Tem- peratures during the night ranged from the freezing point to as low as 18 degrees above zero reported at Dickinson. The mercury fell to 28 in Bismarck during the night.

Governor's Proclamation Calls for Legislation to Pre- vent Future Wars A call for passage of national leg- islation conscripting all material, manpower and wealth by the govern- ment in event of future wars, was sounded Wednesday in a proclama- tion by Gov. Ole H. Olson urging ob- servance of Saturday 9s "forget-me- rot day,” éd by the disabled American veterans ‘of the world war. He termed war a “great savage madness” to be “guarded against vig- ilantly, as ceaselessly, as diligently, aud as courageously as we gual egainst deadly danger to our loved ones.” Observance of the day, Gov. Olson declared, should direct the flaming wrath of the public against the greed, jthe falsehoods and the misunder- standings that are inevitably the foundations of war.” In urging. support of the forget- me-not sale campaign by the veter- ans, Olson deplored “the necessity of | such @ campaign. One of the lessons of the world war seems to be that the public soon forgets. Those who emerged from that gigantic and hor- rible struggle as human wreckage can never forget and they should not be forced to remind us of our du- ties by the plaintive appeal: of the little blue flower called forget-me- not.” “Unfortunately there are those "who in various ways deliberately promote war and thousands who thoughtlessly follow such leadership. Revelations of the committee investigating the manufacture and sale of munitions should shock every civilized con- science into a passionate storm of protest against greed which fosters war and yet I fear that only few will heed. Fewer still will act.’ Expressing the fear that “we are not done with war” he earnestly asked that “the people of North Da- kota unite to the support of the ser- vice organizations in the movement to remove and lessen some of the causes of war by taking from the un- worthy hands of international and soulless munition makers the manu- facture, sale and distribution of all munitions of war and the placing of such functions in the hands of the national government.” Women Voters Elect Miss Mabel Vaaler Grand Forks, N.

Richard Hauptmann, unemployed German carpenter illegally in this country, was indicted by a Bronx county grand jury Wednesday om a charge of extortion as the receiver of the $50,000 Col. Charles A. Lindbergh paid two and @ half years ago in an ineffectual effort to ransom his kid- naped’ son. The indictment was returned with- in three hours after Col. Lindbergh had appeared before the grand jury and told them his own story of the ransom negotiations conducted through Dr. John F. Condon, Bronx educator and the “Jafsie” of the ran- som efforts. The true bill contained but one count, alleging extortion of the $50,000 ransom payment. At District Attorney Foley’s office it was said Hauptmann probably would be arraigned Thursday on a bench warrant issued when the in- dictment was handed up. The maximum sentence upon con- viction for extortion is 20 years’ im- prisonment. Lists 24 ions In summing up evidence against Hauptmann, District Attorney Foley was asked for an indictment on the following grounds: 1, The kidnaper’s ransom notes in- dicate their author was a German, as is Hauptmann. 2.
