Denounce German War
Methods - Urge Short
er Judicial Opinions
OPPOSE REPEAL OF
BANKRUPTCY Law
Technical Error" Bill
Now Before Senate Is
Approved
(By Assoelated Press.l

Saratoga. Springs, N. T., Sept. g.
The American Bar association at It's
session yesterday denounced the
war methods Of Germany as Illegal
resolved TO request the judges OF
state and federal courts to write
shorter judicial opinions, authorized
further investigation of a proposal
to change the date. of the presid dential
inauguration, opposed legislation de-
signed to repeal the national bank
ruptcy law, and favored the tech
nical error" bill now before the
United States senate, a. measure en-
powering appellate courts to disre-
gard in their decisions technical
errors or defects which do not af-
feet the substantial rights of the
parties.
Action was deferred until today
on a proposed new standard of rules
for admission TO the bar. The COM
mittee which prepared the report
disapproved the suggestion that cam
didates be required to serve one year
in a law Office after being graduated
from an approved law school. The
suggested rules provide that the
candidate at the time Of his admis-
sion, shall be a citizen of the United
States.
The indictment of Germany which
was embodied in the formal report Of
the committee on international law,
aroused no discussion except the
suggestion, which was afterward
adopted that the document be sent
to the committee on public informa-
tion for such use as 1t may desire.
The report denounced these acts Of
Germany: Sinking merchant ships
without summons, proclamation of a
barred zone, conspiracies against
the domestic peace and trade of the
United States, murder of civilians
and assaults on women, wanton dew
astation of localities abandoned,
footing of occupied regions, murder
of Captain Fryatt and threats to treat
other mariners as franctireurs, de-
portation of women and young girls
and sinking hospital ships and sup
ply ships sailing under safe con-
ducts from the German authorities.
1--WE welcome, said the report, "the
entry of the United States into the
war in conjunction with the entente
allies for the purpose Of checking
such .lawless excesses and overthrow
ing those forms Of autocracy which
menace the peace, security and civil
ization of the whole world"

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. "a rumor
current here is that the two North
Dakota regiments, both OF which are
ofhcered. almost exclusively by vet
erans of the Filipino campaign, may
go to the Philippines to relieve two
regiments Of regulars there.
The report is given some weight
by the fact that the North Dakota
regiments are not included with
either of the two northwestern di-
visions, .one of which is assigned to
mobilization camp at San Diego, and
the other to Deming. n. NJ.
Military headquarters here admit
currency of the report, but are un-
able to state its source or amount Of
credence to be placed in 1t.
For. training camp purposes, the
North Dakota NationaIs guard Is
without q home While every other
northwestern state has been assigned
training camp. North Dakota's two
regiments are left out In the cold.
When the FlickeFtail state troops
will move, and whiteher they will so
seems more than. ever,a mystery.

(Assoeiatsd Prsss War. Summary
With the appearance of a
German feet in the Gulf of
Riga, the difficulties of the
problem facing the Rus
slams in the operations on
their northern front are ac-
centuated. Not only is the
safety of their armies con-
cerned, but apprehensions
are excited as to what will
happen to the Russian fleet
|if the German forces are
given full swing in the Bal
tic.
Only submarines 30 far have been
operating against the Russian right
| front as II fell back along the Gulf
OF Riga coast. Larger 1fships uoW
are likely to take part in the acttvt-
ties increasing the troubles Of the
Russians in keeping their nank pro-
tected.
AS TO the actual operations OF the
Russian fleet itAis not expected that
they will develpp until the lard
campaign is deVeIOped farther, and
il is seen what sdccess the Russians
will have in their effort to make 9
stand on their new line.
Moreover 1t Is q long way over
land to Reval, where the Russian
warships are supposed to be chteny
congreEated. The Riga gulf. how
ever would offer q favorable base for
purely naval operations against
RevaI, IL these should be decided up-
on.
On the forty mile front OF The
break in the Russian land lines, the
Germans are pushing their advantage
and have as yet met with no effec-
tive resistance. It is declared, how
ever, that the Russian retreat, Is BY
no means a rout, and that q wen
defined plan is being carried out In
the Petrograd movement. It's Sue
cess admittedly depends upon thn
behavior of the Russian troops whose
morale on this front Is now reported
TO be better than the earlier accounts
Of the retreat seemed to indicate.
The Italian campaign for Trieste II
being vigorously pushed in the face
Of vast concentration OF Austrian
infantry and artillery and General
Cadorna continues TO report prog
ress. 1t seems that the unofficial re-
ports OF the capture Of San Mounfe
Gabrielle, by the Italians were pre-
mature judging from the latest ad-
vices from the front. but the ulti-
mate reduction OF this last remain
ing stronghold of the Austrians ~
the Gorilla hills is accounted a cer-
tainty by the military writers IA
view of the steady Italian progress
through the protecting works.
