Fifteen members of the Herald's
Notwithstanding Club" army are max
ing drive on the people of Western
Stearns, Todd, Douglas and Pope
counties the like of which has hereto
fore been unknown in the State of
Minnesota. Unequaled for efficien-
cy, methods of attack, fighting spirit
and perseverance, the small but pow
erful numbers are striking telling
blows, resulting in the addition OF
hundreds of new recruits for the Her.
aid and the reenlistment of many
old and faithful veteran supporters.
The first important period of the
campaign passed Saturday night with
the closing of the big extra credit Of
fer on new subscriptions. 1t was
decided success and the Herald is
forced to buy over thousand pounds
of print paper to care for the new sub
scriptions during the coming year that
have been added to it's list so far IN
the profit Sharing Club" campaign.
A number of surprises are in store
for those who are following the re-
|, suits of tie saProfit- Sharing Club"
and several new but very active menu
beers of the club are fighting their own
battles with great success. Miss Jes-

Complete Understanding

Washington, July 9.-An official re-
port just made to the American gov
1ernment showing the extent to which
Sweden is furnishing supplies to Ger
many reveals that the TeutonisapeEz
eers are receiving enormous gil
of materials that go directly Mt6 The
Manufacture of munitions port
ing iron ore to Germany, Sweden it is
shown, has supplanted shipments by
imports from the United States.
What this government will do to
end this trade through operation OF
the export control aH has not been, an
nounced, but some of the Allies, it is
: known, are urging the United States
to license no food exports to Sweden
until a definite understanding has
been reached with the Swedish govern
ment concerning her exports to Ger
many.
High Grade Ore Shipped
Iron ore shipments from Sweden to
Germany, the report declares, have
reached total of 100000 tons in the
last two years, all of it of the high
grade required in production Of fine
STEEL This, it is declared, represents
an amount equal to Sweden's entire
pre-war export.
In the first quarter of the present
year, it is set forth, Sweden imported
from the United States 10000 tons of
pig iron, while selling great quantity
of her own product to Germany. Her
pig iron sales to Germany in two years
it is. declared, have amounted to 250s
900 tons. In addition to this it is as
serted she has shipped to Germany
$4,000 tons of kerro-silicon and ferro-
manganese for hardening shells, to-
gether with large quantities of copper,
zinc, manganese, sulphur and other
ores.
Germany, the report declares, has
obtained from Sweden in two years
fully 100000 tons of wood pulp for use
as basis for cellulose, used instead
of cotton for the manufacture of high
explosives. 1t is claimed Germany al
so has obtained from Sweden large
quantities of ball-bearings for use IN
the manufacture of war vehicles and
submarines. The value of these ship
paents, the report declares, is at least
$75,000,0O0.
Allies Made to Suffer, Charge
Another charge against Sweden
made in the report is that she has dis
eliminated against the Allies in the
use of her railroads. Overland trade
through Sweden between Norway and
Germany has been encouraged, it
declared. while the Allies have been
subjected to every inconvenience and
have been charged exorbitant rail
rates. Agricultural machinery destin-
ed for Russia, the report declares, has
been held up for months, Sweden ex-
acting from Russia extraordinary bar
gains bsf6re a9flSssY was permitted.
Sweden,s action. i'll holding within
her poxs5a large merchant tonnage is
dealt with III the REPORT which declares
600, 900 tons is lying idle. Sweae =.
total tonnage is about LOCO, 600 tons

WORLDS BIGGEsT LOTTERY TAKES PLACE IN A FEW DAYS

TT NCLE SAM will pull off the larg-
- est lottery the world has ever
known, probaly Saturday of this
week, at which time the men to fill
out the regular army, the National
Guard and calling to the colors 687,-
600 men who will be trained for SER
vice across the water at the various
cantonment camps of the country.
The patriot who most desires to go
to the war may be. passed when the
day for drawing comes, and he who
hopes most that the tiny capsule con-
tanning the number may not prove
glitter pill" and fall into the hand of
chance may find he has been called
to the colors.
While all the regulations to govern
the forthcoming army lottery have not
been announced, it was learned Tues
day that the numbers of registered
citizens are to be drawn by a person
blindfolded. Who has been selected
to do the drawing is not known but he
will be some officer of the army.
To remove all doubt of absolute fair
ness in this the mightiest game of
chance ever undertaken by Uncle Sam
the serial numbers of registered cit
liens are to be placed in a great box.
each number folded up in black gela-
tin capsule. 1t was determined to have
the capsules black so that no one
might say that the number could be
seen before the drawing because a
gelatin capsule is transparent. b..
Gen. Crowder has made public 173
forms to be used in carrying out the
selection of the new army and in COM
pleting the work of the exemption
boards.
The three most interesting forms
are the notice that will be sent to all
persons selected. in the draft, the GER
tifcate of discharge for those physic-
ally deficient, and the blank to be used
in the original claim for exemption
from military service.
The notice of call, which also in
forms the eligible man when he is to
appear % for physical examinations,
contains at the bottom the "date Of
mailing" of the notice. Particular at
tention should be given to this, as
only seven days thereafter will be al
lowed in which to file claim for ex-
emption or discharge, although ten
days will be allowed to submit evil
dence after the claim is filed.
