Strikers have cut telegraph lines

BOYS CLAIM THEY WERE

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 25.-Carrying an
l. W. w. card shows criminal tend
encies and Is an indication of guilt,
said Assistant States Attorney w. C.

ence be passed on two young men
who had pleaded guilty of grand ,larc-
eny in district court. The prisoners
were given a year and a half in the
penitentiary. ''F
c. H. Boone and William Austin two
youths arrested by the sheriff's Office
about three weeks ago charged with
grand larceny pleaded guilty before
Judge Cole yesterday and threw them
selves upon the mercy of the court.
The boys were arrested at HillsbOro
after a ROBBERY on freight train in
Cass county, several harvest hands
being held up in a box Car by four
men, it is alleged. Two of them dis
appeared. The men arrested carried
|. W. w. cards, reyOlvers and search
lights. ~
Attorney w. H. Barnett appeared
for the prisoners and made a fervent
plea to the court that the boys be Civ.
en- another chance.
II see not reason why the law
should not have its course in this
case, especially as the men plead
guilty." interposed the assistant
states attorney. Il believe the court
should take into consideration that
the prisoners carried |. w. w. mem
bership cards, showing they belonged
to an organization Of criminal tenden-
cies." w
II am no friend of the |. w. w. but
these boys told me that they had
been forced to take these cards in

BORROWING MONEY TO
CARE FOR UNFORTUNATEs

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 25.-Stories that
Fargo soldier boys are responsible for
the condition of large number of
young girls now at the Florence Crit
tendon home in this city are untrue
says Miss Lillian Grace Topping, sup,
erintendent of the home.
Street rumors to this effect have
been in circulation for some time and
caused Miss Topping last night to
issue a vigorous denial.
II have heard these stories from
various sources and cannot tell
where they originated" said Miss
Topping. Zone report that reached
us was that we had in the home a
large number Of girls for whose con-
diiton members of the jamestown
company that was quartered here
were responsible. Other reports were
that Company B boys were to blame
for number of cases.
"These reports are all false. We
have no girls in our home for whose
condition any of the soldiers who have
been quartered in Fargo are respon-
sible. Furthermore, we have had no
complaints involving either the Fargo
boys or the jamestown boys who
were stationed here.
1T is true that we have on our
hands an unusual number of unfort-
unate girls. l do not know why this
is so. It is true, also, that we are
in a desperate condition from lack
Of funds. We are borrowing money
now to buy bread for our girls.

Editor Gives Views.

Berlin, Sept 25.-In response to a
request for his opinion of the German
reply to the Pope's peace note, Max
imilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft,
in statement. to the Associated Press
today said: {
so far as lies in our power, we
want to stop the war and prevent the
possibility of new wars by the cultiva-
ton of a new spirit, which will SO
completely impregnate international
intercourse with ethical feeling. that
never again shall humanity behold the
day when force will strangle right.
Denying that the the. German nnal people
ever seriously intended to apply open
or covert forces to the people or gov
ernlnent Of Belgium, he said: .s
NEW EpocH HoPEotF FOR.
'The words that were SO construed
were intended only to serve the .pur-
pose Of war tactics, or said necessity.
Most eagerly do we desire to cooper
ate with the work Of converting the
misery and disgrace Of this war into
the turning point for q new epoch
in which the sun will arise for the
soul of mankind. That is the spirit
and import OF the German answer.
THE German empire will now be
told that its answer rs not sincerely
meant and that it is, In addition, a
plain indication. of the beginning of
exhaustion. If In this. most tragic
hour Of all human experience we are
unable to rise above the unclean Vap-
ors of such Vaccinations, then we are
indeed dwarfs in the presence OF
mighty fate.
Il am not given to alteration OF my
government, yet my conscience COM
mands me to say that the German gov
ernment, in the full Hush of military
successes and in the exuberance of ma
tional strength, in this hour has at
tempted the possible, and the unbend-
ing and determined will of the major
ity of the German people stands sure
ty for that which the government and
the Reichstag majority have promised
l belong to that by no means small
number. who, despite misunderstanding
and batting on both sides, still believe
in the lofty ethical seriousness OF
President Wilson. Tomorrow that SER
iousness of purpose can and must al
firm itself.
If | were President Wilson and IN
bounden knowledge realized that the
gap between the hostile camps was
no longer wide enough to justify
continuation of the carnage, on any
pretext l would tomorrow attempt to
force short armistice before the Am
erican and German soldiers meet on
the battlefield.
"The purpose of this brief respite
must be to establish whether, at last
the conscience of mankind everywhere
has been aroused and whether an un-
derstanding is possible which will lead
to the birth of a new spirit bringing
us deliverence from the misery that
now runs red with blood.
"All nations are abiding the ad-
vent OF this spirit. So Germany, too,
is abiding 1t without fear. Woe unto
him who in this hour of fate fails in
his duty toward this epitome Of the
union of mankind and the Godhead.

THREE TEAMS TIED
 FOR LEAGUE LEAD
Live Oaks, Harpoons and War; riors Setting City League Pace

The race for first place in the City bowling league is proving very i'm teresting. with three teams tied at present for the honors. The Live Oaks, winners last season are being forced to top speed by the Harpoons and the Warriors Several interest ing matches are scheduled for this week at the Aetna alleys. The sur prise of the season so, far is the poor showing of the Wanderers, Bill Bren- necke's once great aggregation. Bill. however. has hopes that his boys will wake up ere long. The doughty leader of the Wanderers is a believer that one little maple does not make a forest, neither does six defeats cause his pets to be alarmed about the winning of the championship. Bill has read considerable of late concern ing camouf1age, and has about de- cided to have his team try 1t. no mat ter what 1t means.
 Four members of the league are above the century mark for individual averages, .Lofgren. Bertini, Hine and Foote. Of this quartet, Lofgren leads with 106. Brennecke is making strong bid to get in the charmed circle.
 Bowling knights of the Aberthaw company of this city and Hartford will try conclusions on the lanes this evening in this city. Tomorrow evening, the Wanderers and the Mo- hawks and the Colonials and the liar poons will be the attraction in the City league series.
 The New Britain champions of the Inter city league will open the home season of 1917 Wednesday evening. when the Bristol quintet will furnish the opposition. The locals are smart ing under a three time walloping ad- in the Bell city last week. and will strive hard to retrieve themselves. As an added attraction, Manager Rogers has arranged match game between the Aetna Spe- cials and the Casino Specials of Hart ford. for Wednesday evening.
 Thursday evening the City league will again hold the boards, when the Annex will clash with the Live Oaks and the Warriors will give battle with the Areos.
 The standing of teams, averages and schedule is as follows:
