is one of the surest and best paying oper-

corn pays well. Tests show that properly

.SHERIFFS CLAIM THEIR
DISTRICTS ARE LOYAL
Conference Continues Until Today
For Discussion Of Other I'm
portant Problems,

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 16.-Nearly
100 men, sheriffs and their deputies
from practically every county in the
state, gathered at the state capitol
on Wednesday. They all refuted re-
ports of seditious sentiment, as
serted patriotism prevails and that
instances of disloyalty are extremely
few.
The sheriffs and deputies were
called into a law enforcement con-
ference by the State Public Safety
commission.
The senate chamber was crowded
with the county peace guardians.
Colonel c. H. March, Litchfield, of
the commission. greeted the sheriffs
and impressed on them the impor-
lance of their offices during the war.
Cooperation Called For.
G. w. Ames, another commission
er, outlined briefly the work of the
state war board and the co-opera-
ton 1t expects from the sheriffs in
this gigantic emergency"
Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith
explained at length the statute
against unlawful assembly. advising
that when free speech threatens the
welfare of the state II is beyond rea-
sonable bounds and should be sup
pressed.
The sheriffs with but few excep-
tons declared that conditions in
their respective counties are quiet
and that there are no noticeable evil
dences Of threatened discord.
Sheriff August Olson of NicoIIet
county. which adjoins Brown county,
famous for it's New Ulm anti-draf
meeting, said citizens of pro-Ger-
man leanings have little or nothing
to say and that the great majority
are loyal and patriotic.
Statements by other sheriffs were
to the effect that the people of Min
nesota are staunchly loyal and that
there are no indications of trouble
brewing in any county in the state.
The conference was continued
until today when there will be a gen.
eral discussion OF enforcement of
and liquor laws and the
problem of handling idle men. It is
probable that plan will be adopted
for systematic work to locate the
drafted men who failed to respond to
physical examination and are now
deserters from the United
States army.

EMBARGO Will

Dutch Mission on Way to

For Leniency

AS THE DUTCH LOT
Would Force Them to Turn
To Germany for Grain
and Coal
(By Associated Press

Amsterdam, Aug 16.-"If we fail
to persuade the American government
to permit a continuance of the supply
of grain, 1t will mean misery and
economic ruin for Holland" iinani-
mously declared the members of the
official Dutch mission who are expect
ed to sail for the United States this
week and who were interviewed yes
terday in body by the Associated
Press.
Whether such an eventuality would
ultimately forge Holland into the
war. the members of the mission did
not care to prophecy. This, they con-
tended, depended on the capacity of
the Duth people to bear privations
and on unforeseeable circumstances,
put 1t would manifestly make Hol-
lands position most serious and
would make her more than ever de-
pendent on the central powers, to
whom she would presumably be
obliged to turn to try to get grain. as
well as the present essential, coal.
necessarily in exchange for equiva-
lent concessions and in which case
the American aim of stopping Dutch
food exports toward Germany would
still be defeated.
The principal spokesman of the
mission was Joost an Vollenhoven. a
director of the Netherlands Overseas
Trust and managing director of tine

conclusions Holland would reluctant

seas trade for the future, she having
hitherto always reckoned that she

Washington, Aug. 16.-(Special.)-
Official Washington has breathed
more easily since the return of the
Root mission from Russia. The fear
that Russia might make a separate
peace with Germany has been dis
PEELED by the statement of Mr.. Root
and his associates, who declare that
with sufficient aid and encourage
ment from the United States the new
republic is sure to surmount all its
troubles and emerge from the war a
strong democratic nation.
The situation is very hopeful"
said Mr.. Root, speaking for himself
and his associates. Americas en-
trance into the war has had a good
effect. The morale of the Russian
people is good and altogether 1
should say the outlook is encourage
ing. Perpetuity of the Russian gov
eminent is as certain as anything in
human affairs.
