New State Map Proving
Great Advertising Feature

That the latest map of North Dako-
ia, compiled by the department of agri-
culture, was issued at a time when it
was most urgently needed is proved
by the rapidity with which the $4,000
maps so ordered are being bought by
those who can use this method of
state advertising in their business.
These maps were received from the
publishers March q, this year, and on
April % there are less than 5000 re-
naming. BY ordering in $4,000 lots
special price has been secured by
Commissioner R. F. Flint which is
less than half the rate that would be
charged in lots of 10000 or less. This
full reduction has been offered to any.
one who can use 100 or more maps,
and figures out $1.O5 per hundred or
multiple thereof, f. o. b. Bismarck.
The map speaks for itself and as a
whole constitutes a veritable store
house of information concerning the
state. No one DESTROYS of keeping
posted on the development and re-
sources of North Dakota should be
without a copy. For a little more
than cent each, there is no publicity
literature that offers greater value.
Commissioner Flint has placed an
other order for $4,000 with the pub
fishers and will be glad to book
orders at the rates quoted above
First come, first served. .s.
This method of publicity has beer
rendered necessary because of the fail
ure of the legislature to provide means
for the free publication of this class
of literature. Money secured from
the sale of the maps is turned into
the printing fund of the department.

Long Delay Presages
an Unfavorable Reply

Washington, May 2. - Two weeks
have passed since the United States
dispatched to Germany it's note de-
manding that an abandonment of pres
ent methods of submarine warfare i'm
mediately be declared and effective,
and tonight the state department was
still without any definite information,
Indicating that the demand would be
compiled with.
AS the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government, an
air of grave concern is beginning to
manifest itself in administration cir.
cles.
Public officials continue to preserve
an air of optimism. Privately no at
tempt is made to conceal the contrary
feeling and this feeling is certain tc
become pronounced unless some defn
tie news is forthcoming over night.
1t is felt here that the very length
of time which has been consumed by
the German government is preparing {
reply in itself indicates that the com
munication will not take the shape o
a simple response to the direct ant
clear-cut issue raised in the American
note. 1t is feared that the reply il
likely to assume an argumentativ
character and which scarcely can b.
regarded as meeting the Requirement
of the United States.

Somme front, says dispatch to the
wireless press from Berne, made a
speech to the German wounded SOL

1T is the most poignant grief Of my
life that l am unable to take a more
active part in this war. It is my ear

trenches and to deal such blows at our
enemies as my age and strength would
permit.
IT could take my place with the

But the inscrutable Almighty has will

committed by divine destiny the lead

restrained, would carry me swiftly.
my life must be conserved for the
welfare of Germany In order to carry
out the duties assigned to me by divine

WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE DRASTIC ACTION.

whose foreign trade has been handi-
capped by Great Britain through the
circulation of blacklists, said today
that they were collecting mass Of
material to lay before the state de-
partment to emphasize a formal pro-
test and that their communication to
the federal government probably
would be ready late this week.
BY a comparison Of experiences,
made now for the first time, local ex-
porters say they are able to define the
methods by which the British govern
ment seeks to prevent citizens Of the
Teutonic empires from benefiting In
any way from neutral trade. In their
protest they will describe how, in order
to do any export business with Great
Britain or her colonies or allies. It
was necessary to obtain from the for
eign trade department Of the British
embassy at Washington letter OF
assurance which states "as far as Is
at present known there would appear
to be no objection on the part of the
British government to this consign-
ment" One exporter said that before
he could obtain such a trade passport
he wrote twenty letters and sent num-
erous kilograms to the British en-
basSy. ..-

Highway Between Agency
and Ottumwa Gets Dust
Allaying Treatment
COUNTY ENGINEER

Travellers Asked to Avoid
Route Until Oil Soaks
....
in; Take Few Days

Autoists and others who use the
country roads will be glad to note the
long desired oiled roads are about to
become reality. Work was started
this morning east of the city and with
in few days the road to Agency will
be oiled and it is expected that dust
will become thing of the past on this
much travelled highway.
County Engineer H. G. Cook with a
force of men started the oiling at the
east limits of the city this morning.
One half Of the road was oiled as far
as the underground crossing where the
Burlington passes over the highway
in Riverview. The object of oiling but
one-half at this time Is to permit traf-
f1c to continue uninterrupted and all
car drivers as we'll as others using the
road are asked to keep to one side,
that which is untreated, until the oil
has soaked into the oiled road, and
from the underground crossing to take
the old road south of the tracks in to
Agency. The other half will be treat
ed later.
Must Keep OF Road.
The right of way road will be oiled
it's full width from the crossing to
point midway between Agency and Ot-
tumwa where the Agency people who
are oiling the balance Of the road will
continue the work. Persons who live
along this road are requested to take
the sides of the highway as near the
cutters as possible in order to give
the oil chance to get In It's effective
ness without being ham pered by traf-
fic The road will be closed to others
than those who have to use it as the
only means of travel to and from their
homes.
It is expected that the traffic will
be interrupted but few days and car
owners or others using the roads are
asked to aid in the work of improve
ment by avoiding the oiled roads until
they are opened to public use.
VIII OH Other Roads.
The Commercial club has been ac-
tive in the movement for the improve
ment Of the country roads for more
than a year past and 1t was not until
this year that the fund was raised suf-
ficiently to carry on the work. Three
other roads will be treated after the
Agency highway is oiled. These are
the north road along Prairie avenue,
the Blakesburg road and probably the
route leading west from the city.

GERMAN VESSELS
MAY Be SEIZED

Rio Janeiro, July 24.-The question
of requisitioning German ships in
Brazilian ports will shortly be taken
up by the Brazilian congress. Deputy
Goncalves Naia is preparing resolu-
tion authorizing such requisition,
which he will present to the chamber
There are thirty-eight German ships
and four Austrian in Brazilian ports.
This shipping is estimated to be worth
between $16,000,000 and s2O,00O,OO0.
The biggest ship Of the fleet is the
Hamburg-American liner Bluecher,
which has net tonnage of 1882.
There has been some Ill will against
Germany in Brazil because Germany
seized Brazilian coffee worth $1,000
900 and refused payment for it. After
Portugal had requisitioned German
ships in her ports last February it
was reported in New Yorok and Lon
don that Brazil had taken similar ac-
tion. Germanys declaration Of war on
Portugal was greeted by popular dem
onstrations in Rio Janeiro in favor Of
the allies.

VEN|zE[0S SEES
ALLIED VICTORY

Athens, July 24.-Former Premier
Venizelos openly challenges King
Constantine's expressed belief that
Germany cannot be defeated In an
article in yesterdays Herald.
Venizelos quotes an interview given
by the king to an Associated Press
representative last January, in which
the monarch declared that the war
would result in draw.
''Who is now 50 blinded by pre-
judices," asks the statesman, that he
still believes in German victory? Who
today, after the reorganization Of the
Russian army and the organization Of
Kitchener's army, by which England
Is raised to the rank of great mill
tary power, still imagines that the war
can be ended by a bastard peace in
which there will be neither victor nor
vanquished?"
In the interview referred to, King
Constantine said:
IF economic exhaustion does not
force Germany to sue for peace, 1 be-
lieve 1t will be very difficult, If not
impossible, to conquer her in a military
way
Asked as to what he believed would
be the outcome of the war, the king
replied:
"A draw-dont you?"
The interview was given on January
20.

women fed into the brush and also
escaped. .a....

the man, who proved to be Swiss
