ton. A bill now pending befure the
state legislature gives an excellent
chance for division of the county at
this time. j. A. Shea is chairman.
H. D. Smalley secretary, and Adolph
Schwartzrock treasurer or the new
division committee. A committee
to solicit for the war chest has been
named and the matter will be pushed
from now or in dead earnest. Otter
Tail is one of the large and populous
counties of the state and there are
several very good reasons why the ter
ritory should be divided. Fergus Falls
is the county seat far from the center
of population or the geographical
center.
According 10 the reports from the
secretary of state there are a, 1000
unlicensed automobiles in the state
and the owners are liable to prosecu-
tion. Last year there were $1,000
licenses issued. Less than 27.O of
the new series had been listed up till
last Saturday night. An lnvestiga-
ton will be started in few days to
ascertain those who have not taken
out a license for this year. Pending
legislation would raise the automobile
license from $3.50 to SIS, and the
dealers license from $3.50 to $40.
Cyrus citizens have raised fund of

vance of the payment. 800 sacks of
flour were forwarded and last week
Cyrus made good its pledge for sup
port.
Browns Valley Tribune: Just at
present Browns Valley is in bad shape
for fighting fire. There is big leak
som where in the water mains, and the
tank cannot be kept filled, no mat
ter how much pumping is done. The
supply of water from the springs is
entirely adequate. 1t is feared the
leak cannot be found until the ground
thaws out. In the meantime extra
precautions should be taken by every
body to prevent fire.

and does away with much unnecessary
work fer the agent.
In the past it has been necessary
for all passengers desiring to ride on
freight trains to secure written per-
mission from the station agent. even
if the passenger possessed mileage or
ticket. This requirement was gen.
eral on all lines in Minnesota up till
about two years ago when the 500
and Milwaukee cut it out. The Great
Northern was the only road in the
state during the past year which held
to the plan which has always caused
much trouble for the agent and pas
senger alike.

month when the new rates are effec-

must be honored at the stipulated fig

last week decided to test the matter
in the courts. 1t is possible, however,
they will follow the advise of the

VIENNA IS READY
TO RECALL DUMBA
American Notice That Leave of
Absence Will Not Do
Brings Results.

DR.. Constantin T. Dumba, Austro.
Hungarian ambassador to the United
States. will be formally recalled by his
government. according to informal in
formation received by Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna. The formal action
to be taken in response to President
Wilson's request will follow as soon as
notes can be prepared.
No comment on the situation could
be obtained from State Department Of
ficials tojay pending the final arrange
ments, including the guarantee of safe
conduct which will be given to DR.
Dumba.
However. it is gratifying to this gov
ernment in great degree that there has
been no friction following the Presi-
dents instructions to Ambassador Pen
field to tell the Vienna government that
Washington. For several days it was
believed in many quarters that the
Austrian government would stand on
DR.. Dumba's request for leave of alb
sence, leaving the Unitel States in the
position of having a diplomat pre-
soma non grata" accr.sdited to Wash
ington, although not actually here.
It was the firm announcement by this
government that 1t could not brook a
situation of this kind that drew forth
from Vienna the informal statement
that DR.. Dumba would be actually re-
called.
Mr. Penfield was assured that the
wishes of the United States would be
complied with and that a formal note
on the subject would be handed to
him soon. Until the formal expression
is in the hands of State Department
officials they cannot act upon the am
ba ssador's request for safe conduct

President Wilson this morning
signed an executive order giving

partments and bureaus on We'd
nesday, the day OF the G.. A. r.
parade, an unusual tribute to the
men who assembled in Washing

has a President issued an execu-
tive order shutting down the ma
chinery Of the government for a
similar occasion. The executive
order will be communicated to
the heads of departments in suffi-
cient time to permit the closing.
The White House grounds today were
full of visitors, including large num-
bers Of veterans in uniform.
The building has been closed for some
time pending renovations for the coming
winter season. but the President today
ordered 1t reopened SO that all visitors
to the National Capital might have a
chance to see the residence of their chief
executive.

this morning and the thrcngs Of peo-
nile on the streets attracted his atten-
ton.
tomorrow He will leave early to-
morrow morning for Princeton to cast
his vote in the primaries in that state
for legislators and local offices gen.
orally. Secretary Tumulty will ac-
company him and vote in Jersey City.
October 19 the state will vote upon an
amendment to the constitution permit
ting woman suffrage. The President
has indicated that advocates of woman
suffrage will at that time know how
he feels on the subject. He has in
formed delegations of suffragists who
have visited him since he has been in
the White House that he considers
woman suffrage a matter for the in
dividual states and not one for the
Union 1t is generally believed that
he will vote for the amendment, al
though he will write no letters and
make no speeches.

Baldwin Locomotive Most Prominent

NEW YORK, September 27.-War

panies participating in contracts with
the allies scared to new heights in to-
days uprush of prices. The move
messed since the outbreak of the wal
Latest developments in the western the
ater of war constituted one of the
strong factors of the rise. Baldwin
Locomotive was the most prominent
feature, advancing in the first hour to
1861, a gain of II points over Satur-
day, and new record.
The demand for this stock was at
tended by rumors that the company is
to be absorbed by one of the larger in
dustrial corporations whose war con-
tracts have tested it's capacity beyond
limit.
Other specialties making high rec
ords included Crucible Steel. up 7A to
1903; Republic Iron and Steel. 5a to
533s; General Motors, 10k to 1856, and
Lackawanna Steel, l to so.
Other Advances Recorded.
Distillers' Securities and United
States Industrial Alcohol. whose prod
ucts are said to enter largely into the
manufacture Of explosives, also rose
appreciably, with minor advances in
former speculative favorites.
United States Steel. whose foreign
business Is said to show an enormous
increase by reason OF the European
conflict rose IN to 791a, its highest
price since 1912.
Railroads gave promise at the outset
of assuming a place Of Importance. but
failed to keep pace with the demand
for industrials and equipments, al
though showing a strong undertone.
Trading in the first hour reached the
total of 100000 shares. the largest
volume of business recorded since the
reopening of the exchange last Decem-
ber, and seldom, if ever, exceeded in
recent years.
Nearly 100000 Shares Sold.
Sales up to 1880. when the session
had run half it's course. were estimated
at $1,000 shares, showing only a slight
reduction of the first hours activity.
Baldwin Locomotive extended its rise
to 114a. a gain of 1914 from last Sat
urdays price, and other specialties of
the War class were rushed to higher
prices. Bethlehem Steel made the new
record of 366. gain of ten points.

Twenty Minutes Sufficient

ports from the front say that only
twenty minutes was required for the
French infantry to complete the vic
tory prepared for by sixty hours Of
violent shelling and overrun the frat

Perthes. in Champagne. While await
ing the moment for the attack the
French soldiers rested behind their
lines, joking and putting their arms
in perfect order.
The bright glow from the slow-burn-
ing illuminating rockets and the glare
of exploding projectiles lighted UP the
entire zone of action during two nighta.
Germans Dazed by Attack.
After a few hours of intense fire our
hopes that our batteries were dominat-
ing the situation were transformed to

ficer who took part in the battle. Tho
moment for the attack was set for
dawn. When the charge was sounded
whole battalions. reinforced by re-
serves bounded forward. The rush was
so precipitate that the Germans still
alive and unwounded in the battered
works seemed dazed and unable to re-
sist They were disarmed and pushed
back for our reserves to pick up. while
the attacking line went on. There was
little or no musketry. The bayonet
did most of the work.
THE proportion OF dead to wouudo1
and prisoners was large. What was left
of entire companies threw up their
hands at the sight Of the deadly exc.
cution by the Zouaves.''
The general impression of wounded
men brought from the field is that the
affair of Eerthes is only a beginning OF
the French effort.
