the nearest parishes to America, but the world war has found them out.
 Industrial Ireland will suffer a se- riouS war loss in the tobacco trade, not great perhaps in financial amount but important as affecting very hopeful future prospect. The country is particularly well suited for growing tobacco. Some years ago it was per- mitted by the government which had formerly forbidden it. Experiments were made under government auspices and growers were encouraged to put their capital into tobacco crops. Sue cessful crops were .5'own notably in Meath, Wexford and Louth. Irish to- bacco had passed beyond the stage of experiment. and had outliyed the wit of the comic papers. Pipe tobacco, as we'll as cigars and cigarettes grown in Ireland, found good sale, but it is now declared that the taxes in the new budget will annihilate the indus try and deprive the workers of source of profitable employment on the land.

North Dakota Man Wins Fame
BY Discoveries in Arctic Circle

Nome, Alaska, Sept. 17.-Vilhjalmar
Stefansson, chief of the Canadian gov
eminent Attic exploring and survey
ing expedition that left Victoria, B. G..
in June, 1913, and who set out afoot
over the ice with two companions
from the shores Of northeastern Alas
ka in March, 1914, to seek new land in
unchartered seas did not 60 to his
death as the world had begun to fear.
but found the new land and the only
hardships endured were those of short
ratiOns.
The power schooner Ruby arrived
from Hershal island yesterday with
dispatches from Stefansson to the
Canadian government in which he
amits reference to the perils of the
journey on the ice and gives space
to the scientific results achieved.
He seems to be quite unaware OF
the anxiety his long silence aroused.
Stefansson is wintering at Banks
island where he has large power
schooner and a small one. He plans
to explore his new territory during
the winter, and next summer pene-
trate further into the region between
Alaska and the North pole where no
ship has ever gone. ..'A
The southern, or Anderson wing Of
the expedition, is pursuing it's scien-
tific work on the Mackenzie delta and
reports no mishap except the death
,, of Engineer Daniel Blue of the power
boat Alaska.
This is the thirteenth death among
the members of the expedition. Eight
men persisted on the ice while trying
to reach Wrangel island, and another
accidentally shot and killed himself
there. Another in the Mackenzie
country went insane while lost and
committed suicide by shooting.

Geneva, Sept. 10. (via Paris).-The
Lausanne Gazette says it has learned
that the German government has de-
cided to issue declaration annexing
to the German empire the occupied
territories in France and Belgium.
The Gazette says this measure has
been determined on for the near fu
ture, because it now appears impos
sible that the war will be ended, as
has been hoped, before winter. Ac
cording to this newspaper, the German
government intends to organize the
conquered territory from political
and administrative standpoint, which
is expected to strengthen Germany's
moral position.
Civil administration has been slowl,
replacing military rule in the occu
pied regions and, the Gazette con
tinues, this process will be extended
methodically.

LOST FARM HOME BY FIRE

Mandan, Sept. 16.-John Swanberg,
who resides near Barnes, about rs
miles southwest of Mandan, lost his
home and all the contents yesterday
afternoon in fire that is supposed
to have originated from an explosion
Of the gasoline stove. Mr.. Swanberg
had just lit the stove and had taken
pail to 60 to the we'll for water.
While he was pumping the water he
noticed flames break from the house
and before he could get to the house
the fire had gained such Roadway he
could not save single article. With
great difficulty he was able to prevent
the spread Of the fire to the granary
and barns. Mr.. Swanberg estimates
his loss on the house and contents at
$1,000. There was insurance on the
house for $500 in the Morton and Oil
yer County Mutual Insurance Co. Last
spring Mr.. Swanberg's wife died, and
this misfortune following makes his
lot certainly sad one.

Mackensen Near Wilma.

London, Sept. 18.-The city of Wilma
is now virtually invested on three
sides. The troops of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen have reached a point
near Vileika, 81 miles southeast of the
city. The fall of Wilma would place in
possession of the Germans consider
able section of the railroad to Petro-
trograd, portion of which between
Dvinsk and Wilma they already hold.
On the southern end of the battle
line the Russians continue to gain sue
cesses, their latest achievements be-
ing the capture of 1900 men along the
Stripa. Little activity is reported from
the center of the line where a read
justment is expected following Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's capture Of
Pinsk.
Reports that the Austrians and Ger
mans have decided to initiate new
offensive campaign are multiplying,
but there is little concrete evidence
concerning the direction which it may
be expected to take. Cabling from
Rotterdam, several correspondents as
sert they have reason to believe the
central powers have not only decided
to strike heavy blow, but have al
ready put under way the preliminary
military movements. 1a@E.. =
The object of the new campaign is
generally believed to be either Italy
or Serbia. Apparently there has not
been any great concentration of troops
along the Danube and Save rivers.
Considerable activity has been dis
played along this front recently. Aus
trian attempts to cross the rivers have
been checked, and according to Off
cial reports from Nish, Serbian artil-
lery has destroyed fortified works on
the banks of the river. ~
1t is felt here that the Balkan prob
lem has reached a critical stage. The
Turco-Bulgarian agreement, coupled
with the announcement of Premier Ra-
doslavoff of Bulgaria, that public opin-
ion was opposed to any attack on Tur-
key, seems to have settled the attitude
of the Bulgarians, at least as long as
the Dardanelles remain closed to the
entente powers.
There probably will be no further
development in the controversy over
CONSUMPTION until parliament meets
again next week.
