FAILURE TO FILE CUES
TIONARIES SERIOUS MATTER

Bismarck, Nov. 22.-Registrants,
except alien enemies, who failed to re-
turn the questicnaries under the new
selective regulations or the date re-
quired will automatically be placed in
the first class, according to the new
regulations just issued by the provost
marshal general.
Adjutant Gneral Angus Fraser has
called particular attention to this reg
ulation, urging registrants of the state
to file their questionaries on the date
required without fail to avoid compli-
cations. The regulation covering this
particular point follows:
"Any registrant, except an alien en-
who fails to return the question
naire on the date required shall be
deemed to hav waived all right for
filing claims and proof for deferred
classification and shall be classified in
ClassI, and be so recorded by the To-
cal board, subject, however, to the
rights and privileges of other persons
to apply to the local board for defer
red classification of the registrant, and
to the right of the registrant Or 9TH
er persons to apply for an extension
of time"
The new equations require the po-
lice to bring all persons who fail to
report their questionnaaries before the
local board.

LABOR UNION
.ooS sf
AND WAR

Just as there are certain objects for
which the nation will fight a foreign
foe, SO there are others for which it
will fight q foe within its " bor-
dcrs; and as soon as it realizes that
the revolutionary movement aims at
its existence, it will fight that move
ment.
That movement may come soon. It
must come when the demand Of trade
unions are seen to be impracticable,
and when the gross injustice is real
lied by which highly paid workers
gain increases Of wages, for which
their poorly paid brothers have to pay
in the devaluaticn of their money.
When all parties realize that such a
struggle is inevitable, government will
resume its authority and labor unions
will run the risk of losing many ad-
vantages viii III they have gaineu by
their recent self-assertions. But in
spite Of all this, a struggle will be de-
plorable, and it is to be avoided at any
cost.
How can it be avoided? This ques-
ton calls for a serious answer. Not
by s~urrendering the rights of the ma
ton to the claims of one Of it's Sec
tions; not by throwing the burden of
the war wholly upon the shoulders of
the willing; not by enriching the we'll
paid and making the poor poorer; not
by initiating the currency and risking
it's complete devaluation; and, above
all, not by prostituting national au-
thority at the feet of anarchistic revol-
ution. A firm negative on every one
of these points is the beginning of a
responsible policy; and the man who
can not say "no" to all these sugges-
lions lacks the courage to face the sit
union. But when the contrary posi-
lions are assured, the way is open tc
a positive policy, that of fighting the
revolutionary program within the
ranks Of labor itself and Of meeting
the revolutionary propaganda with 9
national appeal. For such an attempt
to succeed it is necessary to dig dowr
to first principles, to set out facts ii
true sequence, to use c%learness Of Ian
guage and sincerity of conviction, ant
the appeal must be made by men wht
feel sure of their ground and do mo-
intend to bulge from it for any
! threats-London Times. -

~ AHsoclated Praaa.1

London, Dec. 20.-Speakiug in the
house Of commons today David
Lloyd--George, the British prime min
lister, said that the margin of losses
at sea was narrowing. Tie sinkings
by submarines he declared, are de-
creasing while shipbuilding was I'M
Creasing.
The premier said the sinking OF
submarines was increasing. AIthouga
the merchant tonnage was down by
20 per cent, he added, the loss had
been only 6 per cent OF imports over
that OF last year.
Regarding the military situation,
Mr.. Lioyd-George said ft was idle
to pretend that the hopes formed had
been realized. This disappointment
he attributed 70 the Russian collapse.
The Germans, the premier said, had
had only one success, which was due
TO surprise and this was now emrag-
ing inquiry. The Germans, he stated,
had lost 100000 prisoners valuable
positions and hundreds Of guns.
