NEW DRAFT PLAN
IS COMPLETED

Washington, Nov. New regu-
!lations for applying the army draft
virtually were completed last night
at the office of the provost marshal
general and probably will be sub
mitted to President Wilson today
for final approval The president
already has approved the general
plan, under which all registered men
not yet called, will be classified in
five groups In accordance with their
availability for military service.
Provost Marshal General Crowd
er last night cleared up the question
as to how the draft numbers will
lie applied to the. new classifica-
tions.
In each local district the key
made up from the draft numbers in
the order Of their drawing will be
applied to each class or group. In
other words, the men Of. class one,
in which will be placed those of the
least value at home and with the
slightest obligations to dependents,
will be called In the order of their
serial numbers, until that class is
exhausted just as though all other
classes had been exempted the
same process will be applied to class
two and so on down to class five, If
it should become necessary te car
ry it that far. Thus, man whose
serial number had led him to- be.
lieve that he would be among the
last summoned, may be assigned to
the first class and ordered into SER
vice with the first quota. On the
other hand. another whose number
assured him originally place with
the next increment. NAV be so
classified as to make 1t virtually
certain he never will be called.

LIZARDS CAUSED
ENGINE TROUBLE

Parshall, N. D., Nov. DIR.
George Hanson Of Minot, driving an
Oakland six. heard his engine miss
ing fire., He jumped from. his seat
and started to treat his patient.
o He felt of his spark plugs but
there was good sign of life. Then
it occurred to him rhat the circula-
ton was not right. ,'Doc" decid-
ed to diagnose the case most care
fully.
He probed into the gasoline res
ervoir and found six Shiny, badly
decomposed lizards. :. The grease
from them caused film over the
screen through which the, gasoline
had to leave the, tank and retarded
the pow. ~S r., 49,,
The doctor knows of no way in
which the lizards could have got
ten into the tank and claims that
for a freak case OF engine trouble
this one takes the cake. -

son was charged with manslaught-
or. For his part In the crime,
Frank Pierson will spend from 10
to 20 years at hard labor in the
states prison at Deer Lodge. Mrs.
PIerson was sentenced to serve
from to 2 years In the peniten-
tiary, but the sentence was sus-
pended.
County Attorney Onstad of Sheri-
dan county handled the case for the
state, while C. E. Come. of Medi-
cine Lake represented the defend
ants.
The crime to which the Persons
pleaded guilty was one Of the most
flendish that has ever been perpet-
rated in this part of the state.
While en- route to visit relatives
In Dakota, these heartless parents
deserted their small baby, leaving
It to die on the railroad tracks near
Snowden. The child~ was found
the next morning, with life still re-
naming but 1t expired before med
ical attendance could be secured.
Through the efforts Of the sher-
IFS Office, the parents we're traced
to Dakota where they were kept un-
der surveillance. The clothes of
the infant were brought back to
Glasgow. and neighbors identified
them as belonging to the Pierson
child. At the time Of his arrest,
Pierson was in a Minot hospital re-
covering from an operation for ap-
pendicitis.

plentiful in America, and much of
1t among the most loyal. That part
which is not loyal is simply disloy-
al. and that is all there is to the
matter. And furthermore, this
country has no quarrel with Ger
man blood or even with German
people, except so far as they uphold
and abet the German government.
Every American should get this
important fact: We are fighting
for principal of everlasting right
and against practice of everlasting
wrong. That the German nation
happens to be in the wrong is no
reproach to the millions Of that
blood who are not only among US
but of US. Once their loyalty Is
demonstrated. 1t should be accepted
in full faith. On the other hand
If their loyalty is Of the right brand
they will recognize the faults Of
their kinsmen. and while possibly
not. disclaiming those kinsmen they
wost certainly will disclaim any
sympathy with them or their ambi-
tions. especially with their acts.
Let's get this thing right On the
start. We have no apology to make
for our actions. This country ia
in the right, and those who do not
like her course are at liberty to
take themselves and their objec-
tions to some other country
whicn would be the most decent
thing they could do.

THINGS BY THEIR RIGHT NAMES

There seems to be disposition
pie to whistle softly in the presence
of people of German parentage.
least they become offended at as
pirations upon their people and
their practices. Many will even
apologize for the action of this
country In prosecuting the war,
and will lightly pass over the afro
cities committed by the German
forces, that have shamed the right
thinking people of the earth.
This weakened, pussy-footing
attitude is unworthy any American.
First. because every intelligent per-
son who has given the question
even the most casual study must
know that this country is in the
right, that her quarrel is the quar-
rel of the people Of the earth. The
United States could never look the
world In the face had she refused
to take up the guage of battle when
William OF Germany cast it at our
feet. ta ...s.-. =,
Loyal Americans will condemn
the practice of not only the Ger
man Kaiser, but of his troops as
we'll. The world is a unit in the
condemnation of the ruthless sub
marine activity. The ferocity yith
which this is prosecuted is un.
worthy the darkest day of the mid
die ages.
2. The world condemns the savagery
Of the German attacks on hospital
ships and field hospitals on inno-
cent non-combatants generally
There is no other name for their
acts save inhumanity. Be 1t said
to the everlasting credit Of the al.
lies. no such actions have stained
their records. 8 :.
We repeat that there is no call
for pussy-footing when these things
are mentioned because, forsooth.

in his veins. German blood If

SOLDIERS MAIL
:. =. TAKES POSTAGE

Some misunderstanding has aris-
en- over the mailing of letters to
and. by soldiers and sailors In the
service abroad under the new postal
rate law which becomes operative
on November 2. Letters mailed by
such soldiers and sailors will be
carried through the mails free.
But letters mailed to such soldiers
and sailors will require the regular
amount of domestic postage. The
fact that soldiers in the service
abroad may mail their letters free
has been confused with the idea
that letters to them could also be
mailed free.I The latter is not
correct.
There is no difference between
the cost of postage to civilians and
that Of soldiers in the cantonments
and camps in this country. All
such soldiers must pay the regular
postage on their letters.
