.BAYONET CHARGE
ON skis STOPPED
French Chasseurs Nego'
tiate Snowclad Slope
TO Foes Trenches.

Paris. Feb. I4.--Thc French have now
brought under their fire the German
positions on the River Meuse at st
Mihiel, the apex Of the wedge when
the invading force drove into the
French front months ago. The unof
fcial dispatches which brought this
| information do not state whether the
French have made an advance in this
region or have adopted the use OF
heavier guns.
A few weeks ago the French artillery
succeeded in destroying the pontoon
bridges which connected the Germans
main position on the east side OF the
river with the outposts on the western
bank.
What is said to be the first bayonet
charge on skis during the present war
was made yesterday in the 'osges
Mountains, near Col du Bonhomme.
Forty Alpine chasseurs, with two ON.
GERS, were cut off by the Germans and
were ordered to surrender. They re-
fused, and charged down the snow
covered slope on their skis into the
German trenches, where terrible
struggle took place before the French
soldiers were overcome.
The city Of Rheims has been bonn
barded again by the Germans, and Is
said to have suffered severely.
The Germans have begun a more
violent offensive in Alsace, where two
columns are proceeding with difficulty
through the snow in the LAUGH valley.
on opposite banks Of the river.
Refugees who have been expelled
from Alsace- Lorraine declare that the
Germans are making extraordinary
preparations to resume the offensive in
that region.
The wife of foreman at the impor-
tant machine works Of Graffenstaben,
town to the south Of Strsssburg and
including Fort Won der Tam, says that
more than 100000 men are being as
sembled along the Rhine and that for
midabe entertainments are being pre-
pared Every village Is reported to
have been put in shape to sustain
siege.
All the inhabitants whose German
sympathies are doubtful, refugees say,
are being expelled from the region,
and every person showing inquisitive-
ness is taken into custody and sent
into Germany.

In the original protest the cardinal

1t had been reported that an entire

Cbristiania, Feb. 14.-Reports from
Germany printed in Scandinavian news
napers indicate that the German naval
authorities regard the painting OF ma
tional colors on neutral ships TO be an
insufficient precaution, since the great
est danger threatened is not from tor
pedoes, but from mines. 1t is intended
TO scatter these mines from German
submarines, especially constructed for
the purpose, and the plan will be vigor-
ously pursued in all parts OF the pro-
claimed area.
Rome, Feb. 14.-Itsly made virtually
the same representations to Germany
as did the United States, concerning
neutral shipping in the sea war zone
created by the recent German proclama-
ton, it was made known to-day. Italy,
however, did not sent note to Berlin,
nor did she take any formal step, lin
iting her action TO friendly observa-
tions through the Italian Ambassador
to Germany. -.
Italy merely asked that her position
as a neutral power be maintained ac--
cording TO the rules of international
law, taking as basis the right of her
ships to proceed without molestation
further than the ascertaining of the
nationality of the people on board and
the quality of the cargoes, unless Ger
many should be able to make the block
ade effective.

Berlin (via London, Feb. 14.-The
Bundesrath to-day decided to expropri-

the exception of seed oats and the
grain necessary for fodder for horses.
The order becomes effective on Febru-

The Bundesrath also raised the maxi

The action of the Bundesrath, or
Federal Council, in expropriating the

step in the direction of the German
governments policy Of conserving the
food supplies Of the country. On Janu-
airy 20 the Federal Council ordered the
seizure by February of all stocks Of

School Built Up at Valley
City, May Be No New
Buildings Instruction
Work Longer Here Than
In Other Schools.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 1.--President
Mcfarland of the Valley City Normal
was before the Lathrop investigating
committee for the entire afternoon
Saturday and in the opinion OF those
present outside of the committee
members, rendered a good account Of
his school and the management. He
certainly showed that his professors
worked longer hours than those in
other schools when his report indicat-
ed from 20 to rs hours OF class room
work for each instructor He said
that the expense of running the insti-
tuition could be reduced if the size Of
the classes were enlarged but that
that would be done at the cost OF etfi-
cheney. The president was told that
there would be no recommendation
for a 100000 building and that there
would be some other cuts made in the
requests making the total appropria-
ton that would be recommended by
the committee about $4,000.
Only three members of the commit
tee were present at the hearing Satur-
day, Twichell, Kretschmar and Dickin-
son. Knox and Albrecht were at
their homes for Sunday and Senator
Sandstrom was under the weather 50
he was not able to attend. 1t is eX-
pected that the entire membership Of
the committee will be present when
DR.. Crane of the Minot Normal school
and DR.. Hillyard of the Mayville Nor
NAL will be cross questioned. One
member of the committee had made
the statement that there will be par
tial report of the recommendation
ready for the legislature when it con-
venes again Tuesday. This report wild
embody the cuts in the various appro-
priations that have already been az
rived at.
The president of the Mayville school
will be asked about the balance they
have on hand of over $4,000. VI
seems that this money according to
the authorities of the school cannot
be used for anything but maintenance
and they have plenty of money from
their interest and income fund to
carry on the work of the school and
they have the condition existing that
they have too much money in one
fund and are asking the state FOR
money with which to erect an addi
tional building.
Before closing the meeting Satur-
day afternoon the committee compli
mented President Mcfarland on the
school he had built up at Valley City
and gave him credit for being perhaps
the best financier of all the education
al heads so far before the committee.

FARMERS SHOULD -. ~. =.
INCREASE ACRE "
AGE THIS YEAR

From every quarter, farmers, manu-
facturers and merchants in general
are being urged to seize time by the
forelock and take advantage of the
opportunity created by the great
European war for extending their re-
lations and incidentally gathering in
some handsome profits. Wheat and
other food products have already
made sharp prices advances, more by
reason of anticipated heavy demands
from the warning nations than be-
cause of any actual shortage now ex-
listing. And undoubtedly it is true
that much financial benefit will come
to shrewd farmers and others who are
quickwitted and adaptable to make
hay while the sun Shines" The fact
cannot be blinked however, that a
sudden cessation of hostilities abroad
remote though it may appear at this
writing-would tumble down the
flimsy structure of war-infated prices
and possibly cause disastrous anti
climax.
There is one branch of the farmers
business, however, that can be under.
taken and extended to almost any
available limit without consideration
of war conditions or danger of over
production for many years to come.
; Reference is made to the live stock,
food animals and dairy industry.
, How many farmers are aware tina.
whilst the population of the United
States has increased from 62,947, TAI
in 1890 to an estimated population of
9S,7S1,324 in 1914, the number of cat.
tie in the country has only grown
from 52,801,907 in 1890, to 56,527, 900
in 1914, an increase of only 1880
while the population has increased
35,833,610. In other words population
has increased $50 per cent and cattle
nave only increased 7.O5 per cent
Surely no more significant figures
could be presented than these in sup
port of the contention that the live
stock industry is conservative and
perfectly safe avenue for investment
with exceptional opportunities fo1
most satisfying profits. Between these
same years the number of sheep and
swine has increased somewhat, but ir
no manner proportionately with thu
growth of population. Had cattle in
cerased in proportion to the number
of people in the country, the number
would not be 82,846,192 instead o.
56,527 900, or 26,319,192 more thar
are now in existence.
