GERMAN WOMEN ALIENS MUST REGISTER It seems that the registration inr German alien women, now on by or- dgr of the Minnesota Public Safety commission, is not generally under- stood in Bemidji,. judging from the resylts, and it sirould be borne in mind that all German women over 14 years of age who are not citizens of the United States must register. They should present themselves at thei’gity building and fill out ques- tionnaires furnished by Chief of Po- lice’Ripple, and failure to do so will bring a severe penalty. This mat- terfghould be attended to as soon as 58ible as the time for registry is of ¥ a'few days’ duration.

T BURNQUIST RESTS, SATISFIED Governor J. A. A.

(By United Press) St,-Paul,-June 19.—Defeated in all contests for state ticket .places on the Republican ticket, the Nonparti- sans, led by Townley have a chance to put across one United States con- gressman. In the Sevehth Minnesota district, Dr. Henrick Shipstead s probably nominated over Congress- man Volstead, incumbent. The latest returns indicate = that Fred Wheaton is nominated for the Democratic state ticket governor- ship. Duluth returns gave Wheaton a lead over Judge Comstock, thought yesterday to be safely nominated. Burnquist’s nomination over Lind- bergh is certain. " a The 'state-wide primaries held Monday furnished much of interest in its varied phases, chief among which is the cleaning up of Lind- bergh, the foe of good government and the enemy of the country that harbors him, but Lindbergh will not suffer for he is the wealthiest man in his county, notwithstanding his attacks upon ‘““the rotten rich.” The result of the balloting shows that Congressman Lundeen of Min- neapolis, another notorious ‘paci- fist,”” has been thrown on the scrap heap by Walter H. Newton, assist- ant county attorney, a splendid young man who entered the field last of a list of five entries. Lun- deen was the man Roosevelt termed a “shadow Hun.” Good Bve Van Lear. Another noteworthy result was the choice of J. E. Meyers, a sub- stantial business man of Minneap- olis, for the mayoralty and in the election he may be depended upon to defeat Minneapolis’ notorious Bol- sheviki mayor, Van Lear. Nelson “Snows” Peterson. Good old Senator Knute Nelson just naturally stepped all over James A. Peterson, backed by Townley et al. Little Falls, home of Lindbergh, repudiated him and overwhelmingly voted for Burnquist, after which the loyalists of that city sent a- huge bouquet to the governor. New Ulm True to Huns. New Ulm, where the famous Fritsche-Pfaender anti-draft meet- ing was staged last July, has the dis- tinction of being the only territory in the state so far to report a ma- jority for James A. Peterson, the Mfnneapdlis attorney convicted of violating the espionage law and un- der sentence of four years in the federal penitentiary. C. A. Lindbergh, Townley league candidate and author of the book “Why Is Your Country At War?" carried New Ulm more than three | TURKS INVITE WAR BY RECKLESS ACTION (By United Press) Washington, June 19.—What may prove to be an act of war against the United States occurred at Attri- bris, Persia, when the Turks took that city and occupied the American and British consulates and attacked an American hospital, ANS Governor Burnquist to one over Governor J. X. A. Burn- quist, loyalty leader. The anti-draft meeting at New Ulm last year was the beginning of a series of meetings at.which opposi- tion to the draft’wds preached, un- til federal and state authorities took a hand, Then followed removal of Dr. A, L. Fritsche as mayor and Albert Praender as ity attorney, for their rt in promoting the meeting. Elects New Mavyor. New Ulm found itself a pariah among uue cities of Minnesota, and tlie loyal business men of the place made a drive to regain its reputa- tion. They put on a great loyalty demonstration at which Governor Burnquist spoke, and got otrt a crowd of 20,000 persons to offset the meet- ing of ‘the 10,000 who attended the anti-draft meeting. When it came to the city election last spring; they rallied to Willibald' Eibner, the man Governor Burnquist had appointed as mayor, and elected him by a good majority. 5 Austrian Drive Utterly Fails; FoelsAffected (By United Press) Rome, June 19.—Captured Aus- trian officers say the Austrian offen- sive has failed.

W, Johnson as he stood in front of the shoe shop of Jacob Jacobson in Kelliher. “Shoe shop, eh?” he continued. “Let's see. Shoe shop—pair and makes shoes and hoots—boots— that's it—hootleg—"" And into the shop strolled J8hn- son. When he emerged he had in tow the proprietor, likewise a quart of whiskey and the Kelliher boot- legger was held in bonds of $1,000 to the November grand jury. Jacohson is no stranger to the booze peddling business, it is said. He is an ex-chief of police of Kelliher and it is said is one of that town’s pre- mier disloyal citizens. It is stated by federal authorities that he has $2,000 in cash and has never bought a Liberty bond, given a nickel to the Red Cross or any other patriotic movement to help the government win the war.
