n. D. BOYS ARE
LIKED AT CAMP

Arecent issue of the Charlotte News
where the North Dakota boys are in
camp, is a eulogy Of our boys of the
Northwest. Not only is editorial op-
inion expressed forcibly in front
page spread but numerous communi-
cations from the readers breathe a
warm spirit for our soldiers. "By
their conduct they have won the hearts
of our people," writes the city's may
or. "Many high school and college
men are among them-all are enthus-
iastic Americans and will be credit
to their country, Somewhere Over
There" says county commissioner.
Another communication recites, cit
has been Charlotte's good fortune to
entertain many notable and distin-
guished guests but no man or set of
men who ever gathered around our
hearthstone and fireside have ever
found warmer place in our hearts
than these officers and men," Writes
the Chief Of Police, "Not one has been
arrested for any violation of the law.
No soldier from Camp Greene has
committed the slightest act that would
cause criticism" The Secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce declares,
Charlotte has been appreciative of
the wonderful manhood of the west.
They are each and all gentlemen in in
stinct and act" And many other
words all complimentary to the SOL
diers from this section of the country.
Is it any wonder that we feel proud of
those who are so splendidly represent
ing us at Camp Greene and shall we
fear that they will courageously rep
resent us in that land over there-a
land of conditions that try mens's
souls and test mems qualities to the
full?

PATRIOTIC OCCASION
next MONDAY

Judge Buttz has designated Monday
next as Naturalization Day in the
county. There are twenty applications
on file for citizenship papers, and dur
ing the afternoon these applicants will
be examined as to their qualification
for taking up the duties of citizen of
this country. Those who pass this ex-
animation will return to the Court
house and at o'clock the oath of al
legiance will be administered. An
address on what constitutes a good
citizen and along other patriotic lines
will be delivered by President of the
City Commission, Edward F. Flynn.
The meeting will also be addressed by
Hon. FIT. Cuthbert. The response on
behalf Of the class will be given by
Rev. Chester, of Edmore.
The naturalization hearings have
been made patriotic occasions all over
the state this year, made so at the re-
quest of Judge Young, of Fargo, head
of the Red Cross Society in this state.
1t is very fitting that they should be,
and occasions of this kind go a long
way toward making those who take
this step realize the duties placed up
on them thereby, and also to show
that they are welcomed by those who
are either natural born citizens or
have taken the step prior to the oc-
casion.
Everybody is invited and WANTED
to be in. attendance. There is abs,
lutely no charge of any kind. Music
suitable to the occasion is given a
place on the program and everything
possible is being done to make the
program an interesting and impressive
one. Every patriotic citizen should
turn out and show the newly made
citizen that he is welcomed to his new.
ly adopted country.

STATE WILL PROVIDE
Sc POUND LOAF

st. Paul, Nov. 7.-Wholesome bread
at 6 cents pound to consumers is the
purpose of order No. Is, passed late
yesterday afternoon by the Public
Safety Commission.
The Occident Baking company, Min
neapolis, is ordered to supply a Glib
loaf of white wheat bread at 5 1-2 cts
a pound at the bakery. The commits
sion proposes to dispose of this bread
in channels yet to be decided on, at a
price not exceeding 6 cents pound.
The order calls for not less than 5000
pounds daily.
To Extend Plan Here.
If the plan is successful in Mime
apolis, it will be effected in st. Paul
and Duluth. The Minneapolis expert
ment is to begin nerly next week.
The proposal will re-establish in
proportion, the old-time price of cts
a loaf for bread. Altho the new loaf
will retail at 6 cents pound, it will
weigh full 16 ounces, so that the price
it was officially explained, virtually
means Scent bread on the basis of the
old loaf.
Prices to Come Down.
Altho no official comment was made
it was inferred that the state loaf on
the market will compel other bakers
to meet the price established.
Retail food stores in Minneapolis
will be given an opportunity to han
die the bread on = 1-2 cent mar
provided, the spokesman said, In the
event of their refusal, other distribu.
tion means will be established, that
worked out.

CREASE IN RATES AN IMPERA.

HEARING ON Is PER CENT AID.
VANCE BEGINS BEFORT INTER.
STATE COMMISSION.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The reopen
ing Of the Is per cent rate advance
case before the interstate commerce
commission to day was marked by
claims of counsel of Eastern railroads
that transportation facilities and fl
nancial stability of the roads are men,
aced by prevailing rates.
eve cannot afford to make mis-
takes" declared Samuel Rea, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, in
opening the case. "It is not a time
for panic, but neither is it time for
disregardng the facts of increasing
expenses, of diminishing net operat-
ing income of deferred maintenance,
Of the lack of present facilities and in
ability to provide future ones"
Wartime conditions with the re-
sultant increase in the cost of labor
and materials make it imperative that
an advance over the present rate be
granted, asserted counsel representing
thirty-eight systems operating east of
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio
river. If the roads are to handle the
great volume of wartime traffic,
without mourning the imminent risk
lof. financial reverses, it was asserted
that better provision must be made by
the. government.
Paramount Duty,
With the successful prosecution Of
the war the paramount duty Of the
nation and effectiveness Of the mobil-
!ized industrial maelin 70 supply men,
munitions and goodstuffs limited to a
lgreat extent by transportation re-
sources, 1t is of primary national In
terest, it was ured, that no means Of
maintaining adequate railroad facili-
ties and Of Strengthening "imperilled
railroad credit" be neglected.
Decision to reopen the case after an
interval Of four months was announc-
ed by the commission in a recent let
ter to George Stuart Patterson, chief
counsel for the roads. Although the
hearing affects Immediately only those
roads operating in the East, the result
is expected to have a bearing on rates
throughout the country. Daily hear
ings will continue for several weeks,
it is believed, with prospect that dis
| position in the case will come before
the end Of the year.
Others Pending.
Other railroad representatives who
were on hand prepared to make gen.
eral statements when the hearing be-
gan were Alfred H. Smith of the New
York Central, James H. Hustis of the
Boston & Maine and Frederick D. I'm
derwood, of the Erie.
When, in May, the Eastern carriers
asked for Is per cent increase they
estimated that wartime prices of la
Dor and materials would increase their
operating charges by $235, 900, 900.
Later compilations, presented today,
indicate and increase of $27O,000, 900,
based on the 1916 volume of business,
while increased revenues from rate ad-
vances the first Of the year total $47,-
100000.

CANADIANS ARE
TREATED BADLY |

Toronto, Nov. 7.-First-hand reports
Of brutalities and conditions in Ger
man prison camps, particularly at
Gottingen. Hanover, were given here
today by Corporal Alexander Yetman
and Allen Macdonald, Toronto High
landers, who were captured at st. JUL
len in April, 1915.
Prisoners for Nineteen Months.
They were prisoners in Germany
nineteen months, but when they be-
came i'll from starvation they were re-
turned home thru Switzerland.
Describing life of prisoners in camp,
Corporal Yetman said:
eve were often hit, punished and
kicked and called pigs and swine.
Now and then we could walk to town
if we liked, but they made us walk in
the middle of the road, for we could
not walk on the sidewalk besides the
Germans, and they jeered at us and
called us vile names.
SeuO some 10 S8lC MINES.
"A chum of mine was sent away to
the salt mines. He came back with
sores on his legs from work and be-
cause he came back they put him in
prison."
Corporal Yetman said he saw Am
bassador Gerard Of the United States
at a prison camp at Mannheim.
"AmbassadQr Gerard Waited the
place and made an inspection" Cor
poral Yetman said. '"The Huns fixed
things up when he came, and L am
sure he did good work in making
things better.

The outstanding feature of the elec-
tions in the United States Tuesday
was the APPARENTLY assured victory for
woman suffrage in New York state by
a majority of approximately 10000.
While the suffragists were winning in
the east, early returns from Ohio in
dicated defeat for them in that state.
Two states, Ohio and New Mexico,
voted on prohibition.
Incomplete returns from Ohio
showed that the contest in that state
was very close with the drys leading
by small margin. fhe prohibitions
lists evidently carried New Mexico.
The entire Republican state ticket,
headed by Governor Samuel w. Nc
Call won an overwhelming victory in
Massachusetts while the Democratic
state ticket, headed by Westmoreland
Davis for governor was successful in
Virginia.
Hylan Wins IN New York.
Interest in the municipal elections
centered upon New York where Pohn
F. Hyland democrat, defeated Mayor
John P. Mitchell, candidate for reel
ection by plurality Of more htan
100000. The entire Tammany city
ticket was also elected. The Socialists
ection by plurality of more than
400 per cent over that cast in the mu-
nicipal campaign four years ago.
| The bipartisan judicial ticket in
Chicago was defeated, by plurality
estimated at $4,000 socialist candi-
dates standing on an anti-war plat
form.

backing the so-called town meeting
candidates to oust the Ware brothers

face of the returns appears to have
fbeen unsuccessful, but at a late hour
both sides were claiming victory. ).

the spot. Another was killed by a
blow on the head with a rifle butt
from above.
Some of the Americans apparently
at the beginning Of the attack did not
realize just what was going on. One
of the wounded, d private, said:
II was standing in a communica-
tion trench awaiting for orders. I
heard noise back of me and looked
around in time to see German fire in
my direction. I felt a bullet hit my
arm" The German left the trench as
soon as possible, taking their dead and
wounded with them.
Germans Abandon Their Rifles.
An inspection showed, however, that
they had abandoned three rifles, a
number of knives and helmets.
/ The raid was evidently carefully
planned and American officers admit
that it was well executed. AS raid,
however, there was nothing unusual
about it. It was such as is happening
all along the line. There is reason fol
believing that tie Germans were
greatly surprised when they found
Americans in the trenches instead OF
| the French.
French General Well Pleased.

detachment formed a part, expressed
extreme satisfaction at the action Q!

RULER.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-via London, Nov. S.
The constitution of the new Polish
state is document containing nine
paragraphs and ISL articles. Pref.
Cybichowski of Warsaw, who syas
commanded to make the draft, which
was approved by the former state
council, states that the charter con-
tains the following provisions: Po-
land to be an Independent constitu-
tional safe.
In view of the fact that an over
whelming percentage of the popula-
tion is of the Roman Catholic faith, it
is ordered that the ruling house be of
the same faith.
Catholicism is prescribed as being
the official religion to be recognized in
connection with state functions and
official ceremonies. Beyond that full
freedom of religious belief is vouch-
safed.
To Control Kings Marriage.
The state is to be hereditary mon
archy, the diet to elect the ruler ano
control the dynasty's affairs and sue
censorship. If the king marries with,
out the consent of the diet he forfeits
his crown. This proviso is intended
to preclude the possibility of feE,in,

attaining the throne.
The king is obliged to reside con
stantly at home and is not permitted
to be represented through q substitute
authority or be sovereign Of another
