London, Oct. 13.-Steadily the pres
sure of the, Austro-German forces is
compelling the Roumanian troops
who invaded Pennsylvania less than
eight weeks ago to fall back upon OF
toward their own fighting line. In
eastern Pennsylvania; north of Kron'
stadt, Berlin reports additional terri
tory free of Roumanians. Southeast
of Kronstadt, the Austro- Germans
have also been successful against the
invaders. The Roumanians, however
are offering stubborn resistance. Bu'
charest reports the repulse by them
of attacks on the frontier of southern
Pennsylvania.
Violent Fighting on Carso Front.
Violent fighting continues on the
Carso front, in the Austro-Italian the
atre, with further successes for the
Italians. In the vicinity of Gorilla,
and to the south of this region, they
have repulsed heavy Austrian counter
attacks, inficting heavy casualties,
and east of Doberdo have approached
the second Austrian lines, taking 400
prisoners.
NoVavas is Captured.
Vienna admits the loss of the town
of Novavas, but announces that the
Austrians put down Italian attacks
at other points on the Carso plateau
and made 200 men prisoners. In
the Pasubio region of the Trentino
sector some additional gains in ground
are claimed by the Italians.
The French and British have been
repulsed in an attempt to break
through the German line between the
Ancre and the SOmme rivers in
France. The British attacked in the
region of Geudecourt and the French
near Sally but neither was able to
pierce the defense of the Germans,
although London claims slight ad'
vance near Geudecourt. South of the
Somme, stubborn fighting is still in
progress atrGernermont and Ablain'

Large Crowd Hears Former Vice
President at Morton County
Seat on Short Notice
STATESMAN STRONG IN
THE KIDDIE's HEARTS

that Fairbanks would grace the Nor

delegation was on hand to greet the
former vice president when No. 4 ar.
rived this morning, and a few mo-
ments later an audience of several
hundren had assembled to hear him,

the crowd and the enthusiasm.

cording Mandan half of the time
which Mr.. Fairbanks was to have de-
voted to Bismarck, and he designated
Mr.. Fairbanks as one of the fairest
men who ever has served the nation
as vice president
PIeases the Riddles.
Mr.. Fairbanks devoted the first part
of his address to the youngsters, with
whom he made himself solid right at
the outset. He commended the teach
ing of county. state and national gov
ernment in the schools; referred to
the changes which are now taking
place in the maps of Europe, and de-
clared that it was for the boys and
girls of today to see to it that our
government is preserved from the
disasters which have overcome the
older governments of the world.
Stands For Protection.
The former vice president stood
flat-footedly for protection, for a re-
turn to the policies of Mckinley.
which gave to America it's era of
greatest prosperity. He pleaded for
the election of president who will
stand for these wise, Republican
principles" and who will prepare the
country to meet the conditions which
it must face following the close of
the European war, when 30,0O0,00O
men now serving in the trenches will
re-enter into competition with Amer
ican workmen: when these men will
go back to the factory and the field
and when they will look for an out
let for their products to America,

London, Oct. 13.-The operations OF

sues as far as the British government
is concerned, in the opinion of Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade,
who discussed today with the Asso.

law as it was recognized by Great
Britain and the United States in the
day before thu war and was still OBJ
jectionable to Great Britain, but no
more so when it is done on this side
of the waters.
