New York - Especially - George
Sylvester Viereck, editor Of the
Fatherland. the name Of which was
changed to Viereck's American
Weekly when this country entered
the war, and who is said to have ad-
mitted to federal authorities that he
received many thousands Of dollars
for spreading German propaganda,
revealed to Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Becker here his plan for max
ing the United States pro- German.
Briefly, his idea was for the Ger
man government to secretly Dur-
chase leading newspapers in every
large American city and by the
subtle use of propaganda wean the
American people away from the
cause of the entente allies. His pro
posaL, which he thinks would have
meant an expenditure of $50,000,000,
was discussed at various conferences
attended by DR.. Bernhard Dernburg,
German propaganda chief; DR.. AL
bert, German financial agent in this
country; DR.. Carl A. Fluehrs and
others.
.Vierecks ambitious project fell
through and DR.. Albert and other
German officials furnished the mon
ey with which DR.. Edward A. Rum
ely is alleged to have. purchased the
Evening Mail.
Vierecks thriftiness is revealed
by the fact that he is now worth
about 100000. After the United
States entered the war and the Ger
man government withdrew it's sup
port from his paper, he organized an
employment bureau which he called
the Agricultural Labor Relief Ac-
cording to the testimony of an en-
ploye this organization has collect
ed 100000. the most of which went
to Viereck. l

Machinery For Listing Of
Men From Is To As
Set In Motion

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. T.--Machinery
for the registration OF $4,000 North
Dakotans between the ages of l8 and
45 was set in motion this morning by
Adjutant General Fraser in response
to a message from Provost Marshal
General CroWder.
A registrar will be appointed in ev-
cry election precinct in the state, and
where the number of prospective reg
istrants in any precinct exceeds so,
two registrars will be appointed, as
General Crowder requests one regis
trar for every 80 people. These reg
tstrars will be appointed by the local
boards, who already have been mott
fed by General Fraser to make their
selections.
Gencra1 Crowder asks that all the
registration machinery of local and
district draft boards be SO perfected
that it can be set in motion and be
running smoothly within a few hours
after the Presidents proclamation
calling for the registration of men
between the ages Of IS and As, which
will Immediately follow the passage
by congress of the new selective serv-
ice bill. Action upon this bill is ex-
pectej by the last Of this month or
the first Of September, and General
Crowder anticipates that the new
registration will be held the fore part
Of September
While the registration age limits
have not been agreed upon by con-
gress, all preparations are being made
on an 18-to-45 basis. On this basis,
North Dakota is expected to register
rs, 900 men, as compared with $4,000
between the ages of~21 and 81 regis

federal district court this morning,
assessed Frank Kunz of Bismarck a
fine OF $1,000 and sentenced him to
six months in the Cass county Jail
upon conviction, Of having imported
SO quarts Of whisky under the guise
Of plumbers supplies" Kunz asked
time to file bond for an appeal.
John Long of Bismarck, convicted
of bringing in eight quartssof whisky
from Glendive for a Christmas cele-
bration, was given the minimum SEN
fence Of 20 days in the Burleigh
county Jail. A number Of affidayits
were submitted in support Of Longs
good character and Judge Amidon
stated that his personal investiga-
ton had convinced him that Long
was generally a Iaw-abiding citizen.

The man who tries to bring

They do not want this stuff on

brought it In by suitcase, and they
have had their chauffeurs bring it
In for them from their summer

SIXTEEN HOURSON
BRINKOF NIAGARA
Two Men Exhausted After
Night Spent In Dan

(By Associated t'ress.)

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Aug. T.
After being nlarooned on a sand
scow within 1000 feet of the brink of
Niagara Falls, for 16 hours, George
Harris Of Buffalo and Gus Lofberg, a
Swedish sailor, were rescued by the
Youngstown life saving crew this
morning.
The scow broke away from a tug
late yesterday while being used in
power channel and with the two
Amen on board the scow was carried
Into the upper rapids and directly
toward the crest Of the Horseshoe
Falls. F
A shelving rock off the head Of
Goat Island caught the unwieldy
craft and held it, saving the men
from quick death. The life savers
succeeded in getting a line to the
boat last night, but the length Of
the rope was so great and the scow
SO low in the water that the life
line sagged into the swift current
and it was impossible to operate a
breaches, buoy.
The life savers abandoned their
work at midnight. Searchlights
were kept on the wreck and an
electrical sign was rugged up show
ing the word "rest" so that the men
on the scow would know that they
had not been abandoned.
This morning second line was
shot across the, wreck from the roof
OF the power house where the shore
end of the cable was anchored and
with it the breaches buoy was haul
ed out by the two men. Lofberg
helped Harris into the breaches and
he was brought in. The weight of
his body on the rope caused it to
sag deep in the current and there
was danger that the extra strain on
the scow would tear it loose from
its uncertain position on the rock.
Harris was exhausted when he was
taken from the breaches buoy.

that one of the first effects Of gov

Negotiations were already under
way fer consolidating a number of
competing telephone systems when
the government assumed control.
The postmaster general will not dis
turb these negotiations. When an
agreement is reached between the
companies it will be submitted to the
postUffice department for approval.
Where no negotiations with a view
of consoljd ation have yet begun, the
postmaster general says, there is no
objection to the companies taking
mp negotiations with the understand
ing that any agreement reached
will have to be approved.
