Charles p. Darr,
THE active stand The Herald
has taken for the eradication of
these undesirable conditions is
very commendable. and your paper
deserves a great deal of credit for
its splendid work along that line
There are in Washington a num-
Der of places OF more or less vicious
atmosphere: alleys, and former
slums. which are secluded, and
consequently frequented by persons
OF questionable character for the
purpose Of indulging In vicious
practices. Every municipality is
responsible for permitting unsav-
ory resorts to spring up. Such con-
ditions should not exist in the Ma
tion's Capital, They should be
stamped out. Washington Is just
as liable to trouble arising out of
such conditions as is any other
city. 1t is a situation that we
must face sooner or later"

Wnll0 tne registration board ana the
examining board are distinct organise
tions. in this county the Two boards are
the same persons, viz: Auditor w. w.
Felson, Sheriff Charles Atkinson, and
Coroner DR.. Deason Of st. Thomas.
Tho examinations will occur at Cava-
lier. All persons will be notified by
mail, but must also attend whether they
get notice by mail or not. The list Of
those wanted at this time will be posted
at Cavalier and printed in the local
press.
The first examination will be physical
only. No pleas for exemption will be
heard at this examination. Blanks and
affidsvits for exemptions will be put in
and heard later.
There will be many grounds for ex-
emption, such as officers of government,
ministers, dependent families. etc; but
the widest door will bs the exemption Of
farmers and farm laborers.a Howwide
this door wall be opened is as yet ques.
ton. 1t is evident that in this almost
purely agricultural country that 4 very
large proportion are engaged in agricul
tural pursuits and wholesale exemp-
tion of farmers would mean that most of
the conscript army would be composed
of town and city boys.
If you happen to be one Of the regis
tered men, you will find list of the num-
bers as drawn IN this issue. Go over the
list drawing pencil thru every number
above l406. Then count the remaining
numbers to about two hundred aud fifty.
It your number appears in this count
you will probably be called for exam,na-
tion, and it it appears near the begin
ming of the count you are certain to be
called. II it is close to the end the
chances are that you will not be called.
IT your number is beyond the two
hundred and tiftieth number drawn ef-
fecting this county. you need not bother
yourself about being called in this
county for the present at least.
The examination board will probably
be at work by Monday of next week if
not sooner. They will commence as
soon rs lists come from Washington
which are expected now, but had not ar
rived on Thursday.

TEN MILLION AT "ATTENrIoN.'

Ten million young men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty -one stood
at Attention last Friday under the
orders of the commander-in.c chief while
they we're being numbered by chance at
Washington.
Every one of these men by the act of
registration in June became a soldier,
and the drawing of the numbers at
Washington was but the assignment of
the order in which they will or might
hereafter be called to arms in defence Of
this country.
Every man who thus registered and
took his chance of the drawing did his
patriotic duty. Every man who purpose
ly neglected or refused to register by
that neglect proclaimed himself sneak,
coward or traitor.
Many of these men had and have good
reasons for exemption but the time for
exemption was not on registration day.
The duty was to register and let chance
and the examining boards do the rest.
Thousands of men registered and were
numbered and then we're drawn who
will never be called to arms. Ten mill
lions were registered but in the first call
only five or six hundred Thousand will
be asked to serve.
Probably twice the latter number will
60 before the boards for examination but
it is thought that about halt will be ex:
empt for various physical or other rea.
sons.
Really, that man who REGISTERED had
about nine chances out of ton to escape
service as an active soldier. But I'll.
that registered and who were given
numbers still remain as reserves thst
may be called later if thsy are needed,
/ though they may have not been callsd'
in the present drawing. -
III peace should be declared before any
Of these men join the collars, the regis
tration and drawing would mean very
much for the United: States. These
younger men who in any case are soon
to be the government Of this country"
will have had an object lesson in what
good citizenship means. Who he is and
what he is, in relation to the govern
ment. has been brought closely and per-
:sonally to him,
The man who has been called upon
to fight for his country will necessarily
ask himself whyf And the answer1
must make him realize the value OF his
country and its institutions. That per-
sonal valuation cannot but make him 4
hotter citizen. IA
We all gst 70 under value our most;
common blessings and even our most
common necessities. They are 20 free 4

whence they came. We breathe the Iii

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

After several weeks of pounding
around Verdun locality and the sacrifice
of many lives, the Germans have appar-
emily ceased their efforts to make a
break IN the French lines, and the lines
are now much the same as before with a
slight advantage claimed by the French.
Nothing but cannonading and avia-
tion fighting in front of the British lines
is reported. Heavy gunfre and assaults
on the Belgian front indicate possible
big assault by the British near the sea.
Russia, both in civil and military ranks
is still chaotic. German agents have
been getting in lot Of work especially
among the lower classes and while the
provisional government has been central
lied and strengthened there is much un-
rest among the laboring classes. The
army also appears to be demoralized to
large extent, and IN recent fighting
large units refused to obey officers and
in some places the Russian regiments
retreated without pressure by Germans.
AS. q result Russia has now lost about
all the territory that they gained in
June and early July and are still rapidly
retreating, Continued decentralization
in Russia will have very considerable
bearing on the length Of the war. II
Germany can thus release million or
80 Of soldiers from Russia to the French
lines it will certainly need lot Of ''Sam-
mics" as the Europeans call Americans,
to resist the Germans and to reinforce
the entente armies.
A majority Of the Reichstag are in
favor Of terms OF peace which will elimi-
nate all annexation and indemnity. The
military party are not willing to make
such terms. As matter of military
policy this would be good stand to take
from German point Of view, because
neither Britain or France would accept
such terms. Such declaration by Ger
many would make it then appear that
the ententes were looking for absolute
conquest with all that such . conquest
implies. That d course would go to
prove to the German people that. the
Kaiser was right whom he said it is a
war of defence for Germany.
In our own country the whole week
has been spent in scanning the figures
Of the gigantic lottery which calls '8oo,-
600 men to arms and holds . reserve Of
about 500. 600 more. In ten days the
country viii fully waksn up to the fact
that We are at war. Perhaps by the end
Of August many Of these new conscripts
will b wearing khaki uniforms, certain
y not much later.

EX-president Roosevelt says:
What the Y. M. c. A. has been do

able; and now our citizens should aid
them to do work of the same type for
our own troops.
Secretary of War Baker says:
Its influence in rationalizing the

been and will be most beneficial.

turn your sons as worthy the family

there were some who ? :? -? ?,
but what's the use of mentioning them
in the same article with our Sammies,
or in connection with the thought of
giving, and in Christmas edition Of
a newspaper?
Well, in July we will be given anoth-
er chance. The Y. NJ. C.. A. has done
much already, and wants to do more
and more. 1t will be our opportunity
to help it again; when that time comes
this county will have given to the Ma
tional Army many more of her best
men. Their plans will have been
turned topsyturvy too. Old haunts,
old habits, old friends, will have beer
left behind Many social influences
of restraint will cease to operate.
Something of the steadying influence
of home must be maintained. In shor,t
the break between the old normal life
and the strange new soldiers life must
be tactfully and securely bridged. The
Y. NJ c. A. program is designed to do
just this thing for our boys from tn,
time they enlist right up to the firing
line. At the sign Of the Red Triangle
our boys enjoy refined entertainments,
clever motion pictures. writing letters
home, reading, lounging, playing
games, using the talking machine and
piano, attending religious meetings,
educational groups, and the spirit of
triendliress that always prevails.
To provide these few touches OF
home, whatever be the money cost of
50 doing, is ir rcrl;tv an insignificant
service compared to the sacrifice these
men are making for u.s.
