STATE COLLEGES WILL
AID THE RECRUITS

The educational resources of the
colleges and universities OF MinnesO-
ia, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Iowa as far ~as possible
will probably be placed at the COM
mand of the recruits from these states
who are to be trained for the army at
the great cantonment at Camp Dodge,
Des Moines. That this should be done
was the unanimous verdict of a con-
ference of college representatives at
Iowa State college at Ames Wednes-
day.
After an all day discussion, the con-
ference adopted resolutions asking
the state board of education in Iowa
to appoint an executive officer to rep
resent the colleges of the five states
at the cantonment who would care
fully list all of the work of the col
leges that may be suitably offered to
the men in Camp Dodge and cooper
ate with the camp authorities and
such agencies as the Y. NJ. G. \. and
the Knights of Columbus in placing
this work at the service of those who
want to do more or less serious study.
The resolutions also favor an advisory
committee of one college man from
each state. This offer was approved
by representatives of the war work
council of the Y. NJ. c. A. who were
in attendance. including William Orr.
educational secretary for the war
work council, and A. b. Dale. eXecu-
tive officer in charge of the Y. NJ. C. A.
war work at Camp Dodge.
This educational work is so big a
task that it takes a good deal of mag
ination to size it up properly" said
Mr. Orr to the conference. There
will be As, 900 men at Camp Dodge.
After the first few weeks are out of
the way they will find that they have
from a couple of hours upward of lei
sure time every day. If only one man
i'm nine wants to make use of at least
an hour a day to get q little more
education that Will mean at least
5000 hours day. Even that much
offers q great opportunity for the edu-
cational forces of these states. u Is
not going 10 he an ePsy task. ror can
we say now how il should he carried
on. but the task is there and it is
wise to make preparation for it as
hest we can Tho V. VI. c. A. will
he glad to lend itself to the accom-
Dlishment of this task by the col

TO PROBE BOOZE GRAVE.
YARD in TWO STATES

Northeastern Nebraska. since May
THE day the state entered the dry
list-has become a graveyard for the
bootleggers of three states, Iowa, Ne
braska and South Dakota according
to Nebraska officials. Though this
has never been advertised in this part
of the country it became known re-
Gently in the southern part of Ne
braska and it was fo' this reason that
Gov. Keith Neville appointed investi-
gators to determine the truth of the
matter. For this reason w. III. Will
son. an investigator from the gov
errors office, was sent to several
counties in the northern and eastern
parts of the state.
Dakota county officials, among
them Chief of Police A. l.. Mathwig
of South Sioux City. and Sheriff
George Cain. assert that they have
positive proof that motor boats ope-
rated on the Missouri river day and
night from the, time Nebraska went
dry until the day South Dakota also
entered the dry column, and that the
boats made from one to three trips a
day from South Dakota, laden with
booze. There were five boats engaged
most of the time, and all were able
to carry single cargCes of liquor
worth from $500 to $4,000.
Spies Line River Banks.
The Nebraska officials say that the
bootleggers had their plan outlined
and were ready for work before the
Nebraska supply gave out. "Spies"
were maintained by them and were
stationed at close intervals on each
side of the river from near McCook
lake to points even below Sioux City.
A signal system was used in inform
ing the men on the river how. when
and where to land their cargoes.
Prospect hill was one of the
strongholds of the spies" said Chief
Mathwig. Night after night the
sheriff and / have lain in the grass
and bush on the river bank and
waited in vain for the culprits to land
within our reach, but not once did
they do so. We protected ourselves
against insects with mosquito bar and
lay in wait for them night after night
for more than a month, sometimes
staying on the watch for twenty-fOur
hours at a time. We could see lights
flash from the Iowa side of the river.
and then the men in the boats would
answer with flashes, and the both
would continue down the stream.
Many Loads Down River.
"In this way we forced many gen
erous loads of booze far down the
river, because they dared not land
with such hauls when they had been
warned that we were watching them.
They merely continued their course
down the river and landed somewhere
else. | believe that the majority of
the booze which was driven down the
stream was landed in or near Sioux
City"
So perfect was the espionage sys-
TEN that the bootleggers even knew
when the officers left their homes. for
in nearly every instance when the
officers went on duty telephones in
their homes and offices would ring
and inquisitors would be informed
that the man sought was out. 1his
