being first out Of the bowl.

Similarly, number '5,276 for exam
pie, might be he very last capsule
drawn and the holder might be a. man
10 years old, unmarried and foot free.
IIe would be practically certain to be
called to duty soon. despite the fact
hat his order number was at bottom
of the lis.
Furthermore, all the registrants
whose numbers about to be drawn
have been subdivided into three
classes for present purposes: Those
between IS and 81 come first: those
from 81 to IS come next and those
between Is and 10 come last The
numbers drawn are certain to be scat
tered through these classes. but it is
very doubtful when the men above
81 will be called.
They added to the effect on the or
der of service which has been worked
by the classif1cations is the business
Of deferment because Of a mans oc-
cupation. which may be considered
war than actual service with troops.
Some Cannot Fight.
The government has made it very
clear that in this draft 1t does not
want a single man in the army who
actually is needed at home. All these
considerations it will be seen, reduce
the relative Importance of a mans
position in the drawing to his likeli-
hood for service.
The effect Of the drawing simply
means that every man who knows he
is At for military service and has no
valid reasons for deferment car ex-
pect to be called for duty, quite ire
spective of where his number comes
out
When the question Of telegraphing
the order Of the numbers all over the
United States vas fully investigated
it was found that to do so would
have entirely occupied all the facili-
ties for distributing news for at least
"a houts continuously.
The plan of having the government
use its " NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
boards-to distribute the numbers
was then evolved and it brought the
added advantage Of making the list

The big Drive for the Fourth
Liberty Loan starts in this city Mon
day, September 80. Headquarters for

the boys, as a hand grenade is a very
useful bit of ammunition at times.
Subscriptions will be taken by the
committees during the day and eve-

October @. If overlooked by the COM
mittee 1t is desired that all residents
leave their subscriptions with au-
thorities at the City Hall.
The allotment for East Grand
Forks this year is SOS, 900. There ia
not the slightest idea in the minds Of
any Of the committee that this quota
cannot be reached. II every man.
woman and child in the city would
determine to give until they could no
longer give, 1T is certain that the $685.
900 would be raised.
Sixty five thousand Is about double
the last allotment given this city.
The people of East Grand Forks are
asked to stop a moment and consider
the fact that they are living in one
Of the. most prosperous parts of the
United States. Residents Of the Red
River valley must remember that they

Noted British Pubsicast Delivers In
teresting Address Here.

tercsting Address Here.
Ina stirring address before the
Grand Forks Commercial club last
evening, 8. X. Ratcllfte, q noted Eng
lish journalist and lecturer, gave his
visws concerning the achievement Of
America In this war and the signifl-
canoe of her recent victories.
In his address Mr.. Radcliffe said
that the Allies were now standing at
n of the high points of the war; that
SIX months ago the Germans made
their great drive and held the Allied
armies In suspense for four months;
their drive that so far had had no
material check, and that an ever-in-
creasing confidence Is taking hold Of
the armies under General Foch.
Mr.. Radcliffe discussed the. part that
labor and its organization are taking
in the war. For more than two years;
Me said, Great Britain has been mo-
bilizing its labor organizations, as
we'll as taken v all raw materials
sential to the country in war times,
and the entire food supply.
h distribution and recruiting of
the immense army of workmen in
Great Britain was handled by the gov
eminent employment agencies, and
this plan has been adopted by. Amer
lea since her entrance into the war
with amazing results, Mr.. Radcliffe
said.
Thos. F. Kane, president of the uni
versity, spoke to a group of new
soldiers about to entrain for camp,
who were guests of the club last eve
ming. He explained the, purpose for
Americas entrance into the var and
advised the boys that they should be
proud to fight for a country that had
no selfish aims but the desire that the
peoples of all civilized nations may
enjoy the rights of peace.

About His Observations

One Of the abiding impressions Of

the letter. dated August Is, says:
that is. those who thresh with ma
chimes are through. Those who
knock the grain out with a fail are
in no hurry. They have 10 particular
reason for hurrying as we have in
North Dakota. The grapes ave get
ting ripe, but they are small, espe-
cially the blue ones-not nearly as
large, as California grapes. I guess
that II an American soldier was
caught picking a grape, he would be
shot at sunrise without a courtmar-
'tial. There are general orders out
prohibiting an American from pick
Ing grapes even If the owner invites
him to pick them.

see how these people have to work to
