Joint Statement.
According to a joint statement, the
"closed shop" which is claimed by the
railroad managers to have been a pri-

strike, ceases to be an issue, it being
stated that matters ''at issue are to

might be fairly considered as equiv

Appointment Of yardmasters, rein
statement and employment of new
men, is to be settled by a board.
Several other minor issues are yet to
.be settled, but arrangements were
made for further meetings tomorrow.
Since the strike has been in prog

traffic has been only slightly affected
and all perishable freight has been
moved 1n~s..

WAR SUMMARY

Whatever military development may
be impending on the Belgian front.
the great artillery battle there has not
yet resulted in infantry movements OF
Importance. Todays official British
statement is colorless, contrasting
strongly with the recent German re-
port of heavy gunfire in this area.
Color is lent the assumption that oper.
ations of notable scale are in pros
pect here. However, by the ofhcial
accounts from London of the intensive
aerial work in progress there, in
which photograph observations on =
large scale had been carried out, is
reported. The destruction of air craft
yesterday was heavy on both sides,
80 German machines being downed
and 13 British machines being downed
and l3 British machines being report
ed missing.
The French front, likewise, was de-
void last night of the infantry activ.
ity aside from raiding excursions.

Bismarck guardsmen of Co. l, Sec

being the first unit of their command
called into concentration camp. Capt
Fl. r. Murphy of Bismarck, regimental
adjutant, this morning advised Capt.

ed by Captain Gray, had been detailed
from the First regiment.
= Still a Question.
There is still a question as to the
ultimate destination, for concentration
of North Dakota troops. The latest
advice on this subject was contained
in instructions received July 26 by
Colonels Frame and White directing
them to report to the commander Of
the western department at Palo Alta,
Cal, and which would indicate that
the troops are going to the coast to
train. Printed circulars of an earlier
date just received at the adjutant gen.
erals office still refer to Deming, N.
NJ, as the mobilization camp site, and
that North Dakota has been trans
ferred from the old 18th to the new
34th division. Battalion Adjutant Or.
chard today wired the commander of
the central department for definite in
structions on this subject.

stitute for gasoline. He was merely
, using a new method of heat treatment
of Ignite to expel the gas, water and
other by-products as preliminary to
briquetting.
The new fuel can be distilled in
quantities to make it an important
factor in the gasoline market, espe'
cially so in view of the fact that the
government scientists and others have
been expressing great concern over
the fact that the nations stores of
gasoline are being rapidly used up
without any satisfactory substitute
having been found.
One of the most important features
of the discovery by Dean Babcock is
that the new fuel is by-product to
the manufacture of Ignite coal into
briquettes of the highest commercial
value and that in its production the
fuel value of the coal will be in
creased rather than diminished.

Fargo, N. d., July 30.-A new source
of motor fuel, likely to become of
great commercial import, has been
discovered in the state of North Da-
kota. The new fuel is volatile oil
distilled from Ignite coal. The dis
covery was made by E. J. Babcock,
dean of the school of mines of the
University of North Dakota.
The new fuel is called motor
spirit by Dean Babcock. It is not
exactly the same as gasoline, but is
very similar to it both in chemical
composition and in its properties.
The discovery was made in connec-
ton with Dean Babcocks studies of
methods for utilizing the full fuel
value of North Dakota Ignite, Of
which there are vast deposits in the
western part of the state.
