keiIoss's Appeal TO Register.
| As to the Importance of registra-
ton, G. w. Kellogg. manager OF the
Mississippi River Power company,
submits the following reasons:
In the first place. let very one OF
US within the new draft ages register
voluntarily and on the date set by
the president. While the law pro-
vides a Jail sentence up to one year,
with registration thereafter, for all
who fail to register on the date set
by the president, yet, as loyal Anerf-
cans. we don't want any such COM
pulsion to have to be used on US.
The glory of our nation in this war
has been the wonderful things like
Liberty loans, food saving, Red Cross
and other similar subscriptions that
have been the voluntary acts OF a
great nation, aroused and in earnest
Let us therefore, by our promptness
and willingness, make the regfstra-
ton on September IL one more 100
per cent success in this war.
Why is the Draft Necessary?
Our country wants to put 100000
more men into France by June 30,
1919. We are confident that to do
so Will bring crushing defeat to Ger
many by the end OF 1919. Speed is
the very essence of this huge task
to get our millions into the fight
while the Germans are still Keeling
from previous blows The govern
lnent wants to get this 100000 men
with the minimum weakening OF the
home lines and Of the industries
which are needed to support the
fighting men, and the only way this
can be done is by the extension of
the draft ages that has been decided
upon
4 Finally, let US not forget the effect
on German morale of the 1900 900
men within the new ages stepping
up on one day and saying, II am
ready to go to the front in any ca
lpacity that my country asks" This
new registration, together with the
first draft of men between 81 and
81, viii make total of nearly 49,
600, 900 men registered for the coun-
try's needs II the last thirteen mil
lion OF this twenty-three million come
forward on the appointed day. Just
think of it's depressing effect on Ger
man morale and the corresponding
encouragement to our allies and our
men now at the 'front.'
For this war is one OF moral IS
sues. The autocrats OF Germany
have said that democracy is morgan
lied, inefficient and ineffective. We
believe in democracy. We have thou
sands of times pledged our devotion
to our democracy. We know this
life would not be worth living IL
Germany is not crushed. Now is the
time to prove our loyalty by deeds
and TO show by the cherfulness and
unanimtty with which we go into
registration day that the imputation
of ineffciency is simply another OF
the series Of blunders which will lose
/ this war to Germany. But remem-
or that the way to make September
liz red letter day In our history is
/ for each man affected to do his share
promptly and freely
