Novel Publicity Campaign in Favor Of
Its Adoption.
A novel publicity campaign is in
progress for amendment No. 8, the
state forest amendment, which will
be submitted to popular vote Nov. 3.
It provides that all general state
lands, which soil survey shows to
be unfit for farming, shall be used
as state forests and managed accord
ingly.
In the publicity campaign for this
measure five reels of moving pictures
have been engaged, which will -ha
shown in $50 theaters throughout the
state. Over 100000 posters will be
distributed and 100000 booklets ex-
planning the matter will be sent to
bankers, commercial clubs, unions,
manufacturers and others, in order
that they may put them in circulation.
Exhibits will be shown in sixty-nine
counties in the state and large ex-

Simultaneously it became known
for the first time that the operations

The announcement stated that since
the operations against Russia the

Austrian first line army totals the
enormous number of 100000 men. In
addition, by reason of attack by over

MAUBEuCE FORTRESS
TAKEN BY GERMANS

London, Sept 10.-Oficial announce
ment was made at the war office in
Berlin that the French fortress at
Maubeuge, on the Sambre river, about
six miles from the Belgian frontier,
has fallen and that the Germans took
10000 prisoners, including four gen.
erals, and captured 400 guns.
Dispatches would indicate the Ger
mans have been besieging Maubeuge
for week or more. The British are
said to have assisted the French gar
rison in the defense. On Sept 6 the
German war Office announced two of
the Maubeuge forts had fallen and
that artillery fire was being directed
against the town.
Maubeuge, however, was not in the
line of what Is believed to be the
greatest battle of the war, and de-
spite it's fall the French reports as.
sert the allies are making progress

to Nancy, where 100000 men are
said to be engaged.

one week PRODUCES
REMARKABLE CHANGE
Military Critics Say Battle Of
marne Has Decided First |
Phase Of the War.

London, Sept. 14.-The sixth week
of war between Germany and France,
Belgium and Great Britain has
brought a vast transformation. The
pursued are now the pursuers. The
irresistible sweep Of seven German
armies through Belgium into France
met an immovable force at the Marine
river.
The army of General Won Kluck,
which battled so long to turn the al
lies western flank, itself was out
fanked slowly and steadily. It's re-
tirement before the small, but hardy
British army turned the tide of battle.
II the French official reports are
correct all the German armies except
that facing Verdun and few miles
southwest are retreating.
General Won Kluck's army, which a
week ago was a few miles to the
southeast Of Paris, has retired more
than sixty miles to the northeast,
while on the extreme right the army
Of the Bavarian crown prince, which
attacked the French eastern line, from
Nancy to Epinal, has fallen back to
the frontiers of Lorraine, permitting
the French to reoccupy Luneville and
several other towns.
Pictures Retreat as Hurried.
General Joffre, the French com.
mander-in-chief, pictures the retreat
as hurried, If not disorderly, with the
Germans abandoning prisoners
wounded and supplies.
Sunday, Sept. 6, was the darkest
day of the war for the allies The
French government emigrated from
Paris to Bordeaux in long, sad, pro.
cession of motor cars. An attack up.
on the capital appeared imminent and
the main German force had hammered
a huge wedge into France between
Paris and Verdun, with it's center
some miles south of that line.
The French people trembled with
the question whether their army was
not beaten army; whether the his
tory Of 1870 would repeat itself.
The battle of the Marne, which was
decided in week, is regarded by
military critics as the most marvel
GUS reversal of roles of two armies
known. In their view it appears tt

war and to have made impossible the

ABOUT The STATE
News Of Especial Interest TO
Minnesota Readers.
IRON ORE UNDER LAKE BEDS
State Wins First Round In Supreme
Court in Legal Battle Over
Ownership.

The supreme court has decided
case which has an important bearing
on the states claim to iron ore under
lake beds, with value estimated at
800, 100000.
Reversing a decision by Judge w.
A. Cant of st. Louis county the su-
preme court holds that the state is
entitled to an Injunction restraining
lessons of the mines on a shore of
Longyear lake from encroaching on
that lake by mining operations beyond
the low water mark.
The defendants were allowed, under
a stipulation, to 60 ahead and mine
under the lake while the case was
pending, agreeing to pay 60 cents
ton for all ores the court should find
they did not own. So far 100000 tons
have been taken out and 100000 is in
volved in the title to this ore. An
other suit seems necessary to decide
this question of title, as the court
doesn't 60 into it, and on this suit
would hinge the states title to ore
deposits estimated at fully 100000
900 tons.
In the decision, written by Judge
Hallam, the court says: Under the
laws of this state the state owns the
soil under public waters in a sover-
eign, not proprietary capacity, but
still the state owns it and the shore
owner does not. Whether the ripa-
rian owners have any beneficial inter-
ests in the minerals underlying the
bed of the lake where they can be
removed without destroying the lake
bed we are not called upon to deter
mine."
Fight Begun by Iverson.
The controversy has been on since
1903, when State Auditor s. G. Iver-
son put the case up to Attorney Cen
eral W. B. Douglas and was advised
that the state owned the lake beds.
Litigation was started at that time,
but failed to determine the question.
In 1909 the legislature passed an
act asserting the states title and, fol-
lowing this, the Injunction suit was
brought. Again the state has failed
to get final decision as to it's rights,
but Mr.. 1verson declares that Judge
Hallam's decision points the way to
an inevitable victory for the state.
''The court holds that the state owns
the soil under lake BEDS" said Mr..
1verson. "The iron ore is part of the
soil and I have no doubt the states
claim will finally be made good.''
Several large lakes in Northern
Minnesota are known to have iron
under their waters. In addition to
Longyear lake the list includes Arm
strong lake, on the Vermillion range;
Embarrass lake, on the Eastern Me-
saba; Pokegama lake, near Grand
Rapids. and Rabbit lake, in the Guyana
range. The mineral lease law under
which the state gets rs cents a ton
royalty from ore mined from state
lands was repealed in 1907. There is
no mineral lease law now. When q
new one is passed it will provide roy
alties: based on the iron content Of
the ore, it is declared. .< 49,. ...

European War Causes Big Rise In
Price of Grain.


Price of Grain.
Minnesota and the Northwest in
general will benefit to the extent of
more than fifty million dollars as a
direct result of the prevailing high
prices of grain and an indirect result
of the war in Europe. This is the
estimate of business and railway men
of St. Paul who have been. watching
closely the prices and movement of
grain and the trend of trade.
The figure given is based on the
production of wheat in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota dur
ing 1913, although it is known that
the crop of the present year is heavier.
With wheat for December delivery
quoted at 80 cents a bushel higher
than it was q year ago the farmers
of these three states should realize
at least $53,000,00O more than last
year on a crop of 179,000,000 bushels,
which was last years production.
