tary of agriculture and the secretary
of labor on plan TO put into deferred
classification such persons in the new
draft as are necessary in agriculture,
industry and other occupations.
Three advisers are to be associated

necessary workers in these three Occu-

gather accurate facts concerning the
requirements of agriculture for the
various classes of workers in their own

classes in other districts that workers
not sufficiently necessary in one dis
trict to entitle them to deferred classl-
tication may have opportunity to go 10
other districts In which they are
needed.
The department of agriculture has
sent a QUESTIONABLE to each county

information regarding the farm labor

What the draft boards desire are

The unskilled workers apparently are
not to be considered for deferred

more important for the army than for
agricultural enterprises and general in-

points out that necessary skilled farm
labor should not be confused with In

training, can do very well some kinds
Of farm work.

Col. N4gemt, of
Fargo, AdUia;;nced
Nominated BY President Wilson For
Brisadier General For War
Period.

Col. George A. Nugent, formerly of
Fargo, a brother of c. E. Nugent,
secretary treasurer Of Magill & Co.,
Fargo, now in command Of regi-
ment Of American heavy field artil-
lery in France, has been nominated
by President Wilson for brigadier-
general, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Washington.
Colonel Nugent, who was raised in
Fargo, and is a graduate of Fargo
high school, was the first North Da-
kota man to be graduated from West
Point, finishing his course in 1898,
as one of, the high ten in his class,
and with q. commission as second
lieutenant OF coast artillery, in which
branch ne elected to serve. r, 49,. 3.
When the Spanish American war
broke out, Colonel Nugent was trans
ferred and placed as captain of
Grigsby's Rough Riders, which, how
ever, did not see active service.
Later he assisted in mastering out
men in the south as a member of
General Breckenridge's staff. He
later, served as first assistant to the
chief quartermaster Of the Philip
pines, and then as quartermaster at
the PTesidio in San Francisco, where,
following the big earthquake, he did
much to relieve the food shortage.
In late years, Colonel Nugent was

,.- i Join Czechs
CBy Associated Pross.1

Washington, Aug. 24,-Assurances
reached the state department today
that the anti -Bolshevik governments
at Omsk and Vladivostok are in full
accord, which officials said, meant
that all Siberia virtually is under
one government with O. small portion
near Irkutslx controlled by Bolshevik
forces aided by former German and
Austrian prisoners.
The agreement between the two
governments was considered by Of
flcials here as one Of the most inn
portant developments in the Rus
sian tangle that has occurred since
the overthrow OF the KerensIy gov
ernment. The information came
from vladIvostolt, it is understood.
and is accepted by officials here as
presumably authentic.
The significance Of this declared
agreement Is that the Siberian gov
ernment is the largest and strongest
Of the various movements to align
Russia again as a nation against
Germany. The first difficulty that
the Siberian governments have to
face is the eradication Of the Bolshe-
vik Red Guards and the Austro-
German prisoners of war now fight
ing side by side. These hostile
forces control the trans Siberian
railroad from Irlzutsk on Lake Baikal
to Manchuria station, about 200
miles from Karimskaya, where the
Amur river line branches Off to the
north. Troops OF the allies, prob
ably only Japanese at the present
time, aided by the Czechs- -slovaks,
control the Manchurian line from
Vladivostok. #

FARMERS OF n. D.
MUST PAY WAGES
GIVEN LABORERS
IN OTHER STATES
Low Scales Proposed Will
Keep Men Away, Says
Federal Official

NORTH. Dakota farmers will have
to pay the same wages as farmers
farther. south if they expect to save
the crop" said F. c. Miller of Kan
sas City, associated. with A. L.
Barkman, assistant to the director
general Of the United States employ
ment service, who was in Fargo to-
day. .''.''.'''..'
The department with which Mr..
Miller is associated has charge of
the directing of the harvest from the
Mexican to the Canadian border, and
as the harvesting in the south be-
came completed, has guided the la
borers north through Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota, until they are now arriving
in North Dakota harvest fields.
''Forty-five cents an hour was the
wage in Oklahoma at the beginning
Of the harvest. season." said Mr..
Miller. In Kansas, the general wage
became So a day. and this wage scale
has continued up through Nebraska
and South Dakota Cities, such as
Sioux City, Oklahoma City and
Kansas City are bidding against
each other for common labor at $5
day. Men have come to the North
Dakota harvest fields with the un-
derstanding that the wages would be
equally as good here as in the
southern. states, and North Dakota
will have to pay the prevailing wage
to save. the, crops.
Wage Scales Cause Shortage.
Numerous complaints of the
shortage Of labor in North Dakota
have been. registered at Mr.. Bark
mans office, and after careful In
vestigation, this shortage has been
attributed to the schedule Of wages
adopted by local communities, which
was considerable less than the
wages paid throughout the harvest
fields from Oklahoma north
Mr.. Miller pointed out two forces
that are constantly diminishing the
farm labor supply in the country, the
number Of men entering military
service, and the number being re-
crutted by the United States govern
n1ent for war industries.
The United States government is
bidding for labor and transporting
trainloads Of men east every day to
the cantonment camps, powder mills
and ship yards at wages along the
lines above indicated, and even pay
ing for the transportation OF men.
Laborers naturally follow these
channels Of demand. North Dakota's
quota Of the 100000 men WHO will
be recruited throughout the United
States for war industries lis 1850
men, all these forces acting together,
decreasing the number Of men avail
able for farm help.

GERMAN MORALE
MUCH AFFECTED
Austrians And Germans
Score Minor Success
In Albanian Attack
(By Associated Press.)

With the French Army in France,
Friday. Aug. 23.-Further evidence
has been gathered that the victories
Of the allies have affected consider
ably the morale Of the German
troops. The cause of the depression,
which is quite general among the
prisoners taken recently, Is the con-
clusion that they have reached, af-
ter comparison, the decision that the
allied artillery tactics are far super
ior tR theirs. They attributed their
defeat to the French encircling their
strongest positions and in well
directed and concealed artillery fire.
After the surprise caused by the
allied successful resistance in the
middle Of July the CONSERVATION at
the successful counter attacks and
the depression caused by the re-
treats, dissensions seem to have
arisen between different elements Of
the German army. These have re-
suited in bitter recriminations, in
formation concerning which has
been collected recently.
The bulk of the JuVigny plateau
is in the hands of the French, who
are again on the edge of the battle
field Of 1917. To the north lies the
Ailette valley. Eight miles eastward,
is LaffauX mill and the beginning Of
