SECRET SERVICE
ACTIVITY IS NOT
TOBEC URTAILED
Department at Washington In
StruCtS Local Division Of
American Protective League
to Keep Force Ready.

The coming Of peace will not imme-
dlateIy affect the American Protective
league, that silent arm Of the United
states secret service that has been so
effective In running down p]ropagan
dists unearthing deserters and slackers
and finally in locating war loafers."
NJ, h, Chism. chief Of the Memphis
division, has received a letter from A.
Bruce Bielaski, head Of the federal Sc
cret service, asking that the organiZa-
ton be kept intact and in readiness to
continue its services to the govern
ment.
He writes;
Il understand that among a few
members Of the American Protective
league there has developed "a feeling
that peace with Germany Is in sight
and hat the need therefore for the
services Of the American Protective
league is no longer felt.
Needed Now.
Nothing could be farther from the
T situation. Need for the American
Protective league Is as great now as II
has been in the past, n ! am entirely
satisfied that need for this o~TganiZa-
ton VIII continue for some time, en-
tlre!y without regard to progress of
peace negotiations. The tremendous
machines which have been organized
by the government for the prosecution
of this war cannot be stopped abruptly
and must continue To operate for many
months under any circumstances.
The necessity and importance of
protecting from espionage the army
and property Of the United States will
continue for some time and need for
vigorous enforcement Of sections IL
and IA Of the seleCtive service draft
and for wRtchfulneSs for enemy propa-
ganda and financial activity probably
will increase.
To achieve the greatest success, 1t
Is essential that every war activity be
Kept at It's highest point until the full
fruits Of the efforts Of our armies and
those of our allies are not only in sight,
but actually realized.
League Due Credit.
The American Protective league has
had Il large share In the work in this
country which has made possible the
united support and full success OF our
armies abroad and ! am sure that your
organization VIII continue to play It's
fun part until the department ia will
ing to say II has no further need for
its great ~cndeavors."

can Protective league has a member

WILL IMPROVE LAKE
SHORE DRIVE ON GOOD
ROADS DAY. JUNE lS

Governor Burnquist has designated
Tuesday, June 18, as Good Roads
Day, as announced several days ago,
and an attempt is to be made to have
Bemidji observe the day, in similar
fashion as last year.
At that time, large number OF
public spirited business men and
farmers along roads to be overhauled
responded and much excellent i'm
provement resulted. The men worked
one day and farmers donated the use
of their teams and road drags to aid
in highway improvement.
On Good Roads Day, June 18, 1t
is the intention to urge as many citi-
zens as will help, to come out and as
sist improve the drive around Lake
Bemidji. There are some other spots
to be given attention, also, but the
lake shore drive is to be 'straighten-
ed out" in spots where needed. 1t
is this same lake shore route that
has often been called to attention and
commented upon, and it will take
verytli little effort on the part of each
if sufficient number devote days
labor.
There will be other places fixed,
as they should be, and any one who
willi@help should report at the city
hall at 1880 o'clock next Tuesday
and bring a shovel, axe,
hoe, rake or any other utensil suit
able for road improvement.
Lunch should also be taken and a
days healthful exercise will also re-
suit while improving a popular drive
and spots that need attention.
