Death Rate At

board Of health statistics which
have sought to fasteh on Bismarck a
reputation for an abnormally high
death rate were given the lie when
City Health officer F. B. Strauss pre-
scented to the city commission at it's
weekly meeting, carefully. compiled
city's actual resident death rate is
6;25 per. 1000 population, instead Of
20 per 1000 as the state board Of
health recently published. To arrive
at even this comparatively small
death rate it has been necessary to
include four still-births, two suicides
and several deaths resulting from
purely accidental causes. and which
cannot be traced to lack of sanitary
precautions or to unhealthful condi-
tions.

employed, by providing that where
there are compelling domestic cir
Cumstances that would not permit
change of employment by the regis
trant without disproportionate hard
ship to his dependents, or where a
change FROM non useful to useful
employment or occupation would
necessitate a removal Of the regis
trant or his family, local boards may
give consideration to the circum-
| stances. The regulation further pro-
vides that where such a change of
employment would compel the night
employment Of women under cir
cumstances which a board might
deem unsuitable for such employ
ment of women, the board may take
such circumstances into considera-
ton in making its decision.
Crowder's Explanation.
Explaining the new regulation and
the necessity for it, General Crowder
| said:
THE war has so far disorganized
| the normal adjustment Of industrial
man power as to prevent the enor-
nous industrial output and national
organization necessary to success.
There is a popular demand for or
| ganiZatiOn of man power but no di-
rect draft could be imposed at pres
ent.
Steps to prohibit idleness and non
effective occupation will be welcomed
by our people.
This is not alone war Of military
maneuvers. it is a deadly contest Of
industries and mechanics. Germany
hn Of
possessing an army, we must think
of her as being an army-an army in
which every factory and loom in the
empire is an organized part in
complete machine running night and
day at terrific speed. We must make
Of ourselves the same sort Of effec-
tive machine.
Must Become Effective.
TT is enough to ask what would
happen if every man in the nation
turned his hand to effective work.
We must organize for the future.
We must make vast Withdrawals for
the army and Immediately close up
the ranks of industry behind the gap
with an aCcelerating production Of
every useful thing in necessary
measure. How is this to be done?
The answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution or the DILL
Guilty is to prohibit engagement by
able bodied men in the field of hurt
full employment, idleness or ineffec-
tual employment. and thus induce
and persuade the vast wasted excess
into useful fields.
THE very situation we are now
considering, however. offers great
possibilities in improvement Of the
draft as we'll as great possibilities
for the composition of the labor sit
uation by effective administration Of
the draft. Considering the selective
service law. we see two principal
causes of deferment of the call to
military service-exemption and the
order numbers assigned by lot The
exemptions themselves fall into two
conspicuous acknowledgements
and industrial employment. One
protects domestic relations, the other
the economic interests Of the nation
Between the two there is an newt
able hiatus, for it is demonstrably
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-05-23

true that thousands If not millions,
Of dependency exemptions have no
effect on industrial protection what
ever.
One of the unanswerabIe criti-
cisms Of the draft has been that it
takes men from the farms and from
all useful employments and marches
them past crowds of idlers and loaf
ers away to the army. The remedy
is simple-to couple the industrial
basis with other grounds for exemp-
ton and to require than any. man
pleading exemption on any ground
shall also show that he is contrib
uting effectively to the industrial
welfare of the nation.
THE regulation itself makes plain
the determination of the war depart
ment. The great organization of
local and district boards which has
already accomplished a notable work
may be relied upon to catch the
spirit Of the movement and sorely
needed man power will soon be flow
ing into the fields of useful endeavor
or into the other direction Of mill
tary strength"
Baseball players, as well as jock
eys, professional golfers and other
professional sportsmen, General
Crowder said today, will be affected
by the regulations if strictly en-
forced. General Crowder said he did
not desire to make specific rulings
at this time and would make rulings
only when cases come to him from
local boards after July 1.
Theatrical performers were except
ed from the regulations at the direc-
ton Of Secretary Of War Baker, who
is said to feel that the people cannot
do without all amusement in war
time and that other amusements
could be dispensed with more read
lily.

Sparkling, Farce

upstairs and Down." which ap-
peared at the Orpheum last evening
may, like the scene in which it was
laid, be no place for a Methodist,
but it wouldn't harm a Methodist
with a sense of humOr very serious
ly,
In Upstairs and Down" the Hat
tons have achieved a sparkling farce
without the hurricane OF action con-
Yentbonally demanded by such a
type of entertainment, and have
made good the deficiency with crisp
ly witty lines and a. most refreshing
sunartness.
For more than two hours upstairs
and Down" skirts the edges Of the
rtsQue, without ever stepping over
the Line into vulgarity. The dialogue
fairly sparkles; there is a delightful
vein of unobtrusive satire running
through 1T an; and after threaten
ing for three acts to shock their
audience without quite accomplish
ing it, the Hattons hand across a
little sugar coated Pill of morality
that slips down quite easily and
leaves everybody happy and all
consctences appeased.
The rather ftmsy thing that
passes Tor a plot, mlghL easily de-
generate into vulgarity, If the lines
were less skilful, but even some
vulgarty might be forgiven in re-
turn for such refreshing comedy as
Upstairs and Down" provides. The
Hattons do not need any apologies
on this score, however, for they slide
across the thin ice on an epigram,
and dissolve each Puritan protest
with a laugh.
1t is all as smart as a new limou-
sine; and as witty as Oscar wilde
Oscar Wilde not quite at his best
Upstairs and Down" may lack
the qualities to make 1t a great box
office success. 1t Is too flimsy a
thing to claim any dramatic merit or
perhaps to become a popular success
for any length of time, but as one
evenings antidote to thoughts Of the
war, and as a little dramatic ''bracer'
it is an undenia.ble triumph.
The company was quite worthy Of
such a little dramatic cocktail. 1t
was above any but captious critic
ISM and quite capable Of presenting
one of the cleverest light comedies
since Lady Windermere's Fan" de-
lighted theater- goers.-J. f. r,

Warn Finland TO
Keep Hands off
MourmdnSR Road
(Ry Associated Press.l

London. May 28.-Any measures
directed by Finland aginst the
Mourmansk railway will be regarded
by Great Britain, France and the
United States as a breech of neutral
ity, The Dagblad, Of Stockholm, says.
A Stockholm despatch to the Morn
ing Post quotes this newspaper to
the effect that the Finnish govern
ment has been so informed by Great
Britain.
The Mourmansk railway was built
after the war began, primarily to give
Russia another port Of entry for war
supplies. 1t runs from Mourmansk
on the Arctic across the Kola pen
insuIa to a junction point with the
Archangel- Petrograd line.
French and British marines for
some time have been boarding the
war materials stored there. These
troops were reinforced recently by a
British expedition. Last month a
party of Finnish White Guards made
an attempt to cut the railway line.

Teacher Sought
By Fargo Police

Police are looking for Miss
Blanche Macauley, 20, an attractive
looking school teacher, who three
weeks ago enrolled in the school Of
telegraphy at the Western Union Of
flee, and on Saturday Of last week,
it is alleged, passed worthless
checks to the aggregate amount Of
about SIS on Fargo and Moorhead
merchants. The last seen of her
was in Moorhead Saturday night. A
warrant has been issued.
In enrolling at the school Of tel
egraphy, she stated on her applica-
ton that she had taught at Buffalo,
N. D., and at Amidon, N. D. Checks
were passed at the Kruse store, the
Kicker department store, the Fargo
drug, the Economy drug, G. E.
Shotwell, Madson's cafe, in Fargo,
and Howard Moody's store in Moor
head. It is believed several other
checks are out and will come in
either today or tomorrow. The
checks so far reported range from
S1490 to 50, and are drawn on the
Dakota Savings bank. She had
small account there at one time.
In making out the checks, Miss
Macauley signed her name in full
and under it wrote Western Union

Baseball Men LovaI.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 23-'Every-
thing must be done to win this war"
said President John K. Tener today,
upon learning of the new order Of
Provost General Crowder. and if
baseball is a sport as classified in
this new order, and not a business
in which there is a great investment
Of money, then baseball will not be
behind other interests in contribut-
ing it's part toward winning the war.
IF baseball is non essential, and
players Of draft age have to give
up playing. the clubs will try to find
players that are not of draft age,
and if this cannot be done, there Is
a possibility that our ball parks will
have to be closed, and the season
brought to an end.
Since the draft or CONSUMPTION
act has been effective we have been
operating with the understanding
that baseball was being encouraged
by the government, and players have
been responding as they have been
called under the provisions of the
draft, in great numbers, and many
Of them have volunteered.
Baseball also has been doing its
share Of work in every way, and
baseball is only too glad to comply

BETRAYERS OF HUMANITY

Thru nineteen hundred and eighteen
years Judas has been regarded as the
arch traitor of all history.
And justly so.
For he sacrificed what stood for
the spiritual salvation of all mankind
to rapacious band of murderers.
All for thirty pieces of silver.
Today the material salvation of all
mankind is directly at stake; the
freedom, the liberty, the democracy of
the world.
And for just few more pieces of
silver than Judas got, and these per-
haps worth less than they in the
marts, there are thousands OF men
and women in America ready to fol
low Judas footsteps.
Men and women who believe them
selves worth while in the world. Who
daily move among US guised N the
linen and fine raiment of respecta-
bility.
The betrayers of humanity
Folks who conscientiously object tc
war or the support Of war and are Sc
creting their world store.
Folks who prate of peace when the
Hun has set all the world af1ame ane
would loot the ruins.
Folks who have enjoyed all the
blessings of free country, yet wher
ever they may be are lending aid tt
the kaiser.
Folks who put a matter of two pei
cent in interest earnings above theil
gratitude to country.
Folks who sacrifice pleasure abov'
patriotism, lucre above loyalty, sci
ishness above sacrifice for the coun
try's good.
Folks who refuse to buy Libert,
Bonds.
With none to say "Father forgiv
them"
For they all know what they do.

no RED Gross CREDIT

Through the generosity of Mr.. W.
L. Biddle, Mrs. Jacob HIATT and Mr..
M. J. Linehan, the enterprise and push
OF L. W. Hartman and the hearty
cooperation and service of the Betsy
Ross Girls and others, a credit of
$26.62 has been placed in the War
Chest Fund for Fulton Chapter,
American Red Cross. Mr.. Biddle gave
a fine registered Holstein calf, Mrs.
HIATT lot in the city of Detroit and
Mr. Linehan a lot in the village Of
Lyons. Ticket sale on these dona-
tions to the Red Cross Society in or
der to convert them into gauze, alb
sorbent cotton, muslin, yarn and other
material which this society can use
for our soldiers, was managed by Mr..
Hartman, who enlisted the services
of young ladies and Red Cross work
ers all over the county, calling espe-
cially on the Betsy Ross Girls of
Wauseon to aid in the ticket sale.
Many young ladies in all the villages
of the county have given splendid
service and the result is that tickets
to the value of $229.12 were sold; the
expenses connected with the sale were
$3.50 and the balance of $216.62 has
been placed in the county War Chest
to the credit of the Red Cross.
Awards of the donations were made
at the Fulton County Fair on the last
great day of the feast. The calf was
awarded to Dale Blair; the Detroit
lot to George McQuillin and the Lyons

DON'T SELL YOUR
WAR SAVINGS CTAME

1t has come to my attention that
some people are planning to cash in
;heir War Savings Stamps in order to
purchase Bonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan and 1 desire to protest against
this.
The funds derived from the sale of
War Savings Stamps is used to prose
cute the war and is of the same value
to the government as is the funds
derived from the sale of Liberty
Bonds.
1t is not an act of patriotism for
you to dispose Of your War Savings
Stamps at this time.
Liberty Bonds should be purchased
out of your future earnings, and paid
for as far as possible on the dates
set by the government.
Do not duplicate your efforts, each
successive call for funds by the gov.
ernment is a new responsibility which
cannot be discharged, by the sale Of
the Bonds or Stamps previously pur
chased. W. B. HARRIS,
County Chairman.
