IMPENDING ON
FRENCH FRONT
Secretary Baker Says Significant
--"''7''
Operations in Progress East
and West
ADMITS ITALY PASSING
A DIFFICULT MOMENT

Washington, Oct. 29.-ImpOrtant de-
vc!opments are impending in the great
war, Secretary Baker indicates In his
official review of last weeks opera
tions on all fronts, which concludes
with the brief statement that certain
units of the American forces in
France have taken their places on the
battle front to complete their train
ing. This is the war departments
first mention of the fact that General
'Porshings men are on the firing line.
1t is the wave OF activity during the
week on nearly every front, however,
that caught the secretary's attention.
Significant operations are in progress,
he says, both east and west, on the
Italian front, in Macedonia, Roumania,
Mesopotamia and even in East Africa.
On the western front, he says, new
strategic retreat of the German forces
appears to be the next move expected
and they must move back under criti
cal circumstances from between the
two wedges, those of Flanders and the
Aisne, which have been driven down
relentlessly into their lines by the
British and the French.
Italy is passing through difficult
moment Mr.. Baker says. The Aus
tro-German drive is being pressed
forward by imposing forces. Eut once
before, Italy stemmed the tide of an
Austrian rush, under less favorable
conditions for the defenders, he
points out, and hurled the enemy back
iwth only taste of victory during the
first days of his terrific onslaught.
Winter is coming to the aid of the
Italians.

:OLO.T|ME TRAPPER
LOADS FOR BEAVER
Open Season on Destructive AMI
NAL will Bring Thousand of
Dollars for Pelts

The fact that beaver, which have
been protected by several years
closed season, may be trapped from
Jan. 10 to March 10, already is re-
sulting in a renewal of activity among
old time trappers and an increased
demand for steel traps. Beavers, in
the Missouri valley and west of the
river, have become so plentiful as to
become pest. Young forests planted
by thrifty homesteaders have been
hewn down, almost over night; beav-
er dams have obstructed and over
flowed creeks and rivers, and the
treacherous barriers have proven a
dangerous trap for unwary cattle.
Beaver pelts have never possessed a
higher market value; the skins, with
the cod Gather preceding the open
season should be in prime condition,
and it, is anticipated that lrappers will
make thousands of dollars during the
two months when beaver will be legi-

NATIONAL UNION
MUST SETTLE ALL
ITS JUST CLAIMS
Insurance Commissioner Olsness
Warns Farmers not be Misled
by Adjusters

Insurance Commissioner S. A. OILS
ness again warns North Dakota farm
ers who have drouth insurance poll
cies that they should not be misled
by adjusters who, it is alleged, are
representing that the National Union
Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa,
is financially unable to pay its losses;
or that the only chance of settlement
is the return of premium without the
payment of loss, and that this propo-
sitlon is approved ty the insurance de-
partment: or that the company is
denying liability for all losses through
out the western part of the state, or
that criminal prosecution will be in
stituted by the company if settlement
is not made by the insured on the
terms it offers.
The company, Commissioner Ols-
ness states, must settle each claim
according to its merits. The National
Union, he assures the holders OF
drouth policies, is strong company,
we'll able to meet all claims, and is
in no danger of going bankrupt. He
asks that farmers who have been mis-
led in an effort to adjust their policies
on wrongful basis advise him Of the
fact, giving the names of adjusters
and place and date where such mis-
representation was made. -
There is, states Mr. Olsney tisome
question about the standing I the
Bankers Insurance Co. of Helena,
Mont, which wrote large amount Of
drouth business in this state, but none
at all about the National Union. The
two companies wrote about $4,000, 900
worth of policies, insuring the farmer
against loss of crop up to 81 per
acre. The result has been disastrous
to both companies. and it is claimed
that various subterfuges have been re-
sorted 10 to avoid payment. Nathan
H. Chase of Minneapolis, western at
torney for the National Union, was
here in conference with Insurance
Commissioner Olsness last week, and
following the conference Mr.. Olsness
issued another letter to the farmers,

know their claims are just, and to ac-

noon in the first session of that body
to be held since a recent supreme
court decision gave Governor Frazier
control, it will find that Governor Fra
zier already has selected two men for
the secretaryship Of the board.
Some time ago, Frank Wilder, dep
uty secretary Of state, was called into
the Office of the chief executive and
advised that he might be secretary
of the board of regents, if he chose.
Within the last two weeks Win S.
Mitchell, office deputy in the state
examiners department, was sum-
mOned into the presence and given
the same dope" Later, each found
the other had been presented with
the job, and now each is anxiously
awaiting tomorrOw's developments, it
being barely possible that the board
Of regents may have picked still
third candidate for the favor, or that
it may decide to let matters drift
along as they are for awhile.
There have been two secretaries Of
the state board of regents since early
in Frazier's administration, when be
organized his own board in an effort
to oust all the Hanna appointees. That
board duly elected its chairman and
secretary, Herbert A. Hard formerly

kota agricultural college, being select
ed for the latter berth. He acted as
secretary at the first and only meet
ing of the original FREEZER htxsrd, and
opened ur u news set Of books, mas
much as the i!anna board retained the
Official records of the regents. Hard
has since been taken care of by being
made secretary of the state reclama-
ton commission, berth for which
he seems particularly we'll fitted, and
there has been considerable cOnjec-
ture as to who the new secretary
would be, 1t being taken more or less
for granted that the victors would
claim the spoils.
Col. Charles Brewer, who has been
secretary of the board of regents
since its organize ton, formerly was
editor of the Fargo Forum, in which
CAPACITY he appeared as one OF the
states first champions of consolidated
schools. He was recently reelected
for" two years by a unanimous vote of,
the board. F;ark Wilder, advanced
to the office of deputy secretary OF
state when John Andrews resigned,
has been on Secretary of State Halls
staff for a number of years. Win
Mitchell for some time has been in the
state examiners Office. Both are for
mer newspaper men with a wide ac-
uuaintanceship.

zAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers Of
the city to assemble for a conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading eonfisca-
tion of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies of General Car
rama had collected q forced loan of
ten million pesos from the banks.
That mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader?
Zapata's speech was short and to
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. I want $4,000 pesos
to feed them for few days. You will
pay this. l promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank.
full to escape with such a modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months the city was
better policed than it has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico But this is the strange part
of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of confiscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.
