Local Exemption Board
Closes Affairs March 81

Monday and Tuesday of this week
the Local Board Records of Hand
County were Grated and shipped to
the Adjutant General or the army at
Washington. ID. c. This practically
completes the work OF the local board,
which will be closed the thirty first
of March.
/. In the twenty-one months during
which Harlan j. Bushfield served as
chairman and John r. McCullen as
secretary, served on this board, about
1900 men were classified by them. of
which number BAT were sent to camp.
At times the work was very heavy,
and occupied evenings and Sundays,
as well as their working hours, but
with the able assistance of the chief
clerk. Miss Aasby. and the assistant
clerk, Miss Gonstead, the work was
accomplished. 1t was met with a war
spirit and has been an experience
they would not are to have missed.
With but few exceptions they were
helped along by the registrants them
selves, many asking to be sent be-
fore their number was reached. Some
sold their crops in the field. while the
new registrants waived their claims
for deferred classification. thus max
ing the work easier for the board.
The total registration of Hand
County was 2111

Hindenburg Defends Flight
Of Former Emperor Wilhelm

Berlin, March 20.-Aroused by re-
cent criticism of former Emperor Will
liam regarding his flight from Ger
many to Holland last fall, Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has prepared
and published here a defense of the
ex%-ruler's action. After depicting the
situation as 1t existed in November,
caused by the weakening of the army,
the doubtful reliability of the forces
in the field and the breaking out of
the revolution at home, the field mar
shall says:
"The peaceful return home Of the
emperor, then became impossible. II
could only have been carried out
through the forceful employment OF
loyal troops. and civil war would have
been added to the hostilities OF the
enemy.
THE emperor could have taken
himself to the fighting troops in order
to meet death at their head in a last
attack upon the enemy. but the arms
tice SO keenly desired by the people
would thereby have been postponed.
and the lives of many soldiers use
lessly sacrificed. The emperor. after
agreement with his advisors. and after
a severe mental struggle, decided to
leave the country solely that he could
thereby best serve the fatherland. save
Germany from further distress and
misery and restore order and peace
to her."

EXTRA SESSION
EARLY IN MAY

Paris, Friday. March 21.-A special

can congress probably will be called
to assemble about the middle of May.

to return to the United States "A is
possible that II the treaty OF peace
is sufficiently advanced to warrant
such a course, a special session of
the senate may be called ven earlier
to afford II opportunity to deal with
this snbject' before being called upon
to direct it's attention to other i'm
portant matters. the chief of which
will be financial affairs.
II the situation appears to demand
such action. it is not unlikely that
shortly after his return from Eur
ope, he will make an extended speak
ing tcar presenting views of the issue
directly to the voters in the states
whose senators are opposed to the
ratification Of the league of nations
plan.
Washington. ID. c., March 22.-It
was said officially at the white house
today that President Wilson might re-
turn to the United States by May 1,
leaving Paris Immediately after reach
ing an agreement on the principal
features of the peace treaty without
waiting for the actual signing Of the
document. An extra session of con-
gress not later than May Is now is
regarded as a certainty among OFF,
Gals and leaders in congress and IL
the president is able to return as
early as May /, both houses may be
called to meet very shortly after that
date. Government departments. by
resorting to various expedients, are
meeting the situation created by the
failure of the appropriation bills in

ND. STATE OFFICERS
CONDEMN new LAWS


bismarck, N. d.. March 21.-Fve
state oficisls, elected on the Townley
league ticket headed by Governor L. j.
Frazier. are now in open rebellion
against certain N~onpartisan league
policies and certain laws passed by
the Townley league controlled legis-
lature which met here in January and
February. These officials are Attor-
ncy General william LANCER, State
Auditor Carl Kositaky, State Treasur-
or Obert Olson. Secretary of State
Thomas Hail and Commissioner Of In
surance s. A. Olsness.
Not only have these officials critiz-
ed certain Of the acts put over" by
the league bosses, but two or there OF
them viii 90 on the public platform
and urge the rejection of the laws
they are opposed to.
So far as the league leaders are con
cerned the breach in the official family
comes at a most inoppcrtune moment.
They are Just completing a series of
200 antireferendum meetings in the
state, at which they have pleaded with
the people not to refer to themselves
the laws they, the league leaders, fore
ed through the legislature.
There is no question but that sufi-
cient petitions will be secured to refer
the several laws that are included in
the groupefhat are being attacked. and
when such petitions are filed, the
league leaders will have lost the first
round OF their battle to prevent the
people from using the powers bestow-
ed on them by their constitution, to
review acts of the legislature with
reference to which they feel there is
need Of taking a vote
Il vas elected by the people and !
shall serve the people, Kositzky is
reported to have said today. II do not
propose to hold myself responsible to
any political car who assumes to club
me into line. Townley and his retinue
of socialistic carpetbaggers executed
their cwr selfish designs and not the
will of the people during the last leg
i~slative assembly and I decline to APP
prove their action"
Asked whether ne would take an
aggressive part in the campaign to
defeat the measures to which he is
opposed, Mr.. Kositsky said:
"Do you think | would sit back and
see them put over something like that
without asserting myself? Not much
I shall get out and fight them. AL
ready l have been asked to speak in
four places and l intend to do So"
Commissioner Olsness, the fifth
state official to join the revolt. said in
an authorized interview that he is
strongly opposed to the educational
and printing bills passed by the legis-
lature, and urged that they be reject
ed through the employment of the
referendum.
"The educational bill and the print
ing bill should most certainly be turn
ed down by the people of North Da-
kota," said Mr.. Olsness Neither of
these laws can be considered league
bills. and they have no place on our
statute books. They are inimical to
the best interests of the people Of the
state, and their passage by the legis-
lature was, in my opinion, absolutely
unwarranted.
p am opposed to both bills, and
sincerely trust that they will be re-
ferred to the people and that the
people will veto them"

LEAGUE DRAFT
IS AMENDED
Monroe Doctrine Is Protected and
Many Other Changes Made
in Text

Paris. March 25.-An American
amendment to protect nations against
the influx of foreign labor was adopt
ed today by the league Of nations
commission. 1t affirms the right of
any country i'm the league to control
matters solely within domestic juris-
diction.
Article X Amended
The American peace delegation, II
is understood, has definitely agreed
upon the amendment 1t will offer to
article X of the covenant Of the league
of nations to safeguard the Monroe
Doctrine.
The amendment provides that
agreements under the covenant shall
not be construed as an infringement
upon the principles of International
policies heretofore generally recog-
nized.
President Wilson would have offer
| ed the amendment at the meeting OF
the league of nations commission last
night, but discovered a slight imper-
lection in the text and reserved the
| right to submit it later.
AS framed the amendment will be
an appendix to the article pledging
members of the league to respect and
preserve against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of members.
Mention of the Monroe Doctrine by
name is avoided purposely.
Inasmuch as President Wilson and
Colonel House on several occasions
have discussed the subject with Pref
mers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Orlando, it Is assumed that the presi-
dent assured himself of favorable ac-
ton in advance OF the submission of
the amendment to the commission.
Phrase Is Changed
Other changes in the covenant made
at last nights meeting and which are
regarded by the American delegates
of great importance were calculated
to meet suggestions and objections
emanating from America. They in
clude a substitute for the phrase
states members of the league in ar
ticle X, and elsewhere in the covenant
thus meeting objections that the lat
ter term created membership.
Many Changes in Text
Many changes in the text of the
covenant were made with the special
purpose of Qualification and removing
antiquities to which attention had
been called by speakers in the Unit
ed States Some doubt is entertained
in some quarters as to the wisdom
of amendments affirming absolute
control of countries over their inter-
nal affairs, as possibly prohibiting the
extension of outside aid to put down
revolutions. and it is possible this
language may he further modified.
n amendment to be submitted
adopts a provision that powers which
are not specifically delega I'D 10 the
league are reserved to Individual
members. Nothing has yet been done
to afirmatively state the RICH: Of n
nation with regard to it's withdrawal
from the league, nor has the Japanese
amendment regarding radical di=crim-
ination been reached. This latter.
however. has been modified 81 as to
simply declare for the right Of lust"
treatment and is likely to be accepted.
A French amendment providing for
the maintenance of a general military
staff has been proposed but thus far
1t has not been accepted.

THIRTEEN FORMER
SOLDIERS TESTIFY
IN BEHALF OF FORD

MOUNT CLEMENS Mich. May a.
Thirteen former soldiers took the wit
ness stand to testify for Henry Ford in
his million dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Daily Tribune in Judge Tuck
cr's court today.
Their testimony was all to the same
general effect in refutation Of charges
made in the body Of the alleged libelious
editorial headed: Ford Is An Anarch-
ist." The editorial stated MT. Ford
would not pay his employees who went
with tho National Guard to the Mexican
border. would not care for their depend
cnts nor hold their positions open Tor
them until they returned.
The plaintiff admits that he did not
nav salaries OF his men while absent but
denies that ~ deserted their depend
cnt. and asserts that the position OF the
guardsmcn were held open just as posi-
tions were held for any other employees
who lcf; tho factory for causes beyond
their control.
Those who testified today all had been
in MI Ford's employ when the national
guard was modified in 1916: all Joined
the colors and all testified that they
were rcinstated in their old positions or
better ones without discrimination when
they returned. S.
