THREE MANDAN YOUNG WEN TO SNELLING Candidates for Officers’ Training Camp Accepted from This City Three local young men were ac- cepted as candidates for commissions in the national army to enter training at Fort Snelling, Minn., on August 27. They were: Walter C. Tostevin of the ‘Mandan Pioneer, Kalph W. Kel- ler of the Mandan News, and Frank W. Snyder, at present.on the postal force in Bismarck. Snyder and Tos- tevin took their examinations for ad- mittance to the camp at Hismarck and Keller was examined in lowa, where he had been attending college. It is understood that both Snyder and Tostevin will accept the candidacy for commissions, but Keller leaves shortly for the south, where he will go into army Y. M. C. A. work. dn the first series of officers’ train- ing camps, which ended last week, two men well known locally were suc- cessful in gaining commissions. They were George H. Russ, Jr., of Bis- marck and Attorney Robert Neely of Flasher and Carson, both of whom were made captains. ‘Robin Seitz, formerly .of this city, but of late years employed¢in Mon- tana, will enter the training camp for reserve officers at a fort in San Fran- cisco, The men who go into this camp are required to report for duty August 27. Their course is said to be an_unusual- ly stiff one and those who gain com- missions do so solely on their own! merit as workers and soldiers. Con- sidering the large number of appli- cants for berths in. this series of camps, Mandan is more fortunate than the average city of the size in being able to place three men. ee PRACTICALLY CERTAIN THAT SCHOOLS WILL KOT UPEN UNTIL OCTOBER J saa | Work on High School and Other Reasons Will Cause Month’s Delay That the public schools. will not open until October 1 is now practi- cally certain. Jt was understood that they were to open September 3, but what with the number of boys work- ing out this summer, the uncertainty of the new building being ready, and the fair coming right in the middle of the first month, it is almost cer tain the opening will be postponed a month. ‘ It seems, too, that the war is chang- ing the plans of a number of teach. ers and there may be some slight trou: ble in filling the ranks of teachers. There are at present two vacancies. The one has existed for some time and the other occurred the first of this week, when Miss Mabel Howard resigned as teacher of the first grade in the central schools. She is spend- ing the summer. at her home in Sher- burne, Minn. - Work is progressing rather on the addition to the central school, but when completed it will be a ubor- oughly modern structure. The fact that it will not be ready for use is the big argument in: the propesed post- ponement of the school opening. sndi- cations are that the war and the farms will take a large numbe of the high school boys. slowly RERMANS.

The. telegram* follows: “The Red Cross has urgent call from Major Grayson Murphy for enor- mous quantities of knitted, woolen ar- ticles.' Here is a cable gram from Major Murphy: “‘Last winter broke the record for cold and misery among people here.

TO BEGIN GRIND ON EXEMPTIONS Claims for Discharge on Grounds of Dependency Will’ Be Cohsidered Tomorrow. ISSUED THURSDAY ee | The Burleigh county exemption board u will begin today passing on ims for exemptions from regis- nts who have dependents. ‘The board today also will issue its call for 88 of registrants to re- port on three consecutive days, prob- wbly beginning next Monday. Inas- much as the first class of 200 netted the board about 50 per cent of its quota of cligibles, it is anticipated that the second call will be for the same number. Burleigh’s net quota ts 89, to which 10 per cent will be add- ed to allow for discharges at mo- hilization camps. ‘Burleigh will certify its first List of men accepted to the district board tomorrow. This list will contain about 56 names, of whom approximately 40 claim no exemptions and have been unconditionally accepted. ‘The number of claims for exemptions on the basis of dependents is not -large, and probably all of them will have been passed upon by the end of the week. No opposition of any kind has been encountered in this county to date, and the draft machinery is running smoothly, turning out a larger per- centage of acceptances than generally Was anticipated in view of the very large number of enlistments from this units quartered here—Co. A of the irst regiment and Co. I and the Headquarters company of the Sec- ond—and in various branches of the federal service since June. 30, on which date credits on the draft-quota for enlistments were terminated. Flipp Flivver; Guard House and Drumhead Court Martial Follow Sheriff John P. French has recov- ered his flivver and two guardsmen are in the guard house at Fort Lin- coln. Connecting‘ these two incidents is a joyride in which the soldier boys indulged surreptitiously when they found the Sheriff's Henry standing all alone and loney in front of the county ! building last Thursday night, while the sheriff was engaged with the county exemption board. Deputy Welch had just left the car and lock- ed it. When he found need for the machine ten minutes later it was missing. Monday the car was located near Braddock by F. 1. Hurley. It? had been abandoned by the joyriders, who were discovered through the ac. tivity of Major Wrighi, upon their réturn to Tismarék over‘ the South Soo. They face trial by courtmartial | at the fort, for being absent without leave, and ‘later will be turned over to the civil authorities to answer to Sheriff French for purloining his car.
