Regular May Term Of
District Court Monday
John Watson Given Citizenship Before
Judge Hanley Monday-No Other
Cases up at this Term

The regular May term of district
court for Sioux county was held at
the court house at Fort Yates Mon.
day. Judge Hanley of Mandan,
presided. The only business before
the Court was the naturalization an
plication Of John Watson, who re-
sides north of Watauga, in Sioux
county. After hearing his two wit
nesses, Giles 7. Brown and w. H.
Geffert, Mr.. Watson was granted
citizenship.
Mr.. Watson was British sub.
iect, but has been a. resident of the
United States for many years. He
is about to make final proof on the
claim on which he resides and proof
of citizenship is required.
No other business of any nature
came before the court and there are
no further citizenship applications
pending. Since the county was Or
ganized less than six or seven an
plications for citizenship has come
before the court, and it is likely
that Sioux county has the largest
number of natural born citizens Of
any county in the state.
The next term Of district court
will be held in October or Novem-
Der. The date will be set by the

Socialists Trying Hard
To Defeat Registration
Eleven Indictments Returned by Federal
Grand Jury in Texas-Warning to
All Ant;.Draft Agitators

Washington, May 30. - Attorney
General Gregory says the arrests al
ready made should be accepted by
the country generally as warning
against interfering with the enforce
ment of the provisions of the new
army law.
"They merely demonstrate what the
department of justice proposes to dc
in every case where attempts are made
to hinder or discourage registration u
he said.
Twenty years Imprisonment and
$4,000 fine is provided as a penalty
in section of the espionage bill.
German influences to encourage re.
sistance to army registration and the
selective draft, uncovered in Texas by
q federal grand jury, already have
resulted in eleven indictments. Other
arrests on the same charge in various
cities apparently are not so closely
linked with German influence, but are
being investigated.
In the Texas case, according to an
official announcement by the depart.
ment Of justice, an organization was
formed some time ago ostensibly for
the purpose Of cooperative buying. Its
members were required to take Sc,
cret oath and soon after the enact.
ment Of the army draft law, the Off.
cial announcement says, "a strong
German influence succeeded III induc.
ing the organization to turn its efforts
to combating conscription."
In some Western cities there are
evidences Of an effort afoot to defeat
the registration, but the department
of justice, it was officially announced,
is fully prepared to deal with the
pending espionage bill,

The indications are that the stagna

ADVICE OF FEDERAL OFFICER
ciaxton Urges Boys Stay In High
School to Do "elt" at Home,

Washington, May 30.-Declaring
that trained men and women will be
needed during the war just as much
as fighting men, P. P. Claxton, United
States commissioner of education,
urged all high school pupils to remain
In school next fall.
"1f the war should be long," said
DR.. Claxton, "the country will need
all the trained men and women it can
get-many more than it now has.
There will be men in abundance to
fight in the trenches, but there will
be dearth of officers, engineers, and
men of scientific knowledge and skill
In all the industries, in transporta-
tion, and many other places where
skill and daring are just as necessary
for success as in the trenches"
