BURKE IS NOT
A CANDIDATE
FOR SENATE
Likes Present Position at Wash
ington Too Well to Attempt
Change.
UPHOLDS PRES. WILSON
IN DIPLOMATIC MOVES
Stops OFF at Bismarck for Visit
While on Way to Wash
ington.

Honorable John Burke, United
States treasurer and former governor
of North Dakota, arrived in Bismarck
last evening, on his way to Washing
ton. Mr.. Burke is returning from at
tending the Panama-Pacific exposi
ton, and also from a visit to several
of the United States sub-treasuries.
He stopped off here enroute east to
visit number of old friends.
Not After Toga.
When interviewed at the Grand Pa.
cific last night, Burke exploded the ru-
NOR that he was to be candidate for
the United States senate at the next
election "I've got pretty good job
right now,and never considered being
a senatorial candidate" he said. "My
present position as United States
treasurer is one of the most respon-
sible position in the world. 1t will
only be matter of a short time when
the United States will be the finan-
cial center of the world. If we con-
tinCe to keep out of the European
struggle, it will bring about that
change much sooner
Stands by President.
In regard to the present diplomatic
situation in Washington, Burke stated
tha. he was Heart and soul with the
president in his attitude toward Ger
many, and that in his trip from coast
to coast he did not find one man who
was opposed to the presidents atti-
tude. He lauded Robert Lansing, sec
retary of state, saying that the presi-
dent was fortunate to get a man OF
Lansing's experience and ability.
While a close personal friend Of
William Jennings Bryan, Mr.. Burke
said that he was not in sympathy with
Mr. Bryan in his peace propaganda.
Mr.. Burke stands up strongly for the
rights of Americans and other neu-
trails on the high seas, and says that
President Wilson is taking firm
stand in the matter and will continue
10 Go 50. The president is doing all
in his power to avert further trouble
with Germany, and in the event that
his efforts fail and this colintry is
drawn, into the conflict, it will not be
be through any fault of his, or any
lack OF diplomacy.
Estate Looks Good"
North Dakota never looked better
TO me than it did today, as | came
through from the west. 1t looks es.
pccially good after travelling through
the semi-arrid regions of the west.
Coincident with Mr.. Burke's arrival
IN the city, an oil painting Of the ex.
governor arrived at the state capitol
today and was hung in Governor
Hanna's office. The picture was paint.
ed by Charles Il. Gray, a well known
artist in Washington, d. c., and was
presented to Tie state by Mr. Burke.
Mr.. Burke will leave on No. 4 to-
day for Fargo, where he will remain
for day or two before starting back

WANT TO HOMESTEAD
UNDER ACT OF MARCH

The II isolated tract sales set for
the 18th at the Dickinson United
States land office did not materialize
to any great extent There were but
four parties WHO appeared, namely:
limerick Martin, for two tracts south
of Richardton, at s. and better per
acre; Charles Ashurst of Halliday,
and Ferdinand Messer.
Under the act Of March 4, 1915,
people who have proved up on land
and are still owners and occupants
of same, are permitted to homestead
adjoining tracts. Hence, it is reason
able to presume that some Of the iso-
lated tracts will eventually be taken
as additional homestead$.

Immediate aid to families of the
Eastland victims was given yesterday
by Chicago representatives of many
insurance companies. The prompt

Customary red tape was omitted
and relatives of victims who carried
industrial insurance were paid the

upon presentation.
At the Offices of three of tao larg

Russians in Counter Attack.

Russians in Counter Attack.
Along the western bank of the Wis.
tula from Ivandorod to Novogeor-
gievsk, even less progress apparently
has been made, while along the Mar.
cw, where Field Marshall Won linden
berg has been directing operations in
an effort to strike wedge in behind
the city, he is now occupied in meet
ing the Russian counter attack.
The Russians who were defeated In
the Baltic provinces recently, have
also turned back and, according to
the Berlin report, have delivered an
attack from Mittau which, however,
was repulsed.
Continue Advance.
Further to the south the Germans
continue their advance to Viculna,
Petrograd railway, but there Is lot
of territory to cover before 1t is reach.
ed and it is considered more likely
that General Won Buelow, who is in
command here, will turn to the south
west to threaten the Russian army
which is facing Won Hindenbers.
Battles at Heights.
Everywhere the battles are at their
heights, especially that in which Won
Mackensen is engaged. All the mill
tary critics here believe that this ic
the most critical engagement of the
campaign for the whole German plan
and depend on his reaching the Lub-
lin railway.
With interest largely centered on
the east the important offensives Of
the French in Alsace has been almost
disregarded.
They report tonight another sue
cess to the north Of Munser, which
apparently is their objective, and tho
repulse OF series of German counter
attacks.
Tearinn Up Offensive.
The French have concentrated a lot
of artillery in this region and are
simply tearing up the German often
sive.
The artillery likewise is playing an
important part in the battle of tho
lsonzO, where the Italians are report
ed to have concentrated for three
days their fire on the Austrian posi-
tions. This fire is said to have ex-
ceeded in violence that which the
Austro-Germans employed against the
Russians in western Galicia, and
which up to that time was the most
terrific ever experienced in war.
Evacuate GIorizia.
A dispatch from Laibach to the &c.
neva Tribune says:
Last night the Austrians began to
evacuate Gorizia. The evacuation of
Poridia is also question of hours
About dozen bombs were dropped
on this city today by an Austrian Yer.
ial plane. There were no victims OF
the aerial attack and the damage to
property was insignificant.
Verona is a fortified city and next
to Venice is the most important town
in the Italian department of Venetia.
1t is distinguished by wonderful med
ieval palaces and has population OF
$4,000.
Sink Nine Trawlers.
Apparently determined to demoral-
ize the British ship supply as mucl
as possible, two German submarines
have appeared suddenly among the
fishing fleet off the north coast Of
Scotland and by fire sunk nine trawl-
ers, the Rosalyn, the Celtic. the Ty-
borna, the Agdall the Strathmore,
the Honoria, the Cassie, the Hermi-
one and the Sutton.
In each case, in spite of a vigorous
shell fire from the German underwa-
ter boats, the crews escaped without
injury. All the men were landed
safely today.
