FOOD PLEDGE
CARDS NEEDED

With but two days left before food
pledge week comes to a close, North
Dakota, according to latest available
figures at the office of the state food
administrator has secured only 1900
pledges, less than a fourth of the
number expected to be reached, 100,-
600.
Four thousand pledge cards, signed
by women of the state poured into
the state administrators office this
morning.
Fargo housewives and workers are
doing their share. From 239 regis
tered cards received at noon Wednes-
day, this number was increased to
1000 this afternoon.
THE larger cities OF the state are
not responding in the manner they
should" said Robert o. Baird of the
chemistry department of the agricul-
tural college. who has supervision
over the food pledge cards during
the absence Of DR.. Ladd. The only
cities that have reported are Graf
ton, Mandan, Grand Forks, Dickin-
son, Devils Lake, Killdeer and Ellen
dale. Such cities as Bismarck, Wah
peton, Hillsboro, Hope and James
town have not reported"
Between 20 and 25 kilograms will
be sent out to the latter cities and
other towns this evening telling the
various chairmen to exert themselves
to the limit in getting the citizens to
sign the cards.
Mr.. Baird stated that If any of
the chairmen over the state were
holding cards until the close OF the
campaign that they should not wait
until the last day TO send them into
the state headquarters but should
report Immediately.

WHEN DREAMS CONE TRUE
HAS PLEASING FEATURES

When Dreams Come True, which
opened a two-day engagement a. the
Orpheum last evening, pleased a well
filled house with its tuneful songs and
amusing lines. The play Will be re
peated tonight.
The first act affords little opportunity
for the cast, but the second and third
acts are exceedingly good, and really
worth while. While there are no
strikingly good voices, the work by
the leads is very acceptable, and
their songs pleasing.
Carry Glenn, as Mathilda, who as
"a black-on-white", comes in for a
big share of the applause once she
gets into action, and her dancing VAtD
Harlan Briggs is really clever, and
exceedingly unique.
Briggs, as Hercules Strong. the de-
tective, wins favor with the audience
as the performance grows older, and
al the finish his work is of such type
as to win merited applause.

Residents Of
Berlin SILVER in
Unheated Rooms
CBy Associated Press /

Copenhagen. Nov. According to
The Vorwaerts, Of Berlin, many resi-
dents Of that city are shivering in I'M
heated homes, owing to their inability
to obtain even the scanty allowance of
quarter OF ton of coal per room.
Full delivery was promised by Nov
ember l, but now the only hope ex-
pressed is that it may be all deliv-
cred by the new year.
Lines OF persons waiting to pur-
chase coal are now a regular fea-
ture of life in Berlin. Buyers are
compelled to stand in line all day to
obtain q few scoopsful, which they
have to carry home themselves. To
the scantily clad and miserable shod
women and children Of the poor this
is a severe strain.
The Berliner's one storage egg,
which is a three weeks allowance,
will cost him twelve cents in Novem-
Der. The authorities advise that 1t
be eaten quickly.
A retail price Of 50 a pound has
been fixed for sausages made Of liver
from chicken and game.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Omcial cable
grams received here today describe q
remarkable scene in the Austrian
reichsrath Oct. %, showing the dis
affection of the numerous Czech ele-
ments which has given the Austrian
government great concern. The pres

nouncement of the great Austro-
German victory over the Italians on
the Bainsizza plateau and called for
cheers for the Austrian army. Not a
single Czech responded and members
of the party sat in sullen silence to
the great indignation and dismay of
the Germanic elements.

"Bsokon to Italian Frent."


London, Nov. 1.-The military cor
respondent Of The Times says Of the
Italian operations:
THE fact that General Won Buelow,
with an inconsiderable force of Ger
man troops, has burst through the
Julian front and that Austrian col
unns have found other badly de-
Tended points in the Carnic Alps is
certainly very unfortunate and we
have no need to minimize the gravA
ity of the situation. Italy's eastern
frontier temporarily IL lost"
The correspondent finds q silver
lining to the cloud in that, although
the season approaches for the opera
tions in France and Flanders to die
down, there is nothing to prevent
fighting on the Italian plains
throughout the winter. This is adj
to the side with the
greater resources. He adds:
