There was some weird play and many
anxious moments at the start of the second
hat. Pitts lead of IA TO did not seem
large enough as State was going good and
there was no telling when they would score
again. After the kickoff Easterday fumbled
and 'zarnekie fell on the ball. Here is
where the state quarterback pulled the only
bone for his side for instead of trying
for dropkick, which was a good play
under the circumstances, he attempted a
forward pass, which was intercepted by

more state got the ball within striking dis

TO add to thcr total of points m this period
but Pitt always held at critical times and

was not so effective, but the Blue and White

When Tommy Barlow made his first APP
pcarance of the season in DE Neri's lineup
more than week ago it was rumored
that one of the three professionals under
contract was to get the 'razz" in order
to make room for the speedy Trenton youth.
but because Tommy feels that he has been
unjustly treated by the De Neri manage
ment, Barlow has written letter TO Man
ager Myers informing him that he VIII not
play another game with his team. Barlow
was criticized for his poor work in the
one game he played. but was forced to get
out of a sick bed to helm out when Joe
Drcyfuss was injured lie saws he has
not been given fair deal and did not
appear for the teams last game. If ar

FRASER NAMED
RESERVE OFFICER
FORSTATE DRAFT
Will Retain Rank and Pos
ition as Adjutant Gener-
al of State

Adiutant General Angus Fraser
has been commissioned by the war
department as captain in the regular
army to head the North Dakota
draft.
He was officially advised Of his
appointment at Bismarck Thursday
morning. The position, recently ere
ated by the war department, Is with
out pay. He will retain his rank and
position as adjutant general OF North
Dakota.
The rank Of captain in the North
Dakota draft is the same as OF re-
serve officer in the United States
army or the rank Of major as the
office is known in states with q
larger population.
Il am mighty glad to hear that
Adjutant General Fraser has been
commissioned as captain" said At
torney M. w. Murphy of the law firm
Of Lawrence g. Murphy of Fargo,
who had been endorsed by the Fargo
Trades and Labor assembly as the
man for the post. He is most emin-
emily fitted for the position and in
these times we must select the man
who can best serve the interests OF
his commonwealth and the nation"
The duties OF this ONCE are to
advise with the local ana otnef oIaIL
boards as to their administration OF
the new selective draft and the rules
and regulations Of the war depart
ment as they are issued from time
to time, ...z..-.
The reserve officer is required to
have a general knowledge and ex-
perience with actual conditions in
the state, familiarity with the adj
Hninistration of the draft law and
other points in military affairs Of the
nation, all of which Adtutant Gen
eral Fraser is well versed in through
his experience with the current draft.

AN INToLERABLE SITUATION.

Prompt steps should be taken to
remedy a real injustice that Is being
done about IS per cent of the drafted
men in this state, and doubtless in
some other states as we'll.
In August and September, As per
cent of the men were called to the
training camps. It was announced
that the next 40 per cent call would
come on Sept. 20. The men were
given notice to be ready. and they
have been ready since that time.
Many Of them resigned their posi-
tions, closed up their business af-
fairs and sat down to wait. They are
still waiting.
OF these young men, many have
lived up their savings, and some Of
them are in actual need Of food and
warm clothing. About a dozen have
applied for aid to the Associated
Charities Of Fargo.
1t is a most exasperating injustice
that is being done these young men.
IL their resentment against the red
tape that permits such a condition
to arise should spread to include the
army Of the United States, it would
be understandable, even If 1t were
mistaken. They cannot accept any
but the most temporary Of employ
ment, and few employers care to hire
a man who may be forced to quit at
a days notice. Meanwhile they must
live.
Much can be overlooked because
Of the haste that was necessary, and
the manner in which the war depart
ment was swamped with work, but
no excuses should be offered for per-
hitting this situation to continue for
a day longer. Some provision should
be made Immediately for these men.

an invasion OF England. France, II
her armies were defeated and crush
ed, would not be able to pay an IN
demnity that would begin to recon-
pense Germany for her losses. Hen
chance of invading America now Is
slight, unless she should be able to
invade England from the channel
ports, and capture the British navy
as an indemnity.
Wild though this project may seem,
when viewed from the German stand
point 1t is not an impossibility. An
armistice with Russia and Rumania,
would give the Germans APP
proximately 100000 men to throw
against the western front. If these
men could be massed in one tremend-
Gus drive against Calais, it might
succeed, fearful though the cost
would be. With the control of the
channel, the big guns on shore could
keep a path for ferries clear against
attack from the British fleet and the
way would be open for an invasion
of England.
II Germany could take London and
demand the surrender OF the British
fleet as an indemnity, the next step
toward the indemnity would be COM
paratively simple one. New York
would be her objective.
1t sounds fantastic. but it is the
thought that is behind the desperate
efforts to get American forces into
the struggle at the earliest possible
moment. @% 49,,

THE kRuPPs IN SWITZERLAND

Dispatches recently brought the
information that the Krupps were
planning a branch factory at Luz
cerne, Switzerland.
1t was announced that the new
company was to have a capital of
$4,000, 900 and would erect q big steel
works at LuceEne.
At first blush it was rather diff
cult to give a reason for such move.
On second thought there are two
very good reasons for it.
The first is the possibility Of saw
ing coal by the utilization of the
Swiss water power. which is unlim-
tied in extent.
The second Is that 1t is directly in
line with the German plan to Ger
mamie Switzerland. With their usu-
al efficiency German manufacturers
are looking forward to peace, and are
planning for the revival OF German
foreign commerce.. They are plan
ming to use Switzerland as a blind.
The world undoubtedly viii have q
prejudice against German manufac-
lures that VIII not soon be forgot

added in Switzerland and German
goods sent out marked made in
Switzerland. This process OF Ger
manizing Switzerland has made con-
siderable progress. and the new move

PROTEST AGAINST
GRADING SYSTEM

Minneapolis, Dec. MANY farm
ers of Minnesota appeared before
Charles j. Brand, chief Of the market
Office of the department Of agricul-
ture, in Minneapolis yesterday to
protest against the federal grain
grading system now in effect They
contended that the federal system is
unjust to the grower in respect to
the test weight, inseparable foreign
material and moisture content. Under
the old Minnesota. grading system,
the farmers said, wheat which grad
ed No. 1 Northern, now grades but
No. 2 and 3. They said the quality
of the wheat, nevertheless, so far as
its milling value is concerned, Is
not changed by the presence OF the
inseparable foreign matter.
They also believe that Is per cent
moisture should be allowed in No. i
instead of 1875 as now allowed. An
other hearing will be held today and
then Mr. Brand will go to Fargo
and other northwest cities.
