Another registration day for Cleve

when It was found that more than
8000 men were unaable to register

Members of the city election boaid

a second registration day. which will
be held sometime before June 20.

While registration in some districts
fell below war department expecta

totals.
In some Pacific states sections, half

continued slow. They are not expected
to be complete before syne days.
Th next great task to be overcome
Is that of hearing exemption pleas.
More than 50 per cent of those who
signed tip claimed exemption in some
districts. It will be necessary to call
two million men to get the quota of
625,000, the war department believes.

the next step. Meanwhile America's
'war machine is rushing preparation of
equipment for the first army to be
hurled against Germany.
- Contracts for shoes, uniforms and
other necessities are being rapidlv
placed.
Kifles and bayonets are being man

Ambulance units are planned and
transports selected, all under cover of

When the first 625,000 are called to

Toklo. June 6 (U. P.) Autocracy s

triumphed and today It Appears that
the repuNio Is practically destroyed
A division ef China Into two nations
seems probable.
A long struggle of militarism
against constitutionalism may be !
pected to follow the present revolU'
tlon.
Dr. W. W. Willoughby. American
constitutional adviser to the former
Chinese republic, now en route home to
he United States, thus summed up tic-
Chinese situation for the United Press
today:
"The revolution is most serious," he
declared. "The republic is practically

Small Reserve
On West Front
Approximately 315,000 Men Only
Have Xot Been Flung Into
Fighting Line.
With the French Armies !n the
Field, June 6. (U. P.) Germany has
only 21 division of troops on the
western front approximately 315,000
men which she has not yet flung Into
the fighting line.
The 107 divisions (1.605.000 men)
with which the British and French of
fensives have been engaged in recent
weeks, have suffered losses averaging
between 2000 and 3000 per division or
from 214,000 to 321.000 men.
These figures are those of trencn
headquarters. They give not only a
clear idea of the tremendous efforts
which Germany is making to stop the
French and British advance, out aiso
the terrible toll which the allies have
taken in the fighting.
The French estimates are that Ger-
-mm. .. M
many has a total or it6 aivisions oi
all kinds of troops now on the western
front. (This would be about 2.34U.0OO
men). Of these 156, only 128 are
divisions of real fighting men, the
others being auxiliary corps. One
hundred and seven of these 128 fight
ing corps have been Identified as op-
poised to the Aisne and Champagne
fronts. Early in May the Germans gave in
dications of no other plan of campaign
than to resist and counter attack
desperately, while feverishly con
structing at the rear a successive
series of retreat lines similar to the
boasted "Hindenburg line."

Will ir. Daly was defeated in

No. IX
- THE THREE REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD INVESTMENT
The three Cardinal requirements of every investment, particularly
bonds, are Safety, Marketability and Return.
How do these requirements apply to the Liberty Bonds?
Safety Behind the U. S. national debt of about three billion dollars
(including this issue) is an estimated wealth of 250 billion dollars. Our
present -debt per capita is about $3 0 as compared to a debt per capita
before the war of $162 in France and $7 5 in Great Britain. Our wealth
per capita is now estimated at about $2500, as compared with $1750 irr
Great Britain, $1519 in Germany and $1522 in France. Our yearly in
come is estimated at about 400 times the annual interest charges on our
total debt, including the present 2 billion dollar issue.
Marketability United States government bonds have always com
manded an immediate market even in times of great financial stress.
They .are so salable that they are known among bond houses as about
the only bonds that "can be sold on Sunday." The conversion privilege
of the -Liberty Bonds allows the holder, without expense to him, to ex
change his bonds into any new bonds issued during the war bearing a
higher rates of interest. Such a privilege makes it practically certain
that in the event of the government issuing more bonds, which must be
sold at par, the holder of this issue will then be able to get par for his
bonds. In the event of the war ending in a reasonable time, these bonds
should then sell considerably above their present price.
Return In view of their safety and marketability, it is self-evident
that the Liberty Bonds, free of all taxes except inheritance tax and pay
ing 3H,;and perhaps more, yield a fair return.

The contest is expected to be close,
since there are a large number of
votes expected in this afternoon.
President Wilson will touch the but
ton as a signal for unveiling the

It is probable that Dan Kellaher will

the vacancy in the commissionershlp
caused by the election of George L.
Baker as mayor. Baker has pledged
himself to vote for the third highest
man in the race for commissioner. Tlw
closeness- of the contest between Mann
and Kellaher, and the Tact that the
latter received more first choice votes
than Mann, puts Kellaher in a strong
position a the logical candidate for
the coming vacancy.

An American armed merchant liner,

and a half, has sunk one of th

The identity of the steamer and the
place of the engagement is withheld
for the present.
But not since ruthless warfare was
declared has a more thrilling story
of a naval encounter come over the
cables to the state department.
The American vs.el was manned
by a naval gun crew which com-
prised the pick of the service.
Instead of avoiding an engage

until the submarine came within
range. Then the two vessels fought
for more than an hour and a half.
