istratiOn of Eligibles Just
Reaching Age of Il.
President Wilson Monday sign
ed the new Selective Draft bill
and issued the necessary procla-
nation designating June 5 as the
day when all young men who
have reached the age of 81 years
since June 5, 1917, shall register
for military service.
Instead of using the election
machinery, as was done last
year, General Crowder will call
on the local draft boards to con-
duct the registration. He believ-
es that their experience during
the the last year has qualified
them to handle the registration
economically and effectively. I'm
der the new law it will be neces-
sary that on June 5 every young
man in the United States who
has reached the age of 81 since
June 5, 1917, or who will reach
that age on or before June s.,
1918, shall register. Exceptions
are made in the cases Of men al
ready in the naval or military
service.
The new law provides that the
21-year old man registered on
June 5 of this year shall be plac-
ed at the bottom of the list in
the several classes to which they
are assigned, and as a result
none of the new registrants will
be called for military service UNI
til the list Of Glass / men who
registered on June 5 of last yea'
is exhausted. 1t will mean, how.
ever, that the men registered
this year who are placed in Class
/ will be called before any mel
in Class 2 are called, regardless!
of the date of registration.
Failure to register constitute
a m%isdemeahor punishable b,
Imprisonment for one year.
may result, furthermore, in tn
loss of valuable rights and priv
ileges, and immediate inductio
into military service.
s. The new registration, it is e,
pected, will add about 10000
e men to the number who may

Columbia, Ohio, Jan. 22.-"The yio-
lent partisan attack rends that unity
which has made possible everything
the president has asked; it will not
be so fror now on," declared United
States Sel ttor Warren G. Harding,
referring 10 Senator Stones political
speech yesterday, in a statement given
out here today at a meeting of the
Republican State central and adyis-
ory committee.
About Senator stone? His is
worse than tactical blunder. He op-
posed armed shipping legislation and
was hardly in position to raise a oues-
ton Of opposition. From q patriotic
viewpoint. think he has made a sor-
ry mistake. From n partisan view
point I welcome the assault. He has
uttered his alleged indictment. Mo-
body can deny the Republicans a de-
fense. Up 10 Monday Republicans in
the senate indeed in both branches,
have submerged partisan views and
surrendered well cherished ideals of
legislation 10 support the administra-
ton and TO most fully support the ma
ton. The violent partisan attack
rcnds that unity which has made pos
sible everything the president has
. asked. 1t will not be so from this
time on. / can speak only for myself.
but l hear Republicans will hereafter
support all war measures necessary
but will question extraordinary and
unprecedented grants of power There
will be criticisms, not partisan, but
patriotic. Inefficiency and incapac-
ity will be pointed out and correction
sought. No public official will dwell
in sanctity hereafter because he is a
part of the administration. Country
first. Win the war! Save the re-
public! Republicans will concentrate
themselves 10 such a public service
and criticise. oppose or support as
their patriotic duties compel. This is
not one party, or a one man war.
This is the supreme trial of American
people.

He commands highest esteem on both

Lumbermen and Road Builders Want.
cd for Immediate Service by Gen.
Pershing.

Washington, Jan. 21.-So urgent is
the need for lumbermen and road
builders for immediate service in
France that the war department has
made an exception to it's previous rul-
ing. and will now allow experienced
men Of draft age to enlist, under GER
tain conditions.
Any man between eighteen and
forty one years Of age, who is qualified
physically and by experience, may en-
list for this service; but they must
obtain permission to do SO from Major
c. L. Clarke, Chief Engineers Office,
War Department, Washington, d. c..
by mail or telegraph. The men re-
quired will be sent TO France as soon
as they are assembled, without being
held here for military training.
Tremendous quantities Of lumber
are required by the American troops
in France. A special regiment, known
as the Goth Engineers, is being re-
cruited to cut timber in the forests Of
France and manufacture it into lum-
Der. This regiment will include ex-
rerienced men of every class required
in lumber camp operations.
The Goth Engineers needs imme-
diately 1000 woodsmen, sawmill men,
machinists and others who have work
ed at numbering. 1t also needs g.
600 men who have worked at road
building. These men are to construct
roads from the woods to the mills and
from the mills to the distributing de-
pots. In connection with both the
numbering and road-building opera
tions complete crews of men expert
enced in the great variety Of machin-
cry used and in the camp and repair
