RIGHT OF CITIZENSHIP
LOST TO THOSE OF NON-ENEMY
COUNTRIES CLAIMING EXEMP-
TIONS ON THAT GROUND

Several men who have filled 'out
questionnaires with the. local board
have claimed exemption on the ground
that they are aliens of non enemy coun-
tries. A law passed since the United
States entered the war states that an
alien who claims exemption from the
draft on this account will never, even
after the war, be granted citizenship
papers.
The local board thinks that those who
have claimed exemption on this ground
do not understand as they might have
got it mixed with the alien enemy
clause, or are not aware Of the penalty
in making this exemption plea and the
press is used to explain it to them. Men
who wish to withdraw the plea can do
so by calling att the office Of the local
board and if they wish it, will be put
in some other class. If the men still
wish to evade the draft by giving this
excuse, the penalty will be imposed and
the men branded as slackers.

DRAFT BOARD IS @. K.
REPORT OF INQUIRY CLEARS
BODY-WORK OF MEMBERS
COMMENDED

Minneapolis Journal (3): The Morri-
son county draft board was given a
clean bill today by Major john P. Sny-
der, chief draft aid, in report Of an
investigation Of the board by Captain
Harry Murphy, draft inspector.
"The inquiry showed that the only
fault with the Morrison county draft
board was it's tendency to be overzeal-
ous,' said Major Snyder. 'It did not
seem to realize that the district board
was trying to work with it, and some
difficulties followed. These have been
satisfactorily adjusted and the board
has clear record.'
Individual board members were COM
mcnded by the draft officials for their
conscientious work. Special mention
was made of Sheriff Paul Felix, who has
three sons in military service.

THIRD COUNTY IN DISTRICT TO
REPORT-0VER $65O,0O0 BONDS
BOUGHT

The Fourth Liberty Loan drive
launched in Morrison county Saturday
was fine success it going cover the
top' in hurry. In fact Morrison was
one of the first three counties to make
it's quota in Minnesota. Its wonderful
success was due to the cooperation Of
the people Of the county with Chairman
Millard and the majors and captains OF
each district, who confined their efforts
to making the drive success.
The drive started at 9 O'Clock Sat-
urday morning with the blowing of
whistles and the ringing Of bells in
the city. After that the siren of the
paper mill was blown for every 100000
worth Of bonds reported to the central
office as being subscribed. The siren
was blown first at 10 a. M, and other
periods coming in regularity.
Bowlus was the first village to re-
port it's quota filed. This village has
always come to the front in all war ac-
tivities and is worthy Of no small
amount Of praise.
The city, with quota of $4,000,
had this amount oversubscribed shortly
after 10 p. m. Saturday night by $4,000.
The city's going cover the top was
voiced through the streets of the city
by a large delegation Of men and boys
who paraded the streets shouting to the
top Of their lungs. They were headed
by VIM. H. Bastien and Jerome Male
rich, who beat march time on bass and
snare drum.
The windows Of the Dunn confection-
cry and w. H. Clute's barber shop were
used as bulletin board, where the al
lotments of each township, village and
city in the county were registered and
where the report of the amounts sub.
scribed by each of these were recorded
during the day. When a precinct went
over the top it was registered in red
paint.
Morrison county has always raised its
quota in every war loan but this dem
onstration of cooperation Of it's citizens
in buying bonds has never been equal
ed. They can feel proud of the showing
they have made in helping the govern
ment out in such splendid way and in
backing our boys up who are in the
service. The quota Of the county was
100000 and up to the present about
$650,O has been subscribed Blue cards
were furnished for those who failed to
come to the polling places to get their
allotment or men who refused to pay
what their allotment called for. There
have been about thirty Of such cards
handed in to the central office and Mr..
Millard states that he will follow cards
up to the limit. All delinquents can
call for their allotments which are in
the hands of the majors in their district
or can make a personal visit to Mr.. Mil
lard, who will also give them their
quota on or before October 6. After
that if they have made no attempt to
get their quota Of bonds they will be
called before the central committee who
will dispose of each case.
Several precincts have fallen down in
filing their quotas and Mr.. Millard
states that recanvas will be made to
see where the trouble lies.
Following is the quotas and amount
