tests voiced.
Logan First to Complain.
Roy Logan. 400 Fifth street, de-
clared that the city was too small
to have such a zone and that it would
work hardships on many who were
dependent on their chickens and
cows for part Of their living. He
stated that he would not favor any
amendments to the proposed Ordi-
nance introduced week ago by Com
missioner Battey and that he wanted
to see it cancelled.
Two women were in the audience
and each spoke against the measure.
Others were heard, one gentleman
stating ne Thought he mad built his
home on the outskirts of the city in
order to have cows, chickens and
horses, but that on reading the pro.
visions of the proposed ordinance
learned that he was in the restricted
zone. ....
Ordinance Seems Doomed.
1t was obvious from the stand TAX
en- by the commissioners that the or
dinance is doomed. The measure
comes up for final passage next Mon.
day evening, the first reading having
been given a week ago last night.
About rs were present to enter pro-
tests. Seven were heard, after which
Mayor Lucas stated that the matter
would be given the attention Of the
commissioners and nothing would be
done which would work a hardship
on the property owners. -
Boundaries Defined.
The boundaries of the restricted
zone are as follows:
Beginning at the corner Of Avenue

But our enemies have ever since the
war began been buying from Sweden,
Norway, Denmark. Holland. Switzerland
and other neutral countries. In al
these places these counties have been
importing very lasge quantities, partic.
ularly foodstuffs from this country and
selling the same at profit to Germany.
Now they come with plea that they
must have our food or starve. They
also claim that little or none Of our food
is sold by them to Germany. But the
statistic show that they sell their own
products to the Germans and eat what
they buy from us. Ofcourse the result

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Tuesday, after the most terrific cannon
ade of the war, the British made an at
tack on the Germans in the Ypres region
on front of about thirty miles and with
the help Of the French drove the Ger
mans back about two miles. Wednes-
day there was a very heavy rain and as
the country is mostly low and marshy,
it was almost impossible for either side
to bring up heavy artillery or do much
real fighting. Meantime the British are
busy fixing up the German trenches
that were previously ruined by artillery
before the assault.
The British claim to have taken about
1000 prisoners. A heavy casualty list
is expected on both sides though the
British claim that considering the mum.
ber Of men engaged and the victorious
results that the killed and wounded on
their side were but few.
While the Russians are still retreatlng
they have begun to stiffen their lines
and the rout is now more like an orderly
retreat. The Germans have pressed
them back more than hundred miles
in the center of the Thousand mile line.
though the Russians have held at the
north and have made progress in the
south in the Carpatians. So the lines
now from vast semi-circle. The goven.
ment is attempting to restore order both
through the country and in the army by
the most rigorous measures, Russia has
lost about 1000 cannon. +.

BEGINNING THE FOURTH YEAR

The past week witnessed the beginning
OF the fourth year Of world warfare
Millions of men have been fighting fol
three years ana what is the answer? ..
Hundreds of thousands of graves is
one part of the answer and millions Of
disabled men, and poverty stricken
women and children is another part.
Bankrupt nations, bankrupt as to
money. men and food is another result.
Thousands of ruined villages and cities
are also among the debris of this terrible
war.
It will be century before the world
again appears to be normal, and will be
many centuries before the effects of the
war will be finally erased though some
consequences will last forever.
The figures Of the totals of losses in
men, money and property are beyond
human comprehension.
And all for whatf It is still ques-
toned fact az to how, where and why
this war began; it is still question as
just what each nation is fighting for or
about; it is yet to be stated in definite
terms what anyone of these nations
would be willing to accept as terms Of
peace. ,9
As we look upon the contending forces
we cannot say as yet that either side
has certainty Of victory or defeat. In
fact, it seems to be very general opin-
ion that the contest will end in draw.
Perhaps to-day. the greatest incentive
to the continuation of the war by
the opposed nations is that each wants
victory that they may control future
wars. and in that way prevent oil future
wars.
Perhaps the only question that has
been quite certainly answered ls that
the war is not to be won by force Of
arms. So far the armies have done
little but hold the opposition in check.
As result the war has developed iEto q
matter Of exhaustion.
Exhaustion Of mon, money, amunitions

These will be Called.
The First to Appear Before the
: Examining Board In this
County Next Week.

NOTICE-The numbers and names |
as given below are not official. They |
are compiled from the published num-
bers IN the papers and are subject to
errors. Any person who knows his regi-
stored numbers can verify the number |
as compiled by us, by referring to the
full list of numbers published in this
paper last week.
The official lists were only received at
Cavalier on Tuesday evening and then
in the form of master sheets which
take considerable time to compare with
the full lists before the names of those
to be called can be ascertalned.
+ "Callinp cards. cannot be issued be-
fore tomorrow at the earliest and prob
ably at least three days notice will be
given for the registered men to appear
at Cavalier some day next week.
DR.. Deason of St. Thomas has resign
ed from the Board as he is himself ON
the registered list, being three months
less than thirty -one years of age. Prob
ably DR.. Walker of Cavalier will be ap-
pointed, it being convenient to the
Board to have the medical officer at the
county seat.
The following list OF numbers and
names represent the first 236 persons
who will be called before the examining
board for military duty.
The first column of figures shows the
numerical order in which Pemblna
county men on the registered list were
drawn and the order in which they
will be called before the board, Thus
the first man to be called will be Ray
Bodmer and the second will be A. Vasi-
los and L. Adolph third and so on.
The second column shows in what or
der the Pembina numbers we're drawn
at Washington. The first number drawn
at Washington was 258, the second.
third, fourth and fifth numbers drawn
at Washington did not affect any Penn
bina county man. The sixth man drawn
was the second man taken from this
county and the 18th man drawn at
Washington was the third man liable |
from Pemblna county.
The third column of figures are the
registered numbers given to each man
who registered in June.
These are the first 238 from this county.
It may be that the number required
from this county can be filled with less
number than 238. and it may be that SO
many exemptions will occur that more
than 236 will have to be called.
All the registered numbers were given
in this district in alphabetical order
both of names and localities. Thus
numbers werc first given to the register
ed men in Akrs township. The num-
bers in that township ran from l to q.
The next township was Advance and
the numbers followed Akra and run
from % to ~. Following this the whole
county was numbered, the last number
being 1408, except for some scattering
ones who registered later.
Hence the numbers In the first column
Of the table will give the residence OF
any person named in the list by refer
.ence to the numbers which apply to the
separate townships and towns, Of which
