VIII be sen from North Dakota to
Fort Logan. Colorado. and the Grand
Forks county quota will. be IS mon,
according to a statement made this

The government, in making this
call. emphasizes the fact that it wants
men who are skilled in various trades
or, willing to learn such trades, thus
providing an excellent opportunity for
young men to improve their means of
livelihood. To the. order of the
Acknowledgement is appended a
lengthy list indicating the trades
which the government wants repre-
Isented by the men who will be sent to
Fort Logan.
Anyone who desires to enlist vol
UNFAIRLY can do so by applying to the
local draft board. and the one con-
dition is that the applicant must be

its quota of 25. men through. voluntary
enlistment. it will draw on the regis
tered men for service.

MORE men
ARE NEEDED
Auto Truck and Gas Trac-
tor Drivers Wanted
Promotion Rapid.

Branch Chairman Fred L., Good
man has received a letter from the
Military Training Camps association
at Chicago, one of many sent to
branch chairmen in all small cities.
The letter quotes a telegram from
Washington. concerning the pressing
need for l5O heavy aNto truck drivers
and 400 gasoline tractor drivers.
These men are needed for a new tank
corps for early overseas work. All
names submitted should be of men
willing to be indicted if within the
draft age, OF enlisted if outside. PRO
icient men may win early non-com-
missioned grades in most interesting
work" The letter further states that
men who have had experience in drit-
ing pleasure cars only cannot qualify
as truck drivers.
This call for tractor men and truck
drivers is considered a great oppor-
tunity for the branch men in the
small cities to render efficient service.
1t is apparent at this time. when the
Germans are fighting with the des-
peration of despair with telling re-
suits. that the necessity for special eff
forts on the part of all branch chair
men must be given the gravest con
sideration.

There was another case. one that is

GERMAN MILITARISM
FACES SUPREME TEST

LONDON, Feb. L.
German militarism faced its supreme
test within its own borders today.
The common people, whose general
strike to enforce demands for food and
consideration of peace negotiations
reached its climax in riotlng and blood
shed last week. had the alternative Of
returning to work or paying the ex-
treme penalty-death by the firing

The fate of Germany-and in lesser
degree the whole world-depends upon
the strikers decision.
If they submit TO the supreme COM

German militarism has won another VIC

again concentrate their efforts In pre-
pairing for the spring drive against the
Allies.

STRIKE EPIDEMIC
MAY HIT HOLLAND

AMSTERDAM. Feb. 4.
The strike epidemic sweeping Europe
was expected to manifest itself in Hol-
land today.
Revolutionary Socialists and some
trades unionists had called a twenty
four hour walkout as a demonstration
In favor of prohibition of food exports
and the seizure and distribution of the
existing supplies.
Some dissension within the ranks OF
the unlonists was visible today. The
Amsterdam city trades union, support
ing the Revolutionary Socialists in their
demand that Rotterdam workers join
the strike, was opposed by the Neither
lands Federation of Trade Unions. 1t
was considered probable. however, that
some Of the Rotterdam workers would
walk out.
The Hague trades union committee
Is supporting the Revolutionary Social
lists.
