42ND DIVISION
READY FOR CALL
Of ALL ABOARD
First Train Out Of Occu-
pied Zone Leaves
Sunday.

Coblenz, Thursday, April 3.-(By The
Associated Press. THE i2nd division is
all packed up and awaiting the final
order, "All aboard for home," The first
train with troops from this division is
scheduled to leave Ahrweiier Sunday
morning Two trains viii leave Sunday
and four daily thereafter for six days.
Officials cognizance has been taken
by the Third army of the increased
spirit of enmity shown by civilians
against Americans in the occupied areas.
Thursdays intelligence summary says
5of this condition:
There is considerable feeling against
our strict enforcement of the civilian cir
culation regulation. This is especially SO
with reference to the circulation ON the
left bank of the Rhine between the sew
eral occupied territories
Regarding bolshevism and the opinions
of civilians In the occupied area, the
summary says:
''The general idea is that belshevism
will die OF its own accord, and salts
faction is expressed that it cannot make
headway in the American zone. While
recognizing that the inhabitants owe
the quiet in the region to the American
troops, it is evident that the popula-
ton has no really friendly spirit for
our soldiers"
The Third army has granted special
permission to number of congressman
to address such of their constituents as
they find among the divisions in the
occupied zone.
Representative julius Kahn, of CALI
fernis, arrived in Coblenz, today, after
having visited the battlefields. Several
other congressman arrived during the

Der of Cults votes were enormously
counted for Dunn
The court made an order that the bal
lots in precinct A be brot in and counted
Instead of producing the ballots of pre-
cinct A, the ballots of precinct B were
brot in and the greater part counted be-
fore the mistake was discovered. Pre-
clnct A ballots were counted this after
noon.
Early in the week it had developed
that election return sheets from pre-
cincts where the judges had failed as
the law provides to send in duplicate re-
turns to the city clerks office follow
ing the count were in the hands of
counsel for Dunn. Judge Lamb had called
the attention of the assistant attorney
general to that fact. Today A. B. Melz-
ner, of counsel for Dunn, who was called
to the stand by counsel for Cults, ex-
planned how he came into possession of
these election sheets. He said that the
sheets-there were four of them-were
found by him on his desk in the head
quarters of the non-Partisan league on
the day following the election. He testi-
fled that he did rot know where they
came from and had no knowledge under
what circum Instances they had been OBJ
talned- In reply to question, he said
that he was secretary-treasurer of the
on-Partisan league, but that his desk
at headquarters was not closed and
anyone about the hall had access to it
CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Helena, April 4.-The state supreme
court, today, directed at Charles Fl.
Treacy, city clerk of Butte, writ de-
manding his appearance before the court.
Saturday afternoon, at / 30 o'clock, to
show cause why he should not place the
name of W. +. Dunn, Of Butte, on the
ballot for the city election, as an in
dependent candidate for city treasurer.
Wheeler and Baldwin and Nolan and
Donovan. two Butte firms of attorneys,
appeared for Dunn and Mccarthy.
Mr. Donovan presented the case To
the court, which granted the writ after
brief consideration. Mr. Donovan set
forth that Dunn and Mccarthy are
respectively eontesting the nominations
on the democratic ticket, in the recent
Butte primary. of William Cults and
Charles Treacy, for mayor and treas
urer, and that, on Thursday. they duly
moved that the contest be dismissed. as
they had decided to run independently.
but that tie Butte district attorney had
overruled this privilege.
Their filings as independent candi-
oates were LHen refused Dy the city
clerk. on the ground that they were still
contesting the democratic nominations
and that candidates cannot appear on
two tickets, under the state election
act.
Mr.. Donovan contended that the
clerks office was without authority for
this decision. since Dunn Mt the time
was not shown to have been nominated
on the democratic ticket and was ready
and willing to forego that nomination and
appear on the ballot as an independent
candidate only--the same arguments
holding for Mccarthy
The proceedings were brief. and the
writ soon issued.
