The day when the young men of Seattle are to offer their lives totheir country in this, her grave hour of need.

It was for some tribal or national interest The machinery for se- lect service registration in Seattle and King county is completely assembled, oiled and ready for its gi- gantic task Tuesday.

At 7 a. m. in 277 pre- cincts in the city and 142 precincts in the county volunteer registrars will open registration places and until 9 p. m. all men between the ages of 21 and 31 will register them- selves for war service. e, 38,000 men are ex- gister while the county | | precincts outside the city are ex- pected to furnish between 7,000 d 8,000 men.

There has very seldom been anything stake.

EDITOR'S NOTE.—Fort Lawton, the military post on Magnolia bluff, is popularly supposed to be the center of Seattle's military preparedness just at present, The Star sent Echo Zahl and Frank Jacobs, staff photographer, to the fort to find out what is going on there. Miss Zahi got herself photographed with the soldiers, and here tells, in her inimitable style, what she found. ay Se 2 a 1 thought per too, stalwart uni innonists i g field bayonet charges, drill and I might have been in the road that led to} nt thicket for the bo« ¢ from out the The young American of today who offers his life in army or navy enlists in ser- iter Of rai vice for all humanity—all the nations of civilization, with their hundreds of millions of men, women and children and all the uncivilized peoples for whom there is hope of future rise from benightedness.

Ah! Young Man, don’t go in with the slightest feeling that you’re forced. You are specially selected for world-service. It is opportunity such as few, if any, war heroes ever had thruout all recorded time. You fight, as Jesus Christ preached, loved and died, FOR ALL MEN. You are tested as to physical, mental and moral qualification, and pronounced fit to uphold the all-important cause of human progress and happiness. The world needs you, calls you; you are fit, you are specially selected. It is high honor, tho your place be at the breech of a 10-inch gun, or ata factory drill, or at the handle of a hoe. It is America saying to the dying in the trenches, the starving in the homes of stricken Europe, “We are sending you our very best!” It is giving your children the right to say, not “My father was rich,” or “My father held high office,” but “My father was one of the heroes chosen to uphold freedom, justice and equality thruout C hristendom when the fires of destruction raged highest and fiercest!” Put behind you all that you wanted to be, all that you wanted to do! The greatest of life’s opportunities is open to you—world-service. There can be no higher honor than being picked from among your fellows to do or die in the crucial hour of civilization’s status, in a cause that is both God’s and humanity’ 8. Face front! Shoulder arms! Forward march! It is that human freedom, equality and happiness shall not perish from the earth. ‘ ; e . r « ‘ H e e ‘ e . . « ‘ ‘ e . n ’ . » s » ° . ’ ° * * . eo . ° . ° e * ’ . . e . iJ ° ° s ° ° ° * . * ° ° . ° . e . . . . ry * * ° ° . . . * * ° . ° n ‘ . ‘ . ’ ° e ’ . ‘ 0 ° n ‘ ‘ . r ‘ rn . ’ ’ ‘ ’ . . . r n n n n e POC o coerce ercc esse ees ese OOH SOOOOOSEOOHSESOOOSOOO OOOO OOIEH OSES THEN ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL PORTLAND, June 4.—A mys tery as complete, as baffling as any that ever added white hairs to the head of Sherlock Holmes, today surrounds the case of W.
