TAX IS A VITAL SOME STATES FINISH COUNT SUBJECT TO DEATH PENALTY LEAK III MAIL TO GERMANY FOUN THE ROOKIE Reports From Governor Throughout Country Indicate That Enrollment le In Excess Of 10,000,000. Quiet Reported Everywhere. Washington. More than 10,000,000 young Americana enrolled themselves Tueaday (or war service. Registration day, with but a few week of preparation, law tbe Bret military cenaua ever taken In the Unit ed States completed without a tingle untoward event of consequence. The manhood of the nation obeyed tbe President's call and volunteered en bass, setting at naught all the schemes and plotting of German sympathizers and tbe few cranks who have agitated against registration. It remains but to select tbe men who are to go to the front. From virtually every state reassur ing messages came to Brigadier-General Crowder, Provost Marshal-General, Federal supervising officer of the great enterprise. In some precincts the late comers forced officials to keep the polls open until long after tbe 9 P. M. closing hour set in the regulations. General Crowder authorized them to keep open aa long as men wished to enroll tbem elves. The result will be further to delay the transmission of returns, bow aver. The early reports, showing a full turnout all over tbe country, Indicated that the estimates of the Census Bu reau as to the number of men within the specified age limits would be veri fied by the count. Wherever partial figures were authoritative tbe esti mates checked closely. A typical message received was that from Idaho: "Registration will be 100 per cent," It said. "Spontaneous and Without murmur or Incident." The situation was so clear and the response so ready throughout the country that Governors of 46 of the 48 states bad sent similar assurances long before registration bad closed, and the other two were close on their It eels. A feature of the registration was the refusal of hundreds of thousands of men to make any reply to the ques tion, "Do you claim exemption?" Even men who reported that they had de pendent families; men with obvious physical disabilities and those whose occupations are certain to keep them at home declined to make such a claim. Apparently they have entered fully Into the very spirit cf the law. They are content to leave the question f exemption to the exemption boards. Tbey have no claims to make, but are ready . to do their share, whatever it may be. Many Yet To Register. There remain several supplementary ateps to be taken. Tuesday's registra tion included only continental United States. Alaska and Hawaii will rec ord their fighting men on dates to be set later, and the roll of Americans now abroad, who are beselglng con sulates all around the world for reg istration cards, will add to the great list. The State Department was called upon for additional cards by tbe thou sand. Few eleventh-hour rulings were found necessary. The system devised by General Crowder of invoking the political machinery of the natlcn In the task worked with a smoothness that spoke of perfect co-operation by tate, county and municipal officials. Free Yet To Enlist. General Crowder made it clear, how ever, that registration acted as a bar against no man who wished to enlist In the army, navy or marine corps. Any man who enrolled himself Tues day, but whose patriotic Impulse bids liim step into the ranks now and not await selection day, will pass from tbe registration lists automatically. A man may take his choice as to the part of the great national army In which be will serve regulars, National Guard or selective army. Many cards mailed by men absent from their home precincts failed to show the present address of the indi vidual. Four Arrests Reported. Only four arrests were officially re port rdt o the Department of Justice at Hamilton, Ohio; Hartford, Conn.; Richmond, Va., and at a small place near St. Louis. Quieter Than Election. Official reports showed that the reg istration passed without even such ex citing disturbances as mark a general political election. Reports were slow In coming into the Department of Jus tice, which was gratifying to officials because it Indicated lack of trouble, in Tiew of the strict instructions sent everywhere to report trouble instantly to Washington. Cards Ran Out. There was some delay in Gary, Ind., and in some Chicago districts because the registration had to be stopped to permit the printing of more cards, reg istration exceeding nil expectations. In Texas, where the Government's Investigation of the antlconscriptlen activities of tbe Co-operative Buying Association recently led to the indict ment of nine men, growing out of threats cf armed resistance to con scriptions, the registration was car rled out without a hitch. Clevelund and Detroit reported to th War Department that registration wa nd completed at 9 o'clock and th Governors of Ohio and Michigan wen authorized to order tbe polls In eacr city to itay open until all were reg, Istered. In Cleveland a shortage of reglstra tlon cards developed during the day, and until more could be printed reg isters were instructed to take tbo names and addresses of applicants and to canvass them at their homes. No Hint Of Slacking. Registration day development were summarized by the committee on pub lic Information in the following state ment: "Nearly 10,000,000 Americans of military age registered for service In , the army against Germany. The regis tration was accomplished in a fashion measuring up to the highest standards of Americanism. Tbe young men came to the registration places en thusiastic; there was no hint of a slacking spirit anywhere, except in a few cases where misguided persons had been prevailed upon to attempt to avoid their national obligation. The Government officials, who bad pro fessed the highest confidence in the patriotism of the young men of tbe nation, were deeply gratified at the result; it transcended their highest expectations. Conspiracies Fall. "From every state reports were re ceived chawing that the sporadic con spiracies to thwart the first step to ward the mobilization, of as large aa army as the country may need to bring the war to a victorious conclusion had failed utterly. The Department of Justice had a tremendous machinery ready to cope with these conspiracies, but it proved to be unnecessary. Late this afternoon the department had not received a report of a Bingle arrest, and the only arrest officially reported to any governmental body occurred in Virginia, where one man who de nounced the Government and tbe flag was promptly taken into custody. This report came to the office of the provost marshal, General Crowder. INDIANS RESIST LAW. Navajoes Drive Registration Officials From Reservation. Flagstaff, Ariz. Navajo Indians drove an Indian agent and other Fed eral officers off the Government Reser vation 100 mile northeast of here, when the latter went to register the Indians under the War Army Selective Draft bill, according to advices reach ing here. The Federal officers feared the Indians would go on the warpath if further attempts were made to register them, It was reported. Utes Take To Hills. Ignacla, Col. Ute Indians on their reservation near here refused to regis ter under the Selective Draft act and spent most of the day dancing war rnd "bear" dances in native costume. MOUNTAINEERS REGISTER. No Trouble In the Tennessee and Vir ginia Districts. ' Bristol, Tenn. Twelve hundred and nineteen registered In Bristol Tues day. A considerable percentage of tbe men claimed exemption from lia bility to military service for various reasons. Reports from over Upper Tennessee and Southwest Virginia in dicate that there was no opposition whatever to the Registration. In the mountain sections, where It was thought that there might be hostilities to the registration, It is reported that ail men between the ages registered. Two hundred members of a local fra ternal order marched in a body to the polls and registered amidst the cheers of a huge crowd. CONVICTS TERRORIZE JOLIET. Fire Buildings and Attempt To Escape Prison. Jolirt, 111. After one prisoner had been killed, eight severely Injured and several others hurt during three riot ous outbreaks at the state prUon by a thousand convicts, a rainstorm drove the last 200 of the mutineers to tbe cellhouse, although they had stubborn ly refused to move before the bayonets of national guardsmen who quelled the outbreak. Fires set within the prison buildings destroyed the prison yard buildings, entailing a total loss of $200,000. Several other buildings were damaged by the flames. The Secretary Enthusiastic Over the Work Of Provost Marshal Crow der and State and Muni cipal Officials.

No Disorder and Every Evidence Of Willingness Shown. New York. Without a semblance of disorder and with every evidence of willingness to serve, approximately 600,000 of Now York's sons went to 2,123 registration places aud Inscribed their names upon the nation's roll of honor. The entire city seemed to have sensed the significance and solemnity of the day. r.'icifir.b, antl-eon.-c-.'rt'oniBtH, "conscientious objec tors" and plain "slackers" kept their sentiments well concealed and at tempted no disturbance. Federal, State and city authorities, police and members of tho Homo De fense League, who were prepored for any emergency, had little to do except help the hard-working registers, who were literally overwhelmed in many precincts by long lines of young men presenting themselves for registration. Thousands of potential soldiers had to stand In line for hours awaiting their turn, but they endured the Ions wait phllosc:i'.i'.C!:lly. Washington. Seven States have made complete reports on Tuesday's war registration, showing 816,407 men registered, compared with the census estimate of their aggregate quota of 848,917. Governors of states In which the compilation of registration figures were completed, reported as follows: Wisconsin Registration, 211,401, divided as follows: White, 210,807; colored, 664; alien, 5,588; alien enemies, 28,709; Indicated possible ex emptions, 115,189; state's estimated eligibles, 229.897. Rhode Island Registration, 43,478, divided as follows: White, 37,442; colored, 867; alien, 15,043; alien ene mies, 126; Indicated possible exemp tions, 22,149; state's estimated eligi bles, 60,079. Arkansas Total registration, 147. 522, divided as follows: White, 102, 383; colored, 44,476; alien, 566; alien enemies, 98; indicated possible ex emptions, 99,196; state's estimated eligibles, 158,573. South Carolina Total registration, 128,039; divided as follows: White, 60,629; colored, 66,905; alien, 447; alien enemies, 68; Indicated possible exemptions, 85,381; state's estimated eligibles, 137,861. Connecticut Registration, 159,761, divided aa follows: White, 97,126; col ored, 2,990; alien, 58,519; alien ene mies, 1,126; indicated possible exemp tions, 61.590; state's estimated eligi bles, 158.287. Exemptions SO Per Cent Slow registration returns prevent anything approaching a conclusive estimate as to the number of men ac tually enrolled. An official statement, however, said such complete returns as were at hand indicated that the 10,200,000 estimate of the census bureau for total number of men with in the prescribed ages would not be equalled. A feature of the few complete re turns is the high percentage of indi cated exemptions, averaging approxi mately 60 per cent, of the total regis tration. Officials pointed out, how ever, that this did not mean actual exemptions, as the indicated figures include all married men and thnse in executive, judicial or legislative office. Until exemption regulations have been promulgated, it will be Impossible to say how many of these jvill be In cluded in those to be marked off the military rolls. The one conclusive result of the registration that cannot be altered in the slightest degree by any possible variation from the estimates is that millions of young Americans have put in their names, claiming no exemp tion and stating no reason for release from war service. General Crowder's Statement. Provost General Crowder Issued this statement: "Some published press reports are to the effect and figures received in tho office of the Trovost Marshal Gen eral indicate millions of claims for ex emption. These reports consist of conclusions erroneously drawn and very unjust to the young men of the country. As a matter of fact no claims whatever have been called for or received. Registration cards contain some questions that were asked solely for statistical reasons. The answers to these questions are tabulated in such a way as to show how many regis tered men are executive, judicial or legislative officers of the state or na tion, how many have wives or other relatives dependent upon them for support, how many are totally disabled and how many belong to religious sects opposed to war In any form, or are ordained ministers, or are engaged In certain Industries. Absolutely no statistics of this kind were extant be fore the registration, and such statis tics were necessary in drafting regu lations. Within these statistics are included the cards of a great propor tion who expressly stated that they intended to claim no exemptions, and of a vast number of others who made no statements whatever concerning exemptions. Indeed, there Is no index of the number of exemptions that will be claimed in the office of the Provost Marshal General. - Every effort should be made to eradicate the impression that has been given by the press re ports mentioned above.

OLD YPRES IS NOW AVENGED Key Position To All the Northern Sector Of the Western Front, and Even More Important Than Vimy Ridge. With the British Armies in France. In one of the most elaborately plan ned and daringly executed maneuvers of tbe war, Sir Douglas Haig's forces have dealt a mighty blow against the German line in Belgium and been re warded with notable gains in terrain and the capture of more than 5,000 prisoners and numerous guns of vari ous caliber. In addition, they Inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans. Over a front of more than nine miles, extending from the region of YpreB southward nearly to Armen tieres, the British started their drive, and everywhere advanced their line, capturing villages and numerous points of vantage, among the latter the Messlnes-Wystchaete Ridge, which commands the surrounding plains for miles, and wliich for two and a half years has been a troublesome salient. The villages of Mcsslnes and Wyte chaete fell Into the hands of the Brit ish during the attack and the British even pressed on eastward from Wyts chaete and occupied the village of Osttaverne, and trenches east of the village on a front of more than Ave miles. Probably never in history was an attack launched with greater prepara tion. For days the Wytschaete salient had been the objective of the British guns which had hurled tons of steel upon It When the time for the at tack came the British loosed mines containing 1,000,000 pounds of high ex plosives in front of the German posi tions, the detonations being heard 130 miles away in England. With consternation reigning among the Germans and under a curtain of fire, English, Irish, New Zealand and Australian infantrymen, with "tanks" to aid them started across the open. The Germans offered only slight re sistance and everywhere were beaten off. Great preparations are being made in France for the arrival of American troops. Already an American trans port containing food for them has ar rived In a French port and American warships are anchored off the French Coast. Camps have been prepared for all branches of the American forces who are expected. U. S. TO USE GERMAN FUNDS. Millions Held Here By War May Be Put Into Liberty Bonds. Washington.

U. S. ARMED LINER SEISDOIUIAT 60 Shots Fired in Hour and Half Running Battle. SIGHTED AT 7,000 YARDS 25th Shot Fired By American Naval Gunners Pierces U-Boat, Which Rears Out Of Water, Stern Up, and Then Sinks. Washington. A German submarine is believed to have been sunk by an armed American steamer In a running fight lasting an hour and a half, In which 35 shots were Bred by the sub marine and 25 by the steamer. An official announcement by the State De partment says the steamer's final shot "apparently struck the submarine, which raised clear out of the water and stood stern up for a few seconds. She then disappeared." Tbe department's announcement follows: "The Department of State Is ad vised by telegraph of an engagement between an armed American steamer and a submarine. Tbe guns of the steamer were manned by an Ameri can naval crew. The submarine was first seen at about 7,000 yards. She had a '6-inch gun forward and another aft. She flew no flag. "Upon sight of the submarine the steamer hoisted the American flag and waited for about 10 minutes. As the submarine approached the steamer fired. The submarine responded. The steamer kept a speed that would per mit the submarine to come within range. Then followed a fight lasting for an hour and a half. The sub marine came to a distance of about 2,300 yards. By that time the sub marine had fired 35 shots and the steamer 25. The last shot of the steamer apparently struck the sub marine, which raised clear out of the water and stood stern end up for a few seconds. Then she disappeared. The captain of the steamer and the commander of the guard believe that the submarine was sunk. The steam er suffered no damage." Paris. The defeat of a German submarine in a battle with the French steamer Orenoque la reported by the Ministry of Marine. The Orenoque, a vessel of 2,372 tons, was attacked in the Atlantic on April 22, while on her way to a West African port. The submarine was sighted, half submerged and headed for the steam er, while a heavy sea was running. The steamer captain immediately beat to quarters and opened fire. After the fourth shot the submarine disap peared. MANY KILLED BY TORNADO. JOFFRE AS GODFATHER. WANTS STALE BREAD USED. Economy Board Asks Bakers Not To Take It Back. Washington.

Three Men, Two Of Them Native Americans, Held In Hsavy Bail On the Charge Of Con spiring To Send Mall. New York. Evidence that two com. plete high-powered wireless installs' tlons, assembled here from various sources, were shipped piecemeal to Mexico, supposedly for use of a Ger man spy system in this country, was unearthed in connection with the ar rest of three men on charges of con spiring to send mall containing mill tary Information surreptitiously from the United States to Germany, through members of Norwegian ship crews.
