submarines are engaged in sink
ing passenger ships at sea, and
not the ships alone, but the very
boats in which their passengers
and crews seek to make their way

are pursuing a course of wanton
destruction which has always
been regarded as in direct viola

"Cities and villages, if not de-

cannot be expected to agree to a
cessation Of arms while acts of in

ton are being continued which
they must look upon with horror
and with burning hearts.
1T is necessary, also, in order
that there may be no possibility
of misunderstanding that the
president should very solemnly
call the attention of the govern
ment Of Germany to the language
and plain intent of one OF the
terms of peace which the German
government has now accepted. 1t
is contained in the address of the
president delivered at Mount Yer

MASTER BUILDERS
MAYOR JAS. ROBERTSON CALLED
TO ATTEND IMPORTANT
MEETING In CHICAGO.

Mayor Jas. Robertson has been
summoned by telegraph to appear in
Chicago Saturday morning at 10
o'clock to attend a meeting of the
Master Builders association which
work in conjunction with the war
emergency board. The association
with which Mr.. Robertson is directly
connected comprises a unit of 10
states, brought into existence since
the war, and MI. Robertson is a di-
rector representing South Dakota.
The meeting for organization was
months ago. The purpose is to or
ganize master builders throughout
the country into units to be under
the call of the war emergency board
to take up important construction
work needed by the government, the
state units mobilizing their men and
equipment and crowding the work to
completion in the space of weeks in
stead of prolonging it by employing
a small number of men and limited
equipment. AS an illustration, Mr..
Robertson states that a military camp
capable of caring for 10000 men is
being proposed to be located in the
Black Hills section, possibly at Fort
Meade. In case it is finally decided
upon the al emergency board would
likely call upon the master builders
of South Dakota and North Dakota
to mobilize their men and equipment
and the necessary buildings would be
completed and ready for occupation
within a period of 60 days or less.
Such is the necessity for quick con-
struction work that the war emer-
gency board has decided upon this
system.
Just what business will be taken
up at the Chicago meeting Mr.. Rob-
ertson is not informed. His tele-
gram, however, urges him to come
prepared to attend another meeting
at Atlantic City, N. j., to be held i'm
mediately following the Chicago
meeting. Mr.. Robertson thinks this
may possibly mean that the director
from each state of the several unit:
will meet with the war emergency
board.

BANKERS Meet
ORGANIZE LAKE COUNTY FOR
PURCHASE OF u. s. TREAS
URY CERTIFICATES.

The bankers of the country have
been asked by the government to
purchase United States treasury GER
t~ificates to the amount of $6,000,-
0O0, 900. Organization of the bank
ers is being effected, and Lake county
bankers are ready. C. E. Mckinney,
of Sioux Falls, was recently called to
Minneapolis when he was appointed
chairman of district No. 2, compris-
ing this portion of South Dakota.
He in turn appointed county chair
men, C. e. Olstad, president of the
First National bank, of this city, be-
ing named for Lake county. Mr.. OIL
stad last evening called the bankers
of Lake county together in the Mer-
chants association rooms and at the
conclusion of discussion of the work
in hand they signed the following
pledge:
These are times when every Amer
fcan who is a true patriot should will
ingly give his all-his wealth, his de-
voted service, and even his life If

We are in this world war to pre-
serve American ideals, to serve the
cause of humanity, to defend the
weak, to perpetuate representative

ings of liberty to our children and

We intend to fight to the bitter,
but victorious end until Hun fright
fulness shall be succeeded by Chris
ltian righteousness, military autocracy
by civic justice and German despot-
ism by American liberty and oppor-
tunity.
We will free the German people
themselves from the slavery and
slaughter of kaiserism and merit and
receive their undying gratitude.
They will rise in freedom with the
overthrow Of Hohenzollerns and call
us blessed.

THE IVERSON CASE
SHERIFF. KELLER RETURNED
LAST EVENING FROM CAMP
DODGE, Ia.

Sheriff E. A. Keller, as a member
of the Lake county exemption board,
summoned to Camp Dodge, Ia, as a
witness in the courtmartial proceed
ings against Ingmar Iverson, of this
city, returned home last evening.
He did not talk with Iverson, in fact,
did not seek such an opportunity, and
to and from the guardhouse to the
courtroom in front of a bayonet in
the hands of a sturdy United States
soldier in khaki, aside from seeing
him in court.
The court is made up of military
officers, the Judge advocate, IL com
missioned officers, prosecuting attor-
ney and attorneys for the accused if
he chooses to employ them. In this
case Iverson acted as his own attor-
ney. Witnesses in the case are adj
mitted to the courtroom one az a
time to give their testimony. Wit
nesses are given wide latitude in the
discussion of the case in the cross ex
animation by the attorneys.
Iverson set up as>his principal plea
that he was a conscientious objector
to wal in any way or for any purpose,
and that he was the sole support of
his aged mother. In examining the
witness he dwelt upon the fact that
he had been an industrious workman
previous to his ENHANCEMENT in his
draft difficulties. While courteous in
his manner of questioning the wit
ness he accused the Lake county ex-
emption board of having shown pref
udice in his case, which of course was
denied by the witness. There was
much discussion back and forth be
tween the witness and Iverson as his
own attorney in which the witness re-
lated all of the circumstances of liver
sons failure to entrain for camp
when called upon to do so by the ex-
emption board. Iverson was keen in
his questioning to make a good case
in his favor. He dwelt at some
length on his views as a socialist to
cACuSc uliuStlI lOI ItluSluB W DcdI
arms in defense of his country, his
arguments along this line partaking
more of anarchistic ideas than social
ism. Mr.. Keller says he was thor
oughly hot" when he left the wit
ness stand after having submitted to
the gruelling cross examination by
Iverson in which there was such a
woeful lack of feeling of patriotism
for his country in his efforts to ex-
use himself for defying the military
mandates of the best nation on earth.
And while he did not discuss the trial
of the case with j. A. Johnson, also
of the exemption board and a witness
in the case, he gave every indication
of being ready to fight" when he
came out of the courtroom after hav-
ing given his testimony.
!. The proceedings in the case in the
shape of stenographic reports will be
sent to Washington for revision and
upon the findings of the higher court
sentence will be imposed. MI. Keller
gives it as his opinion from sentiment
he heard expressed that Iverson viii
be given the full limit of the law
which ranges up to 25 years impris
onment in a federal prison.

WOMEN WHO FASCINATE.

The art of fascination and attrac-
~tiveness in women is founded on good
health. Women who drag through
long hours, days, weeks and some
times months of suffering with head
aches, backache and dragging-down
pains soon wear the telltale express
sion of woe and misery. If every
such woman would only turn to that
good old-fashioned root and herb
remedy, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, to alleviate such
ailments ii would surely prove the
greatest aid to health and consequent
beauty that she has ever known.
