Dam Gives Way
And Releases
Wall of Water
(RY Associated Press.l

Blair, Wis, March 21.-Releasing
great wall Of water that washed
out roads, tore away q mill, flooded
lowlands and plunged Whitehall,
Wis. into darkness, the dam at this
place gave way with a roar late yes
terday. Railroad men were watch
ing the bridges Of the Greenbay and
Western railroad. but early today
they were reported to have withstood
the strain.
The water was backed up for two
miles above the dam. With it went
great ice foes, that carried away a
section OF the mill as they crashed
through the break. The electric
light plant at Whitehall was put out
of commission. Candles and oil lights
were resotted to last night.

respect of person or class or parti-
cular interest?
This is high test. 1t can be met
only by those who have genuine
sympathy with the mass of men. and
real insight into their needs and ep-
portunities, and purpose which is
purged alike Of selfish and of parti-
san intention. The party which rises
to this test, will receive the sup
port Of the people, because it de-
serves It."
Secretary Tumulty told the diners
that in his opinion they had listened
to a letter which embodied the gos-
pei of democracy Of this new day.

OPPOSE TAKING
SOLDIER VOTE
War Department Holds 1t
Would Interfere Greatly
With Efficiency

Washington, March 21.-A formal
recommendation against any attempt
to record the soldier vote in France
for elections held during the war,
has been prepared by the war de-
partment. After an assessment Of
the opinions Of General Pershing and
his staff and OF department officials
on this side, ii was learned last
night, the department has determin-
ed that no practical method OF TAX
ing the votes Of members Of the eX-
peditionary forces can be devised.
The subject was brought up re-
Gently by a western state, which
proposed a scheme OF its own for
obtaining the vote Of its citizens In
France. While it might be possible
for a single state to accomplish this,
the army holds that extension Of that
privilege to all states would impose
n burden upon the military forces at
the front that would seriously i'm
pair their efficiency. New York state
obtained the vote Of strictly New
York military units in France last
winter, sending a commission to
France for that purpose. 1t is point
ed out, however, that the troops were
then in training camps and not
actually engaged at the front, and
also that the process OF replacement
Of casualties had not set in. The
situation now is wholly changed and
the time is not far distant when ev-
cry active division in France will be
composed of men from many widely
scattered states. The localization Of
the divisions as they leave this side
virtually is swept aside by the re-
placement policy.

RANCHER lSHELD
FORTWOMURDERS
Sensational Developments
Come In Soule Case In
Montana Court
(By Associated Press.)

MBsoula. Mont. March 21.-De-
claring that Thompson Falls had
been made the blacklist spot on the
map of Montana" by the behavior
of attorneys in the case, District
Judge r. Lee MCCulloch yesterday
told Prosecutor Wade Parks of
Sanders county that he would call
upon Atty. Gen. S. c. Ford to
prosecute Arthur Soule, accused. OF
murder at the appeal term of court.
Judge McCulloch made the state
ment in open court when Vacating
an order admitting Soule to bail in

charges Of first degree murder. He
is accused or having killed his Is
year-old nephew. Benjamin Soule, in
a fight in the hills last January, and
Of Staying his own infant daughter
81 years ago.
Sensational Developments.
The arrest Of Soule, a wealthy
rancher living near Thompson Falls,
has been followed by sensational
developments. County Attorney
Parks first accused Coroner +. T.
McCaffery and DR.. r. d. Peek, own
er Of a hospital Of attempting TO
hamper the prosecution. Later he
had Miss Rose Lekoyttz, a nurse in
Peek's hospital, arrested as an ac-
cessory after the fact, alleging that
she conspired to conceal the nature
Of wounds suffered by Arthur Soule
in his fight with Ben Soule.
Miss Lekovitz promptly swore out
warrants against Parks, ]. Melosh,
a Spokane detective and w. b. Cor
nell, Parks stenographer, charging
them with subornation Of perjury.
Melosh was found guilty and fined
$50 before a justice of the peace.
Parks and Cornell are 10 be tried
Saturday, and Miss Lekovitz on
March Is.
Tuesday Judge McCulloch blamed
Parks and A. S. Ainsworth, attor-
ney for the defense, for the scandal
He told Parks that If he had gone
ahead promptly with the trial Of the
case, all subsequent trouble would
have been averted and then said that
he would ask the attorney general
to take charge Of the prosecution.

CRv Aaaoelated Preas-n

Chicago, March 2l.-"Keep the
world afraid and il IL thinks you are
a peace monarch, rattle your sword
and devastate the lands Of those who
oppose you"-that was the policy OF
the German Kaiser as told by the
emperor himself to Prof. William H.
SchOfield Of Harvard university. so
the professor declared in an address
here last night. Professor SchofieId
was an exchange professor at Berlin
for many years and became init
mately acquainted with the Kaiser,
he said
He forced German professors to
spread the seeds OF his policies in
their teachings" Proff SChofield said,
and tried to force the exchange
professors to aid him.
Whenever l talked with the en-
peror he showed expectation that
would return 10 America and spread
his gospel.
Ten years ago he told me Of his
plans to manipulate the Jews and
Catholics and his dreams Of a world
empire. At that time he even
predicted that the United States
would some time be caught I'M
awares and have to resort to con-
scription-but he did not seem to
think that we would he lghting him

new FEDERAL
FOOD RULING IN
EFFECT TODAY

Victory Bread or close" is the
new slogan of the United States Food
Administration, which has recently
issued the following order:
'All bakers who are not using
the required 20 per cent Of wheat
-four substitutes in bread and
rolls, must cease baking those
products on March 20, and
must not resume operations I'M
til they are prepared TO use the
substitutes as required upon pain
of revocation of license. This APP
plies to bread and rolls only.
Where a surplus of potatoes eX-
lists bakers are urged to use
them to the limit Of their ability
four pounds Of potatoes being re-
quired in place Of one pound OF
substitute"
The baking division of the United
States Food Administration offers the
following practical and valuable sug-
gestion to all bakers:
1t is not necessary and perhaps not
altogether desirable that bakers
should limit themselves to the use OF
one wheat -four substitute in baking
Victory bread. Substitutes may be
combined in various ways providing
the required per cent and combina-
tons may be found which will pro-
duce a bread of better quality than
that containing one substitute only
Some mixtures Of rice and corn have
been found to work better than corn
alone. Potatoes and a cereal sub
stitute make a better bread than
when potatoes alone are used as the
substitute.
Many bakers have found that by
using mixtures of substitutes they
may Offset the objections that may be
found in using one substitute only
The character Of bread produced IL
less affected by the addition or sub
traction of a part of it's cereal con-
tents than by a complete change in
it. 1t follows that less difficulty Is
experienced in the bakeshops and
with customers if changes are grad
ually made. Moreover, by using a
mixture Of substitutes, bakers can
keen up their stocks more easily and
will not be dependent upon one source
of supply. 1t is, therefore, recon-
mended that wherever possible bak-
ers experiment with and make use OF
combinations of substitutes in pro-
ducing Victory bread.
For bakers who can secure potatoes
but who have found it difficult to use
them exclusively in Victory bread, the
following suggestion is made: In
stead of using so pounds Of potatoes
to so pounds of wheat flour, the bak-
er may use 40 pounds of potatoes and
10 pounds Of corn meal or some other
cereal substitute, to so pounds OF
wheat -four. Potatoes should be cook
ed. but the cereal should not be scald-
ed. as the potatoes will retain suffi-
Gent moisture to give the bread the
proper keeping qualities. If this
method is followed, its volume will be
better than If potatoes alone were
used.

Plans for Election
AZ -AlssncIatad PressN

Milwaukee, Wis, March 21.-Con-
gressman Irvine L. Lenroot, is due in
Milwaukee tonight to consult with
members of the Republican state
central committee on plans for the
forthcoming special senatorial cleo
ton.
The scant returns in from the
backwoods overnight did not change
the relative standing Of the result
Of Tuesdays primary. With the
vote complete in twenty-five coun-
ties and practically complete from
others, LenroOt today had a lead of
1925 over James Thompson, the La
Toilette candidate
The state central committee will
proceed on the assumption of Len
roots election, as they believe that
there isn't one chance in a hundred
that official returns will change the
result
Joseph z. Davies is here and as
the election takes place April 2, less
than two weeks hence, both Davies,
the Democratic nominee, and Len
root are wasting no time in getting
into action.

CONFIDENCE
GANG BROKEN

Frank Moran and ]. J. Burke, alias
Duffy, arrested in Fargo by Chief OF
Police Dahlgren and Sergeant Morton
| Sydness last winter on a fugitive
warrant from Great Falls, for operat-
ing the old fake race game, were
sentenced to the Montana state
prison to serve from five to ten years
each, following their conviction al
Great Falls, according to Associated
Press dispatches.
Thomas Gaffney. the third
confidence man, was returned to
Great Falls from Kansas City. He
had separated John Hovde, a
Geraldine, Mont. farmer from $1,000
in cash. Hovde was sent to Des
Moines for the operation. Gaffney
was also convicted Of the same
charge as Moran and Burke, and
drew from five to ten years.
Burke and Moran were arrested in
a fashionable hotel Of Fargo with a
complete bunco outfit in their posses
sion, including a wire tapping layout.
No charge was placed against the
woman who was taken into custody
with Moran and Burke.
Great Falls officers claim the con-
viction of these men breaks up one of
the cleverest gangs of confidence men
ever operating in Montana.

President Sends Message to
New Jersey Democrats
Through Tumulty
PARTIES MUST
SERVE HUMANITY
Old Slogans Have Lost Sig
nificance In These Stir
ring Times
CBy Associated l-ress.l

Newark, N. j., March 21.-New
Jersey Democratic leaders assembled
here last night for a reorganization
banquet and were greeted by a mes
sage from President Wilson as ma
tional head Of the party, calling upon
them to rise to the test of new
time when old party slogans have
lost their significance; aand to COM
NIT themselves to disinterested SER
vice to humanity.
In a letter presented by Secretary
Tumulty, the President said the
necessity for his staying "on the
job" made 1t impossible for him to
be present.
The Presidents letter said in part:
Every sign Of these terrible days
of war and revolutionary change,
when economic and social forces are
being released upon the world whose
effect no political seer dare venture
to conjecture, bids us search our
hearts through and through and
make them ready for the birth of a
new day, a day we hope and be-
lfeve, Of greater opportunity and
greater prosperity for the average
mass Of struggling men and women
and Of greater safety and opportun-
ity for children.
Old Slogans Mean Nothing.
The old party slogans have lost
their significance and will mean
nothing to the voter Of the future, for
the war Is certain to change the
mind Of Europe as we'll as the mind
of America. Men everywhere are
searching democratic principles to
their hearts, in order to determine
their soundness, their sincerity, their
adaptability to the real needs of their
life, and every man with any vision
must see that the real test of JUS
tice and right action is presently to
come as it never came before. The
men in the trenches, who have been
freed from the economic serfdom to
which some Of them had been ac-
customed, will, IL is likely, return to
their homes with a new view and a
new impotence of all mere political
phrases and will demand real think
ing and sincere action.
The days of political and econ
omic reconstruction which are ahead
Of us no man can now definitely as
sess, but we know this, that every
program must be shot through and
through with utter disinterestedness
that no party must try to serve it
self. but every party must try to
serve humanity, and that the task
is a very practical one, meaning that
every program, every measure in ev-
cry program. must be tested by this
question and this question only: Us
III Just: is il for the benefit Of the
average man, without influence or
