[*The Ambassador of Great Britain on Special Mission to the Secretary of State*] British Embassy *Washington, June 3, 1918*. Sir: With reference to the Military Service Convention between the United States and Great Britain signed today, I am instructed by His Majesty’s Government to explain why the proviso to Article One does not limit the military service of citizens of the United States in Great Britain to those of the ages specified in the laws of the United States prescribing compulsory military service, as requested by the United States Government. The reason for the omission of this clause in the proviso is a desire to avoid the delay that would be involved in modifying the Military Service Acts 1916 to 1918, which control the operation of any convention of this character. I beg you, therefore, to be good enough not to press this proposal. The effect of these Acts is to make United States citizens in Great Britain under this convention liable to military service between the ages of 18 and 49 both inclusive. The limitation of the ages of United States citizens in Great Britain for the purpose of military service to those prescribed in the laws of the United States relating to compulsory military service may, however, be attained without amendment of these Acts by exercise of the United States of its right of exempt ion under Article Three. His Majesty’s Government understand, therefore, that the United States Government will exercise their right under Article Three to exempt from compulsory military service in Great Britain all citizens of the United States in Great Britain, out-side the ages specified in the laws of the United States prescribing compulsory military service. I have the honor to be with the highest consideration, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, Reading. The Honorable Robert Lansing, *Secretary of State of the United States*.

In explanation Your Excellency states as follows: " “The reason for the omission of this clause in the proviso is a desire to avoid the delay which would be involved in modifying the Military Service Acts 1916 to 1918, which control the operation of any convention of this character. I beg you therefore to be good enough not to press this proposal. “The effect of these Acts is to make United States citizens in Great Britain under this convention liable to military service between the ages of 18 and 49 years, both inclusive.

And I do charge those who through sickness shall be unable to present themselves for registration that they apply on or before the day of registration to the county clerk of the county where they may be for instructions as to how they may be registered by agent. Those Temporary absentees from residence.who expect to be absent on the day named from the counties in which they have their permanent homes may register by mail, but their mailed registration cards must reach the places in which they have their permanent homes by the day named herein. They should Methods to be employed.apply as soon as practicable to the county clerk of the county wherein 1666they may he for instructions as to how they may accomplish their registration by mail. In case such persons as, through sickness or absence, may be unable to present themselves personally for registration shall be sojourning in cities of over thirty thousand population, they shall apply to the city clerk of the city wherein they may be sojourning rather than to the clerk of the county. The clerks of counties and of cities of over thirty thousand population in which numerous applications from the sick and from non-residents are expected are authorized to establish such sub-agencies and to employ and deputize such clerical force as may be necessary to accommodate these applications. Importance and incentive to service.The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose its will upon the world by force. To this end it has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire nations armed. Thus, the men who remain to till the soil and man the factories arc no less a part of the army that is France than the men beneath the battle flags It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; it is a nation. To this end our people must draw close in one compact front against a common foe. But this can not be if each man pursues a private purpose. All must pursue one purpose. The nation needs all men; but it needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure him, but in the endeavor that will best serve the common good. Thus, though a sharpshooter pleases to operate a trip-hammer for the forging of great guns, and an expert machinist desires to march with the flag, the nation is being served only when the sharpshooter marches and the machinist remains at his levers. The whole nation must be a team in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted. To this end, Congress has provided, that the nation shall be organized for war by selection and that each man shall be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the general good to call him. Duty incumbent upon the people.The significance of this can not be overstated. It is a new thing in our history and a landmark in our progress. It is a now manner of accepting and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all. It is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling; it is rather, selection from a nation which has volunteered in mass. It is no more a choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is a selection of those who shall serve an equally necessary and devoted purpose in the industries that fie behind the battle line. Conspicuous honor attached to Registration Day.The day here named is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. It is for that reason destined to be remembered as one of the most conspicuous moments in our history. It is nothing less than the day upon which the manhood of the country shall step forward in one solid rank in defense of the ideals to which this nation is consecrated. It is important to those ideals no less than to the pride of this generation in manifesting its devotion to them, that there be no gaps in the ranks. Gravity and significance of the patriotic obligation.It is essential that the day be approached in thoughtful apprehension of its significance and that we accord to it the honor and the meaning that it deserves. Our industrial need prescribes that it be not made a technical holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is before us, urges that it be carried in all our hearts as a great day of patriotic devotion and obligation when the duty shall lie upon every man, whether he is himself to be registered or not, to see to it that the name of every male person of the designated ages is written on these lists of honor. 1667 IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

August 21, 1917. A PROCLAMATION. Amnesty and pardon in certain criminal cases.Preamble.*Ante*, p. 1672.WHEREAS it has become desirable more specifically to define the persons under suspended sentence in United States courts and other persons, defendants in said courts, to whom pardon and amnesty were extended by the Proclamation of the President of the United States which was made and issued on the fourteenth day of June, A. D., 1917; and Whereas, in a ease entitled “Ex parte United States, Petitioner,” known as the Killits case, decided December 4, 1916, it was held by the Supreme Court of the United States that United States District judges have no authority to suspend sentence or the imposition thereof; and Whereas, many judges did not claim such power and others both claimed and exercised it, with the result that there was a lack of uniformity in the administration of the criminal laws, and a large number of persons who had been convicted and were required by acts of Congress to be sentenced and committed had escaped punishment without legal disposition of their cases; and Whereas, in many instances, defendants in such courts, who had been improperly at large for a number of years, under the circumstances recited, had reestablished themselves in the respective communities wherein they lived; and Whereas, the object of the aforesaid Proclamation was to meet this situation justly, and the amnesty proposed therein was offered to such defendants and each of them with reference to that object alone; 1691 NOW, Therefore, be it known, that I, WOODROW WILSON, Declaration of intent and application of prior proclamation.President of the United States of America, in order to avoid possible misunderstandings, do hereby proclaim, declare and make known that the aforesaid Proclamation, in purpose and intent, applied and does apply to the following eases, to wit:
(1)Cases of defendants in United States courts, under suspended Cases affected.sentences, wherein the sentences imposed were less than the period between the date of the imposition thereof and June 15, 1917.
(2)Cases of defendants in United States courts, not actually in process of adjudication on June 14, 1917 (the date of the aforesaid Proclamation), wherein pleas of guilty were entered or verdicts of guilty were returned prior to June 15, 1916, and in which the imposition of sentence had been illegally suspended by the court or in which the court had illegally declined to impose sentence upon proper motion by the prosecuting attorney. In consideration of the premises, and by virtue of the powers in Limitation.me vested, I have offered and do now offer amnesty and pardon to all such persons, defendants in said courts, and to no others; on the assumption that the enforcement of sentence would not further the ends of justice in cases where the sentence would have been served when the mandate of the Supreme Court in the aforesaid case entitled “Ex parte United States, Petitioner,” should become effective, if such sentence had been promptly imposed and its execution begun at the time of its imposition; and. further, on the assumption that, where the imposition of sentence had been designedly suspended, the offense was not a serious one, and that the sentence, if imposed, would not have been for more than a period of one year. In the remaining cases of illegal suspension, either of the imposition Special application required for all other cases.or execution of sentence, by judges of United States courts, occurring prior to December 4, 1916, that being the date of the decision in the so-called Killits case, special application for executive clemency may be made by any person excepted from the benefits of the foregoing provisions, and such application will receive due consideration on the merits, in the course of the general respite of six *Ante*, p. 1672.months granted by the aforesaid Proclamation. In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

The might of the United States is being mobilized and organized to strike a mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of Liberty. Billions of dollars are required to arm, feed and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our country's battles and to assist the nations with whom we are making common cause against a common foe. To subscribe to the Liberty Loan is to perform a service of patriotism. Wednesday, October 24, 1917, appointed for public assemblages to pledge support to the Government.NOW, THEREFORE, I, WOODROW WILSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, do appoint Wednesday, the twenty-fourth of October, as Liberty Day, and urge and advise the people to assemble in their respective communities and pledge to one another and to the Government that represents them the fullest measure of financial support. On the after-noon of that day I request that patriotic meetings be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout the land, under the general direction of the Secretary of the Treasury and the immediate direction of the Liberty Loan Committees which have been organized by the Federal Reserve Banks. The people responded nobly to the call of the First Liberty Loan with an oversubscription of more than fifty per cent. Let the response to the Second Loan be. even greater and let the amount be so large that it will serve as an assurance of unequalled support to hearten the men who are to face the fire of battle for us. Let the result be so impressive and emphatic that it will echo throughout the Empire of our enemy as an index of what America intends to do to bring this war to a victorious conclusion.

A PROCLAMATION. Thanksgiving Day, 1917.Preamble.It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. That custom we can follow now even in the midst of the tragedy of a world shaken by war and immeasurable disaster, in the midst of sorrow and great peril, because even amidst the darkness that has gathered about us we can see the great blessings God has bestowed upon us, blessings that are better than mere peace of mind and prosperity of enterprise. We have been given the opportunity to serve mankind as we once served ourselves in the great day of our Declaration of Independence, by taking up arms against a tyranny that threatened to master and debase men everywhere and joining with other free peoples in demanding for all the nations of the world what we then demanded and obtained for ourselves. In this day of the revelation of our duty not only to defend our own rights as a nation but to defend also the rights of free, men throughout the world, there has been vouchsafed us in. full and inspiring measure the resolution and spirit of united action. We have been brought to one mind and purpose. A new vigor of common counsel and common action has been revealed in us. We should especially thank God that in such circumstances, in the midst of the greatest enterprise the spirits of men have ever entered upon, we have, if we but observe a reasonable and practicable economy, abundance with which to supply the needs of those associated with us as well as our own. A new light shines about us. The great duties of a new day awaken a new and greater national 1713spirit in us. We shall never again be divided or wonder what stuff we are made of. And while we render thanks for these things let us pray Almighty God that in all humbleness of spirit we may look always to Him for guidance; that we may may be kept constant in the spirit and purpose of service; that by His grace our minds may be directed and our hands strengthened; and that in His good time liberty and security and peace and the comradeship of a common justice may be vouchsafed all the nations of the earth. WHEREFORE, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United Thursday, November 29, 1917 appointed as a day of general thanksgiving.States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease upon that day from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes and places of worship to render thanks to God, the great ruler of nations.

In establishments where union and non-union men and women now work together, and the employer meets only with employees or representatives engaged in said establishments, the continuance of such condition shall not be deemed a grievance. This declaration, however, is not intended in any manner to deny the right, or discourage the practice of the formation of labor unions, or the joining of the same by the workers in said establishments, as guaranteed in the last paragraph, nor to prevent the War Labor Board from urging, or any umpire from granting, under the machinery herein provided, improvement of their situation in the matter of wages, hours of labor, or other conditions, as shall be found desirable from time to time. 3. Established safeguards and regulations for the protection of the health and safety of workers shall not be relaxed. *WOMEN IN INDUSTRY* If it shall become necessary to employ women on work ordinarily performed by men, they must be allowed equal pay for equal work and must not be allotted tasks disproportionate to their strength. *HOURS OF LABOR* The basic eight hour day is recognized as applying in all cases in which existing law requires it. In all other cases the question of hours of labor shall be settled with due regard to governmental necessities and the welfare, health and proper comfort of the workers. *MAXIMUM PRODUCTION* The maximum production of all war industries should be maintained, and methods of work and operation on the part of employers or workers which operate to delay or limit production, or which have a tendency to artificially increase the cost thereof, should be discouraged. *MOBILIZATION OF LABOR* For the purpose of mobilizing the labor supply with a view to its rapid and effective distribution, a permanent list of the number of skilled and other workers 1769available in different parts of the nation shall be kept on file by the Department of Labor, the information to be constantly furnished: 1. By the trade unions. 2. By State employment bureaus and Federal agencies of like character. 3. By the managers and operators of industrial establishments throughout the country. These agencies should be given opportunity to aid in the distribution of labor, as necessity demands. *CUSTOM OF LOCALITIES* In fixing wages, hours and conditions of labor regard should always be had to the labor standards, wage scales, and other conditions, prevailing in the localities affected. *THE LIVING WAGE* 1. The right of all workers, including common laborers, to a living wage is hereby declared. 2. In fixing wages, minimum rates of pay shall be established which will insure the subsistence if the worker and his family in health and reasonable comfort. (Signed) Loyall A. Osborne L. F. Lome W. H.

They know how surely this is the Nation’s war, how imperatively it demands the mobilization and massing of all our resources of every kind.

But all must be registered in order that the selection for military service may be made intelligently and with full information.

This year we have special and moving cause to be grateful and to rejoice. God has in His good pleasure given us peace. It has not come as a mere cessation of aims, a mere relief from the strain and tragedy of war. It has come as a great triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us, not peace alone, but the confident promise of a new day as well in which justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the nations. Our gallant armies have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In a righteous cause they have won immortal glory and have nobly served their nation in serving mankind. God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of our national history. A now day shines about us, in which our hearts take new courage and look forward with new hope to new and greater duties. 1889 While we render thanks for these things, let us not forget to seek the Divine guidance in the performance of those duties, and Divine mercy and forgiveness for all errors of act or purpose, and pray that in all that we do we shall strengthen the ties of friendship and mutual respect upon which we must assist to build the new structure of peace and good will among the nations.

In his death the United States has lost one of its most distinguished and patriotic citizens, who had endeared himself to the people by his strenuous devotion to their interests and to the public interests of his country. As president of the Police Board of his native city, as Member of the Legislature and Governor of his State, as Civil Service Commissioner, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, as Vice-President and as President of the United States, he displayed administrative powers of a signal order and conducted the affairs of these various offices with a concentration of effort and a watchful care which permitted no divergence from the line of duty he had definitely set for himself. In the War with Spain, he displayed singular initiative and energy and distinguished himself among the commanders of the army in the field. As President he awoke the Nation to the dangers of private control which lurked in our financial and industrial systems. It was by thus arresting the attention and stimulating the purpose of the country that he opened the way for subsequent necessary and beneficent reforms. His private life was characterized by a simplicity, a virtue and an affection worthy of all admiration and emulation by the people of America. Suitable civil, military, and naval honors directed.IN TESTIMONY of the respect in which his memory is held by the Government and people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags of the White House and the several Departmental Buildings be displayed at half staff for a period of thirty days, and that suitable military and naval honors under orders of the Secretaries of War and of the Navy may be rendered on the day of the funeral.
