A national legUtrntlou day was advo
cated today by several officials, who pointed
out thnt many men eligible for military
mi vice are not listed with registrars.
Philadelphia')) full leglstratlou Is 303,923
men, accoidlng to 13. .1. Cattell, city statis
tician, based on population, thero are 307,
705 men between eighteen and forty years
old In tho city.
However, since last October, when tho
registration lists were compiled, about 15.
OOii young men hao become of age. It Is
estimated The total number of names of
cllglblo men not on tho lists It estimated
at about 40,000.
liecauso tho leglstratlon lists In the va
rious divisions aio not complete, olllcials
were strongly in favor of augmenting these
lists by a new legislation designed to ob
tain the names of men now not enrolled
ninong tho voters The piesent lists, it was
pointed out, affoid a good basis of opera
tion, not only because they contain the
names of nearly all men above the minimum
age limit for tho conscript aimy. hut be
cause they give tho occupations of the men,
as important feature In selective conscrip
tion. But tho incomplete nature of the lists,
It was held, makes It unfair to select the
fighters from them atone. Neither was It
deemed advli-ablo to cllsregaid tho voting
legislation lists altogether In gathering
data because of the possibility that there
mo "slacUcrs" willing to voto but not will
ing to bear aims.
MAY COMI3IN13 MI3THOD3
A combination of the voting lists and
of data obtained by a fresh registration
would be tho fairest means of picking tho
fighters, it vwia said.
"If a national registration day Is fixed,
It would bo a wise precaution to have the
work supervised by men with tho authority
of United States Marshals to enforce obedl
enco to tho rules of the legislation." sal-l
Hairy Stone, chief clerk of the County
Commissioners.
The registration In each voting division
4 coulil be completed In one day. It was es
timated. As soon as thu lists are complied,
8750 names will ho drawn from the total by
the "Jury wheel" system. Local exemption
boards then will pass on tho fitness of men
for army seilce, "weeding out" those phys
icahy unfit or whoso work Is of such a
natu o that It Is as essential as military
service. A ficsh tit awing then will fill up
tho gaps made hy tho exemptions.
PLAN OF GREEN CROSS
INDORSED AS WAR AID
Soldiers of the Soil Gain Re
cruits for Providing Nation's
Food Supply
Hundreds of tillers of the soil In Phila
delphia have Indorsed the proposed CJrcen
Cross. They bellevo it will be a thoroughly
appropriate symbol for the big nrmy of
garden and f.uni workeis throughout 'tho
country.
Although tho suggestion for such an or
ganization was mado by Miss Helga Bar
fod. of Merlon, just a few days ngo, a
large number of home gnideners nlready
have signified their Intention of joining
tho army which will be composed of sol
dlers of the soil.
Officials of numerous agricultural organi
zations together with settlement workers,
who know the beneficial results of out-door
work, have agreed to co-operate In every
way toward making the Green Cross a vig
orous army which shall battle for the pro
duction of food.
Secretary Houston, of the Department of
Agriculture, has been asked to approve the
plan nnd many bellevo that he will con
elder It favorably.
Among others who Indorsed tho proposed
organization today was Miss Clarissa Smith,
manager of tho Farm Service Department
of tho Bureau of Occupation for Trained
Women.
Miss Smith already has registered thou
sands of women for fnrm work this sum
mer. Many of them. In addition to pos
sessing scientific agricultural knowledge, are
practical farmers as well, and a large num-
ber of those engaged have already proved
this.
"The proposed Orcen Cross," said Miss
Smith, "meets my hearty approval.. It will
bo a fitting Insignia for the organizations
In such work and will serve to keep the
subject thoroughly before the public. Too
much stress cannot be laid on tho subject
of food production at this time. The peo
ple now realize that it has been greatly
neglected In the past. The fact that the
womon of the country are taking such
sincere Interest In agricultural work augurs
well for the future. I wttl be glad to co
operate in any way toward making the
Green Cross a success." "
Representatives, of several other organ
; Izatlons spoke along slllmar lines.
Arrangements are being rmtfle by those
Interested In tho formatlo ,nof the organi
zation tn. have nn Informal conference In
this city during the present week, at which
a temporary committee will be appointed
to launch the movement on broad lines.

Tho Covernrr says that under tho author

SENATE AND HOUSE GET BILLS
FOR GUARDING OF FOOD SUPPLY
WASHINGTON, Apt II 30.
The fighting to keep down rising war
prices of food took definite shape In the
House today when a Joint food conserva
tion resolution was introduced by Represen
tative Lever, of South Carolina, chairman
of the Agricultural Committee.
The same resolution will be presented
In the Senate by Senator CJorc.
The resolution empowers the Depattment
of Agrlcultuie to make a thorough survey
of the food situation throughout tho coun
try. Including an Investigation Into the
present amount of food available. Its loca
tion nnd tho sources of production. It Is
also offered as a basis of consldeiatlon of
tlnal legislation to stimulate production,
conservation and bring about an equitable
distribution and prevent excessive prices.

of which tho Wnr Oltlco hud refused to per

main reason for the tremendous losses of

adequate ammunition mil supplies.
Through showing this need a icotganlzatlon
of the war-making department wat achieved
by forco of public opinion
The Dally Mall today printed the follow
ing attack on tho Admiralty
It Is not the assurance that tho
best Britons In tho Admiralty are busy
with tho submarine problem that tho
nation looks for nnd means to have
We Insist upon results. Wo arc tired
of hearing grown-up men In gold braid
ropeatlng the parrot cry that there Is no
sovereign euro for submarines.
There was no sovereign cure for Zep
pelln raids until our airmen were sent
up to fight the Zeppelins There Is
sovereign cure for everything In war
fare, and It Is contained tho one
word fighting.
Command of the sea Is nrv a mys
tery which can he hidden awa In huge
battleships that have to b kept In
safety. It Is a power that re- s In the
hands of the men who use It.
In using the word "fighting" wo are
thinking of the Irresistible energy and
nggresslvo temper that arc required for
the direction of a fighting machine. Our
fleet will do anything It Is given to di.'
but It Is helpless If the high command
Is feeble.
It needed violent press agitation and
much newspaper burning to sting the
War Office Into life two years ngo. and
the nation has seen the lesult on tho
western front In the last few months.
Apparently the same process must be
applied to tho Admiralty.

"Many men who oilglnally worked on

tho manufacturers, "and If theso men can

Tito Agticultural Department plan for

higher grnln extraction In milling, ran
against strong opposition when It was pre

"We have not jet arrived at that condi
