who had lost his life in the service OF
his country somewhere in France.
1t was an occasion that brought the
stern realities Of war more closely
home to us than ever before as then
it was realized that one Warren boy
who had gone forth from here to
battle for his country will never re-
turn. and that one home in our fair
little city had been plunged into deep
est sorrow because a dear son and
brother will never again join the fam
lily circle

to the occasion by the presence of the
Home Guards of CrOOkston. They
came over in the afternoon. about fifty
strong. in twelve automobiles. to honor

date, September 5, would not be
the day for the registration of men
from 18 to As, even if congress pass
es the bill in time because several
of the largest states hold primary
elections on that date.
The provost marshal had no in
tention, it was said, OF creating
registration dates for men reaching
81 throughout the year, but the
present registration was made nee
essary by the approaching defcien-
cy of man-power.
There will be no new drawing to
establish the order of liability of
the new registrants. The provost
marshal generals office announced
tonight that the 1900 numbers
drawn for the June registrants
would be sufficient to cover the Aug
