TIRED OF JAILS
5emidji |. w. w. Signify Desire To
Mend Their Ways and Settle Down.

Bemidji, Mimi, July 30.-Two of
the l. w. w. strongest organizers,
both of whom formerly lived here,
returned to this city Saturday night
and asked that they be permitted to
live here, saying that they were tired
of jails and trouble. and that they
had given up organizing for the /. w
w. The men were not among those
deported from here last week, al
though they admitted that they had
seen some of those men and had been
warned to stay away from here.
Harry Thorne, who became well
known as one of the leading spirits
on the Minnesota iron range last
winter at the time of the labor trou-
bles there, was one Of the men. He
married a Bemidji girl two months
ago and wants to forsake the organ
ization and join his father-in-law
in the hotel business here. Roy Car
ter who has lived here for several
years until he became an organizer
for the l. W. w, says that he has
had enough Of Jail and wants to set
tie here and take the salaries paid in
the local mills.
The men were told that they could
live here as long as they behaved

TOO MANY USE
WATER AT ONCE
Water Pressure Cut Too
Low for Fire Fighting,
Blakemore Says

Extraordinary demands on the
city waterworks by Fargo citizens
by the wholesale sprinkling Of lawns
and gardens this hot weather has
cut the water pressure too low for
fire fighting, despite the fact that an
auxiliary pump is maintained for
fire purposes, according to a state
ment by r. B. Blakemore, commits
sioner of waterworks.
The normal domestic pressure is
so pounds, and for the ordinary fire
IS to IS pounds, but Saturday aft
ernoon the pressure went down to 10
pounds, less than enough to force
the water to the second floor in
many Fargo residences. The boost
er pump at the Gardner hotel which
forces the water through that big
hosiery, failed when the pressure
fell.
Commissioner Blakemore main
tains that too many citizens are
using water at the same time, and
has asked that residents north OF
the Northern Pacific railroad tracks
sprinkle their lawns and gardens be-
tween the hours OF to 8 o'clock in
the morning and evening, and those
south of the tracks from 8 to IL
o'clock morning and evening, ana
upon the first alarm Of fire turn off
all hose connections.
The following of this system. Mr..
Blakemore says, will allow the
proper pressure TO be maintained.

DEMOCRACY WILL end
WARS OF AGGRESSION
Lansing Tells Future Officers That
Only Democracy Can Bring
Permanent Peace.
(By Associated Press. }

Madison Barracks, N. Y, July 80.
In a speech here last night before
LOO members of the officers reserve
corps, SECRETARY of State Lansing,
emphasizing the peril of German i'm
perialisTn to the United States and
the world, declared his belief that the
German people would not cast off
the yoke of autocracy until the ply
steal might of the united democra-
cies of the world has destroyed for
ever the evil ambitions of the mill
tary rulers of Germany. That, he
added, is the only way to restore
the peace of the world.
Were every people on earth able
to express their will, there would be
no wars of aggression, he said,
and, If there were no wars Of ag-
gression, there would be no wars,
and lasting peace would come to this
earth. The only way that a people
can express their will is through
democratic institutions. Therefore.
when the world is made safe for
democracy, when that great principle
prevails. universal peace will be an
accomplished fact.

MILLER WANTS GUARD
TRAINED In NORTH
Duluth Congressman objects to Pro-
gram Outlined by the War
Department.

Washington, July 30.--A vigorous
protest was made to the war depart
ment Saturday by Rep. c. B. Miller, of
Duluth, against having the Minnesota
National guard sent to Fort Demlns'
N. NJ, for training. Many kilograms
have been received from Minnesota by
Mr.. Miller and other northwestern

ed to the northern climate. Mr.. Miller
sent copies of some of these kilograms
to the secretary of war SATURDAY to-
getner with his letter.

this same line" said Mr. Miller in his
letter. doubtless it is not possible to
secure a revocation of this order. Per-
nit me to add what / have repeatedly

since l learned 1t was the intention
to have All northern national guards

RILEY FAVORS
LATE OPENING
Heaviest Work on Farm
During Sept. and Oct,
Says County Supt.

Opening OF the schools in the rural
districts of Cass county will be gem
orally delayed this fall in order to,
Permit the farm boys and the girls
to remain on the farms when their
services are needed the most, ac-
cording to J. w. Riley, superintend-
ent of schools of Cass county.
Mr.. Riley stated that the teachers
being employed so far have been tci4
to report for work the first week Of
October, just 8, month later than the
date for the opening Of the one
room rural schools.
There will be no loss of time by
delaying the opening of the rural
schools" said the county superin-
tendent this morning." but school
will continue until up to the first of
July next summer instead OF closing
the first of June or the latter part OF
May.
1T is very essential that the rural
schools of the state should not be
opened until later for, according to
reports reaching my office and also
that of the state superintendent of
instruction, the heaviest farm work
is not in harvesting the crop, but the
work during the months of Septem-
Der and October"
The Fargo public schools, it is be-
lieved, will open on the usual date,
as the percentage of farm children
in attendance is very small.

Amendments
(Rv Associated Press.N

Washington, July 80. - President
Wilson today again declared his OPP
position to amendments to the food
control bill now in conference,
providing for an administrative
board of three instead Of one and for
the creation of congressional COM
mittee on expenditures in the con-
duct of the war.
The presidents counsel was sought

the disagreement over senate

administration under a board of
three instead of single official,

After a conference arranged at the
White House between the president
and Senator Chamberlain and Repre-
sentative Lever, representing the
conferees, the committee planned to
meet again in an effort to smooth
out the only. remaining points OF
difference.
The president was expected to in
sist on abandonment of the plan Of
establishing a congressional war
committee but several conferees be-
lieved even his influence could not
prevent the reporting OF a partial
disagreement to both houses for an
other vote. RI -- &c.. ,f

Harrison Gray Otis, president and
general manager of The Los Angeles

Recruiting officers in charge of the
United States naVy's substation in
the federal building received instruc-
tons by wire this morning to make
a special attempt to enlist cooks for
service.
AS Uncle Sans navy increases
daily with the big number of enlist
ments, the bureau Of navigation
finds that II must have more cooks
so directed an urgent appeal to the
officers over the country who are in
charge of the recruiting for this
special arm of the government.
The officer in charge Of the United
States marines station received
orders that the war department hav-
ing recently decided that only native
born or fully naturaliZed citizens of
the United States can be accepted
for enlistment in the marine corps,
that recruiting officers will in cases
of men aboard who claim to be fully
naturaliZed citizens carefully verify
the fact of their naturalization.
II is reported that several cases
have occurred recently where foreign
born men, claiming to be naturaliz-
ed, have been accepted and trans
ferred to the recruit depots and have
subsequently been unable to prove
their naturalization. In these cases
it has been necessary to dismiss
them and, in order to save unneces-
sary work at the recruiting depots,
recruiting officers will satisfy them
selves beyond any doubt that the APP
plicant is fully naturalized before he
is accepted and transferred.
The orders state that men of the
British of the British colonial ex-
traction should be directed to the
army recruiting stations where they
win be given full information as to
enlistment in the British or Cana
dian forces.
