DEVILS LAKE GETS
NEXT GERMAN MEET
Catholic Aid Society Perfects an
Organization in That
City.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 5.-The or
ganization of German Roman Cath
olic aid society was perfected by Paul
Goldade of Berwick, N. D., state or
ganizer. While t.le name might lead
to the conclusion this is pro-Ger-
man organization, the first qualifica-
ton for membership is United States
citizenship. The membership starts
off with Is here.
"The real object of the organization
is to bring the German-Russian popu.
lation of the country up to the stand
ard socially, politically and religious
ly," said Mr.. Goldade. I'VE want
our people to acquire full citizenship,
acQuaint themselves with the laws of
the country, exercise their power
with the ballot in an intelligent, inde-
pendent manner, free from the dicta-
tion of bosses. That is the object
of the work we are doig."
It will be of special interest to
know that tne German Roman Catho-
lie Aid society of the state has desig-
mated Devils Lake as the place to
mete, during the last half Of June,
1916. Last year at an inland town
there were over 5000 in attendance,
while at the previous meeting at
Dickinson there were over 10000

M'Y|LLE LEADS IN
STOCK SHIPMENTS
Mcre Live Stock Shipped From
There Than From Any Other
in District.

This piece of news may be a sur.
prise to many OF our readers, never
theless, the records just given out by
the South St. Paul Live Stock eX-
change show that Neville leads all
stock shipments SO far t:lis year on
this line and all but five towns on
the Great Northern from Devils Lake
to Grand Forks, from Larimore tc
Moorhead, and from Casselton to
Ereckinridge. The figures will show
that Neville shipped 81 cars of hogs
and cattle during 1918. 1914 and the
first half of 1915. The only other
town to lead Neville in the three
years is Devils Lake, which shipped
146 cars, and Devils Lake is trans
fer and feeding point. 3es
The Neville shipments do not in
clude Is cars Of horses shipped from
this station since January 1, most OF
which have been sent to Chicago by
Il. w. McDougall. This added, makes
a total of 10 cars for 1915. P. T.
Mark and Erick Ophaug shipped three
or four cars west. A. Mcmillan had

ment or two. It shows a remarkably
large shipment of stock from tilis
point and it is generally asked where
all the stock comes from? Evidence
is that the county is gradually stock
ing up, year by year. and the farmers
are realizing a fine profit from this
industry. 1t all goes to help out in
the success of farming.
Station Agent Zeeveld gladly gave
us the checking on the above figures
so we are able to quote them witaoN
being in question. The writer check
ed each shiument also.
It is noticeable thing this year
that the cream shipments from Nc
Vile are also double those Of last
year and seem to be increasing. An
average Of eight or ten cans leave
here daily. 1t appars to us that MIC

cream business to warrant a cream.

FARMER ENDS LIFE
BY SHOOTING
Bottineau County Resident Com
mits Suicide; Insanity Is
Cause.

Bottineau, N. D., Aug. 5.-John Bol-
linger, Russian, living on farm,
IL miles southwest of this city, COM
mitted suicide Saturday by shooting
himself in the head with a revolver
while alone in the upper room Of his
home.
1t is believed that he did the rash
act during temporary fit Of insanity.
Both Bollinger and his wife have a
number of relatives in the Russian
army and Bollinger has been sitting
up till 3 and 4 o'clock in the morn
ing for some time, reading war news.
1t is believed that this strain, togeth-
er with the worry over relatives from
whom, it seems, he has not heard for
a long time and who are in the army,
unbalanced his mind.
He was a man of industry and en-
orgy, owning section of land and be
ing we'll fixed financially.
Saturday he came in from the field
where he had been at work and went
upstairs to his ROOM His wife called
him soon afterwards to come to din
ner. He replied that he would be
down shortly. A moment later shot
rang out and when members of the
family rushed to his room, they found
him lying in a pool Of blood and dy-
ing.
He leaves a wife and eight chill
dren.

Of the military and naval affairs COM
mittee of the senate and house, as
we'll as with Secretary Garrison and
Secretary Daniels of the war and navy
departments, before finally deciding

Struck BY an
Auto and Is
Bahyhjiured

William Robidou, who lives on a
farm south of town, father of Mrs
Charles Fisher of this city, was stand
ing on a street corner yesterday when
an auto came suddenly around the cor
ner and struck him. He sustained Sc
we're injuries upon the head, II being
feared at first that his skull was frac-
tured, which may yet prove to be the
case, although he has regained con-
sciousness. His left leg was also
broken. AS he is an elderly gentle
man 76 years old, his condition is
quite serious. The shock, On that ac-
count, was very acute and the pain
intense However, the last reports OBJ
tainable last evening were to the ef-
feet that he was resting easily and
would probably have a fairly good
night. Following the accident, he was
taken to st. AleXius hospital.

ERIE DISASTER
DEATH LIST
May TOTAL Is
Work of Searching for Bodies Is
Going on Very
Slowly.
PROPERTY LOSS is NOW
ESTIMATED AT $1,000, 900

Erie. Pa, Aug. 5.-The death list
resulting from the food of Tuesday
night was brought up to 26 late to-
night, with the recovery of two more
bodies.
Because of the. great mass Of debris
which stretched for two miles along
the Mill Creek valley, the search for
bodies is progressing slowly and city
officials believe that it will be at
least week before the work has
been completed. Fifteen persons are
known to be missing and Coroner
Hanley said he thought the death list
might reach IS.
Figures compiled late today show
that the total damage in the city and
county would amount to between
$6,O0O,000 and $7,0OO,O00 Two mil
lions, it was declared, would not re-
place the crop destroyed in Erie
county.
Two representatives of the state
department of health arrived today to
assist the local health authorities in
handling the sanitary situation.
Scores of persons have been vacci.
mated for typhoid and warnings on

Find Indian
Bones While
Excauatine

known that Indians had camped at the
east. end Of the city, no established
village has ever been recorded for

lies of the early days. :-a
Two Indian skulls were found about
four feet below the surface. The skel.
eton of buffalo, skull with horns

Washington, Aug. 5.-State depart.

they are powerless to obtain relief
from the rigid censorship to which the
American mail and cable messages
passing through belligerent countries

American citizens and business

NO MENTION MADE OF
ARMED INTERVENTION
First Day Of Pan.American Conf
ference Devoted to Dis,
cussion.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Armed fac.
tions in Mexico are to be given one
more opportunity to say whether they
are ready to make an honest effort
among themselves to compose their
differences.
A message expressing the concerted
demands oi North and South America
that there shall be peace and restora-
ton of constitutional government. ad.
dressed to all the Mexican political
and military leaders, probably will be
dispatched within few days as one
of the first results of the conference
at the state department today IN
which the six ranking diplomats OF
the Pan-American legation corps par.
ticipated with Secretary Lansing at
the invitation of President Wilson.
Appeal to All Leaders.
While the appeal will be made to
all the Mexican leaders, it will be In.
tended especially for Gen. Carranza
and his followers, who are opposed to
another peace convention.
Il was disclosed that President viii.
son has been in correspondence with
the executives of the Latin American
nations who have urged that the
United States take the lead in a
strong position toward Mexico and in
this informal way have pledged their
support to a Pan-American concerted
action.
Hear Of Conditions.
Today's conference was given over
almost entirely to hearing report
of conditions by Paul Fuller, Sr., Of
New York. who spent .aeueral months
in Mexico as President Wilson'S per-
sonal representative. It was under.

further action tomorrow, when the
conference will be resumed which
will constitute the first of a success.
sion of moves to end three years OF
revolution and chaos.
No Action Agreed.
No action was agreed upon today
and it was understood that armed IN
tervention was not mentioned. Plain.
ly, it was the intention of the confer
ence to exhaust peaceful means to
bring the Mexican factions together,
following closely what has been the
administration policy from the first
to make it clear to the world that
there is no object other than the pre-.
servation of the sovereignty of Mexi.
co and to save the distracted country
from itself.
No Statement Made.
At the conclusion the Latin Ameri-
can diplomats uniformly stated they
had accepted the invitation with the
stipulation that discussion should be
confidential until program had been
perfected. Secretary Lansing, speak
ing for all present, said:
81 have absolutely nothing to say
about today's proceedings. The in
formal conference will be resumed to-
morrow afternoon. For the diplomats
who were present, will say, that they
came into the conference with the
distinct understanding that it was TO
be held absolutely confidential and
secret"
Before a program is adopted, those
who attended today's conference will
submit it to their governments and
before it is put into effect, all the Pan
American nations will be asked for
their approval None of the Mexican
factions was represented in today's

REAL CONOUERORS.
Russians Fight Desperately,

nuSS'dnS FISnt desperately.
The Russians are fighting desper-
ately and stubbornly to check the
progress Of these four armies and
have had several successes, inbicting
heavy losses on the pursuers, but they
are being steadily pressed back,
which made the longer occupation Of
the Warsaw Polish salient hazar-
dous undertaking.
In PerIous Position.
Even now, although the stcadiness
Of the Russians troops and their fierce
counter attack had gained much valu-
able time for them, it is problematical
whether the whole Russian army will
succeed in reaching the new positions
chosen for it, or whether if it should
get there, it will not find those posi-
tions turned by the Austrians' who
have crossed the Bug southeast Of
Cholm and the Germans under Won
Galwitz, who have crossed the Narew
Communications Threatened.
At the northeastern line, the Rus.
sian communications are further
threatened by General Won Buelow,
who is advancing toward Dvinsk on
the Vilna-Petrograd railway. Indeed,
the Austro-Germans have set three
traps to catch and destroy the Rus
sian armies. None of them were
struck, but one was so near to closing
that Grand Duke Nicholas was forced
to evacuate Warsaw and now is fight
ing with all his might to prevent the
others from cutting off his retreat.
Protecting Guns.
Thus far, he seemingly has been
successful, for, although the Germans
claim the capture Of a large number
of prisoners, the aggregate is small
when compared with the immense
forces engaged. In addition, the RUS
slams guns, apparently, are well on
their way to the rear. v
From refugees, who left Warsaw
some days ago and had arrived at
Moscow, it has been learned that
Warsaw even at that early date had
been denuded Of virtually everything
that might be useful to the Teutons.
Factories had been stripped of their
machinery and all wares and stores
moved into the interior of Russia. The
government of the city has been left
to the Polish population. III
