j. S. Troops Guard
Piers in New York

Washington, Nov. 26.-Orders for
placing military guards at the Chelsea
and Southern Pacific piers in New
York harbor went to the commander
OF the eastern department today from
Secretary Baker This is in line with
the plan for using troops to enforce
the alien enemy proclamation along
important water fronts.
The military patrol will be extended
to other points on the New York water
front as rapidly as the places to be
guarded in this way are determined.
Regulars probably will be used for the
present until the proposed new federal
police force of semi-military charac-
ter can be substituted.
Brigadier-General Carter, in charge
Of the army's participation in the en-
forcement of the alien enemy law, ex-
planned today that the soldiers would
be posted in front of the piers only
and that police, watchmen and other
civilian guards would continue to
guard the piers themselves, The
troops will be instructed to keep en-
emy aliens or other persons without
proper credentials from passing
through their lines, or from coming
within 100 yards of the entrance of
the piers

France Gives War Cross
to Fifteen Americans

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 26.--The French war cross has
been conferred on the Is American Of
ticers and men who were cited with
their company by the French general
commanding the sector which the
Americans were holding at the time of
the first German raid on the night Of
Nov. 2-3. The men were decorated
today and were informed that they
must keep the medals in their posses.
sion, but must not wear them until
congress gives its authorization. The
ceremony was an impressive one..
An American major general present
ed the decorations and citations giving
the regimental colonel those for the
men who were killed. They will be
sent to their next of kin.
Tale Of Battle is RetoId
The French general in referring to
the action of this American company
said:
"On the night of Nov 2-3 this COM
pany which was in the line for the
first time, met an extremely violent
bombardment. despite which it seized
arms and offered such stubborn re-
sistance that the enemy, though num-
erically superior. was obliged to retire.
The general specially cited in the
order of the day Corporal James D.
Gresham and Privates Merle D. Hay
and Thomas F. Enright, "who died
bravely in hand to hand fighting with
the enemy, who had penetrated the
first line"
The others were Lieutenant W. H.
Mclaughlin, Lieutenant r. 0. Patter-
son; Lieutenant E. F. Erickson, Ser
geant John Arrowwood, Corporais
David NJ. Knowles and Homer Givens
and Privates Charles Massa, William
D. Thomas, George Hurd, Boyce Wade.
Robert Winkler and John J. Jarvis.
A recent offer by the British admir-
atty to decorate certain officers and
men of the two American destroyers
for their services in combating Ger
man submarines, was declined, accord
ing to the announcement of Secretary
Daniels, because the laws of this
country prevent soldiers and sailors
from receiving decorations from for
eign governments.

Way Cleared by British Tanks
Through a Maze Of Barbed Wire

British Army Headquarters in
France, Wednesday, Nov. 21.-The
present battle more than any other
in the western theater has taken on
the SAVIOR of fighting in other wars
when men struggled in the open and
cavalry made thrilling charges
against enemy guns. Many military
critics have long contendcd that
cavalry was thing of the last but
the mounted men have refuted this
claim.
Field Marshal Haig has clulg to
his horse troops throughout the
weary months of trench fighting. He
believed that some day he would
have a chance to use them and his
judgment has been vindicated.
Field Marshal F1aig's blow against
the Cambria front represents true
strategy. lie had hammered at The
enemy IN Flanders until they we're
worn out completely. lie had driven
them back as far as the mad. would
permit and had compelled them to
call on every ounce of strength they
had to maintain themselves. Then
he suddenly sprung his surprise at
tack in an unexpected quarter.
Strongest in West
The Hindenburg lines On the
Cambria front were the strongest
the Germans had laid out in the west
The enemy cons dered them impreg-
nable. Not only were they strongly
fortified but they were protected by
a deep belt of barbed wire, which it
was thought that only protracted
bomb2rdment by great concentrated
guns would cut sufIic emily to allow
the infantry to go through
British tanks had never before
been called upon for such extensive
work but they did in a few hours
what the artillery would have re-
uuired days to accomplish The Hin
denburg line was pierced absolutely
on wide front and to greater
depth than ever before
The correspondent today inspected
the main Hindenburg line near Hay-
rincCurt and saw the amazing work
done by the IRON monsters. In most
places they had no trouble either in
tearing through the wire or in cross
ing trenches. There were gaps in
the wire entanglements rod IN
width where not one vestige Of W.re
was left standing and by following
the tracks OF the tanks one could
see where they had trundled across

Inga Anderson Called
by Death Messenger

Dazcy Commercial: Early Monday
morning at the Great Northern depot
at Hannaford, Inga Anderson, the sew
en- year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Theo S. Anderson passed to the Great
Beyond.
She had been taken sick on Satur-
day evening and the doctor was called
but it was not thought that the ailment
WAS of a serious nature. However, as
she continued to grow aworses the doc
tor was again called on Sunday after
noon and the parents decided to. take
her to the hospital at Fargo. Accord
ingly she would be taken via Hanna
ford. The Great Northern train was
three hours late and did. not arrive
there until little after midnight As
she appeared to be sinking very fast.
The train was held while the Hanna
ford doctor was called to see, if she
would survive the trip. Just as the
physician arrived on the scene she
breathed her last. The Messenger had
sounded his call.
Tn funeral services were held on
Wednesday afternoon at the Lutheran
church in Dazey and interment was
made in the Dazey cemetery. Rev. NJ.
o. Dybvik conducted the services.
Inga Anderson was born on Feb. 20,
1910, and departed this life on Nov. 49,,
1917, being at the time of her death
7 years, months and 20 days old. She
leaves to mourn her loss besides her
father and mother, four sisters and
two brothers and a host of friends and
acquaintances all of whom will mourn
her untimely death.

Fix Paper Price

New York, Nov. 26.-News print
paper manufacturers representing IS
per cent of the print paper output
in the country. will sell news print
to publishers at three cents a pound
until April /, and after that at a
price fixed by the federal trade COM
mission, under an agreement reached
today between the government and
six or seven paper manufacturers
charged with violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
United States Judge Mayer signed
a decree under which the news print
manufacturers association, whose
executive committee included five of
the seven defendants. was dissolved.
This decree, however, does not take
away from the defendants the right
to cooperate between now and April
in placing facts before the federal
trade commission as a basis for the
price to be fixed.

Statement From Active
Red Cross Solicitors

We are part of great nation and
are engaged in a world war. The call
of our country came for men and our
county responded nobly; we went
over the top, furnished many more
than our quota. Calls have been made
for company mess funds, for the Lib
erty Loan, for the Army Y. M. c. A,
and for the Red Cross. The response
has been great and in each instance
we have oversubscribed. We have re-
ceived the approval and congratula-
tions of those making the call and ap-
parently all is well, but is it? Have
all subscribers to these in accordance
to their ability, or have we accepted
more than their portion from some
and permitted others to become slack
ers? Yes, such is the case; we have
men in our community who can well
afford to help in this work, but who
have refused or have given 50 st'ngl-
iy they might as we'll have refused.
Men who have prospered, who have
grown rich in our midst, now, in our
hour of trial they refuse their help.
Men who have not even the excuse
Of being a descendent from any Of the
warning powers opposed to us, claim
ing to be true Americans, wishing our
favors and refusing their aid. Is it
fair? If man refuses to carry his
share of the burden should he be en-
titled to equal consideration to the
man who responds to the call? There
IS no two ways during this time. They
must be either with us or against us.
Canvassers should place all PROPOSE
tions squarely, note objections and re-.
port to their superiors.

Under German Fire
Tie tanks, of course, went through
No Mans Land under the full obser-
vation of the German artillery and
while the gun fire was weak, some
fire was directed on the tanks as they
advanced. 1t was interesting to fol-
low the trail of the tanks and to see
where shells had struck all about,
apparently without doing any dam
age, for in this whole section the
con espcndent did not see ole tank

The condit on Of the German
trenches showed plainly that the oc-
cunants had abandoned them in a
hurry. All sorts Of equipment and
personal belongings strewed tho
ground.
Since the beginning Of the attack
the gunfre had been extremely
weak. No Mans Land showed COM
paratively few shell craters and this
morning the British guns were do
ing virtually all the firing along
most of the front involved. This is a

this was dealt with promptly

desperately today to regain a hold
Oh their rear positions. A particularly
desperate hand-to-hand engagement

wnen the infantry, accompanied by
tanks, stormed this place and drove
the Germans from it.
The fight about Flesqu eres be-
gan last night but it was not until
about 8 O'Clock today that the Brit
ISL made an organized assault on
the town. The tanks went ahead and
were engaged Immediately by seven
heavy German guns which began to
fire at them pointblank at short
range. It was critical moment, for

fire they cannot be exbepcted to stand

100000 Gien VIII Be Used by
u. 5. in War Against Spies

Washington, Nov. 21. - The most
complete machinery used for the pur-
pose by any nation will be establish
ed by the United States, it is said, to
enforce the presidents proclamation
to put down destruction of property
by enemy influences.
A force Of at least 100000 men will
be used.
Acting under the presidents direct
order, Secretary of War N. D. Baker
informed the bureau of military af-
fairs it would be the central organiza-
tion authorized to execute the plan for
watching the enemy aliens and en-
forcing the presidents proclamation.
These seasoned regular officers are
ordered to create a guard to protect
the prohibited area around ware.

forcement of the registration of Ger.
mans
.. Will Restrict Allied Foe
Regular army men will be used as
guards in some instances, but as far
as possible home guards, state con-
stabulary and municipal police will
be employed
Because Of the limitations of the
law, President Wilson's proclamation
yesterday restricting the freedom of
enemy aliens in the United States, Of
flcials admit, falls far short of being
sufficient to cope with enemy spies.
It's provisions are directed against
German male subjects only, while
their wives, mothers and sisters, as
we'll as Austrians, Turks and Bulgar-
ians subjects of countries allied with
Germany, are not affected.
An amendment to the espionage
statute already has been suggested to
the president, so as to give the presi-
dent authority to restrict all alien ell
emies and allied enemy aliens. An
amendment to the statute already has
been suggested by the president and
is being prepared by the department
of justice.
Restricting Women Favored
Officials point out that declaration
OF war against Germany's allies is not
necessary in order to adopt law re-
stricting the activity of allied enemy
aliens in the United States. AS far as
enemy. women are concerned, there is
no reason why they should not be re-
stricted just as male enemy aliens
are restricted.
With regard to the treatment of al
lied enemy aliens. congress already
has forbidden American citizens,
through the trading with the enemy
act, from commercial intercourse with
citizens. Of countries allied with Ger
many, In view Of this, officials de-
clare that the way is open for legis.
lation compelling citizens of nations
allied with Germany to- submit to reg
uiations governing their movements
and their conduct in the United
States
Offic ais DECLARE that the department
of justice will be andicapped if it is
unable to exclude from restricted
zones allied enemy aliens, whose SYM
pathies in many cases are bound to be
with Germany and their native coun-
try in the war.

Government to Operate
Roads If Necessary

Washington, Nov. 26.-Government
operation of the railroads during the
war loomed as an increasing possib!l-
ity today in the minds of officials who
with the railroad heads are trying to
work out a plan for relief of the east
ern traffic situation. Apparently it
is conceded that if the polling system
about to be undertaken by the rail-
roads themselves does not solve the
problem, the government will take
over the operation of the roads as one
system.
Vice presidents of the eastern lines
met here today with members OF the
railroad board and worked on details
for a general pooling in the east of as
much of the entire trackage and equip
ment as is considered practicable.
They named a committee to be put in
full charge Of the pool with A. w.
Thompson, vice president of the Bal
t'more & Ohio, as chairman. Other
members are C. R. Gray, president Of
the western Maryland; A. T. Dice.
president of the Philadelphia and
Reading; P. E. Crowley, vice presi-
dent Of the New York Central; Elisha
Lee, acting vice president af the Penn
sylvania lines (east); G. L. Peck, vice
president of the Pennsylvania lines
(west), and A. J. Stone, vice president
of the Erie.
Will Not Threaten Revenues
The committee will establish head
quarters in Pittsburgh and will sit
continuously until the present conges-
ton is cleared. It's first meeting will
be held there Wednesday,. The pool
ing plan calls for joint use of tracks,
locomotives, cars and employees in the
congested centers. It will not be per-
mitted to go so far, even the railroad
heads admit. as to threaten the reve-
nues of any line and this is the point
