woman's ordinary black stockings,
and neat Shoes The sentry was

In the courtyard 300 girls of good
physique, and many OF them pretty,

exaggerated goose step.
Commander Lieutenant Euitchkar-

King Sol s. Puts
In Biggest Bit
of Work r'1ki' Today

King Sol arose a few seconds earlier
today than upon any other day in the
year and he remains on the job a few
second longer. June 81 in this lati'
tude is officially announced by Mete
orOgolist O. w. Roberts, in charge OF
the weather bureau service for the
state of North Dakota, to be the long
est day of the year. The sun rose
at 4:47 a. m. and sets at S:4l in the
evening. It's advent was preceded by
probably ninety minutes dawn and it's
departure will be followed by as long
a period of dusk. and there will in
reality be but six hours actual dark
ness in the "a.
Bismarck gets 159 hours actual sun
light, while Chicago will enjoy but
14.5, and the twin cities will about
split the difference between the two
points. While today will be the very
longest day of the year, there is only
a few seconds difference in the length
of days from June IS to June %, on
which date the days begin growing
shorter.
Bismarck enjoys an exceptionally
long day because it is near the point
where the time changes, and 1t is just
43 minutes ahead of Chicago time, on
a sunlight basis. 1t is this fact, cou-
pied with the latitude, which nables
Bismarck to enjoy outdoor postimes
until 9 o'clock and sometimes later
on summer evenings.

LOST GROUND
RECAP PTURED BY
HA|C'S ARMY
(Ey Associated Press;

Heavy fighting is in progress on the
Aisne front, where the French are
entrenched in favorable positions. The
Germans apparently have heavily re-
inforced their troops in this sector
by men drawn from the Russian front
One subdivision was sent into the
fighting directly after it's arrival, max
ing an attack yesterday.
The assault, while along front OF
apparently less than mile, was OF
extremely violent character. The
French stopped the German rush, suf-
fering only a slight penetration OF
their first line at two points, aggre-
eating between GOO and 700 yards,

Burtness of Grand Forks as the re-
publican candidate for congress by the
convention held in Grand Forks yester'
day, and formal demand from Judge
Wick of Pembina this morning that
his name be removed from the official
ballot in the first district, the stage is
set for an interesting legal battle,
the outcome of which, as much as the
ballots of the people, will determine
the successor to the late Henry I.
Helgesen as representative from the
First district.

already is on the ballot through indi.

Hall Makes Statement.
Secretary of State Hall, prior to his
departure for st. Anthony at noon to-
day, declared his stand as already
stated will not be changed. He holds
the ballots cannot be altered, and that
none of the names now appearing
thereon can he removed.
Anticipating this attitude upon the
part of the secretary of state, the re-
publicans, in convention at Grand
Forks yesterday, prepared to imme-
diately begin proceedings by man

the official ballot the names OF Plain,
Wick and Cuthbert, leaving the repub'

Elimination
Wholesale Grocers Complain Of

DECLARE MAIL ORDER
HOUSE THREATENS RUIN

Chicago, June 21.-Unfair competi.
ton, according to a committee report
to the liberty convention" of the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' association,
is driving small retailers from busi-
ness in increasing numbers.
The alleged unfairness consists, ac-
cording to the report, in manufacture
ers selling large consignments direct
to chain stores, mail order houses, and
department stores at prices normally
charged the wholesaler, and at which
the manufacturer cannot profitably
sell the, individual small dealer.
The report marking there are $685.
1913 retail merchants, including 318, ,631
groceries, in the United States, as.
serts:
THE tendency to eliminate the
small man is therefore toward monop-
oily and under present conditions this
tendency will soon become an accel-
Grated movement which will sweep
thousands of American retailers to
eventual ruin
The report states that hitherto the
government has acted only after
strong mOnopolies have been estab-
lished and says:
ut now remains to be seen Wheth-
or the government will permit great
er monopoly than any that has pre-
ceded it to take control of the first
necessities of life."

Jules, Cambon, Cabinet Attache,
Declares United States Brings
Freshness and Ardor

Paris, June 2l.--Jules Cambon, gen
eral secretary OF the ministry of for
eign affairs, declared that the en-
trance Of America into the war had
caused serious unrest in Germany, in
an Interview with a correspondent Of
the; Associated Press today. He said:
y, "A feeling of serious unrest was
caused in Germany ,by the entry into
the u struggle of a country which
brings to the Allies, together with It's
entire strength, freshness and ar,
dor which have not been diminished
by three years of war. Germany feels
that the Americans. once engaged In
the struggle, will not give up. It is
to prevent this cementing of close
ties that it is multiplying its efforts
to spread dissension among the Al
lies.
"The incidents of the Swiss social
lists grim intrigue in Russia reveals
Germany's handiwork and is one Of
the straws showing how uneasy and
troubled Berlin is because of Amer
lea: In France, everyone realizes
that this uneasiness and fear is justi-
fed"

WANTS FOREST RESERVE
Slope County Resisting Efforts to
Open National Tract

Bowman, N. D., June 21.-Slope
county is making a determined effort
to convince the United States govern
ment that the 500 national forest
known as the Roosevelt reserve, is
worth retaining. There are 10 Sec
tions in the tract, and the government
has considered opening it to settlers.
The reserve boasts of a fine growth
of trees which are especially desir.
able, Slope, county citizens point out,
in a region where tree is rarity.
There is no objection to the contin.
ued use of the reserve for grazing pur.
poses.

HOW THE DRAFT WILL WORK.

There is hardly a home In the land
where anything else is discussed than
conscription. Mothers. wives, sweet
hearts lie awake nights wondering
into the fighting service Of the gov
eminent. They are troubled by visions
of the black bordered card they may
receive In the mails from Washington
next year. They dream Of the father.
husband or son lying dead ON the
blood .drenchcd fields Of France. The
war is getting a little closer to home
every day though the frightful horror
Of it Is still long way off,
The wives and near relatives Of those
liable to CONSUMPTION may find some
degree Of comfort in the plans Of ex-
emption. The CONSUMPTION law will
take 100000 men or one out Of every
twenty enrolled as Of military age.
First Of all, men between the years
Of q and 80 will enroll on June s..
Their names will be placed in a jury
wheel later and drawn, so many for
each state. according to the percent
age Of state population of the total
need. Physical examination as well a.
answers to certain questions will en-
able the local board to make many
exemptions automatically,
Other exemptions that may be ap-
piled for will include a large number
of men. A suppositious case. VIC will
say. is that of farmer who has but
one son to assist him. The local
board would exempt that son because
his removal would work n detrimcnt
to the farmer. II the farmer had sew
! eral sons one or more might be draft
cd for the army. The war department
announces that common sense will rule
in applying the principle OF the draft
| So far az this country is concerned
the war Will be of Industrial rather
than military importance for at least
some time to come. A year will clapst

WHAT TO 90 WITH KINGS,

We see no reason for II. G. Wells to
worry over the possibility Of England
becoming an asylum for dethroncd
kings. The United States Will be glad
to take over the job without cost and
very likely to the qualification of the
monarchs themselves. Naturally the
motion picture magnatcs will bid for
first choice. the kaiser. who will be
available after the war and will run a
hot race with Charlie Chaplin for the
worlds best salary.
The car will be open to an offer
from one of the summer PARKS and
would probably draw as well an the
lizard headed man from Zanzibar. The
Crown Prince Of Germany. having
shown much natural talent for bur
lcsqnc. could find Il place in any one
of the broadway shows.
The real prize attraction, from the
box office standpoint, will be the Sui
tan of Turkey, who viii bring along
two hundred or more wives, enough for
a whole musical comedy show. Left
overs will get employment on the big
Sunday newspapers. As for the little
fellows. the kings of Portugal, Eou-
mania. Bulgaria and Greece, well. they
will do for the circus side shows next
year.
