,ABIDES BY ITS
INSTRUCTIONS
Navy Officers Say Fargo
Board Co-operates In
Every Way

Unless needed for current quotas"
local draft boards have no right
to refuse registrants the neces-
sary certificates to permit voluntary
enlistment in the navy, according to
instructions received at the Fargo Of
nee OF the navy recruiting depot this
morning.
"A complaint was recently made by
the Bureau Of Navigation to the pro-
vost marshal generals ONCE that GER
tain boards were refusing to issue
certificates, not on the ground that
said registrant was needed for the
current quota but on various grounds,
the principal one Of which was that
they had not received credit for en-
ltstments in the navy" says the or
der.
The provost marshal general has
now requested that If any specific
cases come to the attention Of the
navy department he would be glad to
handle those, cases on individual
merits. The provost marshal further
ruled that the local boards had COM
plete authority to determine whether
the man Is, or might be, needed for
the current quota and its decision in
this regard is final. However, If not
needed for the current quota the war
department general states that it is
mandatory upon the boards to permit
voluntary enlistment Of such regiss
trants.
The officers In charge Of the Fargo
recruiting station said this afternoon
that no complaints had reached the
Fargo Office Of refusals Of the Cass
county board to issue certificates to
permit voluntary enlfstments.

Washington, May 23.-Division Of
Bohemia into twelve districts with
advantage in the electoral domain
given to the German minority In
each so as to reduce the Czech repre-
sentation in parliament Is provided
in a ministerial decree issued at
Vienna.
An official dispatch today from
France says this effort to dismember
and Germanize the Czech state
caused the recent serious rtoting at
Ostrau, Pilsen, Nachod and other
places which resulted in the pro-
claiming of martial law and the i'm
prisonment Of $50 persons.
By increasing the German repre-
sentation from Bohemia at the ex-
pense of the Czechs the Austrian
government, in the opinion here.
hopes to regain at the opening of
parliament next June 10 the majority
1t lost some months ago through the
coalition of all elements in Opposi-
ton, led by the Czechg. This adhes-
ion Of opponents caused Emperor
Charles to order parliament dissolved
early in the present year.
Policy of Repression.
THE law bulletin OF the Austrian
empire" says the dispatch to-
day from France, published the
ministerial decree according to which
the district governments which were
claimed for so long by the Germans
are established in Bohemia. The
boundaries of the districts are fixed
as far as possible according to the
national grouping. In the word of
the decree, the aim Is to take the
Armk -tn 49, E~t,
ment of order in Bohemia This
decree is undoubtedly n policy Of re-
preston, the first act Of which tends
to dismember Bohemia by granting to
the German elements the guarantees
which they claim. Up to now Bo-
hernia comprised 13 districts only,
two Of which had a majority of Ger
man population. according to statis-
tics from Vienna. In four districts
there are hardly any Germans.
The new plan aims at creating in
each of the twelve districts German
and to grant to this minor
ity, however small 1t may be, con-
siderable advantages in the admins
trative and electoral domains This
method IN meant to bring about as a
first result considerable increase in
Of German deputies in the
diet at the expense OF the CZechs,
who until now held a majority of
seats.
cit Is clear that this device Of the
nGermans is bound to arouse the
most violent opposition on the part of
the Czech. A dispatch reprinted in
all the German newspapers calls at
tention already to the fact that mar |
tial law has been proclaimed in sev-
aral districts Of Bohemia because in |
certain regions serious riots have |
occurred. More than $50 persons |
were put in prison. The estate Of
Prince Furstemberg "a personal |
friend of the German emperor) was |
