The French report issued later ad-

against that position.
Continuous DueIs.
Aside from these events, the armies
in tne west have been engaged in al
most continuous artillery duels, bomb
throwing and air raids.
In the east there is little change in
the situation. The two Russian sue
cesses on the Perritt river, m Galicia,
while they made big capture Of men
and guns, have not interrerec with the

the Germans from the south Of the

MEMBER Of L.W.W.
CONFESSES GUILT
Says He Shot Oakes Brakes
man in Self De-
Tense

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 10.-Jim
Schmidt, member Of the |. w. W. local
No. 400, Kansas City, Mo-, was arrest
ed near James, S. D. for the murder
of Ross Farrar Of Oakes, N. d., a
brakeman on the Northwestern road.
Schmidt admitted his guilt but claims
he shot in self defense, as Farrar shot
once at him and was levelling his gun
for a second shot when Schmidt fired.
Two empty chambers in Farrars gun
and testimony of witnesses who claim
they heard three shots fired, partially
substantiates Schmidt's story. He es-
caped the searching posses last eve
ming by hiding in a hay stack and
starting in the direction of James
this morning. He stopped at farm
house for supper, where his actions
aroused suspicion, his arrest following.

In 1909 the United States requested
the recall of f. J. Jackson, the Brit

charged that the United States in ac-

the latter had no authority to make
the agreement and that the United
States would not therefore be able to
bind Great Britain thereby.
In agreeing to his recall the British
foreign office announced that his

When it seemed that Great Britain
was going to leave the affairs OF its

appointment of a new British minis

North DQkOtQ'S
Unique Hotel

AS far as we can learn there is
only one hotel in North Dakota that
doesn't love the ladies. The hotel
with this unique distinction is "The
Stone Hotel' of Linton. A sample OF
the hotel stationery recently found its
way into the Tribune office, and blaz-
ened across the top of the page was
the "For Gentlemen Only" sign.
The following advice for guests
was also conspicuously printed on the
sheet: eff you're Dam Fool, Keep
Your Mouth Shut and Nobody Will
Find It Out"
AS the man from Battle Creek said.
There's Reason" and thereby

AMERICAN CITIZEN
Secretary Lansing Makes De-
mand Upon Villa for His
Surrender

Washington, Sept. 10.-State and
war department off icials were aroused
today over the kidnapping of an
American citizen by Mexican bandits
at Columbus, New Mexico. John
ranchman, was seized
by a band of Mexicans, said to be
soldiers, carried across the border
from Columbus and word sent back
that he was being held for a $4,000
ransom.
-. Secretary Lansing sent representa-.
tions to General Villa demanding that
the ranchman be released. COLUMBUS
borders on the State of Chihuahua
which is under Villa control. The
administration has reports indicating
that General Villa is losing control of
some Of his forces in northern Mexica
and that many of the soldiers have
broken away from their command and
organized into belligerent bands and
menacing conditions along the border
It was stated at the war department
tonight that no orders had been sent
to American commanders on the bor-
der. There was, however, an intima-
ton that the United States forces
would not hesitate TO cross the border
to rescue the kidnapped American, if
his whereabouts could be ascertained

Washington, Sept. 10.-The time

ENTENTE POWERS

New York, Sept. 1C-The Anglo
French commission, seeking way TO
meet the huge bills of Great Britail
and France for American munitions
and supplies, reached New York to-
day, was welcomed by j. p, Morgan
and me. approximately 100 prominent
bankers and insurance heads and lead,
ers in other lines of finance late this
afternoon, at reception in Mr. Nor
gans library. Tonight the conrnis-
sioners were guests OF New York
financiers.
Actual negotiations as to the credit
they hope to establish here were not
begun and will not be for several
days. During this period, the com
mission expects ITO meet many other
bankers and exporters and to become
familiar with the situation. With
these preliminaries disposed Of, the
commission will start on the actual
details of the proposed loan.
Fer publication the commission
confined its comment to statement
issued upon It's arrival here on the
steamship, Lapland. This statement
detailed the personnel OF the Dody
and recited it's purpose.
Act For Entente Powers.
Although the commission comes as
the representative CT the British and
French governments and importers o
both nations, it seems likely tonight
that it might before it's departure be
called upCn to adjust the whole for
eign cxcIange situation for all the
Entente Pow ers. TO the previous re
ports that the delegation probably
would act fo.' Russia, there was added
tonight the intinlation on good author
ity that Italy might within a few days
find it expedient to request the ccm'
mission TO act for it's government az
well Five hundred million dollars is
the smallest sum the commission
hopes to borrow They would much
rather have around a billion. Tie en-
tire proceeds, of course, would be useG
in paying for American supplies.

Unofficial reports that second note

about the only basis of optimism in
official quarters, so far as the subnar-

Won Papen Involved.
Captain Won Papen is involved in
the Dumba case because he forward
ed to James F. ]. Archibald, the Amer
ican correspondent travelling under
an American passport, a personal let
ter, in which he made offensive state
ments about American officials. More
over, the ambassadors letter to the
foreign office found on Archibald men
toned Won Papen as having approved
what the state department, in it's note
to the AustriaIEbungaria government,
characterized as conspiracy to Grip
pie the legitimate industry of the
United States. Counsul General Nu-
ber is drawn into the case because
the Dumba letter disclosed that he
was connected with his strike plan.
High officials indicated that the gov
ernment would take steps of some
kind against the editor Of Hungarian
newspaper in this country, from whom
Ct llCulul duuulll was CuNlOoCu III SHO
Dumba letter outlining carefully pre-
pared plans for putting into effect the
scheme for handicapping munition
plants.
Where Bernstorff Comes In.
Count Won Bernstortf is involved
technically because Archibald carried
a letter from him, but as it was a
copy of a statement previously made
by the ambassador to Secretary Lam
sing, wholly of an inocuous character,
officials do not regard the German am
massador's status in the affair as ap-
preaching that of his military attache
or the Austrian counsul general.
1t is quite probable that until the
Vienna foreign office replies to the re-
quest for the withdrawal of DR.. Dumba
nothing further would be done in his
case, or in the case Of ION Papen. II
the receipt of documentary evidence
bears out the information now in the.
hands OF tho state department.. officials
would not be surprised TO- see both
withdrawn by their home govern
ments, Or as a final resource dismissed
from the country.
