ST. PAUL Aug. 9.-Dr. Fritz Der meer, president of the St. Paul Nolk Zeitung, one of the most powerful and widely circulated newspapers of the middle west, printed in the Ger man language was today placed un- der arrest by United States secret service men on order of President Wilson
 In authorizing the arrest of this prominent German-American, Presi dent Wilson made a statement de claring that the general policy of the St. Paul Volks Zeitung has been to east aspersions by innuendo upon the government and to belittle all American war measures in a more or less open manner
 Dr. Bergmeer was placed in jail without bail, pending further orders from the President This is the first step taken by President Wilson to suppress disloyal utterances ap- bearing in the German press of the country. At the outset of the war nearly all of these journals ceased championing the kaisers cause, but lately they have resumed the Ger man propaganda.
 The President has indicated that newspapers printed in the German language in this country must reflect American sentiment if they wish to continue to circulate during the war
 Recently there has been an agita- tion to suppress these journals, for mer President Roosevelt being one of the chief opponents of the Ger man press in America.

Just how serious conditions in regard to the flood really are remains to be seen.
 The Camp at Twentymile is com pletely washed away as the result of the flood. It included cabins con structed by the Engineering Commia- sion and also by A. B. Funk X Co.,. a contracting firm Only meager information is obtainable regarding the damage done by the flood at Twenty-mile, but it is believed that the occupants of the cabins were able to save all of their supplies and personal effects.
 Several miles south of here where a trestle across Lost slough connects the track already constructed with the grade on the other side of the slough, the river is fully the times it's usual width. The current seems to be flowing altogether through Lost slough. the river is fully ten times continues to do so will eventually have the effect of washing out large part of the thirteen miles Of grade lying south from the station
