AS to Declaration Of War.

There is no set form for a declara-
ton Of war and 1t has even been Qlres-
toned whether a formal declaration
Of any kind is necessary. An Ameri-
can writer on international w8r says
IAN act of hostility. unless it be done
in the urgency Of f-preservation or
by way Of reprisal is tn itself full
declaration Of intention; any sort of
previous declaration therefore Is an
empty formality unless an enemy must
be given time and opportunity to- put
himself In a state of defense, and it
is needless to say that no one asserts
such thing to be obligatory"
Formal declaration Of war preceding
the beginning Of hostilities was more
common in ancient times and in the
middle ages than in modern times. In
vestigation has shown that of 11S wars
between 100 and 1872 less than ten
showed declarations of war prior to
host1lities.

Voluntary, Not Compulsory

Yesterday was not a very nice day for motoring so it was a
comparatively easy task for everybody who owns an automobile to
save gasoline. But when it comes right down to a persons right to
use his car on Sunday, it should be borne in mind that it is a matter
for each individual to decide for himself 1t is a request that the gov
eminent has made, not a command; people should have the right to
comply with the request voluntarily without feeling that they are
under compulsion all the time. There is absolutely no authority for
fuel administrators to take it upon themselves to issue permits to
operate cars ON Sunday, neither have the police any right to stop
autoists who may be riding. 1t is well to keep these things in mind
in order TO keep the records straight.
Every loyal citizen wants to do everything possible to assist
the government in winning the war, and he likes to do so willingly
and not feel that he is being driven to do his duty all the time. That
is too much like Prussia to set well in America.
AS for the position of the fuel administration on the question of
the use Of automobiles on Sunday, the following telegram received by
State Fuel Administrator Jenkinson from Evans Wooden, director OF
the Bureau of States Organizations of the United States Fuel Ad
ministrahOn, speaks for itself.
1.-The request that pleasure motoring be discontinued on
Sundays for the present is not intended to cover a reasonable use
for necessary transportation where other means are unaval-
able. As to what constitutes necessary transportation, that must
be determined, not by the fuel administration, but by the indi-
ydual, who should bear in mind the effect of his example. |
would suggest the foregoing answer to all those who ask ex-
emphon from the Sunday motoring request, designed to conserve
gasolene" A

making for more and more demand
for their services in business, but there
is also a sign read as presaging in
crease in their "age old occupations"
the nursing Of the young and the
sick, sewing and housework. This
prophecy may concern the increase
in the American birthrate and the re-
turn of the wounded.
Honors for an American pursuit are
prognosticated. This may mean a for
eign mission.
Russia will be in turmoil for a long
time. according to astrologers, who

toward an early decisive victory for

The Emperor of Germany will not

astrologers foretell. He will have a
sudden end. they say.
The Moon between Mars and Saturn

Children born on this day will be
generous and popular, but impulsive

All Ready When Time Comes

When the first registration for the draft took place last year
There was a great deal of interest manifested In the quotas to be
hxed for the various communities. The number of men that each
town was to furnish was to be based on an estimated population.
Perth Amboy was greatly surprised when the population OF this
shy was fixed at over 10000, giving Perth Amboy a quota of 53l.
Today, when the second big registration Is about to take place,
not counting the registration of June 5 when all those who had be-
come twenty-one since the previous registration, registered, we hear
little o r nothing about the quota or the order in which the men are
to be called.
1t all goes to show that, as we get deeper and deeper In the war,
things that seemed Of utmost Importance at the outset sink into IN
significance. Today we realize that the wal has gotto be won and
that it is going to take our full strength to win. Men now know
that they have got to do their full part and will have to go when
their time comes, so there is no qubbling about quotas or the order
in which they are to be taken.
1t is now established that those with no dependents and who are
mot engaged in essential industries are to go first; if they are not
sufficient then those who have dependents will be called.
1t was to prevent calling out the men between the ages of twenty
one and thirty who have dependents and who are engaged in essen
til war work that the draft limit was extended so as to include the
full manpower Of the country.
America is in this war to the very limit of her resources and
there is not a man but who is willing to go when the authorities at
Washington say he is needed.
In the meantime, those who remain at home awaiting their turn
will do everything within their power to back up those who have gone
before. War work, either at home or at the front, is the only thing
worthy of attention now.

Register Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the first registration day this year.
If you did not vote at the general election last year you had
better go in person to the place of registration and place your name
on the roll if you desire to vote at the primary.
OF course, you an register on primary day, too, but it will be
too late then for voting at the primary election when the party nom
nations are made.
The safest thing is to register tomorrow, anyway, and then you
are sure, as you will have to register in person some time this fall If
you want to participate in the general election in November.
This year the registration places are changed. Instead ofthe
usual polling places, the registration and voting will be done in the
school houses.
The EVENING NEWS published, on Saturday, the places where
the different districts will register and vote this year. If there is a
school house in your ward that is pretty certain to be your place for
registering and voting. If there are two school houses in your ward
you are pretty safe if you go to the nearest one, although this rule
might not always hold good. To make absolutely sure consult Sat-
udrayis EVENING NEWS, or inquire of the city clerk at City Hall
The main thing is to be sure to register.
