Rev. J. E. Caldwell, through his
attorney, Carl l.. Hebron, has COM
menced suit against Harry Gunsalus,
proprietor of the big Harry soft
drink parlors, for $1,000 damages.

for Rev. Caldwell, alleges:
"1) That on the 9Th day Of Au-
gust, 1915, the plaintiff, during the
early evening of the said day, went
to the east side of Minnesota Avenue
in the City of Bemidji, Beltrami
County, Minnesota, at place about
twenty feet south of the intersection
of the said Minnesota Avenue with
Third Street in said City, and there
took his stand upon the pavement in
the said street for the purpose of de-
livering an address to the public in
support of County Option and for
the purpose of soliciting votes for the
County Option bill which was to be
voted upon on the following Monday
in the said City and County and in
opposition to the Liquor interests
which were opposed to the passage of
the said County Option measure.

Wherever the. Germans concentrate
their reserves and carry out a. coun'

of short duration. A systematic
British advance makes it possible to
retaliate quickly, mostly in force.
News is Censored. -
Precaution prevents the publica-
ton of news relating to troops and
movements of troops, but it can be
said with safety that there is nc
shortage of shells or men or guns be-
hind the British line.
From the viewpoint of the non
military observer, there is no short
age of anything. For miles along
the network of country roads well be-
hind the fighting lines, great masses
of men in khaki, most of them wear,
ing the picturesque steel helmet, are
awaiting for their turn. Motor lor.
ries in great droves are also perform:
ing their functions. Passing along
the roads, miles and miles to the real
khaki is everywhere.

With the British Army in the
Field, July 20.-(By maiD-f it's
possible to imagine dozens of heavy
thunder storms blended into one con-
tinuous roar, the shrieking and whin-
ing of tons of unseen steel and high
explosives, racing through the sky,
lightning flashes of bursting shells
continuously speaking the horizon,
like a. giant Fourth Of July display.
then it's partly possible to visualize
the newest phase of war on the west
ern front.
Just Ugly Bloches.
The United Press correspondent
saw and heard all this today from a
high stretch of ground commanding
the scene of a dozen of the most ter
rible conflicts of the British drive
Dotting the green hills and valleys
here and there were distinct dots OF
brown, visible against the naked
skeletons of trees. These ugly
blotches of landscape a short time
ago were pretty villages, each with
a church spire and red topped houses
snuggled down between the rolling
hills. Today they were. mere ugly
blotches, mostly pile of bricks that
resembled nothing.

REPORTED MANAGERS HAVE
AGREED TO 8-HOUR DAY
(By United Press)

Washington. Aug. 15.-The bur-
den preventing the national railway
strike this afternoon appeared to
have swung from the managers to
the employees. During the managers
conference it was understood that the
managers had agreed to the basis of
the principles of an eight-hour day.
but demand that the question of over
time pay be subjected to more far
reaching Investigation.
Arrive at Nine.
Railway managers and representa-
tives of the brotherhoods arrived at
the White House at nine O'Clock this
morning to resume their conferences.
Spokesman Elisha Lee carried small
PORTFOLIO. It is not known whether
or not this contained proposition
the managers will make the presi-
dent upon which the differences
would be arbitrated.
President Determined.
It is reported that President Will
son is determined to prevent the
strike if he must make personal ap-
peal to every railroad president and
employe.
How the 100000 persons living
in Greater New York will be fed in
the event Of a railway strike is a
problem that is being given consid-
(eration by-uf1ciais6 here to-day: s-.<-
Survey in New York.
Joseph J. Hartigan, secretary of
Mayor .Mitchell's committee on food
supply, has proposed survey be made
of all sources Of food supply, which
could be Communicated if the strike
is declared. With the city in the
grip of the infantile paralysis cpl
demic, city authorities are trying to
determine how the 2,225,000 quarts
of milk the city consumes daily could
be brought to this city in the event
of strike.
Eight-Day Supply.
Meat packers estimated that the
New York supply Of meat would last
but eight days if the railways were
tied up. More than 100000 tour
lists are now in New York, it is esti-
mated. How these people could be
fed, to say nothing of their being I'M
able to return to their homes and
places of business Is also troubling
city officials.
AS New York produces practically
no foodstuffs, a strike which would
cut off the city from it's food supply
would result in appalling conditions
in a short time, authorities said.

Both Sides Confident.

Both Sides Confident.
Both the "wets'' and drys" are
confident that they will win, al
though both sides admit that the vote
will be very close. The .'drys" be-
lieve that the vote in the Benville
district, that has not been received,
will cut down the "wet'' lead con-
siderably.
There are IA saloons in Beltrami
county, eight at Baudette and six at
Spooner. Kelliher has several Ii
censed drinking houses.
Much interest was shown in the
election, the vote in all precincts be-
ing very heavy. It is believed that
over 5000 votes were cast in the
election. There were 1920 votes
cast in the 46 precincts received.
In Bemidji 7O1 votes were cast as
against 465 votes cast at the June
primaries for representative to the
state legislature.

In Baudette 1913 votes were cast at
the election yesterday as compared to
1913 votes cast at the June primaries
for representative.

to So at the June primaries.
There were many surprises in the
election besides the large vote.

Bemidji Goes Dry.
Bemidji cast more votes at this
election than it did at any other

was shown in the campaign during
the past week, those who favored the
wet side sending literature to all
parts of this district. Bemidji voted
dry by 81 votes, the complete vote
being 500 dry and 335 wet. The
