American Ambassador
in Germany is Again
Under Fire in Press

Berlin, Sept. IA. The American
ambassador, James w. Gerard. again
is under fire in a section of the Ger
man press, this time for remark
attributed to him regarding a speech
made recently by DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann. national liberal member Of The
Reichstag, 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 vital
question could advocate ruthless SUBJ
marine warfare. The national Liberal
Press agency. in communication to
the newspaper, takes the ambassador
to task for what is termed ''unwarrant-
ed intervention In purely German
Question" and says that the ambassa-
doris remark is characterized by that
naive presumptuousness which be-
lieves that the decision affecting Ger
many's political future will be dictated
by Germany's American export inter
ests."
Ambassador Gerard denied en-
phatically that he had ever made the
statement attributed to him, saying
that he had not even heard of the
speech by Stresemann on which he is
supposed to have passed comment

Double Pay Day Is
Great Stuff For
Dakota Guardsmen

Mercedes, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE North
Dakota regiments luck has been the
envy of all brigades along this part
Of the border since their double pay
day. For the pay bugle to blow twice
on one day seems a fairy tale to a
soldier, but that is what happened in
the First North Dakota. Pay for a
portion of June was handed out in the
morning. Early in the afternoon the
bugle sounded again, and wages for
July were handed out.
Rain continues to fall daily and
the roads are as bad as roads can

SLIDE
GROWS
WORSE
West Bank of River North
of Dam Settled Another
Four Feet Last Night
ACTION TO Be TAKEN SOON
City Engineer Reports Steps
Will Have to be Taken
to Stop Action

City Engineer F. L. Anders reported
this morning at meeting of the city
commission that the slide of the west
bank Of the Red river along Fourth
street and just north of the dam in the
river is growing worse and that
something will have to be done to
put a stop to the motion Of the soil in
this locality, or in time portion Of the
Fourth street paving will be carried
into the stream.
Mr.. Anders investigated the sftua-
ton since the meeting of the commits
sion held yesterday, when the matter
was first reported, and stated that he
found that the water rushing over the
dam brings 1t with great force against
the west bank at the point where the
river swings east, north of the dam.
He says that the water has under
mined the bank down to the base clay
underlying the alluvial soil. and that
during the night the ground had set
tied four feet in some places.
The slide seems to begin at a point
on the bend in the river where the
current strikes and follows south par
allel to the street curbing, to a point
almost opposite the dam.
Mr.. Anders stated that he had not
figured out what the cost of stopping
the slide would be, but he said that
something would have to be done or
the paving on Fourth street would be
injured in time, If not absolutely car
ried into the street. He said that will
low mats and concrete could be put
in to stop the action.
The commissioners did not take any
action at the meeting this morning.

Fred bennett, Former r..
Dakotan, Sees Victory
For Candidate Hughes

Charles Hughes campaign for the
presidency is being favorably received
in the east, and the chances for his
election in November are very good,
declared Fred bennett, Washington,
D. c., formerly of Milton. N. D., and
former commissioner of the land office
department of the department of the
interior at Washington.
Mr.. Dennett arrived in Fargo last
evening, bound for the Pacific coast
on legal business, being engaged now
in the practice of law in Milton. He
formerly published The Milton Globe
at Milton, this state, going to Wash
ington years ago as private secretary
to Senator H. c. Hansbrough, and
later being appointed to the land of
flee commissionership, which he re-
linquished with the advent of the
Wilson administration.
What about politics? Well, Wash
ington Republicans, and Republicans
throughout the east, are sanguine of
success" responded Mr.. bennett, when
interviewed by a representative of
The Forum.
"The result in Maine is an even
more sweeping victory for the Re-
publicans than party leaders had
hoped for, as is clearly indicated by
reference to their predictions, just

Big FIGHT
COMINGI
ILLINOIS
Strenuous Campaign is Pre-
dicted Between Dunno and
Lowden for Governor
LORINER WAS DEFEATED
lanes r. Mann and Uncle
Joe Cannon Among Con-
gressmen Renominated

Chicago, Sept. 14.-It is predicted
today that one of the hardest fought
political campaigns in the history OF
Illinois will be waged between Gov
ernor Dunnne, Democrat, and former
Congressman Frank Lowden, Repub-
lican, nominated for goveror yesterday
by the Democrats and Republicans,
respectively. Both rolled up big
pluralities. j..
With Cook county complete and re-
turns from 1887 precinct out of 2.973
down state compiled, Lowden received
161,141. Hull is second with 91.7SS and
Frank Smith third. 64.640.
q. .335 down state precincts. Dunno
topped his nearest opponent by 50,-
600 votes. Former Senator William
Lorimer conceded his defeat for the
Republican nomination to congress
when the precincts upon which he had
counted failed to provide the expected
support.
Medill Mccormick. former Progress
sive. and former Senator William
Mason, were nominated by the Repub-
licans for congressman at large, the
returns indicate. Renominatad for
congress by the Republicans were:
James r. Mann. Republican house
leader, Uncle Joe Cannon. Martin B.
Madden, Fred A. Britton, George H.
Foss. Ira c. Copely. Charles e. Fuller,
John Mckenzie, Edward J. King. John

prior to the election. With Repub-
lican victory all down the line, where
as some concessions had been made
to the Democrats, the C. o. P. lead
ers are filled with new enthusiasm,
more confident than ever that the
Republican cause will succeed.
"The impression that Mr.. Hughes
is engaging in a campaign of criti-
cism only, is founded on a mistaken
nation. fostered by Mr.. Hughes op-
ponents," continued Mr.. bennett.
I'm his discussion of the tariff
issue, Mr.. Hughes has set forth very
clearly his point of view-and surely
that is a constructive ISSUE and of
paramount importance to the nation
now, and in the days following the
close Of the European war. Naturally,
arguing for changed policy, Mr..
Hughes must criticize the present
tariff policy.
Again, on the question Of efficiency
in government. Certainly Mr.. Hughes
has presented to the people clear cut
statement of constructive efficiency,
the adoption of which will be of
tremendous benefit to the nation.
Arguing for his program of efficiency,
he has naturally called attention to
the inefflciency Of the present admin
stration."
