A Thorn in the Flesh

Carranza is undoubtedly the most difficult indvid- ual 10 deal with who operated as a thorn in the side of peace-loving administration. So much must be conceded in fairness President Wilson but it must not be forgotten that Carranza was the presl- dents personal choice for ruler of Mexico and the president cannot escape responsibility having so suspicious and obstinate a character with whom to negotiate of peace.
 A ccording to the correspondent of the New York World Carranza is demanding, through his represent atves on the joint commission. first the withdrawal of American troops from Mexican soil second divided responsibility for the protection of the border against Villa and other bandits; third, the support Of the United States government in securing loans; fourth the of the United States to a system of export taxation minerals.
 The last named proposition Is aimed the Amer ican owners Of Mexican mines and is of things in regard to which Carranza appears to be most ten acious The scheme for joint responsibility for con- trol of the border is undoubtedly the pur pose of enabling Carranza escape responsibility in case of further outrages. Apparently the American government is more disposed concede the demand for the withdrawal of troops any of the other points raised.

CONSTANT
WORK IS
SURPRISE
Russian Offensive Never
Rests, and Therein Lies
It's Tremendous Effect

Petrograd via London, Aug. %. -
The feature of the fighting in the Rus
sian campaign, which broke out like a
tempest on the southwestern front
more than two and a half months ago
Is OF an almost continuous nature.
Except for brief interludes for con-
soltdating positions or changing the
direction Of attack it has been like one
great sustained battle. Periods like
the present, described as "lulls', US
ually have turned out to be crowded
with intense fighting, whose details it
has been the consistent policy of the
Russian staff to hold secret until the
operations are ended.
1t is impossible to say whether the
Russian attack on Kovel from the
Stokhod region continues with it's orig
inal energy, but the belief seems to
prevail here that the discovery of q
series of strong German fortifications
protecting Kovel from the east led the
Russian staff to base it's hopes on TAX
ing the city by Strong flank attacks,
which now are developing. This is
considered to account for the desperate
German attacks in the region of Lake
Nobel, where the Teutons are trying
to prevent the Russian occupation Of
the marshy land south Of the Stokhod
which would constitute a serious men
ace to the German left flank whose
base is Kovel, and would prove a val
liable vantage point to General Kale-
dimes in the pressure he is exerting
from the south.
The strengthening Of the Austrian
forces in the Carpathians has checked
momentarily the Russian movement in
this direction, but the Russians are
declared to have been able to hold all
the positions recently won.

SUCCESS
IN TEXAS
Republican Committee Sees
Chance for G.. o. P. in
That State

Chicago, Aug. 22.-H. G. MacGregor
Republican national committeeman
from Texas, told those in charge of the
western Republican national cam
paign headquarters today that he be-
lieved there was possibility OF
Hughes and Fairbanks carrying Texas
in November.
There is no question but that the
sentiment among the voters Of Texas
is opposed to the administration OF
President Wilson," said Mr.. Mac
Gregor.
THE people Of Texas are especially
dissatisfied with the Democratic ad-
ministration because Of it's Mexican
policy. Mr.. Hughes statement of that
policy is regarded as being eminently
fair and correct. Living on the border
as we do the people of Texas have had
an opportunity to observe the actual
working out Of that policy.
THE sentiment among the Demo
cratic voters of the state was ex-
pressed in the recent primary vote or
candidates for senator when former
Governor Colquitt, who has vigorously
opposed President Wilson's Mexican
policy, was the highest man on the
ticket. This vote is regarded as sig.
nif1cant when it is remembered that
Texas has three members Of President
Wilson'S cabinet. Another significant
feature of the situation was that only
about 90 per cent Of the Democratic
vote was registered in the primary
Texas, of course, has always been a
rock-ribbed Democratic state and its
possible inclusion in the Republican
column seems almost incredible, but il
will be we'll for political observers tC
keep their eyes on Texas in this cam
paign." Il

Fred Wilson, whose failure to ap-
pear to meet Charles Crawford, Fargo,
in the finals for the state champion
ship here last Friday morning, at the
hour scheduled, the match being de-
clared forfeited to Mr.. Crawford, has
opened q rather sore subject by his
complaint to the St. Paul Tennis club.
H. H. Wooledge. referee of the tour
ney, backed by the executive commit
tee OF the North Dakota Tennis club,
today placed before the st. Paul club
full facts concerning the forfeiture-tn
light far from favorable to Mr.. Will

club with unfavorable publicity in a
letter received today.
That the match had been scheduled
for 80 o'clock, by agreement between
Crawford, Wilson and Wooledge; that
Wilson subsequently asked a delay
till 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, which
was not granted because Mr.. Craw-

HIGHER COST
AVOIDED HERE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-Despite
the fact that the cost of living has
gone up about 10 per cent since the
outbreak of the European war, the
cost of subsistence in the navy has
decreased three quarters Of cent per
man this year, as compared with the
fiscal year of 1914. A report passed
to Secretary Daniels today by Pay
master MCGOWAN states that a net
saving Of about 100000 is indicated
compared with the 1914 figure, or a
saving of close to half million dol
lars if the ten per cent increase in the
cost of food supplies is taken into
consideration.
The reduction has been effected, the
report says, by the elimination Of
proprietary articles, food substitutes
and other supplies which could .lot be
purchased in competition.
