Governor BrOugh Urges
Farmers TO GrOU Wheat

Governor Brough has issued the
following proclamation to the farm
ers of Arkansas:
Whereas, 1t has become the duty
OF the United States to feed not only
her own people but to augment and
enlarge supplies of our allies in Eu-
rope, the nations who are fighting
our battles of democracy and liberty
as much as as their own, and because
of this great need, the United States
government is calling upon the farm
ers Of the nation to increase the
wheat acreage, the great need of our
allies being wheat, because the bread
from wheat flour is essential to Sc
curing the highest efficiency of the
human body, and

government authorities that our al

seed, preparation of the land, and

recommended as a general principle
the sowing of at least two acres of
wheat on good land for each horse

With corn so high, the market ap-

THOUGHT INSANE,

Alliance Township Farmer Charged
With Assault Upon
NeLghbOr.

Frank Miller, an Alliance township
farmer. was examined in the probate
court at Moorhead Thursday on an
insanity charge. and later was before
Police Magistrate E. u. Wade on an
assault charge. The insanity board,
Judge of Probate J. H. Sharp and Drs.
O. J. Hagen and G. l. Gosslee, found
the evidence, did not warrant holding
Miller on an insanity charge and the
case was dismissed. County Attorney
DOsland. who was present at the hear
ing, considered the case one for the
criminal court.
Miller is charged by Fred Anderson
with striking him over the head with
a fork handle and cutting open his
scalp on Wednesday evening. 1t was
char ged that Miller went to the An
dersOn farm and told Mrs. Anderson
he would do things to her husband If
he did not at once settle an account
between them. Anderson and hts
brother, according to their testimony,
went to Miller's farm to find out what
was wrong. Without warning, they
claim, he turned loose on Anderson
with the fork, and 1t took six stitches
to close the gap he cut in his scalp.
The case was continued until Fri
day, July 27.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington. July 20.-Several high
naval officers have made an appeal to
President Wilson to direct the Amer
lean navy to initiate an offensive
against Germany.
The president is said to feel strong
ly about the shipping question arising
from the success Of the German sub
marine campaign but whether he has
resolved upon action by the fleet has
not been disclosed.
Facts are becoming known in
Washington which have been. con-
cealed from the people. It was declar-
ed in a responsible quarter that it
has been the policy of the British
government to practice concealment
and that this has been adopted by
the United States. A naval authority
OF the highest standing and occupy
Ing a prominent position in American
war organization said.
An offensive would be any
definite attempt to prevent the Ger
man submarine from getting out to
the ocean. 1t might take any one of
a dozen forms from making a direct
attack at the submarine plant and
bases where submarines are built and
whence they are sent to sea, down to
including an effort to keep them in a
defined barrier by the use of mines,
destroyers chasers, airplanes and
blimps. "a Blimp is a small dirigible

Simpler Plan Adopted at
Last Moment by Gen
eral Growder
WILL TAKE TWELVE
HOURS TO COMPLETE
Will Draw 10,500 Num-
bers One At a
Time
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 20.-Plans for
the drawing being held today to fix
the order of military liability for
nearly 100000 registered men
throughout the country, were mater
tally changed late last night and the
intricate method of double drawing
worked out by officials to lessen the
physical task was abandoned.
Instead of a process requiring not
more than an hour and involving one
set Of numbers from one to one
thousand, and another of from
naught to ten, it will be necessary to
draw one at time at least 1929
numbers. Probably to make certain
that every registrant in the largest
district is placed, 10000 drawings will
be made. 1t will require at least
ten and q half hours, and officials in
charge believe 1t will take IL hours.
The process began at $3.50 O'Clock
a. m" ..
The numbers will be publicly an
nounced for telegraphing to the
newspapers over the country as fast
as they are drawn. General Crowder
at first considered a plan under
which they would have been held in
confidence for publication every
where Saturday morning, but that
suggestion was abandoned late last
night.
Alabama, first state on the roster
of the union. reports its largest ex-
emption district as containing 6,925
registrants. Then in the drawing To-
day, the numbers from 6,926 to d.
500 inclusive can be disregarded so
far as Alabama is concerned. BY the
same process, North Dakota has no
interest in numbers above 4,332, Min
nesota 5.223. South Dakota 1878. -
Crowder's Explanation.
Following is Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder's explanation of the
sudden. abandonment of the double
drawing plan which 1t had taken
weeks to work out in detail and
which was made public only few
hours before it was discarded:
"Advices received by long distance
telephone yesterday afternoon indi-
cate that in certain areas the boards
in numbering registration cards have
kept the cards segregated by election
districts and that serial numbers
have been assigned to the whole
group for a board. while the cards
were thus segregated. If the draw
ing Is cOHuuCJSu dS OElBlHdIly pLdh-
ned, in groups Of 1000, the result will
be that considerable proportions Of
certain election districts will be
brought up for examination together.
This will result indrafting persons
from one locality within the jurisdic-
ton of board before any person is
To~awn from another locality within
the same Jurisdiction. For this reas-
on it has been decided to abandon
the drawing by thousands and to
draw 10,500 numbers, which Is in
excess of the highest number Of
cards under the Jurisdiction of any
board.
"The only change in the plan will
be that there will be one drawing in
stead Of two The advantage will be
greater simplicity. The disadvantage
viii be that it will require 10 hours
to complete"

ton of the Atlantic fleet has been
ordered by Secretary Daniels to meet
new problems resulting from ex-
pansion of the force to almost twice
its normal size for war service. .
\ Details are withheld for military
reasons but the secretary announced
yesterday that the reorganization

vided between Vice-admiral Coffman,

noughts and designated as Force
No. g." while Vice-admiral Grant will

II is understood that the reorgani-
zation will not affect the division Of
the fleet now in European waters un-
der Vice admiral Sims.
Vice-admiral Grants appointment
leaves no vacancies in that rank and
if additional yice-admirals are
needed q further authorization will
