BERLIN SEES NO HOPE
OF PEACE AT PRESENT

Amsterdam, Aug. 23.-Berlin sees
no present hope of peace, despite Pope
Benedict's plea.
Dispatches indicate this pessimistic
view by the public following Chancel-
lor Michaelis' speech to the main COM
mittee of the reichstag.
The enemy's war aims prove their
desire to annihilate Germany" Mich
aelis was quoted as saying. therefore
no present desire for peace exists,
"Up to the present there has been
no opportunity to deliberate with u
allies regarding the pope's note. There
is no doubt of the honesty impelling
the note and therefore | would regard
it sympathetically."
Michaelis denied that the pope's
note had been inspired by the cen
tral powers.
In conclusion the chancellor said
Germany's alliance with Austro-Hun-
gary is stronger than ever.

WORKS AROUSES IRE
OF CAL|FORN|ANS

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 28.-In Q
public meeting at Orange, j. d. Works
OF Los Angeles. former United States
senator from California. was openly
denounced as a traitor. The meeting
was held for the purpose OF forming
a branch Of the Peoples council.
Mr.. Works declared the United
States was In error In entering the
war; that this country should never
have permitted the sale OF munitions
/ any OF the European powers and
that the country should never have
taken the stand 1t has.
Your remarks are reasonable"
shouted a stranger In the audience.
and no man with true American blood
in his veins will sit here and listen
to such reasonable utterances."
In an instant several men were on
their feet, +. A. Blake, prominent in
local Red Cross work, made himself
heard.
"Your actions in and out OF cor
gress," said he to Mr.. Works, have
been antagonistic to the government.
We do not have to 20 back to the rec
ords OF congress to find where you
stand. Your remarks are in direct
conflict with the word passed out by
Attorney General Gregory, who said
If your sentiment Is not with the gov.
eminent, obey the law and keep your
mouth shut !, therefore, brand your
remarks to be t%raitorous and lending
aid to the enemy"

PRICE OF WHEAT

Farmers Object to Kate Of

QUANME WILL PROTEST

Goes to Washington at Request OF
Farmers and Merchants Of North

st. Paul, Aug. 23.--The Northwest
faces untold loss If a price of $1.65 a
bushel for wheat on the Chicago ter
minal Is set by the price fixing com
mission headed by Harry A. Garfield
at Washington, according to the mes
sag hat f. G. Quamme, president OF
the ST. Paul Farm Land bank has
taken to Washington. He will appear
before the price fixing commission at
the request of farmers and merchants
OF the Northwest to urge a more equit-
able price.
Special arrangement for his appear
sion has been made through Herbert
G. Hoover, food administrator, and w.
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury.

and by scores Of kilograms received
from men who believed he, knowing
the financial condition of the North
west, would be the best man for the
purpose.
Low Price Means Ruin"
J. p. Finch OF Fargo came to st.
Paul to urge Mr.. Quamme to repre-
commission.
An arbitrary price Of $1.65 a
bushel for wheat on the Chicago mar
ket, as suggested by Mr.. Hoover.
spells ruin to the farmers OF North
Dakota" Mr.. Finch said. The aver
age yield an acre in North Dakota
will not be more than five bushels. In
view of seed at SO a bushel the past
spring and the increased cost OF ma
chinery and labor farmers will not
break even at the price suggested by
Mr.. Hoover.
Last spring farmers of the North
west were encouraged by the govern
ment to increase their acreage, which
we did, being assured that the price,
which was then SO a bushel, would
prevail.
I'VE consider this an act of discrim-
nation, inasmuch as the winter wheat
producers of the Southern states dis
posed of their wheat for So a bushel.
Wheat at $1.65 a bushel on the Chi
cago terminal means $135 or s1.40 for
wheat in North Dakota

ITALIANS BREAK LINES
Austrian Official Report Admits Loss
Of SeIo, on the Carso Front, and of
Territory Below Auzza, on the Ison-
20 South Of Tolmino.

London, Aug. 23.-Another Of the
rapid succession Of blows which the
British and French are striking at var
ious points along the Franco Belgian
front fell during the morning on the
Germans in the region of Ypres, where
the British were held up last week
in their drive in conjunction with the
French forces to the north. At dawn
the British advanced over the fiercely
contested fields between Langemarck
and Frezenberg. No details of the
new battle have been received thus far.
The importance of these positions is
shown by the desperate counter at
tacks last week by the Germans after
the Irish troops had made consider
able Roadway.
Sharp fighting continues around the
coal mining center of Lens, in the out
skirts OF which the British are max.
ing progress in spite of the determined
resistance of the Germans. Counter
attacks during the night failed to
shake the British from their new posi-.
tons and further gains at some points
are reported officially from London.
The Germans continued their efforts
TO recapture ground gained by the new
French offensive on the Verdun front
Heavy counter attacks were made on
both sides OF the Mouse and although
the Germans were able TO gain a foot
ing temporarily in the new French po-
sitions at points they were soon driven
out. The number Of prisoners taken
by the French has reached GIG.
Vienna Comedies Retreat.
Vienna comedies hat the Italians
have forced back the Austrians at
some points in the new battle of the

mouth Of the Humber.
The Germans have begun an often
sive on the northern part of the Rus
sian line between the Tirul marshes
and the River Aa, P%etrograd an

The Russians have retired a mile or
two northward between the marshes
and the river.
If the fighting now under way de
velops into a sustained attack the first
objective of the Germans undoubtedly
will be the important Russian port Of
Riga. Possession of this city would be
of immense advantage to the Germans
in land or sea operations against the
Russian northern flank.

the Y. w. C. A., in speaking before
the student body of the State Normal
college Sunday night, said that Sin
another city there are LOO little
girl mothers as a direct result Of a
training camp for the duration of
six months" That's a frightful IN
dictment against an army camp
where soldiers are in training for
this war that is "to make the world
safe for democracy. It is cumula-
tive evidence that Greensboro didn't
lose anything when it lost an army
camp-Greensboro News.
Isn't it also "a frightful indict-
ment" against the home training Of
the girls? Girls who are properly
trained at home and who are not
permitted to run at large at will,
without protection, do not fall so
easily. When one observes the free
and easy manners Of so many of the
modern girls, the freedom with which
they go about alone, even at night,
it is apparent that they are offering
themselves, innocently of course, as
the prey of the INSCRIPTIONS. This
is not offered as an excuse for the
guilty men. The sympathy here is
with the woman who falls. But she
must share in the fault if by her con-
duct she puts herself in the way; and
the mothers who neglect the home
training; and the mothers, fathers
and brothers who permit daughters
and sisters to go at will, into the COM
pany of men they know nothing about,
must share the greatest responsible
ity.

all Of it's phases among men; saving
our young men in the camps and
trenches; spreading the gospel in the
land carrying civilization into the
dark corners Of earth.
