THE GREAT WAR
Congress has passed a law pro
viding that on June 5 every male
citizen between the ages of 21
and 31 shall report to the polling
place in the voting precinct where
he resides and there register.
Heavy penalties will be enforced 1
upon those who fail to comply, j
The object of this registration is j
not to conscript all men between I
these ages for immediate service.'
It is estimated that 10,000,000
are subject to registration. The j
Government must know at once
what man power it has to de
pend upon. It must have means
of discriminating, so as to know
what men should be kept for ag
ricultural work or other occupa
tions, what men should be em-1
ployed in ship yards and muni- j
tion factories and what should '
undertake military and naval i
In August or September 500,
()0() men, or one in 20 of those
who register, will be called to the
colors and will begin to undergo j
training t<> make them effective |
soldiers. Later on others will be !
called,- the number being de-;
termined by the duration of the i
war and its magnitude.
The Arkansas State Council of 1
Defense urges all patriotic citi- j
zens and organizations in Ark an-!
sas to make arrangements at
once to hold public meetings on
June 5, and provide patriotic
programs. The initiative may ,
be taken by any individual or or
ganization.
The Arkansas State Council of
Defense at Little Rock will pre
pare within a few days and will
send to any citizen who will re
quest it a pamphlet elaborating ,
on the causes and objects of the
war and what America must do ■
to win it.
We now call on all patriotic
citizens to assist the registration
committee of each county in per- *
forming its duties on June 5; in j
urging men who are liable to '
registration to do “their bit,”
and in making of -registration
day an occasion to show to the 1
wuuu marine Diooa or tne patri
ots of the Revolution still throbs
in the viens of American freemen.
Other States will answer our
country’s call. Let the people
so conduct themselves that in
the years to come no descendant 1
of ours shall ever have cause to
teel ashamed of the star that
represents us in the Hag which
the world has learned to honor as
the emblem of liberty.
