who abstain from registration willfully
out Of contempt for the law or deliber-
ate disposition to evade it. Those who,
failing yesterday to present themselves,
continue in their dereliction put them.
selves in the class Of deliberate and
willful vioIators Of the law.

The War and Changes.

George W. Perkins in addressing a
camp Of student officers in New York
said:
NDo not tn that you Will 20 back
to the same conditions you left. When
you came to this camp you laid down
jobs in a world that will be almost obso.
lete when this war is over"
Allowance should be made for a little
exaggeration here. Mr.. Perkins, who is
. business man, was thinking in bust.
ness terms, and referring probably to
certain business conditions likely TO be
changed by the war, whether the struR.
bio be soon terminated, or protracted for
several more years. But the extent of
the change is problematical, as are the
forms the conditions will take
Many of the men now, or soon to begin
preparing for the war win return to
business employments with which they
are familiar, and maybe at larger pay
Unless all our calculations are awry and
60 wrong, we shall do more business
after the war than ever before, and, OF
course, require larger force for trans.
acting it.

yond the purposes entertained when
they were declared; and America has

Next. the Draft.

Now that the nation has been regis
tered for duty the process of selection
will begin. The first step will be the
prescription of the basic exemptions and
the creation of boards to examine the
registered names, to eliminate those who
automatically are set aside from possible
choice, including certain officials and
members of religious organizations who
There will also be exemptions for physi-
cal disability and for such reasons as
the dependence of others. Certain oc-
equations will be exempted, those that
bear most closely upon the national
needs. When all the exemptions are
made, directly by the boards and upon
application by the registrants, the names
that remain will be placed in recepta-
cles and in each state will be drawn
the number that represents that states
quota of troops. Of those thus drawn
a certain number will doubtless still
claim exemption, and these claims will
be passed upon, and if any further ex-
emptions are made additional names
will be drawn from the roll Of eligibles
to fill the gaps thus created.
Just how long this process will require
is not now known, but it should not con-
sumo many days. 1t is indeed impor-
tant for more than military reasons
that the process of making an army
should be advanced as rapidly as the
governments machinery permits and as
fast as the provisions are made for the
equipment and reception in training
camps of the men chosen for duty. For
it is only proper that those who are to
go should know the fact quickly, while
those who are to remain should like
wise be informed speedily. A long de-
lay, marked by uncertainty, would be
highly inconvenient and harmful.
Every possible preparation has been
made for the actual draft, however, and
there is small chance Of delays. While
Congress was considering the enactment
Of the law provisions were considered
and arranged in advance for not only
the registration, but the draft itself, and
SO, in all likelihood, in few weeks the
army will be in being, SO far as the
alignment of the men goes. Then will
come the assemblage in camps, the or
ganization into units and the drilling
and, as speedily as materials are ready,
the equipment and the actual soldier
making process. Doubtless before the
middle Of July the camps will be popu-
lous and the hard work Of preparation
will be in full swing.
If the enrolment proceeds in the same
spirit on the part Of the people that
was shown yesterday st the registration
there will soon como into being q citi-
zen army Of which tho United States
may well be proud.

The Nations Response.

Uniform good order and full response
to the call marked Americas first war
registration day. 1t was an inspiring
demonstration of the good citizenship
Of Americans that yesterday in every
state and every city the people who were
liable to enrolment as possible soldiers
presented themselves practically with
out exception and gave their names, and
that so few, as far as the returns now
indicate, claimed exemptions from serv-
ice.
Predictions of violent reactions
against the registration had been con-
fdently made. Some agitations had pre-
ceded the day itself. The governments
prompt and energetic measures in re-
proof and punishment demonstrated
that the law was designed to be obeyed
and that there would be no tolerance for
resistance. The evidently organized at
tempt to persuade the people not to sub
NIT to enrolment fell fiat, and the mil
lions who were eligible under the terms
Of the statute went to the designated
places and gave their names and condi-
tons of life promptly and cheerfully.
But not alone in the actual obedience
to the law was yesterday an inspiring
occasion. The registration was no I'M
willing, compulsory action on the part
Of the people. A spirit of eagerness to
serve tine country in its hour of trial
was manifested everywhere. The ranks
OF the army that is to be created out of
the materials yesterday enrolled will
comprise not merely obedient soldiers,
but jealous patriots, determined to write
the name Of America high on the roll
OF the nations engaged in the present
struggle to establish the principles Of
democracy.
Washington's enrolment fell short
OF the estimates, but through no fault
Of the people Of the capital. Evidently
the estimates were unduly high, doubtless
owing to the peculiar character of the
local population. Several thousand who
are domiciled here are legally residents Of
the states, and these registered by mail
in their home places There is no rea-
son to question the full presentation of
all who are within the prescribed ages
before the registrars in Washington yes
terday. This city is proud of the full
and prompt return which it was able to
make last night, the first to record its
readiness for service.

had her full share Of the experience.
The fathers in establishing this republic
accomplished more than was contem-
plated when they declared war on the
mother country. In our war with Mex
leo we went beyond the original plans.
When we declared for Cuba we had no
thought of either Porto Rico or the
Philippines.
So now. Our declaration of war rests
on given point and carries specific
purpose. But we can neither fix the
length Of the hostilities, nor forecast
changes in boundaries, nor changes in
forms of governments abroad. There is
much speculation, naturally. But the
upheaval is so far extended, and so much
is involved, there are no guideposts.
We have, however, to give us con-
fdence, the fact that from all our wars
we have come out in improved shape
stronger than before. And this is true
also of our terrible strife between the
sections. We emerged from that real
nation, with central government of es-
tablished power; and we have been
strengthening it ever since.
How readily we shall adjust ourselves
to the new times, conditions and obliga-
tons that are ahead will depend neces-
sarily on matters entirely out Of our ken
today. But that we shall be able to fill
the order, however large, when it comes
is assumable from the record we have
made as a nation, some of it under cir
cumstances of very great difficulty.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-06-06

experience. Heavy taxes must be laid.
No dispute exists, or can be raised, on
that point. But when this, that or the
other thing is proposed for tribute OBJ
lection is heard from the interests af-
fected. Each either wants to escape the
burden altogether, or else to bear 1t IN
small measure.
This, however, is human, and business,
and taxation nature, and as such must
be dealt with, first by the finance COM
mittee, and then by the Senate. They
must make of these numerous local ques-
tons gigantic national question, and
deal with it in a national way. Many
things must be assessed, and some heav-
lily. The money needed must be raised
Still, the inquiry persists: Why, when
so much money is necessary, assign such
an enormous sum to the present genera
tions As posterity is certain to profit
largely if what is now on the cards sue
ceeds, why not assign liberal portion
of the expense to those who are to come
after usf 1t is assumable that they
will be able and willing to pay. The
present proposition is to increase the
opportunities and prosperity Of this
country, and put it into the lead in the
world equation.
There is great wealth in America, as
the banks show. There is large profit in
many kinds of business, as dividends
and wages show. But the times are alb
normal. We have entered into new and
colossal obligations; and they may run
for some time. 1t is not in any mans
power to estimate how much money will
be required to finance the undertakings
of this day. So that in fixing charges
we should have regard for both present
and future, and adjust the burden equi
tably in every way.

The Senate's Problem.

"The tariff" said Gen. Hancock, "is a
local question" The professional sol.
dier, lifted suddenly into political
leadership, expressed himself infelici-
tously, and incurred some ridiculc. The
remark did not cost him the presidency
but it helped to emphasize the conten.
ton of the opposition that his lack Of
experience in political and in business
matters would initiate against him
should he reach the White House. And
SO he was defeated.
Well, how about direct taxationf Is
not that local question: The Senate
finance committee is finding It so; and.
