PRICE FIVE CENTI HOW OVERSEAS 8M OPENED BY SUFFRAGISTS 'til Will BE APPROACHED Austria's Affairs Predict a Million Badly There in July Americans Being Rushed Overseas Fast as Conditions will Permit In Order to Hold the Front Allies Must Have Our Men. People are Dissatisfied and Rioting is Taking Place Bohemia and Moravia Said to be About to Revolt. Some time ago a number of Dead- wood's leading women and ardent workers for the cause of circulated netitions for signatures' for amendment or in other words, thosce desiring enfranchisement of women. One of the women who a petition reported that each and every woman whom she approached with this petition signed it.

The suffrage school of methods held here June 11 and 12, had for its instructors Mrs. Frank J. Schul-er of New York Mrs. Albert McMa-hon of Washington, D. and Mis, S.

V. Christ of Miller, South Dakota They held with rapt attention a good ly number of splendid women foi three hours with most convincing arguments why women should have the ballot. The Inspiring thoughts and kindly expressions of these ladies were re- vealed to the audience of listeners bent on hearing every word, in the most pleasing and interesting man- ner possible. Mrs. McMahon was the first speaker on the program.

She spoke of the. successful campaigns in Illinois and Ohio and how they perfected an or- ganization They adopted a politi-the government of the cal plan in organization and enjoyed certain perrogatives. Referring to the chart of South Dakota in the election of the state officers, Mrs. McMahon gave the following figures: Eligible voters' and those not wishing lo vote 40,000. She advised a systematic and prompt effort in the education of the voters.

In a study fine statistics and ancestry by Mrs; Pyie, there 137,000 pt ancestiy, 130,000 German, and 000 Norwegian ancestry. There Is a large proportion of unnaturalized citizens in South Dakota, 119,000 and Americanization of these is nees-Btry, as they have a voice in our government. She dwelt upon the Prussian type of mind, and stated that where these people predominated suffrage suffered the most, and that if the American men would realize these conditions, which are true according to statistics, they would understand the necessity of strong support for suffrage. Mrs. McMahon's unusual intelll- gence, coupled with years of train- jng tn tnjB work, and fluency of speech, enabled her to present her address In a manner which charmed her listeners, and at the close shei naS nearUly apPlauQeu- "er 3 was.

"Organization as a Machine." Mrs. Paul Rewman then introduced the next speaker on the program, Mrs. Frank J. Schuler of New York. After listening to the address of Mrs.

Shiiler of "Methods That Win," It would bo impossible to Imagine a better speaker. In listening to her rapid tire oratory, one can compare her only with the "big guns" on the western front that are dealing the death blow to German autocracy. The work of Mrs. Shuler could be none the less important, because of her fervency in promotion, of the truth, for the welfare of humanity, and placing before the men and women the absolute necessity that the women have the ballot in order that they may share fully and willingly the responsibility of winning this great war for freedom, liberty and justice. Mrs.

Shuler spoke of how profoundly impressed with the gravity of the war New York people were, that the great parades of the soldiers filled their hearts to overflowing in a desire to do their full patriotic duty, before departure for the battlefields New York having been granted suffrage, Mrs. Shuler has come with ber trained forces to direct our efforts in the proper channel, that women of South Dakota may also enjoy this coveted privilege of voting rightly belonging to them. Mrs. Ghrist, of Miller, Hand coun ty, S. who was the last speaker.

is more than devoted to the cause of suffrage because of being the proud mother of a son who is fighting for his country. Mrs. Ghrist believes Tangled WHAT! DEADWOOD ASKS FOR GUNMEN? Sounds like old times. Deadwood wants gunmen. It used to have' em in the gold rush by the bushel and thus acquired some notoriety, but the kind it seeks today is of the peaceful variety.

For Deadwood sent a representative, C. B. Adams, otherwise known as "Pat," to Sioux Falls to secure the 1919 state gun club tournament. And Deadwood has a way of getting there that keeps It on the map. Adams has a reputation and a few friends amone the crack shots of the state so when he takes another delegate asida and whispers something in his ear, a vote for Deadwood has been gained.

They can't resist the lure of conventions in the Black Hills in summer time and old, historic Dedwood gets its share. Those mountain breezes speckled trout, and overflow of hospitality have a pull enough to make a politician green with envy. Watch Deadwood's smoke and Ad ams' trail along, about next June.

In the great assault the wedge in the allied lines was increased to 66 miles, covering a territory from Rheims to the eea. In oxder.

to bold, the front the allies must have extra men. This shows the importapce of rushing the Americans.
