Y., November 12.— President Wilson formally put the new machinery for carrying out the selec- tive draft bill into operation Satur- day with the publication of the fore- word he has written to the regula- tions under which the second call will be made. The regulations themselves and the questionaires, which more than 9,000,000 registrants will be re- auired to fill out, are being framed to local, but have not yet been made public. War department officials estimate that the whole procession be com- pleted within 60 days. This means that no second call will be made upon the draft forces before the middle of next February as the period of cl fication will not begin until Dec. 15 The president describes the new plan of dividing all registered men not al- ready mobilized, into five classes, sub- ject to military service by classes, as being intended to produce “a more POTATOES WASTED--A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF “EW! {be paid to the injured ,person.

S. Lewis of Fargo, for nearly \five years chairman of. the state board of control, Saturday afternoon tendered Governor Frazier his resig- nation, to-become_ effective Decem- ber 1. Lewis was first named chairman of the board under a two years’ ap- }pointment from Governor Hanna dur- jing the latter's first administration. When the board was reorganized un- der a new law in ‘1915, Lewis was nanied by Hanna for the six-year term. The present. administration during jthe last legislative session held this ; new appointment illegal, and contend- jed that Lewis’ term expired at the jend of the original two years’ ap- {pointment, July 1, 1917. After the seriate had remained dead- locked throughout the session on the {question of contirming Berndt Ander- son of Churchs Ferry as Lewis’ suc- cessor, Chairman Lewis appeared be- fore the upper house on the closing: j night and declared that rather than involve the state in more turmoil, he would resign, effective July 1, and asked the senate to confirm the gov- ernor's nomination, which was done.

KASHIO NOT JAPAN S BEST Inventory of Man Power. “The time has come for a more per- fect organization of our man power. The selective principle must be car- ried to its logical conclusion. We must make a complete inventory of the qualifications of all registrants in order to determine as to each man not already selected for duty with the colors, the place in the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the nation in which his experience and trafning can best be made to serve the common good. This project in- volves an inquiry by the selection boards into the’ domestic, industrial and educational qualifications of near- to search for persons who do not re- spond promptly and to serve the sum- mons of local and district boards, Newspapers can be of véry great as- sistance in giving wide publicity to the requirements of the law and regu- latiohs and to the number and num- bers of those who are called to pre- sent themselves to their local boards from day to day. Finally, I ask that during the time hereafter to be speci- fied as marking the 60 day period of the classification, all citizens give at- tention to the task in hand in order that the process may proceed to a conclusion with swiftness and yet with even and. considerate justice to all.” COMPCASATION FOR SOLDERS’ j= FAMILIES UNDER NEW STATE Shields’ Man Shoots Wite And Himself ~ EXPLAINED TO SNELLING WEN Fort Sneiling, Minn., Nov. 12.—Sol-, 847.50; with $5 for each additional diers at kort Snelling are hearing ex | child un to two: ' planations of the operation of the new} (d) If there be no widow, then for law governing war risk . insurance,| one child, $20.

The work was done without regard to per- sonal convenience and under a pres- sure of immediate necessity which imposed great sacrifices. Yet the services of men’ trained by the ex- perience of the first draft must of necessity be retained and the selec- tion boards must provide the direc ing mechanism for the new classifica. tion. The thing they have done is of scarcely one-tenth the magnitude of the thing that remains to be done. It is of great importance, both to our military and to our economic inter- ests that the classification be carried swiftly and accurately to a conclu- sion. An estimate of the time neces- sary for the work leads to the con- clusion that it can be accomplished in 60 days, but only if this great mar- shalling of our resources of men is regarded by all as a national war un- dertaking of such significance as to challenge the attention and compel the assistance of every American. All Must Assist. “I call upon all citizens, therefore, to assist local and district boards by proffering such service and such ma- terial conveniences as they can of fer and by appearing before the boards, either upon summons or upon their own initiative, to give such in- formation as will be useful in classify- ing registrants. I urge men of the legal profession to offer themselves as associate members of the legal ad- visory boards to be provided in each community for the purpose of advising registrants of their rights and obliga- tions and of assisting them in the preparation of their answers to the questions which all men subject to the draft are required to submit. I ask the doctors of the country to identify themselves with the medical advisory boards which are to be con- stituted. in the various districts throughout the United States for the purpose of making a systematic phy- ~ sical examination of the registrants.

It is the only printed form which any registrant needs to use, either in making claims or filing proof. At first sight, it may seem a little formidable, but a reading of the ques- tions shows that they are simple; enough for any person who can read and write understandingly to answer. Legal Profession Lined Up. “The president’s message lines up_ the whole legal profession of thej United States as assistants of tho selective service system and as im- partial advisors to registrants in fill- ing out their questionaires. Under the new regulations a place is to be provided convenient to every local freo advice and assistance in making out’ this document. The county judge} or other judicial officer of similar court is placed at the head of a com- mittee of lawyers in each vicinity,! and this. committee is charged with the duty of seeing that there are al- ways plenty of lawyers and other vol- unteers present to help registrants in filling out the questionaire. “Questionaires are to be mailed by the local board to live per cent of the registrants each day. The principal work of the legal advisory boards will thus be over in 20 days by which time all the questionaires should be return- ed to the boards. Every man has sev- en days in which to return his ques- tionaire fully made out. The process of classification will begin about Dec. 15. Eight days later the boards will begin the great process of classifica- tion which becomes, in the words of] the president, ‘A national war under- taking of such significance as to chal-} lenge the attention and compel the) assistance of every American.’ General Call for Aid. “Not since the war began has an} opportunity been offered for practical-| ly every person to take an active and vigorous part in so important a war) measure as the actual raising of our} armies. The president’s foreword of- fers this opportunity. It gives a defl- note place for the doctors to work! in making the physical examination. For the first time it assigns every law- yer to active duty in building up the national army.

The double tragedy was promptly reported by neighbors. Dr. W. R Shortridge was summoned from Flash- er, and tne victims were removed to his private hospital, where it was found that Mrs. Myers’ wound was comparatively harmless, the bullet having entered her right cheek and lodged behind her right eye, not touching the brain. ‘Myers, however. carried the ball in his brain, and he has remained unconscious, with symp- toms of cerebraal hemorrhage and the probability that apoplexy will set tle in. Dr. W. R.

An Unhappy Union. Meyrs is 24 and his wife 21. Thon union has not been a happy one, and Myers, who spent much of his time at Shields, is alleged to have talked freely of his martial troubles. Fri- day he spent the dav in Shields. talk ing of his plans to end everything, and anauy sougat out a hardware sore and demanded a eun. Knowing the man he was dealing with, the mer- chant refused to sei him a revolver. But at Raleigh, the would-be mu-dez er was more successful. Before at- tempting the double murder, Myers wrote letters to his mother and in- timate friends which presumably give the reasons for his crimes. These letters are sealed, and will be turn- ed over to the Grant county authori- ies, who have been notified. The couple have an eighteen-months-old son who is at the hospital here with his mother. Myers probably will be moved Monday to Bismarck for an X-ray examination, should he survive over Sunday. . BIDS WANTED.

The turf courts of the East and, the asphalt courts which are prevalent on the Pacific Coast got Kashio’s goat. Another thing that bothered him was the fact that the ball used in this country has a hard, firm surface, while in Japan a softer ball is. used by the players, and clay courts are the only . kind built. Kashto’s playing interested the spec- tators nt Forest Hills because of the tamina he showed. He fs of very | slight ‘build, and doesn't look capable of standing the pace set by some of the strong-limbed young Americans whom he met, but he quits the courts after a hard match in much better shape than his opponents, for he is a typical Japanese athlete and keeps in shape all the time.
