respective communities, having assumed at home the
graver responsibilities of life in many spheres look
ing back upon honorable records in civil and indus
trial life they will realize perhaps no others
could how entirely their fortunes and the for
tunes of all whom they love put at stake IN this
war for right and will know that the very records
they have made render this new duty the command
ing duty of their lives. They know how surely this
is the nations war; how mperatively it demands the
mobilization and massing of all resources Of
every kind. They will regard this call as the su-
preme call of their day and will answer it accord
ingly.
Only portion of those who register will be called
upon to bear arms Those who not physically
fit will be excused; those exempted by alien alegi
ance those who should not be relieved of their pres
ent responsibilities; above ALL those who not
be spared from the civil and industrial tasks at
home upon which the success of our armies depends
as much as upon the fighting at the front. But all
must be registered in order that the selection for
military service may be made ntelligently and with
full information. This will be our final demonstra-
ton of loyalty, democracy and the will to win,
solemn notice to all the world that we stand abso-
lutely together in common resolution and purpose.
1t is the call to duty to which every true man in the
country will respond with pride and with the con-
sciousness that in doing so he plays his part in
vindication of great cause at whose summons every
true heart offers its supreme service.

SULTAN GOING
TO SEE KAISER

The Sultan Of Turkey is going to
Berlin shortly for a conference with
the Kaiser, an entente dispatch an
nounces.
Diplomats here believe that Turkish
fears Of the allied military penetra-
tion in southeastern Russia are the
principal cause OF the coming meeting
Difficulties between Bulgaria and
Turkey also will be taken up by the
Sultan and the Kaiser, in the opinion
OF diplomats.
Entente military men here recalled
today that Turkey has having her
own way in the Caucasus after the
downfall OF Russia. and that the news
OF the entente decision to intervene in
Russia was followed by the hasty
British landing at Baku, were received
with much dismay at Constantinople
1t is held not unlikely that the Sui
tan VIII ask direct aid of Germany in
holding up the Turkish end of the
Berlin orBagdad aspirations.
1t is announced that the Sultan will
make his visit on the return of the
special mission sent to Berlin and
Vienna to announce his accession to
the throne. 1t is suggested that he
will also confer with Emperor Charles

On the other hand, the great ma

that Ludendorn Is compelling Foch

. Neutral military critics are Of the
opinion, the cables state, that Foch's
victory is as great, II not greater,
than Hindenberg's spring successes
They point out that, although he has
not broken the German line. he has
saved Paris and the Channel ports
and has accomplished the preparatory
movements to the launching Of q de-

phasizes the fact that these two OBJ

MARTIAL LAW FOR
MOST OF GERMANY

The greater portion OF Germany is
now under military dictatorship. ac-
cording to an entente cable based on
Wolff agency dispatch. The dis
patch refers to new orders for the
military police under General Won
Lingingen, whose authority extends, il
is stated, from the Marshlands OF
Brandenburg to the town of Berlin"
The orders are drastic in nature and
indicate the veracity of neutral re-
ports of lawlessness in Berlin and
other formerly law-abiding German
cities and communities.
Won Lingingen's order grants to all
the military police force the right to
exercise and to fulfill Herewith the
functions in the interior OF the dis
trict and to fulfiIl Herewith the func-
tions of the staff OF the police and the

The Washington times., 1918-09-01

Fifteen months ago the men of the country from
twenty-one to thirtyone years of age register
ed Three months ago, and again last month, those
who had just reached the age of twenty-one were
added. 1t remains to include all men between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-ive.
This is not a new policy. A century and quar-
ter ago it was deliberately ordained by those who
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
eighteen and forty-fve. We now accept and fulfill
the obligation which they established, an obligation
expressed in national statutes from that time
until now. We solemnly purpose decisive victory
Of arms and deliberately to devote the larger part
Of the military man power of the nation to the &C.
complishmeht of that purpose. E.
The younger men have from the first been ready
to go. They have furnished voluntary enstments
out of all proportion to their numbers Our military
authorities regard them having the highest COM
batant qualities. Their youthful enthusiasm, their
vire 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 inspiring memories which
hundreds of thousands Of them will cherish through
the years to come, of great day and great service
for their country and for mankind
By the men of the older group now called upon
the opportunity opened to them will be accepted
with the calm resolution of those who realize to the
full the deep and solemn significance of what they
do. Having made place for themselves in their
