"PRECINCTS ARE
CROWDED EARLY
Many Lined up Here Before
7 O'clock—Same is True
in Fargo..
The first military registration day in
the history of the United States began
all over the country at 7 o'clock this
morning, and reports from every
where Indicate that the registration
booths were doing a rushing business
from the very start.
United States Marshal Doyle in Far
go who had his agents stationed at all
points in North Dakota, reported this
forenoon that registration was pro
ceeding in an orderly way, and that
there were no anti-registration dem
onstrations taking place anywhere.
The marshal felt confident that no
troubles would occur, and that the es
timate of North Dakota's registration
contingent, 89,000 men, would hold
good.
Precincts Crowded Early.
In Grand Forks, the historic day
was characterized by eager throngs
hurrying to the precinct booths from
the early morning hours. At 7 o'clock
the factory whistles blew for several
minutes, and the church bells were
ringing to remind the manhood of the
city of its patriotic duty. The weath
er was cloudy and the sky leaden in
the morning hours .but no fear wan
expressed that rain would disturb the
festivities scheduled for this after
noon.
'Everywhere citizens spoke with en
thusiasm of the opportunity which
the day afforded for the young men of
Qrand Forks to offer themselves for
the sake of the nation. And every
one realized deeply that the fate and
the future of the nation depend on the
strength of the army and the navy of
the United States. The fact that the
government has decided. to send
American troops to the European bat
tlefields added zest to the enthusiasm
with which men registered in all pre
cincts, and it was the ardent hope of
eyery Qne: who wanted, to fight that he
be allowed to participate in tern* real
fighting"dn Battlefields alrefitfy sO&Kfed
Seld
^dually, iM men or .ttofc
efty have come to the realization that
America, means business when golng^t
to war against Teutonic' autocracy,
and this fact accounts to some extent
for the absence of anti-registration
troubles here. It is not thought that
the remainder of the day will be any
different from the beginning in this
respect. But,- on the contrary, it Is
freeljr predicted that patriotic en
thusiasm will increase from hour to
hour until it reaches^its climax in the
trade and speeches -which will be
this afternoon.

General Maurice Predicted
Greatest Undertaking in
World's History.
(By Associated Press.)
All the signs which herald a great
offensive are reported from the Brit
ish front in France. Repeated an
nouncement has been made of a tre
mendous artillery duel In progress
around the Belgian village, Wyt
schaete, five miles south of Wytles
and from this point as far couth as
the famous Vimy Ridge. Thirty miles
away the guns are 'roaring day and
night, apparently indicating that Gen
eral Haig has chosen this wide sector
for his next big blow. It is recalled
that General Maurice, director general
of military operation, predicted some
weeks ago to the Associated Press that
the next British offensive would be on
the mightiest scale than any which
preceded it. The great importance of
the IVytschaete salient lies in the fact
that it Is the only high land between
the British and Lille. Once in posses
sion of the British, their guns would
command the broad plain between
Palntl and Lille for ten miles.
The opening of the Austrian par
liament has caused something akin to
consternation In the German press,

(By Associated Press.)
America is stepping forward today
to do her part in making the world
safe for democracy.
In every city and town, in ths most
remote valley, hamlet and at the wild
est mountain cross road, 100,000,000
sons of liberty are inscribing their
names on the honor roll of the ages,
that the free government for which
their fathers died may not perish from
the earth.
White or black, married or single,
sick or well, alien or native born en
emy subjects—all between the ages of
21 and 31 are expected to present
themselves today between 7 a. m. and
p. m. for registration. It does not
matter that a man for any reason is
unfit for army duty. That will be es
tablished later. It does not matter
that he may be entitled to exemption
from army service, that will be at
tended to in another way. It does not
matter that he is not a citizen of the
United States. Everyone must regis
ter.
Those between ages of 21 and 21
are required to register today unless
he already is in the military service
in some branch or other.
Not Yet Drafted.
To register is not to be drafted.
That is another step in'the great plan
when the first increment of 60,000
men probably will be called to the
colors for training early in Septem
ber before they go to the battle front.
After they have been drafted the
question of exemption will come up
to be decided by a fair and Impartial
board. In the meantime today's duty
is registration. The'long arm of the
federal law is reaching out to seise
those who seek to evade the first to

PROFESSOR ELMER
DESCRIBES BERLIN
London, June 6, 4:07 a. m.—The
Times today prints the first of a series
of articles written by Frederick But
ton Delmer, an Australian, who be
fore the war held a lectureship In
Berlin university but was Interned at
the Ruhben prison camp until March,
1916. Later he was permitted to re
side in Berlin and recently allowed
to come to London-
Prof. Delmer In his article expresses
astonishment at the abundance of 1
food, taxlcabs and horses In London
as compared with those in Berlin.
"The consumption of food in Ger-j
many now is reduced to a point be- I
low which it cannot go without dls
aster to public health," says Prof. Del
mer. Nevertheless, the writer adds,
the people In Germany manage to get
along and although they grumble a
good deal they do not dream of giv
ing in or slackening their efTorts. He
says it would be utterly misleading to
think that any German collapse Is yet
in sight.
