UNDER THE MAN-P0WER LAW

Washington, August 31.-Presi-
dent Wilson today signed the man
power act bringing all men in the
United States from Is to 45 years
of age within the army draft, and
Immediately afterward he issued a
proclamation fixing Thursday, Sep
tember IL, as registration day.
Ina proclamation issued immedi-
ately after he signed the new man
power bill authorizing extension of
2l-3l draft ages, the President call
ed on the younger and older men
to enroll on that day with local
draft boards where they make
their permanent homes
"We solemnly purpose decisive
victory of arms" said the Presi-
dent, "and deliberately to devote
the larger part of the military man
power of the Nation to the accom-
plishment of that purpose. +"
1t is call to duty to which
every true man in the country will
respond with pride aud with the
consciousness that in doing SO he,
plays his part in vindication of a.
great cause at whose summons
every true heart offers in supreme
service"
The hours of registration will be
from a. m. to 8 p. m., and all
State and local officials are called
on to make immediate arrange
ments for maintenance of registra-
tion places on that day.
All men within the new ages,
whether citizens of the United
States or not, must register unless
they are diplomatic or consular
representatives of foreign nations.
1t is essential that the people
of Benton County shall accord the
fullest measure of cooperation and
assistance in carrying out and en-
forcing allthe rules and regulations
governing the present registration
especially in view of the fact that
ignorance of the law and the regu-
lations issued by the proper auth
critics, is no excuse or Justification
for violation or failure to observe
the same and the failure to regis
ter is penalty Of one years inn
prisonment and no registrant can
exonerate himself by the payment
of fine.

A Tribute From Soldier Boys.

Camp Cody, n. NJ, Nov. 8, 1918. Il
Dear Mr.. Prowse:
The last issue Of the Princeton
Union was received yesterday and, to
my surprise and great sorrow, read
Of the passing away Of our dear old
friend, Senator Bob Dunn.
There are few Of us old Company
G boys from Princeton here who want
to express our sympathy for the rel
atives and friends Of our late Senator.
We, as soldiers, know the loss Of our
dear friend in this present crisis, and
will miss the warm welcome and
hearty handshake on our return home
after the war is over. Senator Dunn
was always ready to help anyone il,
need, and in the eyes Of the soldier
boys was a very generous supporter,
and as loyal American citizen was
100 per cent. We wish to express our
sympathy to the Dunn family in their
great hour Of sorrow.

Good Advice.

In this time of sorrow and joy it
behooves us to listen to wise council.
We were glad to hear the words spoken
by Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan to our people
last Monday, and to see the kindly
way in which they were received. I
think many others who were not there
ought to have heard the message. A
few Of his points, if I caught his
thought, were:
Those who do not like our institu-
tons land our ways Of doing let them
go back to the land from whence they
came. .a
# "No more Swedish Americans, no
more Norwegian Americans, no more
German Americans, but America for
Americans.
I'VE today can let pandemonium
run loose, but don't let us do anything
through the power of hate"
It will be we'll for us to ponder over
these words.
There is a lot for us to do if Amer
lea is to be for Americans. Perhaps
we all have different ideas in regard to
how it is to be made so, and will give
varied suggestions.
Whatever we do in justice must be
tempered with mercy. We are told
that to put bad man into heaven
where all are good would be hell for
him. In justice to the good and in
mercy to the bad he should be removed
and placed among his own kind.
In America this war has taught us
that there are many who do not feel
at home here. They do not like our
institutions. They do not like our
ways. They do not like our form of
government. There is only one thing.
they do like that is American and that
is the dollar. What should be done
with them?
In justice to the boys who have.
fought, bled and died, to ourselves,
and in mercy to them, they should be.
sent to their beloved fatherlands across
the sea.
Every congressman and senator in
the United States should be requested
by his people to see to it that those
people are helped to reach the home
land which they love so well. We will
not be bestowing upon them any great
favor perhaps, but we will be doing our
christian duty America for Ameri-
cans" should be our slogan.

TELL OF ENEMY's APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind Of Sentinels That an 7.
Army Can Employ.

a wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most in the battle zone,
told of finding a robins nest in an
empty shell case.
AS rule birds are the finest SEN
tinels in the animal kingdom. They
become aware of approa ching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
IN the war parrots were kept at the
Eltfel tower as sentinels, but they
grew accustomed to the sound of en-
envy planes and were no longer of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily if Zeppelins are app
preaching, even when they are far
away, so far that man can hear no
sound.
What is perhaps stranger is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight balloon when it is COM
ing over. The "blister' makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky, miles from farmyard. the.
farmer will be made aware of the fact
BY the curious antics Of his pigs and
the clucking Of his hens.
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence Of danger, and many
pet shows uneasiness before raid.
Cats, too, show fear Of gunfire and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs, birds and horses are very SEN
sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur
Ing daylight raid, listen to the dogs,
and visit the stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But:
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear Is
proved by our cavalry horses. dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest IN the.
empty shell case.
