York City.
Schmidt, who was in constant touch
with Bernstorff, extensively used this
code in attempts to deliver to Germany
by circuitous routes large stores of
copper wool and other war neces7
saries. The fragmentary evidence of
the code discovered in Schmidts Of
flee enabled Deputy Attorney General
Albert c. Becker to reconstruct what
was probably the most enigmatic
means of communication devised by
the German foreign office.
Thousands of wireless messages in
Schmidt's possession contained the
body and key to this code.

When Schmidt became entangled in
the attorney generals investigation in

SEDITION BILL PASSES
Drastic Measure Against DisloyaIty
Now Up to President.

Washington, May S.-Final legisla-
ton action was taken today on the
sedition bill, giving the government
broad new powers to punish disloyal
acts and utterances. Adopting a con-
ference report already approved by
the senate, the house sent to the presi-
dent for his signature the measure
which had been before congress for
weeks, assailed as a menace to free
speech and championed as essential
to order at home during the war
The president is expected to sign the
bill promptly and thru vigorous en-
forcement of it's provisions officials of
the department of justice say they
will be able to do much toward check
ing the wave of mob outbreaks for
which unpublished disloyalty and
enemy activity are blamed.

HIS CHANCE AT LAST.

We will now consider the psychology of the dog
The war demand for dogs is growing stronger. Logs
are invaluable in trench warfare; they scent the
enemv s approach, carry messages and locate the
wounded. But the demand is for dogs OF certain
trend. psychologcally.
The thoroughbred dog is usually good at one or
two things. The pedigreed prize.winning dog is
good to sit and be looked at, and not much more
Bnt there is other dog, plenty of him. The stray
dog of the streets, cur by general reputc and mis-
cellancos by breeding, must have wits or staryee

things like guns, shells and boches and he becomes
psychologically fit to meet them See?
We see future for the stray cur. We've chased
many one to make future for him but have
always failed to discover what the same would De- .,

THE DUNN SENATORSHIP.

Dunn county is entitled to the state senator this
year, and we trust that when the convention is
called that good man will be nominated on
whom the voters agree. It will be strictly the
farmers who will do the nominating for the league
and they will evidently pick man from their own
ranks. We could pick half dozen good men right
around Halliday for this job; men who are in sym
pathy with the league men who would not make the
assertion that they would vote for yellow hunt
ing dog if he was put up by the league as did Rep
resentative Stair Of Bottineau county, i'll speech
at Dunn Center last week, to which remark he re-
ceved no applause from the audience of Dunn coun-
ty farmers. We trust that the farmers selected yes
terday at the precinct meetings will attend the dis
trict convention and see that men of the Stair type
are left at home. He does the cause more harm
than good. We believe that the farmers of Dunn
Mercer and Oliver counties will take hold of this
district convention and run it without the dictates

high as 81 900 week, and the very poorest generally
make $25 day. Jack Randall went out and while
he was learning how, made high as $65 in one

argue him down. If you can. you will no doubt
