Sioux County Defense Board Deliberates German Language Case
Sioux County Council of Defense met in Orange City to review complaints with most cases closed. One case focused on Rev. F. J. Brune of Alton who admitted preaching in German and pled loyalty to the wartime committee Gov. Harding and U S government. Brune pledged support and donated 100 to the Knights of Columbus war fund as part of his bond. County delegates also reported Democratic and Republican candidates chosen for supervisor seats at Orange City conventions.
