proclamation issued by order of the
German commandant at Antoing.
Belgium, giving instructions to work
men, has been received here. The
proclamation says that after receiving

THE German authority notifies the
people that civilians may be forced to
work if there are insufficient volunteer
workmen, for example, for work in
factories, sawmills. workshops or on
farms, in the fields and in the build
ing of railroads or roads. The popula-
ton will never be forced to labor on
works exposed to continual fire. In
case of refusal to work, the person so
refusing will be condemned to penal
ties of fine, imprisonment and enlist
ment in the prison battalion Of civilian
workmen with reduced rations. The
communes may also be punished,
either by limitations of trade or the
imposition Of fine or taxes, etc"

Thief River Falls; Mimi, Nov. "a
The special meeting in this city yes
terday to consider drainage problems
in connection with the regulation Of
Red lake waters as viewed for the
Red lakes and the Red Lake river by
terested in the matter from the stand
point OF maintaining navigable
streams, was well attended by dele
gates from various cities, communi-
ties and states.
Plans for the Strengthening and
deepening of the Red Lake river
from the outlet Of the lakes to Thief
River Falls were presented by Q. L.
Dent of Bemidji, judicial referee in
ditch matters for the counties of
Pennington, Red Lake, Clearwater and
Beltrami. embodying also the con-
struction of retaining dam at the
outlet of the lake, the cost of which
was estimated to be about 100000.
Four Part Scheme.
This sum, it is proposed to divide
equally into four parts, the power
interests, the river and harbor inter-
ests, the state of Minnesota and the
lands of the white man and the In
dian-each OF the latter bearing an
eighth.
Water power interests were repre-
sented at the meeting and to a cer-
tain extent indicated that they would
be willing to stand q share of the
expense. but that they could not af-
ford quarter of the cost. Senator
ID. p. O'Neill OF this city then advo-
Gated that If he could influence the
state legislature he would do so to
the end that if the undeveloped water
power rights refused to pay their
just share, then these rights should
be taken from them and revert to
the people.
Water Excessive.
1t was generally conceded that the
high water in the Red lakes was ex-
cessive this year, some contending
that 1t might be due to heavy pre-
cipitation, while most of those heard
advanced the theory that it was due

it, were stoutIy denied by the Of

General Gonzales, commander Of

were fighting in the streets, is
absurd"

over the telegraph lines from Chi
huahua city and there had been
nothing Of the sort. Gonzales an
nounced that Villa and his bandits
returned to the scene of their ap-
parent defeat and renewed the at
tack at 9 o'clock this morning.
Andres Garcia, inspector general
of the Carranza- cSnsulates, otfic-
tally denied the report that Gems
eraI TreVino is at Terrazas station
north of Chihuahua city, which
latter place he is said TO have evac-
uated.
General Gonzales was talking
with TreVino over the military
military headquarters in the state
capital this morning" Garcia said;
rumors, neither is there truth to
tho rumor that 1000 Carranza
troops have joined Villa"
II was reported here today that
Villa had succeeded in entering
Chihuahua city and that street
fighting was in progress. Juarez
officials have no information re-
sarding this.

lakes into that large body of water
and its increased volume being forced
down the Red Lake river, where
with ma protecting banks it over
flowed with disastrous effects to set
tiers all along the banks for miles.
A communication from A. b.
Kaercher Of Ortonville was read into
the minutes of the meeting, stating
that it was in reality very broad
affair and included not only the
drainage basin of the Red lakes. but
also that Of the entire state, as well
as the Red river valley Of the north
and which would also include the
Dominion of Canada, making 1t an
international affair.
All Represented.
Settlers from along the whole Red
to the outlet of the lake were present
and presented statements that they
had in several instances been forced
to vacate their premises and that the
overflow of the river this past year
had certainly been disastrous to them.
Government Work.
J. J. Opsahl Of Bemidji called at
tention to the fact that the federal
government had already spent mill
navigable shore line on the upper
Mississippi while not cent had been
spent by the government on this
very important body of water, where
the development was just as equally
important. He believed that the
government, if it was approached In
the right manner, would undertake
the work as outlined by Mr.. Dent
Daniel Shaw OF this city stated
that the Indians of the Red lake
reservation had already asked the
government to drain their 100000
acres of land at their expense, offer
ing to stand the cost thereof, and
protecting the government as to its
expense by placing the standing tim
against their lands. If this drainage
was put into effect 1t would make
their lands worth from $3.000.0oO TO
$4,000.100.
