The dispatch to the Belgian Lega-
tion read as follows:
The German military authorities in
occupied Belgium are compelling wo-
men to perform the most rough and
dangerous work. AT Ingelmunster, a
town situated between Roulers and
Courtrai, many women between the
ages Of II and IS have been COM
PEELED to report to the 'kommand
Autur'; card OF Identification was
given to each one OF them and it is
said they were compelled to follow
the soldiers and do washing for the
army.

taken to Heulc, near Courtrai, where
they were given shovels and forced t.
dig trenches on the new line. In
stances of the same kind have hap
pcned in other villages.

SLUSH FUND
UNPATRI0TIC
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN SAYS
PEOPLE WILL REPUDIAyE>
" PROFITEERs' PUPPETS

!, Asserting that the Doyle campaign
managers are raising a gigantic
slush fund for the unpatriotic purpose
of attempting to corrupt the elector-
ate Of this state" Chairman William
Lemke Of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee predicted that "this
open attempt to defeat the peoples
program and to put into office men
who are nothing but puppets Of the
profteers will meet with the most
crushing reputation ever admins
tered at the polls in North Dakota. I"
Fright on the eve of the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive-a drive which re-
Iquires an undivided response If we
IRE to again exceed our quota-Mr.
Doyle's hackers are going about the
Eetate soliciting funds for the unpa-
|triotic purpose of attempting to cor
|rupt the electorate" Mr.. Lemke said.
E''In some cases they are using what
amounts to coercion to compel busi-
ness and professional men to pay for
their slAnderous campaign which is
libelling the whole state for the sake
of partisan political advantage.
Il Profiteers Are Contributing.
Furthermore, certain great out-of-
the-state corporations, some Of which
have been exposed in fragrant war
proiteering, have offered to match
this fund dollar for dollar. The Big
Business concerns which center in
Minnesota and Montana are trying to
strife North Dakota's democratic
movement at it's source before it can
spread into the neighboring states.
"It is reported that this slush fund
may total half million dollars, and it
is to be spent for the avowed purpose
Of buying newspapers, influencing
votes and poisoning public opinion in
every possible way. This unpatriotic
and un-American political debauchery
will fail. Mr.. Doyle's profiteering
hackers can raise one million, two
million or three million dollars if they
want, but they will find that public
opinion in North Dakota is not so
easily purchasable. This open at
tempt to defeat the peoples program
and to put into office men who are
nothing but puppets of the profiteers
will meet with the most crushing re-
pudiation ever administered at the
polls in North Dakota. The more in
decent their attempts at corruption

"We have laid the foundations for

where the concern of the state will be
the welfare of it's people and where
prosperity will be shared by the
many instead of being largely mono
polized by the favored few. We are
not going to be bluffed or bribed into
abandoning this splendid program Of
social justice merely because a few
out-of-the-state monopolists and their
in-the-state satellites fear that their
exorbitant profits will be curtailed.

SOLDIERS FOR
GOV. FRAZIER
CHAIRMAN DECLARES TROOPS
WILL VOTE AGAINST THE =
PROFITEERS.

An appeal, calling on every citizen
who has any relative in the United
States army to file with the county
auditor, the name and military ad-
dress and precinct in which the SOL
der resides, so that he may receive
q ballot and vote in the November
election, was issued yesteday by VIII
liam Lemke, chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee, who pre-
dicted that Governor Frazier would
get q majority Of the ballots cast by
the soldiers.
Supporters Of Mr.. Doyle are try
ing to make it appear" Mr.. Lemke
said, that they will get an overwhelm-
ing majority Of the votes from the 26,-
600 North Dakota soldiers. They are
badly mistaken. Governor Frazier
will get as large a majority from the
soldiers as among the voters at home.
We are just as anxious as the Doyle
supporters to get out the full soldier
vote. We passed the bill at the re-
cent special legislative session which
makes it possible for the soldiers to
vote and Attorney General LANCER has
interpreted the law SO as to give the
absent soldier voter every latitude.
"The soldiers from this state know
who really are upholding them, Mr..
Lemke continued, and letters which we
have received from boys at the front
and in the training camps indicate
that they are not fooled by the cam
oufaged campaign which Mr.. Doyle
is conducting. They realize that the
Frazier administration has done more
in constructive way to further the
Federal Governments war program
than any other state administration
in America. The seed and feed bond
ing act and the idle acreage act which
increased our farm production nearly
1 100000 acres are examples. North
Dakota was the first state to pass a
soldiers moratorium law and the State
Council of Defense has been very
jealous in protecting the property OF
absent soldiers from foreclosure. The
soldiers have not forgotten this"
"The soldiers also will not forget
that every profteer in the United
States is praying for the success OF
Mr.. Doyle and that certain protiteers
in the Northwest are contributing to
his campaign fund. Soldiers who are
risking their lives for their country
have wholesome contempt for the
profteer. They know
the profteers are the most danger
GUS and despicable class in America
and they are not deceived by the flag
waving which these scoundrels 90 10
cover up their crimes.
"The Frazier administration not
onlv is protecting the property OF ab-
sent soldiers, but stands committed TO-
a program which will give them a
fairer industrial opportunity when
thew return home, Mr.. Lemke con-
cluded. "The North Dakota campaign
nresents a clear-cut issue between
democracy and autocracy and that is
whv it is not likely that men who are
fighting for democracy abroad Will
vote to put a discredited political ana
industrial autocracy into power a1
home."s

GET FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

Governor Frazier, in cooperation
with Secretary Of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane, has commenced work pre-
paratory to getting things in shape
that North Dakota may do her share
toward providing farms for soldiers
returning from the war. Unlike after
the Civil war, there are very few large
tracts of tillable land that can be
given the soldiers. Most Of the land
to be used for this purpose must be
reclaimed through irrigation, drain
ing or clearing Of stumps.
1t is estimated that before the war
ends 100000 men will have been
taken from the farms. These must be
returned if the food supply of this
country and the world is not to suf-
fer, says Secretary Lane. Governor
Frazier is having a survey made OF
all available land in the state which
will be tillable when irrigated, drain
ed or cleared.

 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get small bottle of Knowlton's Dander- inc now--it costs but a few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten min utes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, f1uffiness and an incomparable gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandruff or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
