SIOUX FALLS Is HARD
HIT BY THE ORDER

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 1.-The
heavy inroad OF the selective draft and
General Crowder's recent ruling plac-
ing walters in the nom essential class,
has played havoc with several Sioux
Falls cafes. In one cafe employing
nine men. five were included in the
June draft. Several other cafes were
affected to a lighter degree.
The cafetaria style of public eating
places undoubtedly will make it's APP
pearance more extensively than here
tofore. In several cases where cafes
stayed open all night, they were forced
to close at 8 o'clock in the evening
on account Of insufficient help.

by President Wilson with French
statesmen, it was learned here today,
and the determination Of definite
policy on which all the allied coun-
tries and the United States may agree,
will be one of the first things under
taken at the preliminary meetings
which are to precede the peace confer
ence. Every proposed solution so far
is said to have been blocked by the un-
answered question of who is qualified
to speak for the Russian empire.
The government at Omsk, of which
the United States and other govern
ments have expected much, is in the
hands of dictator and split into fac
tiOns. The entente nations have not
given up hope that the, Omsk author
tiles may yet evolve a Stable form Of
government for Russia, but this has
not been accomplished.
