The Secretary of War Authorizes
the Following:

With the signing by President Will
son of the bill and proclamation de-
signing Wednesday. June 5th, as the
day on which all men who have reach.

shall REGISTER for military service.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder's Of
fee Immediately began preparations
for the enrolment of the men. In
stead of using the election machinery
rs was done last year. Gen. Crowder
will call upon the local boards. 1t is
believed that their experience during
the past year has peculiarly fitted
them to handle the new registration
economically and efficiently.
Gen. Crowler has estimated that
probably three-quarters of . million
men will be added to the American
army by the new registration. His
estimate is based on the fact that al
most 10000 ZOO men registered last
year. This number included all be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81. and sta
tistics collected by Gen. Crowder's
Office show that . little more than 10
per cent. of these men were 81 years
old. On that basis it is estimated by
draft officials 9hat the total registra-
ton will exceed ,OO0. 900. of which
10000 will be available for mill
allowance for physical detectives, ex-
emptions because of dependents and
other bars to military service.
The law provides that every young
man in the United States who has
reached the age OF 81 years since June
S, 1917. or will leach that sge on or
before June s. 1918. must register.
The only exceptions are in the cases
of men who are actually in active
military or naval service. All male
persons. citizens or aliens, born be-
tween June 9Th. 1896, and June

been caused by the publication OF re-

Crowder has issued the following

waging war OF conquest and its
victims have been enslaved and ex-
plotted" Deputy Geyer, independent
socialist, asserted recently in a
Reichstag speech. according to the

This has never been "a defensive
war;" Geyer said. 1T was and is a
war of conquest.
The Imperial government he
continued, lis favoring the annexa-
tionlsts. Russia and Roumania have
been forced to sign a peace of force.
The peoples which were to be freed
have been enslaved and exploited.
The government thus far has not
proclaimed the right OF Belgium TO
independence. and political, military
and economic integrity.
THE war goes on and the end is
not in sight. Profiteering and lust
of conquest are holding nauseating
orgies while the people are suffer

ever it is imperative that all peoples
free themselves from the forced
domination of militarism.

State TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION IS

Decision by Judge Welsh at
Wayne Says Branches Are
Not Allowable Under
Its Rules.

Wayne, Neb.. Sept. 2l.-(Special
Telegram } - Teachers conven-
tons at Alliance or Hastings
may not use the name, funds
or membership privileges Of the
Nebraska State Teachers associa-
ton, according to decision
reached by Judge A. A. Welsh, in
district court at hearing in cham
bers in Wayne today.
The prosecution, instituted by
Supt. J. A. True of McCook, con-
tended that the executive committee
expected to divide the association
in disregard of the constitution,
which requires at conventions the
membership to be of the association
as a whole.
Prof. F. M. Gregg of Peru, presi-
dent of the association, and Prof. A.
V. iced of Wayne State normal,
declared their action was not un-
constitutional, inasmuch as recog-
milton of the Hastings and Alliance
groups as auxiliary sections Of the
state organization did not violate
the fundamental purpose of the con-
stitution. They stressed the fact
that the annual convention is at
tended mainly by teachers OF the
eastern one-third of the state.
The officers, they stated, acted in
the interests of the teachers at large.
Attorney A. R. Davis of Wayne
represented the defense, and At
torney Wertz of Schuyler the prose-
cution.
Despite sustaining of the injunc-
ton against the executive commit
tee, meetings at Alliance and Has
tings will be held in accordance with
present plans, which action will re-
suit in divided rather than united
associations in Nebraska.
