MANY PROGRESSIVE CITIES ARE
ADOPTING OFFICIAL FLAG FOR
d.. PUBLIC OCCASIONS-SHOULD
BE OF PLAIN DESIGN.

The gradual adoption of municipal
flags by American cities is one Of the
EXPRESSIONS of a growing civic spirit.
The municipal flag has sprung into use
through the need for appropriate and
uniform decorations of streets ana
buildings on public ceremonial occas-
ions. It has been usually adopted at
that period in the city's history when
municipal life has assumed something
of triumphal aspect.
Between thirty and forty American
cities are listed as possessing munlcl,,
pal flags. The flag is usually, adopted
after competitive contest in which
local people use their best efforts to
design something that will be approp--
rate, and that can be used during all
the years as an official flag.
Minot is not too small to begin
thinking of such things as munich
nal flag, and it seems that this year
would be an opportune time to adopt
it. remnants are all right for interior
use, but they will hardly stand the
stress of the changes of weather like

explanation and easy to manufacture.
One of the principal criticisms Of the
North Dakota state flag is its intricate
design, the cost of manufacturing
them being quite an unnecessary item.
There should be some club or promi-
nent man who would volunteer to Of
fer suitable prize for the design OF
a flag for Minot, and there should be
a great interest aroused. Let Minot
have an official flag.

WASHINGTON HEARS
 GREAT DRIVE IS
 JUST BEGINNING
Allied Embassies Think the Present Offensive in Europe Is Merely
 Preliminary
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. August 13.-(Special.) )--Ac- cordng to information reaching the vari- ous embassies in Washington, the great drive of the allies has not as yet been undertaken.
 The present offensive" according to the information. is merely an extensive feeler."D and the real aggressive" will not be begun before next spring.
 The understanding is that the allied na- tions have thus informed their local rep- resentatives in order that Wall street may be given an animation that further assistance in the form of ammunition and money would be necessary.
 It is tentatively admitted that the al- lies believe that through delay they will profit and Germany will continually grow
 weaker. It is contended that the lack of copper in Germany has forced the Ger mans to bind their shells with steel, and that as result, German guns can en- dure the pressure only third as long as the guns of the allies.
 The news is to the effect that Russia intoxicated by it's recent triumphs. is anxious to continue the aggressive despite the fact that France and England is urging the Czar to go into winter quar- ters and await the coming of another spring before striking the vital blow.

TRAINMEN REJECT
 ANY ARBITRATION OF DIFFERENCES President Sends Message by Tumulty for Personal Conference With Heads BOTH SIDES ANSWER
 AT ONCE BY GOING Outcome of Meeting at Capital Will Tell Story of Whether Railroads
 Are to Be Tied Up Causing
 Tremendous Loss

New York, August 13.-A general the nation, paraIyzing commerce and throwing approximately 2,0OO.OOO men out of employment, can be averted only through the good offices of Pres ident Wilson as n result of today's developments in the dispute over the mems demands for an eight-hour day and time and n half for overtime. The controversy wns laid before the Pres- ident at his invitation, after the work bitration. They refused mediation yes- terday.
 Soon after accepting the Presidents summons, extended through the federal board of mediation and conciliation, the men announced that the leaders of the four railroad brotherhoods would leave for Washington at midnight, accompanied by 30 of the 600 delegates assembled here. An hour later the railroad managers. 19 in number, said that they would leave for the capital at the same time.
 Both parties will reach Washington to- morrow in time for an early conference with the President. The hour for the meeting will be arranged by Secretary Tumulty. who started for this city from Washington late today as MT. Wilson's representative, arriving here at o'clock tonight.
 HUMILITY BROUGHT MESSAGE
 MT. Tumulty brought with him a com munication from President Wilson ad- dressed to the brotherhoods and the rail- road managers pointing out that such a paralysis of business as would follow a general railroad strike would be a catas- trophe at any time, but would be nothing short of a disaster under present condi- tions. On this ground the President based his request for a conference with repre- sentatives of both factions before strike order is issued by the leaders of the men.
 Negotiations had not been broken off when Mr. Tumulty left Washington. but when he reached Philadelphia he received a telegram from W. L. Chambers one of the mediators, informing him the men had declined to arbitrate. MT. Tumulty's first step after reaching New York was to call President Wilson on the long dis tance to decide upon an hour for the conference at the White House tomor- row.
 The final break came late today after the men had been in secret session near ly six hours. Reports differ as to tho reason for the failure of the negotia- tions in view of the cheerful outlook of the night before. The men assert they refused arbitration because the railroads insisted on arbitrating their contingent proposition" The board of mediators, in a. statement issued tonight, declared, however, the men rejected their proposi- tion, contending that they would not ar bitrate even if the railroads waived the contingent proposition.
 The statement of the mediators, issued by Judge Martin A. Knapp, chairman or

Columbus, Miss, August 1S.-(Spe- cial. )-Mrs Emma Dowdle. 35 years of age, was almost instantly killed and her husband, R. Howard Dowdle. was painfully bruised in forehead in a horrible accident which occurred at Beersheeba crossing on the Mobile and Ohio railroad about eight miles east of Columbus at 10:2o o'clock this morn ing when a buggy in which they were riding was struck by passenger train No. 106, due here at 10;30.
 The railroad crossing. where the acci- dent occurred. is on a high grade and only short distance from a curve, and neither MT. Dowdle nor his wife knew the train was approaching. Mrs. Dowdle, realizing that her life was in danger, leaped from the buggy and fell beneath the engine. Both of her legs were severed and practically every bone in her body was crushed. Her husband remained in the carriage. which was thrown of the track. Besides several bruises, he received two cut places on his face.
