FALL OF BAGDAD
ENDS aERMANY's DREAM

London, March 11.-Bagdad, the
chief Turkish city in Mesopotamia and
formerly the capital of the empire of
the Caliphs, has been captured by the
British forces. Announcement of the
capitulation of this city was made this
evening by the official press bureau on
receipt of telegram from General
Maude, saying the British forces had
occupied Bagdad early Sunday morn
ing. No details were contained in Gen.
eral Maude's dispatch.
During the day the following official
report was received concerning opera.
tions against Bagdad, carrying them
up to Saturday morning, when the uks
had been forced back within three
miles west and southwest of the city.
"Our forces engaged with the Turks
on the Diala line the night of the
eighth, succeeding, despite the bright
moon light, in effecting surprise
crossing of the Dala and establishing
a strong post on the right bank there
Of Meanwhile on the morning of the
eighth, the Tigris having been bridged,
at some distance down stream. Brit
ish' detachment marched up the right
bank and found the enemy holding a
position about six miles southwest of
Bagdad
"The enemy was driven from this
position to another position two miles
in the rear. During the night of the
ninth a passage of the Diala was
forced and our troops advanced some
four miles toward Bagdad.
"During the ninth our forces on the
hight bank of the Tigris drove The
enemy from his second position, biv.
ouacing on the ground gained This
advantage, Notwithstanding a binding
dust storm and violent gale, was
pressed on the morning of the tenth.
the Turks being pushed back to within
three miles west and southwest of
Bagdad.' -
The fall of Bagdad, besides ending
German hopes of Near Eastern domin-
ion based on a Berlin-Bagdad railroad,
will reverberate throughout the Mo.
hammedan empire and. it is believed
will more than rehabilitate British
prestige in the Far East, damaged by
the earlier loss of Kut-tl- -Amara.
Perhaps no more welcome news could
come at time when the British public
for the first time. owing to the sub
marine war, is beginning to feel the
effects of the war in greatly reduced
food supply besides being thrown intr
depression by the revelations Of th'
Dardenelles report. Further news
must be awaited before it is know
whether General Maude made import
ant captures of Turkish troops ol
guns, either before or at Bagdad.

In ten years more there will be more

prospect of being an object of charity

One of the hindrances in church

fact that congregation soon grows

GIRLS! BEAUTIFY
YOUR HAIR and
STOP DANDRUFF
HAIR BECOMES CHARMING, WAvY,
LuSTRoUS AND THICK IN
FEW MOMENTS.
EVERY BIT OF DANDRUFF DISAP-
PEARS AND HAIR STOPS
COMING OUT.

For 20 cents you can save your hair.
In less than ten minutes you can dou-
BILE its beauty. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap-
pears as soft, lustrous and charming
as young girls after applying some
Danderine. Also try this-moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust dirt
or excessive oil, and in just few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty of
your hair. A delightful surprise
awaits those whose hair has been neg
lected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle
or thin. Besides identifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
daadruff; cleanses, purities and inyig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair
fine and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair growing all over the scalp.
If you care for pretty, soft hair, and
lots of it, surely get ascent bottle
of Knowlton's Danderine from any
drug store or toilet counter and just
try it.-Advt,

IMMIGRATION
BILL ADVANCED
1Bx Associated Press.l


Washington, Jan. 9.-Freed of Ian
guage objected to by the state depart
ment because it was offensive to Japan
the long discussed immigration bill
was agreed upon by conference
committee of the two houses and the
senate promptly adopted the confer
ence report by vote of 56 to 10. The
house is expected to act favorably
Thursday and send the bill, to the
president.
AS originally passed the bill con-
tanned provision designed to exclude
Japanese in the event of abrogation of
the so-called gentlemen's agreement,
under which Japan for ten years has
prevented her laborers from coming
to the United States and so expressed
as to make it clear that that agree
ment was referred to. The Japanese
embassy called the attention of the
state department to the fact that it's
government had rigidly observed it's
agreement and let it be known that
the proposed provision was offensive.
The senate changed the language but
failed to meet objections urged by the
state department.
A subsert finally inserted by the
conferees, says: mo alien now in any
way excluded or prevented from en-
tering the United States shall be ad-
mitted to the United States"
This sentence, sufficiently direct to
satisfy Pacific coast legislators, who
insisted on some such provision is
regarded as broad enough to safe
guard against objection from any for
eign government. 1t is added to the
section designed to effect exclusion of
Hindus and other Asiatics by prescrib- |
ing a geographical area from which |
shall not be admitted.

FAIR AND WARMER"

Fair and Warmer. Avery Hopwood's
celebrated farce which has kept New
laughter for one year, and which has
had its fame spread for it by thou
sands of out-of-town visitors, and by
hundreds of out-of-town newspapers
whose New York correspondents have
recommended it without reserve, will
be presented by Selwyn & Co. at the
Fargo auditorium on Thursday eve
ming.
This extraordinary farce, which
broke all records both as a money
maker and a laugh-maker, in its years
run at the Eltinge theatre, is the very
finest and funniest thing Avery Hop
wood ever wrote. which, concerning
the author of Seven Days and Nobody.s
Widow, is very fullsome praise. 1t will
be presented here with an excellent
cast of farceurs.

GAME
BOARD
REPORT
Commission Makes Great
Showing During the Past
Biennial Period
FINANCES ARE BOOSTED
With Account in the Red in
1913, There is Now Over
$4,000 in the Fund

Again this year Ward county leads
| the counties of the state in the num-
Der of hunting licenses sold, accord
! ing to the annual report of the Game
and Fish commission which has just
been completed. This makes two
years in succession that this county
has led the state.
Cass county stands second in the
number of licenses issued. Last year
there were 2,063 licenses in this coun-
ty as against 2,010 in 1915. Ward
county sold 1857 licenses during the
last hunting season and zoos in 1915.
Stutsman county stands third in the
list with 1898 the past year as against
1926 in 1915.
Wonderful Increase.
The report shows that last season
there was a total Of S9,54O licenses is
sued in the state with 100 non-resi-
dent licenses as against 36,3S3 and
107 nonresident licenses in 1915.
1t. is interesting to note the Won
derful improvement that has been
made in the finances of the game
and fish board and in the number of
arrests and convictions since 1913.
There is now $40,379.56 on hand in
the treasury Of the commission. a most
remarkable showing, as when the BIZ
ennial period of 1913 was started there
after outstanding claims had been al
lowed.
In the matter of arrests and convic-
tions for violations of the game laws
there has been splendid showing
made by the board. Great credit
should be given the members of the
board and the splendid corps of war
dens and deputies that have been
kept busy constantly.
nj IF l.
IL there were 20 arrests and 20 con-
victions. In 1894 there were 173
arrests and 1916 convictions while in
1915-16 there was a total of 261 ar
rests and 245 convictions. Not one
case was lost, 16 cases only being dis
missed. The total fines amounted to
$4,000 in round numbers for the year.
In the matter of finances there will
also be a considerable increase as no
report was made for the trappers'
licenses issued during 1916 for the
reason that the season does not close
until April Is of this year. The board
anticipates an increase of 100 per cent
in the number Of licenses issued over
the year 1915.
Mccutcheon After Crows.
In the report of E. B. McCutcheon,
chief game warden for the first dis
trict of the state, attention is
CdlleO 10 the udL1dS0 ludI mas D6Ou
done prairie chickens by crows, which
the warden characterizes as veritable
pests. In this report he says:
"One of the great pests we have in
relation to increased propagation of
prairie chickens is the crow. l have
made sufficient investigation to per-
sonally substantiate this statement.
An effort should be made to set apart
the last week in May Of each year
for special efforts, not only by war
dens but by the sportsmen and the |
public in general, to shoot or kill these |
birds and destroy their nests, and |
thus head off the terrific toll that they |
are taking each season from our game |
birds. These pirates seem to have in |
due to the past few years of |
protection of birds in general.

HE LET THE BULLET STAY.
How Garibadrs Leg Was Saved and
His Health Restored.

Half century ago il was the belief
Of most surgeons that bullets lodged in
any part of the body should he probed
for and "cXtructcd at all hazards
The modern surgeon, who is able TO 10
cate bullets with mathematical accu-
racy with the N-ray, often allows the
bullet TO remain where it has lodged
unless there is some very special rea-
son for digging 1t out. And results
prove the wisdom Of the modern sur
geOns attitude.
1t is an interesting bit OF history that
a famous Russian surgeon advocated
ana practiccd the conservative method
of letting impactcd bullets alone more
than lifty years ago and by this method
undoubtedly saved the life of the ltal-
ian patriot Garbaldi. The great sol
dicr. wounded I'm the ri-ht leg and cap
turcd at the battle Of Aspramonte, was
placed under the care Of several Euro
pean surgeons. who tried unsuccessful-
ly to remove the bullet.
At that time the Russian surgeon Pl-
rogoff was stopping in Heidelberg, and
the Russian students at that university
raised the sum of 1900 francs to in
ducc the surgeon 10 examine GariDaldl
pirogorr refused the fee, but he visited
the patriot examined his wound and.
contrary to the opinions of all the other
surgeons, advised letting the bullet
alone. He suggested removal TO n dry
climate with plenty Of fresh air and
sunshine. g'he soldier took his advice,
moved into dry climate and recov-
