touch with the work that is being ac-
complished.
Among the speakers of the evening
were Chas. A. Thurston, who insisted
upon the necessity of cooperation as
a means Of bringing about the desired
results. He called attention to the
fact that the country in which we
live is, like many older countries, 60
ing through process of evolution.
The necessity of mixed farming re-
ceived due notice. One of the salient
features of his discourse was the ref
erence to the need of more people to
work the lands. He very appropri-
ately called to mind the old Norwe-
gian Legend wherein the daughter of
the giant brought the tiny stranger
who had been blowing in the field, to
her castle. The parent giants bade
her return the tiller of the soil to his
abode for the reason that from now
on new people. were to be possessed Of
the many acres which in the past
went untitled.
Editor Allen of the Review called
to the fact that in as
much as he was formerly a resident
Of Billings he had there caught the
spirit of exploit and had kept it. Hef

w. 7. Perham, of this city, was
successful in securing the contract for
the construction of the new city hall
which will be erected curing the COM
ing season. The consideration is $24,-
94l. Among the others who bid upon
the proposition were the Bismarck
Construction Co.. Lange Engineering
Co., of Great Falls; Chairman & Co.,
of Miles City; J. H. Wagner, Glen
dive; Piper Construction Co., and
Gagnon g. Co., Of Billings. The next
lowest bidder was the Piper Construc-
tion Co. The highest being the Lange
Engr. Co., Of Great Falls.
Work on the structure will be start
el as soon as the season permits. Mr..
Perham has been in the city several
years and has already constructed
several buildings of a similar nature
in this locality, chief of which are
the Lincoln and Dawson Co. Schools.
He will start at once to secure the
necessary material so that when the
season opens construction will imme-
diately follow excavation. Either the
Dickinson Or, Hebron brick will be
chosen as it is of real good quality
and attractive in appearance.
A new city hall will supply long
felt need in the city. 1t is, moreover,
further evidence that the Gate City is
progressing. This work is only one
of several that are to be constructed
in the city during the coming season.

suggested many things, the promotion
OF which, would materially aid in a
Greater Glendive''. Among the
most salient suggestions were mar
ket place, better streets and DWELL
ings, boulevards and distributing
houses, flour mill and cooperation
with the railroads which assist US.
His remarks garling the mail order
practice was very much in point. He
concluded his discourse with the en-
nunciation of the line: IF you cant
boost don't roost, be a booster not a
rooster.
Attorney Dan O'Hern, the next
speaker, called attention to the many
advantages derived from chamber
Of commerce, that Glendive is situated
as we'll geographically as any city in
the state as a distributing center and
as field for industry. He suggested
that the professional and business men
meet for an hour every two weeks at
a business mems lunch in order to keep
in touch with what is being done by
the executive committee.
H. A. Sample very succinctly
brought to mind the necessity Of
assisting the producer. Taking the
position of the producer he spoke of
the fact that a market place is most
necessary in order that the farmer
will be assured that he will receive
the proper value from his produce and
livestock. He suggested moreover
that rest room for the convenience
Of the farmers family be initiated.
He also made mention of the fact that
in short time the old school building

Governor Charles r. Miller this morn
ing announced that he would call a spe-
cial session of the legislature sometime
about October l to consider and enact
the revised code for Delaware, provided
the Joint committee of revised statutes
of Senate and House should request him
to call such a session.
Herbert II. Ward and T. Bayard Heis-
ell. comprising the Revised Code Com
mission, several days ago wrote to the
governor to inform him that they had
completed revision and recodifcation OF
laws of Delaware and suggested that they
be considered by the present legislature
in special session, before a new legis-
lature is elected in November This
was suggested as a method OF avoiding
considerable trouble and further revision
should the revised code be thrown into
the next legislature, with a possibility
of conflicting legislation being enacted
before the revised code should be
adopted.
The Legislature early this year au-
thorized the committee on revised
statutes of Senate and House to meet
in vacation to consider and report
upon the revised code, should il be
( finished by the Code Commission. Mr..

on revised statutes in a few days, and
it is expected that the committee on
considering the recodification, which
will be explained by Mr.. Ward and
Mr.. Heisel. will ask the Governor to
call a special session. The Governor
this morning said he would call spe-
cial session as soon as he had re-
ceived a request from the joint COM
mittee on revised statutes, and
thought the session will be sometime
about the first of October.
There is a general feeling among
members of the Legislature that the
session should be confined exclusive
ly to consideration of the revised code,
and that no other subject should be
permitted to be called up even for
discussion in Senate or House. This
plan is advocated to forestall the call
ing up of legislation that would give
some Of the members a chance to
play politics" with the election but
a few weeks distant Governor Miller
has made no effort to bind the Legis-
lators to the consideration only OF
the revised code subject.
The Governor has notified Mr.. Ward
and Mr.. Gray he will be glad to CO.
operate with them in their important
re-arrangement OF the laws of Della
ware by calling a special session.

LONDON, Sept. 4-Probably the
most bitter denunciation of a hostile
nation ever made by a British states
man featured a meeting held at Guild
Hall today TO encourage recruiting.
Premier Asquith, as the chief speaker,
denounced Germany as a barbarian ma
tion, and declared that not since the
Thirty Years War has civilization been
so outraged. No attempt was made by
any of the speakers to disguise the seri-
business of the situation. That men are
badly wanted and all England and her
colonies must accept the responsibility
was the tenor of every utterance
The premier was applauded to the ut
most as he denounced Germany and in
sisted that there could be no defense
He said:
I'VE have received only a fraction OF
the accounts of the countless Outrages OF
these buccaneering levies. They have eX-
acted tribute from the unprotected, from
ihe non -combatants after their defenders
had been compelled to fall back. But
there are certain outrages that stand
out over all to appall the world. Chief
Of these is that greatest crime against
civilization and culture, the worst since
the Thirty Years War, the shameless
holocaust OF irreplacable treasures lit by
blind barbarian vengeance at Louvain

REFINERY FIGHT
over FOR TWO weeks

Today was the date set for the Pru-
Dental Oil Company, the Manor Real
Estate and Trust Company and Nicholas
f. Brady to file reasons with Chancellor
Surtis to show cause why a preliminary
injunction restraining them from using
land in Claymont for the purpose OF

an entirely new battle line. In Russia
Poland, where the Austrian left wing
has been heavily reinforced by the
Germans, the fighting is Of the most
serious character. The Russians are
holdin their lines, content TO remain on
the defensive until the additional rein
forcements now being sent forward from
the concentration district, wilma -Grod
no-Byelostok.
TO the south in Austria, however,
the situation is much different. The
Russians are on the offensive and the
Austrians have been pushed back to-
ward the San river. They are holding
their advanced lines and are concen-
trating on Przemysl, where another
great battle is certain.
The advance of the Russians through
Galicia is declared TO be extremely
rapid. The Cossacks are sweeping the
country in front of the infantry, fall
ing back whenever strong positions are
located.
To the activity of the Russian cav
airy much of the present success is due.
II has deliberately violated the rules of
safety in charging entrenched Austrian
positions, but by doing so have terror
ized the enemy, the official reports say,
and as a result the opposition has lost
much of its forcefulness.
The general staff issued statement
today reviewing the general situation
which was everywhere characterized as
excellent. II is stated that the opera
tions in East Prussia are again being
forced although the Germans are now
present on the Russian advanced lines
in great force. II is admitted the Ger
man artillery has so far proven super
Tor TO the Russian but it is also stated
that additional artillery is now being
sent into action.
The War Office announces the result
of the fighting on September | between
Lublin and Kholm. IL stated that the
Austrians attacked the Russian centre
and were repulsed with the loss of sew
eral thousand men and many rapid-ire
guns.
The official report Of the capture Of
Lemberg on Wednesday by the Russian
forces as received from Grand Duk,
Nicholas was made public today. II
says;
"With extreme Joy and thanking God
