The cheerful invitation OF Sergeant

fill out the registration cards at the
office has caused the members and
their assistants to flock to the booth
and flood the office. Although It is
not known whether the members will
be allowed to fight as yet, several
have asked the clerks in charge to

waived exemption. The registrants
are following the same procedure
which is followed at the Office Of

LAND AMERICAN FORCE
AT ARCHANGEL, RUSSIA
Gen. March Withholds Identity and
Strength of Units.

The War Department announced
last night that American troops had
been landed at Archsngel in RUsEis.
In making the announcement Gen.
March, Chief Of Stan, declined TO dis
close the identity OF the units or the
number OF troops landed.
Officials here regard the arrival OF
American troops at ArchanCel as very
timely in view OF the announcement
made yesterday by the State Depart
ment OF the new treaty Of alliance
between Germany and the Bolsheviki
TO resist the advance Of allied troops
into Russian territory.
So far as known here onSy a small
allied force was at and near Arch
angel. principally at Kola- Although
not officially announced it is believed
here that, as in the case of Nladivo-
stok. not more than a few thousand
men have been transported 10 Russia.
The main purpose Of the govern
ment In sending infantry to the north
ern part OF Russia Is to cooperate
with the French and English govern
ments in establishing a stable form
! OF government around which the pa
triotic people OF Russia opposed TO
the Bolsheviki and the irresponsible
elements could concentrate. The pur-
pose OF the allies and OF the United
States has been successful so far.

Business Men Will Meet

To apprise the business interests Of
Washington of the requirements Of
the new draft regulations the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton will hold a special meeting FRI
day afternoon at 2:3o o'clock in the
Star Building.
The effect OF the new draft rules
will be exemplified in a thoroughly
practical manner at the meeting Fri
day afternoon and at o'clock that
evening the credit section of the as
sociation will meet to plan for the
problems that the war has brought in
that department.
by all means have your house

representative a. the special meeting
Friday afternoon" reads the call.
THE business problem is greater at
the National Capital than at any
other point. and it is OF the utmost
importance that the merchants OF
Washington should be apprised OF the
demands that are to be made upon
them in man power and to set their
houses in order SO that the needs OF
the nation can be met promptly. The
labor problem is even now most acute
and requires patience and good will
between the merchant and his Gus
toner.
Business in Washington has gone
beyond the point OF competition; the
only form OF competition that mer-
chants can practice now is that OF
zeal in service to the big cause.

the details OF the new draft as they

WILSON ASKED
TO END STRIKE
to Adjust Labor
Difficulties in Bridge
port District.

President Wilson has been asked to
take action TO end the Bridgeport
machinists' strike. The appeal /.
made Jointly by the War Department,
the Labor Department and the War
Labor Board. Necessity of action re.
suits from a stoppage OF war mater
ial and munition production in the
great Bridgeport munltion district.
The President has not indicated II
he viii act, nor how; but should he
intervene it would settle the policy
of the administration in handling
strikes In war. industries during the
war. 1t has been the desire Of the
administration to avoid drafting la
Dor. but the President is firm. that
needed war material production must
be had.
Appealed to Loan Board.
In this case. the men appealed TO
the War Labor Board for relief from
working conditions. The War Labor
Board was unable to agree and the
matter was referred to an umpire, who
granted the right to organize an
eight-hour day. equal pay for equal
work, abolished the black list and
established minimum wage. which
was a decided increase. The umpire
refused to reclassify the machiuists
into complicated classification ac-
cording to the particular work done
by each. but provided for committees
In each shop on which employer and
employees were to be represented and
which were to have authority 20 make
such reclassification. Then an appeal
board representing all the employers
of the district and all the employees
with a representative OF the Secre-
tary OF War as chairman was set up.
The plan was regarded by the War
Labor Board as an ideal Industrial
democracy.
Angered because the umpire did
not reclassify them, several thousand
of the 5000 men affected at once
walked out on strike. The number
out has steadily grown until the con-
dition Is a menace TO the munition
production. VIM. II. Johnston. presi-
dent OF the International Association
OF Machinists, refused to authorize
the strike and has now telegraphed
| the leaders of the local unions that
his executive board will withdraw the
union membership from all strikers
who are not back at work by Friday
morning. He instructs them to try
out the plan OF the umpire, and II Il
will not work. re-appeal to the Ma
| tional War Labor Board.

Statement by Crowder
Issued to Nation.

On the eve Of Registration Day Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder last
night issued this final statement to
the men who are to enroll themselves
ION the nations man-power roster to-
day:
Upon every man between the ages
OF IS and 10 years, both inclusive, not
heretofore registered or not already
in active military and naval service.
rests the obligation to register today
CThursday. September 19.
Through this registration II Is pro-
posed to enroll the names OF approx
mately 100000 men not heretofore
subject to draft.
This task completed, America
will have taken a census OF its
available man power. With this en-
rollment, and the registrations Of
June 5. 1917, June 8, 1918, and Au-
gust "a, 1918. we shall have placed
in this reservoir the names OF ap-
proximately 23,400,000 men. From
those we select, choosing for the
army those best suited, physically
and by circumstance, for the field
Of battle. and classifying those re-
naming in accordance with the ex-
tent to which their energies are
needed for the support OF the nation
at home and the maintenance Of the
military establishment. 1t is thus
that we must proceed II we are
most effectively to distribute the
energies OF our people for the su-
preme task Of winning the war.
The obligation resting upon the
individual this day Is clear-cut and
not to be mistaken. The patriotism
and the honor OF our manhood furnish
the main reliance of the nation at
this hour. Patriots will not fail to
respond. Slackers must respond. For
those who would evade their ohiga-
tion the law provides punishment
swift and certain. A years fmprison-
ment faces the man who evades regis
tration. And no man can buy his
escape from this penalty through pay
ment Of a fine.

Is Called for.

President Wilson yesterday called
VIII Hays, chairman of the Republic
an National Committee, to account
for q statement attributed TO him In
the Topeka Capital, a Kansas news
paper. under date of September
He directed Joseph P. Tumulty, his
secretary to send the following tels-
gram to Mr.. Hays:
Hon. Will Hays. Indianapolis, Ind.
"On Thursday, September D, 1918
the Topeka Capital, published at To-
peka, Kansas. quotes you as having
made the following statement to the
thirty-one State Republican chair
men. who met with you in Chicago
on September 2:
The democratic leaders at Wash
ington would not stop at anything
that they believed would insure the
reelection Of a democratic Congress
this fall, and a Democratic President
two years hence. They would even
end the war with any kind Of a COM
promise IL that would insure the con-
tinuancs Of the Democratic party in
power
Il shall be obliged II you will let
me know If this is a correct state
rnent Of your remarks.

IT. P. Tumulty."
BY a coincidence Mr.. Hays was In
this city yesterday. and although
the text Of Mr.. Tumulty's telegram
lSas read to him, he declined to give
"a tnswer. He issued the follow
lrs brief statement:
y have not received the letter

ets- sed indeed to receive 1t and
rraa be very glad to reply both as

clared. and added: "Out OF courtesy
TO Mr.. Tumulty, you know"
Mr.. Hays knew OF Mr.. Tumulty's
request for information yesterday
morning. but he chose to wait until
the telegram, originally directed to
Indianapolis. was re-directed to
him at Washington. Meantime,
yesterday afternoon, he was in con-
lcEtnCs WIN HcpEcsNhNaAANU ECssi
chairman OF the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. and other Re-
publican members Of Congress out
lining plans for the oncoming cam
paign.
The President, It Is known. constd-
ers the printed interview, II true, n
direct charge against not only mem
bers Of his administration, but him
self The reason Is mat It carries
the imputation that the Democratic
party would sacrifice anything, in
Guiding the country, in a renegade
peace pact, to perpetuate itself in
power. Such a charge is most grave.
and its gravity IS reflected in the
prompt action taken by the President
to establish its accuracy.
Mr. Tumulty's telegram was made
public at the White House yesterday
morning. but there was no ampliica-
ton of it throughout the day. The
President, It Is understood, is con-
tent. for the present, to let the mes
ge speak for itself.
