ture for discussion at the annual con-
vention of the National Association
of Amateur Oarsmen at the New York

ing Near and plans considered for the

N. D. LEAGUE HAS QUIT

Minot, N. D., July 26.-The Minot
baseball team disbanded yesterday,
causing the Suspension Of the North
Dakota league. It is understood Will
liston has also d~isbanded. The peo-
pies attention is fixed on patriotic en-
terprises and the directors sought to
remove the ball attraction in hopes Of
aiding various patriotic funds. The
directors promised players to retain
an Independent team, but the numer-
Gus calls for money cut down the
crowds and the players suggested dis
banding rather than accept salaries
for playing to poor crowds.

would serve the selfish purposes Of
their masters in Mexico, he says.
Palavicini rendered a public serv-
ice when he discovered and laid bare
the ource of German propaganda
money that was used In Mexico, and
again when he exposed the activities
of Teuton plotters In the oil fields and
set forth the dangers thereof as pos
sible blights upon the reconstructive
progress of the republic. Day after
day he drove home to his readers the
contention that only by keeping the
good will Of the United States as
against that of other powers, notably
Germany, could Mexico hope to make
the advancement 1t desires. He has
made great Roadway with this slogan,
and today he Is referred to as one of
Mexico's ~trustworthy prophets. Even
those who are his rivals In politics at
home now are passing o N to others
the gospel which he preached so
eloquenfly. Mexico needs more men
like Palayicini.

Chicago, July 26-ConservatiYe
people in the coarse grain trade are
bearish but they are not advocating
sales on the sharp breaks, believing
that there will be enough bulges on
which to sell. The extreme bearish-
ness Of the trade in general is looked
upon by conservatives as being the
sustaining factor in the market as the
heavy overseeing on breaks andt
limited hedging pressure in corn,
especially caused the bears to take
fright every little while and their
covering makes the bulges. This was
especially noticeable by observers yes
terday when all the news was bear

Railroad laborers and fierce fight

the Pershing expedition OF American
troops to France, II you'll believe a
copy Of the German Newspaper, Yes
siche zeitunE, which has just reached
Washington.
According to this paper, which has
a wide circulation through Germany,
women are being enlisted in the
American aviation corps and coast ar
tillery, and department store girls are
training In the manual Of arms as an
advertising Joke.
The same paper says Americans In
France are writing home that France
is starving because she can not pillow
her land and that American farmers
are needed worse than soldiers.
1T Is significant of the American
conception of war" the paper states
with great seriousness, "that several
women succeeded in being accepted
for service in the flying corps. In
for the coast artillery to have charge
of signaling"
OF the department store training
corps, the paper says:
For an explanation the stores poiht
to the possibility of these female
armies having to maintain order all
over the country. All German-Amer-
leans are suspected and the remain
der of the population is systematically
incensed against them"
by the way" the article ends,
'-even now an important part Of Per
shing'S army consists Of laborers
only; go-called pioneer regiments be-
long to the division They are moth
ing else but railroad lAborers only
enlisted to rebuild the destroyed rail-
roads OF France.
AN interesting detail is the fact
that American troops carry many
well-trained dogs who are to attack
