BORDEN OFFERS TO RESIGN
Supporters Insist Canadian Premier
Remain in Office.

Ottawa, ont, Aug. 31.-Sir Robert
Borden. premier of Canada, offered his
resignation to a caucus of his sup
pOrters in parliament in favor of Sir
George Foster, minister of trade and
commerce.
The caucus declined to accept the
resignation and reaffirmed it's conf
dence in the prenier's leadership. Sir
Robert was authorized to continue mis-
efforts to r~eorganize the government
and bring into it representatives OF
all the elements in Canada favoring
compulsory military service.
The aucus and its confirmation of
Premier Borden's authority are the
result of a series of events that began
on May Is when the prime minister,
who had just reurned from confer
ences in England, announced to par
lament his intention to bring down a
bill applying CONSUMPTION to Canada
to get 100000 reinforcements.

Mr.. Lochner made this announce-

where he spent the morning making
preliminary arrangements for the
meeting.
Earlier reports we're to the effect
that he had gone to Fargo in response
TO Governor Frazier's message that he
would welcome the council to North
Dakota.
The announcement put an end to
many rumors that plans for the ses
sion had been abandoned and that The
meeting would be held on the open
prairie in North Dakota.
Early In the day William LANCER
attorney general OF North Dakota, an.
nounced that the meeting would not
be held at Fargo.
He had been sent there to arrange for
police protection of the meeting and
TO prevent ii being broken up by mem
bers of the home guard and loyal citi-
zens as had a peace meeting there
Tuesday night at which Max Eastman,
Socialist editor, was a speaker.
Ii is thought the temper of the citi-
zens of Fargo prompted the council
to abandon its plan to meet there.
That the council will not receive a
warm welcome at Hudson was indi
Gated by officials of that city.
