H. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY MAY 30. 1917. and punish every man who next Tuesday fails in his duty to reg ister. Let this fact be well known and impressed on all lia able to registration. The draft ing or selection or tne soldiers will not take place until July, and their enlistment will not be until September. This registration next Tuesday is so important a matter that we devote much space in this issue to it. We hope that our readers will fully explain it to those who cannot read or who do not take a newspaper. Ignorance of the law does not excuse anybody. and therefore it is highly impor tant for this law to be fully un derstood by all who may be af ected by it. Murder most brutal was the act of the Germans in areoplanes who recently killed and wound ed over two hundred unoffend ing women and children in a A i.1 i. 4- town on me suuuieast coast ui ,j u, t register next Tueariav tn No naked sKvages of 1 . u-i. j.... GOV. BICKETT EXPLAINS DRAFT Gov. Bickett has issued a time ly proclamation calling, on those England. No naked ssvages any country could have commit ted a more inhuman act. With out any warning, and while these women and children were crowd ed in a street the German aero planes flew over them and hurled many bombs in their midst, kill ing 76 and wounded 174. Such a brutal murder of non-combatants is. against all the rules of civilized war and ought to be de nounced by all persons who pre tend to have any human feelings. So many brutal murders have been committed by the Germans during this dreadful war that they deserve defeat and the de nunciation of all civilized na tions. There is no use of some per sons trying to make political cap ital out of our war with Ger many. In both the Senate and House of Representatives Demo ocrats and Republicans were al most unanimous in their voting for our declaration of war. There was no party or political line drawn, and neither party can claim all the credit nor be shoul dered with all the blame for our being at war with Germany. President Wilson did all he could do to avert this war While ex President Roosevelt was clamor ing for war, and ex-President Taft has frequently expressed his approval of Wilson's course. No time now for anybody to be blaming anybody else, but all true Americans must show their patriotism by standing solidly to gether in their support of their government. The registration next Tuesday will be an occasion long to be re membered. On that day be tween the hours of seven in the morning and nine at night all men in the United States be tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one must go to their usual voting place and there be registered. Cards will be fur nished on which are printed ques tions which must be answered by every person liable to registra- tion. a iaiiure to register is a misdemeanor and punishable by twelve months imprisonment. We hope that there will be no "slackers" in North Carolina, but that every man will prompt ly respond to his country's call. If he is not patriotic enough to register he may be influenced by the fear of punishment. There is to be no "fooling" about this registration, and therefore we wish to impress on our readers its importance. As we have heretofore stated the act of registration does not necessarily mean that you must go to the war, for only a small part or fraction of those who reg ister will be drafted, The larg er the number of those register ed the less will be the chance of each one being drafted, and therefore it is to the interest of those who register to get others to register. For instance, if 100 men must be furnished by this county and 1000 register next Tuesday, then only one out of very ten will be drafted; but if only 500 register then one out of every five will be drafted. Thus you see that everybody is inter ested in making all register who are liable to military service. It will be very mortifying to the friends of every man who next Tuesday fails in his duty and is arrested, for there is no chance to escape arrest. The whole power of our great gov ernment will be used to arrest be sure to discharge that duty and thus avoid arrest. He ex plains the provisions of the law fully, and for the further infor mation or our readers we copy the following from his proclama tion: "(1) That the registration books will open at 7 a. m. on Tuesday, the 5tb day of June. and close at 9 p. m. KD That it is important to register early in the day in order to avoid congestion in the closing hours. '('6) That the law applies to white and black alike. Minis ters and teachers of the colored I race are requested to emphasize the tact that all colored men be a . i . i tween tne prescriDea ages are required to register in precisely the same manner as the whites. "(4) That no physical disabil ity will excuse a man for failing to register. If he is between 21 and 31 years of age he must reg ister in person or send his card, no matter what his physical con dition may be. The question of exempting him from service on account of physical unfitness will be determined at a later dav. It in no way affects the obligation imposed upon him to register. (5) That if a party wilfully fails to register he will forthwith be arrested. Our people must be given to understand that they have no discretion in this mat ter. If their names do not ap pear on the registration cards when they are canvassed a war rant will be sworn out against them at once. I sincerely trust that not a man in North Caro lina will be arrested for failing to do his duty. ...... - " (6) That of the men who reg istes on the 5th day of June prob ably not moee than one out of twelve will be drawn for service on the first call. But if a man shows any disposition to avoid or evade his responsibility he will probability be the first man who will be sent to the training camps. In everv conceivable asnpft it Rales for Registering. Every man who is ever twenty-one and under thirty-one years of age, white and colored, must go next Tuesdav to the voting place of his precinct and register for "the selective draft." Ev ery person registering must be prepared to answer certain ques tions which will be on a card in the hands of the registrar. These questions are set out be low with detailed information to help you answer them. Do not write on, mark or oth erwise mutilate these instruc tions. Do not remove them. They should be carefnily read so that you will have your answers ready when vou go before the registrar. All answers will be written on the registration card in ink by the registrar, who should be careful to spell all names correctly and to write legibly. 1. Name in full. Age in years. This means all your names spelled out in full. State your age today in years only. 2. Home address. This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. 3. Date of birth. Write your birthday (month, day and year) on a piece of pa per betore going to the registrar and give the paper to him the tirst thing. Example: "August 5. 1894 " 4. Are you (1) a natural-born citizen; (2) a naturalized citizen; (3) an alien; (4) or have vou de clared your intention to become a citizen (specify which).? 5. Where were vou born? rirst name the town, then the state, then the country. If not a citizen, of what coun try are you a citizen or subject? This need be answered only bv aliens and declarants. What is your present trade, occupation or office? This does not ask what vou once did, nor what you have done most of the time nor what you are best fitted to do. It asks what your job is right now. 8. By whom employed? Where employed? If you are working for an in dividual, firm, corporation or as sociation, state its name. If in business, trade, profession or employment f jr yourself, so state. If you are an officer of the state or federal government, sav whether your office is under the United States, the state, the county or a municipality. In an swer to the question as to where vou are employed, give the town. county, ana state wnere you work. felon or otherwise morally defi-cient-and desire tu claim exemp tion on that ground, state your ground briefly- If you claim physical disability, state that briefly. If you claim exemption on any other ground, state jour ground briefly. Forost Fires in Chatham. Editor of The Record: The reports on forest fires dur ing 1916 for the various town ships of Chatham county have recently been received and com piled by the state forester. Four corresDondents reDlied i frm b townshiDS. v ho renorterl 6 fires which burned ever 2,125 acres. It is estimated that $5. 010 worth ot merchantable tim ber was destroyed: that 100 acres of young growth was burned over, valued at $500. Other loss es were sustained, making the total loss from these fires $5,735. It was est;mated that $200 was spent in an effort to extinguish these fires. The people of Chatham should I not be indifferent to these losses. especially when those best in tormed say that most of these hres could have been prevented by proper measures. ' When it is realized that one of the state's chief assets is her for ests and that many of her prin cipal industries are dependent upon the products of these for ests, the jeopardizing not only of our present timber supply but also of our future sunnlies he comes a very serious matter Ihe establishment of an effctive system of forest fire patrol by the state would do much toward eliminating the waste, and. in view of the fact that fires do not recognize county or township lines, such a system should be under state supervision. It is hoped that the people of Chat ham county will become aroused to this situation and see to it tint their Representatives in the next legislature are alive to the im portance of this question.

Fire at Burlington. Special to the Greensboro News. Burlington, May 28. A fire which threatened to wipe out a whole city block broke out in the second story of the Walker cafe on Davis street here this morn and gave the firemen a hard fight. When discovered about 5 o'clock smoke was belching from the windows and bv the time th fire company arrived on the scene the whole building and perhaps the block, seemed doomed. The upper floor contained bed rooms, and the two front rooms were occupied by a Mr.Satterfield and Wesley Cable, and these had barely time to escape with their lives, losing all their belongings in the fire. On account of its inaccessibility the firemen had a hard time getting a stream of water on the fire, and not until Chief Love had made a hole in the brick wall did they get a stream directly on the blaze.

Special to the Greensboro News. Mount Airy, May 25. Mrs. Adelaide Bunker, widow of Chang tsunKer, one of the Siamese twins died at her home last Mondav morning at the age of 93. Mrs. Bunker was a native of Wilkes county and was born in 1823. It was there that she and her sister Sallie Yates met the noted Siamese twins, Eng and Chang Bunker, and were married in J 842. A few years after they married the twins having travel ed extensively over the civilized world decided to seek a perma nent home and chose the rugged lootnuis ot the Blue Rid ore moun tains in Surry county as an ideal place. Having accumulated con siderable wealth in their travels they purchased large farms near Mount Airy, and it was there they lived until their death in 1874 at the age of 63 years. The twins died onlv a few hours apart, each left a wife and 10 sur viving children. The two were buried in the same grave on the home place of Chang where Mrs. Bunker lived until death.
