Riot at Butte


 BUTTE, Mont. June 5.-A parade here tonight of about 500 men and women apparently of foreign extrac- ton started riot which caused the calling out of troops which had been held in local barracks in preparation of such an event. The procession was said to be in protest against reg istration.
 A red flag carried at the head of the parade bearing the words Down with war seemed to be the cause of pro tests of large crowds of citizens. When policemen grabbed the leaders of the procession, women in the line began claWng at the bluecoats Several shots were fired. but no one was hurt. May or W. H. sMaloney, climbing to the top of building, told the crowd he would allow fifteen minutes to disperse.

 LT REGISTRATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire7

IGNACIO, Colo, June Ute Indians on their reservation near here today refused to register under the selective draft act and spent most of the day dancing war and bear" dances, in native costume. A number of the younger men are said to be out in the hills near here and to have obtained a quantity of liquor.
 It is reported here that they have threatened to burn this settlement. 'Thro9ts also hahe been made against the life of the Indian agent at the reser- E- vas said.
 The situation quieted down consider ably late tonight, the Indians ceasing their war dances for some unknown reason. No officers have been sent out to arrest any of them and none of the Indians have registered. No citizens have communicated with the Indians since they began dancing, so far as known, and their future course is pro- blematical

 The mutterings of the convicts caused the warden to ask for state troops. There was some delay in get ting this aid and by the time the sol diers arrived fires were set in several places and it looked as though the prison would be burned to the ground.
 The outbreak of the prisoners be- came so threatening that Captain Hamlet c. Ridgway of the militia or dered the soldiers to fix bayonets and drive the men back while the fire de- partment combatted the flames. Cap tain Ridgway and Warden Bowen walked boldly towards the threatening convicts, commanding them to stand back in a corner of the prison yard. The prison rel'els refused to budge and shouted rebellious threats. But as the glint of bayonets came close to the revolterS, they began to give ground As the steel penetrated the clothing of the front ranks of the convcts they winced and finally broke into a run that carried all the outlaws to the prison walls
 There the men were told they must return quietly to the cell house or suffer an attack by the troops with rifles With the flames cracking near | them, the men refused to yield, ap- parently hoping that the fire would get the better of the fire department and release all to the open fields.
 As the firemen began to quench the 1 flames many of the revoters gave up and walked forward to be taken to | their cells.
 In the course of a couple of hours all but about 200 convicts were thus placed under lock and key. The re- mainder sullenly stood their ground. Rain finally began to fall in torrents and the prisohers surrendered to gain shelter. All were quickly placed in i the steel barred cells and the riot was over. Meantime Major J. V.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO. June D. General re- sponse, unmarked by disorder. was made by the middle west today to the army draft registration law Reports received by officials of the department of justice late tonight showed that op- position to the law was only sporadic ln the face of registration which ex- ceeded in numbers the best estimates of election officials.

WHEAT CROP SHORT

With the wheat crop pretty generally garnered 1t is con sldered safe to count upon an aggregate yield of 660,O00,OOO bushels. With the small re- serve stocks carried over from last year, the indications are for total supply of about 71O,- 100000 bushels. This wonld be nearly 100,000,0OO bushels short of last years supply, but with the large yields of other crops and the curtailment in home consumption, it is ex- pected from this country and probably as much more from Canada.
 If these expectations are realized, there will be 350,00O,- 900 bushels of wheat available from North America for the allied countries. This amount 1t IS estimated would be, how ever, 150,000,00O bushels below the European requirements, so that a considerable amount must be provided by Australia, Argentina and other countries.
 The farmers are sure to en- joy another year of prosperity, as with prices as high as they are today, it is evident that the total valuation of the principal crops this year will break all records. The farmers may be expected also to plant an inn mense acreage to wheat this year, so as to make sure of a record production next year, which will command very high average prices.

HELPING BUSINESS.

Sagacious business men look for transactions in the west to be greatly stimulated as a re- suit of the large government orders that will be placed in consequence of the successful sale of the second Liberty loan. Immense contracts will be giv- en out for war material, foot stuffs and other supplies.
 All this buying makes for better business, not alone in the industry directly affected, but in kindred industries and often in widely separated com munities. The government or der is still, therefore, the dom mating factor in the business situation, and since it repres- ents many strong governments, the total business covered is probably greater than that rep resented by any similar buying movement that has taken place in the United States.
 There has been a renewed in

IT'S UP TO YOU.

No matter how much or how little you know about world affairs and world wars, 1t must be plain to you today that the threat against the United States Is greater than 1t was a week ago today. The defection of Russia must necessarily change the betting and not in favor of the Allies. Whatever the result may be from Rus sia's laying down, it cannot be to the advantage of the Allies.
 Therefore, today we all know that we must be uni fOrmly and intensely serious over this war business until it is decided. We must all do our bit and keep on doing it and our "bit" is EVERY THING WE CAN DO. We must deny ourselves many things; as many as we can. We must forget ourselves and re- member our country. Most of us have never before been call ed upon to do anything of this kind, never expected to be and are not prepared to know what our "bit" is, but with half a thought we can understand to- day that our bit must be or is the LIMIT. We can't let go; we must GO THROUGH!
 From now on scarcely a day will pass but that some good woman or women will appeal to you Tn person or through the columns of the local news papers for support to some pa- triotic proposition-Red Cross needs, Hospital beds, comforts for the soldiers and dozens of other needs which must be met and which the mothers and wives of Americans must and are glad to attend to iN the in terest of the Nation.
