How love you Let me do
Something quickly for your sake

IN GERMANY

Him-This COnsidered Reginning

Bethmann- HOlweg Resigns as Can
cellOr and DIR. Michaelis Succeeds
Him-This Considered Beginning
of Far Reaching Developments
A London dispatch of the 18th
states that the political turmoil which
has been conyulsing Germany ever
sinceRussia's first startling success on
the resumption Of her offensive has
culminated for the present in the
resignation Of the Imperial @Chanea a.-
lor, DR.. Won Betrmanfi Hollweg, but
all indications serve to show that his
resignation, far from being the last
act in the drama, is but the bey.nning g
of 1ar-,es ching developments which
arc bound to affect the fabric Ct the
German empire and have momentons
consequences on the progress Of the
European struggle. The Intervention
of the Crown Prince, who was sum-
moned by his father to share delib-
erations affecting the. dyRastYssand
veg, coupled with his notorious dis
like for political reform, is said to
have precipitated the Chancellor's res
ignation. DR.. Georg Michaelis, bu-
reaucrat without even noble "von'
before his name, succeeds Bethmann-
Hollweg, becoming Germany's first
commoner Chancellor. No indication
has been given of what his policie:
will be.
Yesterdays papers mentioned ru
mors of the abdication of Emperor
William and a strike of the German
Reichstag, but these rumors have re
ceived no confirmation and are no
mentioned in this mornings papers
1t is also reported, according to dis
patch of the 18th from Copenhagen
that Count Brockdorff-B -Bantzau, tn
German Minister at Copenhagen, ha
been selected to succeed DR.. Alfre'
Zimmerman as Imperial Foreign Sec
/ retary.

ARMY DRAFT REGULATIONS
How Men VIII be Drawn for War
Service - Other Information For
Those Who Are Registered for
Military Service

10 the Editor of The RobesonIar..
On account Of numerous INQUIRIES
IN regard to the army draft act that
nave come to me from different sec
IONS OF the county, desire to make
the following brief statement for the
information of those wno are regis
tered and who may become liable for
military service:
l: Inc drawing of those who are
registered will be by lot, and will be
conducted by the War Department in
the City of Washington, and those
who are finally accepted will be call
ed into service in the order in which
they are drawn. There will be, there
fore, no possibility of favoritism or
partiality in this respect by the local
board.
z. When a man is drawn and his
name is forwarded to the local board
he will be notified of this fact by
registered mail, and will be reuuir-
ed to appear on the day named in the
notice, and will have from three to
seven days from the date of the no.
tice to appear for exemption. He
will also have seven days from the
day the notice is registered to him in
which to prepare and file his claim OF
exemption. The board in it's discre.
ton can extend the time if it thinks
a proper reason is given for exten
sion.
3. Blanks and affidavits, and 9th
er proofs supporting claims for ex
emption, will not be distributed unit
| after the drawing of the names
These blanks will then be supplied
from the office of the chairman O
/. the board and ample opportunity will
t be given for the preparation and fill
ing the same.
;. 4. The regulations prescribed fo
this board prohibit those who are reg
l., lstered from privately consulting tn
individual members of the board. A
: claims for exemption must be mad
t before the board in open meeting an
in the manner prescribed by the Wa
+ Department.
t 1t is the desire of this board to
n absolutely fair and impartial in it's d.
e cisions and it will be highly improl
er to permit any man who is register
n and whose liability must be passe
y upon to privately discuss his clai
for exemption with the individu
members Of the board, or to othe
wise attempt to exert any influen,
on behalf Of his exemption.
ct The board viii of course, at q
times cheerfully furnish any inform
A. ton it can in regard to the matt
re of exemption.

When Tobacco Got High

B. M. Lawson Of r. 1 from Lum-
berton was given a hearing before
Justice M, G. Mckenzie here Satur-
day on the charge Of breaking a con-
tract with Levy 1vey. 1vey testified

spring and was to give him a certain
piece Of tobacco and that when it was
learned that tobacco was selling so
high Lawson wanted to reduce the
size Of the patch and not give him
all that he was entitled to according
to agreement. After much of the ev-
idence had been heard the case was
compromised with the understand
ing that Lawson pay Ivey $50 for his
work and paw the cost of the action.
Quite a number of people from that
section were in attendance at the
trial.
