You mothers, wives, and relativeB
can bank upon the foregoing as the
arranged plan and purpose of President
Wilson. Russia is wholly and entirely
out of the Zon Of future American

fail there will be no possibility of our
troops going to Berlin, which seems to
be the favorite prediction of agents OF

have an assured monthly troop ship

FINDS A RAccooN
TO HIS SORROW

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 6.-While raccoons
are numerous in timber countries of
America, they are not often met with
in this state, but one evidently wan
ders up the Missouri occasionally, and
such an animal gave A. N. Kinzie, a 90
years-old trapper, a nard fight a few
days ago. He was out looking after
his traps and started to investigate a
newly dug burrow on q hillside, and
while examining the opening a large
COON seized his left hand and badly
chewed it up before the aged trapper
could get his knife out of his pocket
and open it with his teeth. He finally
killed the animal and got a valuable
pelt to help pay the doctors bill for
his clawed and bitten hand and arm.

DRAWS
LINE Of PEACE
Will Live Up to Promises
Strictly, But Will Not
Yield to Allied
Force.
BY United Press.

Copenhagen, Jan. Tt will negotiate
a just and right peace, but not a peace
by force which would mean the annihil-
alton and slavery of Germany" Ger
man Foreign Minister Brockdorff-
Rantzau declared in an official state
ment, the text Of which was received
here today.
Our enemies are trying to throw
suspicion upon the German revolution,
hoping to avoid fulfillment Of Presi-
dent Wilson'S program. The assertion
that the revolution is a sham is not
true. 1t is also untrue that Germany
will submit to the demands of brutal
power.
SO long as am in a position to make
good my word Germany will concien-
tiously fulfill her promises, but not a
shade more than Germany recognizes
as her promises"

sTockMEN's ASSOCIATION
GOES AFTER THE WOLF

Pierre. S. D.. Jan. 6.-Wolf hunters
in the northwestern part of the state
can be certain Of $50 for each gray
wolf they put out of business on the
range.
The stockmen's association. which
works in the northwestern part of
South Dakota and southeastern part of
Montana, with headquarters at Camp
Crook, make this a standing offer. But
they want to be certain before they
make the payment, and the hunter who
has a gray wolf to his credit must
bring the animal into the presence of
some member of the association and
remove the hide in his presence. This
prevents any duplication of rewards.

dams In order to store water. The
muskrats are SO numerous that 1t takes
them but a little while to bore holes
through the dams n release the
water. One rancher states he is out

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Jan. S.-Dennis
Baker and Milton Ulrich, Hand county
men, find themselves in the clutches of
he law as the result of shipping a
quantity of liquor into the state in OIL

they were responsible for the shipment.
Shipping liquor into the state consti-
tutes one of the most serious violations
OF the statewide prohibition law.
1t is alleged that the shipment of "oil"
was consigned to Vayland INC was
there loade from a freight train.
Baker Is alleged to have driven to Way
land in a sleigh, into which he loaded
the three barrels Of oil, and hauled
them to Miller, where 1t is charged that
they We're unloaded and secreted in
an underground cache under the e
of 4 barber shop conducted by Ulrich.
For a time before being placed In the
cache the barrels lay IN the ground
at the rear OF the barber shop. They
aroused much curiosity, and, as usual
in such cases, an officer Of the law
came ''nosing around"
Wishing to discover to whom the
barrels belonged, the officer, when
darkness fell, secreted himself in a
nearby place Of concealment. with a
convenient .peekhole'' near at hand.
About II o'clock that night the barrels
were moved into the barber shop. Then
the officer procured a search warranat
and swooped down on the place. The
officer found a trap door, but all Of
them were too large to go through it.
a slim man was found and he yolun-
teered to explore the underground
den
He speedily found the liquor, and it
was not long until he had handed up
100 full quart bottles. They a filled
sacks. They had been packed In
the barrels, covered with oil and
shipped as oil. The 100 quarts are
worth 81. 200 and for safekeeping the
bottles of liquor have been placed III
the steel cage Of the Hand county Jail,
where they will be guarded, SO the,
evidence against the two accused men
ann be spirited away.

STATE APPEALS

McAdoo Rules That Intra-state
Freight Tariffs as Fixed BY
Government Will Stand-No
Division of Authority.
BY United Press.

Washington, Jan. 7.--Attempts by
state authorities to change intrastate
railroad rates ordered by the railroad
administration will be ignored, Director
General McAdoo, OF railways, stated
today.
These conclusions are included In y
statement issued at the railroad adj
ministration which said:
Director General McAdoo, when his
attention n called today to the fact
that several states have begun litiga-
ton growing in question the validity
OF rates initiated> by him under the
federal control act so far as they APP
ply to 1ntrastate traffic, said he re-
GREETED that the issue should be raised
and a contest precipitated between
state and federal authority but tina he
was acting under the law OF congress
as the presidents representative and
could not subject himself, in that ca
pacity to the jurisdiction Of courts Or
commissions beyond the provisions Of
the law.
Confine Authority.
Considering the purpose for which
the statute was enacted, and the ex-
tent to which it would be defeated by
q division of authority, as well as
the terms OF the statute itself, there
can. in his opinion, be no reasonable
officers doubt that the intention Is that
during the period of federal control,
rates may be initiated to apply to both
intrastate and interstate business and
that complaints of such rates are x
clusively within the jurisdiction Of the
interstate commerce commission, which.
can be relied upon I do Justice to
all interests.
