too, must turn our whole attention to
war. Nothing ear be done by halves"
{. A. Severance of ST. Paul, chair
man of the American Red Cross COM
mission to Serbia, has returned and
gave this message to the northwest.
He spent three months abroad and
had opportunity to see the great on
tiict in all its phases.
\ month ago Mr.. Severance left
Serbia and since visited Rome. the
Italian front. Paris and London.
Conditions in Serbia. that part
which has been regained from the
AuStrians. are bad. he said. Food.
clothing, medical supplies and many
other things are needed at once.
Mr.. Severance thinks the commits
sion has the situation well enough in
hand to administer relief.
Throughout the entente allied coun.
tries, Mr.. Severance said he found a
feeling of optimism as to the final out
come of the war. Everybody is deter
mined to win. but all realize victory
means a tremendous sacrifice. For
this reason they have made war their
business. That is all they talk.
The great burdent Of the future
nus be borne by England and the
United States in the opinion of Mr..
Severance. In England he found the
people ready TO spend their last dol
lar and their last man. They expect
the same of the United States.
Sending money and a few air
planes will not win the war" Mr..
Severance said. There is no use try
ing to disguise the situation with OPP
timistic reports. 1t is most essential
that we all realize what is before us
and buckle down to the task by throw
ing all our resources into the conflict,
just as the other countries have done
In all his travels in the war coun-
tries, Mr.. Severance found the people
friendly to Americans. He said this
was most pronounced in the music
halls Of London.
Mr.. Severance reached Italy just
about the time the Austro-German
armies began their drive on the Ison-
20. He expected to visit this front,
but the party vas halted at Trevisio.
Instead he went to the foremost lines
in Trentino.
"The Italians have done some won
derful work in this section" Mr.. Sew
crane said. speaking of the Trentino.
They had taken guns up mountains
5000 and 5000 feet high. The troops
We're in high spirits, were well
equipped and Oficered.
Mr.. Severance visited the Italian
army in Albania and there, as in the
Trentino, he found the soldiers well

THE DRAFT IN THE STATE

The secretary of the district exemp-
ton board, which is the state, has is
sued his abstract of the first selective
draft for South Dakota. While the
report of the different counties is in
|tercsting, the figures that apply 10
BroOkings county are the ones that
appeal to you and | the most. The
population has been figured from the
registration and gives us 1906. 1901
men registered and the quota for the
county to furnish was 176. We were
given credit for 6S enlistments, which
did not include any who went into
the marines or the navy. And in the
adjustment of claims we were allowed
five more, which placed our net quota
at 103. 2S5 men We're called by the
local board and us We're DISCHARGED
by them, making 1877 that were certi-
fed to the district board. 142 were
held for service. There We're 81 ap-
peals taken from the local board and
in II of these the said board was re-
versed. There were rs industrial
claims for exemptions filed and Z We're
allowed. Is appeals were taken TO the
president, and these have not yet been
decided. 10 foreigners were certified
from this county.
In the whole state 534 appealed
from the local boards and 227 cases
of the local board was reversed.
There We're 1876 claims for industrial
exemption and 1856 were allowed. out
of 354 appeals taken to the president
only 3 were allowed by him. In II
cases the district board was sustained
the balance are not yet reached
The population of the state was
figured to be Sc 1880 and the total
number who registered were 5S,&72.
The quota for South Dakota to furnish
was 7,040, and as 1925 had already en-
listed in the army. the net quota
which the state furnished was 2,7l5.
Only 1S4 foreigners were registered
in the whole state.
Ten counties were exempt from fur
nishing men as they already had their
full number or more, previously en-
listed. Bennett county has the dis
tinction of not having a man dis
charged by the local board, and of
having no claims for exemption and
no appeals. They were called on TO
certify 20 men to the district board
and every man was ready to go. Min
nehaha county had the largest regis
tration with 1877 and Buffalo county
the smallest with 100. Shannon,
Washington and Washabaugh coun-
ties only had 38 registrants between
them and they were added to Fall
River county. Armstrong county
with a population of PA had no regis
trants.

keokuk Residents Have Been Re-

Keokuk residents have been request
ed to mail their Christmas parcels
early.
This request does not only apply to
parcels sent to soldiers in camps
abroad or in this country, but to all
nackages mailed for Christmas de-
livery.
The postoffice department, in an or
der received at the local ONCE TINS
morning, says that mailing conditions
this year will be unprecedented, ana
II is urged that people get their holi-
day mail out early.
Following Is the order taken from
the daily bulletin of the postoffice de-
partment:
"The attention Of all postmasters is
invited to the necessity of an unusual
ext ensive campaign for the early mail
inc of Christmas parcels. There is
every reason to believe that the con-
ditions this year will be unprecedented
rot only because OF the soldiers abroad
and in the cantonments, but because
of the present prosperity prevailing
throughout the country and conges'
ton of other means of transportation
1.-THE high wages and the abnormal
earnings of many persons of moderate
circumstances will no doubt cause
them to give more generously this
Christmas than in previous years. All
parcels intrusted to the department
must be delivered promptly. To dc
this it will not only require an extern
sive campaign for early mailing, but
