THIRD OF BURLEICH
COUNTY AT TRIAL
fBy the Associated Press,

Bismarck, Nov. 14.-Declining to
accept Judge E. T. Burke's word that
his client, Eugene NJ. Walla, a clerk
in the automobile registration depart
ment. was too i'll to appear in court,
Attorney General LANCER today req
uisioned two physicians and paid a
visit to the Walla home. The attor-
ney general declared that unless doc
tors find it would jeopardize Walla's
health, he will be placed on the stand
this afternoon as witness against
Secretary Hall, charged with embez-
Element Of the automobile registra-
tion fund. Walla also is charged with
embezzlement.
When the state called upon J. L..
Bell, vice-president Of the First Ma
tional bank, to produce record Of all
$500 items handled by his bank from
October % to November /, the bank
er objected, saying the state had no
more right to ask a bank to make
public it's confidential dealings than
it would have to make such demand
on lawyer or physician:
His objection was overruled, and
a record of $500 checks cashed dur
ing the period named was produced.
None of the checks seemed to have
a special bearing on this case.
Halls attorney said today that the
state had brought "a third of the pop
ulation of Burleigh county" into
court and had "1ished" around for
four days in an effort Ito find some
evidence that Tom Hall stole $4,000
from the state, but had not produced
q single bit of evidence to date"

New American Vets
Are Out Of Trenches

With the American Army in
France. Nov. 13.-The third series
OF American battalions is now occu-
pying the first line and the second
American detachment to enter the
trenches have returned to their bill
let's. The relief was accomplished on
a brilliant starlight night without
knowledge Of the Germans.
Included among the IS returning
troops was the company which bore
the brunt Of the recent raid on Amer
lean trenches. At retreat this even
ing, this company lined up in little
street in q village nesting under a
hill some miles from the front. Their
clothes were caked with mud and
roofs and fences nearby hung with
wet clothes and equipment.
Openings here and there in the
ranks showed how many men had
been killed, wounded and made pris-
oners in the trench fight. After the
company was dismissed, an officer
who watched the men flash of
through the mud said:
There goes the scrappiest bunch
of soldiers in France. They are mad
all through. and are just waiting until
they set q chance to repay the Ger
mans for what happened to their
comrades. They will get their re-
venge before the war is over, you can
depend on that.
The second return battalion today
were going thru the same series Of
bathing and cleaning 90 the first de-
tachment. The menare to enjoy sey-
.eral days rest before taking up train
ing work again. q,

Americans Again in Action
Conflicting Reports From

tBy the Associated Press)

Italian troops, by strong coun-
ter attacks, aided by the artil-
lery, have checked Austro-Ger-
man efforts to capture the Asia
go plateau and threaten the line

son, on the River Piave, about
20 miles northeast Of Venice,
the invaders have succeeded in
crossing the river in boats, but
were repulsed in an attempt to
debouch from the bridgehead
they had constructed.
The lighting about Asiago and be-

only to be thrown back by an Italian
counter attack. Berlin says Monte

new REGULATIONS
Sent TO BOARDS
Burden Of Responsibility Is
Placed On Individual Regis
hants.
~"

Washington, Nov. 13.-Copies of
the new army draft regulations came
off the press today for a final read
ing preparatory to mailing to local
exemption boards thruout the coun-
try. They will be in the hands of all
boards next week to govern all fu-
ture drafts.
Under the new plan the burden of
supplying information which will re-
suit in his being placed in his proper
classification under the selective SER
vice law rests squarely on the indi-
vidual registrant.
Old Instructions ~Annulled.
All instructions now in the hands
of the boards will be annulled upon
the receipt of the new regulations,
which are greatly reduced in extent
and simplified in process.
Included in the new book is ev-
erything bearing on the draft pro-
cesses as now organized, from the
time the questionable to be sent to
each registrant and filled out and re-
turned to the boards until acceptable
men are actually in the military SER
vice. Each book carries copy of
the statutes and also verified copy
of the master list of the drawing.
Groups Of Five.
The QUESTIONABLE is the basis of
the plan Of grouping registrants in
five classes, liable for duty by class
es. The boards will be able to class
ify a man Immediately when his
QUESTIONABLE has been received.
The questionable process will
eliminate from consideration for mil
itary service probably 95 per cent of
the men who would have been dis
charged or exempted under the old
plan. Under the first call the aver
age board was compelled to examine
five men to obtain one for service.
In some cases not more than one
out. of 10, or - were sent to the
49,
camps.
1t is expected that under the new
scheme the average figures will be
reversed and at most not more than
one man in five called up will fail to
pass his physical examination and be
rejected.
Ieissnlan May Be Major.
Bismarck, Nov. 13.-At the capi-
,tol today it is believed that Charles
Leissman, who handled practically
all the draft and registration detail
in the office OF the adjutant general,
is slated for a commission as major
to directly represent the United
States government in North Dakota
in connection with the second draft,
as suggested by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. General Crowder
has asked Governor Frazier to sug-
gest three names from which
choice may be made. Leissman Is an
old navy man, rising to the rank OF
chief signal officer in that service
and he has been generally compn
mented upon the ability which he
has displayed in handling North
Dakota's draft work.
Whether the post Of major carries
with it full majors pay as we'll as
title and rank is not known. 1t Is
believed that the plan as outlined by
General Crowder of placing one
competent man at the head of the
second draft will result in more sat
iefactory progress than was possible
under the original regulations.
Mr.. Leissman is now engaged as
deputy land commissioner. Former
ly he was state organizer for the
Farmers union.

HEAVY DEMANDS
THE BR0THERHO0DS
Possibility Of Strike Causes
Wilson to Speak Of Govern
ment Operation.
tBy the Associated Press,


Washington, Nov. 14.-Arrange-
ments have been made for the chiefs
of the four railroad brotherhoods to
see President Wilson on Monday,
November 26, in connection with the
workers proposals for wage increas-
es for conductors and brakemen on
all railroads of the country.
Chairman Chambers of the federal
board of mediation and conciliation
returned today from Cleveland, where
he conferred with the brotherhood
chiefs regarding the wage increases
demanded by the men. The new de-
mands, the railway managements
say, will amount to $1O9,0O0,0OO a
year and are more serious than the
eight-hour demand of year ago
which threatened to tie up the coun-
try's railway systems.
The White House conference will
consider the arbitration feature of
the agreement proposed in Cleveland
Thursday by Judge Chambers. 1t is
understood that labor executives are
unwilling to commit their organiza-
ton unconditionally to arbitration
but an adjustment is hoped for which
will at least for duration of the war
prevent any interruption of railroad
transportation.
A letter from President Wilson to
Judge Chambers made public today
said:
"The last thing l should wish to
contemplate would be possibility of
being obliged to take any unusual
measure to operate the railways and
I have so much confidence that the
men you are dealing with will appre-
ciate the patriotic motive underlying
your efforts that shall look forward
Aroused by the plans of the railway
mems brotherhood to demand q wage
Increase, the president has set ma
cllinery of the federal government in
motion to avert, il possible, the
threat Of paralysis of the country's
transportation systems so vital to the
war.
At conference with the heads of
the "Big Four" brotherhoods at the
White House on November %, Pres
ident Wilson will appeal to the labor
leaders to defer any struggle until af-
ter the country has passed through
the period where it's transportation
systems are so vital to the conduct
of the war.
With the announcement of this
conference, it was disclosed that
President Wilson, while entertaining
every hope for complete agreement,
does not intend to permit the coun-
try's transportation systems to be-
tied up by strike at this critical
time in the nations history. even If
it becomes necessary for the govern
ment to operate the roads.
1t was disclosed today that Judge
William L. Chambers, head Of the
federal board of mediation and con-
ciliation, already has been holding
conferences with the heads of tho
"Big Four" .brotherhoods. The sta
tus of the proceedings SO far shows q
disinclination of brotherhood heads
to commit themselves to a plan arbi-
trating their difference, and the hope
of government negotiators is for an
agreement which will postpone any
disruption of transportation systems
until after the war.
class will be called to the colors ex-
cept in the gravest emergency.

For the last three days reports have
been coming in from Scandinavian
sources of the defeat of the Bolshev-
Xxi, but they have been contradicted
by wireless dispatches from Petro-
grad. This is the third time that an
account has been received of battle
at -selo, Kerensky victory
having been reported twice, and a
Bolsheviki success on one occasion.
The Finnish telegram bureaus ad-
vices SO closely parallel the dispatch
es received on Sunday and Monday,
asserting that Premier Kerensky had
overthrown the Bolsheviki, as to sug-
gest that they may be a delayed ver-
sion of the same report. which were
contradicted by the announcement
received yesterday from Petrograd
that Kerensky forces had been de-
feated.

headquarters, mobilization posts and
commissary depots. Telephones and
special lines have also been supplied
for the troops at bridges, grain depots
and other places being guarded.
In addition to the governments use
of our service, increased business &C.
tivity incident to the war has placed
further demands upon our telephone
facilities. We are handling over 80
per cent more long distance calls than
we did before the war and the num-
Der of local calls, particularly in the
larger cities, has greatly increased.
The long distance telephone facili-
ties out of the city of Washington
have been more than doubled since
the war began and in all the principal
centers both the local and long dis
lance equipment has been greatly in
creased in an endeavor to handle the
heavy telephone burden caused by war
activities.
Nearly 5000 skilled telephone engi-
neers and maintenance men from the
Bell system alone have been organ
lied into signal corps battalions for
service with the armies in the field.
Many more of our men are with the
national guard and in other branches
of the country's military service.
The situation confronting us has
caused great difficulty in getting and
installing equipment for the most ur-
gent private needs. Our long dis
lance facilities are loaded to their. ut
most capacity and our local service in
some localities is suffering on account
of the conditions over which we have
no control.
AS the war continues the govern.
ment's requirements for trained tele-
phone men and for service and equip
ment are increasing. The present
business activity is also likely to be
extended as the war goes on. In the
interests of all, we hope that our pa
irons will ask for no additional equip
ment unless absolutely essential to
the conduct of their business and that
they will put every possible restraint
on the unnecessary and extravagant
use of our local and long distance
service
