CROWDER RULING
No Exemption for County
Officials, Gov. Frazier
Is Advised

Preliminary to the posting of
names and the calling Of drafted men
for examination, the Cass county ex-
emption board, as we'll as other eX-
emption boards in North Dakota, are
making a study of the exemption
regulations, 10 the end that they win
be in thorough touch with the work
inEs of the great plan ere they are
called upon TO perform their huge
task.
Many features incident to the
draft have been cleared up within
the past few days, and there appears
a growing knowledge on the part of
the men drafted. as to their duty.
COUNTY OFFICERS
ARE HELD LIABLE.
All county officers in North Dalxo-
Ia in the draft age are liable to SER
vice in the new seiective army, ac-
cording to a ruling received by Gov
ernor Lynn Frazier today from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder at
Washington.
The governor wired the provost
marshal general last night advising
him that under the North Dakota
laws and county office may be FILL
ed by appointment for uneXpired
terms and asking whether this fact
does not render officers liable to
draft.
Provost Marshal General Crowder

INDUSTRIAL FEATURE GETS
STATE BOARDS ATTENTION.

John n. Hagan, state commission
er of agriculture and labor, member
OF the state exemption board, WISH
tor in Fargo, sees a gigantic task
ahead for the board.
The question of eXempting men be-
cause of the nature of their employ
ment comes before the state board,
and the fact that agriculture is ad-
mittedly an industry Of tremendous
import to the successful prosecution
of the war, will result in that ques-
ton being raised before the board.
Mr.. Hagan believes that system
of temporary discharge might be
adopted, giving men an opportunity
to complete the harvest before going
into the federal service.
FRAZIER ASKS FOR
CHANGE IN LOCATION.
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier of North
Dakota. has petitioned the war de-
partment for a change in the con-
centration center for North Dakota
guardsmen. Deming, n. NJ, has been
fixed. but the North Dakota eXecu-
tive thinks a northern point should
be selected.
Governor Philip. of Wisconsin,
has taken similar action, but Gov
ernor BurnQuist, of Minnesota, who
also was asked to take the same
step, has not done so up to the pres
ent time. He advised Governor Phil
10 of his intention of awaiting a
more thorough investigation. Prom
ifient Minnesota guard officials are
not adverse to the Deming PROPOSE
ton.

THE AMERICAN SOCIAL HYGIENE
ASSOCIATION

Every school is Hawaii is constant
ly confronted, directly or indirectly,
with the problems of sexual immoral
fly, venereal diseases and their re-
suits, and the abuses which arise
from the lack of sex education. Under
these circumstances. teachers in Ha-
waits schools should know of the
splendid work of the American Social
Hygiene Association, which has its
Headquarters in New York City, and
important branches throughout the
mainland. The following significant
statement has been issued recently
by the association:
This association believes that the
policy of silence upon questions re-
lated to sex and reproduction stands
condemned by it's results; but it does
not believe that sex instruction alone
is any sure protection against sex. mis-
conduct and its consequences. 1t does
rot hold that such instruction as
special topic should be introduced in
our schools; but it does believe that
the so-called sex necessity for men
and the double standard of morality
are without justification, and largely
owe their acceptance to ignorance.
The prevailing misconceptions and
,,utruths regarding sex, picked up
from low sources and looked upon as
secret and shameful, are Thoroughly
evil in their influence and should be
cambated by the real facts set forth

FRENCH FINANCES
Still UNSHAKEN
by Associated Pressl


PARIS, France-French finances
have been mistaken by the war, is the
opinion expressed to The Associat-
ed Press by Charles Glide of the
University of Paris, an eminent au-
thority on economic questions, dis
cussing the outlook at the beginning
of the fourth year of the conflict.
France" said NJ eide, has spent
about 70,000,O0o,0O0 on three years Of
military effort. Yet in the thirty
sixth month of hostilities, the French
people are investing in short term
treasury bonds as freely as they were
two years ago, that is, at the rate of
about 1000, 100000 a month"
AS evidence of the excellence OF
French credit, M. eide pointed to the
cooperation of the United States
which, he said, brings formidable aid
to France and her allies. This, che
continued, mot only removes all doubt
concerning the result of the war from
military standpoint, but relieves the
financial situation by diminishing the
drain upon French gold"
"The money which France has spent
to sustain her military effort inside
the country swells the figures of her
outlay to immense proportions, but
this outlay cannot be considered a
dead loss except in such proportion as
is spent for steel, explosives, and other
material made. to be destroyed. In.
creased prices paid for every commo-
dity, it must be remembered also, has
vastly increased the revenues of the
French people. Before the war these
revenues were 100000, 900 to 35,-
000, 100000 francs. Now they are
50,000,000,000 francs annually. These
figures show that, formidable as the
war debt may appear at first sight,
the problem of its liquidation is not so
alarming after all.
France can stand another year of
war outlay, quite IS we'll as she stood
the third year. 1t would be embarrass-
ing for her to pay in gold for every
thing bought abroad, but this diff

States. -
financially sound, will reconstruct her
industries rapidly and her interior
situation will be liquidated without
causing any economic upheaval. Re
ferring to the situation of other belli-
gerents, M. eide said: -
Il do not think any country will be
ruined by the war All are more or
less in the same situation as France.
The only real drain upon their re-
sources is what they pay abroad. The
best expenditure is that which might
be called fictions; that is, the trans
fer of money from the pockets of
some citizens to the pockets of others,
transfer in which a great many new
fortunes have been built up but in
which the real riches of the country
have been left untouched" .-
Referring to the economic measures
to be taken after the war and to the
complaints by Germany of an effort
by her enemies to ruin her econo-
mically, NJ. eide said: r.. ..~.
THE talk of an economic war
after the belligerents lay down their
arms has almost subsidized. / consider
it neither possible nor useful for Ger.
many to be crushed commercially.
She will be vanquished on the battle
field, her military power will be
crushed, but she will be left free to
work out her own economic Destiny
