Grand Forks, N. D., July 12.-Burt.
ness headquarters have conceded the
election of John M. Baer as congress-
man in the special election in the
First district by 1900 plurality.
The vote cast was but about go
per cent of the normal, owing partly
to the rains throughout large portion
of the day and partly to apathy.
Baer, cartoonist, is former Dem
ocratfc, but ran on non-partisan
ticket, supported by the Non-Partisan
league, an organization composed of
farmers with national headquarters in
st. Paul. His opponent was Olger B.
Burtness, Republican.
Before going to Fargo, Baer was
postmaster at Beach, N. D., having
been appointed by President Wilson.
He resigned the postmastership to be-
come cartoonist for the Non-Partisan
Leader, the leagues official organ.

Washington, July II. = A billion

the response American farmers have
made to President Wilson's rhid-April

The extent of the farmers response

DRY BILL MAY Be REVISED
PREDICTION OF CHANGES IN
MEASURE Is MADE.
Government Control of Iron, Steel and
Cotton StubbornIy Protested
Cloture Motion Considered.

Washington, July IA recurrence
of opposition to prohibition legislation
written into the food control bill, to-
gether with stubborn protests against
the proposals for government regula-
ton of the iron, steel, cotton and other
industries, have completely upset the
plans of Senate leaders and promised
to force important revision of the
measure.
Failing again to secure unanimous
consent for limiting debate or setting
time for vote, the leaders submit
ted the motion to invoke for the first
time the Senate cloture rule. They
also arranged Democratic steering
committee meeting to draft changes
in the bill to make sure it will not
be defeated when a final vote is Sc.
cured.
CIoture Motion Gone Over.
The cloture motion, submitted by
Senator Chamberlain as manager of
the bill, went over under the rules.
1t bears the signatures of 81 Senators,
all but three of them Democrats. For
its adoption a two-thirds vote will be
required. Before it comes up, how
ever, the Democratic leaders hope to
effect such changes as will satisfy the
bills opponents.
In open debate and in many private
conferences opposition grew against
the measure. Criticism was directed
particularly against Senator Shoots
amendment, providing for government
purchase of all distilled spirits in
bonded warehouses.

CHANCE TO BE BLIND IN
SELECTING DRAFT ARMY
Numbers In Tiny Capsules to Be Drawn

Announcement Expected.

Washington, July 11.-Chance will
be blind in selecting the new national
army to fight Germany.
The patriot who most desires to go
to the war may be passed when the
day for drawing comes, and he who
hopes most that the tiny capsule con-
tanning his number may not prove q
bitter pill'' and fall into the hand
of chance, may find he has been called
to the colors.
While all the regulations to govern
the forthcoming army lottery have not
been announced, it has been learned
that the numbers Of registered citi-
zens are to be drawn by a person
blindfolded. Who has been selected
to do the drawing is not known, but
it probably will be some officer of
the army.

Bridgehead-cavalry Pursu-

London, July 12.-HalicZ, the stra-
tegic key to Lemberg, capital of Cali
cia, has been captured by the Rus
slams, says a dispatch from Reuters
Petrograd correspondent.
Since the Halicz offensive began, the
Teutons have been forced back 16
miles. The Russians have driven a
20-mile wedge into the Austro-German
line of 20-mile front between Halicz
and the Carpathians.
Petrograd, July 11.-General Kor-
niloff's operations in Galicia along a
front of 20 miles have broken the Aus
tro-German front between Halicz and
the Carpathians and already the Rus
sian cavalry has pressed forward for
distance of 16 miles.
To the west of the Dniester, as
result of the Russian forward move
ment, Halicz has been hemmed in
from the south and southwest and
the Russians now are menacing the
Halicz bridgehead.
Take $4,000 Prisoners in Week.
From July 2 to s inclusive, General
Korniloff took $4,000 prisoners and SIS
guns, of which II were heavy pieces.
General Korniloff's cavalry and Co.'S
sacks are pursuing General Kirbach's
retiring army south of Halicz and
have forced the River Lukovitza,
which parallels the Luvka river The
western bank of the Luvka dominates
the wooded eastern bank, but it is
considered unlikely that the democrat
lied Austrian army can concentrate
sufficient troops to prevent Russian
passage of the river and a continu-
ance Of the advance in the direction
of Dolina, So miles west of Stanislau.
The cooperation of the Seventh and,
Eleventh armies north of Halicz with
the Eighth army south of that town
has been like clock-work.
Austrians and Germans Are Separated.
The success of the Eighth army,
the military critic of the Reich points
out, separates the German army of
General Won Bothmer from the Third
Austrian army under General KirbacA,
and anticipates the evacuation Of Hal
icz, which is not strictly fortress,
but a strong bridgehead protecting the
positions of Gen. Won Bothmer's ar
my from the east and southeast.

Washington, July 1.-THE last step

the issue of a proclamation drafting

To make certain that the purpose of

was necessary to provide for move

organized for war purposes have been
selected and the military bureau is
preparing the railway routing for the
