Protest Meeting.

st. Paul, Sept. 12.-Nearly 100
speakers are on the program Of con-
ference of producers and consumers
to be held here September 1920. un-
der the auspices of the National Nom
partisan league, according to the
statement Of Benjamin G. March, of
New York, secretary Of the American
committee on the high cost Of living.
Mr.. March has taken over arrange
ments Of the program Of the meeting
which will begin with an organiza-
ton conference Tuesday. Septem-
Der 1s. Governor Frazier Of North
Dakota will be chairman Of the meet
ing, it is announced.
Among the organizations which Mr..
Townley says already have declared
they will send delegates to the meet
ing are the National Grange, Ameri-
can Society of Equity, Farmers
Equity Union. Farmers Union, Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, The Pro-
Iducers and Consumers League and
several labor unions not affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
President A. G. Townley Of the Non

and now says that the meeting is not
in the nature of the protest against
price fixed for wheat but is a patriotic
meeting called with the hope Of aid
ing the government overcoming prof
iteering during the war.

OF DRAFT LAW
Senate Committee Vigorous
ly Assails Hardwick in
its Report.

. Washington, Sept. 12.-Denouncing
the introduction of such a proposition,
the senate military committee today
reported adversely Senator Hardwick' g
resolution which would provide that
the consent of every drafted man must
be obtained before he is required to
perform foreign service. "a
The committee, the report says. be-
lieves the federal law is constit itutional
and that every man drafted into the
national army can be used abroad.
"The situation arising out Of this
spirit Of opposition to the selective
draft act is serious" says the report.
'and taken in connection with the un-
rest among the civil population grow
ing out of commercial and industrial
conditions, stimulated in some cases
doubtless by proGerman sympathiz-
ers and propagandists, places our
country in a position OF extreme peril
at time when all should be united
in a common cause. Ii
that the selective draft act is neither
a violation Of American tradition nor
Of the constitution and entertaining
this view the committee feels justified
in saying that there is no necessity
for such legislation as that proposed
eifher4on the ground Of expediency or
necessity. The psychological effect OF
calling into question an act, the prin-
|ciples of which, 1t seems to the COM
mittee, has been sustained, by the
country Is bad and the tendency Of II
all is to impair the military efficiency
of the men who are already in the
service and Of those who may yet be
called to serve In this time Of need.

Queen Victoria, German-Born, Made
Sweden Kaiser's Ally

. Washington. D. c., Sept. 12.-In the
fresh revelations Of Sweden's role as
the catspaw Of Germany, allied diplo-i
mats in Washington see another strik-
ing instance Of the kaiser's use of the
god of love to strengthen the hands
Of the god Of war.
BY the intermarriage Of German
princesses with other royal families
some of the innermost circle in al
most every monarchy in Europe have
been made pro-German. The bonds
of WedlOck become the bonds of state.
Queen Victoria, wife of King Gus
,tav v. Of Sweden. was Princess Vic
toria Of Baden, when she married the
present ruler Of Sweden in 1881.
Baden is one of the largest, most.
populous and most important of the
southern German states.
Although Sweden was ostensibly
neutral. there has been no doubt
about where Queen Victorian stood in
the present world war. She was true
to her blood. and was one Of those
who have revived for use In describ-
ing Germany the old saying about
Rome, the great military empire Of
earlier days, making it read, "Once a
German: always a German. M
Intrigues With Homeland K
Queen Victoria has been in close
touch with her homeland throughout
the present war. She has offered per-
sonal succor, and has intrigued her
country into offering the aid of a
pseudo-neutral in furnishing food
stuffs and military supplies
She has spent much time in Ger

NO HEARINGS
. ON EXEMP TIONS
BY PRESIDENT
1000 Claims Filed But Only
Evidence Will be That
Before Boards.

Washington. Sept. 12.-More than
1000 claims for. army exemption on
the ground that the claimant is in
.dispensible to the war industry ap-
:pealed to the president, the final
Judge of such cases, we're on file today
at the office of Provost Marshal Gem
eral Crowder and others are coming
in. r
Preliminary, examination is being
made by General Crowder on whose
final recommendation the president
probably will act. a!
The general laid emphasis today on
the fact that only industrial exemp-
,tion claims may be appealed to the
president from district boards and
that personal hearings before the au-
thorities acting for the president will
not be given. Evidence will be limit
ed to that already presented to district
boards and it will avail claimants
nothing to employ attorneys or other
agents to press their pleas.
