Next Increment of Drafted

1T would be good thing for all
concerned if the examination of all
drafted men were ordered and the
dates for the call under the second
draft fixed," Guy E. Dilley, chairman
of the Third division board, said.
''The boards as now organized
could then go ahead with the work
and it would save lot of time and
trouble. If the boards quit after the
last increment in the present draft
has been sent, many of the members
may resign, for they already have
given a great deal more time to the
work than they expected.

eff the men were given seven days
instead of five, from the date of send
ing the notice, to appear for exam
ination they could then present their
exemption claims at the time of ex-
animation and more trouble would
be saved. If the men knew the date
when they would be called they
would not be up in the air. as some
think, but would know just what to
expect"

AUTOlST BUMPS HEAD;
DEATH REPORT SPREADS

Carl Davis met with a peculiar
accident yesterday that might have
proved serious. And Mr. DAWN can
thank his lucky stars it was no
worse. He was driving a car around
the road which turns off Bemidji
avenue and around the buildings on
the lake shore where autos go while
the new pavement is going down,
and in making the turn around the
elevator his car rammed the corner
and Mr.. Davis was thrown against
the elevator. His head struck the
corner "a hard wallop and cut his
forehead.
Reports were spread, even this
afternoon, that "a man had been
killed, etc." but the livest dead man
in the city today is Mr.. Davis.

said.
Orders have been issued to the dis

the men from the more distant points
starting first.

The order stated, however, that a
definite date for entrainment had not
been received. Captain Henderson
fof the adjutant generals office con-
frmed this when a telegram was re-
ceived from General Crowder, the
provost marshal general, stating that
he could not fix definite date until
he had heard from the chief of staff.
The adjutant generals office then
asked for October 81 and the officers

Washington, Oct. 8.-Germany's
U-boats along the Belgian coast are
to be throttled, if good weather re-

BEMIDJI R0MPS
OVER F0SST0N BY
SCORE OF }6 TO I
IN OPENING GAME
Fosston's Heavy Line Does Good
Work But Backs Count Little
in the Contest.
LOCALS FALTER ONCE BUT
BRACE AND PUSH FORWARD
J Bemidji Comes Strong in Last Half :;
Kicking Goals Faulty; Ends
Play Brilliantly.

Bemidji opened the war season of
football with SO to victory over
Fosston on the local gridiron Sat-
,urday afternoon. Bemidji's eleven,
although displaying many weakness
es, showed the result of three weeks
training. The locals were decidedly
off in kicking goals after touch
downs, mot kicking a single goal.
While there were only four veterans
in the lineup, the local worked pre-
cisely for the most part, there being
very little fumbling for the first
game. Bemidji's backfield composed
of Tennstrum, Kittleson, Whitney
and Morse, in general showed great
promise.
Fosston Line Heavy.
Fosston presented an impressive
front, outweighing the Bemidji line,
but the Fosston backs did not count
much. With the exception of the
Nthird quarter, when Fullback Larson
Droke loose for 80 yards and a touch
down for the visitors only score,
they made practically no gains of
Importance. Bemidji faltered in
only one period, and that was the
last one, when the ball was brought
to the locals 8-yard line on 15-
yard penalty. The local braced like
a stone wall and took the ball on
their own 5-yard line. Kittleson
broke loose on the first play for 20
yards and then Tennstrum, Whitney
and Morse carried it to the center of
the field on successive plays.
Straight Football Wins.
Bemidji for the greater part of
rtbe time relied, on straight football
for her gains, especially in the first
three periods, only occasionally mix
ing in a forward pass to drive back
the Fosston secondary defense. In
the last quarter open field play feat
ured the Bemidji offensive, several
touchdowns resulting from long for
ward passes. "Galloping" Carl
Tennstrum featured largely in the
heaving of the long spirals as we'll
as the short bullet passes.
Only one touchdown was scored
in the first quarter and none in the
second period, due to the slowness of
The locals in getting off their plays.
The first half ended with to
score with the locals on the long
end. In the last half Bemidji ran
completely away, making 80 points.
Grey's Great Work.
Captain Grey at right tackle and
Opsahl who has been shifted from
center to left tackle, showed con-
sistent playing, especially on the de-
fense, the former stopping every play
that was directed at him. Knapp and
Koors at the guards give promise
of developing into linemen of the
first magnitude, the latter time after
time breaking through and spilling
the Fosston backfield. Harvey at
center looked mighty good for a re-
cruit, not once making bad pass
in his initial game.
: Ends Are 'There."
At the ends, Phibbs, Simons and
Doran turned in everything that
came their way. All three are hard
tacklers and sure receivers of the
pass which is vital necessity in the
open style of play. Phibbs also
. showed to advantage when called up
S>on to carry the ball and no doubt

Blackduck Sends Scouts.

A number of the Blackduck high
school football players were at the
game Saturday to scout for their
team. Bemidji plays the Blackduck
eleven here Friday afternoon. Black
duck is coached by Harry E. Reese
of River Falls, Wis, former Ham,
line university athlete. Coach Reese
must have developed some team to
pile up a score of A to against
International Falls, so Friday will
see another good game and which no
doubt will draw even larger crowd
than the Fosston game.

Letter From W. I. Christopher.

The Times-Recorder has been asked
to publish the following communica-
ton, which appeared in the Macon
Telegraph recently, as it is believed
that it will be Of interest to local vet
Grams:
To The Editor OF The Telegraph: nj
your paper a few days ago it was stat
ed that "the pension bill did not get
through, though it passed both houses"
If it passed both houses, it certainly
got through and became a law unless
the Governor vetoed it. If he did veto
it, it has escaped my attention How
ever, the governor should have vetoed
it, as the mill is nothing and half and
then half OF that. TIE Mccall bill as it
passed the horse changed the date OF
marriage of veterans widows from
l187O to 1881 and the amount Of prop
erty a veteran should have was chang
ed from 5 500 to $4,000. The senate
changed the house Ill from 5000 to
SO 900 and placed the date back to
1870 as it had been since 1870. Tie
origin al Mccall bill was very moderate
demand. and the house and senate hasg
H..chered it up so it is worse thar -
hill at all. and the writer along with
Governor Dorsey would stick to his
veto knife into it, and put the misera-
BILE abortion out of existence, as it is
an open insult to. the veterans of Geor-
gia. Florida pays her veterans SIS
month and pays it monthly. Georgia is
a richer state than Florida and should
pay as much.
A prominent son of veteran OF
Americas told me while the legislature
was in session that if the present legis-
lature does not give these old men a
decent pension the sons would get in
the fight and elect a legislature that
would do it. W. T. CHRISTOPHER,
