DEATHBED TALE AIDS ALIEN
c. Lobert of ST. Louis Learns He was
. Born in Brazil, Not Ger
many.

st. Louisa deathbed secret, just
disclosed to Charles Lobert of St.
Louis by his sister, Miss Emma Lobert
of Saginaw, Mich, reveals to him he
was not born in Germany, as he has
believed, and consequently is not an
alien enemy. Neither does he have to
ask for naturalization papers or a zone
permit.
Lobert always believed he was born
in Germany. He served in the Span
ish-American war. He used his honor
able discharge papers whenever he
was questioned at polling place on
election day. Last week he went to
recruiting Office to join the United
States Guards and was rejected be-
cause he was German citizen.
He wrote to his sister and received
word from her that he was born in
Brazil while his mother was on trip.
She had kept it secret through pride
dn Germany, but on her deathbed had
related it to her daughter, on condi-
tion that she not reveal it to her broth
er.

SENDS ONLY SON TO WAR
Widow in Straitened Circumstances,
Sacrifices Her Sole Support in
Cause of Humanity.

Denver, Colo.-Although widowed
and in straitened circumstances, Mrs.
Clara Doss Burrows, one of the few
living descendants Of the famous
Adams family, urged her only son, Earl
Gardner Doss, to enlist for service II
Uncle Sans fighting forces.
The young man is now at the Mare
Island Marine corps training station
Young Doss' great-grandfather, Eli

''tea party" in Boston Harbor just
prior to the Revolutionary war. His
grandfather, Gardner Adams, was a
cousin of President John Quincy
Adams, and fought in the United
States navy throughout the war of
1912. The boys uncle, another John
Quincy Adams, brother of Mrs. Bur-
rows, was with the Union forces in
the Civil war.
Mrs. Burrows sacrificed her sole sup
port when young Doss enlisted, but,

TO DO RELIEF WORK
Red Cross Trains Women for
Civilian Service.
Series of Institutes in Home Science
to Fit Them as Social Serv-
ice Workers.

Washington.-Scientifc training and
efficient service are the keynotes Of
the civilian relief work which has just
been inaugurated throughout the coun-
try by the American Red Cross.
Contrary to the popular belief that
most of the Red Cross is being done by
unframed volunteer workers, the lat
est venture of the organization is char
acterized by a series of Institutes in
home science for the purpose Of train
in: hen to do social service work
among the families of our fighting men.
Financial aid for the families Of
our soldiers and sailors is only small
part of the problem which these fam
lilies will have to face" said Mrs. Wal
ter S. Ufford, head of the District Of
Columbia Civilian Relief department
of the Red Cross. '"There is an urgent
need for trained community workers
who can analyze the problem Of the
families to be served and bring them
into touch with the community re-
sources which can help to strengthen
family life. Trained workers will be
required to cope with the abnormal
situation in which the war has placed
the wives and children of the men at
the front"
The Red Cross Institutes consist Of
a six weeks course which follows a
syllable prepared by Porter Lee of the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Particular emphasis is placed by
Mrs. Ufford upon the value of the
work outlined in the syllabus, not only
to relieve the stress of war difficulties,
but to meet the needs of reconstruc-
ton that is to follow the war. Only
through scientific effort, Mrs. Ufford
believes, can an adequate attempt be
made to readjust the economic and So
cial relationships when disabled sol
diers and sailors come back from the
front.

laoREAsE IN CI7lhi: FED $500 NUR5S.1:S
1000 Per Cent Increase Is
Sought by Government.
Nurses Being Called for Duty to Meet
Needs Of the United States
Army.

Observation-Disclosures thousand
Eve hundred nurses will be needed in
ife army nurse corps of the medical
department, according to present esti-
mates based on an army of 100000
men. The present strength of the
corps is about $500. Increasing the
enrolment by nearly 1000 per cent in
q year is the task confronting the
corps.
Daily numbers Of nurses are being
called for to meet immediate needs
in army hospitals in the United States
and for duty overseas. The pres
ent rate of enrolment does not meet
the demands. Hospitals at National
Guard and National army camps still
need 371 nurses to bring the quotas of
all up to the minimum considered
necessary-65 each.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed Rumber some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed are be-
ing waived. According to estimates of
The nursing committee Of the general
medical board of the council of nation
al defense, there are between $4,000
and 10000 registered nurses in the
country and about 100000 other gradu-
ate and practical nurses.
Just as soon as immediate needs OF
cantonment hospitals have been cared
for reserve Of 100 nurses will be or.
ganized for emergency service in the
United States. Lakewood hotel, Lake
wood, n. j., has been leased by the
government for use as q general hospi-
tai for the army and provisions will
be made for housing the reserve nurs,
es there. This hotel has not yet been
turned over to the war department
but will be in a week or so. The nee
essary alterations will be made as soon
as practicable and the 100 nurses for
the reserve will be needed in addition
to the permanent, nursing staff of the
hospital.

lakes Amazing Leaps Since
america Entered War.
Number of Complaints Throughout
Country Increases 20 Per Cent
in Six Months.

NeW Yerk.-Snce the United States
entered the war the crime percentages
in practically every city in the coun-
try have taken amazing leaps. Inc
number Of complaints reaching va
rious Netective headquarters through
cut the Land for the last six months
wasRe per cent higher than during the
same period year ago. The increase
has extended to practically all forms
of crime except murder and assault.
Commissioner Woods Of the New
York city police department, has made
q spedsA examination Of the records
with q view to answering the question
as to the effect Of the war On crime
and criminals. His conclusions are as
fellows:
; Crimes against property have in
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the rea-
son may be found directly in the eco
,nomic conditions which have been
brought about by the war. Crimes OF
violence, except robbery, have tended
to decrease, but the decrease is to be
attributed not so much to gangs and
the imprisonment Of the gangsters who
formerly afflicted New York city"
Like Commissioner Woods, District
attorney Swami holds that the causes
Of increased crime are economic, due
ito the war.
'The explanation" he says, 'fs In
the increased value of property. Silks,
copper, brass, foodstuffs and almost
every commodity have such an increas-
ed value and are so readily salable
that it is worth while to steal most
anything, and the thieves act accord
ingiy. With the increase in values is
q corresponding increase in tempta-
tion."

OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE

Washington, October 29th,-Special
] The choice of a United States Sen
ator in Montana this year is the mos
important the people of the State wer'
ever called upon to make. In making
it, the people should keep in mint
these undisputed facts:
i. The Senator to be elected Novem
Der. will vote on the ratification Of
the peace treaties between the United
States and Germany and Austria.
q. To assist in shaping the peace
| treaties requires an intimate know
ledge of the war legislation already
enacted and a thoro understanding
of International relations, which Sem
ator Walsh possesses over any other
man in Montana.
8. The defeat of Senator Walsh
would be regarded as meaning that
the people of Montana are not salts
fled with the conduct of the war and
the administration of President Will
son.
a. Senator Walsh is admitted by
everyone to be the ablest man ever
elected to Congress from Montana and
one of the ablest men in the United
States.
5.Senator Walsh voted for war, for
CONSUMPTION and for everything ask
ed for by President Wilson to win an
overwhelming victory.
6. Senator Walsh stands for peace
based on unconditional surrender, pre-
ferably dictated on German soil.
T. On many occasions during the
last five years, Senator Walsh has
been the spokesman for and chief re-
lance of President Wilson in the Unit
ed States Senate in the discussion of
important legislation.
8. Senator Walsh's contribution to
legislation of a national character
has been greater than that of every
other man ever sent to Washington
rom Montana and his work in behalf
If Montana interests and people has
been as great as that OF any other
member of Congress ever sent from
he State.
Ex-senator Walsh represents the
eberal movement in the political life
f America, while his chief opponent

10. The Senator to be elected from
1ontana November 9Th, may decide .

He has resided in the county for many
years, formerly on a ranch on Redwa-

Glendive and is our Assessor at that
place. He has made an enviable rec
ord. He needs no introduction to any
one who has had business relations
with him as public official or other
wise. By reason of his special fitness
he has been chosen as member of
the Local War Board and the duties
of this Office combined with those Of
his Office as Assessor have prevnted
his seeing many Of the voters Of the
county. He is man Of exceptionally
good judgment and has filled the Office
most credibly. While his membership
of the War Board does not at all in
crease his salary, it has very mater
tally increased the amount of work
required Of him in this Office at this
time, and it has been thought most
desirable that hebe retained in this
office for anothe term.

One of the most important Offices in
this county is that of County Commits
sioner. Arnold Griffin is the repub-
lican candidate for this Office. He
has lived in Dawson County for 35
years. Heis better qualified to look
after road grading work than any
other man in Dawson County, by rea-
son of the experience in this line that
he has had, having for many years
done contract grading work for the
Northern Pacific Railway. He is
farmer and rancher; also runs feed
and seede store in Glendive. He is
absolutely honest, man of exception
ally good Judgment, careful and eco
nomical in his own affairs, thoroly
patriotic and by all means ought to
be elected to this Office. We want to
say to the voters that if you are not
!, .uai.lUcc With ems man Griffin, then,
we wish you would make inquiries "a
bout him. He is not a politician in
any sense; he knows nothing what
ever about politics, but he is real
man and is really qualified for this
job.

George Twible is the Republican
candidate for Sheriff. One of the
strongest recommendations that any
man can be given, in thesetimes, is
that he has made some enemies in the
performance of hisduties. Twible is
one of those men, who, when called
upon to perform duty, does not stop
to inquire whether it will make him a
friend or an enemy. He performs the
duty as he sees it. What we need in
these times the thing we need more
than anything else, in any office, and
more particularly in the Sheriff's of
flee is an aggressive, fearless official.
Twible meets these requirements. He
has had many years experience as an
officer. He is Chairman of the Local
War Board. That adds nothing to his
salary but adds very materially to
his work. He has spent the last year
and a half becoming acquainted with
this work. Would it not now be most
unfortunate to make change? Would
it not be very much better to contin-
ue this efficient officer for another two
years? What we are looking for is
the best service we can get and GER
tainly he is in a better position than
any other man to render that service.
Certainly his duties are such that it
is utterly impossible for him to
make any active campaign and he is
running solely upon his record as an
thorough-going, honest, one
hundred per cent American officer.
