By United Press Washington, May 15. The war department today made the followntg announcements regarding the regis tration of citizens liable to draft: "The war department wishes to impress upon the people that there Is only one day for registration. All males between the designated ages moat register on the day set. The fact that five days were allowed for the placing of the necessary blank form In the hands of registrars ap pears to have misled some head line writers. One day only the day fixed in the President's proclamation will be devoted to registration. "The war department is gratified by the spontaneous offers of uncom pensated assistance in carrying out the woik of registration. "One father in offering to serve as registrar writes: '1 have two sons In the guard and one in the regular army hut 1 want to do my own lit-) tie bit.' This is typical of hundreds' of letters. All such offers properly sh rou Id be made to the governors who are the heads of the registration nia-, chlnery of their respective sVates. "It should be elearly understood j that no male resident of the 1'nlted j States between the designated ages is excused from registration unless he Is already in the military or naval service of the United States; that is,! a member of the regular army or' navy, the marine corps, coast guard service or that part of the national guard now actually lit the federal j service. Registration is distinct from selective service. Registration is a necessary preliminary to the later process of selection. "It is useless to ask registrars to excuse any one from registration. The registrar has no such power. No one can suspend the law requiring nil to register. "It is important that all shall un derstand the significance of registra tion and it is hoped that the day will be approached in the spirit with which the government has appointed it. Democracy is It's assencu. No one can absent himself, nor can the well to do man hire another to represent him on the occasion. The country's manhood will present itself on this day and by so doing will say in effect: 'Mere am I. Take me.' "Not only has the individual citl- xenry of the country made a remark- i able response to the registration call, but the states through their official heads have indicated such zeal that there 1b great rivalry among some of the commanwealths for the honor of making the first complete regletratoin returns. COUNTER ATTACK FIELD MARSHAL HAIG REPORTS TREMENDOUS GERMAN ItOM BARDMENT OE POSITIONS RE CENTLY GAINED (By United Press) London, May IB. Germany launch ed a concerted counter attack on both the French and British fronts today of such force as to suggest an almost general counter offensive movement. The attacks were repulsed for the most part, but both the British and French were compelled to relinquish a few insignificant bits of ; round. Field Marshall Halg reported a tremendous German bombardment of positions which his troops had gained along the Ilindeuburg line and parti cularly at Bullecourt. Bombardment was followed by attacking waves of heavy fighting in the northern part of the village. Halg stated frankly that Iliitlsh advanced posts were fore ed back a short distance. The French report showed violent bombardment of General Nivelle's re cently gained positions on Lodis High way and powerful German attacks over a wide front. Near Labouvelle the assault was repulsed by machine gun fire except in one spot where there was a small advance and a trench was occupied. SCHOOL SUPT. REPORTS FOR DUTY Hertford, N. C, May 15. Profes sor L. R. Crawford, Superintendent of the Hertford Graded School left Monday night for Oglethorpe, Ga., where he was ordered to report for the Officers Reserve Training Corps. "I have already seen active ser vice in the Philippine Islands," said Professor Crawford as he was leav ing, "and of course volunteered my services when the present call came. "I have been Superintedent of the school here for three yars, and they hav been the most pleasant years of my life." Professor Crawford also said that if he was kept on duty at the camp readers of The Advance might expect to hear from him. !?!.
