ILLINOIS IS now
HALF DRY STATE

Chicago, April IA total of so out
of 102 counties in Illinois are entirely
dry today, three new counties-Mar-
ion, Franklin and Jasper, having been
added to the dry column in yesterdays
local option election.
About 100 saloons were voted out of
business, out of the $50 involved in As
townships. The chief try victory was
in Centralia, which has been wet for
so years. Thirty-eight saloons were
voted out there. In Wisconsin, cities,
towns and villages, which voted on the
liquor question yesterday showed a
gain for dry forces in the larger cities
voting on the issues-Madison, Super
ior, Ashland and Beloit, remained in
the wet column.
Nineteen cities and towns, which
formerly were wet, went dry while
only four villages, which were dry,
went over to the saloon forces.

Few if any series of addresses have
ever attracted more attention and fav'

Rev. C. E. Vermilya at the Methodist
church during the last few weeks. The
general theme was 1.-THE Quest for
Life" The church has been filled to
overlooking every night. Sunday
night many could not get in at all
though every available corner had an

been full of suggestions as to what
would and would not make for large

nouncement was made Sunday night
that beginning next Sunday night a
complementary series to this one will
be preached on "The Quest for God,

man embassy within the past few days
1t has become almost buyant, whereas
two weeks ago, it was severely dull
and grayish. The German ambassa-
dor is not talking even among his fel-
lows at the embassy, but he somehow
gives them and certain newspaper
intimates serving the German press in
this country a feeling that something
is in the air which points to the con-
clusion Of the fierce trial Of their
country.
Count Won Bernstorff, contrary to his
former attitude, appears to want the
subject discussed. Financiers think he
may be doing this to forward the sale
of German securities in this country.
The marketing Of British and French
securities has been a success in Ameri-
ca. The Germans have felt that there
was discrimination against them.
There has been, but it is the discrimin-
|ation that money deals in. It is Meth
er sentimental nor radical. The in.
vestment public in this country ap-
pears to feel that France and Eng
land can and will pay anyway, but
that Germany needs not far distant
peace.
The reported German terms include
the return of Belgium but saying moth
ing of rehabilitating Belgium. 1t will
take millions of money to replace the
Belgium whose borders Germany
crossed last August. The destruction
has been well nigh universal. Eng
land thinks Germany should pay this
bill and will not lay down arms cheer
fully until it is saddled on the Ger.
mans.
Nor do the reported terms relating to
the government of the sea, at all suit
the British. She will not have attained
her objective if the German navy is al
lowed to come out of Cuxhaven spick
and span in paint and colors after the
war. She wants it reduced, either
through the peace terms or through
battle.
The American state department
maintains stoutly that it has no init
nation, hint or suggestion of peace
from any quarter but it would say tn:
same thing if it had, which is but dip
lomatic courtesy to the nations that
may be putting flea in the American
ear. Undoubtedly this government, as
President Wilson suggested the Other
evening in a speech, receives more Of
the mind of the belligerents than any
other.

EARLY MONDAY MORNING

T. L. Codding passed away early
Monday morning at his home. Mr..
Codding had been suffering for some

in 1872. He resided in Green town
ship until about four years ago when
he moved to this city and has since
been the steward at the Commercial

10000 men ENGAGED IN A
FIERCEC0NFLICT IN MEXICO

Irapuato, Mexico, April 10.-General
Francisco Villa is engaged in battle
with the forces of his former friend
and fellow soldiers, General Alvaro
Obregon, the man whom he now con-
siders a traitor to Mexico and the
arch enemy of the country. The fight
has been in progress for four days
about the town of Celaya, 80 miles
from here. The loss of life has been
heavy on, both sides.
Villas artillery has been raining
shrapnel into the town with terrific
effect. The Carranzists, entrenched
behind barb wire barriers have been
able, with their machine guns and
rifle fire, to stop the fierce cavalry on
slaughts which were directed against
the Notifications.
About 100000 men are engaged in the
battle. Villa has $4,000, with rein
forcements arriving daily. Obregon
is reported to have left between TO-
600 and $4,000 in the city when he de-
parted for Queretaro. Although Villa
has not taken the city, his army feels
victorious because, with inferior num-
bers, they have stopped Obregon's adj
vance to the north, which had appar-
emily been planned to take advantage
Of Villas activity in the Tampico cam
paign. e..
Villas sudden departure with such
a large force from Monterey came as
a surprise to the Carranzaistas, who
were advancing without opposition in
that part of country. H..

Excavation for the new Congrega-
tional church was formally begun
Monday morning at $50, when Mrs.
Wylie Nelson, deaconess of the local
organization, turned the first shovel OF
earth amid appropriate services, at
the corner of Fifth street and Sixth
avenue north.
At meeting of the deacons of the
church Sunday morning it was decided
to open the work for the new edifice
by suitable exercises which should
commemorate the occasion, and plans
were hastily made which resulted in a
fine gathering of representative men,
bers of the church at an early hour
Monday morning for a sunrise meet
ing which should renew enthusiasm in
the work about to be done, augment
loyalty and interest in the cause and
strengthen the community spirit in
the new institutional enterprise about
to be launched in the city. When the
campaign for funds was made last fall,
many persons not connected with the
Congregational church pledged them
selves literally in response to solicita-
ton because of the community element
predominant in the plans. The new
church is to be a seven-days-of-the-
week institution for the general up
lift and encouragement of the COM
munity, where UNCONVENTIONAL doc
trines shall form no barrier to partici-
patton and where all members of the
family will find enjoyment and help
suited to their respective needs. This
fact was evidenced Monday morning
by the assemblage of persons of ali
ages who crowded about to enjoy the
novel occasion and rejoice in the be-
ginning of actual work on what has SO
long been hoped for.
Under the leadership of Professor
Meyer, the choir sang number of ap-
propriate selections, the entire audi
ence joining in the service; E. c. Hill
born, Supt. of the Sunday School, read
the Bible lesson, and Rev. Lyon led
the invocation. President Mcfarland
delivered an earnest and inspiring ad-
dress, calling attention to the fact
that it was only through sacrifice and
constant endeavor that any good
thing was accomplished, and urged
, that each person do his best to uphold
and continue the work which was be-
ing begun as a suitable elimination of
the years Of growth and effort through
which the earlier church had passed.
Mrs. Wylie Nelson, a member of the
Building Committee, and who for many
years has been the church deaconess.
turned the first shovel of earth, follow
ed by many others who represented
various branches of church activity,
and Rev. Lyon formally pronounced
the work of excavation to have begun.
The doXology was sung and the crowd
a photograph of the group. Men and
teams stood by ready to continue the
work of excavation, the ascending sun
shone brilliantly through the frosty
morning, and with renewed enthusi-
asm and the satisfaction of the mater
ialization of long-deferred hopes, the
members of the First Congregational
Church of Christ, of Valley City, hast
ened to their delayed breakfasts after
what will remain in the minds of them
all as memorable occasion.

PERSISTENT REPORTS OF

lions, according to state department
information from abroad tonight.
1t was said the financiers have
been pointing out that the strain was
growing unbearable, that some ma

ended soon.
Because of this, officials looked for
financial pressure, both in London and
Berlin, to restore peace in the near
future.

ments, Washington today is full of
rumors of the coming peace in Europe
Whether these rumors are deductions
from the sudden impulse given to the
stock market as foreshadowing a set,
Element or are the result of the infer
ences people themselves draw from the
course of the fighting or are based on
hints falling from subordinate mem
bers Of the state department, the fact
is that they persist and will not be
quieted by official denials.
The report today was based on some
minimum terms that Germany is said
to have put forth as a feeler. The sub
stance of these terms as outlined in
different quarters is the cessation of
war without indemnities on any side
and the return of the territorial con-
quests. Evidently such terms would
give Belgium back to the Belgians but
without any money to restore the coun-
try. To overcome this apparent defect
in the terms there has been brought
forward in the gossip a suggestion that
Germany pay Belgium a fair price for
the Congo Free State. The similarity
of this proposition to the payment by
Russia of sum for the repurchase of
the southern half Of Saghalien island
in lieu of indemnity after the Russo
Japanese war tends to make the sus-
gestion appear reminiscent.
1T is difficult in the presence of very
dense official silence to make up ones
mind whether these persisting rumors
of peace are made up from some hints
dropped or are merely the expression
Of what people would like to believe.

NORTH DAKOTA
HAS 7O7,643

On April Is of this year, just five
years from the last decennial census
and midway until that of 1920, the
estimated population of the state OF
North Dakota will be 7O7,643, as COM
pared with 577,056 in 1910, an in
crease of 103,587, or a rate of gain
of 22.6 per cent for the fve-year
period. The estimates are based on
the methods followed by the United
States census bureau. The annual
estimates by the census bureau are
of July l, but as April Is is the ex-
piration of the fve-year period since
the last census, that date is given the
preference in this publication. How
ever, the July l estimate is also
given and on that date it will be 49,
