DAKOTA TROOPS
MUST ''H0B0' WAY
Discharged at Omaha, Many

Omaha. Neb. March 2s-Three
South Dakota soldier boys. one from
Aberdeen, one from Brookings and the
other from Huron. walked across the
Missouri river on the ice yesterday at
.ternoon because they did not have
even enough money to pay the bridge
toll. They tramped the shree miles to
the Northwestern railroad to catch a
train" for home in the Council Bluffs
railroad yards.
After serving eight months on tho
Texas border they were mustered out
in Omaha, hundreds Of miles from their
homes and after a Short stay they
found themselves absolutely penni-
less. Their only alternative was to
hobo their way to their homes.
: The young men decided to remain in
Omaha with a large number Of other
South Dakota boys, upon the promise
their own state was going to do some
thing for them. The relief measure
blew up owing to a legal technicality
and a lawsuit to test the question and
after days of waiting, during which all
their money was spent, all had to de-
pend Upon friends at home or take the

GERMAN
PACT DENIED

Washington, March 26.-The United
States has formally refused GerYnany's
request to modernize and extend the old
Prusaian-American treaties OF 1899 and
1928. The state department ma replied
through Dr.. Pau Ritter, Swiss minister,
in charge of German interests, refusing
to accept the protocol sent through him
to this government February 10. The
reply states that the United States con-
sidering h treaties in force in their
original form, is entirely unwilling to
accept eGrmany's interpretation OF
them as provided in the protocol which
expanded the exemption from SEIZURE of
merchants and theirseffects'' in case of
war between the two countries. into
general exemption including enemy
ships in United States ports at the but
break OF the war which must either be
left free or. given safe conduct for their
home ports, rel through a hostile
blockade.
Moreover. German officials would be
free from internment and free TO go
about their business without the slight
est hinderance during the whole course
Of the war and no in the restricted
way mentioned in the original treaties.
The question left unanswered by the
negotiations Is h status Of the 1.250.-
000German citizens in this country.
The government will undoubtedly in
case Of war, cause Germans to regiater
and possibly restrict their travel, with
out special permit 10 certain limits.
General fnternment is not being con
sidered AZ YET.

approached, the animal arose to
it's feet and trotted of. Busk I
fired another shot at close
range, but the wolf never stop
ped until it had taken refuge in
2 snow bank. Busk approached
within a few feet and fired
again. This had no result, sos
Busk secured a neckyoke and
pounded the wolf until he be- !.
lieved there was not a spark OF
life remaining. Then he drag
ged the Carcass" into his sleigh.
After driving about a mile he
looked back just in time to see

sleigh. This time Busk deter
mined to kill the wolf for
