THOMPSON IS J0LTED
BY CHICAGO COUNCIL

Chicago, Oct. 23.-By vote of 4s
to IL, the Chicago city council passed
over Mayor Thompson's veto a reso-
luton commencing Governor Lowden
for sending troops to Chicago last
summer to prevent a meeting Of the
Peoples Council of America for Dem
ocracy and terms of peace.
Mayor Thompson submitted a
lengthy resolution passed by the al
dermen several months ago, and
which under the rules went to the
mayor for approval during the sum-
mer vacation.
Alderman Toman, the author of
the council resolution, promptly
moved a suspension of the rules for
the passage Of the resolution over
the mayors veto Alderman Mich
aelson, city administration leader,
vigorously opposed the proposed ac-
tion, raising number of technical
points of order. After a parliament
ary dispute, the rules were finally
suspended by'a viva voce vote with
few voting in the negative. The
roll was then called and the resolu-
ton passed over the mayors veto.

Mammoth Loyalty Meeting
Projected For Northwest

Cities, and leading citizens from the
five Northwest states appealed to
President Wilson to come to the
Northwest for an answer to LaFol-
lette and all pacifism.
County conventions probably will
be held in every county in the state
and delegates selected for the big
loyalty convention in the Twin
Cities.
To push the work mapped out by
the committee, headquarters will be
opened in st. Paul today Fred B.
Snyder of Minneapolis was delegated
to arrange for the opening of the
headquarters.
An effort will be made to obtain
Lord Northcliffe, now in New York,
and James A. Mcdonald, editor of
the Toronto Globe, as two of the
ablest spokesmen of the Allies of
the United States in the present war
Elihu Root and William ]. Bryan
were suggested as other possible
speakers for the convention.
Members of the committees are to
begin an active campaign at once to
stimulate interest in the movement
throughout the Northwest.

BOLSTER UP SPIRIT
BY RUSS SMASHES:
N0SEPARATEPEACE
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 23.-Germany's
new Russian smashes mean chiefly
that she is trying to gain a separate
peace with Russia while at the same
time trying to cheer the tagging
spirits Of her own people.
That is the view of Secretary of
War Baker and other high officials.
Russian diplomats here are as
sured there will be no separate peace
while Secretary Baker declares that
as the German drive lengthens the
lines of communication in the east
ern drive, the German forces will be
ultimately weakened. The British
and French Flanders drive on the
western front more than offsets the
eastern success of the Germans. Gen
eral Haig will continue his attacks
all winter in an effort to shake Ger
man stamina and shatter the lines.
Weakening Of the morale of the
German army is evidenced by the
growing number Of deserters reach
ing the allied lines. Over $4,000
German deserters are reported in
Switzerland.

OPENINGS; IS SELECT
BRANCH OF MILITARY

Recruiting Officer Clarence Fou-
cault of the Bemidji recruiting sta
tiOn has received a communication
informing him there were openings
in the coast artillery and instructing
him to secure men for this arm of
the military service. ~
The coast artillery is one Of the
most interesting branches OF. the
The enlisted men are sta.
toned at points defended on the
coast of the United States and the
forts and stations are among the
most interesting places in the coun-
try. There is opportunity for study
and development and the coast ar
tillery is considered a select branch
of the army
"Here's a chance that shouldn't
be overlooked by anyone contemplat-
ing getting into the SERVICE" said
Mr.. Foucault, who served two years
in that branch, land any intelligent
man between the ages of 18 and 40
should take advantage of this op-
portunity, as it doesn't occur often. -

POTATO FAMINE.

ORDERS ISSUED TO LOAD
CARS TO THE MAXIMUM
0ne-third Of Crop Still In the Ground,
1t Is Asserted; Shipping Fa-
cilities Not Available.

Minneapolis, Oct. 23.-Serious po-
tato famine is threatening Minneap-
oils as the combined result of heavy
frosts, car shortage and alleged un-
reasonable loading restrictions for
the few remaining cars to be OBJ
tained, according to H. J. Hughes,
chairman of the potato committee
of the Minnesota Public Safety COM
mission.
Refrigerator cars have almost all
been sent to the Pacific coast to
transport the apple crop eastward
and connecting lines are refusing to
accept potato shipments in box cars.
Orders have been issued by at least
one road that cars will not be ac-
cepted unless they are loaded to a
minimum of 900 bushels per car
Shippers claim this is impossible be-
cause it leaves no space for heating
apparatus necessary to protect the
shipment from frosting.

west are full and are refusing to ac-
cept more potatoes for storage. The
refused potatoes are total loss be-
cause of the severe weather, which
has frozen them.
"There are sufficient cars on hand
to handle the potatoes of the North
west, providing other commodities
are sacrificed" advised the commit
tee on car shortage of the American
Railway association in a letter to
the Minnesota Public Safety COM
mission. 1T is simply a question Of
apportioning the cars with proper
regard to the demands of producers
"The car supply is so limited it
makes it almost imperative as every
shipper of potatoes as we'll as every
thing else must have it made very
plain to him that no car space be
wasted and that every car should
be loaded to every pound it will
carry" the letter continued.
One-third of Crop in Ground.
IF shipping facilities were nor
NAL owing to the large crop, potatoes
would be selling for much less than
the present price of $3.50 to $1.S5
per bushel," declared Mr.. Hughes.
t'One-third of the crop is still in the
ground and is said to be frosted.
The entire Northwest is stripped of
cars and unless relief is given i'm
mediately there will be no potatoes
to be obtained at all''

PHlLLlPPI NEVER HAD
BETTER time Than AT
..,.... REUNION, HE ASSERTS

II never had better time in my
life and l am glad I went," said AL
derman J. M. Phillippi this morn
ing. Mr.. Phillippi has just return
ed from the Blue and Gray jubilee
held at Vicksburg, Miss, being a
member of Company G, 32nd Iowa
volunteers in the Civil war. He con-
tinued: 1--WE are loyal, but l believe
the boys in gray are more so, and
they surely gave us a royal welcome
and treated us right. There were
more than $4,000 in blue and gray,
and over 10000 visitors.
give hundred went from the
state of Minnesota and they told us
down there that we were the best
looking and best dressed of all the
soldiers, of which fact you may be-
lieve we were proud. We Mime
sofa boys all went dressed in our
blue uniforms and brass buttons.
Talk about being hot. The coolest
days we had were IS and 80 degrees.
When we arrived in the South Thurs
day of last week it was too hot to
open the train windows"
In speaking of the country, he
continued: II believe the south is
just 100 years behind the times.
Most of the farming is done by the
negroes and they do not work any
harder than they have to, and live
in shacks and novels. The cotton
crop down there is fine this year,
as is also the sweet potatoes, but
the corn is not so good. Wherever
white man is farming you can no.
tice the difference in the looks of
the crops"
Mr.. Phillippi brought with him
several shells which he had picked
up on the battlefield at Vicksburg
which had been buried in the ground
for 54 years, one of which still had
the clay on. He also brought cot
ton, some persimmons and copy of
the paper issued the day before the
battle at Vicksburg. This issue
was printed on wall paper as
they could get no print paper
through the lines at that time. Nor
gan's drum corps Of Minneapolis
furnished the music at the ju-
bilee.
