WAR ELIMINATES
PROF. TRAMP
in NORTHWEST
Only Few Lonely Stragglers
Left Since Work Or Fight
Order Became Effective.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 3-War has
virtually blotted ont the grimy trail of
the professional tramp in the North
west, according to railroad officers
to the Western coast.
The Northwestern tier of states,
long the summer playground of the
box car transient, have so vigorously
enforced the work or fight" order and
other war measures that the tramps,
who formerly appeared in droves af-
ter having wintered In the cities, have
been reduced to few lonely strag-
glers.
"And the demand for labor is so
keen that town policemen and village
constables are quick to draft these
stragglers and put them to work." de-
clared an official of railroad with
headquarters here.
1.-THE armed guards about railroad
yards, bridges and tunnels have also
been a thorn in the side of the care.
free wanderer. He is in constant dan
ger of becoming target while loafing
around his Old haunts."
In past years towns which were the
headquarters of farm laborers were
packed with professional gamblers,
gunner and thugs who devised var
ious schemes of fleecing the worker
of his money. They mingled with the
men, wore the clothes of the worker
and could be weeded ont by officers
only with difficulty.
The war has, in the opinion of the
authorities, sounded the death knell of
this small army which annually reap
ed golden harvest.

HUN CLERGY FACTOR
IN PREVENTION Of
FOOD DISTURBANCES

fBy Associated Press to The Banner1
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1.-The ser.
vices of the clergy have been enlisted
in various parts of Germany to assist
in keeping down the growing popular
discomfort over food difficulties. In
the diocese of Munster, Westphalia,
the official war food department"
has arranged for special lectures
throughout the diocese, at which the
local priests and clergy will preside
and emissaries of the department will
furnish information, instruction and
arguments designed to answer com
plants regarding food scarcity and
against the severity of punishments
for small transgressions of the food
regulations.
There are also many complaints in
the country districts over the intri-
cacy and inadequacy of the food reg
ulations, and these complaints gener-
ally reach first of all the ears of the
parish priests. The Rheniah West,
phalian Gazette, in an editorial ap-
proving of the scheme to enlist the
assistance of the clergy says:
"The last few months before the
harvest will be the most trying time
of all. Therefore the food department
should remain in constant touch with
the priests and benefit by their obser-
vations among the common people,"
