PEOPLE MUCH INTERESTED
IN RETURNED SOLDIER

The people turned out splendidly
again to hear Sergeant Down. When
the Sergeant spoke in early April
there was intense interest in what he
had TO say, and when he sought a re-
turn engagement ii was not hard to
close a date.
Saturday evening hc spoke under
TIE auspices of the local Red Cross
and filled the opera house to capacity.
Although the address was along the
same lines as before the people
listened to the recounting of army life
witk great interest. His plea for
support of the Red Cross was cnrhus-
iastic. 1t is the very foremost help
to the soldier on the field of battle.
The Sergeant had busy time Sun

of whom were to leave this week, will
go on the tenth instead.
Draft parties have been leaving so
frequently that much of the novelty
still close for short time, the band
plays, and the station platform is al
ways packed to bid the boys goodbye;
but very little feeling is shown, either
on the part of the fellows who go or
those left behind. The seriousness of
the situation is just as thoroughly
realized. But the American people
are dedicated to the victorious ter
minatiOn of the war, and personal
feelings are being subordinated to the
more important matter.
The classification of the men of
Dickey county is now practically COM
pleted. There are 239 men in class L:
157 in class IL; 60 in class III; 4O8 in
class "; and POI in class v. On

Plans ae under way for the annual
commencement exercises of the Oakes
public schools. From present indica-
tions the exercises this year will equal
if not surpass those of former years.
EXtravagances are being eliminated
in accordance with the spirit of the
times, but an exceHent program is be-
ing arranged that will be thoroughly
enjoyed by the patrons and one that
will long be remembered by the pu-
pills.

occur the annual public school exhibit.
This exhibit has shown a steady inn
provement through the past few years
and the exhibit this year bids fair to
eclipse the previous ones 1t will in
clude the work in the drawing depart
ment, home economics and manual
training departments. The work of
the manual training department has,
in the past, been highly gratifying TO
the school authorities and patrons
alike. This exhibit may be seen from
2 to 5 and from 1880 to $3.50 in tie
evening. The teachers of the schools
will be in attendance, giving the par
ents an excellent opportunity of meet
ing them and comforting with them.

the school with it's class memorial.
Appropriate exercises will be ar

S. e. A. TO MEET IN
oAkES NEXT YEAR

Oakes has been selected for the
1919 meeting place of the Sibiey Ed
ucational Association. Superintend-
ent C. r. Blume attended the recent
session of this organization at Valley
City, and extended the invitation to
the association to meet in Oakes in
the spring of 1919 in behalf of the
city schools, and as secretary of the
Commercial Club. kilograms of in
vitation were also presented by Mr..
Blume from Mayor Slocum and C. E..
Knox, president of the Commercial
Club.
The Sibley Educational Association,
formerly known as the Central Educa-
tion Association, revised its consti-
tuition and extended invitations to
some ten additional counties to unite
with the six counties already in the
association. From all indications, a
large attendance will be expected for
the 1919 convention and the people of
Oakes will have a chance to hear some
excellent things on that program. The
convention this year at Valley City
was one of the best ever held. It was
patriotic in nature, seeking to relate
the place of the schools in the national
preparedness scheme of things. Some
excellent speakers were secured.
Oakes is to be congratulated upon the
fact that it will have a chance to have
this live educational organization in
its midst next year. 1t will be one of
the biggest things ever enjoyed by
this city.

This letter." explains Mr. Sultan,
will be issued by the organization
weekly and is expected TO prove an
ehectlve weapon against the machina-
tlons Of the Hearst agents, who have
oeen grasplng at every opportunity to
spread dlssension among our members.
IN 1T we shall endeavor TO present 10
tfe public the conditions and methods
by which Nh Hearst has been able to
dominate those selling his publications
and how the dealers have lost much of
their patronage by being forced to
handle his papers. which the people OBJ
Jected to and would not buy on pa
trIotlc grounds.
Hearst and his allies in she Pub
lishers' Association have gone ahead OF
the theory that because there was no
strong central body to deal with it
would be an easy matter to defeat us
lhey have tried to accomplish that
end by playing one association against
another While this trick has failed
1t has pointed out to US a weakness in
the situation that might later prove
to be costly and we have taken ad-
vantage of the suggestion.
With strong, centralized BODY the
ilght to compel Hearst and his allies
to allow US papers at S120 a hundred
instead of the s1.40 they now insist on,
VIII continue with even greater vigor.
The vendors are equally insistent on
the right to say what papers they shall

War Board Intervenes
In Strike of Printers

Examiners of the War Labor Board
Will conduct hearing at City Hall this
morning to consider the facts in the
strike of the press feeders and press

requested the hearing, charging that
the men are tying up publication of
magazines and other printed matter in
violation of a contract made between
the Printers League and the employes,
Major Berry, president of the Inter
national Union of Pressmen and Assist
ants, declared last night that the only
course open to the strikers is immedi-
ate withdrawal OF their demands and q
return work.
II the unions refuse to discontinue
the strike,' he said. "the international
body will order all loyal Americans to
return to their places, in accordance
with the orders Of the War Labor

Palestine and Syria
To Be Jewish Nation
Professor Levi Declares That
Is the Ideal Future for
Two Countries

Palestine and Syria will eventually
become self-supporting, independent
Jewish nation, in the opinion of Pro-
fessor Sylvan Levi, of the College de
France, Paris. who was a member of
the Zionist administrative commiss on
sent to the Holy Land shortly after the
capture of Jerusalem.
Professor Levi. who is now stopping
at the Harvard Club, is not Zionist.
He does not speak for that organiza- :
ton, but the Zionists attach great i'm
portance to the conclusions he has ar
rived at from his tirst-hand studies Of
conditions in Palestine and Syria and
are especially enthusiastic over his as
sertion that these two lands can be
welded together into a virle, self-sus-
tanning Jewish community.
The transformation of the liberated
Turkish provinces into nation will be
slow WORK, which must be gone about
carefully, Professor Levi believes, and
under the guidance of benevolent pow
ers.
"The Jews of Palestine,' said Pro.
fessor Levi yesterday, "have already
demonstrated that the Jew can be-

ist. What have seen of the colonies
is truly wonderful. They have a beau.

The Federal Food Board here yester-

statement on the needs of the Allies
and the plans of the food administra-
tion to meet them,
The board points out that feeding the
American soldiers in France is but a
detail of the American food dstribu-
ton problem; that the gigantic task
confronting them rises from the whole
or partial victualng of 22O, 100000 peo-
pie of the Allies. Every prisoner taken

programme.
Though details of the programme
may change every day." thc boards s
statement said, "the main outline has
not altered since the inter-Allied Food
Council agreed that America should pro
vide this year 1850, 200 tons of food,
an increase of so per cent over last
years prodigious achievement. This
vast programme of food exports is to
be met by home conservation"
The largest item in the programme
of food exports is 100000 tons of
bread making flour and grain - more
than 4OO,O00,OO0 bushels. The board
estimates that O0,OOO,oo0 bushels
of this must actually be saved
by home conservation. This means
according to the board, that the
individual consumer must limit him
self to four bushels of grain in his
bread, in place Of five, for the year.

Shipment of Toys
Is Looked Upon as
Teuton Feeler
Sent to Ascertain Attitude
in u. S. ON Goods With
Made-in-Germany Stamp

Seven firms. it became known ycster
day, are interested in the cargo of
German-madc toys which arrived here
last week via the Holland America
Line. Of these Butler Brothers have
refused to receive their portion Of the
shipment. The other companies to whom
the toys are consigned are: Louis
Wolfe e. Co., New York and Boston;
Strobel & Wilkin Co., New York; Sears,
Rocbuck e. Co., Chicago; Charles Sill
verman. New York; William Schoenc
man, Philadelphia, and S. Tannhauser
Philadelphia.
1t is probable that these firms will
follow the example of Butler Brothers
and refuse to accept the German made
playthings. 1t is also practically GER
tain that when the Toy Manufacturers
Of America meet this morning at the
Hotel McAlpin they will adopt resolu-
tions approving the action Of Butler
Brothers.
Fletcher D. Dodge. secretary Of the
board of directors or the Toy Manu-
facturers, said last night that he saw
in the shipment of these toys to Amer
lea an effort on the part of Germany to
sound out public feeling here.
10y business Has doubled
"Thc toy business here has more
than doubled since 1913," said he, "and
it. is gratifying to toy manufacturers
to have as important a dealer as Wal
ter Scott, of Butler Brothers, say,
America does not need German-made
goods
"Thc question uppermost in our
minds is," Mr. Dodge continued, "why
was the cargo of German toys which
was landed in New York allowed to
come across at this critical period of
the war. SO far as our government is
concerned, the permission to bring over
this merchandise was granted more
than a year ago, but the German gov
ernment refused to allow this shipment
to sail. This indicates to us that when
Germany gave safe conduct to the
Nleuw Amsterdam on the assurance
that no American passengers were to
be allowed on board the imperial Ger
that these toys were in the cargo"
The spirit of indignation aroused by
the attempt to dump a boatload of
German made toys on the children of
America continued to spread through
out the city yesterday.
Protest German toys
Hundreds of protests against the
distribution of the playthngs poured
into Mrs. Oliver Cromwell Fields COM
mittee appointed by the New York Fed
Grafton of Womens Clubs to see that
the Teuton-made stuff does not reach
the public.
An additional development was the
announcement by Mrs. J. Thomas
Plummer Of SO East Fifty-eighth
Street, that she has framed petition
to be circulated among the women of
New York, protesting against the cir
culation or sale of the German-made
goods in this country.
Although the exact status of the
made in Germany merchandise has not
yet been determined, Mrs. Field an
nounced that under no circumstances
would the toys be permitted to reach
American homes. Just what line of ac-
ton will be taken, she said, will be
outlined at a meeting of her COM
mttee at 512 Fifth Avenue this after
noon.
