 The resolutions adopted follow:
 Whereas our president, whom we consider the greatest exponent of universal democracy and the the right of self determination and independence of all small. oppressed nations; and
 Whereas our president in his memorable address to congress enumerating the war aims of the world demOcracies has cham piOned the rights of some there in nations, but has omitted to in- clude the ancient nation of Lithu- ania IS one of those that should be granted independence after the war, and
 Whereas the LithuanianS num- berlnG about eight (S) million persons having a diStict history and a language different from all other languages and inhabiting the southeastern and eastern shores of the Baltic sea have for long centuries past suffered in justice, expressions and perSecu- tlOnS from their eastern. southern and western neighbOrS, and
 Whereas for centuries Lithuania maintained it's independence and respect of the world aS a nation and
 Whereas during the time of said Independence. I4ithuania gave PIbptI plOLctlIOn IfeeuOln or re- ligion. and equality before the law to all peoples within it's boundaries, and
 Whereas Lithuania rendered great service to humanity by checking the invasion of the Tar tarS and of Russia and has sui fcrred irreparable devastation and raEages of famine in the present war, and
 Whereas it is the national will Of the Lithuanian people that they be permitted unmolested to determine for themselves the form Of their future government, their political affiliations and to work out their own salvation for the future.
 Therefore Be Ii Resolved, that this meeting request the Presi- dent of the United States to in tcrcede for the 1ithuanians and their rights for self-determination and independence in his future administration of international affairs and at the peace congress to come, and further
 Be It Resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the members of congress from this city and state. and to the local press.

ALIEN ENEMY TELLS
AN UNUSUAL STORY

Sioux Falls. S. d., Aug. 2. - What
may be done to William Bischoff, an
alien enemy and not registered, who
was recently arrested at Aberdeen. is
problematical. According to the story
of the man he was BORN in Hamburg,
Germany. in 1885 and came to this
country when he was 6 years old, ac-
companted by his uncle. William Bis
choff.
He further said that his uncle took
him to a desolate spot. among the rocky
hills, some distance north of San Fran
cisco. where the elder Bischoff engaged
IN smuggling goods over from the
ChtneseS shore.
1t appears, according to the mans
story that on several occasions under
cover of dark nights a stranger made
MS way to their hut and loaded up the
two mules, with the Chinese smuggled
goods. Bischoff further asserts that he
attempted several times to speak to the
man out his uncle prevented 1t.
In 1906 he ran away and ever since
mas been roaming the country with no
delinite object in mind. He worked here
ana there and in time when war was
declared and the registration of alien
enemies was required he failed to reg.
