REGISTRATION DAY JI NK .V
Bf proclamation President Wilson
has set aside Tuesday. June 5. as
the - day when the first enrollment
of all male citizens _ x between the
apes of 21 and 30. ipfclusive. will
be made. This will be a notable
day. as it will mark a new epoch in
the annals of the history of thiv
country. In no war in which the
Uaited States has been enaaned hav
tbere been conscription of military
force* at the beninninH As Presi
deal Wilson explains in his procla
mation. however, this is not to be
taken as a desire on the part of the
Hovernment to apply force to net
men to serve their country, for that
is not necessary, but it is intended
rather-to select men fitted for th--
work they are to do. andy to leave
those behind who can best serv-?
their country at home in the mak
inn of food stuffs and in the pur
suit of useful occupations. A net?
holiday has been created and the
nation will doubtless boil with
patriotic enthusiasm on that day.
But. in addition to the patriotism
and enthusiasm, there will be a
feleing of sadness as we see the
powerful machinery of the nation
set in motion to whip into shape th *
raw recruits to be sent out on their
mission of dealinn death and the
further mission, it may be. of offer-
inn up their youthful lives as a sae
rifice on the altar of their country.
Youdk men who leave may neve-
return, hut they will leave as a her-
itaice the knowledge ,,f duty well

point with pride to the manly youth
who willingly give up all to serv-
their cuontry.
