"The approval of the new national
army bill and the Presidents pro-

limits prescribed will be required to
present themselves for registration at
the customary voting places in the
voting precincts in which they have

county physician, acting ex of1cio,

SENATOR NELSON'S VIEWS
Stevens County Has Sent Its Quota
For a Half Million Men Without
Draft

All inquiries addressed to either
Washington or st. Paul as to wheth-
er or not Stevens county will receive
credit for the large number of vOlun-
teer enlistments here when cOnscrip-
ton is enforced have met with no
definite answer Mayor E. J. Jones
addressed a message to Senator
Knute Nelson and has also been con-
ferring with state officials in st. Paul
this week, and while he found sub
stantial agreement with his opinion
that the county should have credit,
yet no definite ruling has been made.
Mayor Jones also believes that if
conscription is to be enforced, then
the farm boys who have volunteered
should be given honorable dis
changes, and he hopes to see such
ruling made.
Following are the kilograms from
Mayor Jones to Senator Nelson and
from Senator Nelson to Mayor Jones,
on this subject
Morris, Minnesota, May End, 1917.
Hon. Knute Nelson,
Washington, D. c.
Approximately sixty young men
of Stevens county have volunteered
for service.
Kindly advise if this splendid
showing will be recognized when it
comes to enforce conscription.
To follow this magnificent volun-
teer movement with further deple-
tion of the ranks of our young men
by cOnscriptiOn would seem an in
Justice
About fifty others are eager to en-
list, but before doing so, we would
like to be advised as to whether or
not our ranks will again be depleted
by conscription or whether credit
will again be given for the showing
already made.
E. J. JONES, -,
Mayor.
Mayor E. J. Jones,
Morris, Minnesota.
Dear Sir
Your telegram received. Under
the new army bill, which is now in
conference and has not yet become
a lava copy of which l enclose
the boys who enlist after the bill be-
comes a law will be credited to your
county. The bill does not seem to
provide for those who have enlisted
prior to date of the same becoming a
law, but I have communicated with
the Militia Division Of the War De-
partment, and it is their opinion that
your county would probably be given
credit for those boys who have al
ready volunteered to whom you re-
fer in your telegram.
Yours truly,
KNUTE NELSON.

ton on the same question from C.
