DRAFT REeISTRANTS MAY
ENLIST IN NAVY TILL FEB. IS

The recent announcement by Pro-
vost Marshal General E. H. Crowder
to the effect that no more formal
calls for deferred percentages of
the present draft quota would be
sent out before February 18th, makes
it possible for more draft registrants
TO enlist in the Navy than at any
time since December 18th.
The navy is greatly in need of ap-
prentice seamen, the quota of 800
for this district being far from filled.
This number must be attained by
February 22d. Men enlisted now are
being sent home on furlough, sub
ject to call, because the training sta
tions are filled: Pay, $32.60 a month

ment. Men enlisted after their per-
iods Of training; are put in branches

Recruiting officers at the Minnea-
polls station, 3o4 Marquette Ave-,

are very few instances where regis
trants in. the draft have not been
able to secure certificates stating
they are not needed for current
draft quotas. These are required of
all those registered and are obtained
from the applicants local draft
board. Even many who have been
called and examined by their local
boards are eligible to enlistment in
the Navy. -.
Men can enlist at the Minneapolis
station or any Of its branches. Sub
tations are located at Fargo, Grand

are rich in coal, iron, steel, sugar,
wheat, cotton, oil copper and many
things that Germany wants. If we
keep quiet she will come and take
them. She will take our money to
to pay for her war. = .-~... &.
). Treason Talk But the Government
takes our money now in taxes. =
American Talk-It is better to
give a little now I'll our government
than to have Germany take it all.
Treason Talk--1 have a good job
and get good pay. do not want to
give any of it to the government.
American Talk-1f Germany gets
this country you will have no job
and no pay. You would have to work
like a dog, and if you did not work
you would get a whip on your back.
That is the way the Germans treat
prisoners of war.
Treason Talk-I want to save my
money for my wife and children. A
good man thinks first of his family.
American Talk-1 know how the
Germans treated the women and
children of Belgium. To save my
family from such fate I would
give my life.
Treason Talk-This is not our war.
This is England's war.
American Talk-This is Americas
war, and England's war, and Frances
war, and 1taly's war and the war of
every honest nation that is now
fighting to save the world from the
lust Of Germany. .-. =. ;. ....-

Wy are full of rich mems sons. The
rich have poured out their money
for the Liberty Bonds, for the Red

war aids. They have cut prices but
not wages. This is a rich mans war
and poor mans war. We are all in
it: The rich and the poor, the old
and the young men, women and child

- Treason Talk-It is not fair that
the poor should pay more taxes than
the rich.
American Talk-They don't. To
say they do is made-in- Germany

larger proportion of taxes he pays
to the government.
Treason Talk German-Americans
still love the Fatherland.
! American Talk-If the Fatherland
was such good. country, why are
there millions of Germans in. this
country today? When the war broke
out did the German-Americans rush
to the ships to. 60 back and fight
for the Fatherland? They did not.
