ALL MALES BETWEEN Is
AND IS. MUST REGISTER
President Signs Bill and Issues
Proclamation Addressing
Nations Man Power

Washington, Aug. 31-All
men from Is to As years of age
in the continental United Stat
es, except those IN the Army
or Navy or already registered,
were summoned by President
Wilson today to register for
military service on Thursday,
September IL.
Officials in the adjutant gen.
erals office yesterday said that
there seems to be a misunder-
standing on the part of many
people concerning the age linn
it in the new man power act.
The act has been published as
requiring the registration of
all men from Is to As. This,
officials say , is inclusive. 1t
means that all persons who are
Is on registration day, up to
all persons who have not yet
reached their 10th birthday,
must register. A man who
will be 46 the day after regis
tration is not exempt.
After citing the law and
stating the regulations for reg
istration the Presidents proc
lamation read in part as fol-
lows:
Fifteen months ago the
men from Fl to 81 years of age
were registered. Three months
ago and again this month those
who had just reached the age
of FL were added. It now re-
mains to include all men be-
tween the ages of Is and As.
''This is not a new policy.
A century and a quarter ago
it was deliberately ordained
by those who were then res
ponsible for the safety and de-
Tense of the Nation that the
duty of military service should
rest upon all able bodied men
between the ages of Is and As.
We now accept and fulfill the
obligation expressed in our ma
tional statutes from that time
until now. We solemnly pur-
pose a decisive victory of arms
and deliberately to devote the
largr part of the military man
power of the nation to the ac-
complishment of that purpose.
"The younger men have
from the first been ready to go.
They have furnished voluntary
enlistments out of all proper
tons to their numbers. Our
gallant allies regard them as
having the highest combatant
qualities. Their youthful en-
thusiasm, their virile eagerness
their gallant spirit of daring
make them the admiration of
all who see them in action.
They covet not only the dis
tinction of serving in this great
war, but also the inspiring
memories which thousands of
them will cherish through the
years to come, of a great day
and a great service for their
country and for mankind.
Mr.. J. HI. Crossett will be in
charge of the registration at

lies during and after the war,
and to help returning soldiers

in the trenches by putting the
same quality Of self-sacrifice
and patriotism into their work

The funds collected will be
deposited in local banks to be

them to the State Treasurer.

WOMEN''S SEWING
CLASSES'TO Be
REORCAN||lZE|'D|| /
Classes Which Have Met in
the, Masonic Hall Will
Change Plans.

The women's sewing classes which
have during the. past summer been
meeting at the Masonic hall, under
supervision of various women in the
city, will reorganize into two classes,
according to word from authorities.
This change has been necessary since
school begins hnd the school sewing
machines which the womet have been
able to use during vacation must be
returned to the school.
The afternoon class has not been
definitely arranged, although it is
known that it will meet once a week
at. the home Of Mrs. N. j. Nelson, on
423 First street. The day and hour
will be announced later. It is desired
than anyone having a sewing machine
to donate for the course of few
weeks would notify Mrs. F. c. Massee.
The other class will meet on Tues
day evening Of each week at the Gen.
trail high school domestic science
room. The hours will be from z to 10
and as there are six sewing machines
here it is anticipated that all six of
tie machines will be kept busy. This
will necessitate a goodly crowd Of
sewers.
The women on the Point who have
organized and to whom considerable
praise is due for the unusual amount
of work they have turned in and for
the splendid sewing and knitting they
do. are also. reorganizlng and will con-
duct their classes for the winter in
the Lincoln school. The hours for
these classes have not been announce
ed as yet.
1t is anticipated by the women in
charge of these classes for the coming
winter that a new crowd begin and
help out. Since the Red Cross work
was started all work has practically
been done by the same faithful work
ers. These two new classes should in
clude every able woman in the city.

Little Fighting at Juvigny.

was not even Of tactical importance,
says the correspondent for Renters
Limited. In . dispatch from the head
quarters OF the American forces on.
the Aisne 'front.' describing the cap
ture OF Juvigny by the American
forces. Continuing. the dispatch
There was very little fighting done
in Juvigny itself but in the neighbor-
ing valleys where the fighting re-
solved itself into general infantry
work. wood craft and ground craft
proved invaluable to the Americans.
They were most men Of the open air
with Keen eyes and an appreciation of
the country and in the branching
tumble Of ravines they outpointed the
Germans in working their way
through without losing touch with
their own line or being enveloped by
the enemy. It was in consequence Of
their craft and good shooting that the
American captures reached such q
high figure. $50 Germans being
cleverly rounded up. :,
It was the 104th German regiment
that tried to bar the way Of the
ment have nothing for which to re-
proach themselves. They left many
dead in those dark valleys and only
surrendered when there was no other
option.
The enemy's measures to hold this
plateau proved how seriously he must
have regarded its loss. The seventh
and eleventh reserve divisions SEEM
ed to have been the normal occupants
OF the line but as they began to suffer
three other divisions were hurried up
to reinforce them. One regiment, the
227th marched 14O miles. !.
Shortly after dawn Sunday morn
ing when the Americans advance re-
commenced, 1t became plain that the
enemy's resistance was broken and
that he had decided that the plateau
could not be held. Even then it
seemed for a short time as II the
Americans might have to pay dear for
what was left of the valley but the
men showed even greater determine
ton than on the day before and after
four hours. during which there was
no forward movement possible. more
cheerful news began to come to the
by the French on the right and
eventually a practically impossible
position was created for the Germans
who were still trying to cling to the
Soissons-St. Quentin road. Before
noon the struggle, which had given
the Americans five strenuous days
reached a point where one could
breathe freely. For all tactical pur-
poses of the future the Juvigny
plateau may be considered the Allies
position.
