EAST GRAND FORKS
SALOONS ARE CLOSED

East Grand Forks, MIMI, Nov. "a.
song and the hilarious
shouting of drunken men marked the
closing last night of East Grand
Forks saloons, marking the passing
of a liquor industry valued at half
million dollars annually, slain by the
voters of Polk county in the option
election of May "a, last. ....
It was a night long to be remem-
bered. Saloon after saloon was filled
with crowds of men, participating,
as it were, in the burial of the liquor
business in that city.
Thirty-two saloons closed their
doors. Before the evening celebra-
ton commenced, two or three places
had run out of supplies and had
closed up. Other places sold only
bottled goods during the evening.
Only few places had beer on tap.

DOLLAR STANDARD
WOULD SAVE MONEY
48s5lE> -
Bankers Battle to Make American
Dollar Instead of British Pound
STERLING Standard of Trade.

New York, Nov. 24.-How a great
deal of money will be saved to Amer
lean manufacturers if victory crowns
the newly begun battle of American
bankers to make the American dol
lar, instead of the British pound
sterling, the financial standard for
world trade, was explained to the
United Press today by Max May, for
eign exchange expert and vice presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust company.
A Financial Gibraltar. -.
Since time out of mind the pound
sterling has been the worl's exchange
market standard. This was because
Great Britain was considered fnan-
cial Gibraltar. Britain's varying
war fortunes have unsettled the
pound sterling, however, and it has
been webbing up and down in value
almost every day. In other words, a
pounds worth of American goods to-
day may not be worth a pounds
worth of American goods tomorrow.
=. Elf Interchange market were sta
b1e,' said Mr.. May, American ex-
porters would be able to protect them
selves by knowing what prices to
quote on their products.
Loses on Exchange.
GAS it is, if a cotton man in the
south sells million dollars worth
of his product to an English firm,
on 80 days credit, he quotes price
based on the prevailing exchange
rate. If the exchange rate has
slumped by the time he ships his
goods, the cotton man loses money.
The seller takes a big gambling
chance. The buyer does not. If
payment were based on American dol
lars that would not occur. We are
trying to make all foreign buyers,
governments included, pay in Amer
lean dollars. -
''Plans now being formulated by
American bankers to stabilize for
eign exchange may accomplish this
result" said he. "The huge volume
Of exports are working toward that
end also The scheme under consid-
Grafton should make it a fact.
NATURALLY, foreign buyers are not
anxious to do this. Sterling has
been the financial criterion in world
trade for so many years it is hard
task to get them to consider it.
Buyers Assume Risks.
Payments in dollars for exported
goods from this country would stab
ilize the exchange market and that,
I think, every banker will agree, is
the most important question to be
settled in international banking af-
fairs today f.,
STERLING would better be around
$4.65, or some nominal figure like
that, at all times, than to be con-
stantly fuctuating as it has been do
ing these last few months.
Tin BRIEF" concluded the exchange
expert, American exporters want the
foreign buyers to assume the risk
that American exporters now have to
assume" ..--,o- ..-. s

TOLERABLE PEACE
URGED BY AUSTRIAN
KAISER WARNED THAT RUSSIAN
ADVANCE ON BUDAPEST MEANS
COLLAPSE OF HUNGARY.
Austro-Hunsarian Foreign Minister
Advises Emperor Not to Reject
Thought Of Peace on Grounds Of
Probable Disarmament.

London.-The Copenhagen cores
pendent of the Daily Mail asserts that
Baron Burian, the o-Hungarian
ing with the German emperor drew a
doleful picture of the plight OF the
dual monarchy and urged tha& he
time had arrived for the Gefmanic
powers to consider most seriously the
possibilities for tolerable peace.
The dispatch says: From trust
worthy and well-informed source in
Berlin received the following state
ment regarding the negotiations be-
tween the German statesmen and Bar
on Burian, who recently visited the
German chancellor in Berlin and EN-
peror William at the army headquar.
tiers in France.
Baron Burian, whose sole object 1t
is to save what can be saved of the
dual monarchy, represented to the
Germans that the situation in Austria
was most precarious and that II the
Russian advance on Budapest is not
stopped the effect may very probably
NC tic uO"hiat VI Huotia anu thc
complete collapse of Hungary which
must later entail, as a logical Sc
quence also the downfall of Germany.
Therefore Baron Burian urged that
the Russians must, at all costs, be
repulsed and that Germany must send
large reinforcements to Hungary to
prevent a catastrophe. In any case,
he said, II was doubtful II 1t would be
possible for them TO resist the Rus
SLAMS and Serbians and perhaps also
the Roumanians. Therefore It was
necessary seriously to examine into
the question of peace.
A definite defeat would mean a de.
bacle for Austria-Hungary and the par.
tition of the empire. His advice to
Germany was to consider most seri
ously the possibilities of a tolerable
peace. He advised Germany not 70 re
ject fundamentally the thought OF
peace ON the grounds of probable
disarmament OF Europe. II Germany
was disposed to treat on such terms
he believed the other conditions would
be tolerable. Perhaps II would be
necessary to leave the French part Of
Alsace to France and give up some
Polish provinces to new Poland, but
If Russia would relinquish province
and Austria a part of Galicia TO Pc
land no real sacrifice for Germany
would be entailed.
Austria would then leave the res
of Galicia In Russia and BukOWina IL
