BABY SHORTAGE
OFFICIAL DECLARES DRAFT
CAUSES MANY WOMEN TO
FEAR MOTHERHOOD.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 16
Americas baby crop is threatened by
the war.
The threat is genuine said an
official today. The situation is crit
ical and extremely delicate"
Whispers daily come TO the gov
eminent ears from young married
men indicating that the attitude of
thousands of the nations young
women will make the birth returns
extremely short so long as the threat
of CONSUMPTION is held over the heads
of their husbands.
These young women are badly
frightened" continued the official.
They dread the prospect of being
left to face the world with a babe i'm
arms"
Reports show that the fear is not
confined TO families of men between
the draftable ages of 2l and 81. but
reaches back TO married girls of Is
and forward TO married women of 80
whose husbands will be called if
the war endures long.

DAKOTANS Held
PROSPEROUS GERMAN FARMERS
ARE ACCUSED or VIOLATION
OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT.

Trip. Aug. 16.-Charged with a
violation of the espionage act and i'm
reference with the military opera
lions of the United States. IA farm
ers near Trip, most Of them we'll to
do, were placed under arrest today
by United States Marshal Thomas
Taubman, of Sioux Falls. and taken
to Yankton for a preliminary hearing
before Commissioner +. +. White.
The complaint under which the
men were arrested charges them with
an interference with the military and
naval operations OF the nation. with
an attempt TO cause i~nsnbordina-
ton. disloyalty. mutiny and refusal
of duty in the military and naval
forces of the United States" and
structed and attempted TO obstruct
the enlistment OF men.
The complaint Is based on a petit
tion sent by Is farmers to the Hutch
inson county officials at Olivet. the
county seat. The petition was sent
August &, shortly after the apportion-
ment of the draft quota to be drawn
from this district on the first call,
The signers were Gottlieb Galster, III.
A. Schmidt, August j. Herr. Christ
Herr. A. j. Stobner, Gottlieb I'll. Frey,
Gottlieb II. PITT. Ludwig Pippus,
Adolph Herr, Henry ID. ~Schnable,
Fred Helm, August Frederick, Jacob
Stoebner. Andres Stoebner and Adam
Pietz.
With the exception of Jacob Stoeb-
ner. Andres Stoebner and Adam
Pietz, all the men were arrested and
taken to Yankton.
The petition alleges that the draft
law was forced upon the people with
out their will or without a %referen-
dunn and that 90 per cen of the peo-
pie are against it. The petitioners
made three demands That the coun-
ty officials insist that the draft law
be submitted to n referendum vote
that the county repudiate all war
debts. and that the number drafted
from the counties be reapportioned,
Unless the county officials complied
with the demands OF the petitioners
they were threatened with defeat al
the next election. The demand that
the draft quota be apportioned was
based on the fact that 116 men were
ordered from Hutchinson county on
the first call and Dawson and Min
nehaha counties escaped the draft
cali. This the farmers attributed ia
the political interference of the Sioux
Falls and Mitchell dailies. There
were only a few enlistments from
Hutchinson county, but the accused
men ignored this.

cash register in the store were left
untouched.
Apparently the thieves We're pre-
pared for the robbery. The loot
weighed several hundred pounds and
was bulky. According to Mr.. Pre-
dasky. it probably required two or
three vehicles to carry it away. No
strangers had been seen in town on
the night before
Predasky believed it possible that
the robbers are from Sioux CITY or
Omaha, and that they conceived it
possible TO bring the stock to a large
city, where it could be placed on sale
without suspicion. Upon this thought
he was prompted to notify the Sioux
City police.
Omaha also was notified of the
theft, as we'll as the town and coun-
ty authorities. Up to last night no
clew had been found that might lead
to the recovery Of the stolen goods.

CHARLES ZIMMERMAN, OF Me
COOK COUNTY. IL VICTIM
Oh BONE DRY LAW.

Sioux Falls. Aug. 16.-Under the
state bone dry liquor law ii does not
pay to even give a man his "
whisky. If you don't believe IL. just
ask Charles Zimmerman. a farmer in
McCook county, ear Salem.
Last June William Zimmerman.
father of Charles. came to Sioux
Falls, and. anticipating the long dry
spell that was TO begin the first of
July, purchased a large quantity OF
whisky. on taking il home. there
was a dispute between father and son
regarding the disposition of the
booze. The father insisted on keep
ing it on the place. while the son OBJ
iected. Finally an understanding
was reached, whereby the liquor was
to be turned yer to the son, who was
to hide it and deal out a bottle at a
time. as the son thought his father
should have il. A few days ago the
father asked for and received a quart
bottle of it. He went to Salem, got
drunk and was arrested. He finally
divulged to the officers the facts
stated above. Armed with this i'm
formation. the officials visited the
Zimmerman farm and finally induced
the son to conduct them to a corn
field. where So quarts OF whisky was
found buried two feet under ground.
The booze was seized and taken to
town and the younger Zimmerman
was arrested for giving his father
the liquor.
This morning he was brought TO
the city by Sheriff Lew Sessler. ac-
companied by States Attorney r.. III.
Wilson. of McCook county, and taken
before Judge Fleeger. Zimmerman
pleaded guilty TO giving the liquor to
his father. lie was sentenced TO pay
a fine of $3.50 and TO serve 80 days
in Jail. The fine was paid, but the
Jail sentence VAS suspended.
Judge Fleeger also ordered the so
bottles of whisky destroyed.

of the district exemption board. said
that the board had completed its line
of rulings and regulations and would
take up the work of passing upon ex-
emptions and would put i'm full time
until the work is completed The
board desires all local boards to Ger

is reported that some of the county
boards are passing every claim for

and side stepping any responsibility
for themselves.

Pierre-Fort Pierre is preparing
to carry out the centennial celebra-
ton of the location of the first white
settlement at that point at the same
time as for the county fair this fall.
AS a celebration of the first perma-
nent location OF white men in South
Dakota. the event Is expected to draw
representatives from many sections
OF the state.
Clark-Jans Jensen. a native OF
Schleswig-Holstein, once a part OF
Denmark. but now a German pro-
vince, who has long been a respected
farmer of Clark county, has three
brothers serving with the German
army in Europe. and his son has just
joined Troop III, the Clark cavalry
troop, who expects ultimately to be
SEN to Europe to oppose the armies
in which his uncles are serving.
Fairfax-Gov. Norbeck will be the
chief speaker at the first annual
Homecoming week, which will open
i'm Fairfax on August Il. Prepare
tons rapidly are being completed for
the event. Invitations have been
sent to about 1000 former residents
of Fairfax asking them to be present
during the week and participate in
the festivities. and it is expected most
of them will accept. Baseball games
and other sporting events have been
provided for the entertainment of the
crowds.
Pierre-Chairman Anderson, OF
the state council of defense, received
a telegram from Washington an
nouncing that the proposed exhibit
by the wal department which vas to
be put on at the state fair will be
dropped as the department cannot
take the time required to place and
handle such an exhibit. This work
was to be done in connection with
the efforts of the state council of de
Tense, and the decision of the war
department requires a change in the
plans of the organization.
Hudson-Miss Amanda Clement,
Hudson girl. who a few years ago
gained a wide reputation throughout
the northwest as a baseball umpire,
who now is physical instructress AT
the University of Wyoming, at Lara
mic, is making a visit to her mother

LITTLE BEND
ENGINEER ESTIMATES POWER
SITE COST AT TWENTY
MILLIONS.

Pierre, Aug. lev. II. Finley,
chief engineer of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company, has
been investigating the possibilities of
a power site at Little Bend. on the
Missouri river. and says of the prof.
ect that the 6physical features are
adapted to the construction of water
power by means of a diversion dam
and canal, of approximately 40 feet
head. The minimum flow of the
Missouri at Little Bend is approx
mately 10000 second feet. The APP
proximate cost of a hydro-electric
development at Little Bend upon a
safe and permanent basis would be,
in my judgment, at least twenty
million dollars"

GERMANS RESTRICTED
MUST NOT APPEAR ON CERTAIN
STREETS IN SIOUX FALLS.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 16.-Sioux Falls
has its barred zone to Germans, ac-
cording to a statement made by
United States District Attorney r.. y.
Stewart, late yesterday. All unnat-
uralized Germans, including even
those who have taken out their first
papers, are prohibited from going up
on Phillips avenu between Eighth
street and Twelfth street. They are
also prohibited from going to the IL
linois Central, Rock Island. Great
Northern and Omaha depots, TO Sher-
man park and several other points in
the city.
They must keep a half mile away
from all mobilization camps.
b company Of the infantry has its
camp on the East Side athletic park
and a half mile area from there
would include. i'm addition TO the
above named places, a territory eX-
tending east to the deaf mute school,
south to Seventeenth street and
north TO Fourth street. In this RAJ
dius are many OF the large industrial
houses of the city and apparently it
will be unsafe for an unnaturalized
German to be in the city of Sioux
Falls. without a permit. The troops
of cavalry are encamped at sherman
park and a half mile area from there
would cover the entire park extend
ing to the eastern border of ii. The
armory on South Main avenu has
been closed and therefore this ruling
does not cover the territory which
would have been included when it
was i'm the use of the federal forces.
The statement made by the attor-
ney follows:
1T will be necessary for any I'M
naturalized German, which includes
those who have taken out their first
papers, to secure a permit from the
United States marshal before going
on any errand or for any purpose
within a half mile of any place which
is being used for mobilization pur-
poses by the federal forces.
This announcement is made to
clear UP any misunderstanding as to
whether or not mobilization points or
buildings used for that purpose were
within the presidents proclamation
of April 6. This means hat any
alien German. violating the provis-
ions of the proclamation in the above
respect. will be Immediately appre-
hended and his presence within the
half mile area will be sufficient cause
for his internment during the period
of the war. This rule will be enforc-
ed throughout the state. The per-
mits may be secured from the United
States marshal at the federal build
ing upon recommendation of the
United States attorneys office after
an investigation has been made in
each place and applicants vouched
for"
Several hundred unnaturalized
Germans reside i'm the city and these
people will have to secure permits
from the United States marshal at
the federal building If they wish to
enter any prohibited district.
