REGISTRATION DAY

WASHINGTON June 5.-Today, on

Hon youths. the estimated strength OF
bne class of 1918, register on the first
station Of the tourney TO the colors.
When their draft registration cards
come into their hands, they come to
the dispoa.tion of swift, smoothly
whose agencies in every country side,
hamlet, and city Of the land have as
stunned successfully the task of dis
Grim mating between the nations need
for men who can fight or work, and
Its additional need for men at nom e
to support its dependent population.
Observers foreign and dom este,
military and civilian alike, class the
performance to date under the
American selective service law as the
most tangibly successful of its mill
tary efforts and regard the accretion
to the man power reservoir of the
youngsters who had not reached their
majority one year ago as the most
certain assurance of the final down :
fall of the Prussian autocracy. Be II
near Or far, the day of Allied victory
cannot be avaded. the practical mili-
tary view Is, so long as the ricing food
OF the American armies, drilled
equipped and equipping, can be
turned to the European battlefront
Provost Marshal General Crowder
who superyises the draft fixes the
tenta tive numbe given above for tht
days new total, and likewise from
the experience tables Of the veal
places the number Of potential sol
diera to be added to the list today a
100000, concluding that the class viii

As they ASSENT bic at the registerin;

stations today, the total of mon
raised by the draft in the United
states for it's armies will pass 1900,
900. Before the end of the present
month, the mobilized total will have
passed 100000, for the immense
military machine that owes it's exis-
tence to the readiness of plain Ameri-
cans to fight is moving forward to a
goal that will meet President VIII
non's demand for force, force to the
utmost, and force with TOUT stint
The $500 local boards throughout
the work have named registering
clerks for every 100 Of the young
men within their jurisdiction. Men
absent unavodably from their homes
on registering day may apply to any
board for their cards. Names as
recorded Will pass into the classical
tons Of registered men and, in az
4cordance with their physical crualifica-
tons, their status as to dependents
and as to Industrial or agricultural
occupations, they will be assigned to
Glass I, ?, 3, 4 or 5. The overwhelm
ing majority, however, as indicated by
the estimate given the provost-mar
shall general expects to find placed In
Class one.
They will go to the foot of the list
of 1917 registrants in each class, and
will not be called, the regulations
provide, until those above them have
been taken, unless by trade or educa-
ton they are fitted for specialized
army service, then they may be called
sooner. The system of determining the
=, order of their call as among them
selves the provost marshal general has
not yet fixed, but the general expecta-
! ton is that some Sont of a. lottery of
| the type previously used, will be con-
! Quoted on a national scale Yet of
! this officials are not certain, because
| the recurring draft calls come more

and the classification has come to be

postpone for few days the inevitable
call to the training camps
National purpose to see that no in.

the command of the government tt
