TURNS DOWN
BONUS DEMAND
YANKTON POST AGAINST PLAN
OF AMERICAN LEGION.

Yankton, Feb. 25.-The American
Legion post has refused to indorse
the action of the state commander
and of the national executive COM
mittee in going before congress and
demanding bonus of $50 for each
month in uniform for service men.
The proposition before Roy Ander-
son Post No. IL was to indorse or
not to indorse the action, and to tel
egraph representatives in congress
that it favored the proposition or
did not.
The vote did not indicate that the
local legionnaries opposed the idea
OF getting any cash that might heave
in sight, but they refused, after bit
OF one-sided discussion, to indorse
any high-handed demand for a bonus.
The feeling Of the post members
was that IL the government wanted
to do the service men a good turn it
would devote funds to the aid OF
wholly or partially disabled service
men, and possibly a bit OF compensd-
tion insurance for injuries to soldiers
whether the injuries we're received
in war or in peace time vacations.
Post Commander Fred B. Ray was
instructed to send such q message to
South Dakota's representatives in
Washington.

TO CANCEL
HIS CITIZENSHIP
COURT ACTION BEGUN AcAINST
WALTER REYNACHER, OF
ABERDEEN.

Aberdeen, Feb. 25.-United States
District Attorney E. w. Fiske has
started action in the United States
district court to cancel the naturali-
zation certificate issued in November,
1914, to Walter Heynacher of this
city, former state secretary of the Ger
man-American alliance and a former
officer in the German naval reserve,
who was convicted in federal court
here in May, 1918, on the charge of
violating the espionage act and SEN
fenced to serve five years in the fed
eral penitentiary at Leavenworth,
Kansas.
Heynacher started to serve the SEN
tence two months ago after unsuc-
cessful efforts to have the circuit
court of appeals at st. Louis review
his sentence passed by Federal Judge
j. d. Elliott.
In his petition, filed in behalf of
the federal government, Mr.. Fiske al
leges that Heynacher did not really
renounce his allegiance to the Ger
man emperor and that his naturaliza-
tion certificate was obtained through
fraud. He cites certain anti-Ameri-
can remarks, said to have been ut
tered by Heynacher, as proof of this
contention
First papers were issued to Hey
nacher on September 25, 1909, while
he was yet a subject of Germany. He
filed his petition for naturalization
on June 13, 1914, and on November
Z of the same year he took the oath
of allegiance to the United States
and was granted citizenship.
1t is not unlikely that similar ac-
ton will be started against Edwin
Reitz, a retired farmer of this city,
who was convicted on the same
charge at the same time and given q
similar sentence. Reitz is still at
liberty on bonds, although his appli-
cation to the supreme court of the
United States for review of his case
has been denied.

POUNDS
MORE SUGAR SOLD
DESPITE ALLEGED SHORTAGE
EXPORTS FROM u. s. SHOW
INCREASE.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-Al-
though there were general complaints
of a sugar shortage in this country
last year exports Of the commodity
during that time exceeded the year
before by more than 100000, 900
pounds. according to department of
commerce records. Exports reached
a total Of 1,475. .407.67S pounds. COM
pared with 407,206,324 pounds the
year before.
One explanation of the increase is
that England sent much cane to the
United States to be refined and re-
shipped. Exports to that country,
however. were only 425,17O,564
pounds, whereas, France imported
627.6S2,115 pounds, or nearly half
OF the total. Italy took the third
largest quantity, 58.931,947 pounds.
Relaxation of restrictions on ship
ments by the allied countries after
the war, Is believed here to be large
ly responsible for the increased ex-
ports.

untary agencies engaged in the fight
against tuberculosis throughout the
United States for over IL years, has
raised over $10,000,000 for this
cause. In disseminating its co-opera-
tive relationship with the American
Red Cross, DR. Livingston Farrand,
tee of the Red Gross, states that the
circumstances make 1t 1nadvlSaDle 10

symbol of the Red Cross, but that
the tuberculosis seal to be put out

tuberculosis association will be rec
ognized by the American Red Cross

Cross SEAL
DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, managing
director of the National Tuberculosis
association announces that the sale
of seals at the recent holiday will
bring in gross return of somewhat
over $4,100,000, according to present
reports, thereby assuring much lar
ger war against tuberculosis during
the coming year than has been dis
played in previous years.

THE PRESIDENT AND
THE RAIL MEN
WOODROW is ..COCKY AS HE'LL"
THEY SAY.

Washington, Feb. 25.-"Don' t
make any mistake about the presi-
dent; we found him 'cocky as
hell,
So one of the three union chiefs
who recently saw the president on
the White House portico told his as
sociates here, from the outside dis
tricts to attend the wage conference.
"He sat there with blanket
around him; we didn't see his left
hand. He had golf cap perched on
one side of his head. He sure looked
cocky. Lee told him the profiteers
were making all the trouble. He told
Lee he'd like to get a good chance
at them. I'D like to put them in
the front line trenches he said.
"The president is thinner than he
was He has lost lot of weight
and his face looks longer, but he
seemed to be coming along all right.
And, as said, we didn't see his left
hand, but I'll tell the world there
is nothing the matter with his right.
He's got grab like prizefighter.' :

ATTORNEY GENERAL
BuAMEs CONGRESS
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT HAN
DICAPPED IN IT'S DRIVE ON
HIGH COSTS.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 25.-The cam
paign against the high cost of living
has not been unsuccessful and al
though no general lower level OF
prices to the consumer has been
reacher there has been a tendency
in many lines toward such level, At
torney General A. Mitchell Palmer
declared in an address before the
Kansas Democratic club.
That more pronounced results have
not been realized in coping with the
living cost problem and many others
confronting the country as a result
OF the war, Mr.. Palmer attributed to
what he considered lack of CO.
operation between the legislative and
executive branches of the govern
ment
1T can be no longer denied" he
said, that the executive branch of
the government has been handicapped
by hostile and barren congress. Not
only has it refused to support the
president, but it has failed to offer
any plans of it's own"
He cited recommendations of
President Wilson concerning living
costs and taxes and declared all of
them had been ignored.
In view of this abdication of all
responsibility by the congress because
dominated by-a political party hostile
to the administration, the wonder is
not that we have done so little but
that We have accomplished so much, I"
he said.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Ba inbridge
Colby has been appointed as secre-
tary of state to succeed Robert Lans-

more of surprise than the resigna-

While Colby has been a strong sup

0UTBURSTS BY MOB
CHECKED BY TROOPS
(By Associated Press)

WISE, Va, Dec. 6.-With the ar
rival early today of attachments of
national guard troops from Roanoke
and Lynchburg, the authorities believ-
ed they had under control the
situation resulting from the storming
yesterday of the county Jail by a mob
bent on lynching a negro charged
with assaulting and robbing an aged
white merchant. The determined re-
sistance of Sheriff Corder and his
deputies barricaded in the Jail and the
death Of Tate Blondell, alleged leader
of the mob, during the exchange of
shots, effectively checked the mob
until the arrival of the troops.
Threats that another and larger mob
was forming for an attack last night
failed to materialize. A machine gun
had been mounted on the Jail and the
defenders were ordered to shoot to
kill" So far as could be learned to.
day the death of Blondell and the
serious wounding of John F. Lewis
another alleged mob member, were
the only casualties. Lewis has three
bullet wounds in the chest and his
condition is said to be serious.

ADEQUATE RAILROADS
IRRIGATION, RELIEF
| FOR CHINA'S FAMINES

Details of the suffering of the CO.
100000 people in the famine stricken
districts of northern China are related
by Mrs Kate c. Schneider of Rich
mond, who was in the Orient for some
time and visited the famine country.
Immediate and permanent relief will
be brought to the famine sufferers by
Americans working through the Red
Cross, with funds collected in the
United States, all returned travellers
agree.
The plan of relief has been laid out
by Americans working in China under
the direction of Chinese officials and
United States minister, Charles +.
) Crane, il was announced.
According to the people who have
returned, the situation is as deplor-
able as that which existed in Europe
during the war. The south has enough
crops to feed the entire country, but
these cannot be transported because
there is a lack of railroad facilities.
To makerthe situation worse, the mil
itary in control has seized a large por-
ton Of the rolling stock to carry
troops, thus lending to the restitution
Seek to Interest Bankers.
Immediate relief will be given as
soon as possible, the Chinese prefer.
ring to have the work done by the Red
Cross. to eliminate possible graft. The
plan is to interest American bankers
and business interests in the sale OF
bonds, the proceeds of which will be
used to provide adequate railroads and
to install complete irrigations systems
which will eliminate any danger OF q
crop shortage in the future.
The country will benefit largely, II
is said, through both the work of re
lief and the construction of roads and
bitches because of the increased trade
that will result.
4 AS an indication of the good feeling
/ now existing between China and the
= United States, it is announced that
fully 80 per cent of the youth of China
now being sent abroad to be educated
come to this country Formerly only
20 per cent came here.
