SLAIN IN
PLOT, 1T IS SAID

El Paso, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE death
of General Rodolfo Fierro, reported
from Casas G%randes, move from
the Villa campaign a notable leader.
Fierro sprung into prominence at
the time of the killing of William Ben
ton, a British subject, at Juarez two
years ago. Benton's death, which has
never been satisfactorily explained,
has been laid to Fierro, then Villas
bodyguard.
During one of Villas critical battles
Fierro, in the face Of a deadly fire, un-
coupled a troop train, preventing the
arrival of Huerta reinforcements. This
deed of valor is said to have won him
his g%eneralship.
Later Fierro became notorious as
an eXecutioner. One of his exploits,
as reported from the battlefield, was
the shooting of more than 300 pris-
oners taken in battle. He is report
ed to have killed the men as they
stood in a row and as rapidly as his
aide could feed his gun.
The report that Fierro met hisdeath
by drowning is discredited generally
here. In we'll informed circles it was
limited that Fierro vas the victim Of
a conspiracy.

WILL RECOGNIZE CARRANZA
Diplomatic Relations With Mexico to
Be Resumed.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Mexico have been formally re-
newed after a lapse Of two years and
eight months by the formal r~ecogni-
tion OF Venustiano Carranza as the
chief executive of the de facto gov
eminent of Mexico.
Secretary Lansing and the ambas-
sailors from Brazil, Chile and Argen-
tina and the ministers from Bolivia,
Uruguay and Guatemala, constituting
the Pan-American conference on Mex
lean affairs, met and decided upon
the form in which their respective
governments would present recogni-
ton. Afterward, Secretary Lansing
made this announcement:
THE conferees, under instruction
from their several governments, will
recognize the de facto government of
Mexico, of which General C~arranZa is
the chief ~executive."

HEAVY LOSSES IN
The DwARDANELLES

London, Oct. 16.-Announcement OF
the great losses of the British forces
at the Dardanelles follows the sensa-
tional speech in the house Of lords Of
Lord Miner, who is said to have char
acterized the expedition as hopeless.
He suggested withdrawal of the troops
from Gallipoii peninsula and their
transfer to some other front.
The figures given out do not tell
the full story of what it has cost the
allies to attempt to force the Oar
danelles. In addition to the British
casualties are the losses of the
French, concerning which no reliable
information is available. The British
total, however, bears out dispatches
from correspondents on this front,
who have described the loss of life as
frightfui. In some instances, accord,
ing to these advices, trenches and gull
Ieys have been choked with the dead.
Turkish losses also have been de-
scribed as very heavy.

News of the Week From Many
Sections Of the State.
HANNA ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Governor Names Nov. IA to 20 as Ap.
probation Week and Appeals
for Loyal Support.

North Dakota Appreciation week,
Nov. IA to 20, is formally proclaimed
by Governor l.. B. Hanna in a procla-
nation issued from his office at Bis
marck. The governor points to the
fact that North Dakota has remark
ably splendid conditions that prevail
in the state and he believes the spirit
OF appreciation week is one worthy Of
the support of every loyal North Da-
kotan. Governor Hanna's proclama-
ton follows:
During the past few years the peo-
pie of North Dakota have enjoyed a
large measure of prosperity and the
state has made great forward strides
until we have attained an advanced
position among the younger common
wealths of u country. To the far
mer, business man, or manufacturer,
North Dakota offers a field rich in op-
%portunity.
"To us who have lived in North Da-
kota the wonderful advantages and
opportunities offered are accepted as
a matter of course, but to those liv-
ing in other states and in other coun
tries the blessings which we enjoy
are undreamed of. Naturally we ap-
%preciate the advantages offered here
in North Dakota. We appreciate u
homes, Il children, our churches,
our excellent school system and u
opportunity for further advancement.
1t is for us to show our appreciation
by each and every n of us making
known as far as possible to the out
side world the fact that North Dako-
ia and the people Of North Dakota
extend a joyful welcome to all who
may wish to come among us and
make their homes. We need more
people and can take care of them by
the tens of thousands and to those
who are looking for a place to estab-
lish new homes we offer an assured
success by the exercise Of moderate
effort in the development of our vast
resources.
"In the cooperation with the state
wide movement fostered by the North
Dakota Press association it is proper
that a week be set aside in which the
pcOplc VI 4NOl III DohOld o1dil LudhS
known to the outside world the story
of our prosperity and advancement.
"Now, therefore, l, l.. B. Hanna,
governor, do hereby proclaim the
week of Nov. 1920 as Appreciation
week in the state of North Dakota for
1915, and let us during the week make
special effort to get in touch with our
friends of other states and instill into
our correspondence with them that
high spirit of optimism which is so
natural to the true North Dakotan."

SIXTEEN KILLED IN WRECK
Union Pacific Motor Train Drops
Through Bridge.

Randolph, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Thrown
headlong from their seats on their fell
low passengers as a Union Pacific mo-
tor train dropped through a bridge
near here and upended in Fancy
creek, sixty-five persons fought for
their lives as the waters of the stream
submerged the passenger car.
Ten bodies have been recovered
and estimates of total casualties were
placed at sixteen dead and more than
two score injured. Only four escaped
unhurt.
Most Of the dead, it was believed,
were drowned, although several Of
the recovered bodies gave evidence
that death had been outright when the
train struck the bridge abutment,
weakened by a three-inch rain Friday
night, and crashed through it.

To Create Continental Army Of
100000 Troops.
PRESIDENT WILSON APPROVES
First Years Naval Program Providea
for Wide Action-MiIitary
Plans Extensive.

Washington, Oct. :16.-The admin.
1stration program for national defense,
to be recommended to the forthcom-
Ing session Of congress, proposing a
total expenditure on the army and
navy next year Of about $500, 600, 900,
is practically completed.
Secretary Garrison's plan, approved
by the president, calls for an increase
of $3.50 900 in the a departments
annual appropriation to be authorized
Tor a~ugmenting the regular army to
100000 men and the creation of a new
continental army of 100000 men,
which together with the militia OF
l25, 200, would give the United States
a military force in time of need of
G65 900.
After the conference between Sec.
rotary Daniels, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and the general board,
which adjourned at midnight, it be.
came known that the following naval
construction for the first of the five
years, had been decided upon.
Two ~dreadnoughts, two battle cruis.
ers, twenty-five coast submarines, five
sea-golng submarines. twelve destroy.
ers, an increase of 5000 in personnel
and an augmentation by $50 Of the
naval academy student body.
Personnel of Continental Army.
There are many hundreds of thou
sands Of young men, it is said, who
have both the time and inclination to
devote at least w months a year to
rigid and intensive military training
and the continental army would be
composed of these, leaving to the ma
tional guard those citizens whose re-
sponsibilities prevent their devoting
more than n night a week or so to
military service.
For the continental army, the plan
contemplates drawing from the nation
al guard and from educational institu-
tons where military training is COM
pulsory at least 1000 officers a year
for each of the first two years.
Eventually, it is hoped that all mil
itary schools in the country can be
standardized as to their courses in
engineering and other military scien-
ces. These courses would become a
speciality, it is believed, if a given
number Of ranking graduates each
year were assured of commissions in
the continental army.
The ~six-year enlistment contract
would bind him to answer any call to
the colors regardless of any personal
affairs with which it might interfere.
While under training, the men Of
the continental army would receive
the regular army pay.

NOTABLES CHARGED
WITH CONSPIRACY

Papers in a suit for 1925, 900 dam
ages, begun by Grant S. Youmans OF
Minot as a sequel to closing of YOU
mans bank, in October, 1918, were
served on a group Of Minot defend
ants and on Governor l.. B. Hanna.
Secretary of State Thomas Hall, for
mer Attorney General Andrew Miller
and former State Bank Examiner S. G.
Severtson, all co-defendans in the &C.
ton.
Conspiracy to wreck the bank is al
legged by Youmans.
James Johnson, C. Rasmussen and
Robert Barron, who are interested in
the Second National Bank of Minot,'
and D. c.. Greenleaf and G. A. MCGEE,
attorneys, are the Minot defendants.
Youmans asks 500, 900 damages for
alleged defamation of character, $780,,
900 for loss of business, $50, 900 for be-
ing made the victim of the alleged
conspiracy and the return of $4,000
which he says he paid to a local bank
in settlement of his affairs.
The Savings Deposit Bank of Minot
was closed after an investigation by
the state bank examiner, and on the
order of the state banking board.
1t was charged by the banking
board that the bank had not been
conducted regularly: that much of its
paper was unsound.
Youmans' charges against the state
banking, board and the other defend
ants were investigated by the legisIa-
ture last winter
That body cleared the state officials,
holding they had acted within their
authority and that there was no evil
dence of fraud or conspiracy.

In BURNING STRAW STACK
Bodies of Two Murdered Men Are
Discovered.

O~ISCOV6TcO.
The bodies of two unidentified men,
the heads Of both crushed as if. by a
blow from some heavy instrument
we're found in a burning straw stack
near Rugby.
The features of both victims had
been scared by the flames so that
they were undistinguishable and no
identifying papers were found on
either.
A pocketbook containing $4.6S was
found on one of them, however, which,
the authorities think, indicates that
robbery was not the motive for the
murder.
The straw stack was located one
mile west Of Rugby, near the rail.
road tracks. 1t is thought the men
were killed by blows from coupling
