Rome. Sept. 24.-The reply of the
Allies to the peace note of Pope Bene-
diet now is being awaited by the vati-
can, after which the Pope will again
address a note 70 all the belligerents.
The Pontiff VIII point out that the
questions on which all agree really
represent the foundation of a new or

TO SELL MORE BONDS
Second Liberty Loan of 1917
Campaign Announced.
Three Billion Dollars inYolved-Per
Capita Apportionment $25-New
Organization More Extensive.

Minneapolis, Sept. 24.--Upon the
personal request of Secretary William
G. McAdoo of the Treasury Depart
ment to Henry p. Davidson and Har-
yey ID. Gibson, Chief Executives of the
American Red Cross, Arthur r. Rog-
ers, manager of the northern division
of that organization, has been tempo
rarily released from service, to take
charge of an organization which is
being formed to handle and control
the participation of the northwestern
states in the Second Liberty Loan of
1917. 1t is expected that the Ninth
reserve district will be called upon
to buy, not less than $125, 000, 900 of
war bonds of the Second Liberty Loan
issue.
Chairman Rogers saw service in the
first Liberty Loan campaign last May
and June, during which the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve District bought war bonds
to the extent of more than S72. 900, 900.
Campaign Starts Oct. l..
The work of distributing the new
Liberty Loan bonds of the second is
sue to the people of the Northwest
will begin shortly after Oct. /. The
amount and rate of interest on the
second Liberty Loan have not yet been
announced by the Treasury Depart
ment, which will have control of the
sale of the bouds over the whole
United States, and acting under its
authority, the Federal Reserve Bank
of Minneapolis will be officially re-
sponsible for the campaign in the
Ninth Federal Reserve District, but
has delegated the active work to Gen
eral Chairman Rogers and his organi-
cation.
The campaign organization for the
second Liberty Loan vii, be much
more extensive than any organization
1t was possible to form on short no
Hiee for the handling OF the first great
War Loan, and will probably involve
the services of twice or three times
the number of men.
Higher Interest Rate Seen.
II is probable that the new war
bonds will bear a more attractive rate
of interest than the bonds of the first
Liberty Loan issue. and it is regarded
as certain that the plan of issuing
them in denominations suitable to the
requirements of every individual will
be followed.
1t is considered probable that the
second War Loar will involve the sale
of $4,000, 000, 900 of new United States
bonds. The immensely of the task is
illustrated by the fact that the appor.
tionment for the Northwest will mean
the sale of approximately s25 a bond
for every man, woman and child in
the entire Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict.

COUNTIES MUST PAY
Cannot Deduct From Care of Insane
Wards Fors Others For Which
So Not RESPONSIBLE,

Bismarck, n. D.. April 2S.-In re-
Spouse to the state auditors request
for an opinion. Attorney General
LANCER today held that counties which
have accepted responsibility for insane
patients at the state hospital and
which after paying for their care a
number of years abruptly discover
they are not responsible. cannot sub
tract from current dues the entire
amount OF money which they have
paid the state for the care of these
wards. If a recovery is to be made,
the attorney general rules, it must be
through due legal process. The opinion
probably will result in relieving a con-
siderable drain on the fund for the
care Of patients charged directly to the
state.

DUNSEITH SANlTARIUM
TO GET ITS $4,000
Clerical Error in Enarosssd copy of
Law Doesn't Affect Emergency.
Clause.

Bismarck. N. D., April 2s.-Dunseith
sanitarium is to have its $4,000
emergency appropriation. The ap-
preparation was provided for in H. b.
No. 21S. The emergency clause passed
both houses by proper majorities, but
the engrossing clerk failed to have the
clause attached to the engrossed copy
filed with the secretary of state, and
this clause does not appear with the
act as published in the popular edition
of the session laws. The attorney
general was appealed to for an
opinion, and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Brennan today holds that the
absense Of the emergency on the en-
crossed copy is purely a clerical error
which should not deprive the sani-
tarium Of funds for which there is an
imperative. immediate need. The Jour
mails of both houses show the
emergency clause passed in due form,
and the opinion holds that the state
auditor may treat H. B. No. 21S as if
the emergency clause attached had
been properly engrossed and certified.

TO START ROAD WORK
5urIeigh County Road Crew WORKING
On Old Tractors For Service.

Bismarck. N. D.. April %. - The
county road crew is now working on
the old tractors, getting them in shape
for service this year. providing no
purchasers are found for them. II
the battery OF tractors now in use can
be sold. engines of much heavier
type will be purchased. The tractive
power which the county now has is
not sufficient. This year the county
board will return to the 1915 plan Of
using one tractor outfit in each COM
missioner's district. Last year all the
outfits were grouped under one fore
man. Some were satisfied and others
were not, and inasmuch as great
deal or the original grading has been
done and the work this year will be
confined largely to maintenance, it is
believed this plan will work out.

at Buford. At that time the commission
instructed the Great Northern to stop
No. 3 at Buford to discharge passen-
gers. Recently, according to the COM
plant, No. 8 has ceased stopping alto
gether, and as result visitors to Will
