SCHEIDEMANN'S
VIEW OF WILSON
PLAN is SECUTED
Anglo-American Domination Over

. VOissische Zeitung.

The Hague, Sept. 1.-THE Berlin
Vossische -Zeitung denounces Philip
Scheidemann's assertion to an Ameri-
can interviewer that the peace resolu-
ton Of the reischstag majority
amounts to much the same as Presi-
dent Wilson'S proposals.
The paper says that the Wilson
peace terms neal the supremacy of
of the An~glo-Saxon powers over de
fenseless Europe" while the reisch-
stag resolution means that the cont
Mental European powers should come
to an agreement 81 as to be able to-
gether to resist any future Anglo
American interference. This, it say
would establish a balance Of power
in the world to replace the British
system Of a balance Of power in Eu-
rope.
The vossische zeitung denies that
the reischstag attitude on domestic re-
forms has the remotest resemblance
to the sham democracy" with which
President Wilson would endow Ger
many. "It Is entirely false and clear

Of the supporters Of the liberal evolu-
ton in Germany" 1t says, ito read

attitude and Wilson'S dubious de-

WIIL|LISTO)|N HAS
CHANCE, FOR BIG
SUGAR FACTORY
Irrigation Project Response
bic for Investigation by
Big Concern.
(Herald Special service.)

st
'Williston, N. D., Sept. 14.-An-
En~aouncement that Williston has a good
chance to land a large sugar factory
was made here today by Reclamation
Agent W. S. Arthur, who has just
completed a survey of the Williston
irrigation project in company with G.
s. Milhizer and Field Agent Hender-
OF the Great Western Sugar CONF
pany.
The representatives who were here
are from the Billings factory and 1t
announced that previous plans to
build a large 900 ton factory in the
Yellowstone district had been aban-
idoned and that instead two smaller
factories would be built, one in North
Dakota probably at Williston, and the
other somewhere in the Yellowstone
district. !.
The Williston irrigation project is
the feature that has brought the sugar
beet men here. The government Is
now making more favorable terms
than aver before for the use Of water
and the almost complete failure be-
cause Of drouth this year is helping
decide the problem. Within a few
weeks a of the project will
be made and the beet question put up
to the farmers as q none maker.
Merchants Of this city are going out
to get the acreage and every effort
will be made at once to show the
sugar company that this section
wants the plant.
Mr.. Milhiser stated that the plant
contemplated here would employ 800
me- in the sugar making. season and
that it would have a caapcity of 800

ATTRITION WAR
OF BRITAINS is
ACHIEVING AIMS

War Correspondents Headquarters
in France, Sept. 14.-All remains fair
ly quiet on the western battle front,
although I have no doubt many Of the
lads in the trenches find it difficult to
acquiesce in this summary of the sit
uation. But it has become such a
habit Of thought these days to deal
in big events that mere earthshaking
gun duels or earsplitting air raids are
dismissed as commonplaces of the sit
uation.
That the war becomes more and
moro deadly as 1t progresses is be-
yond question. On the Flanders
ridges the British are killing more
blond boys than in any previous De-
so much to n ac~centuation of the
sanguinary spirit as to the present
conditions of the conflict.
On the Somme the Germans fought
in packed formations, and had the
shelter Of deep dugouts, from which
the British gathered q very large
bag of prisoners. In Flanders they
are resisting in a scattered defensive
Of considerable depth, and shallow
concrete blockhouses, often counter
sunk to the level of the ground, take
the place of dugouts. Many of these
are 80 skillfully camouflaged that 1t
ts only when the surrounding ground

bombardment that they r revealed
at all, although machine guns may
have been squirting bullets from their
loopholed cupolas for days past.
Then again, the manner in which
the Germans are pressing home their
heavy c~ounterattacks these days, in
tho teeth of our great superiority of
artillery, is another terrible factor
Of loss, whether the attacks are suc-
cessfui or not.
Taking it for granted that this wal
will be won not by the recovery Of
the occupied territory due to the cleo
ton of the Germans, but by the wear
ing down Of the enemy man-power to
q point of incapacity for further re-
sistance, I think the present phase
Of the struggle may be regarded with
equanimity.
True, there is nothing particularly
spectacular about It in comparison
with various past epochs in the art
Of war; but as a process of attrition
1t is unquestionably achieving Its pur-
pose at a rate which we know from
incontrovertible evidence is causing
the gravest anxiety to the German
high command; and after all, that is
what mainly matters.

London, Sept. 1.-THE submarine

seriously. England needs iron.
France and italy want coal and

plies.
On the other hand, it was pointed
out by a high authority today. there
is NJ reason whatever to despair of
the situation. Neither England nor
America has yet put forth its full
strength with regard to the sub
marine war. Other questions equally
grave already have been answered
lem can be solved quite as we'll with
equal effort. For example, during the
first year of the war England was
confronted with the necessity of rails
ing an enormous army. With stupen-
dous effort she raised 1t. In the Sec

CLAIM FOR EXEMPTION

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 14.-That
the dependency Of q. wife or child on

The board has resumed its work
Of Fconsidering appeals from the var

Yesterday appeals were considered
from Mercer, Slope and Burleigh

REWARD
FOR SABOTAGE
CONVICTION
Dastardly Deed on Lilac
Hedge Farm Wreck
Silo Cutter.

Sabotage, the outrageously criminal
practice advocated by the I. w. ". as
one of its cardinal principles, was
demonstrated on the Lilac Hedge farm
of J.. D. Bacon yesterday in a man
ner that endangered the lives Of men
working on a silo cutter.
So reprehensible was the deed of.
some one Of criminal instincts that
Bacon makes an offer Of n hun
dred dollars for information that will
lead to the apprehension and convic-
stand not only for this case, but Mr..
Bacon says he will pay the reward
for such information in any other
case in this section Of the state.
James Dow was feeding the silo
cutter yesterday when there was a
sudden crash and grinding in the ma
chine that indicated that something
power couldSbe shut off the machine
was badly wrecked. An investigation
showed that an iron bar five-eighths
of an inch in diameter had been fed
into the machine. The iron bar had
been inserted in a bundle of corn so
securely that 1t did not protrude nor
fall out when the bundle was being
lOaQeQ OF uLlOduSu dlu WdS uAlAAOI4O-
ed, Of course, by Mr.. Dow.
That Mr.. Dow or some n else was
not crippled by pieces Of the machine
striking them was not the fault Of the
peraon who put the bar into the bun
die, and this is illustrated by an In
cident that occurred on another farm
in this vicinity. On the occasion
mentioned one of the knives of q silo
cutter became loose, and owing to
The speed with which the machines
are operated the knife tore its way
through the housing of the machinery
and flew some IL feet through the
air, striking a ladder leaning against
tile silo and completely several q 2x4
Upright as clearly as though it had
been sawed. It Is easily seen that such
"a, missile would deal a deadly blow
in striking a person ear by.
Mr.. Bacon, in speaking of the in
cident Of yesterday, said:
1.-THE man who would do such a
dastardly deed as this would be a dis
grace to even a p~enitentiary gang. It
is q serious matter when honest men
are unable to go about their work
and deliver their services to employ
ers in assurance of safety from such
viciousness.' For the sake of protect
ing others from such lawlessness ]
will gladly pay a reward Of 800 for
information that will lead to the ap-
~prehension and conviction of h per-
son who did this deed on my farm, or
a similar act on other farm in
this portion of the state"
