THOSE DRAWN FOR MILITARY SERVICE 10 APPEAR FOR EXAMINATION WITHIN TEN DAYS. WHEN EXEMPTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED as well as with the Germans and muni- tions, there is sufficient action in prog- ress on the western front to com- mand close attention. < The German crown prince received a, severe beating in his recent attacks along a wide front in the Aisne re- gion, but neverthless he is sacrificing more of his men in renewed efforts to shake the French lines. There was violent “fighting last night south of Cerny on this front, but although the French positions were twice pene- trated, the end of the fighting showed them to have remained intact in French hands. A British attack on the northern end of the Belgian- Franco front with the intensity of the big gunfire of late, seems to indi- cate as impending, but has not yet ‘been delivered. Raids on an extensive scale are being continued by General Haig’s troops, however, and last night they penetrated German positions on a wide front in the vicinity of La Basse and Armentieres.

Dr. Kriege added that Germany had urged Holland to demand an apology for this unheard of violation in Dutch waters and pre- cise assurance that it would not re- occur.

REPORTED EXCELLENT (By Associated Press.) American Training Camp in France, july 21—The chief medical officer of the American expeditionary forces yesterday made a round of the com- {| Panies in camp nearest headquarters and gave each troop section a brief talk on genera] health conditions, He explained the danger that ‘confronts all armies and urged the men to take precaution available for each individ- ual soldier. The troops responded finely’ to his patriotic appeal’to keep. in good physical condition for the rep-| utation of the American arms and Dronuieed faithfully not to drink un- tered» water and observe other pean precautions. 5 Conditions Excellent. Medical records thus far make it}, appear that the appeal had been: anti- cipated by the majority of, the men for Héalth conditions are , ,excellent:1 What ‘little’ sickness prevails, is limit ed, almost exclusively to a few cases of measles, and mumps contracted be- fore leaving the United States. Every soldier has been vaccinated against typhoid and in addition each troop section is equipped for filtering every drop of water. Likewise, every man under 45 years has been vaccinated against smallpox and will be similarly protected‘ against cholera, should it make its appearance. The American army has just com- pleted taking ovér the French base hospital near here, which will be opened in a few days with the John Hopkins unit comprising 30 physicians and surgeons, including a noted num- ber, of specialists, 250 attendants and 3..American nurses.

Not Cease Struggle for Liberty Now TEUTONS DESIRE TERRITORY AND MILITARY AUTOCRAGY Michaelis Fails to Make Favor- able Impression in.His First Address London, July 21—Premier Lloyd George said today that the -speech in the reichstag of Dr. Michaelis, the new German chancellor, meant that it Germany. were victorious. there would ‘be annexations all around and that the “military autocracy. would be established more firmly’ than _ ever, ‘the present speech showed: The pre- mier asserted that those in charge of affairs in Germany had for the mo- ment made the choice for war.

I prédict’ that it will not ‘be long before the German chancellor delivers a different speech and that is the one for which we are waiting.” Mr. Lloyd George said the food supply for the 1917-1918 period had already been secured, and that a pro- gram of cultivation had been arrang- ed to make the supply the following year seccure, even if losses increused. GERMANS DISAPPOINTED. Berlin, July 21.—Yesterday’s speech by Dr. Michaelis, imperial chancellor, before the reichstag, is interpreted as an indication that he is for the pres- ent steering a middle of the road course, : The spéech may be said hardly to have aroused, pre“ounced enthusiasm. The new chancellor does not present the héroic figure that Dr. von Beth- mann-Hollweg did. Furthermore, he did not reveal himself as an equally impressive speaker. ‘ADJOURNS UNTIL SEPT. 26.

The new firm name will be J. B. Halloran & Co., P. E. Byrne retaining his association with the business. Halloran was deputy auditor for two years and is a young business man of ability. The new firm will handle every line of insurance. It is believed Ellensworth will succeed Halloran as ‘deputy auditor, but no decision has | been reached as yet. SENATE FINES $2 MINIMUM Washington July 21—The sen. | price f sen- ate today adopted the food bill amendment authorizing the gov- ernment to spend ten million dol- lars for fertilizer to sell at cost. Washington, July 21—The senate today went on record by a vote of 46 to 33 in favor of congress fixing a minimum guarantee of price of not less than $2 per bushel for wheat, readjusting an amendment by Senator Norris of Nebraska, to strike out a $2 price proposal and to leave the 00 AS PRICE OF WHEAT price fixing to the food administra- tion only.

The draft played some queer pranks in North Dakota yesterday. {n num- erous instances brothers whose num- bers ran in sequence were drafted on numbers drawn at wide intervals. Cer- tain business establishments in Bis- marck particularly, seem to have been | Singled out -by the diety which pre- sided over the lottery for the deple- tion of their working forces. Three Tribune men were drawn: George Wahler, head of the newspaper book- keeping department: R. C. Corwin, foreman of the news composing room, and Otto Ayers, om the mechanical staff of the job department. Wahler and Ayres are single men, while Mr. Corwin is married and has a family. First National Hit. ‘The First National bank yesterday saw three of its men drafted, and it already had lost two by enlistment. Those drawn yesterday are 1). A. Bas- kerville, Frank A. Johnson and Arthur Aaby.. George Little and Glenn Peck of ‘the First National force already had enlisted. One of the names ‘called early was that of Edward R.’ Proechel, manager of the Bismarck factory branch of the Fisk, Rubber company. It was re- ported yesterday that salesmen of the local branch also had been drafted, ‘but Manager Proechel states that their numbers were not drawn yester- day. " Businiess Men Taken. Among well ‘known business men whose numbers were drawn yesterday are Harry’J. Woodmansee, the sta- tioner; George V. Bowers, salesman for the Missouri Valley Motor Co.; Frank H. Geiermann of Brown & Geiermann; Frederick H. O. Friese, associated with his father in the Fourth street tailoring establishment; Paul Willman, transfer man; Charles Pappas, ‘one of the proprietors of the Broadway shoe shining parlors; D. Ferris Cordner:of the postofiice staff, who already: has: his commission as second lieutenant in Co. I; and A. J. Pelowski, former manager of the Bis- marck office of the North Dakota Inde- pendent Telephone (o., and now dis- trict accountant for that company, which recently gave its district man- ager, F. L. Shuman, to the service. Farmers Drawn. Arthur Leroy Small, Albert Burgois, Lloyd Leo Paris, Alexander H. Ash- bridge and David Trygg were mem- bers of prominent Bismarck families drawn yesterday. One of the early names drawn yes- terday was that of Lester Allen, son of G. B. Allen of the International ‘Harvester Co. The young man went into::the' Canadian northwest in the employ of the company, and there he attained his majority. When the draft call was issued, he asked advice of the nearest consul as to his status. No satisfactory information was forth- coming, and finally young Allen de- cided to establish his position as an American citizen by registering. Whether he is really eligible to serve is a question which probably will now come up for determination. Two Chinamen. Grand Forks and Stutsman counties share the honor of having registered two Chinamen drafted yesterday. Wong Hoy is a resident of Jamestown, and his lucky number was 550. Wong Poi, No. 1748, was Grand Forks’ con- tribution. One of Sioux county's drafted men is Peter Owns the Medicine, of Shields. Other Red Men selected in Sioux are Eneron Red Tomahawk, son of the slayer of Sitting Bull; William Elk and Teddy Crow. Ben Cloud of Bismarck, a veteran trooper of Indian blood, was also drawn. Many Germans. A notable feature in the slope is the number of names of German ex- traction drawn. In some localities practically. every number drafted to date is owned by a descendant of Ger- man parents. . Was Busy Place.

Washington, July 21.—With about ten million men listed in the order of their liability for service, the federal government today began its last task of preparations for organization of the selective army draft—the task of determining who among those listed shall be exempt. The “drawing to determine who shall be first liable for service ended early-today after it had been in prog- ress without interruption for more than 16 hours, and while the officials in charge rested from their long vigil others took up the tabulation of offi- cial figures for forwarding to local exemption boards over the’ country. Most of this work, it is hoped to com: ; plete before the day is over, so that, the local authorities can be sivep’ 4 their instructions early next week: May Appear in 10 Days. Within ten days the men who are subject to the president’s order for mobilization of the war quota of 087,- 000 may be appearing before their boards for examination for the deci- sion as to exemption. Twice 687/000 are to be summoned by the boards on the theory that two registrants must be examined for every soldier accept: ed, and the number each reg{stration district must furnish has been care- fully worked out. The provost marshal general's of- fice was greatly pleased over the outcome of the drawing, officials de- claring an accomplishment scarcely less ‘noteworthy than the successful registration carried out six weeks ago. Ten million men, they pointed out, have been assigned to places on the bai muster, role, within the states: in| eas than a day.and .ap- parently with oaly one minor.error ia) the ‘whole comp cated process, isle Error. The flugte’ error came to light near thz end of the drafting this morning, when a blank was found where there should have been a number, in one of the 10,500 capsules by which the war time fortunes of America’s youth were determined. It did not materi- ally interfere with the working out of the lottery, however, and all offi- cials agreed that. it could work no in- justice to any registrant. It meant. only a temporary complication, they said, and in no way impairs equality of the lottery. To Find Missing Number. What serial number should have been in the place of the blank has not ‘been determined today, but ft will ‘be found shortly by a careful recheck- ing of the list. Then it will be ag signed to the only place-open on the liability list—No. 10,500 at the very foot. FEecatse of its absence, there only are 10,499 places now, with hold- Jers of the serial numyers 3,217 in last place. Crowder Draws Last One. Gencral Crowder, the provost’ mar- shal general, replaced the blindfolded official at the bow! and himself drew out the last number. Scarcely had the historic event thus reached its close than the news of the last draw- ing had been flashed over the coun- try. The telegraphic feat of trans- mitting the 10,500 numbers as rap- idly as they were drawn was .pro- nounced by officials today as among the most notable features of the whole process. The Associated Press virtually cleared its wires of other matters and gave the right of way to the drawing, with the result that they were able to give to their read: ers promptly the numbers chosen in each local district. , With the close of the drawing, the great bulk of the business of making the new army ready for service will pass on to the state anc ‘cal authori- ties. They now must post the num- bers of the men first to be called from each district, must summon them for examination and Ister on must take up the sw vject of exemptions. It will be their duty in short to turn over to the federal government when the mobilization call comes in “(Continued on Page Four) (Continued or Page Three.) G
