Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov, 13,--EX-
pressing supreme faith in the demo-
cratic spirit of the Russian people,
Charles Edward Russell, former So
cialist leader and member of the Root
mission to Russia, in an address here

He declared the rebellion Of the Boil

short lived, "a matter Of few days.
THE great, solid, healthy minded
and strong democracy Of Russia, y Mr..
Russell declared, lies in the peasants
and working men"
This element, he said, comprised 80
per cent of the Russian population.
The present disaffection in Russia was
characterized as an incident to the
great of Russia toward democracy. D..
Mr.. Russell referred to Senator La
Toilette as the captor Of Riga and
roundly scored Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota, and Senator Stone OF
Missouri for what he termed their
"anti-war" stand.
Mr.. Russell came here under the
auspices of the local labor unions.

RULES
PREPARED FOR
DISTRIBUTION
New Book Includes Everything
Bearing on Draft Process
as Now Planned.
FIVE GLASSES SUBJECT
TO GROUP FORMATION

Washington, Nov. 13.-Copies of the
new army draft regulations came Off
the press today for a final reading
preparatory to mailing to local exemp-
ton boards throughout the country
They will be in the hands Of all boards
next week to govern all future drafts
Under the new plan the burden Of
supplying information which will re-
suit in his being placed in his proper
classification under the selective serv-
ice law rests squarely on the individ
ual registrants.
Old Instructions AnnuIIed.
All instructions now in the hands of
the boards will be annulled upon the
receipt Of the new regulations, which
are greatly reduced in extent and
simplified in process
Included in the new book is every
thing bearing on the draft processes
as now organized, from the time the
questionable to be sent to each regis
trant and filled out and returned to
the boards until acceptable men are
actually in the military service Each
book carries a copy of the statutes
and also verified copy OF the master
list of the drawing.
Groups of Five.
The QUESTIONABLE is the basis of
the plan of grouping registrants in
five classes, liable for duty by classes.
The boards will be able to classify
man Immediately when his question
naire has been received.
The QUESTIONABLE process will elm
mate from consideration for military
service probably 95 per cent Of the
men who would have been discharged
or exempted under the old plan. I'm
der the first call the average board
was compelled to examine five men
to obtain one for service In some
cases not more than one out of 10 or
II were sent to the camps.
1t is expected that under the new
scheme the average figures will be re-
yersed and at most not more than one
man in five called up will fail to pass
his physical examination and be re-
jected.
Associations Organizing.
The American Bar association and
the American Medical association are
at work now organizing the lawyers
and ;coctors to aid registrants in their
vicinity in filling out their question
naires. With the aid Of these assO.
Citations it is hoped high percentage
of the questions will come back In
such form that the boards will have
little more than a rubber stamp pro-
ceeding left to select the men to fill
any cali.

SECRET SERVICE AGENTS At
TEMPTING TO uNRAVEL
MYSTERY AT CLINTON.
BECOMES cHUMMY WITH
BATTERY A MEMBERS
Woman Spent Several Months in clin-
ton and Became Active in Public
Affairs - Suddenly Disappears After
Lengthy Conversation Over Long.
Distance Telephone.

Clinton, April 12.-The secret service
agents are up against a mystery Of
their own and it concerns woman
who is believed TO be a German spy.
For several weeks agents of the de-
partment Of justice have been combng
this section of Iowa in search of rad
German government. 1t is known they
talked to a number of persons and is
sued certain warnings, after which they
left town.
Some months ago a young woman,
either German or of German parent
age, arrived in Clinton and obtained
employment on a foreign tongue news
paper. She was employed on it until
she was taken i'll. After her recovery
she assisted in Y. NJ. c. A campaign
and later obtained a job as maid in
the home Of a lawyers wife. She knew
nothing about the duties of maid, but
she seemed to be without friends and
money and her employer decided to
keep her. One afternoon last week the
telephone rang and the maid answered
it. A conversation which lasted al
most a half hour ensued. after which
the maid asked permission to take
the afternoon off. This was granted
and the girl disappeared. She did not
return at night. The following morn
ing government agents visited the law
yers home and asked to see her. They
were informed that she had disap-
peared. They let the information fall
that she was a German spy. She was
traced to the union station, where ii
was ascertained she had purchased a
ticket for Canada. kilograms were
sent 10 apprehend her, and an effort is
being made to halt her at the border.
The name of'the young woman was
not given out by the secret service
agents and the Clinton person who
gave the story out here today had for
gotten the name she went under. Clin-
ton is all worked up over the mystery,
it is said, especially as the young
woman had become quite chumtny with
several Of the Battery a members.
