GERMANS Will
TAKE WARSAW
London, July 1s.-The Morning
Posts Budapest correspondent reports
that a gradual evacuation of Warsaw
has been ordered by the Russians.

d London, July 17-Whether Warsaw
can be held, was the question upper
most in the minds of military students
in London tonight. With the Ger
man field marshals, Won Hindenburg
on the north and Won Mackensen on
the south, whipping forward the two
ends Of the great arc around the city,
it is realized in England that Grand
Duke Nicholas, communicating chief of
the Russian armies, has the most Sc
we're task imposed upon him since the
outbreak of the war, and some mill
tary writer's on London papers believe
his task is we'll nigh impossible.
More and more the British press is
discounting the fall of the Polish cap
ital and while not giving up all hope of
it's retention, the press points out the
enormous difficulty the Russian arm
les have labored under.
Having been unable to straighten
out their line by their advance through
East Prussia in the north, and Ga
licia in the south, the Russians have
perpetually faced the pinchers of the
Austro-G Germans, and if these can now
be sufficiently frightened Warsaw must
go and with it the entire line.

MEXICO CITY FEARFUL OF
ATTACK BY CARRANZAISTS

Washington, July 19.-Mexico City
is again threatened with an attack by
Carranza forces under General Con.
zales, who drove the Zapata army
from the capital 10 days ago, and
marched huriedly northward to en-
gage the advancing Villa column be-
lieved to be planning junction with
Zapata troops, now menacing commun-
ications with Vera Cruz. State depart
ment dispatches today announced that
Gonzalez with most of his army, evac-
uated Mexico City yesterday, turning
the government over to the civil au-
thorities. ... ..,....
This was just received by advices
that Villas flying column, which cir
cled Obregon's forces after the battle
of Aguas Calientes, had captured Que
retaro and taken possession of Pa
chuca within 80 miles of Mexico City,
and were marching on the capital. ST.
simultaneously with the latter report
came the news that Carranza had TAX
en- possession of and recaptured
the railroad east of Apizaca, at the
junction point south of Pachuca and
ordered it to be held exclusively for
the transportation of troops and am
munition, thus preventing further ship
ment of provisions from Vera Cruz to
the needy thousands at Mexico City.
The officials made no effort to
conceal their belief that the situation
surrounding the Mexican capital was
grave. With another battle for the
possession of the city imminent, and
needed food shipments from the east
coast cut off, it is feared further suf-
fering among civilians will follow.
That the food shortage was not ex-
aggerated is indicated in the report to
the American Red Cross describing
the conditions existing shortly before
Gonzalez took possession of the city.
1t spoke of "the vastness Of misery
already apparent" and related instanc-
es of crowds besieging the slaughter
houses for the animals blood.
Secretary Lansing will not discuss
the recall from Mexico City of the
American Consul General Shanklin
further than to say he was returning
to Washington.

HINTS FOR AUTO OWNERS

Grand Forks, July 19.-Be sure that
storage batteries are kept filled with
water. In case distilled water is not
available, rain water, which has not
come in contact with metal pipes,
should be used. The batteries should
be examined each week whether the
machine is used or not.
Electric generators should be in
spected to make sure that the desired
current is flowing into the storage
battery. In case the proper current
is not found, the copper commutator
should be cleaned by means Of cloth
soaked in gasoline. This is best done
by allowing the engine to run while
the cloth is held against the revolv-
ing commutato r. Department Of En-
gineering, College Of Grand Forks.

EbCANPNtNT Was MOST
SUCCESSFUL EVER HELD

Devils Lake, July 19-The most sue"
cessful encampment ever held at Rock
Island passed into history yesterday
when the regiment entrained, COM
panies going in every direction. A
machine gun squad under command of
Lieut.. Wineman of Grand Forks goes
from here to Sparta, Wis, to partici-
pate in practice.
Adjutant General Thos. Tharaldson
is remaining here a few days to con-
tinue work which he had charge Of at
the camp. The general has had a
crew of men on the road at Rock Is
land and is using every effort to have
this throughfare put in excellent con-
dition. The state appropriation OF
$500 annually will soon be available.
The arrangements for the camp just
closed, which have been under the d.
rection of General Tharaldson, have
been especially we'll taken care of this
year. Everything was in first class
condition, Sergeant Rock, the custo'
dian. proving valuable asset.
The several social affairs given for
the officers during their stay, proved
delightful in every respect. The visit
of the officers was made pleasant in
the extreme and all expressed graft
tude for the treatment.
The camp has marked an effort to
train men to serve their country in
diligently, should the time come when
it will be demanded. The great OBJ
iect has been to teach the men how
to take care of themselves on the field.
In no feature of military life has such
progress been made as in sanitation

VALLEY CITY BOYS FINED
FOR ABSENCE FROM CAMP

Nine members of Company G who
were not in attendance at the annual
encampment of the state militia at
Devils Lake were given lesson in dis
cipline Monday. A detail of the COM
pany went out and picked them up
and brought them before First Lieut..
F. D. Graham, Co. A. of Bismarck.
who had been detailed as summary
court officer under the new state law.
This law was introduced by Senator
Mudgett, and is known as Senate Bill
No. 260. 1t provides that for non-at-
tendance at the encamDments men,
bers may be arrested and fined or Civ
en- Jail sentence if the fine is not
paid
The hearing Monday was held in the
office of Judge Moe. The nine parties
arraigned were given fines ranging
in amount from eight to ten dollars,
and in each instance the fine was paid.
The attendance at the annual en-
campment of the North Dakota ma
tional guard has become a serious
problem. The new law if enforced
may make or break a company. No
company can do effective work with
out a full quota of members on hand.
Enforcement of the law will make
them disband or keep up to the re-
uuirements.

ENTERTAINS FOR
THE NEWCOMERS

The "Get-together" spirit which has
been recently so much in evidence
among certain organizations of bust
ness men here in Valley City, was
manifested in social circles Monday
when Mrs. L. S. Platou entertained in
her beautiful home on Euclid avenue
for a number of ladies who have re-
Gently arrived in the city. In all 16
ladies were present and spent a de-
lightful afternoon with conversation
and music, both instrumental and vo-
cal, various members of the company
contributing to the pleasure Of the
others. Those for whom the enter
tainment was principally planned, in
order that they might meet many con-
genial friends, and be able to enjoy
the social life of the community, were
Mrs. George Jones, Mrs. Cameron.
Mrs. Dickson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs.
Woodham. of the conservatory of mu-
sic and Miss Lehman. The hostess
served delicious refreshments and a
very pleasant occasion was enjoyed by
all
This is one of series Of parties
given by Mrs. Platou for the purpose
of giving newcomers to the city a
chance to meet the social personnel Of
the community, and without doubt
many mutually helpful and enjoyable
friendships will in this manner be
formed. 1t is spirit worthy of emu
lation. A few years ago we knew in
a somewhat mechanical way when
ever anyone moved into the commun-
ity, but our city has now outgrown
this primitive stage, and unless some
definite efforts at getting acquainted
are made, very delightful and desirable
persons may now reside within the
city limits for number Of months be-
fore the majority of persons whom
they naturally expect to meet may
have any opportunity to form an &C.
quaintance. We arr all interested in
seeing our little city grow, and the
cordially extended to newcomers is
one Of the best ways to develop that
growth. AS citizens it is our duty to
make an especial effort to make the
strangers feel that they are not to re-
main strangers-thau we are glad to
welcome them to our homes-and by
so doing there is an assurance that we
shall receive by helpful and happy
friendship more than we extend. 1t is
to be hoped that many others may find
opportunity to follow the charming ex-
ample set by Mrs. Platou and that
Valley City may become still further
noted for it's pleasing and heartfelt
hospitality.

HAVE A FINE GARDEN

Out along Elmwood and Crescent
avenues is layout of gardens that
would attract attention in any section
of the country. Practically every veg
etable that is grown in the north is to
be seen there in profusion. One of the
best is that of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Holman, at the corner of Elmwood
and Crescent. Everything shows the
careful, painstaking cultivation which
makes the Germans the greatest gar
deners in the world, and demonstrates
that North Dakota can grow as good
truck as any section.

mulgated by the secretary Of agricul'
ture on Jan. 3, -914, and which went

ing based on the moisture content Of
the corn, the color, the amount OF
damage, foreign material and cracked
corn. It also included II general rules
for making this classification. Neces-
sarily even with the definite limits for
the more important factors, points will
arise on which the best exports may
differ. For this reason, the bulletin
gives somewhat in detail methods Of

DELEGATE ASKED TO MAKE FIGHT
 FOR FULL TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT

Tr HERE is no good why Delegate Wickersham
 should introduce and the passage by Con
 gress of bill providing for wide expansion of the powers of the Alaska local government says the Juneau Elm pre The election which had in November cannot be said have shown that the people of Alaska opposed to fu Territorial form of government Nearly all of the who elected the Legislature chosen platforms de carng it. and the only convention that endorsed the the platforms promulgated last year only that which Delegate Wickersham put forth all by himself failed to approve it. He successful in spite of that omission and because of it.
 The President has declared that he avors full Territorial form of government for Alaska and the history of the country is long precedent for such legislation There should be difficulty in securing the passage of the greatly needed statute
 An amendment of the Organic Act under which the Terri tory of Alaska is bundering along child in swaddng clothes would solve most of the legislation desired for this Terri tory and it would relieve Congress of lot of matters that do not properly within the of the duties of the National law making body of country whose affairs mutud mess than those of any other Nation.
 It is unfair to ask the Senators and Representatives of the Naton selected from all sections of the country attend to National affairs to time that belongs to all of the pie while they act local Legislature for the consideration local and regulations for Alaska And it is unfair to the people of this Territory compel them go without needed legislation until the Senators and Representatives Massachu ses and Georgia and Michigan and Texas and New York and California and the other States find convenient time slider local laws for country that they have
 full Territorial form of government would be a very simple and very sas factory solution of of Alaska ernmenta troubles Delegate Wickersham could do to add to his fame by securing it than he could do in any other
