We known that he is seriously con-

September 12, the date set for the
registration of all men up to 40
years old who are not already regis
tered under the selective draft act.
ITO my mind" said the governor,
this will be one of the greatest
days in American history, when 49,
100000 men will be registered for
war service, and 1t seems to me ap-
propriate to facilitate the great task
by declaring a holiday throughout

undertakings in the world to deter
mine the man power of this nation. "
The governor has taken the matter
up with Adjutant General Beebe,
who was in conference with the ex-
ecutive. Governor Withycombe is
in receipt of lengthy telegram from
Provost Marshal General Crowder
urging extensive publicity relative

Need Not Register
If 46 On Sept. Il

IS 46 years old on registration day,

quired to register?
This is typical of many questions
asked regarding registration require
Iaents under the new draft law.
which lowers and raises draft limits
to include all men between the ages
of Is and 40 years, both inclusive.
The answer to the foregoing ques-
tion is No A man who Is 46
years old on registration day, Sep
tember 12, does not register.
Ii, however, his birthday should
come on September 13, the day af-
'or registration day, he would have
to register, for he would then bo
within the 45 year age limit on Sep
tember 10.
Similarly, a youth who has attain
cd his 18th birthday on or before
Thursday, September 12, must reg
ister. If he is not Is years old I'M
til the noXt day, September 1S, he
does not register.
All men between the ages of Is
and 45 years, both inclusive, who
nave not already registered under
the former 2l to 80 age limits, both
inclusive, must register on registra-
tion day. The only exceptions are
men already in the military or nava!
service.
That is to say, every man who
has attained his 18th birthday on or
hefore Thursday. September IL, ami
has not attained his 46th birthday
by that date, must register unless he
mas already registered under the III
to 80 year draft law or Is in the

The well co-ordained progress OF

strike a still more disastrous blow

It appears that Marshal Foch's
plan may involve the turning of the
line on both It's llanks-at Cambrai
and Laon. In the north the British
have been for several days in a posi-
tion to deliver what might easily
prove vital stroke to the west Of
Cambrai where they have halted ar
;ne canal Du Nord and made no
move toward driving home the blow
which the logic of the situation
points to as inevitable.
To the south the armies of General
Petain have fought their way to po-
sitions where the left flank Of tho

edges of the defensive positions are
beginning to feel the effect Of tho

low the main bastlon, are standing

lied hands since 1914. Farther north
they are before La Fere, whence an
eastward drive would carry them
