How the Military DraftWill Affect You

Tuesday, June sth, 1917, will be Registration Day under the selective draft law.It is expected that it will give the United States Government a list of 10,000,000 men (including

those who have taken out first citizenship papers) of ages ranging from twenty-one to thirty years.From this list the first 500,000 men of the new national army will be selected to begin training aboutSeptember Ist.

THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d gives all the available official and unofficial informa-tion which throws light on the many points in the actual operation of the draft law. The articleshows the questions that will be asked and how they must be answered; who must register and-where;the penalties for failing to register or for making false statements at registration whether aboutoneself or another person: those who arc exempt, and how exemption claims must be made. Sickness orphysical disability of any kind does not excuse absence or failure to register. The Canadian Govern-ment has closed the border to American citizens of military age until after Registration Day.

Xo date in the history of the country is fraught with more significance than willbe June sth, 1917,for on that day, as the New York Evening Mail states, "willbe laid the foundation for the great bul-wark that the American people have pledged themselves to build in the defense of the liberties of theworld."

If you would save yourself inconvenience, not to say future anxiety, be sure to buy and read THE LITERARYDIGEST for June 2d. The information alone which the leading article contains directly affects a great proportionof the American people.

Other features of immediate interest in this number of "The Digest" are:

The Peace-Terms That Socialists FavorIs "No Annexations and No Indemnities" a Device of the Enemy to Sow Discord Between Russia and

Her Allies

Ireland's Chance to Govern Herself Vacation Trips in AmericaHow Food-Administrator Hoover Will Win x Describing Many Points of Interest

Anti-Conscription Enemies in America Italy's New OffensiveAustria Fighting Off Teutonization How Roumania Was Betrayed

That Active German Fleet HindenburgitisThe Scrap-Heaps of Science How Surgeons Make Over the Human FaceFrance's Great Engineering Feat Eye-Squeezing For the NearsightedBees As Firemen "Dreaming True" on the StageFurling the "Star-Spangled Banner" Duse in the Movies^What Dr. Abbott Thinks of Billy Sunday Peace Societies Lining Up For War

An Unusually Good Collection of Half-tone Illustrations, Maps and Cartoons

To Test "The Digest" Is to Prove Its WorthThe dictionaries define news as fresh information re- naturally befogged. There is one periodical which

garding something that has recently happened. This sweeps away every cloud of and mirrors back the. c . sunlitrht of truth by srtvinu: all sides and every angle ofimplies that news, to be worthy of the name, must be up ?

to the minute, must cover actual events, and must be DIGEST, which presents all view-points impartially,bonafide. The average man who confines his newspaper advocating none, giving the actual, unvarnished facts, andreading to one or two newspapers gets only a confused leaving you to form your own judgments. Test it andperspective. He reads "as in a glass, darkly," and is prove its worth.
