MEET STERN Provost
Capt. Kelly Makes ALI Hold Hands
Over Heads"-An Officer Ar.
rested for Lying.

1t was ] am. Monday, and the late
corners from Baltimore at Outpost
No. 10 were being halted in their
automobiles by the provost guard
this time with Capt. Kelly in command.
They rolled out slowly from their
seats and took positions in line so
that the guard could go about his
work with system and dispatch. One
fellow, with unsteady hand but very
showed his pass in the face of the
guard and saidi
There's my credentials"
Capt Kelly dived ten feet in the di-
rection of this fellow and grabbing
the soldiers pockets discovered bot
tie.
Arrest this man, guard: charge
him with bringing a quart of whisky
into camp"
Pockets Were Searched.
All hands. fully a dozen, were made
to stay with their hands locked above
their head, while their pockets were
thoroughly searched and their passes
were checked up. 1t was very BUSH
ness like and very amusing. this per-
Torrance, but there was not much
outward show of mirth on the part
of the boys who were being sent to
the guardhouse SO fast that those at
the end of the line began to doubt
whether any one would go scott free.
Finally small machine hove into
sight and the driver was brought to
a stop by the guard. He was asked
to show his pass, He had none. A
lieutenant in the car declared that
the car was the property of the SER
geant sitting beside the driver. Capt.
Kelly questioned the driver and dis
covered that the car was really his
and that the officers statement was
merely a bluff to fool the guard.
ARREST this lieutenant" said the
captain" for making misstatement
to an officer"
BY the time the search had been
completed the provost captain and his
men had placed under arrest q con-
siderable portion OF the travellers.
1t is said that the captains personal
activities in this direction win result
in reduction of the number OF those
who "get by on these midnight
parties.

Jack Rose had been speaking

told the stories of ten ex-pro-

he had passed on the street the
day before, who were now Eek"

the inevitable end of their
course. "Their house was left
unto them desolate."
The. church was packed with
strange faces, strange to Chris
tan gatherings. At the close a
well grooned man of forty, with
deep lines forming on his face,
asked Mr.. Rose when he could
talk with him for ten minutes.
Right now" As they drew
aside, he commenced to tell his
story. "Hold on" said Rose,
you are not playing the game
fair. Put. all the cards on the
table, face up. You are holding
something back" Then the man
said, "You are right" and told

BAG THREE MACHINES
American Airmen Attack and De.
feat Germans.
Thrilling Series OF Air Encounters Oc-
ours In Sunny French
Skies.

With the American Army in France,
May 17.-Three German planes were
brought down by American airmen In
the Toul sector during a series of
air fights in sunny skies.
Capt. Kenneth Tarr of San Francis
co, also formerly attached to the La
Fayette escadrille, encountered a Ger
man machine north Of Pont-a-M ousson.
He circled around his adversary who
displayed cleverness several times
and and finally outmaneuvered him,
taking a position in the sun, where he
was invisible to his opponent. He
darted down on the German plane, his
machine gun rafting out a fusillade
of bullets. The German machine, q
double scatter, promptly crashed to
earth.
A few minutes later Captain Peter.
son sighted two German single seaters
north OF Toul. He climbed above both
unobserved and then suddenly
swooped down and attacked one of
them, which fell In flames. The other
attempted to escape, Peterson pursu.
ing it. The German attempted a sud.
den dive and In the process one OF his
wings broke and the, machine crashed
earthward from a height of several
hundred meters.

WRfATLEsS BASIS
NO MORE WHITE BREAD UNTIL
JULY 4.

Aberdeen, May 17.-Special: A
resolution appealing to the people OF
South Dakota to go onto an entire
wheatless basis from now on until
July l was passed unanimously by
the county chairmen Of the federal
food administration organization for
this state and members of state COM
mittees in conference with C. N. Her
reid, South Dakota food administra-
tor. and E. F. Cullen, Mr.. Hoover's
personal representative.
This action was taken in view of
the seri0us wheat situation which
now obtains. Wheat. according to
Mr.. Cullen, Is at this time even more
OF a wal necessity than ammunition
or men.
THE food situation Is now more
critical than ever" said Mr.. Cullen,
and in many counties and states the
pe0ple have voluntarily discontinued
the use Of wheat and wheat products
entirely until after the next harvest.
The rapidity with which favorable
reports from various parts of the
country are piling up gives us good
q to estimate that the wheat
crop Of 1918 may exceed a billion
bushels.
with the assurance that after
September 1 there will be plenty of
wheat, surely the people of South
Dakota can we'll afford to use substi-
tutes and give their wheat to the al
lies-who are now fighting the bit
terest battle of the war"
