With an urgcut reeomnrendation from Provost M^shal General Crowdcr that it be enacted without delay, and a sugges tion that September fl. next, ml^ht be fixed as registration day for approxi mately 13.000,000 men throughout the country, the administration's manpow er bill requiring the registration for military .; service of all men between the ages of 18 and" 45 years was i?? trodueed today in the senate and honse. I'nlesH immediate steps are taken to' ?provide additional nieu. General Crow der said, the weekly registration of men as they attained '21 years of age will be necessary to fdl tbe draft quotas after September 1. when only 100,000 of the 1018 registrants will be available. I'pon the introduction of the bill Chair man Chamberlain announced that the sen ate military conunittVe would meet to morrow to consider the bill. He said lie did not think hen rings would be necessary and only three or four days should be required to report the bill. Chairman Pent, of the house committee, said, since only three mem l**rs of his committee are in Washing ton, it was doubtful whether the bill could be noted upon before the house reconvenes on August 10. Suggestions made on the senate floor by Senator Curtis of Kansas that the senate abandon. its program of recesses and perfunctory sessions until A,ugust 24 if the bill can bo favorably re{>orted tyy the committee within a few days were endorsed by Senator Chamberlain. How ever. senate leaders now in the city said any plans to this effect would be held in abeyance until the committee could determine just how much time would be necessary for a thorough dis cussiou of the bill. The .bill would amend the present selective service act so as to require the registration of all men between 18 ami 20 years and .12 and 4f>, inclusive. While the^ number of men iu the latter classes would total 10^028,073, Geueral Crowder estimates the total number who would be eligible for class one woubj be only 001,230, owing to exemptions for dependents or industrial and phy sical reasous. Tietween 18 and 20 years his estimates show that 3,171,771 would register while 1.787.U00 men would be eligible for class one. County Campaign Dates. Bethune, Tuesday. August, 13th.

From far across the waters where the now forever sacred woods shade the blood-1 and tear-tilled soils of the fertile val ley of the Marne come cries from a million Americans for help. These bat tlers of a peace-aspiring nation are with standing enemy attacks and making j drive# on tht lium M the rlskfof their lives, and many have already made the supreme sacrifice and died heroes. 1 hose who still remain here atid who are eligible for military service are the ones upon whose ears these cries .for help should frtlj.
