To this end it has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which .we have been wont think of armies, there are no armies ih this struggle, there are entire :mnations armed. Thus, the men who remain to till the soill and man the factories are not less & part of the army that is France than the nien beneath the battle fiags. . It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; it is a nation. “To this end our people must draw close in one compact front against a common foe. - But this cannot be if each man pursues a private purpose. All must pursue one purpose. The nation needs all men; but it needs each man, not.in the fleld that will best serve the common good. - Thus though a sharpshooter pleases to operate a trip-hammer for the forging of great guns and an expert ma- chinist desires to march with the flag, the nation is being served only when the sharpshooter marches and the machinist remains at his levers. “The whole nation must be a team, of scientific definiteness and pre. | States, territories, and the District of |, which each man shall play the part SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1917, - PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION ORDERING ALL : MEN BETWEEN 21 AND 30 TO REGISTER upon which all shall present them- selves for assignment to their tasks.

Mr. Roosevelt told me, when T had the pleasure of see- ing him a few weeks ago, that he would wish to have associated with him some of the most effective officers of the regular y. He named many of these whofl he would desire to heave designaf for the service, and they were men who cannot possibly be spared from the too pressing and necessary duty of training regular troops to be put in the field in France and Belgium as fast as they can be got ready- “The first troops sent to France wiil be taken from the present forces of the regular army and will be under the command of trained soldiers only. “The responsibility for the success- ful conduct of our own part in this great war rests upon me.

Oyster Bay, L. 1., May 19.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt evinced interest last night in the news from Washing- ton that President Wilson had not seen fit to accept his offer to raise a volunteer force for immediate serv- jce in France, but said he had no comment to make. “I gent a telegram to President Wil- son this afternoon,” 'sald Colonel Roosevelt, ** in which I offered to raise two divisions for immediate service, and added that if the president so desired I would raise two more di- visions. I have received no answer to my offer except what you tell me the president has said. I do not wish to make any comment upon the mat- ter tonight.” ¢ ‘When ‘Colonel Roosevelt was in- formed that the president had decid- ed to send Major General Pershing to France with an expeditionary force his only comment was:—"That is very interesting.’ OFFICERS’ NAMES FORWARDED. quired of him in the execution of this act, shall, if nat subject to military law, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction in the district court of the United States, having jurisdic- tion thereof, be punished by impris- onment for .not more than:one year, or, if subject to military law, shall be tried by court-martial and suffer such punishment as a court-martial may . ;*“Now, therefore, I Woodrow Wil- son, President.of the United - States, do call upon the governor of each of the several states and territories, the board of commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and all officers and agents of the several states and terri- tories, of the District of Columbia, and of the counties and municipalities therein, to perform.certain duties in the execution of the foregoing law, which duties will be communicated to them directly in regulations of even date herewith. “And I do further proclaim and give notice to all persons subject to registration shall be between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. on'the fitth day of June, 1917, at the reglstration plage in the precinct ‘wherein they haye their permaneénit homes: Thoae‘&ho shall have' dttaihed thelf twenty-first birth- day and who shall not have attained their thirty-first birthday on or before Sun, wind and dust all do their best to ruin the complexions of those subjected to them.
