BIG RUSH
IS NOW ON

Minot, Oct. 21.-The 5000 mark in
the registrations for drawing in the
Fort Berthold lands was passed ex-
actly at 10 o'clock this morning. This
number was the limit set by many
persons as the total Of registrations
during the two weeks. The Indications
are that the number will be more than
doubled by the end of the week. The
total registration for the "a hours end
ing at midnight last night were 1,208.
This was the smallest number of the
three complete days of registration.
This afternoon there has been
rather constant stream of registrants,
but last night from midnight until
8 o'clock this morning there were but
208 registrations taken as against 305
of the same period of the preceding
day. From 8 o'clock this morning un.
til noon there were 265, while this aft
ernoon the number has been consil-
cradle above these figures. From
O'Clock this morning until 3 o'clock
this afternoon, when the count was
taken for the Optic-Reporter, there
had been 594 registrations made. This
with the 20S registered in the first
eight hours of the day makes the to-
tai for the day up to 3 o'clock S02
and the grand total since the regis
tration began 5,526.
The reports from Bismarck and
Plaza are that the registrations at
both those places are comparatively
small. No system of keeping account
of the number seems to be in
use at either place and the numbers
are mere matters of guess.
The number of local people who
are registering is remarkably small.
There have not been more than 200
altogether of Minot people who have
been entered. A larger number of
Ward county people have registered
today than on any other day since
the registration was opened, but the
number from other North Dakota
Dakota points is considerably smaller.
Among those who registered last
night were j. Gall Tough, who gave
Texas as his home state. High Henry
was another odd name that was en-
tered. The honor of the longest
name probably belongs to James An.
derson Hugh Albert Richardson Ed
ward Johnson, who comes from In
diana.

whose essays are ranked next. The
rules of the contest will be sent out
from the bureau of public information

One feature of Appreciation Week is
the setting aside Of Friday afternoon,
Nov. 49,, for special programs in all
the schools. Superintendent e. j
Taylor has issued a proclamation
which is as follows:
Bismarck, Nov. IS, 1915
To Superintendent and Teachers:-
BY formal proclamation of Governor
L. B. Hanna, the week beginning Nov
IA, has been set aside as North Dako
ia Appreciation Week." 1t is the wish
of Gov. Hanna and many other promi
nent citizens of our state that spe
cial effort be made to bring home
forcibly to our people the fact that we
reside in state of wonderful resour
ces which, as yet, are just beginning
to be appreciated. The future vel
fare of our state requires the develop
ment of these resources to their full
est extent.
You are requested to devote por
ton of the afternoon of Friday, Nov
10, to exercises in your school which
will strongly impress on our boys ant
girls the wonderful opportunities ou
state offers to industrious, thrifty ant
upright citizens. Impress on them thu
fact that, while our natural resource!
are great and in need of development
we must bear in mind that good citi
zenship must be developed at the SANE
time.
Let each teacher and superinten
dent write at least one letter to
friend in another state explaining tn
splendid opportunities which our stat
offers to Industrious, law abiding citi
zens. Call attention to our schools
churches, colleges and the splendid
spirit of fraternalism which prevail:
in North Dakota.
Respectfully,
E. ]. TAYLOR,

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 81. - A special
train will leave Atchison on October
rs for Minot, N. D., where the govern
ment registration and drawing takes
place for the famous Fort Berthold In
dian lands. The railway fare for this
special train from Atchison to Minot
and return, will be only $3.50, or less
than one cent per mile-the lowest
rate ever mode by the railroads for a
public land opening. This special train
carries Pullman sleeping cars and fur.
nishes fine bed and pleasant riding
accommodations for the entire trip for
only $3.50, making a total of only
$26.O9. Ak,
A particularly attractive feature Of
this land opening is the fact that
the Fort Berthold lands are located
in a we'll settled and well-developed
portion of the state in which the la
bors of pioneering so often existing
in government domains have already
been accomplished. This together
with the lands makes it one of the
most alluring land openings ever Offer
ed by the United States government.

One explanation of the shortage is
found in the return to their homes OF
thousands of army reservists and 9th
ers who have made their way back tc
Europe to fight for their native coun
tries. Canada, it is said, is suffering
from this cause to an even greater
extent than the United States. There
as in North Dakota, the situation is
depicted as serious.

Carranza Will Settle

Washington, Oct. 81. - European
governments are asking the United
States what assurances have been
given by the newly recognized Mexi
can government with respect to for
eign claims. 1t is generally under
stood that the powers of Europe will
follow the lead of the American re-
publics in recognizing General Car
rama, but before taking any step they
want to know more what settlement
is to be made of the huge claims
growing out of the revolutionary con
ditions of the last few years.
General Carranza has decided to
appoint several mixed commissions,
to be composed of representatives of
the interested nations, in order to
reach an equitable settlement. 1t is
unlikely that the United States gov
eminent will press it's claims until
Mexican credit has been firmly re.
established and arrangements made
for payment of the southern republics
national obligations.

Mrs. P. P. Persons and Mrs. Harry
Codidng, accompanied by some other
ladies, autoed out to the ]. H. Rogers
home on Getchell Prairie Friday after
noon, and spent a pleasant afternoon.
One of the notable events of the after
noon was picking Strawberries from
the vines of Mr.. Rogers splendid bed
of ever-bearing strawberries, of which
he is Justly proud. 1t is rare thing
to pick fresh, ripe strawberries on the
22nd day of October in North Dakota,
but these were fine large ones, and of
delicious flavor. Not merely stray
berry here and there, but enough for a
meal. If more people realized the
worth of this plant they would not be
so dependent on the shipped-in variety
with which they have to be content
now. g.. ~ > -.,

A Big Victory Would
Influence the Neuhals

London, Oct. 21.-The German ar
mics, which for nearly Is months have
been continuously fighting on one
front or the other, are now on the Of
fensive at three widely separate points
against Riga and Dvinsk, in Serbia
and in the Champagne district of
France. In the two former places they
continue to make progress but against
the French their attack of yesterday
delivered to the east of Rheims, met
with complete repulse as did those
of previous days.
While it was expected that the Aus
tro-German onslaught on the north
would be the most formidable, as a
matter of fact the Bulgarian attack
against the Serbians through the val
ley from the east, are proving the
most dangerous. 1t is now definitely
settled that the Bulgarians have cut
the Saloniki-Nish railway to the north
of Vranya, thus driving a wedge be-
tween the main Serbian army and
the Anglo-French forces which landed
at Saloniki. .-.-... ".
With the rapid sweep westward of
the Bulgarians, the peoples of the al
lied countries are watching with keen
est interest negotiations which are
proceeding between their governments
and the king and government of
Greece. These negotiations are being
carried on by the British foreign Of
fee in behalf of the allies. Having
failed to have convinced Greece that
it was her duty to abide by the Serbo-
Greek treaty and help Serbia when
she was attacked, the allies have
made fresh offer to that country in
GLIDING the cession by Great Britain
of the island Of Cyprus. This other and
possible financial help is now being
considered by the Zaimis cabinet.
Should negotiations fail it is ex-
pected that Greece will be asked to
demobilize or clearly define her at
titude. Conversations are also pro-
ceeding with Rumania which it is
understood are in charge of the
French foreign Office.
Meanwhile, all the belligerents real
ize that the best way to influence the
neutral state is to win big victory.
Austria, Germany and Bulgaria are
trying for this in Serbia; Germany in
CORTLAND and France; Italy in Tyrol
and Trentino, and Russia near Slonim,
which roughly is the center Of the
eastern front. Volhynia and Galicia.
Except for the German attack in
France, all these are meeting with
more or less success. 80,
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg, in
his attack on Riga, and only dozen
miles southwest of the Baltic port. AS
an Offset to this, the Russians, by a
dashing attack have carried the Ger
man position southeast of Baranovihi,
and important railroad junction, east
Of slonim, on the Leda-Rogno rail
way, taking more than $500 prisoners
and, according to German official
admission, have continued their sue
cess on the Middle styr south Of the
Prippet marshes in Volhynia and Ca
licia.

WEEDS A FAMILY TO
 EVADE WAR SERVICE

Havre, July 2o-Annong instances of attempted evasion of military service recently noted here, one of the most unusual is the strategem. of an en- gineer, who served some time at the fronts and then came home on leave. He was determined not to go back and set about finding a way.
 He is the father of three children, thus lacking three to be exempt from military service. However. just be- fore his leave was up. he was mar ried to a. widow. the mother of three, and Hl1ds freed him from further ser vice.
 A few days after the wedding he received a letter of congratu1altion signed by the members of his conn pany. It said:
 tsCongratu1ations; you are a, hero. May you never sigh for the peace of the trenches P

Former Unionist Discredits Work of
 Strike Leaders

"Of the 60 mac1adnists employed on night shift at the plant Of the Remington Arns-U. M. c. Co. only five have union cardss.' declared E. c. Lahar to-dayl Mir. Lahar is an ex- pert mechanical engineer who has held positions of responsibiltty with the American Graphophone Go. and other large manufacturing plants in this city. He is a. former member of the Machinists union, but is not now affiliated with them.
 .sIn my Judgment" he said today. attf1e union officials cannot call out enough machintsts and toolmakers to win a strike In the first place they don't know what they are striking for. A large number of thes emen have been out of employment for some months until these war orders struck town. don't think they are going to jeopardize their bread and butter by walking out of their jobs at the request Of some out of town official just now.
 .tOf the five men who have union cards on the night shift at the Rem ington Arms-U. M. c. Go, four are members of the Arnal ganated Asso- cfation of Engineers which is Brit ish organization. do not believe the officials of the Machinists' union are on the level here.'i

HOW THE STRIKE ORDER AFFECTED
 FOUR FACTORIES

Of the twenty nachinists and tool makers employed at the Bridgeport Engineering Co, nine quit work to- day in response to the strike order.
 At the Columbia Nut and Bolt Co.,, Fred Atwaters secretary and treasurer of the company was in New York to- day, but man who refused to give his name but said he had authority to talk declared that not a single ma chinist had left the factory. He also said that he did not anticipate that anyone would go out.
 Edward F. RuIlard, IT,. President of the Bul1ard Machine Tool CO. said: Not a single man has left our employ to-day on strike" Asked re- garding the reported wholesale dis charge of union r1achinists there on, Saturday night MT. Bu1lard replied: Nothing to- that at all"

 CTS were leaving the factories of th e plant. carrying ther tools with them. They announced they can go no fur ther because there is nothing for them to do.
 Outside the plant Speculation this afternoon concerned what had hap pened to hold up the strike Accord ing to a fumor that appeared to have complete foundation and which eI1- anated from the inside of the factor ies, the n7acIinists had received a statement this morning. just before nocns in which it was promised that they would receive the eight hour day immediately and besides this, an increase in wages of $1 a day for. ev- cry maehinist in the factories.
 The claim made by many union men. however, that the meeting of Friday night was not fully attended and mot a sufficient number of men were present to warrant the order for a general strike of .machinists This in the opinion, of many union men, expressed today, caused the holding up of the strike and they were free in their assertions that the persons who attended the meeting Friday should not have taken such action without consulting the whole body.
 Men who did attend the meeting and labor leaders, however, defend the action by asserting that the meeting was regularly called and a quorum was present. To the claim that the men were not given sufficient time in which to strike, they reply that the publicity and long fomenting of the troubles was -Marnt1g enough

TOUGH. OLD IRON.
The Famous Pillar In the Temple cf
 Kutab Minar at Delhi.

The Famous Pillar In the Temple cf
 Kutab Minar at Delhi.
 There seems to be no doubt that the metal produced p>s.vious to the intro duction of modern methods was supe- rior in its resistance to corrosion to the present day product. I have seen vari- Ous iron articles, especially nails, which showed far less rust after an exposure of a hundfed years or so than the mod ern variety does in q few weeks. : One article, an old hintlock pistol, was especially interesting. It was found by friend in a patch of woods In Vermont and had evidently laid there for many years, since a piece of newspaper with the date 179e had been used as wadding in loading it. All the iron parts wore rather rough and pit ted and covered with rust, but the arm was in surprisingly good shape 4consid- ering the conditions to which it had been subjected The spring, hammer and trigger were still capable of per- forming their functions, and very little effort was required to put the old weapon in decidedly presenta ble condi- ton.
 Perhaps one of the most noted of the iron articles which have come down to us from antiquity is tho famous pillar in the temple of kutab ATinar at Delhi, India. This old shaft. which projects some thirty feet above the surface of the ground, was erected about 800 B. c. Today it shows little trace of rust. al though it has had no protective coat ing ot1fer than that which the atnos- pere itself has formed upon it.-L. e. Wilson in Engineering Magazine.
