SILVER QUESTION
COMES TIP AGAIN
United States May Melt Dollars
to Pay Debts
BY MILTON .BRONNER
SDecial Staff DisDatch

.. Washington, April 22.--Shades Of
William Jennings Bryan! Congress is
about to discuss, silver. Not free and
unlimited coinage at the holy ratio of
Is to !, but the question of melting
down silver dollars and using the bull
lion to pay some Of Uncle Sans debts.
& The trade balances in India, China
and other parts of the Orient have
greatly risen against since the war.
ln other words, we owe them more
than they owe us. And pay day is
coming around. Uncle Sam doesn't
want to let go Of his gold, especially
when the Orient is used to silver, likes
it, and is perfectly willing to accept it.
So Senator Pittman, from the silver
state Of Nevada, has introduced bill
aimed to fix things. 1t provides that
of the 491 900, oOO silver dollars held in
$50, 100000 may be released, through
the trcasu. y, against which silver cer-
tific;!t2s have tccn issued, as much as
the retirement of an equal amount of
certificates. This quarter billion of
silver dollars may then be melted up

Special Staff Dispatch

Washington, April 22-Congress
has just changed the army draft regu-
lations SO that men needed in agricul-
ture or industry won't be drafted from
one district while workers in non
essentials are draft-free in another.
1t took nearly three months to pass
the Classification BILL" but the job is
finally done. A. +. :.
The bill changes apportionment Of
draft quotas drastically, as follows:
Quotas will be figured on
basis of the. number of eligible
men in Glass l, not on a percent
age Of the total registration.
If Bismarck has fewer physically
competent men in Glass l than has an
other city of the same size, fewer men
will be called from Bismarck than
from that other city. Or it will work
the other way around.
Uncle Sam will base his call to Bis
marck on the number Of physically fit
men in Class l, rather than on the
total number of males within draft
age. =. a L. -.. ..-,.
Another important bin affecting tie
draft is still tied up in the house.
This is the bill to make men who
have become 81 since last June liable
to draft. This bill, the war depart
,nent figures, would let into the draft
more than 200, O0C now class | men.
It would set far in the future the day
when men with dependents will have
to be called to the ,colors.
Both house and senate have taken
their time in respect to these bills.
Both were strongly urged. in General
CroWder's report the first week in
December, when congress reconvened
for the present session. ~.

STARK COUNTY BETTER
FARMING AGENT TAKEN

Dickinson, N. D., Aril 22.-County
Agent |Ncumann has been called to the
colors, being of draft age, and left
Tuesday for Milwaukee. The Com
mercial club and a number of farmers
are trying to get Agent Neuman ex-
empt from army service and let him
do the still greater work of fighting
the Huns from the wheat fields of
North Dakota in growing more grub.
The government is exempting the
farmers to get in the crops, and Coun.
ty Agent .Neumann is extremely valu-
able at this tihe tas he will help all
the farmers and accomplish many
times the good in the fields than he
would in the, army at this time. Tele-
grams have. been sent, asking that he
oe left ii the fields here.
