THE TOBACCO POST CARDS
Replies to Kits Sent to Boys at Front
Should Come Soon

NEW YORK, March 16, 1918.
Ledger, Mexico, Mo,
Gentlemen
We hear from all sides that post
cards are now beginning to make
appearance in this country addressed
to the contributors of our Tobacco
Funds.
Many Newspapers, such as the
Washington Times, Cincinnati Post,
Detroit Free Press, ETC., have already
published reproductions of cards and
letters from the boys acknowledging
the tobacco and we hope from now on
that they will arrive regularly.
We have explained to you before
some of the gigantic difficulties in
the way of getting quick action on
these cards. Everyone who has paid
for a kit naturally wants to see an
acknowledgement of it. Possibly some
contributors have become rather dis
couraged about their prospects, but
we feel confident that some time or
other they will get some sort of an
acknowledgement.
You can well imagine some of the
boys are not very prompt in sending
these cards back but you must keep
on assuring your readers that they
can hope for the best. Naturally
some of these cards will never come
back. There is no human way of
guaranteeing safe delivery of trans
atlantic mails these days of subma-
rines. We hope that any contributor
who never gets a card will feel kindly
about it, because it will be nobody's
fault if he don't.

Men Between 10 and 81 Years
Old Will be Classified Soon
For Quick Induction into the
Military Service on Battlefield.

The second general registration of
American man-power for military
service in the war against the Ger
man and Austrian empires took place
in Grand Forks city and county to-
day, and from the early morning
thronged by men eager to respond
to the summons Of the nation.
Smiling faces were in evidence ev-
erywhere. If there were any dis
gruntled individuals among the regis
trants. they practiced the art Of
camouflage very effectively and skill
fully. for they kept their ~dissatisfac-
amounted to-amazingly well under
cover. AS a general rule, however, it
appears that it was not necessary to
suspect camouflage in very many in
stances, for the information demand
ed by registrars was cheeerfully n
willingly givn.
The readiness to bring the supreme
sacrifice, if need be, was evident at
all the registration stations. One fac
tor that seemed to contribute much
to this is the continued progress made
by the Allies on the western front
during the last w months; the con-
seriousness of the daily victories act
ed as an Inspiration on many minds,
and more than one was heard to ex-
press eager anxiety for quick induc-
ton into the army.
There have been three registra-
tons here during the las fifteen
months: today's is the fourth, but
those of June S. 1918, and August "a,
1918, included only that limited class
of men who had recently attained
their tw~enty-first veal Today it was
different. You saw the quite young
men, those between Is and 81, mingle
with the men of more sedate age and
habits-the men included in the
classes up to As years. The seniority
of this latter class Of men did not
seem to bother any, for there was
considerable "camaraderie' appar-
emf when you saw the boys of IS
shake hands and, swap jokes with
those of As, and m the other hand.
the older men resented being consid-
cred much more than 10 or 20. They
felt that they were in the process of
rejuvenation and that it was worth
something to them to be thought an
asset in Uncle Sans man-power bal
ance sheet.
In short the insuperable Will to

sihle to tell ever approximately when
the call may come, as the lists are we'll
filled at, present, and in the meantime
DR.. Tompkins will continue his dental
practice here.
DR.. Tompkins has been persistent in
his effort to enter war service. Last
May he sought opportunity to enter
the dental service Of the army, but
was informed that the supply of APP
p%licants was greater than the demand
was likely to be for some time. He
next made application. to the navy,
and in July he took his examination
at Fort Lyon, Colorado. Final re-
turns have just been received, and a
commission will be issued in due
course.

CAR FARES TO INCREASE
Special Session of Council Acts on
Important Matters.

Street car fares will be raised to
seven cents, within a week or ten
days, according to. a resolution adopt
ed last night at a special meeting of
the city council. Thomas Roycraft,
manager of the Street Railroad COM
pany presented the petition to the
council. He stated hat on account
of the prevailing cost # equipment
and repairs, the advance would be
necessary.
Changes were made in the annual
appropriation bill, passed last night.
! An appropriation Of $l65,25O was fix
ed, and the ordinance fixing the sal
aries of the city employees was also
passed.
Several changes were made in these
salaries. A salary of $95 per month
was set for the city food inspector,
Mrs. r. A. Sprague. The salary of
the city auditor, Mr.. Alexander, was
raised to $1,000 a year.
This brings the annual appropria-
ton bill up to $165.250. which is, $685.
975 more than last year.

REGISTRATION Day
n WILLING Men



At 3 O'Clock today figures gath
cred by The Herald staff from the
various polling stations in the
city indicated that 792 men had
registered in the city. There Is
no material available for csti-
mating the number of men who
will register between 3 O'Clock
and 8 O'Clock tonight when the
registrars will end their work,
but it is expected that a heavy
rush will set in when stores and
Offices close.
At a late hour this afternoon
no reports had been received
from the registrars distributed
throughout the county.

voted largely to the treatment Of pa

the slightest indication of Tuberculosis

Win was reasserted, enthusiastically
and Enthusiastically, and when some
registrants were told of the launch
ing of what may develop into the
greatest battle Of the war, hand
clapping and shouts of joy were
heard; the fact that Americans are
taking a major part in the operations
around st. Mihiel did not, Of course,
dampen the enthusiast of those who
today take the first step in the direc-
ton of actual military service.
Heavy Advance Registration.
Shortly before o it was reported
that there was a shortage of. registra-
ton cards on hand at the Office of the
local draft board; this was due to
the heavy advance registration of
transients which has been going on
during the week, but although the
difficulty at one time looked serious
enough, a way was found to shift the
supplies of cards around from one
precinct to another so that at a late
hour this afternoon it appeared there
were enough cards for today's regis
tration.
The office Of the draft board is u.s.
ually the busiest place in the city. 1t
was so today, also, but nc more busy
than on other days, for no registra-
ton was done there. Registrars had
been placed at the polling stations
throughout the city, and registration
was made by precincts. ,
The estimated number of regis
trants for the city and county was
about 1900; there is at present no in
ulcatlon of how near the truth this
will be. but it appears certain that
the actual number will be consider
ably in xcess of the estimate. No re-
ports have been received from the
registrars in the county districts, but
in the city about $50 men had regis
tered up to IL o'clock moor.
All the registration stations in
the city and county will remain
open until 8 o'clock tonight SO
hat those who have not had an
opportunity during the day to
register, may do so tonight. At
any event. for failing to
register will not be accepted, and
the man who fails to do his duty,
will be liable to severe punish
ment
