Vigilance and Drastic Methods of the One Almost Matched by the In genuity of the Other- Fraud Orders Help. Washington.—The post office depart ment is determined to stop the opera tion of European lottery agents Jn the United States, and so stringent have become the department's rulings in this matter that a newspaper was warned by the department recently that it must not print again the re Bult of lottery winnings abroad. The same dispatch was published in many other papers, but the postmaster of the city in which the newspaper re ferred to is published came near con fiscating the entire mail edition of the paper in his town. Either through ignorance of Ameri can laws or through hope of evad ing those same statutes, foreign lot tery concerns annually flood the United States with thousands of cir culars advertising foreign lotteries. There is no check on the mailing of these advertisements abroad, as the foreign postal laws do not prevent the use of the mails for such purposes. Usually the foreign lottery men will mail a big batch of circulars to the United States, addressed to promi nent business men in various cities. The usual appeal of the advertise ments is based on the statement that many of the wealthy families of for eign countries are participating and that the winnings are so considerable that a well-to-do business man can afford to take a small chance. The very volume of these circulars Is what usually results in their de tection. When a quantity is received at New York or some other port of mail entry the post office officials usu ally suspect their real nature, and across the face of each letter they 3tamp a notice to the postmaster at the letter's destination that it is sup posed to contain unmailabie matter, This means that when the postmaster I at Chicago, for instance, or one of his employees comes across the letter it Is held and the addressees required to come to the office and open the let ter in the presence of a post office offi cial. In this way the department of- I ficials learn the contents, and in case the letter was mailed by a lottery con ccrn abroad the department issues a fraud order against it. It is impossible, of course, to stoj all mail matter coiateg into the Uni ted States from these firms. In fact a great' deal may slip in after the passing of the fraud order, because the lottery concern is usually wise enough to keep its name off the out side of the nevelope. But no matter how it may flood the country with literature it is altogether another mat ter for the recipient on this side to answer. Notice of the fraud order has been issued meanwhile to the postmaster at New York and to all other points of foreign mail entry and egress. The department will not permit the dis patching of letters or mail of any kind to the concern or individuals who have been "posted." A prosecu tion, however, cannot follow on evi ience contained in the letter ad dressed to the lottery concern. The American may be mailing money for a lottery ticket and thereby violating the law, but the department cannot open the letter. It is properly stamped and returned to the sender, with a notice that no mail is carried by the government for the Individual or cor poration to which it is addressed. And that usually ends the efforts of the American to get a ticket, unless he happens to have a friend abroad, or unless he cares to use the cables, which is a very expensive proposition. In this country the law is so gen erally known that few persons try to put across an actual lottery. They usually try to rig up a virtual lottery so disguised as to escape the detec tion of the department. It speaks well for American ingenuity, how ever, to say that the variety and number of these "home made" schemes defy enumeration. Many of them masquerade as con tests of skill, and some are so skill fully rigged up from a legal point of view that it requires the closest analysis and study to arrive at their real nature. These include so-called Investment schemes, home-buying propositions, endless-chain ideas and the like. Newspapers are frequent offenders in their efforts to increase circulation. A warning, however, from the post office officials is usually sufficient to cause an abandonment of the scheme. One newspaper, however, appealed to the courts from the decision of the post office department not to per mit copies of the paper to go through the mails so long as it published a scheme, which the department said was a lottery. The court refused- to bold for the publisher- Forty Miles for a Bath. Oatman, Ariz.—How would you like to walk forty miles every time you took a bath?

The crowds are stiU anxiously await ing an opportunity to see "Tlie Battle Cry of Peace," which shows at the Bismarck and Orpheum theatres this evening. Last night many had to be turned away on account of the seat sale having been so great that the seating capacity of the two houses was taxed to the utmost. Interesting Lesson Effective. Everywhere, F.riday, the subject matter of "The Battle Cry of Peace" was discussed. People who had not given the picture and its mission any thought previously to the time it was shown, openly stated that the screen story and the many scenes depicted had made a very definite impression upon their lives.

The story of preparedness as it ap peared at the theatres, is a story that will mold the lives and shape the fu ture of (he many ho gave careful at tention to the statements of the auth or of "Defenseless America," Hudson Maxim. Matinee This Afternoon. There will be a matinee this after noon and the final show will be put on tonight when the last opportunity for the people of Bismarck to see this great picture will be given. The man agement' of the theatres have worked hard to please the crowds and have succeeded in their efforts. And every thing connected with the picture play has been done for the educational ben efit of the people. Enormous Effort. That the joint work of the t'wo show houses in bringing this play to Bis marck, was a big task, all know and bespeaks the efforts of the people to give the playgoing public a chance to see not only romances but the great est dramas of an age of activity. mm PROF, Fargo, X.
