war neutrals will have no wish to
destroy either lives or goods, but why
should their ships ever carry German
products?
We do not drown women and chli-
dren of neutral nations and celebrate
car glory by striking a medal to the
deed. But why should we associate
with those whose ideas OF justice and
right are so different from ours? Even
the pacifsts should be willing to let
those people alone, to associate WITH
their own kind. Waht could we have
in common with them?
The Germans have struck US IN the

RESISTS OFFICERSC.
Resident of Richmond Has Thrilling
Experience on Train.


That while Ell route to Richmond Or
4 train of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad he Was
held up by two officers of the prohibi-
ton department who demanded that
they be allowed to search his luggage
for possibly concealed liquor and that
they desisted only after he had almost
beaten them into insensibility is t.
startling statement of J. Clifford Skei.
ton, manager of the General Equip
ment Company, of Richmond, in max
ing complaint both to the railroad of
ficials and the prohibition department
of the action of the officers.
Mr.. Skeletons story is co the etfec:
that he was carrying in his suitcase
valuable government papers. While
the train was in Fairfax county, at Il
small station, two men, who repre-.
scented themselves as officers of the
prohibition department, appeared 1t
his side and demanded to know the
contents Of his luggage. He is said
10 have informed them that they had
no right to search his luggage, where
upon they, it charged, attempted to 20
so bv force. Mr.. Kelton resisted. Be-
ing of stalwart frame Mr.. Shelton
bested his opponents according to the
story and soon had them hors de com,
bat.
It was reported by Mr. Shelton that
one of the men drew gun but was
relieved of it by a bystander. Wher
the would-be searcllers no longer per-
sisted in their efforts Mr.. Shelton said
he compelled them to examine the con-
tents Of his suitcase, which showed
that there was no liquor there, but only
important government papers. 1t is
understood that high official of the
prohibition department was aboard the
train at the time Of tie ARRAY but he
took no part in the proceedings.
Mr.. Shelton is said 20 have ex-
pressed the determination to prose
cute The case to the full extent of the
law and with that in view has en-
ploycd an attorney TO institute the
proper proceedings for him. Mr.. Skel-
ten said that he was engaged on i'm
portant business for the government
Though Mr. Shelton was only slightly
injured in the ARRAY, tile officers are
said to be still suffering the results o.
his stiff resistance. He has expressed
great Indignation over the affair
which occurred several days ago.

WILL CONTINUE RAIDS
Germany Sending Submarines Over
In Relays to Harass Shipping, Say
Naval Officials

Washington, jane 13.-That Ger
MANY intends to persist for some time
in her American coast raids was the
conviction of navy men today. The
destruction of two Norwegian steam
ers off the Capes of the Chesapeake
shattered any lingering idea that
the coast was rid Of the pests for the
time being.
incidentally, if the original story
concerning the looting OF the copper
laden Vindeggen proves true-that
she wac pluckeG for two days I'M
hinderei and then sunk-some cues
tion as to the vigilance of the coast
patrols may be raised. In eXplana-
ton, however, it may be said that
the navy protests it is doing it's ut
most with available ships, and that
il will, by no means, weaken its de-
strover patrol abroad.
Under pressure, the navy has adj
mitted the truth Of yesterdays state
inent concerning brush between a
patrol and a submarine.
No new sinkings were reported to-
day.
Germany may be conducting her
submarine campaign in American
water by sending U-boafs here in re-
lavs--one or two week. This is one
of the theories now entertained by
high officials of the Navy Depart
nert.

( MOTHERS LIBERTY LOAN

Giving seven sons to her country,
but too poor to buy the seven-starred

perience of mother in Redwood City,

THAT'S right, boys" she replied
"Gcd bless you!'
And so they marched away.
They made out aliotments for hes

some incxplicable hitch, Mrs. Wyman
has receiced but $50 month. 1t is
not enough for her and the two young
children left at home to live on. She
supplements the meager income by
taking care of the nsighbors' babies

ANXIETY IN GERMANY

There is very real and justiti&ble
anxiety in Germany about the raw
material crisis which will engulf the
central empires after the war, says the
Washington Herald. Raw material
seems to be thought the only requisite
for the restoration of a prosperous
German trade.
1t will be important, but it will by
no means be all that Germany viii
need. She will find it much easier 20
buy things than to sell things made in
Germany. Many OF the sources o.
supply for raw materials which she so
long enjoyed, before the war will no,
be open to her, opportunities for man
ufacture will in consequence be less.

in marketing what she may be ~

THE COMING
STATE MEETING

Community singing will open the
session of the annual meeting of the
North Dakota Federation of Wo-
mans clubs to be held at Grand Forks
in October. Mrs. S. S. Caswell of VAL
ley City, chairman of the department
of music will lead, and each session
will have thirty minutes devoted to
singing. Patriotic songs and other
songs suitable for community singing
will be included in the half-hour pro-
gram and much stress is to be laid on
the Importance of community singing
throughout the sessions. If singing
keeps up the spirit of the soldier boys.
and is said to keep them in good hui
NOR, and to invest them with about
twice as much "pep" as they have
when they don't sing, then the COM
munity singing must be good for club
women who are soldiers of the home
army.
The program contains so many ex-
cellent items that each day is going
to be crammed full of good things.
The fact that the slogan for the Fed
Grafton is Loyalty and Simplicity,
means Of course that the most effec-
tive e Of doing good war work
will be the topic of chief Importance,
and that only the very simplest and
most unpretentious arrangements will
characterize the programs. In addi-
ton to speeches by distinguished club
women, and men Of prominnce in the
educational, club and patriotic activi-
ties of u own state, there will be a
visit to the studio of Miss Margaret
Gable, of the ceramics department of
the North Dakota University. Miss
Gable will talk informally on North
Dakota Clay in the Making" and then
will conudct the visitors" thru her
studios.
Professor Palo Conte, of Wesley
College conservatory, a pianist. or
ganist and composer of note, has con-
sented to give a half hours organ
program during one of the sessions.
Four minute speeches on timely top
les, the annual message of the feder-
alton president, Mrs. H. G. Wick, of
Cavalier, speeches on Y. M. C. A. and
~. W. C. A. work, food conservation,
Red Cross, Liberty Loan, and child
welfare will be included in the pro-
grams.
The American Library Association
has announced that a soldier from an
eastern training camp will come to adj
dress the meeting, and tell something
OF the Library associations activities
in helping to win the war.
Other speakers and features of the
program are to be announced later.

EMPTY CARS SPEED
FOR WHEAT BELT

Several long trains Of empty box
cars are being rushed to the North
west under orders of Director Gener-
al McAdoo to relieve the acute car
shortage in the wheat belt which has
resulted in the closing of several ele-
vators.
A prominent railroad official yester-
day said that there are three prime
causes for the a shortage.
First-The farmers are marketing
their wheat directly from the thresher
because there is nothing to be gained
by holding, as the price is fixed by
government regulations.
Second-Owing to the increased
general traffic the roads have not been
able to store lars in anticipation of
the grain movement and most of the
Northwest roads went into the grain
shipping season with less than rs per
cent Of their own cars on hand, while
in other years they had from 1856 to
$50 per cent OF. the number of cars
they own on hand.
Third-The interruption Of unload
ing work because Of the two holidays
last weeklSunday and Labor Day
which caused a large number of ears
to accumulate at terminal points.
There were 5000 cars on track in Min
neapolis last Tuesday morning while
the unloading capacity is only 1000 q
day. 49,
The yield of wheat has been far in
excess of what had been anticipated.
Yields of from forty-fve to, fifty:
four bushels to the acre are reported
from the Red River valley.

ONE KILLED, ONE HURT IN
BATTLE WITH BANDIDTS

Colorado Springs, Sept. 14.-Chief
of City Detectives, John Rowan was
killed and John D. Riley, a, city de-
t~ective, probably Totally wounded in
a battle with robbers in the down.
town district late this afternoon. The
robbers are thought to be three men
who are alleged to have held up and
robbed a train near Paola, Kas., last
July 10.
The bandits were run down near an
