GERMAN PAPERS SAY
CHANCELLOR PLAYED
FALSE.

! Copenhagen, July 16.-In their
reviews of the administration OF
the retiring German chancellor,
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollw the
German newspapers comment
prominently and often in an un-
complimentary manner, on his
treatment of relations with Amer,
lea. In the Vossitsche Zeitung.
George Bernhard openly accuses
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg and
his foreign secretary, DR.. Zim-
hermann, of having played a
double game with Washington,
making war inevitable by attempts
to deceive and mislead President
Wilson in regard to the policy
and intentions Of Germany.
Herr Bernhard intimates the
submarine policy. if managed
skillfully, might not have led to
war with the United States had
not these diplomats artifcially in
creased the danger and des-
itroyed every chance Of avoiding
a break. He says they encour-
aged the idea Of mediation by
President Wilson in America, but
did nothing to make it accept
able at home, launched the pro-
posal to Mexico to turn against
the United States while negotiat-
ing with Mr.. Wilson, and ar
ranged the dinner to Ambassa-
dor Gerard and approved the text
Of the speeches delivered at the
dinner, and then astounded the
President and the ambassador
with the submarine note.

PLAN TO THWART JUSTICE
IN EAST ST. LOUIS
REVEALED.

Washington, July 16.-Urging
prompt adoption of his resolutions
for a congressional investigation
of the recent race riots at East
st. Louis. ILL.,, Senator Sherman
told the Senate today the situa-
ton still was serious there, and
that "there is as much infuenc {
in procuring acquittal of guilty
men in Illinois as there ever was
in Georgia. /"
He urged that the federal au-
th6rities, either through the de-
partment of Justice or congress
sional committee, investigate the
situation, or, if the House refuse'
to concur in the resolution, that
a federal grand jury be empan,
elled to investigate and prosecute
those responsible for the riot, be-
cause prosecutions would be IN
conclusive and incomplete . unless
made by government authorities.
Senator Tillman made speech
supporting the resolution, remark.

beginning to understand the South

and not hesitated to say so all over

floor of the Senate, said Senator
Tillman, "that the average Yam

Dixon line-has no love for the
negro, except for political reasons.
They want his vote and nothing
else.
"The North is now beginning
to understand the South and to
understand the race problem, too,
and I am very glad to see so many
Northern men being ordered to
camps in the South for drilling
and training. In this way they

WATCH YOUR NUMBER.

The drawings at Washington
next week-the date probably will
be the 23d-will have perhaps a
wider interest than any event
since America entered the war.
Out of 9,659,s2 persons enrolled
June 5 approximately 100000
will be called for service and out
Of them will be taken 6S7 900 to
join the colors.
If you registered these are some
Of the things you ought to do.
Post yourself on the exemption
district in which you live. In
New Orleans there are thirteen.
Go to the headquarters Of your
exemption board and learn your
new number.
Lf it is. don't wait to be ad-
rised by mail, but go at once to
the exemption board on the date
specified for selectees to present
themselves. Do this regardless Of
your physical condition, unless of
course you are in bed and in the
care Of doctor.
If you think you come within
any Of the exemptions and mean
to claim exemption, make your
preparations promptly because
your claim must be filed in seven
days.
You are not exempt until you
are examined. You cannot be
exempted or discharged until You
have demanded exemption or dis
charge.
The fact that you are married
or have children or dependents or
are in some occupation which may
exempt you does not automatical
ly exempt you.
Don't take chance of being
branded deserter. Don't run
the risk of serious trouble by
neglect of the provisions of the
law; ignorance of the law is not
a defense-States.

SOLDIERS WRITE HOME

There seems to be quite a lot of
boys in the army who are sending
home tales of interest of life in our
fighting forces, and the Register takes
the following from letters published in
other papers throughout the state:
W. Eggers, a Huron boy, who is in
Europe as a member of the American
expeditionary force of engineers, de-
scribes a parade of himself and other
American soldiers, the parade being
reviewed by King George.
FINALLY we passed him (the king)"

chimes were taking our pictures, and
every n of US with a smile on our
faces. We have contracted the habit
to cover sadness with a smile. to
joke when we are hurt. Those Ger
mans cannot hurt us, and although We
are engineers, we have the hardest
part TO play in the war. We would
be very willing to go to the trenches,
but u services are more valuable
as engineers. On the streets of Lon
don one sees wounded soldiers by the
hundreds. the people of noble birth
caring for them. I've heard of one
lady who went among the wounded

tom of her skirts became covered with
blood from passing men torn to pieces

as a regular on the Mexican border.
He signs himself as "a soldier of for

WARNING TO BUTCHERS

Butchers who have been using "just
a little" starch or other cereal pro-
duct in their sausage will encounter
difficulties very soon unless they com
ply with the pure food law and dis
play conspicuous signs telling their
customers that they use cereal in their
product. Food and Drug Commission
er Frary has SEN instructions to all
the inspectors to watch closely for vi
olations of this section Of the food law
and to prosecute violators. A little
starch goes a long way sometimes. as
1t permits the addition of much more
water than otherwise could be added
to the sausage, and water sold at the
price Of sausage nowadays brings a
fat profit. The law permits the use
of 2 per cent of starch.

Karl Bleser, a Milbank boy, has had
an interesting career during the past
two years. AS a member Of a Mime
sofa field battery he was among the
boys who went to Mexico last year
and spent several months on the Dor
der. He had not been home a great
while when WAY IN Germany was de-
clared, and Bleser was not slow in
again getting into the service of I'm
Gle Sam, this time as a marine. For
some months he was stationed at
Mare Island, near San Francisco, but
recently was transferred to Philadel-
phia, and from there to Cuba, where
he is now stationed. He likes the
service very much. In his last letter
to the home folks he stated he had
commenced target practice, and that
out of so shots at 300 yards he scored
As bullseyes, and so out of rs, at 500

articles issued to us every few days.
We have three service uniforms now

also a blue uniform. At present we
are dressed somewhat similar to the

study the French methods of modern
warfare, and from there the rest is a
