The Bismarck Commercial club was
organized on Defender l, 1905, under

leading business men Of. the city,
Since that date the organization and
its officers have. worked steadfastly
for the best interests of the city

Of that body are often surprised by
the many and various matters which
have been given attention.
Better Train Service.
At the second meeting of the club,
the matter Of train service between
Bismarck and Linton was given con.
sideration and resolutions were drawn
which eliminated in the matter being
taken up with the railway officials.
The result was a much more ,satisfac-
tory service for all concerned. Since
that time many. matters of similar
nature have had attention. At differ
ent times favorable action has been
secured on rate schedules, express
rates and service, train and passen.

that of carrying mail on certain

SCHOOL STRIKE
At Devils LAKE
Superintendent Calls Bluff and
Students Return to Their
Studies.

Devils Lake, April 50.-Not until
Supt. Y. G. Barnell delivered the ulti-
matum, in a very decided tone Of
voice, that any students who failed to
report at the high school this after
noon, would be refused credit for the
entire years work; that there would
be no graduation exercises for tho
fourth year class. was the Strike Of
about a hundred students Broken
this afternoon. After an hours
demonstration through the streets Of
the city, which terminated at Ckau-
tauqua depot where a special train
was chartered to take them to the
lake shore, the Strikers reconsider
ed their rash act, reflected, as it were,
when they heard that there would be
no graduation or diplomas, and re-
turned to their books.
Reached Crisis.
Trouble at the high school reached
a crisis this morning when the STU
dent body endeavored to present a
petition, or rather a few demands, to
Superintendent Barnell. The latter
refused to accept it. 1t is understood
that the ultimatum of the students
contained the information that if a
certain very strong odor which was
prevalent in the high school existed
longer that they would refuse to "
tend sessions. The odor carries the
fragrance Of very ripe eggs. 1t is
produced as a chemical laboratory
trick which has been handed down

FIVE YEARS SHOWS
EXCELLENT GROWTH
Population Of North Dakota
Grows, From $50, 4s7 in 1910 Up
to 7o7,643 in April 1915.

The growth Of the state Is shown
best by a figure revealed by the cell
sls to the fact that the population Of
North Dakota has increased over ~
per cent in the past five years. The
reason "Why?" can be answered with
a directness by plain statement of a
fact to the effect that people are re.
turning to North Dakota form the
north, south, east and west every day
and buying the rich alluvial farm
lands of our state after having: tried
the lures Of the vast wheat areas CT
Canada; after having experimental
with the big red apple region of the
west; after having delved into the re-
puted richness Of our Southland and
after hiving been forced from the
crowded east to gain land and pros
perity in the sures, safest country
known on the American hemisphere,
the great progressive state of NORTH
Dakota. Because people r seeking
lis from all sides is the reason for
this unparalleled growth. The United
States government census gives North
Dakota a population Of 7O7,643,, ION
April is, 1915. It will be we'll to bear
in mind that the array Of figures pre-.
scented below is secured from govern
ment statistics and are the most reli.
able data that q be secured on the

as the property of the elevator com

London, April 30.-Serious damage
to the Turkish Notifications resulted
from the bombardment by an Allied
fleet which was carried out simultan'
eously with the landing Of troops in
the Dardanelles Monday. according tc
the Chronicles correspondent, who
thus described the operations:
Bcmbardment Terrific.
THE bombardment grew terrific
about midday. British and French
ships were clearly visible from the en-
trance to the straits. The largest
warships lay at the entrance near the
European side with others in Eren'
keui Bay, firing heavily on Kalid
Bahr and the mountains beyond. In
the distance several small ships di
rected the fire of the large units or
the Chanak and Kilid Bahr forts.
1.-The noise Of the guns was contin'
uous. the discharge frequently reach
ling twenty a minute.
Line Of Transports.
"Away to the left stretched the line
of transports which effected landings
late in the afternoon on the coasts op
posite and on the peninsula. The eff
feet of the naval bombardment evi.
IDENTIFY was severe. Tall columns OF
smoke and fire were seen on thc
heights above Seddul Bahr, Kephe2
Point and Chanak. By three O'Clock
the Seddul Bahr fort seemed utterly
knocked to pieces and the battleships
moved, further in, indicating that all
serious opposition on the shores up
to the narrows had been definitely
battered down. The Turks made lit
tie attempt to reply to the warships
Landed Battery.
Shorty after 6 o'clock the Turks
provided a diversion at Cape Helles
where the Allies had landed a battery
early in the morning. A Turkish bat
terry came into sight, moving into the
position to attack this landing force
but before the Turks could open fire
one of the warships turned it's atten
ton to them and found the range al
the first shot, burying the battery in
a cloud of dust. The second shell

Nevertheless the Turks stood by their
guns and managed to fire three in
effective shots before seven success
sive bombs dropped by airships wiped
them out. =
Fierce Artillery Dual.
"A fierce artillery dual took place
at z o'clock between forces which had
landed and Turks posted on the
heights beyond Eski Hisarlik. A
great British b~attleship came in close
to shore. to assist the batteries of the
landing force and silenced those OF
the Turks. +
"The net result Of the operations is
that the Allies are in complete pos
session of the tip of the Gallipoli pen
insula and the fiat shores of Suvla
Bay, ten miles from the narroWs or
the opposite side of the peninsula
Good progress also has been made to
wards the reduction Of the forts in
the narrows."

CANCER FORCES
Retirement
Russian General Attacked by the
Deadly Disease at Opening
of Conflict.

Petrograd, April 29.-The retire.
ment of General Russky, one of Rus.
sia's most distinguished military Iced.
ers, is announced. The general has
been suffering for some time from
cancer, and only continued so long in
his command through a high patriotic
sense OF duty. a-,
Geenral Russky made his mark
early in the war by his magnificent
conduct Of the Galician campaign, TAX
ing Lemberg and defeating the com
bined Austro-German armies. Latter.
ly, he has been in charge of the Rus.
sian forces around Phzasnysz and is
held largely responsible for the Rus.
sian successes there. The Emperor
accepted Russky's resignation with
an official rescript expressing his re-
greet and appointing Russky a mem
Der Of the Council of Empire.
The state OF Russky's health Is said
to very precarious, and it is not X
pected that he will be able to leave
his bed again.
London, April 38.-The average
number OF callers at the British War
Office daily is now over 1900. Most
Of them are on business, but there Is
considerable number of sightseers,
who express a wish to be Shown
around" or desire Lord Kitchener's
autograph for their collection. This
class Of callers generally receives
scant courtesy at the present time.
Perhaps the most difficult class to
deal with are the people with strange
inventions. A persistent woman Wis
itor who sought a personal interview
with Lord Kitchener wished to urge
that every soldier in the trenches
should have a lifeline tied to his
back, so that if wounded or buried he
could be hauled back to safety.

SIXTEEN CRUISERS ATTACK.

"Sixtccn armored cruisers attacked our advance batteries at
the narrows on April q, but although up to this evening thousands
of shells were fired upon our batteries, the infantry positions re-
