Ssw York. June L-Federal authort-
ties today uncovered . German wire
lsss telegraph plant in Mexico in con-
necgion with the underground" mail
routs plot exposed yesterday BY the
arrest Of three participants.
The three prisoners are alleged TO
have sought to set up the plant in
furtherance OF the plan to send secret
information to Germany. At least
two complete wireless installations
were purchased in New York. Part
of this equipment was held up by the
United States authorities. The re-
mainder Of 1t got through, 1t is uR-
derstood, via Vera Cruz.
This startling information was made
public following the arTaignment be-
fore United States Commissioner
Hitchcock, OF Henry 2. PERISH, lrv-
ing Bonapsrte and Alex. z. Melchar,
the three men arrested yesterday. In
fxfng Melchar's bail at 5000 and
that OF the other two at $500 each,
the commissioner said significantly:
In a situation OF this kind one is
reminded that while our people didn't
even know OF the departure Of our
destroyers for Europe. the news was
published In Berlin four days ahead
OF their arrival. l take II that it is
in the mind OF the government that
tnlS may De part and parCel OF the
same iniquity, and under these condi-
tons / shall held them in the bail the
government asks"
Sen of German Captain.
Immediat tely following the arraign-
ment, Assistant Federal District At
torney Frank NJ. ROosa brought be-
fore him Ferdinand Henies Adam
who IS said to be the son of a Ger
man army captain and through whom
the three prisoners are said to have
negotiated for the purchase of the
wireless equipment. No charge has
been preferred against Adam. who,
Mr.. Roosa explained. is merely de-
tanned.
TT is no crime to send wireless
equipment to Mexico" he said. But
We don't propose to permit IL to be
exported thence II there is reason TO
believe it is intended for German con-
cerns."
The understanding is that PERISH
and Bonaparte. in connection with the
pony mail route, planned. il they did
not actually set up, a wireless plant
in Mexico through which was to be
dispatched 10 Germany the news
smuggled across the border by their
underground route.
By such means the departure Of the
destroyer ffotilla could have been
flashed, though the Federal aUthoTI-
ties viii not yet admit that they have
any hint that this was done.

DRAWING FOR DRAFT IS
TO BE MADE BY NUMBER

Drafting of registered men for
Uncle Sans new army will be made
by number, according to unofficial in
formation, and it is believed that the
federal government will do the draw
ing, that there may be no opportunity
for local favorites, political or other
wise. Every man who registered is
designated in his precinct by number.
Numbers will be drawn from the
wheel, or by whatever method is fin
ally decided on. If No. S is drawn,
every man numbered IS" on the pre-
cinct lists throughout the country will
be drafted. If No. 10, all the tens
will be included. Enough numbers
will be selected to fill the quota for
the army, numbers being t~elegraphed
to the home districts of the regis
tered men as they are drawn. .
Then will come the exemptions and
these will go before the local boards.
If a mar is exempted the man bear
ing the number which was drawn
next in order will take his place, and
so on.
Plenty of time will be given drafted
men to arrange their personal affairs
and report to the cantonment camps.
It is hoped to have them in training
by September 1, or a short time
thereafter.

Howard Young ranch, a distance Of
more than 100 miles from this city.
After a thrilling trip through the
Bad Lands, they arrived at the scene
of the hop, which was attended by
more than 100 merrymakers. On the
return trip to this city, the car
struck a treacherous piece of going in
the trail, and was mired. Mr.. Casey
declares that it would be his highest
ambition to have a photograph of the
digniied Belfield representative and
the distinguished corps OF editors
carrying hay in an effort to provide
a stepping-stone for release of the
car.
After considerable toll the a was
e%xtricated, and remainder OF the
journey accomplished without mishap,
the party arriving here about noon,
after enjoying a fine trip and getting
a splendid view of the Bad Lands by
night as well as by day.
Editor Nye of the Fryburg Pioneer
showed his enterprise and boosting
spirit by issuing a noon extra, bidding
the visitors welcome. The extra was
of four pages, giving the program of
the day, and showing the growth of
Fryburg since it's inception four years
ago. The little Billings county town
has enjoyed a rapid growth, and, as
Nye states, one does not have to
stretch his neck to see it. And the
beauty of it is, the town is crammeti
to the gates with live wire boosters.

We your committee on resolutions
beg leave to report as follows: ,
Whereas, our nation has been forced
into the bloody maelstrom OF war, IN

vain, and that government of the peo-
ple, by the people and for the people
shall not perish from the earth. And
Be it resolved that we approve the
action of the national congress in de-
feating the censorship clause of the
espionage bill, but that we neverthe-
less recognize the existence OF an I'M,
piled censorship on all matters OF

ourselves to conscientiously respect
the same.

publishers of the state, therefore, be
