is assumed that coincident with the
calling out of the new army orders
to recruit the regulars and guardsmen
to full strength will go out. Whether
that will be done by voluntary enlist
ment or by draft has not been dis
closed.
Army officers say 100000 is the
maximum number they can train at
once. Three million trained men is
the number urged by the general
staff. The need of using the present
regulars for training purposes, say
members of the general staff, means
that the sending of an expeditionary
force to Europe would be military
suicide"

New York-The Times says: The
market acted as though waiting to
learn whether congress would handle
vigorously the work for which it has
been called into extra session. The
prompt reelection Of the speaker of
the house was accepted as proof that
there was determination among
leaders OF the houses and among the
membership generally to be prepared
as rapidly as possible for the serious
task which was to be suggested by
President Wilson. That was taken as
a sign Of announcement and the mar
ket rose in many stocks. No doubt
much of the buying represented short
covering and was prompted by the
conclusion reached by many shorts
that the decline which had been look
ed for upon actual declaration Of war
was not likely to come about. So far
prevailing Judgment appears to be
that even If profits are much reduced
on government business the aggregate
earnings Of corporations nevertheless
will continue to be satisfactory. The
street has not vet proceeded to the
point of basing any Of it's calculations
on the assumption of drastic excess
profits tax. Interest will become keen
er than ever in the plans which the
government will make for the financ-
ing Of its part Of the war. 1t is evil
dent that the street feels confidently
that the money market will be able to
care for the government needs and for
other demands as well.

HANNAH FARMER AND
TEAM FREEZE TO DEATH

Andrew Fruck, aged 4S, living seven
miles from Hannah, was frozen during
fierce snowstorm few days ago.
Mr. Fruck was moving with his
wife, five children and horses to a
new farm when they were overtaken
by the blizzard He got within a mile
and one-half of his destination and
left his wife and children at a nearby
farmhouse when the fury of the storm
increased, continuing on the trip with
just his horses.
He managed to travel about a mile
and one-half but was forced to turn
around and started back for the farm
where he left his wife and children.
In the binding storm he could not see
the house, although he passed within
40 rods of it. Leaving his coat on the
sled, he turned the extra horses loose,
but apparently could not get back to
it. His body and the dead bodies of
the team harnessed to the sled were
found the following morning only a
short distance from the farmhouse.
This unfortunate accident occurred
three miles from the town of Han
nah.

assisting at the company's attractive
display at the show. A number of or
ders have been taken and on every
hand dealers are jubilant over the am
cunt of business that is being done
during the present week. f. C. Up

brother of F. c. Upton, are the mem
bers of the Minot Motor Sales Co.,
Mr.. A. Upton coming here from Bis
marck but recently.
The Oldsmobile is an especially
beautiful car and one of the most dur
able manufactured. The motor car
industry and the Oldsmobile started
together nearly twenty years ago and
the Oldsmobile has never compromis-
ed, never departed an. inch from the
high standards upon which it was es-
tablished.
The Ford does not take any back
seat at the auto show. The Moore
Motor Co.'s exhibit is attracting fully
as much attention as that Of any con-
Germ exhibiting there. The Ford is
always considered a wonderful little
car and this years model shows some
Improvement over the last. The Ford
touring car is listed at $3.50 f. 0. b..
factory and the runabout $345. The
Moore Motor Co. has 81 cars in stock
and every one is sold. Fords this
year will be shipped only as sold.
Ford prefers to do the storing himself.
The new model Ford has different
radiator than the old, the fan run
ming thru dish, forcing the air di-
rectly against the engine. At the ex-
hibit, a neat display of Ford parts is
shown. The members of the company,
Chas. W. Moore and Edw. Christensen,
together with j. w. Hussey, are in
charge of the exhibit.
The Magic City Auto Co., W. L..
Vannett, manager, is showing the AL
len Classic, an attractive 4-cylinder
machine, and the Mitchell Six, big
durable seven-passenger car, listed at
s1460, f. o. b. factory. The Allen is
listed at $3.50 and is a mighty good car
for the money. The company also
handles the Mitchell Junior, a six cyl
inder $115O car. The Mitchell is a
wonderfully we'll built machine and
Mr.. Vannett is very much pleased
with the business he is doing. Since
the show started, he has taken orders
for 81 cars.
The Dakota Motor Sales Co., Jen-
sen & johnson, managers, have fine
showing of Hupmobile and Maxwell
cars. The Model N Four Hupmobile

the show with their display of Kissel

The Overland exhibit occupies the
position Immediately in front of the
main entrance and here the Minot
Auto Co. have three of their most
popular models on exhibition. First
in line here may be found the Model
80, their newest model, the classy
Country Club" Roadster with adjust
able seats, which sells for only $3.50
and is the pride of the sales depart
ment. Next comes the Model 1914,
big touring car, arranged for five pas
sengers and selling at $3.50. This is
their standard car and will prove be-
yond doubt the best general purpose
car in the extensive Overland line.
Lastly comes the famous WHY'S
Knight, Model 1874. This is a seven
passenger car and sells at $1285. This
car is said to be absolutely silent in
it's operation and is the car premier of
the whole exhibit of the Minot Auto
Co.
The Mckinney Fuller Motor Co.,
distributors Of the Dodge Brothers
motor cars, occupy the space just back
Of the Minot Auto display. Here they
have arranged a stripped chassis
mounted for demonstration, which
shows the working parts of motor
car most admirably, and frees the
minds Of the visitors of the common
conception that motor car is such
complicated piece of machinery. A
handsome 5-pasenger touring car is
also on display; this is the standard
Dodge Brothers car and sells at the
low price Of $785. A beautiful Dodge
Brothers Sedan completes the exhibit,
and this car, so handsome and COM
plete in every detail, is sufficient to
convince every visitor that the Dodge
Brothers line possesses every point Of

THE WAR NEWS,

For the past week or more interest
conferred in Roumania, where the armies
of the Central powers were steadily ad-
vancing, the Russians and Roumanians
retreating. Mondays papers reported
the Russians on the offensive at several
points IN Roumania and successful count
er attacks. The Germans now have pos
session of the oil fields and have captur-
ed much needed supplies.
The Greek Royal army is reported to
be only awaiting orders from Germany
to attack the Allies, but has been advls-
ed that the forces now in Rumania can
not come to her aid for two months. The
situation in Greece is critical and it looks
as though she must yield to the demands
OF the Allies or fight. The conditions in
that country have held Allied troops
there that might have been used in de-
fence of Rumania.
A conference in Rome between mem
bers of the entente allied govern ents
closed Jan. 7th. 1t is announced that
the conference established once again
the complete unity of views of the en-
tente allies on the various questions
down for discussion, and that the states
men present will leave Rome with a
strong resolution to introduce greater
CO. ordination in their efforts for the sue
cessful issue of the war. At luncheon
given by Premier Boselli in honor of the
ministers present, cordial speeches were
delivered in which the Italian and French
premiers expressed absolute confidence
in the victory of the entente allied pow
ers.
One object of this conference is said to
have been to get reinforcements from
Italv to aid the Russians and Rumanians
in Rumania.
Spain is incensed over the sinking of
one of her steamers in the fruit trade by
a German submarine.
Berlin admits a failure of food, and
Austria is reported to be in an even
worse condition than Germany. Because
of this and a realization that her strength
is waning, while the Allies are gaining IN
men and munitions, prompted Germany's
peace proposal, and the other day more
reasonable basis for settlement was put
out semi-ofi clally. 1t does not, how
ever, meet the terms of the Allies, and
the war will go on.
