element of army and navy actions
nearer home, the British public seems
to have overlooked the important sue

Britain sway over part Of the an

With the capture of Basra and the

come masters Of the Persian Gulf and

HAS GERMANY A PLAN
TO ATTACK AMERICA?
IF ALLIES ARE DEFEATED WILL
THE KAISER ATTEMPT TO IN
WADE THIS COUNTRY?

Is 1t true that Germany has a care
fully worked out plan of attack on
the United States to be put into effect
if she is victorious over the allies? asks
correspondent of the New York
Press.
At the outbreak of the war it was
announced that German book called
Operation Upon the Sea-" written by
Freiherr Won Edelsheim, former
member of the German general staff,
had been suppressed in Germany be-
cause it contained campaign Of at
tacks and invasion of the United
States. Count Won Bernstorff was
quoted as declaring that s UGH book
never existed.
But now there has been issued by
the Outdoor Press of New York what
pUrports to be translation of this
volume, which is described in the pub
lisher's foreword as "semi-official' in
nature, to characterize it mildly" and
which contains, besides theoretical
campaign against England, an amazing
plan of attack on the United States.
Briefly the German invasion would
consist Of the whisking across seas of
gigantic transort feet under convoy
of the German navy, the landing on
American soil, beating back what fee
Bile resistance would be met from our
regular volunteers, and the occupation
of rich coast cities.
The book states plainly that no con-
quest of the interior would be UNDER
taken, as the territory is too vast, but
that the HHduCIdl DICK OF the NATION
would be broken by the capture of the
great cities near the coast and that
with these lost the American govern
ment would be reduced to submission.
Our chief factor of defense, our fleet,
the Germans would count on overcom-
ing with their own battle craft, since
the invasion would be made unexpect-
eddy, when the units OF the United
States squadrons were scattered over
wide water and could be cut off and
sunk before there was a change to
reassemble as a general defense unit.
The plan shows an intimate knowledge
of the fighting strength of the United
States regular army and militia.

ALASKA MEASURE WINS
SENATE BILL GIVES PRESIDENT
POWER TO BUILD ROAD.
VIII Use Panama Machinery-Wllson
is Given Broad Power In
Premises.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The senate
on Saturday passed the Alaska rail
way bill directing the president to
railroad In Alaska at a cost not ex
ceeding $4,000, 900. The house has a
similar bill pending. The vote was
46 to 16.
Fifteen Republicans and Senator
P~oindexter. Progressive, voted for the
bill. Senator Bacon, Hoke Smith and
Williams, Democrats, voted against It.
The bill places upon the president
responsibility for the selection Of he
route from tidewater TO the interior Of
Alaska and the construction, equip
mant and operation or leasing Of such
lines as he may construct or buy to
constitute this route. The broadcast
powers are conferred upon the presi.
dent in carrying out his duties.
The bill provides for a redemption
fund into which shall be paid rs per
cent. of all moneys derived from the
sale of public lands in Alaska, or OF
the coal or mineral contents thereof
Machinery utilized in the construction
Of the Panama canal is made available
for the construction work.
Unavailing efforts to reduce the S40,-
100000 appropriation authorized for
the work were made during the clos
ing hours Of the debate. Senator Hoke
Smith sought to have the appropria-
tioin reduced to $25, 900, 900 and Sena-
tor Smoot to $35, 200, 900.

RULING RENDERED BY ATTORNEY

PLACED ON BALLOT.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-Attorney General Johnson,
at request of State Secretary Glass
ner, has filed with him the following
opinion in regard to the recent suit
begun by Frank McNulty, minority
candidate for congress in the Second
district, on the announced refusal 81
the secretary to place the name Vi
McNuIty on the primary ballot:
In accordance with your request,
and as the law requires the attorney
general to act as your advisor IN OF
fetal matters, I nave to say that IN
my opinion you have no laW1ul rlshI
to refuse to place the name OF Judge
McNulty upon he ballot for the prlm-
airy election, and that your position is
legally ~indefensible. You should at
once withdraw hat refusal md, In
obedience to the law, place Mr.. NC
Nulty's name upon the ballots and
thereby put an end to this proceeding,
saving the time of the court n the
expense to the state.
If it was the intention to at this
time and in this way test the ques-
ton of the eligibility of Judge Nc
Nulty to hold office of representative
to congress from this state, you al
ready have the decision of u SUI
preme court hat this could not be
done in this proceeding, as that court
has already said that neither the pub
lie officers nor the court have any
right to question or determine, the
right of a political organization to
nominate an ineligible candidate foi
No. o.. - do ~ and IN V
attempt to present the question or the
eligibility of Judge McNulty to the
court at this time would merely pre-
sem a moot question for the courts
consideration. If there is any other
reason for your refusal, the record
fails to disclose 1t.

County Seat Contests.

Pierre.-The first rumors OF county
seat contests for this year come from
Gregory and Stanley counties, wher
the movement is already under way
with possibilities in Perkins and Ly-
man counties ready for development
at any time. The Gregory county con-
test is a long drawn out one, which
has been under way at every oppor-
tunity since that county extended It's
boundaries. Gregory and Burke ap-
pear % have been the leading towns
so far in contests, but neither could
secure a majority Of all, with a half
dozen towns in the race each time.
1t is hoped that the act OF the 1911
legislature, which was approved by
the people at the election OF 1917,
will settle the issue through elimina-
ton of the towns with a small vote
in the preliminary tests provided for
in that act. The Stanley county con-
test is one which has in the past been
uncertain, on account of the desires
OF Milesville in the northwest, Kadoka
in the southwest, both standing in op-
position to Philip, the leading town
of the western part of the county, In
it's efforts to wrest honors from Fort
Pierre.
