London Eng, May THE Lust

the crime which the British public
is not likely to forget.
The Daily Graphic, in an editorial
laments that the public apparently is
becoming dulled to the horror OF the

is not a commemorative procession
this year as there was last year. II
not, it asks, will it's absence not be
proof of the extent to which Ger.
many's crimes against humanity have
deadened the worlds sense of ten
derness. 1t adds:
Savage RuthIessness Of Hun.
1T is because the torpedoing of
the Lusitania summed up in one cold
blooded act, the savage ruthlessness
of the German race, that the anniver-
sary of that foul deed should be eel.

Germany has not changed since
then,' says the Daily Mail. THAT
is the important thing for all of us
to remember The 'repentant' Ger.
many, of which our pacifists prattle
simply does not exist. She still glor-
les in the sinking OF the Lusitania,

FRASER ). IA F|AV0RS
CR0WDE.|.R|;'S !; PLAN.
OF SELECT ION
Adjutant General Believes Num-
Der Of Class l MeE Should
BE Made Easis vi
WOULD SAVE FARM LABOR

Contending that the present system
of making the draft for the national
army on a population basis works an
injustice to rural districts and partic-
ularly to those communities which
have a large alien population, adjutant
General Fraser has placed himself
solidly on record in favor of Provost
Marshal General Crowder's campaign
to have the number of class one men
in each county made the basis for Sc
lectoin. 5s& r.. "
"The present plan Disseminated
against the counties whose population
is largely altogether rural" said Cen
eral Fraser today. The unfortunates
result of this system is that our farm
ing population, which is most nee0ed
here at home, is forced to yield the
largest percentage of select service
men. Burleigh county, with Bismarck
to draw upon, has sent 50 many men
that, it is called upon ia, send none in
the draft Of May Is; Grand Forks
county is in the position, and both of
these counties have substantial credits
for the next call, while Cass county
will send only 20 men atthis time.
Mountrsil and Nelson art 1called upon
to send all the way from 30 to 50 men.
Grand Forks county has population
of 3O,418, and Cass is credited with
1870, in bothSfinstances more than
fifty percent urban, while Pembina,
with II, ,635 people, Mountrail with 49,
948, and Nelson with 1857 are prob
ably rs percent, at least, rural. ."
'If the number of class one men is
made the basis for selection, the farm
ing population is spared, and this is
rs it should be. One man working in
the fields here can feed at least so
men at the front with wheat and other
cereals. The man, in the fields here
at home, is fully as important as the
men in the, trenches over there. Our
fighting men must come from the non
essential industries, at least so long
as there is an abundance of men in this
class to supply the need, which is the
at present, and the only way
that we can assure their selection is
by drawing our soldiers from Class l
until that division is exhausted"
A table just issued to county boards
by General Fraser shows the popula-
ton in each county as estimated by
the war department following the reg
istration last June; the number of men
which each county has furnished to
date, and the number which each coun-
ty will be caelld upon to send May 25.
county, credited with 1912
people, has sent ITO soldiers for whom
credit is given on this call, while Cass
county, with 48,97O people, has fur
nished 322. Grand Forks county, with
q population of ,3O,418, has been given
credit for 274, while Cavalier, with
1901 people, has sent l84 soldiers
who are credited on this call. None of
these figures include the men recently
called to entrain for Fort Logan, COL,
