PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL MAX
ING UNIED STATES BONE
DRY" AFTER JULY /, 1919

Washington, Nov. %. - President
Wilson yesterday signed the emerg-
ency agricultural appropriation bill
with it's legislative rider providing for
national prohibition from nsxt July /
until the American army is demobil-
lied.
The prohibition amendment to the
agricultural measure caused a long
fight in the Senate. Officials of the
shipping board opposed its adoption
on the ground that taking beer from
shipbuilders would make for discon-
tent which would be reflected in their
work.
Secretary Daniels, who was called
before the Senate committee holding
the hearing, combatted this theory
saying that after sale of intoxicants
around naval establishments had
been stopped the output of the work
men increased.
Unless the presidential proclama-
ton under the Food Control act is
rescinded, the prohibition amendment
will affect only the manufacture OF
wine, for the brewing of all beer
must cease December 1, under the
Presidents proclamation
The manufacture of whiskey was
stopped soon after the nation enter
ed the war.
Under the amendment the manu-
facture of wine will cease next May
i, and, should brewing of beer b.
allowed to continue after December
1, it also would stop May 1, under
the new law.
After next June 80 no intoxicating
LIQUORS of any kinds may be sold in
this country for beverage purposes
except for export, until such time as
the President by proclamation de-
clares rehabilitation completed.
The amendment also prohibits the
importation of any Intoxicating bev-
erages into this country from the
time the bill is approved by the
President until the rehabilitation of
the army is completed, probably for
two years.

DIES OF PNEUMONIA IN FRANCE
Leopold Botz Died in Military Hos
pital Oct. 10, 1918.

Leopold Botz Died in Military Hos
pital Oct. 10, 1918.
Henry Botz received the sad tidings
from the government Saturday morn
ing that his son, Private Leopold Botz,
had died in France of pneumonia No
vember 10, 1918.
Leopold was in the first draft, but
was not called before June this year,
when he made application to be allow
ed to enlist and was indicted into SER
vice at the State Farm school, st.
Paul, June 15, 1913. He passed his ex-
animation as an expert carpenter and
was transferred to the Engineers and
sent to Washington Barracks. Later
he was located at Camp Merritt, N.
j., Fort Mary and other camps. He
was sent to France with a bunch of
picked men. On October IL his sister,
Mrs. John Gritzmacher, received a
card announcing that he had arrived
safely overseas. This was the last
word received from him until the an
nouncement of his passing on by tbs
government last Saturday morning.
LeopsaS, was born on the farm home
south of Sank Centre November 15,
1894. Practically his entire life was
spent in this neighborhood, except for
a short time spent in Canada, Mon
tana and Texas. He took up his mill
tary duties gladly and unquestionably
gave his government the best service
possible. Besides his father, the fol-
lowing are the immediate family lei
to mourn: Will Jr., Joe G. M, and
Simon H., brothers, and Mrs. John
Gritzmacher and Verena, sisters.
His father takes his death very
philosophically. He stated to the
Herald that he was gratified that his
son realized his Americanism suf-
ficiently to be anxious to serve his
country in the victorious effort to
subdue a villianous autocracy. The
Herald joins the entire community in
extending sincere sympathy to the be-
reaved father and brothers and sis
tiers in their sacrifice.

MINI HAS ONE HUN
d }i1n s, zyaIE THOUSAND
Me- 1sttors ~ SERVICE

One hundred and nine 10 Ydnd
men is Minnesota's contributions to
Uncle Sans army and navy since
this country declared a state of wal
existed between America and Ger
many, in April 1917, according to the
biennial report of Adjutant General
w. F. Rhinow, soon to be issued.
The figures, which do not include
limited service men, show that $4,000
men entered the service through the
selective draft, while $4,000 enlisted
in the navy and approximately 10000
in the Regular army. Three thous-
and joined the Marines.
Of the total number, less than z
per cent Of the men have had their
names entered on the casualty list
This is approximately 1000, and is
less than one for every thousand in
habitants in the state.
The report reviews the work of the
draft boards throughout the state
since the passage of the selective
service act in May, 1917, and speaks
highly of the service given free by
attorneys who served on legal adj
visory boards.
The number Of limited service men
has not been determined, but the
figure is expected to be large.

Saturday evening Mrs. John Allen
received wire from the Adjutant
Generals office in Washington stating
that her son Howard had been official
ly reported as killed in action in
France on October second.
This Wednesday morning Mrs. Al
len received letter from her boy
dated Oct. 80, in which he gives the
information that he is confined in
Base Hospital No. LIS, suffering with
shrapnel wound in his left arm near
the shoulder and one in the right
thigh. The letter states that his
wounds are healing fast.
Under the circumstances Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen undoubtedly feel that they
have much to be thankful for this
Thanksgiving day.
Howard is a member of Co. B.,
10th Machine Gun Battalion. These
boys were always stationed where the
fighting was the thiclest and it can
readily be taken for granted that
Howard made the Hun pay dearly for
his injury. The Herald publishes
herewith the letter received from tn
young man Wednesday morning:
France, Oct. 80, 1918.
Mrs. John H. Allen,
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Mother Your letter of Aug.
22nd received and was glad to hear
from you. Suppose you have received
my letter of Oct. 21st. Was wounded
by shrapnel September 18th and
since then have been in different
camps and hospitals, coming here tc
Base Hospital No. lis several days
ago. The government has several
huge hospital buildings here, the one
where I am quartered holding 140O
men, so have heard. My wounds, one
of which is,in my left arm near the
shoulder and the other in my right
thigh are healing up fast, have been
able to walk around little during the
last few days. Will be alright I think
in few weeks or a month.
I do not know whether will be
sent back to. the lines, again or not,
but hope not anyway. I see by this
mornings paper that Austria had
quit fighting, that ought to hasten the
end of the war some. Anyway / hope
so, the slaughter Of Americans during
the past month has been something
awful. Although large slice of
French territory has been won back.
AS to above though, will be unable to
say much.
The enclosed card was given me
several days ago. If it reaches you in
time, Nov. goth, follow the instruc-
tons and send me a full sized box of
assorted candy. If it dies not reach
you in time, no matter then. Have
been hungry for sweet stuff ever since
l have been in this country and hav
been unable to get anything exceps
French chocolate which is no good.
Follow the instructions on the coupon
and if. it does not reach you in time,
consult your postmaster and try tc
