Supreme Efforts for Regis
tration Day This Week
Are Urged.

The local war board today received
a communication from Adjutant Gen.
eral G. A. Fraser who praises tho
Grand Forks county organization az
we'll as all the other boards through
out the state for the excellent work
rendered since the first registration,
June S, 1917, and asks members Of
all selective service boards to do
their very best for the purpose Of

IL as complete, efficient and swift as
it is humanity possible to make it.
The adjutant general points out
that the registration of men between
the ages of Is n As will probably be
the last large general registration Of
the present war, and he says that he
views the approaching task with per-
feet confidence in the ability of the
boards: You have earned the ad-
miration Of the world by your, labors
since June 5. 1917" the adjutant gem
eral says, for since that day you
have been engaged in the greatest
task. of its kind ever undertaken in
history" d'
No More Sneering Heard.
Following are interesting passages
in the adjutaht generals letter:
you all now how the German
leaders sneered at us, stated that
Americans would not fight for a prin-
ciple, could not raise an army, was a
dollar nation. a nation without ideals.
Were they mistaken? NAsk any Of
them today. They now realize that
General Pershing and his million and
a half Of the best blood of Americas
sons are on the Hun battle line and
every soldier making good. That
much you, gentlemen of the different
boards, have supervised in sixteen
months. With this record, l ap-
proach September - with confidence
and the nation, yea, the world, knows
your past is a guarantee of the flu
, ture. .
You are as truly soldiers as any in
full kahki; you have been so recog-
nized by your superior officer, General
Crowder. You are automatically
placed, under recent regulations, in
Class V, Division Din the military
service of the United States" Do you
know that your splendid and uncom-
pensated work in the past sixteen
months gave North Dakota second
place in the cost per man of sending
soldiers to camp, but one state in the
union being lower? Such is the fact"
