SPOKE FOR THE CAUSE
OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The cause of woman suffrage finds
an able exponent in Mrs. Kate Selby
Wilder, of Fargo, who gave lecture
Monday evening at the NJ. E. church.
Mrs. Wilder spoke in behalf Of the
constitutional amendment, granting
women the right to vote, to be sub
mitted to the people at the election in
November.
Mrs. Wilder is a ready platform
speaker and adduced many reasons
for giving women the ballot in North
Dakota. "Women d, not want to
ho'd Office" she said. "What we want
is the ballot that we may send men to
the legislature who stand for what we
want-the abolishment of the liquor
traffic, laws to keep women and chill
dren out of the sweat shops and give
them living wages, laws rlaz pension
a mother who is bereft of the family
support instead of separating herself
and children and putting them in
homes that she knows not Of"
Mrs. Wilder was entertained while
in the city at the DR.. Brastad home.
Mrs. Brastad introduced the speaker
at the evening meeting.

Petrograd, Sept. 16.-That the pro.
posed invasion Of Hungary by strong
Russian body has been definitely
abandoned IL intimated here.
1t is realized by the Russian gln-
eral staff that the German resistance
will be very strong and 1t has BEEN
definitely decided that the entire Rus.
sian field army. first and second line
troops. will be retained for the cap.
t,,re of Berlin.
The czar appears determined that
Berlin shall be taken II 1t costs the
Russian empire its entire fighting
strength. Because of this 1t is off.
cially stated there will be no side
trips. The crown land of Buckawina
was taken and the passes through the
Carpathians have been held purely as
defensive measures.
The Russians intend to utilize part
Of Austria for the passage of thair
troops toward Berlin. but 1t is unlike
ly that any real attempt will be made
to invade Hungary proper.
The Servian troops may do so and
will be aided by the Russians in every
way. but the main Russian columns.
after the Austrian army is complete
ly disposed Of. will be sent directly
across Germany II possible.
Russians Assume Offensive.
According to the officials in the
war Office the Russians are again as.
suming the offensive in East Prussia.
The first line troops have been with.
drawn from the Austrian theater of
war and have been sent to the aid Of
General Rennenkampf.
Those Austrians who have escaped
the slaughter in West Poland and
Galicia have reached the west bank
Of the Dneister and are reforming.
They will endeavor to hold the great
fortress Of Przemysl and the railway
northward to Joroslav.
Discussing the general situation
the minister Of war declared:
THE Russian army is to go to Ber-
lin. That is the task assigned to it
BY the allies in the present war. The
entire strength Of the Russians will
be used to this purpose.
I'VE have been compelled to re.
move the Austrians as source Of
danger. but We have not planned any
general invasion Of Hungary or any
attempt to take either Budapest or
Vienna.
"The Austrian army is crushed. Its
losses in killed. wounded and prison.
ers exceed 100000. They have lost
q great part Of their artillery. The
position Of the remnants of their ar.
my is precarious and its surrender
