has made great record for himself in
France, rivalling very closely the
records Of some of the generals who
were in the fighting ranks. His du-

France, which position he has held
since his arrival in that country. He
has about 10000 men working under

at Camp Lewis, where he is waiting

CITIZENSHIP TAKEN
FROM WAR 0bJECT0R.

8. C.. Kerberg, U. S. Naturalization
Examiner from St. Paul, Minp., ap-
peared before Judge Buttz at Cham
bers Saturday afternoon and secured
an order of court cancelling the de-
elaration of intention to become a citi-
rem of the United States, made June
7th, 1916, at Minnewaukan, N. D., by
Knute Sigfrid Loen, and the order
forever debars him from becoming a
ciizen Of this country.
e From petitions and afidavits signed
bt Loen and presented by the Minis
ter from Norway to the United States
to Frank L. Polk, Assistant Secretary
Of State at Washington, it appears
that Loen came from Bergen, Norway
to Sheyenne, N. D., March 1, 1916,
and onJune 7th, 1916, before Clerk Of
Court Duncan, at Minnewaukan, de-
dared his intention to become a citi-
zen. When he returned his question
arie to the Benson County Draft
Board he claimed exemption from
military service on the ground that
he was not full citizen. His Claim
was foverruled and he appealed to the
district board at Bismarck, which
likewise held him for military service
and he was inducted into the army.
He then took the matter up with
the Minister Of Norway claiming to
that official that Notwithstanding his
declaration Of intention to become a
citizen here he could not serve in the
u. @. Army, but would return to Nor
way and enter the military estab-
ishmeht of that country if Norway 50
desired. -,
At the naturalization hearings dur.
ing the war period Judge Buttz re-
peatedly stated from the bench that
persons who has claimed exemptions
from military solely on the grounds
Of citizenship, and thus refused to
stand with this government when they
were needed, would not in the future
be admitted to citizenship by him.
And now the government is taking
the same position thru it's naturaliza'
ton bureau.

Train Whistle Goes
On an ALARMING Lao

Since July 1, getting on a jag"
has been a rare occurrence. But the
whistle Of a passenger train which
passes Leon, Mo-, daily, proves that
it can still be done.
According to the fireman and en-
gineer, the whistle had always pos
sessed an excellent moral character
until July 1. Since then 1T has been
getting on toot" with shieking
regularity. Starting at Koyle, near
here, and from then on the whistle
kept up an unearthly screening one
day recently. The fireman was I'M
able to stop 1t and was forced to
shovel coal at top speed to make up
for the steam lost. Passengers were
worried at the continued footing.
Farmers and villagers thought some
national tragedy had happened. The
whistle defied all efforts to stop it
until it was stuffed with waste by
the exhausted fireman. 1t has gone
on a jag several times since then
and this is the only means found to
sober it up.
The trainmen are in favor of a
drastic prohibition measure which
will restore the hilarious whistle to
it's former deCOrum,
