Heavy artillery actions are again In
progress on the Flanders front.
London's official report today
speaks of a strong bombardment OF
the new British positions on the main
Passchendaele-C -Cheluvelt ridge, south
of l'roodseinde. In the light of prev.
ious experience, this may be viewed
as Indicating German counter'battery
work, against the intensive British ar
tillery fire in progress preparatory to
another push.
Superior Positions.
The British artillery now has su'
perior positions from which to work,
as their master by this time have had
ample opportunity for their heavy
guns to be put in position on the
dominating high ground taken In the
recent advances. 1t thus seems prob
able that Field Marshal Haig will not
delay his next stroke beyond the time

Control Of Gulf.
The situation on the Russian north

the German operations to the main

FOR THE BR|T0NS
Task Today to Bring Freedom to

THE DUTY OF FORMER
SONS OF FATHERLAND

Valley City. y. D., Oct. 15.-Even
as the colonists in fighting the tyran-
ny of King George in 1776, fought for
the whole English race, so do the
Democratic peoples Of the earth, IN
fighting the mad militarism OF King
Wilhelm fight for the whole Ger
man people, declared Chief Justice A
A. Bruce of the North Dakota SUI
preme court in addressing a district
Liberty Loan rally here Friday night
1--WE are not making war on the
German people, but upon an arlsto
cratic German government which
knows no law but the law of might
and openly asserts that no treaty or
contract is of binding force, II only
one is strong enough to break It,,
said Judge Bruce. 1T is a war OF
right against might; OF honor against
dishonor.
"Just as our American Revolution
ary fathers fought the battle of all
Englishmen in fighting against the
English Tyranny of George the Third
and in doing so brought freedom not
only to America but to England it
! self, so we are fighting the battle OF
the great masses Df the Germans
themselves. We are merely asking
the Germans in America to do what
Englishmen in America did in 1776
They fought against the aristocratlc
government of their old fatherland
because that government was false
to democracy and false to its trust
and they fought against relatives and
friends. They did this because strong
er than the ties of kinship and lang
uage and birth, was the call OF hu
manity and of Universal cOmrade
ship. We must choose between the
political philosophy of Nieztsche and
the kaiser and the political philosophy
of Christ. Christ taught the gospel
of a universal father and of human
brotherhood. He prayed that "the
meek" the simple folk, might inherit
the earth. Eietzsche and the kaiser
preach the gospel not OF rights or OF
human brotherhood but of the strong
est battalions. Christ taught that
liberty and opportunity and hope was
for all men. The Prussian aristocrat
teaches that all the world is for Ger
many and all Germany is for the
Prussian aristocrat The Prussia doc.
trine of the Divine Right of might and
of the German Superman is opposed
to all that our flag stands for and
to all that America means.
1--WE do not believe in war for
wars sake. We are. however, Meth
er too proud nor too cowardly to fight.
We prize liberty more than peace.
We place honor above mere comfort
and sordid gain We are not willing
that our ships should be driven from
the seas, nor are we willing to stand

Bismarck Council u. C.. T. Ask
Removal of Senator Gr0nna and
More Loyalty From Gov. Frazier

Members of Bismarck council OF
the United Commercial Travellers in
resolutions adopted at their meeting
last Saturday evening scored Cow
ernor Frazier for his letter to peace
officers virtually protecting the |. W.
w. members from search; his luke
warm attitude toward the first issue
of the liberty loan and his invitation
to the Peoples Council to launch
their sedition in North Dakota.
The resolutions are identical in
text with those adopted several
weeks ago at Minot. They reflect
the sterling Americanism of the com
mercial travellers who make their
headquarters in Bismarck. The
grand council at St. Paul heartily en-
dorse this action and it is likely that
other councils throughout North Da
kota will adopt similar resolutions.
The resolutions follow:
Admonish Frazier.
Whereas, our country is at war with
Germany;
And Whereas, the president OF the
United States is entitled to the un
qualified support of every Ameri ;ar
citizen in the successful prosecution
OF this war;
And Whereas, our governor, Lynn
J. Frazier has shown by his offcia
acts and public statements that he is
not in accord with the will of the pe0
pie of this loyal state;
And Whereas, our governor did moi
give unqualified support to the libort.
bond campaign, and has only giver
half-hearted support to the war con
scription act;
And Whereas, he attempted to guar
antee to the notorious so-callcd "Peo
pies Peace Councir' an asylum il

And Whereas, by public order
promulgated at the request of Arthur
LeSueur, attorney for the |. w. WIS
he has attempted to retard the en-
forcement of law against the |. w
W.'s in this state, and has thereby re
tarded the protection of the lives ant
property of the inha bitants of this
state;
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, by

that we demand of Governor Frazier
that he withdraw his order issued tC

cerning the l. w. W's, and that Gov

~ Petrograd, Oct. 1.-THE German

head of the Gulf of Riga are pushing
east and south, placing in a difficult
position the Russian forces and bat
teries in the district of Arensburg, at
the southern end of the Island, and
especially those on the Cerel PENN

in the Gulf of Riga, followed by de-

rather than by attempt toward the

ed by mine fields, which the Ger
