FIGHT BEGINS OVER
REVENUE BILL
Democrats Want an Emergency
Fund in Excess Of $780,.
100000.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Sim
mons, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, submitting figures designed
to disprove Republican charges Of ex-
travagance, and Senator Smoot, Re-
publican finance expert, asserting that
the Democratic party should be con-
victed of attempting to procure votes
under false pretenses, general de-
bate on the $2O5, 100000 emergency
revenue bill began today in the sen.
ate.
Insisting that national defense pre-
paredness and the Mexican situation
were altogether responsible for the
necessity of special revenue legisla-
ton and a proposed bond issue, Sen
ator Simmons declared that Republi-
cans in congress had even clamored
for greater expenditures for defense
and, having done this, were seeking
partisan advantages by making false
charges of Democratic extravaganza
to the public.
Senator Smoot, opening the assault
on the revenue bill, said if the Dem
ocratic party were to be retained in
control of the government the country
would suffer an era of unqualified
extravaganza combined with ineffi-
cheney unsurpassed"

Hogs Highest
Since Civil
War Prices

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Hoss sold
for $11.30 a hundredweight at the
Union Stock Yards today, the
highest price in the history Of the
market since the Civil war. Deal
ers predict an advance to $500
per hundredwei9ht in September.
A further advance was noted in
the price Of beans. A year ago
beans cost the housewives Sc a
pound. The retail price now 10
tic pound. The demand for
beans for European armies and
for United States troops along
the border are said to be the prin-
cipal causes for the advance in
price.
At East st. Louis, Pittsburg,
and Indianapolis yards, hogs also
sold at $11.30, highest record
prices for those markets.

DICKINSON PIONEER
DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Dickinson, Aug. 22.-George Auld,
who settled in Dickinson back in

Sawtelle, California, on Thursday of

New York, Aug. 22.-Sentiment in
Denmark is strongly against the sale
of the Danish West Indies to the
United States, according to Count
Frederick Holtky, a captain in the
Danish army, who arrived here today,
aboard the Scandinavian American
liner, Hellwig Olaf. Count Moltky is
on his way to Washington, where he
will join the Danish legation as di-
rector of army contracts.
Sentiment in Denmark does not
favor the sale of the Danish West
Indies,' the count declared.
1T is not a matter of price, but a
feeling Of sentiment among the peo'
pie that has caused such strong op-
position to the SALE" ..
iMarius l. Myeboe, prominent
ship owner of Denmark, and a we'll

that the sentiment in Denmark is to

RAIL HEADS STAND PAT FOR ARBITRATION
Ambulance
FundB0osfed
Nearly $50

It is likely that within the next
week or two the fund to purchase an
ambulance for the First North Dako
ia regiment will be closed. All towns
which have subscriptions and indi
viduals who have not subscribed are
urged to send their contributions eth
er to Major Steedman. p. H. Dumme1
or the Tribune. A complete report
of the fund will be given when all
points have been heard from.
w. J. Prater, custodian of the funds
raised by the game between the Fats
and the Leans last week, reported yes
terday that the total receipts wer
$5S.25. There was $40 expense which
left $4S.25 net for the fund.
Major Patterson and DR.. T. M. Nc
Lachlan are anxious for the motor
equipment to replace the out-of-date
conveyance now in use.
If you or your town has not contrib
uted to the First regiment, show your
appreciation of the sacrifice the boys
are making and send in something
1t is not the amount, but the spirit
in which the donation is made.
The new ambulance will be the
property Of the First regiment and
not the federal government. When
the troops are ordered home, the am
bulance will be shipped back to this
state and used in the summer train
ing camps or when the North Dakota
boys are called to the colors again.

COMPANY A
WEk7HERS STORM
LIKE YACHT
Not One Tent Goes Down In the
Terrific Storm of Last
Week.
COMPANIES TO SEE
BORDER PATROL DUTY
BY Ewing Lewis.

Mercedes, Tex, Aug. 22.-One Of
the heaviest hurricanes which has
ever swept Texas went over the back
of the first North Dakota regiment
last Friday and Saturday like water
off ducks back. Company A of Bis
marck rode the storm like yatch.
Not tent went down. But it was an
exciting afternoon and night and as
the 35-mile wind chased the rain over
the chapparal and telegraph wires
went down with the flash-(wind get
ting stronger here). 1t kept every
man busy renewing tent stakes and
fixing ropes. The admirable engineer
ing work of the regiment was shown
in the way the field drained during the
torrent. The rain poured from the
middle of the morning until after
midnight. At noon the next day you
could have shot game Of billiards
on the Bismarck company street.
Masons of the North Dakota regi.
ment were made welcome few
nights ago by the lodge at Mercedes.
Capt. A. B. Welch attended. He met
Major Noble of the Second Indiana,
who directed the engineering work of
the big Llano Grande camp, three
miles from the Dakotans. Major Noble
praised the way the western regiment
had established its camp.
1t is likely that one or two compan.
les of the regiment will soon be as
signed to border patrol work. That
the war department does not intend
to keep the guards in training camp
very long before giving them real
patrol work is shown by the order
just received to send two companies
of Indiana soldiers and one Minnesota
unit to five pumping stations on the
Rio Grade, all within 25 miles of Mer-
cedes. The Minnesota men will be
placed at Progresso, where the Mer-
cedes pumping station is located. The
North Dakota regiment visited this
point on hike two days ago.
The men were on a 14-mile hike
when the hurricane started and did
half-dozen miles through deep inky
mud (the Texans call it "gumbo'')
and sheets Of rain blown along by
35-mile wind. The men arrived in
camp soaked, but grinning. There
were no drills the afternoon Of the
storm. Sentries were allowed to stay
in the guard tent and the elements
guarded the camp from Mexicans.

Seven Nations Battle on This
Front of the Balkan
Zone.
PARIS CLAIMS
(. ". GAINS IN CENTER
Little Change Is Reported on the
Various Western @
-. Fronts.

London, Aug. 22.-Both allied wings
on the Saloniki front, where the SOL
diers of at least seven nations are in
battle, have been sent back by the
Bulgarians. In the center, however,
where the Allies attack is being made
at the entrance to the Strait Vardar
Vale, Paris reports important gains.
Nothing is said about the Russian or
Italian share in the fighting, and no
information has been given as to their
strength. The Serbians apparently
have been the heaviest losers, and
have been forced back on their ex'
treme left about five miles from the
Serbian-Greek frontier. They claim,
however, continued progress on the
other section of their front.
Forced Back.
On the Allies right, the British and
French who had crossed the Struma,
toward the Bulgarian frontier, have
been forced back on the river.
On the western front, there has
been little change. The British con
tinue their efforts to surround Thiep
val, and report the capture of 100
yards of German trenches in the di
rection of Martimpuicb. There has
been no action of Importance on the
French section.
For several days, meagre Russian
reports have insisted that nothing OF
importance has occurred in the east
Berlin, however, describes very heavy
fighting both on the Stokhod and ir

Pressing Offensive.
An interesting feature of the Rus
sian official statement is the intima
tion that the Grand Duke Nicholas
again is pressing his offensive in the
Caucasus. For the last two days, Pet
rograd has emphasized the fighting
around Diarbekr, but no important
change has occurred.
London claims heavy blow agains
Germany on the sea. The British sub
marine E-23 reports having attacked
an 1S,600 ton German battleship, ant
the submarines commander believes
he sank it.
There is no news from the Italia1
front, where a lull has existed fol
several days.

Rye Hits a
High Mark
at Duluth

Duluth, Minn., Aug. 22.-Rye
sold at $1.20 per busheI, the high
est price ever recorded for It on
the Duluth Board Of Trade, today.
The market has been strong in
the cereal for some time, due to
light stocks being carried over
the country and urgent call for It.
The advance is expected to prove
a boon to farmers Of the Ameri-
can Northwest, who have been
going into the raising Of this
grain quite extensively Of late
years. The highest previous price
for rye was $1.17, recorded in
February, last year.

GREAT ARGUMENT.-One of the
Tribune writers interviewing Ford
said that Ford's opinions are the
same as those expressed by Chicago
street speakers or by the speakers at
the Chicago Federation of Labor
meetings. Truly great argument!
For, pray, hasn't the corner down on
Dearborn St, where the Trib is pub
lished, obtained a monopoly on all So
cial, political, diplomatic and mill
tary wisdom? There, like upon old
Mt. Sinai of yore, divine truth and

UNFAIR NEWS ATTACKS.-In
an editorial which appeared in The
Daily News, headed Teachers as
Trade Unionists, a number of asser-
tons were made without evidence or
argument.
There is an offense against fair
ness in these frequent attacks upon
the federated teachers, their methods
and motives. The unfairness con-
sists in the printing of editorials and
interviews which decry the teachers,
while denying them similar publicity
in answer. Whether this is a legal
right of a newspaper is not the ques-
ton l would raise That it is an I'M
fair use of a great power can be safe
ly asserted.
1t is not fair play nor human hon
esty. It misleads that public opin-
ion upon which the teachers must
finally rely. 1t is not even wise policy
because, when the facts emerge, as
they must, from the fog, which a
part of the press has raised, the pub
lie will recent the fog and distrUst
the papers which are the instruments
in raising it.
Forty years ago 81 saw it in the
paper" established a statement as
fact. Now the reaction is different.
The people will not decide against
the teachers until they know facts
which will justify such a decision.
They certainly have a right to hear

MARRY HER. = In reference to
Pat Sullivan, in "The Confessions Of

woman who had the misfortune Of
Alice. Man INDUCES in most every
thing before marriage, then expects
the gods to give him a pure woman
in return for his misdeeds.
If woman would demand as much
from man in the way of virtue as he
does, the marriage markets would be
put out of business.-M. J. D.

DOUGLAS, Sept. 13.-The failure of Mess Sergeant Rogers. H Company and Private Frank E. MacKay, Com pany k, Second Montana Infantry, to return to the regimental camp today coupled with indefinite rumors that they had been killed by Mexican sol diers while in Sonora, caused intense excitement in the Montana camp, two miles west of Douglas, tonight. Off cers and men, from Colonel Donohue to the privates, used every effort o find some trace of the men and their movements.
 MacKay enlisted in Saco, Montana and Rogers in Kalispell Private O'Brien, Company H, brought the first report of the mems disappear ance and probable violent end to the camp early today. A quiet investiga tion was conducted by regimental of ticers until late in the day when the news leaked out.
 O'Brien said tonight that he, Mac Kay and Rogers were to have gone with a Mexican half breed to see an old placer mine which the Mexican claimed contained very rich ground but he was personally prevented from accompanying the party by military duties. The two soldiers. dressed in civilian clothing and the Mexican went out of Douglas late Tuesday afternoon to the placer ground al Ranchro, twenty miles south and west of here.
 Investigation tonight indicated that the mems absence was probably due to the fact that they had been taken prisoners by Carranza soldiers near Anavacachi Pass. fifteen miles west of Agua Prieta. but nothing could be learned definitely.

BERLIN, Sept 13.-(Via London)- The American ambassador, James w. Gerard, again is under fire in a sec tion of the German press, this time for a remark attributed to him regard ing a speech made recently by Dr. Gustav Strashemann, national liberal member of the Reischstag, advocating among other things a resumption of the submarine warfare.
 Ambassador Gerard is quoted as saying that he did not understand how the representatives of districts for which export to America was a vital question could advocate ruthless sea warfare.
 The national liberal press agency in communication to the newspapers takes the ambassador to task for what is termed "unwarranted intervention in purely German question" and
