WESTERLY

Plans are complete for the reg;stra- tion for the draft Thursday and will be accomplished at nearly 200 regis tration places designated for practical ly every voting district throughout the state. Registrars have been appointed, materials such as registration cards and other enrolment parapfernalia have been distributed among these registfa ton places. The entire regis tration will not cost the government anything, as only volunteer service of registrars and assistants will be fur | nished.
 | .tThe request that questionnaires be given resistrantss at time of enrollnent has been denied Captain George H. | Webb, director of the draft for Rhode l Island s- General Crowder wires that | the plan to circulate questionnaires at | the time of registration, while both time and labor saving method. is not practicable unless done universally. Rhode Islanders registering outside the 1 state, for instance, would. receive none l and the documents would have to be l mailed to them. This would create confusion and perhaps oversights.
 Westerly is interested in the official announcement, made Monday, that American citizens in England who ap- ply there for enlistment. and are re- iected are to be placed in Class of the draft in this country, upon receipt | by their local boards of copies of their examination papers. Local boards will hereafter allow registrants in France and England an opportunity to volun- tarily join the American expeditionary forces overseas before inducting them into the national army.

to "Pershing and our heroes in
France We wish to direct our

ular paragraph Of Mr.. McAdoo S

every dollar saved now and

How can any one more certainly
make money than by saving it
now. with assurance Of its enOrm-
Gus enhancement in value when

Mr.. McAdoo's advice is sound,
and it is certain that holders of

chasing power of money now that

only few miles. The traffic or
all roads is something wonderful
For miles and miles, as far as one
cam see, there are streams of big
auto trucks, all on their way to

day, hauling ammunitions. ra
tons, supplies. etc. They are al.
ways going forward with all OF
the shells that they can haul. The
cry is forever ahead, forward, on,
on, on, on to Berlin! The drivers
take their turns at the wheels,
the one relieved sleeping on the
seat while the other one
drives his precious load towards
the big guns. Hand it to the boys
on the big trucks! They are the

human nature; we can never out
