BERNARD - - Vice-President and Business Manager TOTAL WAR In ordering registration of all young men 18 and 19 years of age, President Roosevelt takes a wise step in further mobilizing America’s maximum manpower for any future emergency. Everyone hopes the war will be over before most | of these young men reach 20, and thus become eligible | for service. But we cannot count on that, so it is only common sense to be prepared— 5 By registering the groups below the induction ge just as we have registered the men, from 45 to| above the induction age. This is total war. That, means being prepared to use our total resources in manpower as well as our| | total resources in raw materials and production. In World War I, the first draft called men from 21 to 30. The second draft increased the age limits 50 that all men from 18 to 45 were eligible for mili- | tary service. | Much as we may deplore the fact, youth bears | the brunt of this war, as it has every other war. Yet |in the present war, the United States is calling upon | older men for duty—in all fields—to a degree far be- | yond anything before. | This is everybody's fight.

Men And The Draft | (New Ycrk Times) Under a plan to go into effect on June 15 draft registrants accepted for military duty are to receive immediate fortnight furloughs with pay, to afford them time to close out civilian affairs. Furloughs| will begin at the inducticn station. When the fort-| I night is up, the men will have their parade and fare- | }\voll and will go to reception camp in groups.
