Reception for Rev. and Mrs. Geer.
On~the evening of Oct. 25th, in the
parlors of the Methodist church,
reception was given in honor of Rev.
and Mrs. Geer.
MIR. Wasenius, in few remarks,
expressed the pleasure Of the members
of the church in the return of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geer to our community for at
least another year, and said the people
certainly have reason to appreciate the
services of their pastor and his gra-
cious wife. A few musical numbers
concluded the informal program. Dur
ing the remainder of the evening
games were played, light refreshments
were served, and altogether it was a.
very enjoyable occasion.

Tom Yotten Gets the Thieves.

A car driven by Leonard Wicklund,
who was on his way from Grandy to
Princeton on Sunday night "died"
about a mile north of Geo. Schmidt's
place and Mr.. Wicklund secured an
other machine and returned to his
home. Upon returning on Monday to
haul back his car he found that the
engine, generator, tires, cushions and
tools had been stolen.
On Wednesday Deputy Sheriff Tom
Yotten, having executed some detec-
tive work and received information
from a certain party, sWore out a
search warrant for the premises of M.
B. Cater, and he and Marshal King dis
covered the stolen property in Mr..
Caters hay loft. simultaneously
Sheriff johnson of Cambridge searched
the Dehn premises in his county but
found nothing.
However, upon information fur
nished by Mr.. Cater, Ernest and
Richard Dehn were arrested, charged
with grand larceny in the second de-
gree. Mr.. Cater was also arrested
upon charge Of concealing stolen
property.
Upon preliminary examination be-
fore Justice King last evening the
Dehns admitted the offense as charged
IN the complaint and entered plea Of
guilty, but the justice, having no juris-
diction in. the case. bound them over to
the district court in the sum Of $1,000
each and they were turned over to the
sheriff. AS the law permits prisoners
in such cases who plead guilty to be.
sentenced by the district judge without
trial, the Dehns will be taken before
Judge Roeser in st. Cloud probably
tomorrow to receive such sentence.
M. B. Cater pleaded not guilty to the
ofense charged and was bound over

Given in His Honor.
Twenty Thousand Troops Now in
Camp and a Fine Collection
of High-Powered Mules.

Special to the Union: .
Camp Cody, Deming, NJ. M, Oct.
25.-A visitor to Camp Cody these
days would certainly conclude that
Uncle Sam is in deadly earnest. In
tensive drill started Monday through
out the camp, and the men are kept
moving right briskly.
The artillery equipment has not ar
rived yet, but the battery men are
learning the formations, and will know
their positions when the engines OF
destruction arrive. \ Then, too, there
are five school periods a day, and drill
is preceding very satisfactorily.
Governor Burnquist visited us on
Friday, and it seemed good to see
someone from Minnesota. The COVER
nor delivered short speech, and as
sured the men that all Of Minnesota is
behind them. The officers attended a
reception for Minnesota's chief ex-
ecutive that evening.
The Liberty loan campaign is pro-
ceedingly very satisfactorily here, and
at last reports the total was $780,
$50. Yesterday was Liberty loan day
and the probabilities are that the total
was greatly increased. The 125th
artillery regiment is now in second
place, but we hope to reach the top be-
fore the end.
& Battery A is now equipped with
horses, while the supply company has
a few mules on hand. Some Of these
long cared animals act as if they had
never seen a man, and Horseshoers

WAR SUMMARY

Indications point to an early re- sumption of operations on grand scale in Belgium and France if, indeed they have not already begun in Elan ders and Champagne. A significant statement in the latest Berlin official communication says that in Flanders and Champagne the fighting activity has been revived at several points,"
 Aside from this there is no informa- ton as to the exact state of affairs. In Champagne the Germans have made an attempt to recapture positions be- tween Mont Blond and Mont Carnillet taken by the French, Monday, but met with repulse, suffering heavy cas- ualties. To the northwest. around Craonne, heavy artillery duels are be- ing fought.
 The situation in Flanders is even more obscure, as neither the British nor French statements tend to clarify the German report of the recommence- ment of hostilities. Artillery duels of great intensity are known to have been in progress between Boesinghe and Frelinghisen and in the regions of Streenstraete and Hetsas.
 Troops Pouring In.
 The Macedonian theatre also prom ises early developments on a large scale. While along the line where Gen. eral SarraiPs forces are fighting the Teutonic allies near the Greece-Ser- bian border the reports show only ar- tillery duels to be in progress, the en- tente commander still is pouring men into Thessaly and occupying import ant localities. Another indication that the Greeks are turning toward the en- tente cause is shown by the fact that considerable quantities of arms and ammunitions have been surrendered by the populations of invested towns and villages.
 Again the Austrians have endeavor- ed to dislodge the Italians from posi- tions northeast of Jamiano in the Car so sector of the Austro-Italian theatre. A surprise attack has been repulsed with severe losses in men killed and made prisoner. On Monte Rombon. however, the Austrians were more suc- cessful in an attack, capturing advane- ed positions of the Italians on the southeastern slopes of the mountain.
 Crisis In Austria.
 A high honor has been conferred on Vice Admiral Sims of the United States navy, commander-in-chief of the American naval forces in the war zone. The British admiralty announc- es that during the absence of the Brit sh commander-in-chief on the coast of Ireland, Vice Admiral Sims has hoisted his flag as the allied senior of ficer in charge of operations in Irish waters.
 Advices from Denmark, Switzerland and Holland indicated cabinet crisis in Austria by reason of the fact that the Poles in the Reichsrat, seeking the downfall of Premier Clam-Martinic, and also the foreign minister, Count Czernin, have refused to vote the Aus trian budget,
 Another steamer, the Standard Oil tanker John D. Archbold, has been sunk by an enemy submarine. It is believed that three members of the crew were lost in the disaster which occurred when the vessel was two days out from France bound for Bos- ton.
