NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS

The new draft regulations appear to be q decided i'm.
provement over the old. Under the plans originally adopt.
ed the names Of all registered men were listed in the or
der in which they had been drawn shortly after the reg
istrahon, and when men were to be called into service a
number of names were taken from the top Of the list,
and from this list the men were selected for actual SER
vice. The, result was necessarily the drafting Of a good
many men concerning whose eligibility there was doubt,
while others farther down the list, concerning whom there
could be no doubt. were not drawn.
The new plan contemplates the drafting first Of all
who are undoubtedly eligible, while those who are less
eligible are to be left untilia later period. The entire list
of registered men will be divided, as has been announced
in the Washington dispatches. into five classes. the first
class containing the names Of men without dependents.
and whose presence at home is not essential to the pros
ecution of any enterprise that is necessary to the prose-
cuton of the war. The next class will contain the names
of those upon whom others are in some measure depend
ent' and who have a higher industrial value than the first
class. Similar gradations are observed with reference to
the other classes.
Under the new plan regtstrants will. be notified Of
their classification, and each man will know exactly where
he stands. If he belongs to the first class he will know
that he will be called for examination before the next
class is touched. for the plan is to exhaust the first class
before proceeding to the second.
This plan will greatly simplify the work Of the exam
lining boards when a fresh draft is made, for these boards
Will have but mon of one class to deal with. The real
work, it is evident, will come in assigning the men to
their classes, for before this can be done it will be neces-
sary to determine the status of the individual as to de-
and also as to industrial employment. In many
cases there will be no doubt. But there will arise a null
titude of cases where a fine sense of discrimination must
be shown.

rendered weekly.
Special provision is to be made for

In the permanent camp arrange

New York to Grand Forks. N. D.. or
from New York to 200 miles beyond

THE men do not want sob stuff.
They do not want pictures Of home,

LIBERTY BONDS
Il AN NVESTMEN

The appeal to the people to sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan bonds has
laid entirely too much stress upon pa
triotism n too little on sound bust
ness reasons.
The ordinary citizen. with small
savings, al make no better invest
ment. Banks have been known to
fail; corporation, whose stock is sup
posed to be ~gilt-edged, have suffered
business depression; real estate has
deprecated, owing to q change in the
tide Of the city's life. ALI forms of
investing money have some element
of hazard.
In Liberty Loan bonds there is alb
solutely no risk. Each bond is the
promise of the United States govern
ment, backed by the entire might and
wealth of the nation. This makes the
bonds the safest investment in the
world.
At one and the same time each
American who buys these bonds helps
his country win this war for a right
eous cause, and places his money
where it is safe and will work for him.
Every man or woman anxious to
save for the rainy day. or for inactive
old age, should invest in Liberty Loan
bonds. -.
Every man or woman anxious to
give the child of the family an educa-
ton or a nest-egg some years hence
should invest in Liberty Loan bonds.

FUEL FOR THE

In a great district, including several Northwestern
states. and inhabited by several million people, there is
grave danger of a fuel famine which will bring actual
suffering to many families. We are still in the season Of
mid-autunn, a period when ordinarily we expect some
weeks Of fire weather: but the present season has been
abnormal and winter fires have been going for some time.
And at this season, when usually the handling of coal is in
coal to be had. With this condition actually prevailing
now, the outlook for real winter is not encouraging.
1t is less important just now to learn just why this
condition has come upon us than it is to discover what to
do about it, not for the distant future, but for the imme-
date present. The family that is out of coal in cold wealth.
er wants coal. 1t does not feel an interest in the solution
OF an economic problem. The important thing is to have
provided a supply of coal which will be as nearly adequate
as possible, and to have that done at the earliest possible
moment.
The fuel administration, under the direction of DR..
Garfield, has shown its appreciation Of the gravity of the
situation in its announcement that interference with the
fuel supply through labor troubles would not be tolerated,
That decision is wise and necessary, and If there is any
such interference. If the supply of coal is being curtailed
by disputes between employers and employees, over wages
or labor conditions, or anything else. the government
should act at once on its knowledge and take possession
Of both mines and labor, if necessary, without q days de-
lay.
OF course, this is but one phase Of the problem. But
it is manifestly the business of the government to act
with equal promptness in removing any other obstruction,
no matter what its nature. The whole problem-the
matters of production, handling and carriage-is a. ire
mendous one. and something must be done about it now.
Whatever obstacles stand in the way of proper fuel dis
trloution should be removed Immediately SO far as it is
within the power of the government to remove them.
Great communities cannot be permitted to freeze because
individuals are not awake to the needs of the country.

Money used to save liberty to the
world becomes sacred. The Liberty
Loan Is money devoted to that great
cause. Constitutional liberty was
born in England, and was trans
planted in America by our ~forefathers.
Our history and England's are the
same down 10 40 years ago. The
abstracts Of title to our liberties run
back to Wyclif. John Ball. Jack
Ppm, John Hampden, Oliver Crom-
we'll, John Milton. Robert Bruce, Will
liam Wallace and to Magma Carta and
the Petition of Right.
The defeat Of the Spanish Armada,
the victories Of the parliamentary
armies, the parliamentary triumphs of
Pitt, Fox, Burke and Barre r. as
much our victories as those of the
people of the British Islands. The
democracy built up in the British
Isles Is our democracy. Our titles to
our liberties, the validity of our gov
eminent is on trial in the trenches
today.
A hundred and forty years ago
through Frances aid we formed our
own separate government for the adj
liberty. Since that time we have
been engaged in the great task of
developing it.. and to the best Of our
imperfect ability p%erfecting it. It is
a long look from Magma Carta to the
constitutional conventions of Illinois,
Massachusetts and North Dakota, to
the initiative, referendum and recall
in California, but the latter rest on
the former. So the .ship-Money
struggles Of the British kings and the
new tariff board in Washington seem
remote from each other, but the one
is descended as directly from the
other as are the laws Of Kansas from
the British constitution.
For 140 years we have been get
ting much money in America. We
have had the greatest opportunity

BUNK PATRIOTS
By Berton Bralw.)

I prefer the Stacker to the bunk
patriot
For at least the Stacker is frankly
lodging his duty, while the bunk
patriot is trying to get by with loud
promise and no performance.
Who is the bunk patriot?
He is the corner grocer who drapes
the flag all over the front of his shop
and puts up his prices SO per cent
"on account of the war;" the restau-
rant keeper who serves Hoover's war
rations at enhanced schedules; the
business man who subscribes to two
Liberty bonds and gets it back i'm
mediately with 200 per cent added
from the public he is supposed to
serve; the landlord who sends out
notices Of increased rents ON paper
with an embossed nag in the corner.
He is the employer who talks about
the "disloyal and unpatriotic work.
man" that strikes for another dollar

HALF A MILLION-NO LESS

Grand Forks was asked for subscriptions amounting
to 100000 for the second Liberty Loan. That figure has
already been exceeded by nearly so per cent, and it is be-
yond a doubt that the subscriptions from this city will
amount to a half million dollars or over.
That is the answer of Grand Forks to those who have
sought to cast cold water on the loan. who have preached
a patched-up peace, and who have even preached sedi-
ton. There have been such persons here, as elsewhere.
Some of them, through political accidents of one sort or
another, have become closely associated in the public
mind with North Dakota. The attitude of the people of
this city. and what is certain to be indicated as the atti-
tude of the people of the state, is being shown in no un-
certain manner by the response which is coming from
every quarter Of the state to the governments present de-
mand for money. The money is forthcoming, all that was
asked for. and more.
The splendid showing that is being made in Grand
Forks is due to the patriotism of no special class. Men
of means have contributed largely. And it is a mistake to
assume that the large subscriptions that have been made
oy some Grand Forks men mean nothing to them. In
order that the large purchases, of bonds might be made,
many of those who have contributed large sums have in
terrupted their own programs, have revised their plans.
and have arranged to forego many things which would
have been highly desirable to them. They are making
sacrifices for the honor of the city and state and the
preservation Of the nation. And those of moderate means
ally into the spirit of the occasion, and have united in a
magnificent effort to show to,the world that Grand Forks
is truly a part Of the nation in this war, that it is in the
1lent TO stay, and that its people are prepared to do their
full share in whatever may be asked Of them.
The half million dollars now in sight will be subscrib-
ed for this loan. And when the time comes that more
funds are needed by the government for the same purpose
the people OF Grand Forks will subscribe again. and
again, and will keep it up until the war is won and the
need Tor war loans has been forever banished, 4
