V L. LIX.—NO. 235 10,000,000 REGISTER FOR CONSCRIPTION Largest Military Census Ever Taken Was Completed Without Disturbance of Consgquence REASSURING MESSAGES FROM MANY STATES A Feature of the Registration of Thousands of Men to tion “Do You Claim Exemption?”’—Plotters and Cranks Who Have Agitated Against Registration Failed Utterly in Their Purpose—All is in Readiness Now to Select the Men Who Are to Go to Bar to Any Man Who Wishes to Enlist in the Army or Navy. June 5. — More than voung Americans en- for war ser- ‘Washington, ten million rolled themselves today vice. Registration day, with but a few - weeks of preparation, saw’ the largest military census ever taken in the United States completed without a single untoward event of conse- quence. When the provost marshal general's office closed at midnight no registra- tion report from any state had been received. The manhood of the nation obeved the president’s call and volunteered in mass, setting at naught all the schemes and plottings of German sympathizers and the few cranks who have agitated agrinst registration. It remains but to melect the men who are to go to the front From virtually every state reassur- ing messages came tonight to Brig- adier General Crowder, provost mar- shal-general, federal superv: cer of the great enterprise. While no complete returns from any state wore transmitted up to a late hour, the governors were unanimous in reporiing that complete quiet had _ prevailed thronghout . the dav and that a full ragistration was indicaied. In some precincts the late comers forced officia’s to keep the polls open. until Jong after the 9 p. m. closing Four set in the recistrations. General Crowder authorized them to keep open = s men wished to enroll them- selves. Indications of a Full Turnout. The early reports, showing a full turnout all over the country. indicated that the estimates of the census bu- reau as to the number of men within the specified age limits would be veri- fled by the count. Wherever partial figures were available the estimates checked closely. A feature of the registration was the refusal of huhdreds of thousands of men to make any reply to the question “Do you claim exemption " even men who reported that they had dependent familles; men with obvious physical disabflities and those whose occupa- tions are certain to keep them at home declining to make such a claim. Ap- parently they have entered fully into the very spirit of the law. They are content to leave ‘he question of ex- emption to the exemption boards. They have no claims to make, but are ready to do their share, whatever it may be ‘There is much work to be done in ofr- der that the brief synopsis which each governor will make to General Crow- der of the registration of his state may go forward promptly. It will take some hours, in many cases, to do the work and no figures for any state will come to Washington until every precinet has reported. Full Record Expected. General Crowder is hopeful that an- other 36 hours will see the full record of the country on his desk. Today's registration included only continental TUnited States. Alaska and Hawall will record their fighting men on dates to be set later and the roll of Americans now abroad who are besieging consulates all around the world for registration cards will add to the great list. The state qepartment wass called upon for additidnal cards today by the thousands. Late Rulings Necessary. Few eleventh hour rulings were found necessary. The system devised Ty General Crowder of invoking po- litical machinery of the nation in the task, worked with a smoothness that spoke of perfect co-operation by state, county and municipal officials. General Crowder made it clear, how- ever, that registration acted as a bar against no man who wished to enlist in the army or nav Any man who enrolled himself today, but whose pa- triotic impulse bids him step into the ranks now and not await selection day will pass from the resistration lists au tomatically.

New York, June 5.—Without a sem- blance of disorder, with every evidence of willingness to_serve, approximately 600,000 of New York's sons today in- scribed their names upon the natlon’s roll of honor. The entire city seem<t to have sensed the significance afd solemnity of the d: Pacifists, anti- conscriptionists, “conscientious ob- jectors™ and plain _“slackers” kept their sentimenis well concealed and attempted no distyrbance. Hundreds of the registration places, especially in t'p: €oreign quarters of the city, were kept open far into the night to register the long .ines of men who were awaiting their turn at 9 o'clock, the official closing hour, 50,303 in Rhode Island. Providence, R. I, June 5—With six districts missing out of the 184 in the state, Rhode Island at midnight showed a registration return of 350,- 303, 75,767 in Boston. Boston, June 5.—The total resistra- tion in Doston was announced unoffi- cially to be T: REGISTRATION RIOT AT BUTTE, MONT. State Troops With Fixed Bayonets Cleared the Streets. Butte, Mont., June 5.—A parade of several hundred men and women, who appeared of foreign extraction, in pro- test agalnst registration, started a riot here late today. The paraders, all shouting against war and registration, had gone but a short distance when citizens began gathering, blocking the passage of the paraders. Policemen who attemnted to break up the procession were attacked by the women marchers. Several shots were fired, but no one was hurt. Mayor Maloney, addressing a crowd of 2,500 persons, announced that he would give them 15 minutes to dis- perse. State troops who had been held at their barracks were opdered to clear the street and with fixed bayo- nets proceeded to disperse the mob. Several arrests were made. The city is virtually under martial law, groups of soldiers patrolling all the streets, allowing no crawds or groups to congregate. All saloons are closed. A COMMITTEE ON THE CONSERVATION OF CHILD LIFE Has Been Appointed by State Health Comm ner of Massachusetts. Boston, June 5.—A committee on the conservation of chila life was ap- pointed today by State Health Com- missioner Dr. J. Allen McLaughlin. “By intensive methods of child con- servation,” he said, “enough lives of babies can be saved, over and above those saved by ordinary methods in times of peace, to replace in a few years the man power lost because of the war. Drs. David L. Ed=~} and William J. Gallivan, of the public health council and J. Lyman Andrews, director of th® division of hygiene in the state health department, were, named as members AUSTRIAN TORPEDO BOAT TORPEDOED AND SUNK ic Set. Vienna., June 5, via London, 8.00 p. m.—An Austrian torpedo boat was tor- pedoed and sur a hostile subma- rine on Sunday night in the northern Adriatic, it was officiully announced to- av. The announcement reads: “On Sunday night in the northern Adriatic an Austrian torpedo boat was torpedoed and sunk hy an enemy sub- marine. The majority of the crew was rescued. ORDER IN ARIZONA Three Hundred Russian Colonists De- clined to Register. Phoenix. Ariz, June 5.—Three hun- dred Russian colonists, trans-Cauca- sians, settled near Glendale, nine miles west of Phoenlx, declined to register today. They are members of a re- ligious order, the. Molokans, a branch of the Doubhobors, and had taken a vow againr~t warfare. CONN., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1917 TEN PAGES—70 COLS. PRICE TwWO CENTS- With Mission’s Work. London, June 5.—Asked in the house of commons today whether he would be in a position to give any informa- tion as to the results of the British mission to the United States. which was headed by Foreign Secretary Bal- four, Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the lower house, replied: “I cannot think it will be useful to say anything mere at present than that the government is more than satisfied with the result of the mission OVATION TO PRESIDENT BY CONFEDERATE VETERANS When He Welcomed Them to Their 27th Annual Reunion. ‘Washington, June 5.—Veterans and visitors in Washington by the thous- ands for the 27th annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans join- ed today in giving President Wilson a great ovation when he welcomed the soldiers of Dixie to the capital. The president’s declaration that the day was one of gladness because of the sacred memories and of a re-dedi- cation of a united country to those principles that have made America great among the nations of the earth was greeted with a rousing cheer. The hali was filled with thousands and awice as many more had to be turned away. While waiting for the president the crowd cheered Confed- erate leaders and noisily expressed its appreciation old airs of the south played by the Marine band and sung by groups of gray-jacketed young women from Portsmouth, Va. Patriotism was the keynote of the opening session of the reunion, held for the first time north of Mason and Dixon’s line. The presentation of a United States flag to General George P. Harrison, commander-m-chief of the Confederates, by Colonel Andrew Cowan, of the Gran® Army of the Re- public. was the signal for a demon- stration. The Stars and Stripes were hung side by side with the Stars and Bars behind the presiding officer and will remain there throughout the re- union. “For four vears,” said General Har- rison, “I learned to love another flag, which you have truly said was borne with honor through the war, and furled with honor at the end. Now that the war of sections has ended and our country is again united, my love for Old Glory has returned and we who wore the gray now stand side by side with you who wore the biue in fighting for. liberty and human rights.” “Corporal” James Tanner. who served as a member of a New York regiment and was wounded at thc battle of Second Manasses, welcomed the Confederates in the name of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is a former commander. Colonel Robert E. lLee, zrandson of the south’s war lcader, deelared in his address that the sons of the men of the north and south would emulate the example of their fathers and serve their country in any capacity in which thev are called. The number of veterans here is es- timated at nearly 7.000. Tents pro- vided for them on the Union Station plaza could not accommodate all of the Jate comers and homes had to be sought for them CHANGES MADE IN THE FOOD CONTROL BILL Licensing of Manufacturing Plants and Storage Houses. Washington, June 5.—Changes in the administration food control bill to extend the scope of provisions gov- erning licepsing of manufacturing plants and distributing and storage houses probably will be made as a re- sult of a_conference today between Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary Hous- ton, Chairman Lever, of the house ag- riculture committee, and Representa- tive Anderson of Minnesota, another member of the committec. The bil will be reported to the house favor- ably by the end of the week. Extension of the licensing feature to exporters is considered now, it is said, to give the government a firmer control over food shipments to for- eign countries. At present both the allies and neutrals are buying food in this country in unrestricted quan- tities. If the licensing stopped at grain and other food exchanges and boards of trade, the government, it is con- tended, would have no power to con- trol foreign buying and could meet the situation only through operation ?f the export restriction bill now pend. ng. LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN IMMENSELY GRATIFYING Secretary McAdoo Says if There No Letup Success is Certal Washinzton, June 5—Secretary Me- Adoo in a statement issued tonight at the treasury department said the re- sults of the Liberty loan campaign thus far had been immensely gratify- ing” and that “if there is no letup in the work success is certain.” He emphasized that it was not intended that the tentative allotment of the bonds among the federal reserve dis- tricts and various cities announced some time ago should be considered as redresenting maximum - require- ments. “It is imperative that the loan shall be largely ,over-subscribed,” he said. LOCOMOTIVE DERAILED AT SPRINGF!ELD, MASS. Cause of the Accident is Unknown— No One Was Injured. Springfield, Mass., June 5—The lo- comotive of the New York express on the New Haven road leaving this city at 2.33 o'clock this afternoon was de- railed a few hundred feet west of the Union station. The engineer, Robert Z. Lawrence of Stamford, Conn. and Fireman F. C. Gobel, of Bridgeport, escap:d se- rious injury. The front truck of the mail car left the rails. No passen- gers were injured. The cause of the accident has not been determined. HIGH RECORD DAY FOR ARMY RECRUITING tments to 'Regulars Numbered 4,201 Yesterday. Washington, June 5.—Regular army recruiting established a daily reco:d yesterday when 4,201 men were obtain- ed as against an average daily figure of 1,500 since April 12. The day's results bring the total of war volunteers enlisted for the res- ular army since April 1 up to 101,483, leaving less than 83,000 men to be ob- tained to fill the army to full author- ized war strength of ~approximat:ly 300.008. Enl| Registration in Air Raid on Essex State 170,000/ and Kent, England ESTIMATE FROM FIGURES AVAIL- ABLE LAST NIGHT WAS NO DISORDER There Was But One Arrest, That of a Man in Hartford—An Enthusiastic Response Was Made by Aliens to - Cail for Registration. Hartford, Conn., June 5. — Unof- ficial returns from' 68 of the 168 cities and towns in the state received up to midnight give a total of 125,949, indi- cating that the total number of men who registered yesterday under the se- lective draZe law will greatly exceed the “estimate of 155,000 made by the state council of -defense several days ago. Returns received at that hour, especially those from the cities, show- ed clearly that the youth of the state had turned out in overwhelming num- bers to fulfill their duty to the nation. From figures available it is estimated that the total registration will exceed 160,000. Only One Arrest. The notable feature of the day was the absence throughout the state of any untoward incident, there being but one arrest—that of Louis Brodyat who was taken into custpdy in Hartford while displaying a paper on which were remarks of an advisory nature aaginst the draft. Resglstrations in ail sections of the state reported a genera]l spirit of enthusiasm among those who registered which could not be mistaken for a mere willingness to comply with the law. Tabulators in all of the cities with the exception of Hartford had arrived at an approximate total of the num- ber who registered by midnizht. Dur- ing the day the Capital City experienc- ed diffiiculty in obtaining sufficient cards, but this was overcome in the late afternoon when a new supply be- came available, Rush of Apolicants. In the larzer cities where districts are large and the voting places small, the rush of_applicants during certain periods of the day practically over- whelmed the registrars. This diffi- cultv was overcome in some instances by transferrine registrars from dis- tricts where the ru/: was not so great. An interesting feature was the en- thusiastic response with which aliens sought to be registered, Even those classed as “enemy” did not hold back, registration officers reported. The re- turns from New Britain emphasize this fact clearly. In the fifth ward there. for instance, thickly settled by Polish peonle, the total number rezistered was 2.627 out of a total registration of 7,- for the entire city. Official Figures Today. Complete and official figures will probably not be available until some time tomorrow. Computation of fig- ures are to be not only in classes by age, but further sub-divided to show the number of men who are totally dis- abled: who are in exempted occupa- tions:. who have dependents and claim exemption: who are aliens and also enemy allens.

Amoy, China, June 5—Five demands are made upon the Peking govern- ment by the seceding provinces of China. These are: The dismissal of the national as- sembly, the revision'of the constitu- tion: the dismissal of the president’s advisors; the reinstatement of Pre- mier Tuan Chi-Jui and war against Germany. Compliance with the first two de- mands is considered the most difficult, but both factions, according to the indications here, are confident that a ;:tlsfflcwry compromise will be reach- DESPONDENT TEXAS MAN KILLS HIS ENTIRE FAMILY Set Fire to His Home and Then Shot and Killed self.

MATERIAL DAMAGE IN RESIDEN- TIAL SECTION TWO PERSONS KILLED The British and Germans in Belgium Are Still Engaged in a Violent Artil- lery Duel—Austrians Are Pressing Italians. A raid by a squadron of German aeroplanes over the counties of Essex and Kent, England, serves for the mo- ment to distract attention from the manoeuvres on the battle fronts, where for the most part artillery engage- ments are still in progress. Sixteen German Aircraft. Some sixteen of the German aircraft were engaged in the attack, during which bombs were dropped and mate- rial damage resuited in residential sec- tions and two persons were killed and twenty-nine injured. The British and Germans near Wytschaete in Belgium are still en- gaged in a violent artillery duel which probably is the forerunner of a great infantry action at an early date. Al- ready, according to Berlin, the British, after having hurled great quantities of steel against the German defenses, ad- vanced to see the resuit of the work of their guns, but were forced by the German fire to return to their posi- tions. Quiet on French Front. There has been no resumption on the part of the iine where the French are facing the Germans of the intense battles of Saturday and Sunday. During Tuesday eighteen German aeroplanes were accounted for by British aviators on the western battle front. The British themselves lost five machines. Apparently the Austrians on the front from Gorizia to the sea are still the aggressors against the Italians, but according to the Rome war office their attacks have all been repulsed, except south of Jamiano, where as- saults compelled the Italians to give way. PROFESSIONAL MEN OF NEW YORK IN LOAN CAMPAIGN. Appeals Sent to Members Urging Per- sonal Subscriptions. New York, June 5.—The professional men of New York campaigned today for the liberty loan of 1917. The bar association, medical societies and other organizations sent out special appeals to their members urging personal sub- scriptions and the securing of outside pledges. Before daybreak 2,500 life In- surance agents started out on a house- to-house canvass under the auspices of the Life Insurance Underwriters’ assoclation. Tomorrow will be labor day for the liberty loan. A epecial effort #ill be made to interest the 650,000 members of the American Federation of Labor and its affiliated organizations. Labor meetings will be he'd throughout the state tomorrow night at which work- ers will be urged to invest. Owners of all motor cars also will be specially appealed to subscribe. On Thursday aviators carrving cir- culars will “attack” the eity. The de- partment of the east has assigned army airmen. A fleet of 15 or 20 machines will drop 200,000 circulars in packages which, welighing 50 pounds each, will burst like bombs above the rooftops. SUPREME COURT OF ERRORS IN SESSION AT NEW HAVEN Judge Milton H. Shumway Makes H Initial Appearance as Justice. New Haven, Conn., June 5.—The supreme court of errors opened its June term here today, Judge Miiton H. Shamway taking his seat as a justice of this tribunal for the first time. Most of the cases on the document were ready for argument but it was found that through delay in printing the briefs necessary for the presenta- tion of cases were not ready. Coun- sel in some of the cases, however, agreed to argue the cases and present the briefs later. The first cases taken up under this arrangement was that of Grace L. Hott, an appeal against the city of New Haven. SUBSTANTIAL RECRUITING FOR NATIONAL GUARD of 15,000 to 20,000 Dur- ing the Last Ten Days of May. ‘Washington, June 5.—Incomplete re- cruiting rteurns for the national guard during the last ten days of May show a schstantial gain, particularly among regihents not in the federal service. A net increase of 15,000 to 20,000 men is indicated. On this shwowing the aggregate strength of the national guard should be close to 200,000 men, leaving only about 130,000 to be recruited to put all existing regiments on a war footing. At the present rate virtually all of the regiments would reach full strength by the time they are drafted into the federal armies in July and August. ELKS ARE TO RAISE FUND OF $1M000 FOR WAR To Confer Wlth Red Cro-t and Fed- s to era] Officials Chicago, June 5.—To decide the dis- position of a_$1,000,000 charitable con- tribution to be raised by Elks on ae- count of the war, Edward Rightor, grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Hiks, an- nounced today the appointment of a committee of five to confer with Red Cross authorities and other federal cficials in Washington.
