Ishall:be glad to have you extend to the various contributors through The announcement. published in The Tribnne earlier in the week, emanating, from the adjutant general's office to the effect that Hettinger, Oli- ver. and certain other counties had not organized their exemption boards, has called forth telegraphic and telephonic denials from Hettinger and Oliver, both: of whose boards claim to have organized on the date specified. They failed, however, to.formally report their. organization to the adjutant gen- cordingly, among the missing. Today all but five county exemption boards have reported to the adjutant general's office and have sent in their serially numbered duplicate sets of registration cards.

Your Soldier Boy Abroad Is your son, your brother, or your fiance, perhaps, “somewhere = in France?” And does “somewhere in France” seem a hazy address for the letter you are anxious shall not miss fire, whether it reaches him in barracks or in trench, or at the concentration camp before he-goes to the front? If you:will follow the government's instructions in addressing your mail the government will do the rest. And a letter written, hendled and . dis- patched from American shores by ‘people who do not know the where- abouts of the recipient will reach with the least delay the spot “some- where in France” known probably to; only a few people.

Secre- tary Goodwin, whe is an experienced athletic director, already has organ-, ized two battalion baseball leagues, and a schedule has been adopted Two'or three ‘intercompany field meets will be staged during the com- ing week, to ‘be followed by one big battalion meet in which, winners of preliminary events will compete. The boys have also named commit- tees in each company to make ar- rangements for a minstrel ‘show, which will be offered at the Auditori- um in the near future. The battalion contains much real talent, and the; big show promises to be an entertain- ing feature of the military life of the capital, Thé, association will appreciate do- nations of books and current maga- zines for the reading tables. The soldier boys are inveterate readers, and they are constantly running out ct material. Citizens of Bismarck are urged to throw away no maga- zines, but to call Secrezary Goodwin at the post exchange, who will ar- range for their concentration at same convenient, point and their transport- ation to the fort. GERMANS PRACTICE ALL FORMS OF BRUTALITY , (Continued from page one) half rations only for two days’ sub- sistence. Another cruelty practiced upon de-| ported to force them to work is the severe application of the Turkish| bath. Several witnesses have con- firmed this fact, among them the son of a manufacturer of the region of Antwerp, who with several of his com- rades in camps, was shut up in a small room heated to a very high tem- perature. There was only room in the place for them to stand erect, and so crowded that they were scarcely able to turn. They were left there for 24 hours. Die from Mistreatment. Then they were led to a factory | where they were asked to go to work. Upon their refusal they were taken to a field under military escort. Their overcoats, shoes, scarfs and hats were tale from them, and they were ex- posed in a snowstorm an entire day and an entire night with nothing to eat or drink and under the absolute prohibition not to make the slightest movement. Some lost consciousness after a few hours, and all were taken to the hospital the folowing day. ‘The son of the manufacturer died from the mistreatment. AIR RAIDS CVER RIGA. Berlin, July 12.—‘During the last few days our air squadrons success- fully and repeatedly dropped bombs; on the batteries near Zerel and Ar- ensburg and the island of Oesel, off the Gulf of Riga,” says an official statement issued today. “Large fires were observed. De- spite violent firing by hostile batter- ies, all our acroplanes returned safe-| ly.” Good Excuse. George did not like to go to dancing school. One day while his mother was | dressing him for the school he said: “Mother, it is foolish for me to learn to dance. As soon as I get old enough I will have to go to war anyway.” How Long Must I Suffer From the Pangs of Rheumatism? Is there no real relief-in sight? Doubtless: like other sufferers, you have often asked yourself this ques- tion; which continues to remain un- answered. ~ ‘ Science has proven that your Rheu- matism is caused by a germ in your blood, and the only way to reach it is by a remedy which eliminates and re- moves these little pain demons from your blood...

The New York Evening Mail has to say of the production : “The Fron- mans have turned out a bully film play. For one thing--and unlike four- fifths of the current productions—it has a story, big, vigorous and well told. Mr. Thomas made mental tele- pathy the basic theme of his drama. Thus a drama through mental sug- gestion acquits the young hero of the story.” “The Witching Hour’ has a genu- ine grip and a mental message of up- lift. It is an admirable and thor- oughly commendable screen play. _.__ FIRST DISTRICT VOTE Cass. Cavalier . Grand Forks . Nelson Pembina Ramsey Ransom Richland Sargent Steele . ‘Towner Traill .
