GERMANY FORESEES
WORKABLE PEACE
INFORMAL INQUIRY BASED ON
PORTER-kNOX RESOLUTION
APPROVED IN BERLIN.

Berlin. Aug. 1.-The German for
eign office expresses belief that ne
gotiations which have been proceed
ing for the last three weeks between
Ellis Loring Dresel, the American
commissioner in Berlin, and DIR. Ro-
sen, the foreign minister, have pro-
gressed sufficiently to warrant the
conclusion that a general working
basis has been established for the
conclusion of formal peace treaty
between Germany and the United
States at an early date.
1t is understood In well Informed
quarters that the German govern
ment has assented to propositions
submitted by the American state de-
partment through Mr.. Dresel, in the
way of informal inquiry based on the
essential principles enunciated in the
Porter-Knox peace resolution. None
of these, it said, had been opposed
by the Wirth cabinet

CREASED BILLS
INTO CIRCULATION
MONEY THAT HAS BEEN FOLDED
AND TUCKED AWAY HAS BE-
GUN TO MAKE ITS APPEAR
ANCE.

Chicago, Aug. Creased bills,
money that has been folded into the
smallest possible compass, are be-
ginning TO appear in the stores of
South Chicago, Gary and other pla-
ces where there is large element
of foreigners. All these bills are new
and they have been reposing in belts
and stockings and between bed mat
tresses, under chair cushions and in
other hiding places for year or
more.
Merchants who reported an unus-
ual number of $40 and $50 creased
bills, say it is an unfailing sign of u
hard times pinch. 1t means money
is getting low and the foreigners are
drawing upon their reserves they
had stored away to take abroad with
them.
The foreign born have little use
for banks. They have been defraud-
tionality who opens a bank" and
steamship agencies, and abscond as
soon as the dopsits make it worth
while, that the victims distrust
banks. Consequently, when they get
a new bill they hide it away. For
merly they demanded gold, but gold
has been unobtainable ever since
the war, so they exchanged their old
bills for new, folded them tightly
and hid them
Notwithstanding this evidence that
hard times is forcing out the hidden
reserves, merchants say the foreign
ers refuse to change the expensive
style of living into which they fell
during the war, when almost any sort
of workman could command from
SO to as high as $37 day. They
became accustomed to sirloin steaks
in these easy days and still are eat
ing sirloin steaks. Practically all
the economy they practice is in the
matter of housing. They are doub-
ling up, several families in one
apartment, in some cases several per-
sons in one room. All of them do
their cooking on one stove, use one
table for eating, and the rest of the
space for sleeping.
When one member of the house
hold gets out of bed another is ready
to take the place. A majority of them
are also noticeably economical in the
use of soap and water, but they de
| mand the costles tcuts of meat and
lot of it.

CAR OvERTUR|VS
NEAR HARTFORD
THOS. w. WALSH, SIOUX FALLS
INSURANCE MAN, Is KILLED.

Sioux Falls, Aug. Apparently
becoming confused when he encoun-
tered sharp turn in the road Just
south of the cemetery at Hartford,
Tomas r. Walsh, Sioux Falls insur-
ance agent, overturned the big auto
mobile he was driving home early
Friday morning and was crushed to
death beneath it. Ray Flemming, a
travelling salesman of Sioux Falls,
who was with him, was also partly
caught under the car, but escaped
with broken arm and some
bruises.
The accident happened about l
o'clock in the morning. The car, a
seven passenger Studebaker, was re-
Gently stolen from Madison, Wis,
and located at a point north of Wa
tertown. Walsh as agent of the
United States Fire Insurance COM
pany, volunteered to go and drive it
back, and picked up Flemming at
Huron.
AT the top of a steep hill, Flem-
ming directed Walsh to turn to the
east but instead he appear to have
stepped on the accelerator and
swerved sharply to the west, the car
turning over.
Flemming when he regained con-
sciousness hailed a passing auto and
obtained help, having extricated him
self. Coroner Miller was notified
and brought the body to Sioux Falls.
Mr.. Walsh was about 40 years old
and with his wife and two children,
occupied an apartment at the Knowl-
es building on South Phillips avenue
He had resided here about nine years.
His daughter graduated at the Sioux
Falls high school this year and his
son is ticket taker at the Strand
theatre. Both Walsh and Flemming
are members of the Marquette Coun-
Gil, Knights of Columbus.

New Laws Affecting
Hunters Are Explained

Pierre, Aug. Now that all
hunters licenses for 1920 have ex-
pired and it will soon be time to re-
new them, a new law with reference
to the license for small game is of
special interest to hunters through
out the state, the legislature, having
amend the old law in several partic-
ulars.
Under these amendments resident
hunters of small game are given the
option of taking out of the regular
$1.00 license or a special license
costing $500 in leu of the $1.0O Ii
cense. These special licenses will
permit the holder to ship to any
point within the state not to exceed
fifty birds. Applications for them
must be made direct to the state
warden and it is optional with him
whether to issue a license or not in
any particular case; the law gives
him discretion in the matter. The
applications must specify to what ad-
dress the birds will be stopped. The
licenses will have ten coupons, each
good for the shipment of five birds,
and coupon must of course be at
tached to each shipment The cou-
pons are to authorize any common
carrier to receive and transport the
game in accordance with the terms.
AS is generally known, the original
law specifically prohibited shipping
game within or without the state,
the exception being made where a
resident Of the state accompanied
the shipment or carried it with him.
The special license amendment was
made to enable a resident of the
state to send game home while on Z
hunting trip and is not intended in
any manner to permit promiscuous
shipping Of game.
Another amendment to the license
law is one that provides that no per.
son shall be entitled to a resident
hunters license who has not lived
within the state six months preced-
ing the time of making application
for the license and he must be fifteen
years of age unless the license is ap-
piled for by parent of child un,
der that age.

IRISH QUESTION
is SETTLED
ANNOUNCEMENT AND DETAILS
TO BE FORMALLY MADE
SOON.

Dublin, Aug. 1.-Settlement of the
Irish question awaits only formal
announcement, according to authori-
tative information today. President
De Valera and HIS cabinet were said
to have accepted an enlarged offer
from Great Britain which will make
Ireland a republic in everything but
name. listers position has report
ed to have been settled by permit
ting her to maintain a subordinate
parliament until different terms can
be arranged. The cabinets decision
followed the return here yesterday
of Art O'Brien from London. 1t was
commonly reported he carried an i'm
portant communication from Premier
Lloyd George. Before formal an
nouncement of the agreement is
made it is expected all members of
the Irish parliament will be released
and permitted to ratify the cabinets
decision. De Valera has already
called for such meeting this. week
and arrangements previously had
been made for the release of those
still in prison. Details of the settle
ment were withheld but the basis
of it is that Ireland is to have the
standing of a dominion with even
greater powers than Canada, it was
stated. Art O'Brien's mission to
London was carefully guarded. On
his return here yesterday he con-
ferred with De Valera.

TOREJECT ADVANCE
ARMS CONFERENCE
PRESIDENT HARDING AND SEC
RETARY HUGHES MAKE PLANS
KNOWN.

Washington, Aug. President
Harding and Secretary of State C. E.
Hughes will not listen to pleas from
any source that there be a prelim-
mary conference on reduction of ar
maments and Far Eastern problems.
The administration has determined
to take a firm stand in the face of
many unofficial reports, emanating
particularly from Great Britain, that
efforts would be made to bring about
a conference in advance of the main
conference in order to accommodate
the British dominion premiers who
are greatly interested in the outcome
of the discussions.
The president and his secretary of
state know that any such prelimin-
airy conference. whether justly or un-
justly, would be regarded with sus-
picion by the world and particularly
by some of the powers which might
not be represented at the preliminary
discussion. They insist that nothing
shall occur between now and the
time for tho conference to be called
by the president which could be con
strued as an attempt to frame up an
agenda or to determine the scope of
the discussions in secret.
Much embarrassment arose at Ver-
sailles over just that thing, the prac-
tise of representatives of some of the
larger powers getting their heads to-
gether and determining what should
be done
The suggestion has been made that
the British dominion premiers, while
en- route home from England, stop
in Washington for informal talks
with the president and secretary of
state. There would be no objection
to that.
What the president wants to do
and proposes to do now that the con-
ference is assured, is to discuss free
ly with all the powers invited to par
ticipate, the agenda for the confer
ence.
President Harding today express
ed himself as delighted over the
progress of affairs relating to the
forthcoming international conclave.
Exact date has not been fixed and
will not be until all the powers
have been consulted. The president
still thinks Nov. IL, Armistice day,
is the best guess.
If ii should develop that an ear
lier date would be advisable, the
president will be glad to accept such
time, possibly late in September or
early in October.

NEW DEPARTMENT
WILL BE ACTIVE
STATS AGRICULTURAL BODY TO
GIVE EARNEST SUPPORT TO
FARMERS OF SOUTH DA-
kOTA.

Pierre, Aug. 1.-The policy of the
new South Dakota department of
agriculture is being outlined, and it's
principal feature is that of assistance
of any movement which has for its
purpose the actual assistance of the
farmer in getting the largest amount
of the crops he produces. In this
line they are continuing the policy
of the old marketing department in
building up the associations which
have been formed for this purpose
and are assisting any such organiza-
tions to get a proper start when a
new local organization is formed,
and to devote itself to the interest of
the farmers and their prosperity.
The new department has appointed
F. o. Simonson as terminal represen-
tative at Sioux Falls, this following
his position as deputy in the mar
keting department at the same loca-
ton.
They have also named M. r. Bene-
dict, Of Huron, secretary of the
South Dakota Farm Bureau fedora
ton, as representative of the de-
partment at the hearing before the
interstate commerce commission at
Washington on August Is.
At this hearing the matter of a
general reduction of grain rates from
the northwestern states to all term
inal markets will be the issue. Mr..
Benedict, who has done great deal
of work along the lines of cost pro-
duction and marketing costs, has
wide range of information on these
subjects and has been selected on ac-
count of his intimate knowledge
along these lines.

woman to settle down to sitting. the

Swimmers Find
Strange Animal

Yankton, Aug. 1.-Swimmers at
the confluence of the Jim and Mis-
souri, rivers have reported encount-
ering strange water animal, re-
sembling in some features an alliga-
tor. Fishermen in that vicinity de-
clare it is "water-dog," while 9TH
ers believe it may be an otter. 1t has
a head resembling that of puppy
dog, according to some of the SWIM
mers, with small ears, blunt snout
and large fiery eyes, while the tail is
broad and heavy. The animal is about
four feet long, with a grayish back
and yellow belly. i

EXTRA PARLEY IS
OPPOSED BY U. S.
WILL FIGHT PRELIMINARY SES-
SION TO THE MAIN DISARMA-
MENT MEETING.

Washington, d. c., Aug. lit
was indicated today that the United
States would reject any suggestion
for separate parleys with any of the
powers invited to participate in the
conference on limitation of arma-
ment and discussion of far eastern
questions. There was an intimation
that at least one of the nations con-
cerned had suggested the advisability
of such a partial conference.
Secretary Hughes continued today
his official silence, both on the new
the governments and as to sugges-
tions that a preliminary conference
be held of all the invited powers. II
has been made clear in an informal
way, however, that the United States
is convinced that no real benefit can
come from such pre-conference dis
cussions.
If a suggestion for a parley of a
part of the conferees had been or
should be suggested, it is known that
the United States would regard 1T as
a discourtesy to those not invited to
attend and one that might well
arouse the suspicion of powers left
on the outside. To call such a meet
ing by some other name, would not.
it was informally and unofficially
declared, greatly alter its status,
since it was declared to be possible

the powers as to the date for the
conference are proceeding.

city. He states that in his trip from
Hill City he ran into a severe wind

the car for fear it would be blown
off the road.
1t was stated that after the storm
hail was piled on the road to depth
of several feet. During the storm a
number of windows were reported
broken at Redfern, where the storm
