possibility thought of how it could
have started. Together with the in
tense heat of the day, the flames
spread so quickly it seemed like an
explosion, giving no time to save the
horses or other contents. We under
stand the loss is some $11O0 above
the $3.50 insurance carried on the
barn.
Twenty-seven automobiles were de-
stroyed and loss of approximately
$4,000 incurred, when fire destroyed
the Dakota Motor Company's plant at
Bismarck Sunday night. Flames
mounting more than hundred feet
into the air, fed by jets and sprays of
gasoline and oil, shot up huge burning
embers which were carried over the
city. 1t was only thru good fortune
that dozen blazes did not break out
simultaneously. Chris Bertsch, Jr.,
fire commissioner, was badly burned
in attempting to save G. B. Little's
fine new Packard limousine, which had
been run only once or twice. Within
ten feet from the door the car colided
with an oil tank and was blocked, and
Commissioner Bertsch barely escaped
with his life, being severely burned
about the face and hands.

GERMAN CATHOLICS MAY APPROACH THE
 FRENCH FOR PEACE

PARIS. June 7.-Monsigner Baud rillart. rector of the Catholic institute in Paris, in La Croix, of Paris, reveals the fact that an effort is being made on the part of the German Catholics to get into communication with the French Catholics on the subject of peace. "On May IS, last" writes Monsignor Baudrillart, there was at Often a meeting of Swiss Catholics summoned by the famous German cen ter deputy Erzberger The latter ob- tained assistance of Swiss Catholics with a view to taking action with the entente bishops in favor of an early peace.
 "Erzberger's motive, which he per mitted expression before his most trusted friends, was this: Germany is at the end of her resources and must have peace as soon as possible"
 N. Baudrillart says he rejected the advances thus made and gave his req sons for so doing, declaring it was not for the Catholics to enter into relations with the enemy

the organization to turn its efforts to combating conscription, and high powered rifles were obtained to int1m- idate persons subject to registration and to officials who will be appointed to perform the registration.
 Comment of Attorney General
 In commenting on these cases, At torney General Gregory said:
 These arrests should be accepted by the country generally as warn- ing against interfering with the enforc- ement of the provisions of the new Army law; they merely demonstrate what the Department of Justice pro- poses to do in every case where at- tempts are made to hinder or dis courage registration.
 There have been a few reported in- stances of threats to interfere with the execution of this law. Wherever they come to the attention of officials of the department arrest will be made and the offenders will be arraigned be- fore United States commissioners for commitment to await indictment by grand juries.
 There are indications that attempts will be made in one or two of the cen tral western cities to make registra- tion ineffective. The department is prepared to care for such emergen- cies Its agents will be instructed to

The War Department authorizes the following:
 Provost Marshal General Enoch H. Crowder denies the rumor which had gained great currency that it had been decided to discharge all married men from the selective draft. The story grew from the remark of Secretary Baker of the War Department, that he hoped it would be possible to exclude from the draft all married men whose dependents were solely dependent" It was found that a number of married men not only were under the impress sion that marriage itself provided ex- emption from draft, but that it ob- viated even registration itself In or der to correct this misunderstanding Gen. Crowder issued the following statement:
The daily progressive-miner., 1917-06-07

As the day of registration in Alas ka is about to be set, it is considered appropriate at this time to give re- suits of similar attempts in the States. To that end, the Attorney General au- thorizes the following:
 Eleven arrests have been made and nine indictments have been returned by federal grand juries as the result of attempts 10 hinder registration in accordance the provisions of the new army 7 These were the first cases brought to the attention of the department of justice of organized ef- fort to resist the selective draft law. They were dealt with promptly as a warning to the public generally of the stringent policy which the Attorney General proposes to pursue in enforc- ing the army measure.
 Organized Armed Company
 Two of the men arrested, both Of whom are in jail were the organizers of an armed company in the mountain ous districts of Virginia, the purpose of which was to equip it's members with rifles and ammunition and resist registration officers.
 The other men, all of whom have been indicted, were prominent mem- bers of an organization effected in Tex as several months ago for the osten- -'''o nrrrose of cooperative buying.
