in our training camps, yet unable to
understand military orders and direc-
tons Their ideas of why they are
in the National Army, why they have
been taken from their home to fight,
are vague and clouded by their in
ability to read and understand our

have left behind wives and children
or fathers and mothers who speak no
English and know less than their

T0DAY'S TABLOID TALE
The Caller.
By Joe Blast,


AT 3 in the morning he called
up to find out If she was up
yet At $50 he called up to
see if she had arisen, and at
$40 he called again to see if
she was still in bed. At $50
he got her on the phone and
wished her oOd-morning.
When he went out to lunch
he sent her a bouquet of wild
drillies, her favorite flowers,
and when he came back from
lunch he called her up to ask
if they had arrived safely. On
his way back to the office he
sent her 1ve-pound box of
chocolate coated sweet pota-
toes, her favorite CONNECTION,
and half an hour later he
called her up to see if they'd
got there yet and how she liked
them.
All in all, before evening, he
had called her up eighteen
times and sent her eleven
packages.
At 7:45, when he called to
take her to the theater, he
found her trembling with sup
pressed wrath, with tears OF
humiliation and vexation in
her ravishing golden eyes.
You don't love me at all,"
she Missed. You don't love
me one little little beeny little
squeeny little bit! You haven't
given me a thought all day

He included leather boots, woven

John Paul Jones turned the Stop
job over to his supercargo or purser.
However, he got his little rake off
at the end Of the cruise. For it must
be understood that 1000 miles and
month out fixes Il pretty good price
on necessary apparel.
Gum-boots were the greatest step
after the Ciyrl war. Old sea dogs
put them down as q sign that the

Of a tar minding wet feot!" Yet
they daily turned to the chest for
sewing gear, needles and think les,
and the like.
Then the Twentieth Century broke
like a typhoon over our world. A
holocaust OF progress swept away
the boarded relics Of mans past.
Mechanical genius was supreme.
Only the charred stubb1e of original
ideas remained. The slop-chest was
one.
Now we have the Clothing and
Small Stores Room" In it our
mechanical Jack may procure silk
neckerchiefs, Sheffield steel knives
and hand sewn shoes, not boots, but
gloves for his feet. The captain
makes no rake-off; and the purchase

law WITH an the earn1arkS that go
to make up a disloyalist, it should be
no very difficult task for good, hon
est American to locate a pro German.
And, having loca ted pro German,
the next thing is to eliminate him
from the good society OF American
citizens. That means, to throw him
out Ostra cism IS one form Of get
ting rid of the obnoxious. The pro-
German, having no place in the mart
where American men and women
gather, must be cut off from the
circles where good people meet, as
a cancer is removed by the knife Of
the surgeon. The boundary lines in
such a case can be easily set up. And
they should be drawn close around
and protested Americanism is not
known to the community.
We like Bishop Henderson's choice
of words. He says, "EXterminate
All that is a strong uord-"exter-
minate"-but it is not too strong
F'Extirpate' is also a word, that might
be we'll used in the same breath. It
means, Ito pluck up by the stem or
root" IL we want to look upon pro-
Germans as so many weeds in the
garden of America where only flowers
should grow, we must extirpate them
Or VIC can look upon them as tum ors
in the vitals Of the state. And in that
sense we must also cxtrpate them.
IT, on the other hand we classify
these folk as so many rats in the base
nent of our political house we must
drive them out-exterminate them.
And therein we believe the Bishop has
the right word.
Words are only words. Deeds are
what the situation calls for~-iemands.

troit has set Up the slogan that should

FRAZIER WINNER IN
NORTH DAKOTA RACE

Fargo, N. D., June 27.--The nomi-
nation of Governor Linn ]. Frazier of
Hoople, non-partisan leage candidate,
over John Steen of Rugby, endorsed
by the independent voters association
in the republican gubernatorial race
in the primaries held yesterday. was
conceded late today. by the support
ers of -Steen here by majority of
more than 5000 votes.
With 695 of 1878 precincts in the
state missing, returns tabulated here
gave Frazier 2s454 and Steen 26,76S.
The heavy Frazier vote in the rural
districts steadily cut down Steen's
lead until the non-partisan candidate
went ahead today.
Although returns from the contest
for the democratic nomination for
governor are still far from complete,
available figures give s. j. Doyle a
good lead over G. w. Wilkinson, who
was supported by the league.

LOTTERY HELD To
DETERMINE ORDER
OF REC|STRANTS
~, Ao-pl.s louss.l srEe.l lc.,tr WINS


Washing on, June Pin ry S00,-
900 youns men of ? who c.,istered
Fofsnlih ly - ,@ 9 IL ,hisN had
their order in the draft classes fixed
today by a second national draft lot
terry held with formal ceremony at the
senate office building
Just 200 numbered slips rolled into
apsules-enough to cover the list
of new regstrants in the largest local
district in the country-were drawn
from a big glass bowl and the num-
bers recorded in serial order. Under
the law, all the new registrants go at
the bottom of the classes to which
they may be assigned and the order in
which the number appearing on each
mans registration card came from
the bowl to determine his place in the
list of additions.
The task was done in about two
hours. After brief explanatory state
ment by Provost Marshal General
Crowder, Secretary Baker, blindfold-
ed, drew the first winner-246. Cen
eral March, chief of staff, Chairman
Chamberlain and Senator Warren of
the senate military committee; Chair
man Dent and Representative Kann
of California of the house military
committee, and several army officers.
each drew a number, Then Major
Billy" Wellborn, a young woman EN-
ployed in the provost generals office,
donned the blindfold and proceeded to
take out capsules.
The dramatic interest that attend
ed the first drawing, which actually
determined the original order of SEW
ice of 10,000,000 regstrants, was al
most wholly lacking in todays pro-
ceedngs. Since men placed in class
one are certain to lie called to the
colors within a few months at most
the order in which new registrants
are placed is relatively unmportant.
