Deserters From Army
Go On A Strike In.
Switzerland, Report

Zurich. Switzerland. Feb. 2S.-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press. IA strike of d%eserters' has
been in progress here for some weeks.
The twelve to thirteen thousand de-
s%erters. mostly from the central en-
pires, who have taken refuge in Swift
zerland. are as rebellious to service in
the field and the factory as they are
in the front line trenches, and most
of them refuse to work.
Until recently every deserter who
could find his way across the frontier
into Switzerland was given shelter
with no other condition than that he
pay his taxes and observe the Law.
The number continually increased and
on tho occasion of the riots in Zurich
the federal authorities discovered that
there were too many Of these desert
RS among the leaders Of the disorder.
1t was then decided to order a civil
mobilization that would enable the
government to round up all unoccu-
pied foreigners and set them to work.
The strike Of the deserters followed
this mobilization. The dessrters pre-
tended to the right Of asylum in the
country. without the obligation of
work. They were supported by a
certain element of the Swiss Socialist
party with Maximalist tendencies.
I'VE came here to escape servi-
tude," the deserters said. I'VE reject
all obligations Of service, military or
civil: we will obey no order and we
summon the Socialist party Of Swift
zerland to sustain US Immediately"
The Socialist part. Of Switzerland
met at. often in general convention

STUDENTS RESERVE
Ensign Nelson Brings Orders for Uni
versity Men.

Ensign Theodore Nelson of the
Minneapolis naval recruiting station
was in the city yesterday consulting
with the local naval recruiting force
and the university officials concerning
orders Of h navy department on en-
listing technical students in the naval
reserve.
The orders are in effect that any
student taking a technical course at
"a university, may enlist in the Uni
ted States naval reserve, class 4, as
second class seaman. Theys may then
finish their course at the university
and at the end of that time are given
another examination. inc rated ac-
cording to their ability.
Although no promise Of promotion
is made, most of the students will un-
doubtedly be promoted. There are of
course certain physical and mental re-
quirements which the students must
pass to enter the service. The reason
given for the order is that future en-
gineers must be insured for the navy.
Ensign Nelson has turned the re-
cruiting in this city over to the naval
recruiting officers here.
When asked for his opinion Of the
order, Acting President of the Uni
versity Dean F.. ]. Babcock said that
the plan offered a great opportunity
for the students and gave his promise
to back the move in any way pos
aihle.

CITY WATER
FILTRATION
EXPLAINED
Public Demonstration Held
This Afternoon at Filtrae
ton Plant.

Is the Grand Forks city water
pure?
Yes. emphatically yes. according to
DR.. J.. w. Cox of the state public
health laboratory.
The new system which has been in
stalled at the. filtration plant was
demonstrated this afternoon to many
people of the CITY,
AS shown by comparison. the water
drawn from taps in every part Of the
city Is just as pure as the many var
ieties of the so-called spring water.

ments, being tested each day by the
public health laboratory to Insure the
that can be obtained.
The water is pumped from the river
into a large tank in which there~is a
paddle-Wheel arrangement continu-
ally in motion. This paddle-wheel
serves to mix the chemicals-soda,
lime and alum-which are added to
remove the impurities. These chemi-
calls >are measured by machinery, a
separate machine being used for
each, and to each gallon of raw river
water is added l 1-2 grains OF alum,
grain of soda and 6 grains of lime.
Water Goes Through Sand and Gravel.
These chemicals acting upon the
raw water, cause a cloudy substance
known as "floc" to appear. After
passing through a series of tanks the
water is pumped into, IL larger COM
partment. the bottom Of which Is
composed of sand and gravel. After
passing through &c inches Of sand and
IS inches Of gravel the water -emerges
into the. main tank OF Il million gal

tiles removed, the ''floc' or sediment

this gravel compartment is thor
oughly cleaned by forcing water in
