RESIGNS FEDERAL OFFICE
Quilted States Attorney at Fargo tc
Step Out.

The fact Edward Engerud has re-
signed office of United states attor-
ney has been made known. 1t is re-
ported that NJ. A. Hildreth, now as

tice and his federal office. His res
ignation, with the request that it take

STATE BUILDING IN 1914
Development League Sends Inquiries
to Every County,


An effort to determine the extent of
building operations in North Dakota
during The present year is being made
by the North Dakota Development
league, with headquarters at Grand
Forks, the purpose being to show the
world that North Dakota isn't affected,
to any material extent, by depressed
business conditions that may have pre-
vailed in other sections.
The league has sent inquiries to ev-
cry County in the state, to the news
papers, asking detailed informstion as
to building operations, such informa-
ton to cover the number of new build
ings erected, divided by class, such as
schools, public buildings, commercial
buildings, residences, as we'll as the
cost, etc. Y
The fact that North Dakota has had
an exceptional building year came to
the attention of the Development
league through building operations in
a number of sections and the league
officials believe the situation is gen
eral throughout the state.
Such information, when obtained,
will be spread broadcast over the
United States and much excellent ad-
vertising will accrue to the state as a
result.

SAW MAN WITH AUTO COAT
Grand Forks Resident Didn't Know
His Car Was Gone.

T. T. Risteigen of Grand Forks lost
his auto and did not know it until he
saw his automobile coal being worn
by a young fellow on the street the
next morning. Risteigen was talking
with a friend when his attention was
attracted to an alteration between
two men, apparently intoxicated. Ris-
teigen noticed that one of them had
on his coat and told him so. The
man protested. but was locked UP
nevertheless.
Risteigen then went to louk for his
ear, and it proved to be aone. He
met another young man who asked
him if his car was gone, saying that
he had been invited to ride with a
bunch the night before and the party
had been obliged to walk four miles
into town when the car broke down.
The car was found shortly afterward,
somewhat bunged up, but not badly
damaged.

trains died" from lack of coal about
twenty miles east of Santa Cruz.
Two other locomotives were sent
from here to rescue the stranded

The rout Of Hills troops is said to
have been primarily due the wound
ing of Lieutenant Colonel Gomez,
commanding the advance guard.

AIRMAN DROPS FOUR BOMBS
German Flyer Kills Man and CrippIes
Child in Paris.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-Four bombs we're
dropped on the city from a German
aeroplane. One missile, exploding in
Avenue du Trocadero at the corner
of Rue Freyoint, blew the head from
the shoulders of a man who was stand
ing on the ORR with his daughter,
and crippled the child. The other
bombs did little damage.
Crowds, taking advantage of a
beautiful autumn day, we're prone
nading on the banks of the Seine
when the aerial warrior appeared al
most directly over the Eiffel tower.
1t is believed that the first bomb
dropped was intended for the wireless
station on the tower or for the nearby
buildings containing army stores.

ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

The great battle of the Aisne con-
tinues with undated fury. The Ger.
man attack on the Meuse ~fortresses
has been moderately successful; more
so thar the attack of the allies at the
other end of the line against General
Won kluck. A gap has been made
through which the Meuse has been
crossed, but the great entrenched
camps at Verdun and TouI, marking
the termini of the Meuse fortified.
tions, have withstood the assaults.
If Verdun and TouI were to be
taken the French would have to in
crease their resistance to keep from
being turned. The French have had
the advantage of the protection Of
the Meuse Notifications on their right
since the battle of the Aisne began.
If they are deprived of the assistance
eff this steel and concrete wall they
must u the danger of being fIanked,
or redispose their troops so as to
send reinforcements to the southeast
corner of the battlefield.
The higher strategy of both sides,
therefore, now seems to be develop
ing at opposite angles Of the battle
square. The allies seem to be pre-
pairing a new offensive in the north
west, while the Germans are increas-
ing their exertions in the southeast.
At one of these opposite extremes,
if either side ~redisposes troops skill
fully, the result Of the entire battle
may be quickly decided.

German Attacks Are
More Violent,
FRENCH AND BRITISH
STAND THEIR GROUND
Berlin Denies Enemy Is Vic
toriouSIy Advancing.

London, Sept. 29.-Furious fighting
continues in northern France, where
the allied French and British armies
are at grips with the German forces
in what is characterized as the cru
cial action of the battle of the Aisne.
Beyond admitting this fact the Off
cial statements are vague. Few de-
tails OF the struggle which may be
the turning Of the western campaign
have been given the waiting public.
One sentence in which there is no
change in the situation" epitomizes
the official reports from London, Par
Is and Berlin. The allies say they
have made slight advances here and
there, notably on the heights of the
Meuse. The German official state
ment, however, declares that re
ports concerning a victorious advance
OF the enemy are untrue"
Both the British and French official
statements refer to the violence of
the attacks made by the Germans,
who seem to have redoubled their eff
forts in an attempt to hurl back the
allied line. The reports Indicate, how
ever, that the French and British
nave given nc ground before the on.
slaught of the invaders.
Tighten Censorship Lid.
A vigorous censorship has evident
~ e e imposed in London. regard
ing the operations at the front, as
very little news is being permitted to
come through. The war officials
probably hesitate to raise the hopes of
people without some decisive result
having been attained and fear that
the publication of even the smallest
details of the operations might be
of aid to the Germans.
P~etrograd reports officially that the
Galicia, is invested completely by the
Russians and that the main Austrian
army in retiring behind the Carpa-
thians into Hungary, pursued by the
Russians. Berlin, however, declares
that reports Of the fall of two of the
Przemysl forts are Inventions"
The Montenegrins, who have allied
themselves with the Servians in the
conflict with Austria, are making ad-
yances, according to advices. A dis
patch from Cettinje, Montenegro, says
the M~Ontenegrins are within artillery
range OF Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia.
French Warship Sunk.
The Austrian forts at Cattaro, Dal-
malta, on Sept. 10, sank a large
French warship, according to a dis
patch to the Cologne Gazette. This
ship was one Of a fleet Of eighteen
which was met by a salvo from one
OF the Austrian forts as it approached
the stronghold. The rest OF the fleet
r~etreated hastily. says the dispatch,
after the French ship was sunk.
The Austrian government has con-
Escated the Canadian Pacific compa-
ny's securities and money deposited
in Vienna, according to reports, as
we'll as the company's observation
cars running OF Austrian railroads.
This is the result Of the company's
alleged refusal to pay the dividends
of Austrian shareholders.
Advices received in Paris say that
the rapid increase in grain prices in
Austria is causing anxiety in official
circles. Farmers are holding their
supplies Tor higher prices and the gov
eminent proposes to fix a minimum
price for this commodity.

Madame X'' tells the gripping story Of
a woman who in her youth has chosen the
primrose path, and who in age returns to
her native land in shame and sorrow, but
always with the undying "mother-love"
as the strongest and great redeemfng pas
sion of her misspent life. She sIays her
advenrurer companion to prevent his
bringing sorrow to her son by exposing
her own life, and then maintains rigid
silence, refusing even to offer any excuse
for her crime. for fear that the story of
her life may reach the ears Of the world
and thus bring blight upon the career
Of her boy. In the courtroom scene fate
has decreed a dramatic climax for her
suffering, for the young lawyer who has
been appointed to defend the mysterious
woman Is her own son. No situation
ever devised for the stage has surpassed
this in dramatic intensity and moving
pathos.
