Messer New Registrants Must r 1 ;«« • j t c _ Give Vaned Information Men between 18 and 45 who new man power register under the . bill will be required to furnish per sonal information much more var ied and extensive than has been secured from registrants of mili tary age's in previous enrollment. I a .synopsis erf the registration card prepared by the Provost Marshal General shows. It will carry twen- j ty separate questions. A number j of the questions deal with citizen -1 ship and the registration card will fully define the nativity of each man, the information presume assisting in applying the military service regulations of allied na 1 tioms to their nationals. j employers also are demanded. As a final point the card requires names and addresses of nearest re ; latives, and the place where the registrant ordinarily receives mail : This is desired to eliminate the j difficulties that local Exact occupation status and ! place of employment and names of exemption ; boards have had in keeping in : touch with men registered in their ' districts. Registration certificates, slight ly different in form but not in sub stance from those issued to regis ! trants between the ages of 21 and j 31 will be given to men who regis ter under the extended age limits. The card will be blue and will measure 2 1-2 by 4 inches. Prospects of the crippling of railroad operations by the drafting of skilled employes have become so serious that the railroad adminis tration took steps to call the situa tion sharply to the attention of President Wilson and Secretary Baker, with the idea of formulat ing some systematic plan for giv ing deferred classificâtion to rail road men. THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN No Escape from Responsibility The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan begins September 28 and closes October 19. While the amount has not yet been announc ed, it is generally conceded it will be for a larger amount than any of the preceding loans. The Ameri can people, therefore, are called upon to raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length of time than ever before. There is need, therefore, for prompt action— prompt and efficient work and prompt and liberal subscriptions. We have a great inspiration for a great effort. The news from the battle front inspires every Ameri 10311 heart, not only with pride and patriotism but with a great incen tive to do his or her part. There is no shirking, no shifting of the in ; dividual burden, no selfishness by ! American soldiers in France; there should be none here. We are both supporting the same country and the same cause—*our Army in one way, ourselves in another. Theirs is the harder part, but at least we can do our part as promptly and loyally and efficiently as they do theirs. You and I live today, not yester day, not tomorrow. Our lot has been cast in the time of a world crisis and we cannot escape from the responsibilities of that crisis. The Kaiser, not being in accord with the progess of civilization, is barking up the wrong tree and his armies have chosen to march up a blind alley. And yet the inevitable progress goes on. You cannot escape it. Either you, too, are marching up a blind alley or you are on the broad highway that leads over hill and dale and finally gets somewhere. You say that, for your part, you . ff"; Wi "'I m ■f ■ . « . >fty - t; ■ji V •- -6% > v. ■'•Ti AT Ï ÿ ' ; ? j. . a r~ !. t II! \ Ï v ■ n 1 .TV y,' * i ■à; . !

Well, then, don't block it by standing still. j The Fourth Liberty Loan is just j twenty-fouir days ahead of us and the speed of its advancing army of i workers will soon be at top notch. ! Be the one to set the pace. You j cannot escape from your influence upon the pace of others. Don't wait ; for somebody else to start some- : thing. Start it yourself. If you start the wrong thing, when the man comes around to "kick" who i should have started the thing right, ask him where he was when we crossed the twenty-four day limit. It is not alone our own vacations —God knows we needed them—but it is also the vacations of other men entirely outside that have put juist a little mid-summer friction into the wheels and slowed them up a bit. See to it that the Liberty Loan is the very first thing to at tract the vacationists attention and let him know that for him, too, there is no escape from the dread ful responsibility. Burglars at Christiana Two burglars entered the home of Mrs. Samuel Slocum at Chris tiana early Friday morning and made away with all the family sil ver, ten dozen of eggs and many articles of value. Mrs. Slocum was awakened by the noise of a man searching through the closet in her room, and asked what he was doing there,.but he calmly continued his plundering, and when finished, walked from the room, joining an other man who had rifled the first floor. Mrs. Slocum then called for help and alarmed the neighbor hood. Posses were formed and the entire countryside scoured, but no trace of the robbers could be found. Employers Asked to Report Slacking All persons employing men of draft age are requested by the Dis trict Exemption Board to report "slacking" on the part of employ ees. Charles Warner, chairman of the Board sent the following letter to employers: "Wilmington, Aug. 28, 1918. "Dear Sir: The District Board for the State of Delaware again wishes to call your attention to your duty as an employer, and as an America.ry citizen, to immediate ly, and at all times report to this board when any man of draft age leaves your employ or is inclined towards frequent absence from service, to the extent of not mak ing at least the minimum prescrib ed hours of employment in your es tablishment We , hav ® a number of registrants are laying off from work regularly each week, Will you kindly submit this in formation promptly, for the inter est of the country during the pres ent National emergency ?
