Till' army draft bill jmssctl Iy, Congress and approved by the president provides for the registration for military duty of all males between the ayes of 21 and 30. inclusive, that is including those in their :Ust year. June 5 lias been named as registration day, and those who fail to register are subject to imprisonment from (j months to one year. There is no alternative fine. About 11,000,000 citizens will be registered, of whom 500,000 will be called out for training in September as the first unit of the new army. The selections will be made by drawings, a lottery wheel being used to insure impartial ity. Later, if the war continues, another f00,000 will be drawn and as needed, additional units of half a million each drafted. The period of service is for the length of the war. All who present themselves for registration shall be deem ed to have volunteered for military service and are so car ried upon the rolls of the organizations- to which they may be assigned. Numerous exemptions to the draft law are provided, as follows: 1. The offieers, legislative, executive, judicial, of the United States and the several states and territories. 2. Duly ordained ministers of religion tfnd those pre paring for the ministry in theological and divinity schools. .'!. All persons in the military and naval service of the United States. 4. .Members of well recognized religious sects or or ganizations whose creed forbids its members to participate in war in any form and whose religious convictions are against war or participation therein. 5. - Custom house clerks, persons employed by the Unit ed States in transmission of mails, artificers and workmen employed in the federal armories, arsenals and navy yards, and such other persons employed in the service of the United States as ihe president may designate. (i. Pilots and mariners actually employed in sea ser vice of any citizen or merchant within the United States. 7. Persons engaged in industries including agriculture found to be necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or the effective! operation of the military forces or the maintenance of national interest during the war. i 8. Those with families or persons dependent upon Uieni for support, which renders their exclusion or dis charge advisable. ! 9. Those found physically or mentally deficient. 10. Medical students until graduation only. No exemption or exclusion shall continue when a cause therefor no longer exists. Notwithstanding exemptions above numerated, each state is required to supply its quota in the proportion that its population bears to the total population. ' The president is empowered to make, rules and regula tions to carry out the terms and provisions and provide for issuance of certificates of -exemption, and for a system to exclude and discharge individuals from the selective draft. Local tribunals are to be created under the discretion of the president, composed of members of the local civil gov ernment, to pass upon and decide all questions of exemp tion, draft, discharge, etc. ' All persons of the required age must register, whether citizens or not. Aliens. art not subject to draft, but the government desires u record of them, .Registration booths will be open from 7 a. in. to 9 p. in. on June 5, the booths corresponding with the regulaivojing pjaces.

All the German papers print the news of the arrival of Ihe American destroyer flotilla in I'.uropean waters under n single headline. The I.okal Anzeier heads the item: "Xow the Americans." In striking contrast to the dilly dallying and blckerrhgs of congress, the prompt action of the war depart ment stands out In marked compar ison In the manner in which orders began flying out over tho wires In a few minutes after the president had signed tho army conscription measure. Yesterday within an hour or two orders had been received In -Modford to Immediately proceed to recruit tho Seventh Company to full war strength In anticipation of tho call to the colors on July 15, on which date all coast artillery trops are to bo mobllied. As the conscription provisions of the army bill are to be carried into effect on June 5, enlistments in the national guard organizations will be greatly stimulated. For many rea sons enlistment in a national guard organization Is to be desired owing to to probability of advancement and re ceiving commissions In the army to be conscripted. It has been announced by the war department that 10,000 officers and non-convmlssloned offi cers will be selected from the regu lars and national, guard organiza tion:, for at.lgnment to tho new army to l.c formed under the selective draft ::; ?l ::u September. This will open up cnori.'.nltlcs thut will bo available to those qualified for commissions, and who wore not eligible or did not get a place In the officers training camps already established. Captain Vance states that about 35 enlistments can be received In the 7th company before the maximum of 150 Is reached, and It is expected that this number will apply for n place In the company within the next few days, after which no further en listments can be accepted. Opportu nity for advancement In the 7th com pany is still open to the new enlist ments, ub it Is not intended to make tho appointments of sergeants and corporals until the full number of 150 has been reached, after which the selections will bo made from those best qualified for tho places. Thoro are 10 sergeants and 15 corporals to bo appointed In the Seventh company. As these appointments are made by the captains of the various organiza tions based oii the qualifications of tho men themselves, the opportunity Is open for any member of the organ ization to make rapid advancement through the 7th company and thence ns nn officer In the new army to 1te called In Soptembei. Two members of, tho 7th company have already been selected for appointment to the officers' training camp 111 San Fran cisco, and will report for duty next woek. Aside from tho advantage of being a non-commissioned oflcer. the difference in puy Is nn important item, as under tho army bill just passed the pay for non-coms runs as high lis $50 or $ 0 per month, besides exemption from spud peeling and other equally obnoxious duties of tho prlvato soldier. It Is Intended to at once begin a school for those ambitious to secure appointment to the non-com staff of the 7tb company. In order that the company will be fullyorganlzed and ready for the call to duty on July 15. Captain Vance expects to entrain with a company fully capable of sus taining the high record set by the company in the past, and ready "to take its place In line wherever duty calls. mers Small Enough for Five Big Enough for Seven mm Ctalmen 7-Passenger Touring Car Price $1475 Detroit Many enra that are delightful for five ore impossible for seven.
