Sentiment Growing to In
clude Aliens in Con-
scription Act
(By Associated Press }

Washington, July 1S.-All but sew
en- Of the states had reported COM
pletion of their local exemption
machinery last night encouraging
officials in their hope that drawing
of lots to determine the order OF
liability under the selective con-
scription law may be held before the
end of the week.
The war department has been in
formed that in those remaining to
report only a few local districts are
missing. Although no details have
been revealed, 1t was learned last
night that the plan of the drawing
to be held in Secretary Bakers office
virtually has been completed and that
an announcement on the subject may
be made by Provost Marshal General
Crowder today. General Crowder
may reveal enough of the details of
the plan to guide newspapers in
preparing to publish the result and
to inform registrants what facts
they must ascertain in order to
know their exact position on the
liability lists.
While these preparations are go
ing forward sentiment apparently is
growing in congress in favor of
amending the conscription act so as
to make aliens liable for service or
otherwise to relieve the requirements
placed unders the present allotment
upon communities with large foreign
population. Bills to this end have
been prepared but the administration
has not indicated that it will favor
any change. Many officials hold to
the opinion, on the other hand that
to compel aliens to serve would be
a violation of international law.

ALIENS Will
NOT Be TAKEN
into THE Army
Number of Men Enlisting
In Fargo Affected By
Government Ruling
STATION AGENT AT
MINTo rs REJECTED
Travelled to Fargo to Enlist
But asn't Full-fedg-
ed Citizen

An order which will affect the
standing of number of recruits in
the military branches of the govern
ment has been received at the ONCE
Of the United States recruiting sta
tton in Fargo and resulted in the re-
lection Tuesday OF Emil C. Rosch-
man, who had travelled from Mimic
to Fargo in order to serve under the
United States colors.
Roschman happened to be born at
Kiel In Germany and came to Amer
lea only a few years ago. II ever a
man was true to the United States
1t is he. Roschman has served as
station agent at Grandin in this state
for some time, and Is employed in
the same capacity at Minto. He Sc
cured his first citizenship papers but
has not become full-fedged citizen
of the United States. But the sad
part of all is the fact that he cannot
serve the country that he admires.
When Roschman applied at the re-
cruiting office Tuesday, Sergeant e.
F. Flint read the order received
from the war department which fol-
lows:
"By direction of the adjutant gen.
eral of the army your attention is
especially called to the policy Of the
war department that no alien can be
accepted for the army of the United
States, who is a subject of or who
may be claimed as a. subject Of any
country allied with Germany
Before these orders were received
in Fargo many men had taken out
their first papers at the Office of the
clerk of the district court Of Cass
county in order to enlist and were
accepted in the militia and the Unit
ed States army.
Now, it is very probable that when
the examination will be made, these
men will be dismissed on the ground
that they are not full-f1edged citi-
zens.
One man in Company B will be af-
fected by this order. Milos Mlaban,
born in Austria and who emigrated
to America eight years ago from
Havre. France, took out his first
papers last week and then was ac-
cepted into Company B. He claims
that his father two brothers and a
sister were killed in a revolt in AUS
tria about nine years ago and that
he has for four years not heard from
his mother.
Under the federal ruling, it is very
probable that Mlaban will be reject
ed this week by Major ]. r. Steed-
man of Bismarck, u. s. A, examining
officer, and If not, he will be when
