BOY THROWN BY RUN
away TEAM IS UNHURT

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Weiss and ten
year-old son, of Lanona, were Valley
City visitors Monday afternoon and
figured in the most exciting runaway
seen here for long time. Mr.. and
Mrs. Weiss went into the City Drug
Store about 8 o'clock, leaving the boy
in the buggy. The team became
frightened at the exhaust of gasoline
threshing engine east of the Flora
building and ran away. The boy
manfully hung onto the reins and
guided them safely across the east
bridge. There they left the roadway
and collided with a telephone pole.
The boy was thrown about 20 feet,
but landed in the weeds and water in
the roadside ditch. When the autos
which followed to learn what injuries
had resulted to the boy arrived on the
scene, he was found to be absolutely
unhurt. The harness had been strip
ped from one horse and the horses
were somewhat bruised by contact
with the pole, but otherwise no dam
age was done.

KING BROTHERS ARE
FINISHING Big BARN

Henry and Ed King, who live about
six miles south of Valley City and a
mile east of the river, are just finish
ing one of the big barns of Barnes
county. The structure Is 60x100,
with NOW that will hold ITO tons
of hay. The barn will shelter about
100 head of stock and is we'll built and
uptodate in every particular.
The boys were assisted in the
building of the barn by their father,
P. O. King. who for the past six years
has been making his home at Eugene,
Ore, his health being better out there
than in Barnes county. Mr.. King has
been here about three months and will
put in few weeks yet visiting friends
in Minnie Lake and Valley City.
The King brothers are making prep
arations to 90 into stock raising on
quite an extensive SCALE, hence the
building of the big barn. They are
known as successful breeders already
and will no doubt maintain that rec
ord in the future.

J, J. Lee believes that he did the
first plowing for the crop of 1916 in
Barnes county. Mr.. Lee is confronted

four miles southwest of the city from
various noxious weeds. He planted
a large acreage of barley April IL.
which he began cutting Aug. 6. On
this field he began plowing Monday.

JAP MUNITIONS

Toxic, Aug. 23.-What has been de-
clared to be Russia's greatest prob
lem of the war-that of supplying suf-
ficient ammunition and other sup
plies for her army of millions-is to be
solved at least in part by Japan, ac-
cording to the newspapers of Kohumin
Shimbun, which says:
Premier Okuma, states that Japan
has decided to give greater assistance
to the Russians to prosecute the war.
He will not discuss details but has
allowed it to be understood that this
assistance will take the form Of the
forwarding of greater supplies of mu-
nitions.
Count Okuma emphasizes the i'm
practicability and the impossibility of
dispatching troops to Europe but
points that the great advance in the
capacity of the Japanese to manu-
facture munitions will prove of great
help to the allies.
"The premier said Japan plans to
send delegates to the peace conference
although she is not expected to ex-
tend her sphere of influence to Eu-
rope. Japan wants Europe to recog-
nize her supremacy in the Orient,
he said"
The associated Press learned that
Japan has decided to employ all gov.
ernmental and private resources avail
able for increasing the output of am
munitions for the allies, particularly
Russia. The Japanese government be-
lieves the time has arrived for more
concerted action against the enemies
of Japan and her allies.

sian capital says:

ture of our main line of communica-
tion. The surviving garrison was re.
inforced by troops who are staunchly
holding the line from the right to ia
now and on both banks of the ME-
men south of Janow and Altsouns.
Behind the screen of General Schme-
tow's cavalry, a huge German concen-
tration is believed to be in progress
and making preparations for a drive
from Dvinsk to Wilma. There is no
anxiety here at present that the enemy
will be able to endanger the retreat of
the armies operating between Grodno
and Brest-Litovsk. The rear guards of
these armies are holding back the ene-
my along the line of Ossowetz Dielsk
Bialystok- k-Brest-Litovsk railway and
still have four double track trunk lines
clear for the movement of our troops
north and east.
"The German expectations that
Grodno would be our Sedan may be
treated with equanimity. It is true
these is the onslaught of Bres-Litovsk
still to be reckoned with, but it's even-
tual loss probably already has been
discounted.
"The Russian armies continue their
steady and we'll ordered retreat to
their appointed line, inficting enorm-
GUS losses on the enemy.
'The munitions bill went through it's
final reading in the duma yesterday.
The house voted a rider calling upon
the Holy Synod to suspend the peace
days which are seriously curtailing the
output of munitions and insisting upon
government departments working full
time"

GERMANS LOST HEAVILY
IN GULF OF RIGA FIGHT

London, Aug. %. - The German
naval reverses in the gulf Of Riga and
the Baltic sea, the German successes
in occupying the fortress of Ossowetz,
and British bombardment of the
German naval base at Zeebrugge, to-
day furnishes series of news fea-
lures, which temporarily diverted
attention from the gravity of the is
sues growing out Of the sinking Of
the White Star liner Arabic by Ger
man submarine.
The German version of the Riga
battle has not been given out but the
definiteness of the official Russian
report of the sinking Of the German
battle cruiser Won Moltke and the
Gripping of two other cruisers and
eight torpedo boats, has sent a wave
of enthusiasm throughout the country
and dispelled the depression over the
Russian retreat on land. Aside from
the loss of the German ships the naval
engagement is regarded important
chiefly for the strategic effect upon
the land operations in the German
sweep eastward toward Petrograd
which military observers now con-
slider as having been checked and pos
sibly irreparably defeated.
The German center has pressed for
ward steadily until Prince Leopold of
Bavaria is near the Russian new line
of defense, but the military observers
say the entire campaign hinges on the
vast development movement of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's forces in
the north. They would have succeeded
in pushing far beyond Riga but for
the Russians hold on the gulf of Riga
and on the great naval base of

GERMANY NEARING
END0F RESOURCES

Amsterdam, Aug. %. At a secret
session of cabinet ministers, political
leaders and influential writer's called
by the German imperial chancellor be-
fore the reassembling of the reichstag
last Thursday to discuss the situation
an Amsterdam telegram says, Karl
Helfferich, secretary of the treasury,
explained that the new German war
loan would completely exhaust the en-
pire's financial resources and that an
increase in excheQuer bonds would
cause bankruptcy. Therefore, DR.. HALF
ferich urged, it is needful to prepare
for honorable peace.
Chancellor Won Rothmann Hollwig,
according to the same report, declared
that the difficulties of the empire were
increasing and advised his hearers to
use their influence to soften down the
bellicose inclinations and expansion
policy in the reichstag and carefully to
prepare peace proposals which would
be acceptable to the four members of
the entente.
DR.. Bernhard Dernburg's report Of
the failure of his mission in the United
States and other neutral countries, the
telegram says, made strong impress
sion on the conference.
Lieutenant General Count Won Mott
ke, former chief of the general staff,
declared he fully agreed with the chan
cellor and AIDED that only those not
fully informed could hope for COM
plete Russian defeat. -.
Despite these declarations, the story
concludes that the meeting refused to
adopt resolutions advising moderation
in the reichstag, whereupon the chan
cellor declared that if the majority in
the reichstag should show an irrecon-
cilable attitude he would be obliged to
resign, as he could not accept the re-
sponsibility for Germany's disaster.

as the result of a sunstroke which he

the work but kept at his task until he
fell in the field. Efforts to revive him
proved futile.

QuadrupIe Entente Optimistic

London, Aug. "a. - Optimistic re-
ports concerning overations on the
Gallipoli peninsula have been in cir
culation for the past few days and
prophecies are being duly made that
few weeks will see the close of
the allies most difficult task in the
near East. The Turks, too, expect
the Anglo-French forces to be sue
cessful if news reaching Sofia from
Constantinople is reliable.
In fact, it is felt here now that
so far as the Dardanelles is con-
cerned, it is a matter of Indifference
to the allies whether the Balkan
states lend hand. Their assistance
is wanted, however, against Austria
and also to shorten Turkish resis-
tance if the straits are opened.
For these reasons, negotiations
with the near Eastern capital are be-
ing watched with interest and the de-
cision if Serbia and the proposal of
the quadruple entente for satisfying
the aspirations of Bulgaria which
will be reached at council of min
listers tomorrow, is anxiously awaited.
1t is believed in London that Serbia's.
reply will prove satisfactory and that
Bulgaria's operations will be assured.
In the meantime, Austro-G German
armies are aiming more heavy blows
at the Russians in hope of putting
her on the defensive indefinitely and
permitting the removal of some of her
own troops to other fronts, particu-
larly Serbia and Italy in the hope of
repeating their eastern successes.
The Russians are ENCOURAGED.
however, by their naval victory in the
Gulf of Riga, which has delayed Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg's great out
fanking movement throughout Cour-
land, and are offering very still re-
sistance at almost every point in the
Baltic Provinces -s .
While the Russians are falling back
east and south of Kovno, it is ex-
planned by Petrograd that this was
necessary to prevent them from being
outfanked.
On all sides of Brest-Litovsk, the
Austro-Germans claim to be making
progress, while well to the southeast
of the fortress, the Austrians report
their cavalry has entered Kove1. an
important railway junction on the
line to Kiev' and Rovno.
There has been heavy fighting IN
the Vosges without any change in the
position of the opposing armies.
The British steamer, Silvia, has been
sunk. Her crew was saved.

Save the Trees

A tragedy of the Northwest has
been the death by fire of millions OF
stately trees, all because some tend
erfoot camper left the Goals OF his
fire smouldering.
Forest fires are unnecessary, are
nearly always the result of careless
ness, and may wipe out in an hour
what nature has taken years to ere
ate. In fact,
They destroy existing forests.
They destroy young growth,
which means future forests.
They destroy the beauty of the
region.
They destroy a great market for
labor.
They destroy prosperity.
They destroy homes.
They destroy lives.
Forest fires can be prevented by:
Never leaving a camp fire until it
is out.
Never making camp fire In
leaves, rotten wood or against log.
Never tossing away burning
matches or tobacco.
Never burning brush, grass, or
slashings during a dry season.
