Washington - Having proclaimed
June 5th the day on which the 10000
900 men of the country from II to 80
years old will register for the select
i've draft army. President Wilson Fri
day night issued orders for the dis
patch of the first expeditionary force
to France.
This expedition, which will be sent
to the firing line as soon as possible.
will consist of one division of regular
army troops-about $4,000 men-and
will be under the command Of Gen.
]. ]. Pershing. who led the American
army in pursuit of Villa In Mexico last
year.
The War Department announced
that the National Guard would be
called out for training on July 18th
and 25th and Aug. 5th. together with
the intelligence that regular army
division would be sent to France.
The announcement of the decision
to place the American flag on the fir
ing line at once was made in the fol-
lowing press bulletin issued by the
War Department.:
1.-The President has directed an ex-
division of regular troops under com
mand of Gen. John ]. Pershing to pro-
ceed to France at As early date as
practicable.
Gen. Pershing viii precede the
troops abroad. 1t is requested that
no details or speculations with regard
to the mobilization Of this command.
dates Of departure. composition or
other items be carried by the press
other than the official bulletins given
out by the War Department relating
thereto"
Gen Pershing was a brisadier gen
eral when he led the forces into Mex
leo in pursuit of Villa.
The Presidents proclamation calling
for the registration Of the 10000. 900
men in the country from 81 to 30
years old. inclusive. sets forth the pro-
cedure to be followed by persons sub
ject to the call whether they be resi-
dent in their home localities. temper
arily absent or i'll. The registration
blanks already have been distributed
to local officials and will be available
five days hence.
In his proclamation the President
dwells upon the necessity in this war
OF Transforming the entire nation into
combined military and economic
army. 1.-The men who remain to till
the soil and man the factories" he
says. ARE no less q part of the army
that is in France than the men be-
meath the battle flags. 1t must be so
with us. 1t is not an army that we
must shape and train for the war; it
is nation"
To achieve this purpose each man
must do not what he pleases, but
what the nation wills he is best fitted
to do. In accordance with this prin-
ciple men best fitted for fighting will
be tolled off, to form the selective
army, while others will be assigned to
industrial and agricultural tasks The
President also seeks to inspire the ma
ton to a new enthusiasm. to make of
registration day spiritual and pat.
riotic holiday, when the duty shall
lie upon every man, whether he Is
himself to be registered or not, to see
to it that the name of every male per-
son of designated ages is written on
these lists of honor"
The division sent to France will
consist of picked units of the regular
army. All the men will be veterans
of the service. They will go into a
camp near the front in France. where
they will receive intensive training
in the most approved methods OF
trench warfare

Choose Your Dentist
With Greatest Care

When it becomes necessary for you
to haUe dental work done, it IS a mat
ter of greatest importance that the
dentist who does the work shall knoU
his business and knoU hoU to do your
work the way it ought to be done.
If your work is poorly done and the
materials used are inferior, you uOiH
be in worse shape. actually, than be-
fore you started.
We believe that We can offer you
the best dental service in the North
lVest right here at this office.
We believe this for the FOLLOWING
reasons:
Reason Number I've employ only gradu-
ate registered dentists OF the highest standing
Every one Of them has graduated from the best
dental colleges and passed the examination Of
the state dental board. Every one of them has

Reason Number 2-We have one
Of the best equipped and largest Of
fees in the United States. We oc-
cupy the entire floor on which we
are located. We spared neither time
nor expense when fitting up these
offices to give the people OF Seattle
the very best.
Reason Number 3-Sanitation is
\ hobby with US. We have much
expensive apparatus for the sterili-
zation of all instruments. All OPP

spotless white at all times.
Reason Number I'VE use the
very best materials that money can
buy. This is the only kind that we
can afford to use, inasmuch as the

out work that will give permanent
satisfaction to the patient.
Reason Number SOur prices

sible by the large volume of bust

that we can afford TO take a smaller
