The second reg istration as fixed by President Wjl- son in 8 proclamation issued. aand this registration brought forth ap- proXimately 1O00,000 more men ready to answer the call of their country. For the third time all young men who had attained the age of 21 years from June j. 1918 I'D to and includ- ing August 4. 1918. were required to register and this additional regis tration brought forth about 65o,o00 more. So that the above registrations gave the United States about 12.65O,- 900 men to draw from for military service.
 President Wilson on the 3lst day of August, 1918, approved an act amendatory of the act approved May IS, 1917, being section 5 in which it was provided that all men between the ages of IS and 45 were required, under penalty, to register for military service. Meaning that on Thursday, September 12, 1918, every male resi- dent who was citizen of the United States who had not attained on that date his 46th birthday, must register for military service.

 sumed at home the graver responsl

 civil and industrial life. they will

Sul ger who made powerful plea in behalf of the of Alaskans to govern themselves He has shown his faith by having introduced bill conferring upon Alas ka full Territorial powers. Wickersham, oth- CT hand could never be prevailed upon to introduce any such bill Instead he stood by his Organic Act which he himself declares limits the powers of the Territorial Legislature. They might play at self government, but they must not be given any two edged tools for fear that they might themselves This faherly interest in the welfare of the people Alaska, who were treated children, is pathetic However, James Wickersham sefishy figured that by keeping away from the people of Alaska their right to regulate their affairs it would his ambitions for being the dominating figure in Alaskan politics. The election of Delegate Suzer and the quiet determined work of MT Suzer entirely ing the grandsand display efforts of his predecessor have sadly disarranged the plans of MT. Wckersham Cornered by the House Committee for why the Australian ballot should not govern in Alaska he struck out blindy and boasted that it void because he had purposey drawn the Organic Act to prevent the Legislature from passing election laws for their protection.
