viii Sue Minnesota
for Damage to Crops

I Paramount, N. D., Dec. 4.-The state
Of Minnesota will be sued by farmers
Of North Dakota for damages aggregat
ing about half million dollars, for
damage to crops done by the overflow
ing of the Bots de Sioux river.
That Minnesota drainage engineers
have permitted the construction Of ex
tensive drains, throwing immense
quantities of water into this river
causing it to overflow it's banks, is the
theory on which the action will be
started.
Plans for the suit were laid at a
mass meeting of the farmers Of the
three states, held here yesterday
About ESQ land owners were present
The farmers estimate the damage
to their crops this year at about $40
an acre, while the total acreage hit by
the flood waters is placed at between
$4,000 and $4,000 acres. ''>'
To finance their action, the farmers
are assessing themselves to raise a
$4,000 fund. They anticipate that the
suit will be launched in the names of
the states of North Dakota and South
Dakota, while the situation with. re-
spect to the Minnesota land owners is
not entirely clear. IL
The Bots de Sioux river emptiesinte
the Red River, but the channel Isl not
great enough to handle the vast guam
tity of water that is now turned into it
each spring, because the drains send
the water down much more rapidly
than under normal conditions.
The question has been hanging fire
here for some time. $.s5t

A Saloniki dispatch, reporting the

A Saloniki dispatch, reporting the
withdrawal of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's forces from the Serbian
front in Bulgaria, it interpreted in
some quarters as confirmation of the
second alternative.
With Prisrend in Bulgarian hands
and not AustroGermans, the Bulgar-
ians have formally announced the COM
pletion of their Serbian campaign.
Vienna has officially estimated the cap
ture of more than $4,000 Serbians by
General Won Koevess' army during the
month of November alone. Moreover,
is seems certain that the Serbians in
their retreat over the Albanian noun
tain passes, encountered by civilian
refugees, and made more difficult by
wintry weather, were forced to leave
behind them large part of their
equipment, including much of their
heavy artillery, motor cars and other
transports. ~
The Germans are now engaging the
Montenegrins on the Montenegrin
frontier at a heavy cost and have pene-
trated some distance beyond the bor-

able to the serious and sanguinary
fighting which marked the Serbian
s~,,
now has almost ceased.
Notwithstanding all the entente ne
gotiations at Athens, the Greek situa-
|tion remains much as it was month
ago. It is now clear that Greece has
determined not to mobilize or with
draw her army from Saloniki. Though
a deadlock seems to have been reach
ed, negotiations are still underway.

history of the. development and growth
Of representative government in Eng.
