halls and other places where people
were assembled, including moving
picture houses.
Sealed copies of the message had
been distributed to the managers OF
all these places, with the request
that they open and read it at .
O'Clock.
The message follows:
ssThe message which / send to
the people of the British Empire on
the fourth anniversary of the entry
into the war is Hold fast
I'VE are in this war for no selfish
ends. We are in it to recover free
dom for the nations which have been
brutality attacked and despoiled, and
to prove that no people, however
powerful, can surrender itself 10
the lawless ambition of militarism
without meeting retribution, swift,
certain and disastrous, at the hands
of the free nations OF the world.
To stop short of victory for this
cause would be to compromise the
future of mankind
Il say hold fast because our pros
poets of victory have never been SO
bright as they are today. Six months
ago the rulers of Germany deliberate.
" rejected the just and reasonable
settlement proposed by the allies.
Throwing aside the last mask OF
moderation they partitioned Russia,
enslaved Roumania, and attempted
TO seize supreme power, by over
throwing the allies in final and
desperate attack. Thanks to the IN
vincible bravery of all the allied
armies. it is now evident to all that
this dream of universal conquest, for
the sake of which they wantonly
prolonged the war, can never be full
filled.
but the battle is not yet won.
The great autocracy of Prussia will
still endeavor, by violence, or guile,
to avoid defeat and so give militar-
ism a new lease of life. We cannot
seek to escape the horrors of war
for ourselves by laying them up for
our children. Having set our hands
to the task. we must see it through
till just and lasting settlement is
achieved.
I'm no other way can we endure
8 world set free from war.

GEN. cRoWoER SUGGESTS SEP
TEMPER S AS REGISTRATION
pAy-WILL PASS BILL BY SEP
TENDER I.

Washington, Aug, 5.-The new adj
ministration man power bill. extend
ing the selective service act to all
men between the ages Of Is and As
inclusive, and authorizing the presi-
dent to call such persons into mill
tary service "in such sequence of
ages and at such times" as he may
prescribe, was introduced today in
both houses of congress.
The measure. which was prepared
today by Secretary Baker. with the
approval of the President and Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder. was
referred to the military committees.
Congressional leaders flan to have
the measure considered soon after
the summer recess period is over
the latter part of this month.
In presenting the bill to the sen
ate, Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military committee explained
In brief statement its purposes and
gave assurance that everything would
be done to expedite its passage.
While senate leaders admit that
there will be some opposition. they
hope that 1t viii be finally passed
by September 1.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
in statement submitted by Senat-
or Chamberlain suggested Septem-
Der as the date for a national
registration OF men within the pro-
posed new ages.
Weekly registration OF youths at
tanning the age of 81 during the next
few weeks was proposed by Gen.
Crowder as the only means OF obtain
ing the 20e,oee men to be called TO
the colors in September This could
be done by presidential proclamation
and would add about 10000 10 the
number of men avilable
Senator Chamberlain said the com
mittee had been called to meet to-
morrow to begin consideration OF
the bill. and that he hopes to report
1t out within few days.
Senators Curtis OF Kansas and
Jones OF Washington announced that
they were in favor of summing a
quorum OF the senate so the bill
can be taken up Immediately. after
1t has been acted upon by the com.
mittee. The suggestion was APPROX
ed by Senator Chamberlain, who
said if q quorum was available he
would like to see the senate recon
yened.
Senator Chamberlain also present
ed communication from the secre-
tary OF war showing the number OF
men affected by the bin. According
to these figures, 2,3sS,000 men be-
tween the ages of is and 20, inclu-
sive, and 80 and As inclusive. would
be subject TO military service.
Chairman Dent of the house com
mittee said that he had no immediate
plans to expedite it as much as pos
sible. He added that with only
three members OF the committee now
in the city, it was doubtful IL the
committee could be called together
before the house reassembles on
August 10. The committee will have
hearings. but they probably win be
