Minneapolis High School Athlete.
Report Licking Fritz Greatest
Game of All

Bob Mcintyre, popular greeter at
the Hotel Mckenzie, yesterday re.
ceived a letter from his nephew and
namesake, Bob Mcintyre of Mime
apolis, who, with his brother, Bill Nc
Intyre, former gridiron star of the
West high school in the Mill City, is
serving with the headquarters com.
pany, 151st field artillery, 42nd divi.
sion, somewhere in France.
Bob doesn't think much Of the
French towns on the west front. He
doesn't find there the beauty he had
expected in the land of the lilies.
And he doesn't like the weather,
which is over-sufficient moist, but he
is enjoying soldiering; says the boys
have comfortable wooden barracks
which keep the rain out and the heat
in, and that everyone is feeling fine
in high spirits and confident of vic
tory.
William Mcintyre at the time he en-
listed turned down a free scholar
ship at Columbia won by his gridiron
prowess and his good standing in the
Minneapolis high school classes. He
writes that licking Fritz" beats any
game he has yet tried.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Austria- Hun
garian subjects in the United States
most of the million or more of whom
are laborers and are loyal to the al.
lied war cause, will suffer few re.
strictiOns as a result OF war between
the lands of their birth and adoption
In a proclamation today declaring
q state Of war with Austria Hungary,
in accordance with the act of con.
gress, President Wilson specified that
unnaturalized ustro.Hungarians, un.
like the Germans in this country,
should be free to live and travel any
where, except that they may notienter
or leave the United States without
Permission, and those suspected of
enemy activity may be interned.
They need not register with police
or post.office officials, as Germans
will be required to do shortly, and are
not barred from the 100 yard zones
about the piers, docks and warehouses
closed to Germans, and are not re-
quired to leave the District of Colum.
bia.
The presidents motive in drawing
distinctions between Germans and
Austrians was described as two fold.
First, 1t was realized that the SYM
pathy of Hungarians, Rumanians,
Poles, Serians, Czechs, Slovacs and
other immigrants from the Austro.
Hungarian empire, generally is not
with the mother country In the war,
and they have not been guilty Of the
multi-form campaign OF violence prac-
ticed under the German war system.
Second, such large proportion OF
laborers in muniti0n and steel plants
and coal mines consists of Austrian
subjects that it was found practically
impossible to administer against them
the rigid regulations imposed on the
Germans who are half as numerous
and more individualistic.
The department of justice even
abandoned its former plans to register
Austrians along with Germans because
of the immensity of the task and the
administration determination to min
imize EN- mbarrassment to the Austrians,
thousands of whom have demonstrate.
ed their loyalty to this country by
enlisting in the army and navy.
AS an indication of the presidents
difference in feeling toward subjects
of the dual monarchy it was pointed
out that nowhere in the proclamation
did he use the phrase "alien enemies
as was done in previous proclama'
tions referring to Germans. Repeated
" he referred only to natives, citi-
zens, denizens or subjects" of Aus
tria- Hungary.

R[C!STRANTS NOT LET
OFF THROUGH SECOND
DRAFTS OPERATIONS
Mistaken Impression Prevails as
to Effect of New Regulations,
Board Finds

The district board, whose staff is
still grinding on the first 'lraft at the
federal building, calls attention to an
erroneous impression held by many
registrants with regard to the second
draft. The new draft does not excuse
those who have been examined and
passed by the boards engaged in the
first draft. They are still liable to
call, in the order of their service num-
ber, providing the number OF men IN
class one, on any particular call, is
insufficient to meet the demand. Thus,
should there be call for 80 men in
any particular county, and should the
draft one class offer but 60 eligibles,
20 of the men selected on the first
draft will be summoned in order of
the mum bers which fell to them when
their names were drawn at Washing
ton.
