was finished. the directors decided
that, until the club building should be
free from debt. there should be no free

The directors adopted the policy that

rooms and the auditorium, singly or in
combinations, and that these prices
should remain interchangeable on the
"one price 10 all" basis. When the club
was first asked to give its auditorium
for the French orphans meeting, the
directors thought IL best to waive the

Stockholm. Sept. 17.-The socialist
parade today was not particularly i'm
posing because Of rain. A banner at
the head of the parade bore the motto
down with secret diplomacy" 9th
er banners indicated the parade
might be considered as a peace pro-
cessiOn as well as an election pro-
cessiOn.
The organizing committee of the
Stockholm socialist conference, in its
report on the question Of holding the
conference the date for which is said
would be fixed as soon as passport
difficulties had been settled, after de-
claring that Stockholm was closely
connected with the revolution in RUS

comrades would close their ranks and
depend upon Russian democracy to

Declaring that circumstances pre-

| Chief Speaker. .-.e..,t,. .,-
Hjalmar Branting, the socialist
leader, was chief speaker at a meet
ing which was attended by $1,000 So
cialists. At the conclusion OF the ad-
dress, the following resolution was
passed.
Events of the lost few days show
how the leading circles of Germany
ruthlessly have misused the carless
confidence of the two Swedish con-
servative governments, which directed
the policy of Sweden during the war
period.
This meeting therefore emphasizes
the determination to maintain cor
rect attitude, which is felt by all the
Swedish people. We realize with in
dignation and humiliation that our
good name has been jeopardized by
the conduct Of few men. Obviously
the nations fortunes cannot continue
in the hands of these few men, who
favor such systems and methods"

cause you were compelled to come,
but because you wished to come. Your
country always profcSsed love ana
friendship for France Now you are
at home here, and every French house
is open to you. You are not like the
people of other nations because your

The resignation of Sheriff William
Haevischer, to take effect October l.,

in the Mercer county local exemption
board, which already has undergone
two changes, one on recommendation
of the board itself, and a second when

Birdzell, chairman of the district ex-
emption board, was not prepared to
state this morning whether an immed-
late change would be made in the per-
sOnnel of the board through the sher-
iffs resignation, and Governor Fra
zier, with whom a decision, or recon-
mendation, will largely rest, was in
Fargo.
Appeals Considered.
Registrants who are cOIgratulating
themselves upon having got by the
local board with dependency claims,
should defer their celebration until
the district board has had time to
consider their case. Every exemption
granted by the local board on depend
ency claims is automatically appealed
by the government to tho district
board. Interested parties furnish the
board with special information on
cases where they feel the local hoard
has been unduly lenient or partial,
and until the district board has ap-
proved the action Of the local board,
the registrant still stands chance Of
being called.
Board on Job Again.
The full membership of the district
board was on the job again this after
noon after two days respite. Excel
lent progress is being made with the
work. and the board soon will have
decided all Industrial and occupa-

ARMED FOR
VICTORY" CRY
Of ITALIANS

Rome. Sept 17.--The Popola Rom
ano, explains that Italy is the last OF
all war countries that should be ef-
fected by food shortage and adds:
"Although poorer than England and
France, and because the prOtracted
war has brought suffering to the peo-
pie, Italy should not let her troubles
appear too much on the surface nor
attempt political demonstration or
violence"
The principal excuse for the pres
ent unrest, being the bread shortage.
the newspaper asserts the govern
ment intends to issue bread cards on
October IL, limiting the consumption
individually to one-half pound daily,
since the wheat harvest was short ten
million quintals.
Evidence of a new attitude Of the
ministry toward internal disturbances
is shown in General Cadorna's mess
age to Milan, this being the first ref
: erence by the general on civil affairs
since the war began.
ANY weakness behind the lines at
this moment will be considered trea-
son. We are all armed now with the
| will to conquer and victory is at hand.
All parties must remember that Italy
knows only one way"
