COUNTIES GET CREDIT
FOR VOLUNTEERS
Decision Will Materially Reduce
Valley County's Draft Quota
Take Bureau Estimate.

While Governor S. v. Stewart has
not definitely decided what basis will
be used in the allotment of the draft
quotas to the various counties of the
state, he stated Monday that in fixing
the quotas there will be taken into
consideration the men already furnish
ed by the several counties.
This will materially affect the draft
quota Of Valley county as Co. G., of
the Second Montana, is largely COM
posed of Valley county men. Many
have also enlisted in the regular army
and the navy.
"The details of the allotment have
not been determined" said Governor
Stewart, "but every county is going to
have a square deal. In fixing the
quotas consideration will be given to
the volunteers that have already been
secured in the state"
Based Upon Population.
The war department, in a telegram
from Provost Marshal Crowder, has
advised the governor that the quota
for each state will be based upon the
estimates Of population and not upon
the actual registration. This decision
operates in Montana's favor, inasmuch
as it's total registration will be from
10000 to 1900 in excess of the esti-
IN oF $hn ty,y~a
Montana has so far furnished ap-
proximately 5000 men for the Euro
pean war, and exclusive of the mer
drafted, will be expected to furnish
from 600 to 1,500 additional. If il
fails to secure these men voluntarily
the states quota of conscripts will be
increased to furnish them.
A dispatch from Washington states
that Montana is the fifth state in the
Union to fill her quota of recruits fol
the regular army. At the close of re-
cruiting Friday, Montana was credited
with 854 volunteers for the regular:
against quota of 752.
The Second Montana musters 1,50(
men and needs 500 more to be recruit
ed to war strength. If the regimen
is ordered to recruit for a reserve bat
TALON, about 700 more men will b.
needed
1t is estimated that from 800 to /,
900 Montanans have enlisted in tn
various branches of the navy, maxim,
the total enlistments to date approx
mately 5000 men.

The period of leniency for men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 30 inclusive
who failed to register for the selective
draft, ended Tuesday night, June IL.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
sent to the governors Of all the states
a message asking them Ito inaugurate
from tomorrow vigorous, aggressive
and effective enforcement Of the penal
clause of the selective service law
against all who have by their failure
to register brought themselves under
those provisions"
Heavy Penalties Attached.
The penalty for failure to register
on June fifth is Imprisonment for a
year and enforced registration, but
General Crowder Immediately after
registration day recommended that
local registration boards provide fur
ther opportunity for delinquents.
The department of justice today no.
titled United States attorneys to re-
lease those already arrested for fail
ure to register providing they have
now registered.
General Crowder had nearly COM
pleted draft of regulations to govern
exemptions and exemptions boards
and expects to lay it before Secretary
Baker in few days for approval. The
general believed no class should be
exempted as such, but that Local
boards should decide on the circum.
stances in each individual case. HI
favors use of some device such al
u jury wheel for drawing the name:
of those to be examined by the ex
emption boards. The registration will
be made public in detail after Secre
tary Baker and President Wilson ap
prove them.

CEREMONIAL CANCELLED

The summer ceremonial session OF

In canceling the meeting the ottl-

cism by those not of it's membership
The sentiment of most of the mem

SERVICE FOR FARM BOYS.

The farm herd of swine offers a
splendid opportunity for farm boys to
help their country. Too young to en-
list in the army or navy, too small to
stand up under the hard work Of a
farm hand, they can help to win the
war by taking over responsibility for
lighter work, and so relieve men for
the harder work. By taking charge of
the hogs on the farms boys will be
helping to solve the farm-labor prob
lem. They will be helping to produce
very important food for the men in
the army and navy.

week, those of Henry Hosford, a vet
eran of the Civil War, and his two
sons, and also Pat Connerton deserve
special mention. Mr.. Hosford took
$4,000 in bonds, and his sons, Harry
G. and John w., $1,000 each. Mr..
Hosford stated on buying them that
his only regret was that he could not
buy that much more. Mr.. Connerton,
Vandalia's most prominent citizen,
took a $1,000 subscription.
Complete reports from the country
districts could not be obtained, but it
is estimated that the Valley county
subscription, including Glasgow, will
reach $25O,OOO. This sum would have
been much larger had concerted
campaign been carried on to sell the
bonds to the farmers, who were busy
in the fields and seldom got to town.
Reports received here show that the
Farmers State bank of Glentana sold
$6,O5O worth of bonds; the First Ma
tional bank of Hinsdale, $4,000; Farm
ers State bank of Opheim, $3,45O, and
word received from other branches in
dicate that the remaining subscrip.
tions will amount to about $4,000.
The record subscription made by
Glasgow in taking $22O,7OO in bonds
is worthy of special commentator
The subscription was popular one
and did not reach it's large total by
the donation Of some large foreign
corporation, such as was the case with
many counties in the state. The in
dividual purchasers were the ones who
made it possible for this city to SCI
a mark that will be hard to equal.

Glasgow Makes Record in Pur.
chase Of Liberty Bonds.
Oyer-Subscribed.
RESPONSE SHOWS LOCAL PATRIOTISM
County Subscription Estimated at
$3.50. 900. Glasgow Alone Exceeded
Valley County's Quota
Of 5000, 900.

Glasgow has already "Done It's Bit"
toward aiding Uncle Sam in the
present crisis.
Besides the 689 men who registered
on June fifth for the selective draft,
this city has furnished company to
the Second Montana Infantry, and
also numerous recruits to the regular
army and the navy.
But the crowning achievement and
that which showed the true loyalty
and patriotism of the local people
was the city's subscription to the
Liberty Bond issue.
Probably no town in the United
States can equal the record made by
Glasgow in responding to the nations
appeal to "Buy a Bond" Statistics
compiled at noon yesterday approx
mated the local subscriptions at $780,
700. Taking these figures and esti-
mating the local population at 5000
the per capita subscription would
amount to s73.56.
Think of it!
Glasgow bought enough bonds tt
apportion them out in amounts o1
$73.56 for every man, woman and chile
in the city.
When Valley county's quota to th'
Liberty Loan was placed at $500, 900
some weeks ago, no one even dreames
that this figure would be reached, ant
even the local bankers, in close toucl
with the situation, never realized for I
moment that the city of Glasgow
alone would exceed those figures.
No concerted effort was made t.
sell the bonds until registration day
but from then on, = committee can
vassed the business portion Of tn
city, and they report that in the grea
majority Of cases, they met with sue
cess in selling the bonds.

scribed through the local banks:

HAVE HEARING
ON CITY BUDGET 7
Public Given Chance to Express
Opinion on Financial Plans
for the Next Year.

Tonight the city budget for 1918,
which has been approved by the Board
Of Aldermen prior to its adoption, will
be placed before the people of the city
at public hearing to be held at City
Hall. The budget figures are subject
to change If thought advisable after
the public hearing which is called for
in the Pierson laws after advertise
ment of the figures for two times
The budget so far as is known, will
not be subjected to many changes with
the exception of some minor changes
in some of the appropriations. The fig
ures as submitted in the approved bud
get have met with the individual ap-
proval of the majority of the alder
men.
Final passage of the budget will
probably be left to the board, as it
will be constituted after the first of the
year. By a resolution it could be
passed tonight but it seems likely that
the actual adoption, by an ordinance
will be left to the new board, whose
first meeting is slated to be held on
Monday, January 7.
The budget as it will be offered to-
night will call for total appropriations
to the amount of $571,36S.07, with an
estimated income of $143,9S8.65 from
anticipated miscellaneous revenues,
and an income of $4,000 from state
railroad and canal taxeN leaving the
estimated amount to be raised by tax
es, $387,37942.
Under the Pierson laws, according to
certain city officials, the budget con-
tains all items which, in previous
years, were called for in both the jan
uary and June budgets, the present
June budget containing only the ap-
preparation for schools.

AS LONDON SEES THE
GERMAN PEACE OVERTURES
BY ED. L. KEEN.

(United Press Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. 27.-Germany is try
ing to persuade the Russian people that
only the Allies now stand in the way
|of peace. The terms announced to-
day by Count Czernin, Austro-Hungar-
ian prime minister to the Brest-Lit-
ovsk conference pledged the Central
Powers apparent adherence to the
principle of mo annexation and no
indemnity" but only on condition that
England and her Allies agree TO this
same policy. Continuing. the terms
seemingly concede to Russian demands
on other peace aims. But the stip-
ulation that Russia must secure the Al
lies adoption Of all Germany's prin-
ciples, as London oflcialdom saw it to-
day, was for the obvious purpose OF
attempting to convince the Russians
that only the Allies are holding up re-
storation of peace. The move was seen
here as one of Germany's cleverest
pieces of diplomatic strategy calcu-
lated to embrace the Allies as much
as possible. Czernin's bid for peace for
the Central Powers makes it appear
that Germany Is agreeable to a pol
icy of mo annexation and no fndem-
mites" Germany disclaiming any de-
SIRE to deprive any independent nation
of political rights now possessed by
it. Germany repudiating the idea of
peace council settlement of the future
OF certain independent states.
No mention was made in the outlines
of Czcrnin's proposals as received hero
Of any payment by Germany of DAM
ages for the rayishing of Belgium. of
France and of Poland. No mention
was made also of any future guaran-
tee of world peace. Both points are
absolutely essential in the view of the
Allies. 1t was pointed out here today
that under the German statement OF
principles Germany would insist on re-
turn of all her colonies and would
hold fast to Alsa ce-Loraine.
The Teutonic concessions" found
no echo here. Britain and her Allies
have already pledged complete accept
ance of the true meaning of the mo
annexation and no indemnities" which
is included in the wider Interpretation
mo forced annexation and no punitive
payment" Llyod George has dis
claimed for the Allies any desire for
conquest. He has demanded full guar
antee of future world peace and pro-
lection from future German schemes
of certain protective areas in South
Africa. The demand for reparation is
one which the Allies will insist as they
are basic and fundamental.

Of conquest" The delegates solemn
ly declared their Willingness to imme-
dlately sign a peace ending the war ON
the condition of no annexation and no
indemnities." THY demand in return,
however, that all nations participating

people of the Central Powers would be
necessary to determine the destiny Of

serted that this was not a question to
be settled internationally, but one
which concerns the country to which
