in the festivities. One hundred and
twenty-five were served in ALL
The women were given great ova-
ton by Captain Murphy, other officers
and the boys, Several new recruits
arriving Thursday shared in the feed.
Following the feed the women were
invited to join the company in the
retreat exercises, when the flag was
lowered. After the lowering of the
flag the boys gave three cheers for
the women Of the auxiliary. This
demonstration amply repaid the wo-
men for all the work contributed.
1t is the opinion of the auxiliary that
many more women of Bismarck
would join this organization if they
could have witnessed the joy Of the.
boys while partaking OF the feed.
Many more members are needed to
carry on the work Of aiding the COM

NEW LIQUOR
LAWS LIKELY

A measure to close saloons and
cafes where alcoholic beverages are
served on Sundays will probably be in
troduced at the special session of the
legislature when it convenes early in
December. Governor Philip declared
Tuesday that he. did not desire to give
any information at this time as to
what would be contained in his mes
sage calling for a special session.
Those interested in the coming clash
of the wet and dry forces, however,
say the call will contain a paragraph
relative to the enactment Of a Sunday
closing law.
1t is predicted that it will carry a
license revocation penalty. AS the
Sunday closing law now stands, it is
more a matter of town, village and
city agreement or enactment. Unless
towns, villages and cities pass ordi-
nances providing penalties, saloons in
some places remain open, while others
close. 1t is believed that the liquor
interests would favor legislation that
would be general in enactment, and
general with its penalty provisions.

hensive plan of drainage, and financial
matters arising because Of war condi-

WAR IS COSTING
Sc, 100000 AN
HOUR SAY EXPERTS

The war is costing the belligerent
nations of the world at the rate of
$160,000,000 a day-$6,500,000 an hour
and the United States is paying at
least one-quarter of this staggering
sum, according to estimates made by
the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank of New York. The estimated
daily cost at the beginning of the war
was $5O,OOO,OOO, and year ago it was
$10O,000,000. This country's rate of
expenditure is greater than that of
any other nation, Great Britain being
second and Germany next.
By next August, according to the
banks figures, the total cost of the
war will be 5,OO0,OOO,0O0.
The developed national wealth of
the allies is placed at 6OO,000,000, 900

Surprise to Dry Leaders, Who
Believed Battle Led by Bryan
Had Been Won
NOW BEHIND 936 VOTES;
EARLY LEAD WAS $4,000
All But Three Counties Have
Been Heard From With Official
Returns

Indications are that the official
count will be required to determine
the result of Mondays prohibition
election in Iowa.
All day Tuesday the "wets" gained
on the lead Of the "drys," and with
three counties, Adair, Butler and FIRE.
mont and twenty-one scattering pre-
cincts in other counties remaining to
be heard from, the returns showed a
majority against of 956, the vote being
196,341 for and 197,297 against.
Dry TWO Years More
Should the amendment be carried,
the sale and manufacture Of liquor
would be prohibited by the constitu-
ton and it would be impossible for the
state to again vote on the question un-
til 1921, and then only through the
election Of two Consecutive legisla-
lures which would vote to resubmit
the amendment.
On the other hand, a wet victory
will not mean the immediate legal sale
of liquor in the state, for the statu-
tory provision under which the state
has been dry two years must first be
repealed This would not be possible
until the next legislature convenes
two years hence.
Result Is Surprise
The result of the election was sur
prise to the dry forces. Although they
do not admit defeat, and the vets are
not making any positive claims, the
fact that the dry lead of 10000 was
cut down and passed by the vets, and
that at the last count the vets are in
the lead by nearly 1000, has caused re-
poicing among those who opposed the
amendment
The election was considered won
by the drys, especially after William
Jennings Bryan came into the fight.
The fact that Iowa already was dry
