LIEUT., TREACEY A
TOKEN OF ESTEEM

Lieut. II. II. Treacy, who leaves this
evening for service with the national
army at Camp Custer Mich, last eve
ming was presented by the Bismarck
home guard with a handsome wrist
watch, purchased with contributions
from the guardsmen. in token of the
high esteem in which his fellow towns
men hold him, and as an evidence OF
appreciation for the good work which
Lieut. Treacy has done in drilling the

Capt. L. G. Wanner made the pre-

knowing that Bismarck folk were
thinking of him and backing him to

WINTER IN FLORIDA.
il" INSTEAD OF PRISON

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 22.--Katc Rich
ards O.Hare, convicted in the United
tatcs district court at Bismarck of Sc.
dition. and sentenced by Judge Wade
of Iowa to serve five years in the fed
eral prison at Jefferson City, Mo-, will
spend the winter in Florida instead,
the local TOwnley organ triumphantly
announces this morning.
From the same source it is learned
that several years will be required to
get Mrs. O'Hare's appeal through the
United States court, and that in the
meantime Mrs. O'Hare, having filed a
$500 appeal bond, will continue to
enjoy her liberty.
The Townley organ quotes Mrs.
O'Hare as saying: 81 could have got
any amount of bail here in North Da.
kota, but wished to spare them the
criticism they would have been sub
jected to under the present state Of
public mind
The Townley newspaper notes that
Seymour Stedman, we'll known Chica
go attorney, will be associated with
Attorney V. r. Lowell of Fargo in
the case from now on. "A demurrer
will be- made to the complaint in the
circuit court, and if this is overruled,
an appeal on this ruling will be taken
to the United States supreme cour:
If the supreme court upholds the cir.
cult court ruling, the case will then be
sent back to the latter tribunal for
trial. Several years will be required
to 60 through this procedure"
Mrs. O'Hare left last night for her
home in st. Louis, whence she will
proceed to Florida for the winter. The
filing of an appeal bond gave her per-
mission to leave the state.

SHIPPING SITUATION
IS GREATEST CRISIS

London, Sept 13.-It is learned
here that the entente governments
have agreed that the shipping situa
tion is the most serious problem of all
those facing the entente at the begin.
ming of the fourth winter OF the war
and every effort will be made during
the coming months to impress the
people of England and America with
the fact that the greatest effort of the
whole war will be necessary TO
solve it. A government official says
"As Britain's great effort of the
first year of the war was TO create a
huge army, as her great effort for the
second and third years was 10 create
an inexaustible supply of munitions
so the great effort of the fourth year
must be not only in Great Britain but
also in America to create merchant
navy to replace submarine losses and
supply the constantly increasing de
mands
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the shipping situation has not
grown serious through any increased
success of the German submarine war
fare. AS a matter of fact, the German
submarine war is being held dowr
very well and the average sinkings
show no increase either in ships oil
tonnage"
