Cass county's young men-those
who have become 81 since June s.,
registered for military service

a late hour this afternoon $50 had
registered, and more young men will
have enrolled before night.
Registration is taking place in the
district court room at the courthouse
and all day the room and anterooms
were crowded with young men and
clerks filling out the missionaries.

who are supervising the work Of fill
ing, out the questionnaires. In three
hours this morning 139 young men
had completed their registration.
All over the nation, today, Ameri-
cas- first anniversary of the mobil-
ization OF manpower, local boards
are busy registering men, and it is
estimated that a million more Amer
ican youths are on the first station
of the journey to the coIors. Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, who
is supervising the draft, estimates
that at least 70 per cent OF those
registering today will be physically
fit for general military service.
Figures available show that no
other country participating in the
great war has the actual resources
In men that the United States has.
Against the provost marshal gener
ais estimate Of 100000 for the
American military class Of 1918,
which is added to the almost 10000, q
total OF 1917, can be placed the Ger
man annual increment Of 100000, the
French OF 100000, and the italian of
$4,000. And all these classes in
other countries have been called in
advance.
Expect 5000 i'm state.
