 The communication found in Mel lows possession is said to constitute the first authentic narrative by participant in the rebellion of events leading up to the Dublin rioting. The writer said he believed the shipment of arms and ammunition to Ireland aboard the steamer Aud, which was sunk on the way, was arranged from America without the knowledge of Sir Roger Easement, leader of the rebellion, who arranged to obtain the help of Germany.
 The author of the communication expresses the belief that in view of an agreement with Germany that if the course of the war allowed it, Germany would set up an independ- ent Ireland, it would have been ad- visable to have waited until the end

GAN FRANCISCO PRAISES STATE

When Rossiter Mikel, representing the San Francisco district federal re- serve bank in the Liberty Loan drive in this state, returned to San Fran cisco he took with him from Governor Campbell to Mayor Rolph a box of dates grown on the state house grounds. Yesterday there was re- ceived at the office Of the governor an acknowledgment by Mayor Rolph of the gift and he added:
 "But, novel as is this fruit, and in teresting, I prize it chiefly because it comes from you, the governor of the first state to announce Its minimum and the first state to announce it's maximum in the Liberty Loan drive, the state that generously over-sub- scribed the loan and has shown it's patriotism to be of the first order wherever the government has asked for a response from it's people"

 Finally, I ask that during the time hereafter to be specified as marking the sixty-day period of the classified ton, all citizens give attention to the task in hand, in order that the process may proceed to conclusion with swift ness and yet with even ana considerate justice to all"
 Supplementing the presidents call the national Provost Marshal General Crowder issued the following state ment:
 The questionnaires which Is the basis of the new system is a collection of questions bringing out the essential facts upon which all classifications are made. It Is the orly pointed form which any registrar needs to use, either in making claims or filing proof. At first sight 1t may seem little for midable. but a reading of the ques- tions shows they are simple enough for any person vFilo can read and write understandiGlgly to answer The presidents message lines up the whole legal profession of the United States as assistants of the se- lective service system and as impartial advisors to reg; 5trants in filling out their questional1es. Under the new regulations a p'tssce is to be provided conveniently to every local board where registrants may go for free advice and assistance in making out this docu- ment. The county judge or other judi cial office of similar court is placed at the head of a committee of lawyers l in each vicinity and this committee is l charged with the duty of seeing that there are always plenty of lawyers and other volunteers present to help hegistrants in filling out the question aires,
 "Questionaires are to be mailed by
 the local boar to five percent of the
 registrants each day. The principal
 work of the legal advisory boards will thus be over in twenty days, by which
 time all the eiuestionaires should be re- turned to the boards. Every man has 1 seven days in which to return his questionaires full made out. The pro-
 cess of clas sification will begin about
 December I5. Eight days later the boards will begin the great process Of classification, which becomes in the
 words of the president "a national war
 undertaking of such significance as to

It Is Of great importance, both to our military and to our economic in terests. that the classification be car Ted swiftly and accurately to a con clusion an estimate of the time neces- sary for the work leads to the con- olUsion that it can be accomplished in sixty days, but only if this great mar shalling Of our resources of men Is re- Earded by all as a national war under taking of such significance as to chal- lelge the attention and compel the as- sistsRce of every American.
 T cal upon all citizens, therefore, 10 assist local and district boards by profferlns such service and such ma terial conVeuiences as they can offer and by appearing before the boards, either upon summons or upon their own initiative to give such information as win be useful in classifying regis trants. I urge men of the legal pro- fession to offer themselve as associate members of the legal advisory boards to be provided in each community for the purpose of advising registrants of their rights and obligations. and of as sisting them in the preparation ot their answers 10 the questions which all men subject to the draft are required eo submit.
 T ask the doctors of the country to identify themselves with the medical advisory boards which are to be con- stituted in the various districts throughout the United States for the purpose of making a systematic ex- animation of the registrants.
 Tt Is important also that police of fictals of every grade and class should be informed of their duty under the selective service law and regulations, 10 search for persons who do not re- spond promptly and 10 serve the sum- mons Of local and district boards.

 Not since the war began has such an opportunity been offered for prac- tically every person to take an active and vigorous part in so important a war measure as the actual raising of our armies. The presidents foreward offers this opportunity. It gives a def mite place for the doctors to work in making the physical examination. For the first time it assigns every lawye. to active duty in building up the na- tional army. In the legal advisory boards 1t gives every one who responds to the presidents call a place in the ranks of the army behind the army.
 The nation already has a remark able record of efficiency in adjusting it's political machinery to the registra- tion of ten million men within eighteen days after the enactment of the law authorizing registration. It is now proposed to better this record by classi- flying ten million men in a period of sixty days"

British Are Successful

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE, Nov. 10.-- By the Associated Press-The British successfully carried out a small but important operation today north and northwest of Passchendaele whereby the salient about Paschendaele and Goeberg was considerably widened, giving the British firm grip on their recently acquired positions in the northern crest of the ridge.
 The advance was over 2,5o0 yard front and the extreme depth reached was about 800 yards. The attack wat carried out with the precision which has marked all the recent British movements in Flanders. At an early hour it was reported that not only had the objectives been reached, but some of the men had even gone beyond the northward along the ridge.
 Hard fighting occurred at several strongly fortified farms held by the enemy. Two positions north of Mos- sellemarkt were still holding out at lat est reports although the British were reported to have pushed we'll beyond both these places, leaving them to be mopped up by the reserves.
 North of Goeberg there was several strong concrete positions and fighting was proceeding between the British and the defenders who were holding on stubbornly. Here also the British ad- vance line was beyond all those strnns- holds. One point had been been stormed and entered twice by the Brit. ish and twice they had withdrawn be- fore counter attacks before noon.
 The enemy artillery fire was heavy all day, especially between Bellevue and Passchendaele and the enemy air. craft were exceedingly active, despite the bad visibility.
 An interest1g report was received from the Gheluvelt region that the en- emy was displaying great nervousness and sending up s. o. S. flares, indicat- ing that he thought an attack there was impending. No operation was undertaken by the British in that sec tion today.
 The attack was begun at s:05 o'clock in the rain, which had been falling l nearly all night The ground along

 T believe 1t would have then been possible to run guns on a huge scale and arm every man in Ire land," the writer continues. T am fully convinced that, the war ending and the promised home rule bill not forthcoming, the ranks of the volun- teers would be largely augmented. I would safely reckon on having 30,000 armed and dependable men.
 T believe it would have been much wiser to wait for some issues which would justify our cause in the eyes of the people, who were very hostile when the insurrection broke out and remained hostile until the lexecution of our leaders,"

LONDON, Nov. 11-Premier Ker- ensky arrived at Luga, 85 miles southwest of Petrograd, last We'd nesday and the garrison there at tested its loyalty to his provisional government according to Petro- grad dispatch of Saturday to the Weekly Dispatch. Saturday morn ing he reached Gatchina, where the same thing happened.
 The newspapers advices added that troops loyal to the provisional government are known to be near Petrograd and a division of Cos sacks is on the march from Finland. This news was given out at the Smotny Institute. headquarters of the Worlmen'ss and Soldiers con- gress.

The political section will be com posed of two ministers from each country, one of whom in each case, if possible, will be the premier. It will meet in Paris twice a month to pass on the decision of the military section. The plan is welcomed here as step in the right direction, but certain commentators feel that it does not go far enough and is not likely to give sufficient assurance of unity in command of action.

places the wind struck head on and
at others there was a considerable
twist to it.

MEN MAY NOT CAMP
AT FORT LINCOLN

Bismarck, N. D., July 31.-Infor-
formation gained at the state capitol
from a telegram to military officials
of the state from the war department
is to the effect that the North Dakota
troops will probably not concentrate
at Fort Lincoln, but will go direct
from their home stations to. some
training camp. The telegram ordered
the assignment Of one company from
each of the two North Dakota regt-
,ments to make ready to move in adj
vance of the regiments to prepare the
camp. The order was also thought to
mean that the men would not leave
the state until october 5, although
this point vas not made clear.
Regiment commanders have been
informed Of the order by Adjutant
General A. G. Fraser. Company Isof
Bismarck, has been designated by
Colonel White of the Second regi-
ment, to proceed in advance of the
regiment as soon as ordered to do so
by the war department.
