Hlsens Render
Pleasing Program

Thursday evening at the Synod
Lutheran church the Hilsen Trio ap.
peared in an exceptionally pleasing en-.
tertainment. There was good sized
audience present and all are loud in
their praises Of this excellent trio. The
company was introduced by Mayor
Platou, and then began program of
Norwegian classics rarely excelled in
this city. Miss Caspary, the soprano,
sang two numbers in a manner which
showed her ability as vocalist. but
she was suffering from severe cold
and her throat was not in condition to
finish her part Of the program. Miss
Halaas, the pianist, very beautifully
rendered Asses DEATH" wedding
March" and one other selection by
Grieg, proving her an artist of no
small ability. The browning feature
Of the evening was the reading by
Einar Hilsen of several selections
First was Jacob Bulls poem woven
around the story Of General Ehrnsfelt
and his army of Swedish soldiers who
were retreating over the mountains
after being defeated by the Norweg-
fans. Overtaken at night in the
mountains by severe cold wintry night
they are unable to survive, and in the
morning the general finds that out of
his 5000 men only 800 are left to him.
This impresses him as an omen from
God that Norway and Sweden should
not fight, as they are bound by nature
to be friends. It Is master piece OF
Norwegian literature and was very
dramatically given. He read several
poems Of his own, which showed that
he was not only an artist as reader,
but also an author worthy Of note. He
read a number Of other splendid selec.
lions, and it would be impossible to
tell in a few words Of the impression
he made on his hearers with his Work
The entire program was in Norwegian
and was enjoyed by all present.

Protest on Conhaband
Goes to Warning Nations

Washington, Nov. 20. - Americas
protest against the placing Of nearly
all articles Of commerce on the contra
band lists of European belligerents
will 60 to Germany and Austria, as
well as to Great Britain and her allies
In the last note to England regard
ing interferences with neutral trade
Secretary Lansing gave notice of an
intention to make contraband the sub
ject of later communication, and
preparation of this document now is in
progress.
It became known yesterday that
when it is forwarded to London vir
tually identical notes will be dispatch
ed to the Teuton's allies and to
France and italy.
So far as Germany and Austria are
concerned officials regard the forth
coming protest as more or less AGA
demic in view OF tie fact that their
commerce raiders ana cruisers nc
longer are On The high seas and Their
Seizures of contraband are limited t.
the work of submarines.
In retaliation for the issuance of the
British blockade orders-in-council
however, Germany has promulgated q
list Of contraband that includes prac
tically all American products, conse
quently the state department has de
cided that formal protest is necessary
to record the assertion Of its rights
by the United States.
The dispatch of the note will be de
layed until it has been gone over care
fully by Secretary Lansing and Presi
dent Wilson, and probably by the neu
/, trality board.
Particular objection will be made, II
is understood, to the seizure of Ameri
can goods, even though contraband
if they are destined for consumption
in neutral country and are not bount
for a belligerent port.

ed about one year ago costing about
$4,000 and is credit to the congre-

h[inot Land Office
in Federal Building

Minot, Nov. Recommending short
ly after the closing of the official day
at 4:3O o'clock this evening, the Unit
ed States Land Office officials will be-
gin the task of moving to the new
quarters on the third floor of the post
office building. The officials will be
ready to transact business in their
new home next Monday morning.
The quarters in the most Office
building are commodious and cozy
The land Office will occupy the entire
suite on the third floor. The re-
moval has been put off partly be-
cause of the delay in the arrival OF
the new furniture. Some of this has
not yet arrived but enough is here to
fix the officers up comfortably for
the transaction of business.
A considerable amount of the fur
niture in the old office will be sold
next Wednesday afternoon at 200
o'clock at the old quarters in the
citizens bank building. This includes
good safe, a number of desks and
chairs.
Receiver Corbett and Register Fritz
are much pleased in the near pros
pect of the change to the new quar-
tiers. The old location is crowded
and not very we'll located. The new
quarters are large and convenient.
The only drawback is the two-pair-of-
stairs-climb necessary to reach the
Office. 1t is probable that the govern
ment will put regular elevator man
on the job in the post-office building
in time so as to get rid of this climb
ing process.

Appropriations to
be Centralized

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Centraliza-
ton of appropriations of congress, on
which President Wilson and house
leaders conferred last night will be
the subject Of another conference at
the White House within week, &C
cording to present plans.
The President has made it clear to
advocates Of the different methods of
control Of appropriations that he has
no fixed preference for any of the
plans suggested, but Is anxious that
some agreement should be reached
whereby a more systematic control Of
congressional appropriations might be
attained. So far, it Is admitted by par
Elephants in the conference, an agree
ment is not in sight.
Confidential data along the lines OF
the official estimates to be submitted
to congress, including the estimates
bearing on national defense, will be
submitted for consideration in connec.
ton with the next conference regard
ing a budget. Speaker Clark, Demo
cratic Leader Kitchin and Representa-.
tive Hay of Virginia, chairman Of the
house military committee, absentees at
last nights White House conference,
are expected in Washington about Fri.
day next. The plan is to have the full
committee which was authorized by
the house to investigate and report on
the budget plans, thresh out their off
ferences probably the last Of the week
or the first of next week, and then ar.
range another conference with the
president.
Representative Sherley of Kentucky,
is the advocate Of plan which con-
templates taking away from the va
rious committees which frame appro
priation bills in the house their present
power, and create budget committee,
comprising the chairman and ranking
minority members of each Of these
committees, together with the speaker
and majority leader. to have absolute
control of all appropriations in the
house. Representative Fitzgerald, Of
New York, as head Of the appropria'
ton committee, is unyielding in his
opposition to this plan and advocates
vesting in the one regular appropria
lions committee exclusive and sole
power to frame and report all appro
priation bills.

BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
ON FORGERY CHARGE

Jamestown, Nov. 19.-Noble Rent
fro, the boy who was brought back
from Windsor, ILL.,, a few weeks ago
by Deputy Fitzgerald to answer the
charge Of forgery upon the Eldridge
State bank, had his hearing Thursday
afternoon before Judge Bigelow. He
was waived examination. He will now
appear before district court. He was
placed under $1,000 bonds which he
could not get and will await in Jail
until the hearing.
Rentfro lived all his life in Wind.
sor, ILL.,, with his parents until this
summer. Being unable to procure
work there he "bummed' his way to
the harvest fields of North Dakota,
near Eldridge. He worked a while
and then wanted to return to his
home. He came to this city and
bought 500 worth of clothes paying
for them by a check on the Eldridge
State Bank. He then set out for
home and was arrested there.
His father is a laboring man on the
railroad earning about $45 month
and his mother also works. He says
he has been denied the privilege of
an education and had to work out
when young to help support the fam.
lily. It is an unfortunate case for the
young man and he may be sent to
the reformatory until he is u years
OF age.

be welcomed here as an end to the
torturing uncertainty of the past
month.
Comfort is derived here from OPT
mistic dispatches from Athens, which
since the arrival Of Denys Cochin, the
French cabinet member, who went to
Greece on special mission, reports
that the opinion is running STRONGLY
for the entente allies: but since it is
well known that King Constantine's
choice waits on the outcome of mill
tary events, which at present would
hardly progresses him in favor of the
entente allies, there is no real expec-
tation in London that Greek assistance
will be forthcoming.
It is already announced from Ger
man sources that the Greek govern.
ment has informed the foreign diplo-
mats that in order to maintain neu"
trality it will disarm and intern all
Austrian troops which may retreat on
Greek territory. It is also stated in
German newspapers that ALBANIAN
troops are attempting to bar the 9th
er road by concentrating on the Ser.
bian border.
The Bulgarian successes at Katch'
anik Pass, Tetobo and Babuna Pass
have now been confirmed and the
Kussovo plateau, where the Serbians
expected to make a last desperate
resistance is now apparently opened to
the invaders. The Austrians are now
on the borders Of Novipazr and are
approaching Prisina. Thus, old Ser
bia as it existed before the last two
Balkan wars, is completely overrun by
hostile farces.

London, Nov. 18.-News from tho
Balkans continues to be patchwork
of uncon6rmed rumors and contra
dictory assertions, without official
statements to establish clearly tho
present status of affairs.
The Serbian armies, with insufficient
ammunition and inferior numbers.
have been attempting vainly to meet
the wide turning movement of the
Bulgarians, threatening Prilep and
Monastir. Some dispatches from Ath-
ems report Prilep already is in Bull
garian hands. All admit the Serbian
position there is untenable and that
evacuation of the city is invitable.
An Athens dispatch of the Exchange
Telegraph company says confirmation
has been received at Saloniki Of the
report that the Bulga-ians have en-
tered Prilep after junction with the
Bulgarian army coming from Tetovo.
A Havas dispatch from Athens to
