SAYS WE GROW RUTHLESS
Editor of Politiken Writes Alnerica' Does Not Understand Position of Denmark and Other Neutrals.

Copenhagen, July 7.-The Ekstra- Politiken, commenting on the pro- posals to limit supplies to Scandinavia and Holland, complain that the en- tente powers with America at the head, lack appreciation of the diff1- cult position of small neutrals and proposed measures of the great powers in the name of liberty, justice and civilization are calculated to crush these small states whose sole desire is to maintain true neutrality toward both camps.
 Judging from these reports the situation Is regarded ss desperate. The Politiken says America seems to lack the most elementary apprecia- tion of Denmark's difficulties. It says that articles from influential Ameri- can papers indicated the United States intends to force Denmark either to join Germany and starve or join the entente and share the fate of Belgium. The American policy, which from the outbreak of the war was never neutral but English, the paper continuesf1 now has become American, that is to say still more ruthless toward neutrals than was the English. All that Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland demand is permission to remain neutral and avoid starvation. Even this modest desire seems in danger of becoming illusory.

RUSSIANS HIT IN NORTH;
 CITY OF PlNSK BURNING
DRAFT DELAYED BY DELINQUENT STATES
No Drawing of Names Be-
 fore Middle of Week at Earliest.

Washington. July 7.-Prospects for setting in motion the draft machin- cry for the new national army by Monday, as planned by Provost Mar shal General Crowder, were regarded today as remote since organization is complete in only eight states. DeHn- quent states probably will make it necessary to defer the first drawing till the middle of the coming week. The method to be followed in mak- ing selections has not yet been dis closed by war department officials. The general outline of the plan, how ever, is indicated by the emphasis laid on the serial numbering of the cards. coupled with Secretary Bakers an- nouncement that drawings will be held in Washington.
 It is understood that when single number is taken from the jury wheel, the man in each district whose card bears that number will be drafted. AS each number is drawn approximately 30, 900 men will be conscripted, or one from each exemption district.
 New York, July 7-Indications here today were that the draft exemption boards in New York city would be un- able to, meet the desire of Provost Marshal Crowder that serial numbers be given to all copies of registration cards and that compilation of the lists of those registered be completed by tonight. It was said g. majority or the boards would not organize before Monday and that the numbering or cards and the filing of lists would be delayed until Wednesday.
 
 Boston, July 7-The work of copy ing the registration cars for the draft in this state has been completed by the force of clerks in the office of Charles F. Gettemy, director of mili- tary enrolment for the state.

FORMER EMPLOYES OF GERMAN
 EMBASSY ORDERED FROM COUNTRY
Clerks and Servants of Con- sulates As We'll Must Get Our - Spy Net Being Frightened.

Washington, July 7.-All Germans formerly connected either with the German embassy or any one of the many consulates in America have been requested to leave the United States. Notlhcat1on that their presence in America is undesirable has been sent them by the state depe rtment
 The Germans, who principally are clerks or servants, were not told that they were suspected of being spies. The inference that their loyalty to the German emperor might make it diff cult for them to remain in this coun- try without attempting to send infor- mation of a military character to their government was made clear.
 Among the first to go will be Hein- rich Schaafhausen, formerly attached to the German embassy but left be- hind by Count von Bernstorm and since attached to the department of German interest of the Swiss lega- tion. There are also many clerks and servants, at least they have served in such capacities in this country. There is ground for belief that some of them are persons of more importance to the German intelligence system.
 
 of the much discussed despatch to the Cologne Gazette at the time diplo- matic relations were severed, still is in Washington.
 Although the bulk of the Austrian embassy staff departed with their am bassadors two of Germany's allies still have their representatives here.
 There are many indications that the government is taking steps to tighten the spy net
 When the government agreed to all tow the transfer of many former Ger man employees to the Swiss legation and consulates there was no state of war between the United States and Germany, but the declaration of the war and the Knowledge that Germany 1 maintains an efficient spy system here have changed the governments atti- tude. The cleaning out of former German officials here is but the first step in a systematic attempt to root the spy sys- tenn out in this country.

THE DAY AND IT'S DUTIES

Fifth Day of June, Registration Day
A Day Destined to Loom Large
in HISTORIAN Appeal to the Peo-
pie of North Carolina by Gov. Bick-
EFT
Gov. Beckett has issued the follow
ing appeal to the people of North
Carolina:
North Carolinians, the fifth day
of June draws nigh. 1t behooves us
to put our house in order and be
ready for it's coming. All peoples in
all Chimes have their eyes fixed on
that day-the day wherein a mighty
nation is to register it's consecra-
tion to selfless services in the cause
of universal justice and abiding peace.
The day is destined to loom large in
history and will be forever linked
with a worldwide acceptance of the
rights of man first declared at Phila-
delphia and made secure at York
town.
Happily in North Carolina there
is no longer division or debate. With
a faith that casts out fear we go
forth to register stern challenge
to the blood-red prestige of band
of hereditary autocrats who have
made unto themselves and unto
their people an Iron Image and call
ed it God.
But the registration in a single
day of all the men in the State be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and
thirty-one calls for persistent and
systematic work. I therefore urge
l. That all ministers of the gos-
pei of every race and creed call at.
tention at every service conducted by
them between now and the fifth Of
June to the following duties of citi
zenship and commands of the law:
az That the registration book:
will open at 7 a. m. on Tuesday, the
5th day of June, and close at 9 p. m
(2) That it is important to regis
ter early in the day in order to avolt
congestion in the closing hours.
(S) That the law applies to white
and black alike. (Also to Indians, O.
course. Editor. Ministers and teach
ers of the colored race are request
ed to emphasize the fact that all col
ored men between the prescribed age
are required to register in preclsel.
The same manner as the whites.
(4) That no physical disability will
excuse a man for failing to regis
ter. If he is between twenty-one an
thirty-one years of age he must reg
ister in person or send his card n
matter what his physical condition
may be. The question Of exemptin
him from service on account of phys
ical unfitness will be determined a
"a later day. 1t in no way affects tn
obligation imposed upon him to reg
lister.
(5) That if a party willfully fail
to register he will forthwith be al
