SOLDIERS TO BUY CLOTHING.

 Make Their Own Purchases.

Washington, Aug. 11.--The war department announced today that sol diers of the United States army will receive a money clothing allowance, instead of being issued clothing lin kind" as at present. General Persh- ing, chief of staff, has approved this change on the ground of greater eco nomy and improvement in morals.
 For the soldier to receive a money allowance, it is argued, is to en- courage thrift on hia part, and to incu1cate personal interest in tho care of his clothing. It ia believed this will tend to make the army bet ter dressed at smaller cost to the gov ernment-
 The change is authorized by law. and will go into effect Oct. l. Officers as at present, will be required to fur nish their own uniforms.

 This situation brought a furry of debate in the Senate yesterday after noon. with the entirely negative re- suit that those who sought informa lion as the status of our relations win Germany failed to obtain any. The impression was created that Ad- riinistra' ion senators had not been taken into the confidence of the Ad- n,inistration. Senator Lodge, the Re puilica floor leader, and chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations. was chided with having criticized Woodrow Wilson for failing to fur r ssh advance information to the Sen ate about the Versailles Treaty, while now, he, himself, under a Repulbli- can Administration was unable to give the Senate any information. about treaty negotiations at Berlin.
 MT. Lodge contended that he had Tot criticized President Wilson for failing to make advance disclosures out for withholding Illuminating in formation about it after the Yer Sailles Treaty was signed

ating in Minnesota. North and South

ing to United States District Attorney
Hildreth here today.
He said arrests would be made be-

Hildreth indicated the roundup
would be the biggest in the northwest
since the Volstead law became effec-
tive. He said it was part of the new
campaign of enforcement. Depart
ment of justice agents have been
working on the case for weeks.
Hildreth recently stated that a
whiskey smuggling ring with he'll
quarters in Minneapolis eristed in the
northwest. He said it had branch Of

HIGHMORE HAS $4,000 LOSS
WHEN HOTEL BLOCK BURNS

Highmore suffered one of the most
disastrous fires early Thursday morn
ing when the West Hotel building, a
hardware store, and a general store
were entirely destroyed by flames.
The fire occurred between two and
four in the morning. one of the hotel
guests was awakened by the smell of
smoke, and upon awakening the land
lord, John Van Abel, it was found that
the blaze had a start in a lavatory
between the hardware and general
stores. The fire alarm was instantly
turned in, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that 1t soon became evident
that there was no possible chance of
saving the building, and the attention
of the department was turned to the
buildings across the street to keep
them from catching fire.
II is estimated that the total loss
will exceed $4,000. About $45, 900
insurance was carried. The Hotel
West block was one of the old land
marks, having bees built in 1886.
II is believed that the fire original
ed from defective wiring in the Law
atory in that portion of the building
occupied by the stores. When those
who first entered the Larson and Sun
store tried to turf on the lights
they refused to work, although they
had been alright at closing time the
before.

Miller 5, Blunt 8
Miller S, Spring Lake 9

The Miller ball team lost two games
last week, n with Spring Lake 5 to
8, and to Blunt 5 to 8.
The game with Spring Lake was
played last Thursday at the South
Hand picnic, and was a one-sided con
test, the south boys holding the lead
throughout the game.
The game here Sunday with Blunt,
resulting in a score of 5 to 8 in favor
of the visitors was interesting until
the final out. The weakness of the
Miller team with the willows was
again demonstrated, only gathering
5 hits off the veteran pitcher of South
Dakota, Kirkpatrick of Pierre. Chan
dler, of Miranda, did the twirling for
the locals, and did very satisfactory
work in the box, allowing 8 hits, 4 of
them of a very scratchy variety, ana
was credited with 6 strike outs, and
Is assists, and not walking or hitting
a batter.

he had utterly mistaken the tone and
temper of his hosts. Like the man
