John Beck Was Taken Into
Custody at St. Clair
MANY YEARS IN STATES
Never Has Taken Out Naturali-
zation Papers; Doesn't Want
To Be Bothered
From THURSDAYS Daily.


For the first time, an arrest OF
Blue Earth county man on the
charge of refusing to register for con-
scription, was made yesterday. The
prisoner is John Beck, twenty-nine
years old, who has made his home at
st. Clair during the past two and a
half years. He has been doing ditching
work here and there. He has been go
ing around from farm to farm for
some time, and Sheriff Osten has been
trying to locate him. Yesterday after
noon, the sheriff managed to appre-
hend him and brought him to the
county Jail. The sheriff took the man
over to the court house yesterday
afternoon and would have given him
a chance to register at the office of
the county auditor. Even then, the man
refused to register, and the sheriff
took him over to the Jail.
The attention of the sheriff was
called to the case of a man at Ceresco
who had not registered. The sheriff
looked this man up. The latter showed
by his birth certificate that he was
thirty-siX years old.
Not Citizen OF u. 5.
IT don't see why they should bother
me-" said John Beck at the Jail today.
II am not citizen of this country. II
i should register. it might make trouble
for me. l had nothing to do with start
ing that war Let those that started the
war do the fighting and take the
trouble
Beck said he was native of Den
mark, that he left that country when
seventeen years old and had been in
America twelve years, that he was twen-
ty-nine, years old. that he had never taken
out even his first citizenship papers,
and that he had a father one brother
and two sisters in the old country. and
two brothers in America, one working
here and there in the country not far
from Mankato, and the other farmer
of Benton county. He said both of the
two brothers in America were past the
registration age.
Sheriff Osten today reported the ar
rest by telephone to Assistant United
States District Attorney Dickey at St
Paul. Mr.. Dickey told the officer to hold
Beck until further notice

SOLDIERS AS FARMERS
British Tommies Have Taken Very
Kindly to Agriculture.


Behind the British Lines in France
June 15.-[Correspondent of The
Associated Press. IA special depart
ment attached to British headquarters
has been created for, the purpose of
experimenting agricultural operations
in the areas evacuated by the Ger
mans.
Work in the fields by soldiers is
largely voluntary AS details of SOL
diers leave the trenches for the rear,
they are invited to spend their
leisure in agricultural work, which in
the spring air and sun of France, is
one of the pleasantest recreations
imaginable. Soldiers who have once
lived on a farm or have done farm
work "back home" generally jump
at the opportunity, and it is surpris-
ing how many city men are eager to
take up work in the fields, even pre-
ferring it to sports such as football
and field athletics.
The soldier farmers are well pro-
vided with horses, usually artillery
or transport horses from the reserves.
The British agricultural military staff
has gone so far as to secure it's SOL
dier- farmers cultivators and machin-
cry of British models which are
familiar to them. Seeds and necessary
fertilizers are also provided in abund-
ance. The army will cultivate some
thing over 10000 acres this year in
the liberated Somme area alone.
