London, Jan. 19.-After only q

front, the Russians again have begun
strong offensive against the Austro-
Hungarians on the Bessarabian from.
tier east of Czernowitz. capital Of

Vienna had forecast that the Sec

was imminent by the announcement
that the Russians were throwing

Russians launched with numerous
columns for new attacks near Poroutz

they were everywhere repulsed.
The Germans have attacked Rus

with an air squadron.
Reports Conflicting.
While the Turkish war Office as.

LUS|TAN|A
QUESTION IS
NEAR FINISH
Germany Has Sent Note But Ger
tain Reservations Were
Rejected.
UNITED STATES WANTS
CLEAN CUT STATEMENT

Washington, Jan. 19.-Germany':
proposal to incorporate in the set
tlement Of the Lusitania case res.
ervation of any admission of wrong
doing by her submarine commander
is understood to have been rejected
by the United States.
To Express Regret.
"A new proposal from the Berlin
government is expected momentarily
however, and there is possibility
that the controversy may be closed
by the elimination of all mention of
the merits or demerits of the actual
torpedoing Of the vessel, Germany
agreeing to pay an indemnity for the
American lives lost, reiterating ex.
pressions Of regret, and calling atten-
ton directly or by, inference to the
contention that she already has given
the most effective disavowal by max
ing assurances for the future.
Will Reject Reservations.
If in the new proposition, there
should be another such a reservation
or any attempt to justify the sinking
of the Lusitania, on the ground that
the act constituted reprisal in re-
taliation for the British blockade Of
Germany, that also probably will be
rejected.
There were indications tonight,
however, that Germany believes that
the United States might under GER
tain circumstances accept a proposal
emitting mention Of the legality or
illegality of the act. One of a some
what nature resulted in an agreement
over the sinking of the steamship,

Official and Teutonic circles re-
manned optimistic regarding the out
come of the negotiations.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Republican
members of the senate foreign rela-

day their intention to keep up the
fight for definite action by congress
on the Mexican situation.
The Democrats, equally, were as de-
termined that no legislative action
should be taken at this stage and
that the problems involved should be
left to the president.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, is making
a canvass Of the senate to determine

BLIND
NEEDS AID;
HER STORY

This is the story of a blind girl in
Bismarck who, in addition to the
handicap Of her afflietion, is suffering
from the pinch OF poverty.
Her mother supports a large tam
ily by taking in washing. The father
contributes little or nothing to their
support. Can one imagine sadder
environment for the blind.
A movement has been started to
send the girl to the state school at
Bathgate. Charitable people have
consented to pay her railroad expens'
es. The state provides a free school
but no means Of transportation.
All that is needed to bring little
sunshine into the soul of this unfor.
tunate girl is money to defray the eX.
penses of companion to accompany
her to the school.
There may be one or two persons
in Bismarck who would like the privi
lege of assisting the girl. The case is
worthy in every respect.
If interested, communicate with
Supt. G. E. Newcomb Of this city
who can be reached by telephone.

Ten delegates will be named at to-
days session to carry the LaFollette
banners at the coming presidential
primary. William Lemke was endors-
ed for national committeeman.
No word was received from Cum
Minis and it seems doubtful whether
the Iowa senator will retire in favor
of I.aFollette. Many of the members
of the league desire him to continue
in the race.

Steam roller tactics forced through
a formal LaFollette endorsement.
The following officers were elected:

TREMENDOUS
ENTHUSIASM At
TR|.STATE MEET
Grain Growers Have Big Crowd
and Great Interest Is
Shown.
LIVE STOCK WAS
WEDNESDAYS FEATURE
Review of Situation as Seen in
Seventeen Years of Farm
Business.


Fargo, N. D., Jan. l9.-Trcrendous
enthusiasm marks the secOnd day s
session of the Tri-State Grain Grow.
ers association convention, which is
now on in this city. The program
which has been under consideration
for the past few months, is one OF
the best that the organization could
possibly arrange, and the attendance
at the various meetings held in The
auditorium are such as to enthuse
the various men who have numbers
on the program.
Speeches Are Practicable.
The many speeches delivered are
such that the farmer who hears them
can gather the gist and put in prac-
tice everything that has been spoken.
The people who nave numbers on the
program have carefully prepared
their numbers so that the statements
made stand out clear and in simple
English. No ambiguous terms are
used and all expressions that would
have tendency to confuse the audit
ors are dispensed with.
Livestock Topic Discussed.
After short Introductory address,
President Worst introduced ]. E.
Eastgate Of Larimore, who gave a
very interesting and instructive talk
on livestock" Mr.. Eastgate hi
hard and .convincingly in his remarks
on the industry which means so much
to this state. He reviewed its his
tory and told Of the great changes
that are being wrought in the finan
ciai conditions OF the pe0pIe IN every
community where livestock is a pari
of the farm products. Also, he told
of the Improvement IN the grades of
stock now kept and compared it with
the scrubs of II years ago. He also
showed the returns from an acre OF
grassfed cattle and the same acre
under cultivation.
Farm Accounting.
Alfred Aentz, associate editor OF
the Dakota Farmer, gave an illustrat.
ed and interesting talk on farm ac-
counting. This talk was filled with
vital matters for the man who is on
the farm and the relations to the
farm business was shown to be as i'm
portant as to the man who is in the
mercantile or banking business.
Farm clubs was discussed and ell
aborated upon by Mr.. A. D. Wilson.
This topic was of more than passing
interest as the development Of the so
cial life of the farmer has been great.
ly augmented by the establishment Of
numerous farm clubs. Cooperation
was discussed and G. L. Smith OF
Mona, gave strong and impressive
talk on the Federation of Farm clubs.
Other we'll known speakers addressed
the convention and the day was one
filled to repletion with good things
for the grain growers that, it is said,
if the convention had gathered, heard
and dispersed, and had heard but one
of the many speeches, the time, mon,
ey and effort expended would have
amply ben repaid the visitor in the
new ideas he would have gained.
