Trains and Nails Were Late.

For the past week the train : r.
vice on the Milwaukee has been bad
ly crippled. There were no trains
from Calmar last week from We'd
nesday morning until Saturday af-
ternoon. The main line trains were
showed in, and the traffic in all di-
rections was paralized. The Rock
Island did very we'll in getting their
trains through and were running
nearly on schedule, with the eXcep-
ton of day or so. Not in years has
the weather been as cold and the
railroads had as much trouble as
this winter. The line to Minneapo-
lis was blocked from Saturday night
until yesterday. Passengers who left
DEBORAH Saturday did not arrive il
the Twin Cities until last evening.
The rural route carriers out of
DEBORAH have had their share of
troubles, and it took two days to
make the round trip on some of The
routes.
The picture shows in DEBORAH
were put out of commission Monday
as their films did not arrive.

CLOSE WATCH ORDERED
FOR, ANTI-DRAFT TALKS
Attorney General Directs Arrest Of
All Agitators Against
Registration.

Watch is to be kept on all meetings
in any part Of the United States at
which there is likely to be agitation
against registration under the war
army law. The Attorney General has
directed the United States attorneys
and marshals to be present and take
stenographic reports Of speeches. They
are to be prepared to arrest speakers
who urge violation Of the law.
The influences are regarded as local
and sporadic that are behind efforts
in many communities to discourage
registration. The Department of Jus
tice is satisfied. however. that the in
f1uence and money Is of German origin.
Attorney General Gregory's announce
ment follows:
The Department of Justice today
communicated instructions by tele-
graph or long-distance telephone to
its officers and agents in communities
wherever meetings are likely to be
tration as prescribed in the new army
bill might be indulged in. The United
States attorneys and marshals were
directed to be present or represented
graphic reports made of the addresses
delivered.
These reports will be gone over care
fully and arrests will be made later in
all instances in which the utterances
of the speakers are calculated to dis
courage registration or to influence in
dividuals into attempting to evade the
provisions of the law.
THE United States attorneys and
marshals were also directed to ask
close cooperation of the local police
authorities in each community
Prom the reports being made daily
by the agents throughout the country,
officials of the department are con-
vinced that such threats to resist regis
tration as are being made are the re-
suit of local and sporadic influences and
are not inspired by any organized effort
of serious consequence"
