REGULAR ARMY.
TO Be ORGANIZED

Washington, April 2. - Orders
made public today by Gen. March,
chief Of staff, provide for the organic
alton of the regular army at a peace
strength of $4,000 officers and men
under plans that are radical depar-
ture from the pre-war establishment.
The effect is to carry in the peace
time establishment the 'one army or
ganization which absorbed regulars,
national guard and national army dur
ing the war into the army of the Un-
ited States.
This is accomplished by perpetual
ing in the permanent establishment
the numerical designations, names,
special insignia, war histories and ira:
,ditions and where possible, the COM
missioned personnel Of the divisions,
regiments and other units which have
particularly brilliant was records This
project is furthered by assigning to
each Of the fourteen regular divisions
to be organized, the number and ap-
proximately the same home area as
one of the war divisions. The new
division, in each case, will be recruit
ed exclusively from that area, which
is an adaptation of the system long
employed in continental armies

DID GOVERNOR
RECEIVE. kate?
Dun County Leaguers Awaiting Den.
ial of Charges Made BY Kosit-

Killdeer, N. D., April 2.-Loyal
leaguers in this end of Dunn county
are anxious awaiting a denial from
Governor Frazier of charges made by
State Auditor Carl Kositzky and Rep
resentative E. w. Herbert, both leag-
uers, that during the recent session
of the legislature, when Kate Rich
ards O'Hara, the convicted seditionist,
was guest at league headquarters
in Bismarck, she was entertained in
Governor Frazier's Office. Both Her
bert and Kositzky made this state
ment at a recent meeting in Dunn
Center, when league legislation was
under discussion.
Kate Richards O'Hara was convict
ed in the u. S district court at Bis
marck ago last December for
referrin. |: others of North Dako-
ia soldie-s s'.:s::;+ n class with brood
sows on :,xlF ana stock ranch and
for the fufV statement that the
best that .58 e hoped from the
American -. who went overseas
was that their bodies and their blood
might enrich the soil of France. Mrs.
O'Hare was alleged to have less ele-
gantly referred to them as best fitted
for fertilizer. Following Mrs. o.
Hara's conviction she appealed to the
U. S. circuit court Of appeals and then
to the supreme court Of the United
States, both of which affirmed the
judgement of the lower court, which
resulted in sentence to five years at
hard labor in Jefferson prison, Mis-
souri,. Mrs. !O;Hara soon is to begin
serving her term.

care greatly for her. This apparent

DISPOSITION Of ARMY
SUPPLIES BIG TASK

British government, nor could any Of
the contracts arranged through the
British be cancelled except by nego-
tiations through that government.
Even if there are some delays the
United States doubtless will profit by
many of it's sales. No agreement
could be reached with the firm which
held contract to deliver to the
American army about 200 huge gaso-
line tanks for use in France. Deliv-
cry is continuing but it is not worry
ing quarternaster officers as the army
has already been ocered more for
them than the contract price for the
lot. With some other material the
same situation obtains.
The work Of settling unfinished
contracts is progressing but British
officials are unwilling for . huge
amount of material to be dumped sud-
denly on the market Notwithstanding
there is an insistant demand for soma

women OF SERBIA
need CLOTHING

Fully half the population of four
and half million in Serbia, and q
majority of the natives Of all Jugo-
Slavia would welcome with great joy
gift of used clothing from America,
according to Capt. John jaeger, of
Minneapolis, member OF the lately
disbanded Red Cross Agricultural
Commission to Serbia, has just arriv-
ed in the United States.
Captain Jager, who was told of the
great drive for old clothing, shoes
and blankets, which the Northern Di-
vision, American Red Cross will make
during the week March 31st to April
5th declares he has seen Serbian wo-
men wearing crude garments made
from strips of gunny-sacking.
"While it is true that many, in fact,
most Of the women in Jugo-Slavia
wear native costumes when they can
get the material to make them, any
dresses worn in the United States
would be greatfuly received by them
for they are cever in making clothes,
said Captain lager. "If you could
send them needles, thread, scissors,
thimbles, buttons, too, they would be
abundantly appreciated.
"In December pair Of shoes cost
1SO frames in Skoplje. At that time
the districts of Varnja, Prokuplje, and
Leskovac We're in direct need of cloth
ing of all kinds. The Serbian peas
ant women couldn't wear a high
heeled shoes such as the average
American woman wears. but there are
ways Of getting rid of high heels.
"The need of clothing may be indi-
Gated by the fact that I have seen
Serbian women with only strips OF
gunny-sacking about their bodies"

THINGS GETTING DRY
IN old KENTUCKY
Prohibition By Agreement in Chris
tian County, Kentucky. Think
OF 1t!
(Bv The Associated Press.)

AAoASSAs~SOA
Louisville, KY, Apr. 2.-Prohibi-
ion by agreement became effective
today in Christian county, Ky. After
an election had been proposed, the Ii
quor dealers, in view Of the approach
of nationtl prohibition, consented to
discontinue the sale Of liquor on April
LIST.
The effect of the novel experiment,
which the authorities say was never
attempted before in America, will be
watched with interest.
Under the agreement, the liquor
dealers pledged themselves to aid in
enforcing prohibition, and to use their
influence against the issuance OF new
licenses by county authorities. II
new applicants take action against
county authorities to compel issuance
of licenses, the old liquor dealers
agree to fear fifty per cent Of the cost
in fighting such suits.

ATROCITIES PRACT|CEO BY
THE 0UNPuN|SAED B0CHES

1t is not too much to say that the
people in America have scarcely any
conception of the horrors of the late
war. 1t is true that certain stories
Of the destruction wrought by the
Hun upon cities and villages in mis-
path have been printed. We have al
50 heard of German outrages comit-
ted on the innocent civilian popula-
tion of Belgium and France, and Of
the atrocious conduct Of the U-boat
campaign against merchant shipping.
But of the trials and sacrifices endur-
ed by the men who actually fought
the war for the United States and
the allies comparatively little has
been told. Letters have been written
home by the men at the front. and
some of those who have returned
have talked about the terrible condi-
tions under which .hey have stood
and defied the advance of the ter
x,rs. But mos tf those store: have
shown on. thei. tact that they were

Child Faints.

"I didn't think I had struck her on
the head. l was angry at the time.
I struck her four or five times on the
small of the back. She had on her
mderclothes. She cried and said she
would never do it again.
II left the room and started for the
kitchen to get breakfast. She regain
ed her strength, it seemed, and came
staggering to the kitchen. Her stock
ings caught in the door and she fell
over. Later she went out to the
kitchen steps and fell over again.
She just tainted away and didn't
know anything after that.
Went About Their Routine.
"My husband picked her up and
placed her on the cot. went out
and MIXED the cows and my husband
did the other chores. When we re-
turned to the house she was no better.
I tried to get doctor from Courte-
nay but the wires were too noisy
from the wind.
II called several neighbors. The
child fingered until o'clock that af-
ternoon."
Underclothing Missing.
Mrs. Mcdonnell denied that she
tried to conceal the girls underclothes
from the coroner and the assistant
states attorney when they reached
the house. She claimed that after the
clothes were removed from the body
of the girl they were wrapped in a
blanket. She admitted using talcum
powder on the body of the bruised
child, but denied using it for the pur-
pose of conceaing the wounds. She
said she thought it was customary to
use powder on the bodies Of the dead.
Mcdonnell had fled towards Can
ada, but was captured by posse.

MILLS IS FREEDIFROM
CHARGE OF VIOLATION
OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT
Judge Amidon Orders a Directed
Verdict for the Defendant

Fargo, April 2.-Walter Thomas
Mills, Socialist speaker and advisor
of the Nonpartisan league in North
Dakota this morning was freed Of
charges of violation of the espionage
act by direct verdict in federal court
in Fargo.
Judge C. F. Amidon completed his
charge to the jury for directed ver-
dict at 1920 o'clock. The return was
made at 11.21 o'clock, and MIR. Mills
walked from the court room a free
man.
A motion by counsel for the defense
for a directed verdict for the defen-
dant was made late yesterday after
noon, and Judge Amidon took the
case under advisement. This morn
ing he made his charge to the jury
and closed ordering a directed ver-
dict for the defendant.
Evidence One-Sided
Judge Amidon in his charge neld
that the evidence presented in the
case was onesided, and supported the
contentious of the defense that state
ments charged to Mr.. Mills in his adj
dress in Island park in Fargo in
June, 1918, which the government al
legged were seditious, were made with
qualifying statements. He added that
a directed verdict for the defendant
was only question of law.
Judge Amidon also discussed the Sc
dition law, and declared that on evi-
dence presented there apparently was
no intent on the part of Mr.. Mills
to disobey the letter of the law. He
spoke for over an hour.
Indicted On Five Counts
Mr.. Mills was indicted by feder-
al grand jury in Fargo last fall on five
counts, charging that he had made Sc
ditious utterances in an address de-
livered in Island park in Fargo on
June 26, 1918, the day preceding the
last primary election.
In the trial of the case, which
commenced last Wednesday, Mr.. Mills
was charged with having made two
specific disloyal statements, one refer
ring to the identity Of American SOL
diers in France and the other to the
making of millionaires in America.
The defense contended that there
were qualifying statements in each
case, and supported such contentious
by the testimony of witnesses and ny
the stenographic report of the ad-
dress.
Counsel for the defense were James
Manahan of st. Paul, William Lem.
ke of Fargo and Seth Richardson OF
Fargo.
