GLOOM ENVELOPING NATION
LIFTS SOMEWHAT AS
ALLIES PROGRESS.
OSTEND A DESERTED CITY
Fighting in France Fiercest in
History of Nations.
History of Nations.

London, Oct. 15.-The gloom which
has enveloped England since the fall
of Antwerp has been somewhat light
ened by the news contained in off,
cial communications that the allies
are more than holding their own in
the furious fighting along the Franco
Belgian border; but this feeling OF
elation has been tempered 10y the
growing realization that the Russian
invasion, which was believed to be
imminent, must be postponed indefin-
itely, pending the outcome of the bat
tie in Russian Poland.
Fighting Is Fierce.
Some idea of the fierceness of the
fighting in western France can be
gained from the fact that the town
of Roye, now in possession of the al
lies, has been taken and retaken no
less than 12 times. There is no ques-
tion in the minds of British observers
but that the German army is making
desperate efforts to reach the Chan
mel coast, and that the allies are no
less determined to prevent such an
extension of the battle line.
Specializing On Raid.
England already is specializing on
the possibility Of German raid,
which could only become possible if
the Germans are successful in secur-
ing base on the coast opposite the
narrow part Of the English channel
The Germans are reported as having
been turned out of that corner of
French territory which juts into Bel
gium and, having retired, they are
said to be strongly entrenched. This
report declares that the Germans in
tended to dash on Calais coincident-
ally with the attack on Antwerp, but,
their efforts in that direction appear
to have been checked.
Berlin reports the occupation Of
Lille, but declares that other than
this there is nothing new to report on
the western front. " a..g.,s-
Deserted City.
Ostend is now virtually a deserted
city, with its docks still crowded
with terror stricken refugees intent
only on getting as far as possible
from the scenes of suffering.
The repatriation OF Belgian fugl-
tives promises to become a serious
problem, both in England and Hol-
land, and these countries may call
upon the United States to assist in
this work.

Of Grand Forks gave the report OF
the arts and crafts department, which
was followed by the report on home

by Mrs. S. A. Zimmerman of Valley
City.
DR.. Smth Talks.
DR.. Smyth, health officer of Bis

the subject of public health at this
time, discussing the value OF vital
statistics.
The doctor quoted from prominent
health authorities in the United
States, ito show that vital statistics
were essential to efficient and sue
cessful public health work. He also
showed that North Dakota had had in
effect for the past seven years, the
model law recommended by the
United States Bureau Of Vital Statis-
tics but that no effort had been mad 2
to collect and tabulate reliable vital
statistics, by the state health officials.
1t was shown that our statutes
were already numbered with useless
health laws that were not enforced,
and that before there was any furth-
er legislation along public health
lines that a sanitary survey OF the
state should be made by competent
health official and a report made on

The following German official state
ment was received here tonight by
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph COM
pany:
1T is reported officially from Wen
ma that our cavalry has entered the
fortress of Przemysl in Galicia, from
the west. The enemy, perplexed by
the rapidity of our operations in Rus
sian Poland and Galicia, tried in vain
to prevent our relief of the fortress
by detaching troops to the west.
They were unable, however, to re-
sist the advance of our army.
'The Fifth and Sixth Russian in
fantry divisions, attacked by us, have
fled in the direction of the river San.
"The Cossack cavalry division, an
infantry brigade, in strong position
west of Dynow, Galicia, were defeat
ed after brief resistance"
An official communication issued by
the French war Office tonight says:
''The news of the day indicates
gains at several points along the
front.
"On the left wing, to the north Of
Lys, we have taken Estaires. On the
center, to the north and east OF
Rheims, we made an advance of near
ly two kilometers (about mile and
a quarter).
"On the heights of the Meuse, in
the Woevre region, we have made
| gains to the south of ST. MehieE Xear
Marcheville."
| A Havas Agency dispatch from Cha
lons+sur4Marne says the German ar
tillery continues to lombard the cath
edral of Rheims.
A Rome correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph company says a
message from Basel states that the
French have reoccupied Tltkirch and
Muelhausen. The Germans, it is said,
were compelled to use $50 motor cars
to carry off their wounded.

CARRANzA STILL READY
1ORESlGN LEADERSHIP

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 15.-The
Mexican minister, Ysidro Fabela, to-
day denied that Carranza had resign
ed supreme power of the constitu-
tionalists in favor of Antonio Villar-
cal, governor of the state of Nuevo
Leon. Fabela said Carranza consid-
cred the action of Mexico convention
in rejecting his resignation as set
tied question, but if the convention
at Aguas Calientes voted to reconsid-
er the matter, Carranza, with the
same high patriotism and disinterest-
edness, would bow to the will Of the
majority.
Reports from Aguas Calientes say
the question Of the presidential sue
cession was settled at a secret ses-
sion today.

NEUTRALITY DOESN'T
Mean SUSPENSION Of
TRADE WITH Fighters

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-1t be-
came known at the White House to-
day that the administration policy to-
ward foreign loans has undergone no
change. High officials stated that
loans to belligerent countries by pri-
vate individuals in the United States
were in the same class as munitions
of war and other classes of contra.
band trade which American govern
ment neither legally is able nor obli-
gated by International law to prohib-
it. A discussion of the subject was
revived by Acting Secretary of State
Lansing in statement yesterday,
saying that no act Of congress nor
obligation of international law made
it incumbent on the government to
prevent shipment of munitions OF
war or any other commercial transac-
tions of a contra'band character.

clean alfalfa seed before sowing it.
Last year one Stark county man paid
$l.00 per pound for his alfalfa seed,
and from one acre he sold this year
175 bushels for seed, at $1.00 per
pound. He is getting into the alfalfa
seed business as fast as he can, and
no one can blame him. Few seem
to realize the immense profit in al.
falfa.
Some Potato Hill.
One of the most interesting single
displays to he, found in the entire Ex'
position, is contained in the Oliver
county booth. 1t is pile of pota
toes, consisting of eleven monster
spuds with an aggregate weight Of Is
pounds. These mammoth affairs are
said to have come from one hill, con
tanned in the garden of Bert Thurstor
| Of Center, editor and publisher Of the
Center Republican. Some doubt was
expressed by several spectators, sc
Mr.. Thurstons affidavit has been sent
| for.
one and three quarters pounds. The
Murphies are of the Burbank variety
and in the words Of a youngster who
viewed them, they're some tubers.
Morton County Booth.
,. The display made by Morton coun
ty contains more special exhibits than
that of any other county, along the
lines of agriculture. Brand new crops
never before seen in this section OF
the timeber, are given place Of prom
inence. All of the stable crops are
there in quantity and quality, too, and
tho entire booth is arranged along
lines that are exceptionally pleasing
Forming border for the big floor
is rope made out of Sudan Grass, a
new forage crop imported from South
Africa. Over in Morton county at the
experimental station they had the hon
or OF introducing the crop to this
country The grass displayed is a
sample of the first crop grown in the
United States. 1t is the. most drouth.
resistant forage crop known, and has
already proved that it is adapted to
North Dakota.
Other New Ones.
Billion Dollar Grass, another new
forage crop, is one of the specialties,
while several Chinese Celery Cab.
bage plants always attract attention.
This new vegetable, never before
grown in the United States, is a tubu'
lar looking affair that is used for sal
ads. Perhaps one of the most inter
esting things in the booth, is a bunch
of Havana tobacco, grown in expert
ment. The weed would do credit to
the soil of Cuba. Right next TO this
bunch of tobacco, is an India Cream
cotton plant, with the fuzzy stuff fair
ly oozing out Of the bolls.
Winter radishes that look like the
regulation Nihilist bombs; satisfy, a
Sandwich Island vegetable that is
similar to the oyster plant; a huge
bunch of kale; and A Rec Indian
wanted squash are some of the other
specialties. A sample of the second
cutting of alfalfa which was planted
in April of this year. is another inter-
asting exhibit.
Serve Tea Today.
Those in charge of the women's de-
Garment will serve tea this after
noon to the visiting women from the
west side Of the river, who will be
here for West-Missouri-River Day.
The tea will be served from 1:30
o'clock until $3.50.

At 2:25 a. M today, flames were
discovered in the basement of the
Grand Pacific hotel, directly beneath
the stairway, and in five minutes the
entire building was filled with
dense clouds of smoke that fairly
shot up the stairways to the upper
floors.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Where the flames were first seen,
they were struck by a strong draft
that swept them backward and up
ward. Before the fire department
could get to. the building, the Office
was so filled with smoke that it was
impossible to reach the telephone ex-
change to send alarms to the various
rooms. Efforts to reach the stairway
were fruitless, for the flames soon
shot up the stairway from the base
ment and the Office floor was burning
hot.
Most of the guests in the hotel were
awakened by the smoke. One or two
came down the front stairway
through the office, while others fought
their way through the halls to the fire
escapes. On the Broadway side OF
the building the smoke was so thick
that it was impossible for the guests
to get from their rooms to the fire
escapes. Ladders were raised to the
roof of the porch over the main en-
trance, and many escaped that way.
Other ladders were lifted from the
sidewalk on Broadway so that people
could get out of the second story
windows. Guests on the other side
of the building crawled out through
the Bismarck hotel. Trunks, clothes,
and suitcases were thrown from win
dows to the streets, while several
men held their heads outside. the

his share OF the winning end OF
the worlds series receipts he
wound UP the most profitable year,
from a strictly financial stand
point in the history Of baseball.
Evers' earnings for the season Of

which figure exceeds by many
thousands the individual earn
ing capacity Of any baseball play
er in the history of the game.
When Johnny Evers was depos-

Cubs by Charles w. Murphy, the
Federal league was at the zenith
of its star-hunting crusade and
many fabulous offers were wired
back and forth, each offer out
stripping it's nearest competitor by
amounts ranging from $100 to
$4,000.
1t is estimated that Owner Gaff-
