existing land laws (Which have in
large part failed of their purpose) will

suggested bids fair to really accomp-

1t is to offer a suggestion of the
change that is needed that this letter
is written.
In considering this whole question
as related to Hawaii it is necessary
to remember that in no other part of
the United States, as far as know, is
an effort being made to homestead
land where wealthy corporations are

Cass county's contribution to the
worlds greatest move for freedom"
has hit the sum of $4,000, all paid for,
according to announcement made late
this afternoon by L. w. Clemens.
This is the result of the first day aft
er the whirlwind campaign made Mon
day by committees in three automo-
biles. Cass county is expected to sub
scribe 100000 or 10 per cent of the
capital and surplus of it's b<nks. Bank
ers in Fargo are so optimistic that
they believe 100000 will be pledged.
The campaign for subscriptions for
the Liberty Bonds is not only being
made by the bankers of Fargo but by
the commercial club, the Patriotic bu-
reau, auxiliaries, allied merchants as
sociations and individuals. Everywhere
organizations in the city and the coun-
~ are urging their employees to take =
share of the bonds whether the pay
ment is made in cash or in monthly
payments.
Everyone will be given a chance to
do his or her share. Whether you have
savings or not, the committee will show
every employe how he can earn l-2
per cent interest on money that is not
yet in his possession and do the coun-
try an actual service while he is doing
II. This means that the committee will
assist you in mortgaging your income,
and when the government returns the
money with the rate of interest, it is in
reality saving.
The Fargo committee does not plan
to use the savings of the people but to
mortgage the incomes OF the future
thus not demoralizing business condi-
tions of the country.

Washington, May EDO not hide
behind petticoats or children to avoid
service in the new national army" is
the injunction or Provost Marshall
General Crowder in an official guide
he has issued to show how questions
put to those who register on June 5
should be answered. The guide ex-
plains that there is no desire by the
government to draft anyone who is the
sole support of any man, woman or
child, but points out that unless the
person you have in mind is solely de-
pendent on you. exemption should not
be granted"
The registrar will drop permanent
ly from the list those with physical
defects such as the absence of a leg
or an arm making unfitness for mill
itary service obvious, but all other
claims for exemption will be passed
upon by the local BOARD. The appli-
cant will be required to state specific
ally the character of the work he is
performing in order that the board
may judge If it warrants him from
serving. If you are a felon or morally
deficient and claim exemption on those
grounds it must be so stated.
The difference between a natural

planned carefully and it is pointed out
that even aliens within the age limit
will be required to register although

Do not deprecate the chappie who is
really never happy
Unless he's running riot at the dance;
Whose idea of having pleasure is in
trotting to a measure
In which harmony can never have a
chance.
Though his clothes are rather fussy and
his manners somewhat mussy,
And he wears his hair as though he
we're a seal;
And he believes the guys jay who
doesn't play the cabaret,
And he's sure the dramas written

For he's going to change his clothes
and give up those silken hose,
When rough-neck party stakes him
to gun,
And drives him out and drills him and
with exercise near kills him,
And wakes him up when sleep has

oners on her have said she both re-
ceived and sent out dispatches daily
This sending feature of German
raiders and submarines has puzzled
shipping men all along. For IN
stance, the German submarine
Deutschlad on her two voyages to
this country with cargoes, sent our
messages frequently on her trips
across the Atlantic; yet SO far as
was known none of them ever reach
ed but German ears. At the end OF
three months OF recruiting the
Seeadler had captured twelve yes
sells and sank eleven of them. Those
destroyed totalled 10000 tons.
On March 81 she captured the
French bark Cambronne off the
Island of Trinidad. On March 30 she
arrived at Rio Janeiro with 300 MEM
bers of the crews Of vessels sunk by
the raider. Before sending the Cam
bronze into port with captives the
crew Of the Seeadler rendered the
cargo of nitrate on the French bark
unfit for munition purposes.
None OF the captives had word
of complaint to make OF the treat
ment they received at the hands OF
the Germans. When the ships We're
overhauIed they were given plenty
of time to save themselves and their
personal belongings. The only thing
required of them was to carry on
board the raider the provisions on
their ships. Life on the raider was
said to have been one of plenty.
Even the captives were given beer in
moderation. They were permitted to
roam about the deck and had plenty
of exercise. This feature was in con-
trast to tales told by captives OF the
German raider under steam which
preyed on commerce in the South
Atlantic last winter.
OF the vessels sunk Ave were Brit
ish, five French and one Italian.

MEXICO WILL not Be
FORCED into WAR
Country Can Give No Aid, Says obre-
gon and Self-respect Compels
Neutrality.
(By Associated Press. }

Mexico City, May 22.-It was indi-
Gated here today that thorough under
standing existed among government
officials that the United States had not
and would not exercise pressure to
force Mexico to take sides. in the war.
Gen. Aware Obregon, who recently
resigned as minister of war, explained
today the reason which prompted Mex
leo TO endeavor to maintain absolute
neutrality during the war. At a fare
well dinner before his departure to-
Sonora, he said Mexico's self-respect
called for this policy. Even If Mexico
Joined in the war, he said, she could
give no effective aid. She could furnish
neither men, ships, supplies or money.
Under such conditions Mexico could
not with self respect enter the war
unless forced to do SO and certainly
not merely for the sake of gain.
Gen. Obregon indicated that benefits
which might accrue to Mexico from a
declaration for one side or the other
were appreciated clearly. but said it did
not seem to him TO be compatible with
the dignity Of the nation to accept
such benefits when all that Mexico
could give in return was, as he ex-
pressed ii, our regard

New York, May 10.-With the ar
rival here from Rio Janeiro of five
American and three Scandinavian
sailors who were members of crews of
ships captured by the German raider
Seeadler, further details OF the daring
OF the German crew Of that sailing
ship, which was the captured Ameri-
can ship Pass Of Balmaha, were told.
After the American ship was cap
tured by a German submarine and
taken into Bremerhayen she was
said to have traded between German
and Scandinavian ports as the Nor
wegian ship Maletta. This her Ger
man officer told to her captives in
the South Atlantic. There is a Nor
wegian ship named Maletta which
sailed from Galveston on February
% for Aalborg, Sweden, and has not
been reported as arriving there. She
and the Pass Of Ba1maha were prac-
tically the same size.
Before the American ship was sent
on her errand Of destruction she was
almost rebuilt at Bremerhaven.
False decks and cargo bulkheads were
put in her to conceal her armament
and her auxiliary engine, a four
cylinder motor-which, by the way,
was a part of the British exhibit at the
Client (Belgium) industrial exposition
and seized by the Germans. This
motor was said to be capable Of driv-
ing her at ten knots in calm weather,
but shipping men feel that this speed
is exaggerated.
She sailed out of Bremerhaven with
papers that stated she had cleared
from a Norwegian port for the west
coast Of England with cargo OF lum-
Der. She carried deckload of lum-
Der, which helped to conceal her arma-
ment and which was thrown overheard
after she had made her way safely to
sea.
