are nervously awaiting news OF the situation
which is already serious enough" 81 doubt"
he says" whether they will be able to resume
their attacks on the west, because they are
forced to remove all their disposable forces
elsewhere. Already the proud Prussian
innkers hear the hoof beats of the Cossacks
echoin9 through their~ancestral halls, soon
they will demand protection ard the Kais-
err cannot refuse to listen. For the Germans
the present calm means increasing anguish,
while for us it means eager expectation"
This sentiment is SO strong that it tas
been officially deprecated in Petrograd,
where the headquarters staff warns the pub
lie that rnmonrs should be received with
reserve. At the very beginning of the war
the Staff recommended the necessity for
receiving with reserve all news not official.
"Undoubte lly," it says, "the German plan TO
pierce our front on the left bank of theVIstula,
md to surround u pnrt Of the Russian army,
has completely failed. 1t appears from com
munications to the Staff, from the Command
erin chief, that the Germans have been
compelled to fall back from Ryzow and
Tuszyu and through Brzeziny on to Stry-
kow, under conditions the most disad-
vantageous to them, and they have
suffered enormous losses in their re-
treat. The fighting, however is, not yet
flushed, although the battle on our whole
front is developing very fayodrably for US.
The enemy still continues to offer a stubborn
resistance and it is impossible therefore to
consider the operation has ended. 1t is
necessary to await the revelation of the final
results, in the firm assurance that the Rus
sian troops are fully conscious of the neceS-
sity for successfully concluding their heroic
efforts in order TO finally shetter the enemy's
resistance"

Since the United States indicated that it
was willing that England should deal direct
with Colombia and Ecuador concerning the
alleged violations of neutrality, the Foreign
Office has taken no further action. Never
theless, the denials that a German wireless
station is being operated in Colombia, and
the islands belonging to Ecuador are used
by the Germans for naval operations are not
accepted as finally disposing OF the case.
The suggestion by the South American Gov
ernments that the belligerents should with
draw their warships from South American
waters is declared by English officials to be
impracticable, and the same view is enter.
tanned concerning the suggested creation of
a neutral zone off the coast OF South
America. it being contended that it would
afford an even better chance for warships to
lie in wait for steamships engaged in the
overseas trade. The Foreign Office is eager
to take action which would rel1eve South
American shipping from its present serious
handicaps, but doubts the effectiveness OF
the measures proposed.

played, and some of the Yuses they have en-
ployed to deceive the enemy have been
attended with the best results, while they
have doubtless kept superior forces in front
of them at bay. Our IIdian sappers and
miners have long enjoyed a high reputation
for skill and resources, and without going into
detail can. confdently assert that, through
out their work in this campaign, they have
fully justified that reputation. The General
Officer commanding the Indian Army de-
scribes the conduct of these troops, in
strange and new Surroundings, as highly
satisfactory, and / nm enabled from my own
observations to fully corrob crate this state

CONDEMN LAND FOR
UNDERGROUND CROSSING

The board of city commissioners
took action Monday night towards
condemning certain land along the 500
and the G. N. for underground cross
ings. Resolutions authorizing City
Attorney McGee to begin action were
passed. These crossings are to be To-
Gated along Hazel street, west Of the
G. N. passenger depot. Residents of
the west end of the city petitioned the
commission to take this action as the
school board is considering construct
ing a building on site just north of
the depot, an option for which has
been secured from the Watne Land
Co. The board will not buy the site
however, unless these underground
passages are built

The Minot Rustler records the mix
ing of beer with snuff as responsible
for the passing Of Billy O'Brien, and
calls the joke dastardly act.
The Bank of Minot announced that
twenty-six homestead proofs were
made in one week by it's clients, and
that nearly one hundred were ready,
so the country was settling up fast.
The firm Of Fox and German in
Towner dissolved partnership, R. A.
Fox going onto a ranch with cattle,
and Robert German "set out to try his
luck" with railroad contracts. Both
men made good.
The Dakota Eagle, published at
Willow City, was eighteen months old,
and published Volume four, number
one, which made the neighboring pa
pers rise to remark that there is no
other place on earth where the year
is so short as at Willow city.
Mrs. Ole Hovind was visiting along
Mouse river. Her son, Hans Hovind,
lis now busy and popular deputy
sheriff in Minot, and his violin playing
is much enjoyed by those who have
the privilege of hearing him.
Reverend T. S. Reishus visited his
parishioners all along the Mouse riv-
er, and SO we'll did they like him that
even today, the sons of his old par
ishioners make a trip to his present
home in Wisconsin in order that he
may marry them.
H. C. Hansbrough was reelected
Mayor of Devils Lake. He afterwards
served North Dakota as U. S. Senator
for eighteen years. He is now doing
literary work, and has published more
than one book, which is qnite natural
for the man who was so long editor Of
the Inter Ocean.
w. E. Purcell Of Wahpeton was ap-
pointed United States district attor-
ney. He made good, too, and nearly
twenty years later, Governor Burke
appointed him United States Senator,
when the health of Fountain Thomp-
son of Cando failed and he felt COM
PEELED to resign.

DR.. Belyea, mayor; P. H. MacNamara,
City Treasurer. The aldermen were
Wakefield Davis, P. Field, G. Mason;

KRAFCHENCKO, THE MUIR
DERER, HAS ESCAPED

Krafchenko, murderer of the Plum
Coulee banker, escaped from the city
Jail at Winnipeg, and is now at large.
Rewards aggregating $4,000 are Of
fered for his arrest. In some way the
prisoner got hold of an automatic re-
volver and covered his two guards,
locking them in closet. He escaped
from the third story of the Jail by
means of a common clothes line. 1t
is believed that he lay hidden all day
Saturday in an old G. P. R. engine,
making his escape in the darkness that
might.

Former Ward County Boy in Trouble.

The Geneva (Ind) Herald tells of
serious trouble that Walter Sullivan
and Joseph Engle, the latter former
resident Of this county, got into be-
tween Bryant and Geneva, Ind, just

company with two others threw q
number Of steel rails from the stands
along the railroad tracks and placed a
dump bed on the tracks. This was
struck by train and demolished.
They were arrested, and because Of
their youth, taken before q juvenile
Judge who fined them one dollar and
costs.
