PARIS ANXIOUS At
SE|CE PROSPECTS
Arrangements go Forward
Rapidly for Defense of City
Against the Germans.

Paris, Aug. 29.-Freparations for
the siege of Paris are being rushed to-
day. General Gallieni. an expert in
defensive operations has taken COM
mand of the troops that garrison the
forts about the capital. He succeeded
General Michel as military governor
of Paris. The latter will go to the
front.
These steps are officially stated to
be "only necessary precautions in con-
junction with military operations"
But this announcement is not sufficient
to calm the fears aroused by the sud
den formation of a new cabinet. 1t
is expected that within "a hours the
passenger train service will be prac-
tically suspended by a. flood Of freight
traffic bringing to the capital supplies
to stock the government store houses.
Freight rains are already being made
up at town in central agricultural dis
trict.

Send Wounded South.
The government is taking precau-
tions to send most of the wounded to
southern and western France. and a
few to Paris Refugees from Belgium
and northern France are not permitted
to remain here. This city Is simply a
way station towards southern and
western towns.
Americans and other foreigners in
the capital are beginning to under
stand that their presence in the city
will not be desirable.
Appeals to Americans.
Ottawa, Aug. 29.-"I can get 1OO,-
900 Americans If I want them" said
1T Is the struggle for liberty that
appeals to the Americans" Colonel
Hughes added that a distinguished
American had offered to supply him
with 1000 experienced ditchers for
trench work. He admitted hat he
had refused all these offers with re-
%luctance, as he had the greatest ad-
miration for the American fighting
man.
An unexpected communication from
the United States is to the effect that
many Germans in Florida are anxious
to join the British ranks in their fight
against autocracy and militarism.

Fargo College Plans
for Biggest Year at

That this is to 5e the biggest year

shown by the ambitious plans adopted

Not only will preparations be made

BUSINESS IS LIFTING

The following is the complete di-
gest of business as given out by the
First National bank for June:
w have recently had demonstra-
ton of the idea that sufficient pes
simistic talk will bring about depress-
ed business conditions. In these re-
ports year ago we referred to the
then general complaint about business
and called attention to the unusually
large bank clearings, high record for
exports, the small number of business
failures of any consequence, the small
number of idle freight cars, the in
crease in railroad gross earnings and
many other factors which showed that
the month of May, 1913. was, in reality,
a remarkably good month of business.
Complaints were general at that time
and without real reason. A year of
this kind of complaining has continue

LESS WHISKY
BUT MORE BEER

Washington, July 4.-Americans
drank less whiskey during the past
IL months than they did the year be-
fore, but they consumed more beer and
smoked a great many more cigarettes.
Reports to the internal revenue com
missioner just made public showed
that receipts for fiscal year just clos
ed totalled $S64,069 less than for the
previous year, and most of this decline
was due to the marked falling off in
tax collected on distilled spirits.
Detailed statements for the month
of June are not as usual, but in the
first IL months of the fiscal year there
was a decrease of $3,734,857 in the in
come from the manufacturer and sale
of distilled liquor, due in part to re-
duct1on of part Of licenses. Estimates
in the June receipts indicated that the
total decline in distilled liquor tax for
IL months will probably be $4,25O, 600.
Receipts from tobacco taxes show an
approximate increase over last year of
$2,800,000. This gain is due almost
entirely to a phenomenal increase in
the cigaret trade. The gain in re-
ceipts from fermented liquor, beer, ale
and the like was about $36O,00O.

could be educated in America.
She herself has had rather roman

1907, in Toronto, to a stockbroker
named George Osborne Hayne, but
about three years later one Justin B.

capitalist, was mentioned in a COM
plant Hayne filed with his wife's law
yer. This difficulty, however, vas ad-
justed, for MacdougalPs father had his
son arrested in Chicago in November
1911, while Justin was hurrying east
| to marry Mrs. Hayne. The young man
was put in an asylum, and Hayne read
about it in the newspapers and went
around to the Hotel Marlton, in West
Eighth street, New York city, to effect
a reconciliation with his wife.
Last January Mrs. Hayne got a di-
vorce from her husband in New Jer-
sey.

by Mrs. Hubbell, teacher of rare
ability.
Pre- professional courses which have
proved such a great success in the de-
partments of medicine, theology, archi-
lecture and journalism will be increas-
ed by the addition of courses in sales
manship. law, forestry, commerce and
engineering. The work done in these
departments will be recognized for ad-
vance credit by the leading profession
al schools. All of the courses have been
strengthened wherever possible.
The young mems and young wom-
ems Christian associations are giving

of their work for the coming year.
