OFFICIAL ORDER
Finds There Is No Further Work
For Defense Councils
Words of Praise For
Various Bodies.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 2S.-The work OF
all the county councils of defense is
now terminated, and Governor Nor
beck has issued the following order
concerning these bodies;
The executive committee of the
state council OF defense, having called
my attention to the fact that conditions
creating the emergency or necessity for
its existence as now organized includ-
ing the county organizations, has prac-
tically passed, since the war with the
enemy is ended, and peace assured;
that we are entering upon n recon-
struction period and should as speedily
as possible return to normal condi-
lions, n the ordinary course OF JUS
tice and political activity, and nave
therefore recommended that orders
passed, adopted, approved and promul-
gated by said council of defense, being
designated as orders numbered con-
secutively 1 to 10, both inclusive, be
repealed, vacated and set aside.
Il, therefore, in accordance with
such recommendations, remove from
office all members of the county
ellis Of defense of this state, and ter
inmate the powers and duties of such
council.
Il furthermore hereby proclaim that
the exercise of the powers n duties
OF such councils is no longer neces-
sary for public safety, and they have.
therefore, been terminated, together
with h orders and regulations of such
councils, as well as orders Nos. / to Is,
inclusive, Of the state council of de-
Tense.
The state council Of defense will
proceed to close up all its affairs and
shall, as soon as practicable, report to
the governor, it's acts and expenditures,
and in the meantime cooperate with
the council of national defense in its
federal activities.
Il cannot refrain from expressing
my sincere thanks to the various I'M
ellis n officers for their loyal, an
selfish, untiring efforts in behalf of our
state and nation. The members, and
especially the secretary of the state
council OF defense, should be COM
mended for their patriotic services,
given without stint and without com
pensation."

FRENCH LOSSES ARE HIGH
More Than a Million Men Sacrificed in
Great Victory.
BY the Associated Press.

Paris, Dec. 21.-French soldiers to
h number of 100000 were killed
during the war, according to a state
ment by the socialist deputy Lucien
Violin in the chamber of deputies this
afternoon during an Interpolation Of
the government on. decentralization.
Deputy Violin asked hat the soldiers
be returned to the soil and the fac
tories without delay, and continued:
u betray no secret when | say that
the problem of Rehabilitation presents
itself thus: We have modified $780,
600 men; we have had about 1,4o0, 900
killed, while 100000 recovered from
wounds. We r going to demobilize
100000 reserves. territorials and
heads of families"
There are about $500, 900 men who
who will remain modified. The ques-
ton is, what does the government in
tend to do with 10000 900 Of those who
do not belong to the active forces?"
Debate on the question, which was
spirited, was featured by demands by
the socialists for the return of the
soldiers. The matter will be discussed
next week, when the government is ex-
pected to reply.

AMERICANS RIGID
IN GERMAN RULE
Promptly Halt Propaganda In
Theaters and Papers
In Occupied
Districts.
BY Associated. Press.

Coblenz, Dec. 21.-German propa-
ganda and the tendency to criticise
conditions in the district occupied by
the American forces have been alb
ruptly checked by the establishment
OF a censorship by Major General Dick
man upon the newspapers and the
theaters. His act was the first indi-
cation that the Americans purposed
tightening their grip on local affairs.
The regulations governing the press
were formally made public, but those
which apply to theaters were commu-
nicated verbally by Col. r. III. Will
liams, chief of the intelligence depart
ment, who also explained personally to
the newspaper owners what was ex-
pected of them.
The managers OF the theaters, rang
ing from opera to moving picture pro-
auctions, We're informed that there was
no objection to their giving perform
ances, except in cases where attempts
were made to inject propaganda or
criticism, either directly or by inuendo,
into the productions. Not even appar-
emily friendly comment, if it were
otherwise undesirable, would be toler-
ated, 1t was explained.
Prompt Punishment.
70 the newspaper owners it was
pointed out tlas the question of
whether they offended or not lay with
them-that the Americans would not
be bothered with censoring the publ
cations before they were issued, but
that thef first six copies from the press
should be delivered to American head
quarters. Meanwhile. the running off
of the edition could be continued. It
if were then discovered that the regu-
lations had been violated prompt punt
tive action would be taken.
Another indication of the attempt
of the American authorities to curb
any abuse of their leniency was afford
ed by the roundup of discharged Ger
man soldiers who had failed to secure
civilian clothes and by the arrest of a.
merchant who a been found profit
eering in money exchange. There will
be little of this sort of thing, however,
and SO far the public appears disposed
to conform with the order hat the
price must be the same to the Amerl-
cans as to the Germans.

THE RURAL CREDITS
BOARD SELLS BONDS
Issue Worth 81, 900 Dis.
posed of at Less Than Five
Per Cent--Money For
Farm Development.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 21.-The Rural
Credits board has just sold 100000
worth of bonds, at a shade less than
pected to supply the board with funds
to loan until May /. This sum, to-
gether with previous bonds negotiated
brings the total up to $10,4 25 900 which
the board has sold since its creation.
These sums mean that South Dakota
agricultural interests have the benefit
of about that much money for develop
ment, secured by the farmers as loans
from the board.

SOUTH DAKOTA DOCTOR
CLOSE UP TO FRONT

Beresfcrd, S. ID Dec. 21.--That ply
sicians attached to the American army
in the war zone had strenuous expert
ences is indicated by a letter received
from DR.. Walter Verify, a former South
Dakota physician, who was on active
service in France for months before the
wal ended. He writes that for a period
OF 16 weeks he was practically on the
fighting front, IL Of these weeks being
close enough to the firing lines to be
under fire. He has been in places
where it was necessary for him to walk
all night because of the fact that there
was no dry ground upon which to lie.
For q month at a time he has per-
formed his duties among the wounded
without seeing a single oma or
child.

Many efforts have been made recent
- to make the airplane invisible from
tina earth when 1t is soaring through
the ether. One idea calls for the use
of transparent material, at least for all
purposes where a canvas covering Is
used at present, such as the wings and
h %fuselage. One Of the latest ideas OF
the kind is sal to be an airplane which
uses noninflammable celluloid for the
wings and other parts, and when flying
at a few hundred feet elevation the APP
paraIus is quite invisible, according to
reports. A new muffiing box on The
motor serves to deaden the sound. One
advantage Of the transparence Is that
observations can be made in all direc~
lions.

Peat is SO antiseptic and absorbent
that 1t is used as a dressing for wounds
and is an excellent substitute for medi-
Gated cotton. This fact was recognized
many years ego in Europe, where
sphagnum peat is now extensively used
In preparing surgical dressings. Ac-
cordiDg to a scientist who has made a
detailed study of peat deposits in the
northern United States, there are many
square miles OF sphagnum bog In the
consin and Michigan that would supply
material suitable for p~ntiseptic appli-
cations. 1t will not be necessary to in
cur the expense of deep excavation, for
immense quantities Of %sphagnum can
be taken from the upper parts OF the
deposits. Sphagnum peat is also album
dant in Maine. and some is found in
New York and Pennsylvania.

Ask CONGRESS To
PROTECT FARMERS
South Dakota Market Commits
sion Fears Country Will Be
Flooded With Foreign
Grown Wheat.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 21.--The market
| commission considers that congress
should me me1norialiZed to tax such
action as may be necessary to protect
the markets and finances of the coun-
try, and to make provisions also for the
handling of the crop by proper machin-
cry of government to succeed the food
administration which will go out of
existence under the law creating it or
the declaration of peace Some OF the
Ieasons are as follows:
The government guarantee price OF
s2.26 a bushel at Chicago will stand
even though the Lever act under which
1t was fixed should become imperative.
The Canadian reciprocity law was
lRssed by congress in 1911. The lib
eral party who championed the meas
ure In Canada were defeated on the
issue and the requirements necessary
for its operation were therefore never
complied with.
The farmers of the Canadian north
west are bringing pressure to bear on
the dominion government to put the
law into operation. 1t is in force in
this country and only requires adjust
ment of duties by Canada to allow the
Canadian farmers to swamp this coun-

would not pay the fixed price for such
wheat. but the trade would use Cana
dian wheat or other wheat at a much
lower price, leaving the market glut-
ted and u wheat stranded with no
takers except the government, at a
loss to II at from 40 cents to 81 a
bushel.
Australia has 200, ooo, 900 bushels of
wheat to market now. and a new crop
coming on. The allies have contracted
for 1T at Gee per bushel. This wheat
can be delivered in the United States
at $3.50 per bushel, or 40c less than
the Chicago price.
1t is, therefore, apparent the reci-
procity law should be repealed and a
war tax amounting to the difference
between our fixed price and the price
offered by other countries for wheat
in order to protect us against impor-
tations Of wheata.
There is a guarantee that the gov
eminent will pay the fixed price for
wheat to the farmer. but there is none
to the miller that they will pay the
fixed maximum price for flour, nor is
there n guarantee hat it will pay
the guaranteed price for wheat to the
miller or other dealers.
