llDeTCaely QeVOCc Cno larger part
Of the military man power Of the
nation to the accomplishment Of
that purpose.
"The younger men have from
the first been ready to go. They
have furnished voluntary enlist
ments out ofall proportion to their
numbers. Our military authori-
ties regard them as having the
highest combatant qualities.
Their youthful enthusiasm, their
virile eagerness, their gallant
spirit of daring make them the
admiration Of all who see them in
action. They covet not only the
distinction Of serving in this
great war, but also the inspiration
memories which hundreds Of
thousands Of them will cherish
through the years to come of a
great day and q great service for
their country and for mankind.
by the men, Of the older group
now called upon, the opportunity
now opened to them will be &C
cepted with the calm resolution
of those who realize to the full
the deep and solemn significance
of what they do. Having made a
place for themselves in their com.
munities, having assumed at home
the graver responsibilities Of life
in many spheres, looking back up
on honorable records in civil and
industrial life, they will realize
as perhaps no others could, how
entirely their own fortunes and
the fortunes of all whom they love
are put at stake in this war for
right, and will know that the very
records they have made render
their new duty the commanding
duty Of their lives. They know
how surely this is the nations
war, how imperatively it demands
the mobilization and massing Of
all our resources of every kind.
They will regard this call as their
day and will answer it according
ly.

FORECASTS VICTORY.
Manpower Of America Is Pledged
Ito Crush Huns.

Nearly 13,OOO,OO0,OOO Ameri-
cans between 18 and 20 years of
age and between 32 and 45 were
called upon Saturday by Presi-
dent Wilson to register Thursday,
September IL for the draft, fol-
lowing his signing of the man
power bill.
In issuing his proclamation, the
President declared that 1--WE sol
emnly purpose decisive victory
of arms and deliberately to devote
the large part Of the military
man-power of the nation to the
accomplishment of that pur-
pose."
This was taken as his final an
swer to German peace feelers-
an answer that means there will
be no negotiated peace" until
German militarism is crushed
once for all.
Of the younger men already
gone to service, President Wilson
declared they had shown a
youthful enthusiasm" virile
eagerness and gallant spirit"
For the older men, he added, ''the
opportunity now opened to them
will be accepted with the calm
resolution of those who realize to
the full the deep and solemn sig
nificance of what they do"
"They know how surely this is
the nations war; he said, chow
imperatively it demands the mob
ilization and massing Of all our
resources of every kind. They
will regard this call as the SUI
preme call of their day and will
answer it accordingly"
His proclamation provided that
registration booths should be O.
pened from z a.. m. to 8 p. m., and
that all within the ages should
register except those already in
the service.
"Only portion of those who
register will be called upon to
bear arms" he said. Others
needed in war work and exempt
for other reasons will not be ask
ed to fight.
At the same time, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder issued list

Of state quotas, showing that the
total estimated registration will
be 12,778,758.
Industrial furloughs" are be-
ing planned in connection with
the second draft. In q way, this
will serve as an anti-strike anti
dote.
AS now proposed, representa-
tives Of the labor and agricultural
departments will sit with district
boards to help Judge exemption
claims. In some cases, labor may
be inducted into the service, but
it is essential to the war indus
tries, it will be furloughed, and
sent back to factories, where it
can remain as long as it works
properly, but it can be seen that
the furlough can be ended and
the man sent back to the army if
he slacks on the job.
The prevailing rate of pay will
be given men thus furloughed and
they will not be subject to army
pay as long as they stay at their
industrial tasks. This is held to
be fair system, which, while it
may be interpreted by some as
conscription of labor, still gives
it every latitude as long as labor
is loyal.
After citing the law and stat
ing the regulations for registra-
tion the Presidents proclamation
reads as follows
Fifteen months ago the men of
the country from twenty-one to
thirty. one years of age were reg
istered. Three months ago and a.
gain last month, those who have
just reached the age Of 21 were
added. It now remains to include
all men between the ages of 18
and as.
"This is not a new policy. A
century and q quarter ago it was
deliberately ordained by those
who were then responsible for the
safety and defense of the nation
that the duty Of military service
should rest upon all able bodied
men between the ages of 18 and
45. We now accept and fulfill the
obligation which they establish
ed, an obligation expressed in our
national statutes from that time
until now. We solemnly purpose
a decisive victory Of arms and de-

 The rule governing this case is found in the official baseball code under rule 56, section 15; which rea,ls: "The base runner is out: if with one or no one out and a base funner on third base, the batsman interferes with play being made at the home plate."
 With the runner out as the result of the interference, the situation after the play is as follows there are still three men on bases; oue ou: and the player who drove out tue alleged home run comes to bat in regular turn. his illegal hitting O. the ball having resulted in putting out the base runner without affecting his status as batsman. A some. what similar case is quoted in Um. pire Billy Evans book on umprins and the answer is ill accodance with the foregoing rule.
