TIIE MORNING 'OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 191S. STATE WILL PASS REGISTRATION GOAL Draft Officials Confident Tha Quota of 84,400 Will Be Far Exceeded.. SOME CONFUSION PREVAILS Ase Limits Provisions of New Law Hot Yet Clear to All Prepara tions for Enrollment Are Practically Complete. Oregon will exceed the registration oal of 84,400 announced from the Pro Tost Marshal-General's office when it enrolls on September 13 "311 men be tween the ages of 18 and 4d, both In elusive, who have not previously reg istered, draft officials of the state pre- !nt. It develops that the estimate from Washington is based on the total reg istration attained early in operation of the selective service. This was 83,319 for the state. Subsequently ad ditions approximating 2500 names were made, bringing the total for the state to 6.000. In round numbers. One ,and one-third times the later total sets Oregon's probable enrollment under the extended draft age limits at 88.000. Some Predict 10O.0OO. The increased population due to the Influx of shipbuilders nd timber work ers is counted on to boost the aggre gate of registrants in this state. Some &ay It may reach 100,000. Conservative estimates ranjro around 90.000. No one as yet has the temerity to iruvss what number of fighting men may be picked from the great army of new registrants. A point with reference to the forth coming registration about which ques tion is being raised is that of specific r.ge limits. There is no uncertainty, setmingly. regarding the lower limit, for the boy who has passed his 18th birthday, or who attains his 18th birth day on or before September 12, must register. Some Confusion Prevails. At the other end there Is some con fusion. One man appeared yesterday who will observe his 45th birthday on September 11. He was UHder the im pression that he is beyond the new draft limit, but such is not the case. Men of the age of 43 are Included, up to the one who has not on or before September 12 observed his 46th birth day. The tendency to error on this point, a draft official pointed out, is because of the loose way in which the former age limits were quoted as "21 to 31." The official expression hae been "between the ages of 21 and 30. both inclusive." Just as the new limits are described as "between the ages of 18 and 45, both inclusive." Harvey Wells, State Insurance Com missioner, a resident of Portland, is believed to be the first man registered in Oregon under the new law. He pre sented his card Saturday to local board No. 7. in the jurisdiction of which he resides. He registered then because of . intended departure for Denver and ab sence from the city on registration day. Other May Do Likewise. It is urged by draft officials that all men who know they will be away from home on registration day. whether they belong in Oregon or in some other state, follow Mr. Weils' example and register in advance. The local citizen who expects to be absent is asked to hunt up his board and have his en rollment effected. A man who is in the state tempo rarily and unable to register at the place of his permanent residence may obtain a registration card from any board. The board will help him fill out the card and certify to it, and this must then be mailed to hfs home board. Such cards should be mailed in time to reach the home boards by registration day. The man who Is obliged to mall his registration card is not registered until the card is received by his board. He is asked to enclose a stamped return en velope in which the registration cer tificate may be sent him. Until he ob tains it and Is able to present his reg istration certificate at all times and places he isf liable to arrest. Failure Is Punishable. Failure to register is punishable by Imprisonment for a term of one year. There is no alternative of getting off with a fine. luring the week past special helpers have been busy at the office of Cap tain Cullison, head of the selective eerv Ice in Oregon, mailing out registration supplies. The new questionnaires also are going forward to county and local boards. Ietai!s of preparation for the regis tration have been very largely attend ed to In Oregon. Little remains to be done except recruiting of assistants by some boards, and Oregon will be ready to go ov r the top creditably and with fitting patriotic celebration, declared Captain Culiison. !H ! j IlliHiiiiiilililillill a."

Is being held over for several diys. Peoples. "Till I Come Back to You," Cecil B. DeMille's photoplay special on exhibi tion at the Peoples Theater, is another great and sincere picture that has come out of the world war. It's not a pic ture of Incessant combat, artillery duels, and like spectacular stuff, but its theme deals with the war in its relation to non-combatants, the women and children of Belgium, while en gineering feats and King Albert of Belgium, as well as a romance of the stressful times, occupied much of De Mi lie s time. Bryant Washburn, of the famous "Skinner" series, is presented as a Fa mous Players-Laeky star in this pic ture, while Florence Vidor is his lead ing woman. G. Butler Clonbough and Winter Hall have prominent roles. Jeanie Macpherson, who wrote the story, took an American captain of engineers as his hero and a Belgian girl wedded to a German spy as the heroine. Belgium is invaded, the spy is uncovered, America enters the war. and then Strong, at the head of his company of engineers, enters the life of Yvonne, the girl. The German use of liquid fire, its storage point oh a hill reached via sappers, the struggle between the captain and the spy, and finally the sacrifice of the American pays for the blowing up of the liquid fire in order that the girl and orphaned Belgians might be saved, lead up to a court-martial sentence to death and I escape through the intervention of King Albert. DeMille has an enviable reputation as a producer and "Till I Come Back to You" will make for him many more admirers.

This is in answer -to charges made in many quar ters that Empey, who secured an Army Captaincy and lost it within a week because of the stopping of recruiting, has made slurring remarks about drafted men. "The pro-Germans in the United States love me like poison, because I have been hammering them from the lecture platform and in all my writ lngs," says Empey. "The person or persons who originated the propaganda that I have ever criticised the drafted men, or the fighting qualities of our good old United States Army, are liars, and I defy them to make themselves known. They are pro-Germans and fight Just like the rest of their spawn 1 1: the German imperial army of mur derers. They will not fight in the open but lurk in holes like rats. "Boys, do me a favor.

Carter Williamson, of ; United States Shipping Board vessel, a Portland-built ship on her maiden voyage whose starboard boiler was wrecked by an explosion a few days ago while lying at a Honolulu harbor dock. The explosion occurred as a result, it is believed, of the waterfeed being shut off while the fires were kept going. Trial of the two men will open before the Federal inspector of hulls and boilers. While the results of the investiga tion warrant the charges against the two officers, this is not taken to mean that tho . possibility of sabotage has been eliminated. The board of inspec tors holds that on facts disclosed the officers were negligent in not ascer taining the trouble and remedying it in time. That someone tampered with the valve regulating the waterfeed seems indisputable. Investigation is being continued.

"America is just getting up steam,' he declared, "and nothing would de light the Hun better than to have this peace sentiment spread throughout America with the result that enthus iasm would wane and the American spirit, now aroused in righteous indig nation, be weakened." Mr. Lockhart deplored the fact that this psychological influence unfavor able to civilization Is being spread. "Head it off." said the preacher. "The war may end this Fall or next Spring, but the indications are that it will con tinue for some time.

HONEST LABOR IS TRIUMPHANT World Has No Place for Loafer, Says Rev. Mr. Short. "Labor Triumphant, or the Glory of the Sweaty Face" was the topic of a Labor-day sermon delivered by Rev. Francis Burgette Short, pastor of the Wilbur Methodist Church organization in the ballroom of the Multnomah Hotel yesterday morning. "Labor is ordered of God," said Rev. Mr. Short. "There Is no place in the world's social economy for the loafer, whether he be a hobo or a millionaire. No man has a moral Tight, though he may have a legal right, to live upon the earnings of another. "Labor is ordained of God. It Is therefore honorable. The sweaty face is not only a mark of industry but an evidence of honor, independence and reliability. God's approval is upon the man who works. We therefore dis cover that labor is the only honorable pursuit of life. All honest labor is triumphant. "The glory of labor is In results achieved.
