.Registration Day for Vomen
GOVERNOR'S PK0CLAMA..0N
We arc engaged in the j reatest
war of all time. The outcome virtu
ally depends upon the effectiveness
of the participation of our country
and upon the effectiveness of that
participation rests our future as a
nation.
It will not suffice that we merely
send an army to fight side by side
with the armies of our allies. We
must 'mobilize the millions of our
people who remain behind, for such
service as they can render. Nebras
ka has set an enviable example in
effective cooperation with the fed
eral government in all things calcu
lated to further our eountry's-inter-cst
in the great struggle, and no
class of people is sacrificing more
unselfishly than the noble women of
the state. In a brief period of time
thousands'of the finest and most
stalwart young men to be found in
any nation will represent Nebraska
in the army of our country. Noth
ing must be left undone that will
promote their comfort or conserve
their lives and energies.
In order that thi3 end may be ac
complished and the efforts of the
thousands of women (many of them
the mothers and sisters of our sold
iers) be effectively coordinated, I,
Keith Neville, governor of Nebras
ka, at the solicitation of the patriotic
women of Nebraska, designate Wed
nesday, September 12, as registra
tion day for women, and upon which
day and date they may register for
such service as they, are willing to
render throughout the present
emergency.
The foregoing proclamation of the
governor makes September 1 2 the
day for all women of the state to
present themselves at the polling
places for registration for war ser
vice. Every woman is able to give
some small portion of time to relief
work, either at home or abroad. If
she is a busy woman Bhe can promise
one hour a week "at least, to bo used
in making bnndages, visiting the
sick' caring for children whose moth
er has added responsibility during
the war period. f An office girl can
promise one hour's assistance each
week in typing. The lime spent in
home gardening can be regarded as
war service if it adds to the .food
conservation. The registration
cards will bo kept in the counties
where they have been signed and
when the United States government
has calls for women physicians,
nurses, ciorKs, stenographers, a
glance at the tabulated list will show
what ussialuiiCts can be secured from
Nebraska. , Two' hundred thousand
registration cards are being Bhijlped
to Nebraska for September 12.

War Conditions Affecting
Telephone Service
For. the information of those who
may desire to know of the conditions
facing the telephone industry at this
time, the following statement is is
sued by tho Nebraska Telephone
company.
Since the very beginning of the
war, the government's requests for
telephone equipment have 'had pre
cedence over private requirements
and government telephone calls have
had the right-of-way over all private
messages.
At-atv expense in the agregate
hundreds of thousands of dollars
comprehensive telephone systems
have been provided for training
camp3, and lines of communication
have been installed between mili
tary headquarters, mobilization posts
and 'commissary depots. Telephones
and special lines have also been sup
plied for the troops at bridges, grain
depots and other places being
guarded.
In addition to tho government's
use of our service, increased busi
ness activity incident to tho war has
pjaced further demands upon our
telephone facilities. Wearo hand
ling over tH) per cent more long dis
tance calls than wo did before the
war and the number of local calls,
particularly in tho larger cities, has
increased greatly.
The long distance telephone facili
ties out of thu city of Washington
havo been more than doubled since
the war began and in all tho princi
pal centers both tho local and long
distance equipment has been greatly
increased in an endeavor to handle
the heavy telephone burden caused
by war activities.
Nearly U.OOO skilled telephone en
gineers and maintenance men from
the Bell system alone havo been or
ganized into signal corps battalions
for service with the armies in the
field. Many more of our men nre
with the national guard and in other
branches of tho country's military
service.
Tho situation confronting us has
caused great difficulty in getting
and installing equipment for the
most urgent private needs. Our long
distance facilities are loaded to their
utmost capacity and our local ser
vice in some localities is suffering on
,accountof the conditions over which
we have no control.
Ab the war continues tho govern
ment's requirements for trained
telephone men and for service and
equipment are increasing. Tho
present business activity is also like
ly to be extended as the war goes
on. In the interests of all, we hope
that our patrons will ask for no ad
ditional equipment unless absolutely
essential to the conduct of their
business and that they will put every
possible restraint on the unneces
sary and extravagant use of our
local and long distance (service.
