^K^^Peace Resolution Passed J»y Retdbainc*

T Amsterdam, July 20.-r-The Berlin •Tagcblatt says the committee of . the majority; parties In-the German reich­stag have - unanimously decided , to ntovp the peace resolution. Prevlous-ly the committee was divided, two members of the Center and one Lib­eral- disagreeing wjth the majority.

i.The; resolution which was 'adopted, 214 to 116, is as follows- .•

^ 'Aa on Aug. 4, 1,914, so on the threshold of the fourth year of the war, the German people stand upon the assurance of the-speech'-frpm the throne—"We are driven by no lust of conquest" :

; cal, economic, and financial viola­tions are incompatible with such a peace. •

The- reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economic blockade and the stinging : up of 'enmity : amdttg the peoples after the war. The freedom.' of the' seas must be assured. Onljr aii^ economic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association with the / peo-ples. .'y.r-'- ' • ' V

WILLIAMS AND COULTER BOUND

TO GRAND JURY Complaining Witness Ap­peared on Stand Today for

Cross Examination.

Shortly before noon today, Engene Coralter and Paul Wil­liams were bound over the action of the grand Jury on the charge of first- degree rape. They were committed to the county Jail. V

Crookston, Minn., July 20.—The case of the state against Paul Wil­liams and Eugene Coulter, of Grand Forks, charged with first degree rape, was postponed at 11 o'clock this morning, after the cross-examination of Miss Adalalde Chapman of Larl-more, plaintiff, to await the arriyal of Dr. S. H. Irwin of Grand Forks, to tesr tify for the state.

Miss Chapman was accompanied to Crookston this morning by Mrs. G. A. Mowris," Mrs. A. J. LaBine, Edgar L. IMchter and George A. Lamoure of Larimore.

The plaintiff took the stand at 10:15 o'clock, and Attorney W. E. Rowe of Crookston, plaintiff for Coulter, began cross-examination.

The Cross Examination. Attorney Ro\ye queried her regard­

ing her past life up to the time the alleged,,crime was , committed. He asl^pd her to .1^11 .the. -various places s)ve"ha4 'worked, and .queried her re-gardlng their respecjtiblllty.-.

I Comlng tO tlle,assault, he asked her • to ,t(91 the>-.Qour:t' how eath 'of =:the de- r-fendar^ ^d,^ld^ftetf'when''8he was aseaulied,.^' 8h'0 filled to remember, but'declared that she had been held. Repeated objections were made by the attorney for the 'plaintiff, with very little satisfaction.

"When you came to Grand Forks you were pregnant, were you not," asked Attorney Rowe.

"I don't know what you mean," re­plied* the plaintiff.

"What! How old are you?" "23." "You are 28 years old and don't

know what pregnant means?" "Yes. sir." "Well, do you know what 'in the

family way means?" ''I have heard of it." Well, were you not In the family

way when you cam.e to Grand Forks?" 'I certainly was not." 'Do you mean to say. Miss Chap­

man, that you have never been in­timate with othnr men?" . ; •

"I do." Attorney Rowe then attempted to

show that Miss Chapman has sub­mitted to the wishes of the defendants without a struggle.

State Takes Charge. The state, represented by Attorney

G. A. Youngquist of Crookston, then took the witness. . "Miss Chapman, where have you

spent the past 10 dayp since you were here last_?" ? • 1 '

"In the hospital." : ' "Have you been talking with any

one since you were last here?" "NO." The state then rested. ; / \i

- Coulter and Williams were in the' court room during the cross examina­tion this morning. Coulter .appeared worried over the case, and paid little attention to the testimony. On the other iiand, William's eyes were oh the- witness, and he smiled a , number of/times at statements made by the plaintiff. ,

'Attorney T. N. Elton of Grand Forks is also here today aiding the prosecution. .

Irwin Takes Stand. Dr. Irwin arrived at the court

house at 11:30 o'clock, and Immedi­ately took the stand. Attorney Young­quist : examined the witness as to the condition of the girl. In his testi­mony, Ijr. Irwin declared that Miss Chapman had neiver been pregnant, and': that her health had. been in a se­rious condition since the night of the assault.- • Attorney Ro-pre objected to the evidence, and a hot argument be­tween the two-attorneys began, which nearly ended in a'quarrel.

Thef1 case was adjourned after the testimony Of Dr. Irwin, but notwith­standing. Attorney ' Rowe called. Ed-rgar L. Richter to the' (stand* " 'Richter was sworn in, and then demanded that he! be released as the court hall ad-, Journed. It was explained that he qould not be released after being sworn in. /L /

Attorney Rowe asked htm if he had not made the' statement that lynching would be too good 'for the defendants, and that'40 carloads of men would come to Crbokston to "care- for" the men; / - He was also- asked If he-had not pointed out; a certain' telegraph pAe on the'trip,! decfering that it would be a good place ot "string them up." ' ' Richter -denied all-the' allej;atioos.

Washington, July 20.—This Is the day of the nation's selection from among its sons to fill up the ranks of the armies of democracy.

Who shall go first among the ten millions registered for service is to be determined by chance in a care­fully devised lottery, and ;before the day is ended the federal government will have converted Its registration list into a muster roll with every reg­istrant set down In the exact order of his liability to call.

The drawing of lots is the climax of the nation's effort to .build up a great military force on the principle of universal service. After the mus­ter foil is made only the simpler tasks of examination and exemption, mo­bilization and training will remain. For this work long established rules can be followed, but in the step taken heretofore the government has been forqed to make a way of its own.

687,000 Already in Service. Already President Wilson has

formally ordered to the colors 687,000 . of the men from whom lots are drawn

D. j today. and most of them will be in 'training by mid-semester at 16 can­tonments under construction through­out the country. To provide that many physically fit and without any encumbrance calling for exemption the war department will summon for ex­amination the 1,374,000- who. are found after the drawing to stand at the head of the muster roll. If more are needed to provide a net quota of 687,000 soldiers who stand next in order will be summoned. So that the choice will pass on down the line when future increments are ordered to the colors by the President.

Military men estimate that every other man summoned will he exempt­ed and on that basis the 10,500 num­bers whose order of liability is to be determined today should yield close to 6,000,000 soldiers before the roll is exhausted.

First to Regular Army. " The. first of the 687,000 men to be actually called - Into service—those standing at the very top of the lia­bility list—will go to fill the . ranks of the regular army to war strength. Something like forty thousand will be needed for that, and they may be called before September. Then a large number next in order probably will be assigned to fill the national guards to war strength and-the re­mainder—about 500,000—will be' re­served as the nation's need demands.

Every precaution was taken to make the 'drawing today 'absolutely fair to every; one of the registrants. An elaborate scheme . worked, in weeks of study to sav« time and labor and the entire process into an hour was abandoned last*" night when it was discovered that registration boards In some sectiohs had.misun­derstood Instructions .'for numbering local registration cards, making some Inequality possible. ' Officials in the provost marshall general 'officer de­clared' todit that 'the change to a simpler but more laborous plan let no possibility of inequality or fraud. Although 9:80 a. m. was set for be­ginning the drawing it -may be late tonight before it is -finished. Under the plan adopted .10,600,000 numbers must be drawn at a time. In a speed contest recently, nearly fifty a min­ute, were drawn and recorded, hut it Is regarded as doubtful whether that could be kept,up for long periods to-' •gether.:'; :• ; V . • The -10,500 numbers to be J'aWrtCtn rangefrpml to 19,500. The order in which they are drawn -determines fee order in ifrhich • the men :and - corres­ponding sertal -numbers -oh their cards In the local district «U1 be liable for MfrtttL

COUNTY QUOTA IS FURTHER REDUCED

Grand Forks District Must Furnish 229 Men to < v

New Army. i > j

Nick Julius Nelson of Meklnock Is the first Grand Forks county man who will be called before the draft board,^ to be examined for service in the new national army.

Mr. Nelson's number, 268, was the '• first to be drawn from the revolving bowl of the lottery at Washington.' 4

Mr. Nelson could riot be reached this morning but relatives of his state that he is unmarried, and has no family dependent on him. \ fJ

First Local Man. " i % * The second number drawn was

2522, that of Sigurd O. Bye, 611 Oak ! street. Grand Forks. Mr." Bye stated this morning that he would claim ex­emption on the ground that he has :a wife and three children dependent; on him for support.

Joseph Dahl, Manvel, No. 458; Clif­ford Olson, Larimore, 2664; and Tom Howe, Nprthwood,. 864, were the third, fourth and fifth Grand Forks county men to be drawn for examination.

Leo Morgan, employed by Swift A Co., of. Grand Forks, was sixth. H}a number is 1894. Mr. Morgan stated that he would claim exemption on the ground that he has a wife and two children dependent on him for sup- , port.

Frank John 'Konsella, 121 North Fifth street, employed by Armouf & Co.,'was'drawn seventh-

He could not be reached this morn-. lng, but as he is understood to be un­married, It is thought probable that he will be the first man from this city to be actually drafted into the federal service providing he'passes the physio-al examination. Yr

Quota is Reduced. , _ Word "received from BisnuurCk this

morning was to the effect that a forth- : er reduction of 38 for federal enlist- : ments must be made in the net quota of men from Grand Ferks county to be .called for the draft army;

This will mean that the county must furnish 229 men for this purpose, the gross quota being 888, and, the credits for enlistment in the state and federal forces 104.

This will mean that 458 men will be called tor examination In the conn-ty Mr the first quota as the govern-, memt suggests that at least bait of tho#evcalled will probably he euinpt-jiMlVtor various* reasons. ^
