John X. Sveen Writes from New York
The Independent has received
very interesting letter from John X.
Sveen, Minot businessman for years,
who is now residing in New York
city. Mr.. Sveen is one of the Nation
al trustees of the Sons of Norway and
is evidently doing some very effective
work for the Fourth Liberty Loan IN
New York city. He says in part:
"Everything is in good shape,
good news from the front, in fact we
still have some German propaganda
here that will make use of this rosy
outlook for peace against our 4th
Liberty Loan drive.
every fraternity, every society
and club is working and urging in this
loan-drive. We shall not deny that
there is a little nervousness in the
air over the outcome of this subscri.j-
tion-drive. Eighteen Hundred NIL

York, is tremendous amount OF
money.

THOUSANDS ARE
REGISTERING FOR
WAR SERVICE
Registrars Kept Busy at Poll
lug Places With Great -
AIo,I,
DRAFT BOARDS ARE BUSY
Men in County Districts En-
roll Rapidly Following
Appeal to Be Early

The registrars are at their posts
awaiting you!"
This was the final word to poten-
| tfal draft registrants from Provost
| Marshal General Crowder last night.
From o'clock this morning until 8
o'clock this evening. the registrars
will remain at their posts in fifty
three voting precincts in the city,
and seventy-one in the county, and
six draft board offices, registering the
districts volunteers.
The rcc'strars had not long to wait
this morning. The offices had hardly
opened at o'clock when the van
guard of registrants who all day long
| have kept the registrars busy, began
their march to the registration
places.
Heavy Enrolment
The enrolment was heavy all
morning. Especially downtown where
the registration offices are in the
midst of the business section, the
registration continued heavy through
out the morning, and probably will
all day and we'll into the evening.
Major Murdoch, head of the state Sc
lective service headquarters, urged
as many of the registrants as possible
to register before o'clock. In spite
of a hearty desire on the part of
each regiStrant to cooperate as much
as possible, there are many who will
be unable to register until after
working hours this evening. For that
reason it is likely that the registra-
ton will continue heavy until the
closing hour at 8 o'clock.
If every man who registered for
service to-day would be taken for
military duty. it readily can be seen
that the industrial life. of the city
would he crippled. Every industry,
every business and every profession
was heavily enrolled on the list of
draft registrants before the day had
hardly begun. The purpose of the
enrolment therefore, is to select
from the essential workers those
who can be spared for military serv-
ice. Every registrant put himself at
the disposal oH the government, and
is awaiting his QUESTIONABLE, which
will determine his status as a pos
sible soldier of the field or behind
the lines. ....
Only Enemies Exempt
Only enemy aliens, citizens of
countries with which the United
States is at war; are excused from
registering to-day. These are already
registered as enemy aliens. All others

at Christmas time to increase the
