ROOT IN STIRRING ADDRESS
DEFINES FOR NATION MEANING
Of TREASON TO UNITED STATES

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Treason to Amer
lea in the world war was defined by
Elihu Root, and labor was pledged
to fight until world toryish had been
overthrown, by Samuel Gompers at a
patriotic rally here last night, staged
by the National Security league, for
the announced purpose of vindicating
Chicago against the alleged intima-
tions of unpatriotism.
"The men who are speaking, and
writing and printing arguments
against the war now and against
everything that is being done to car
ry on the war, are rendering more ef-
fective service to Germany than they
ever could render in the field with
arms in their hands, declared tho
former secretary Of state amid cheers.
1T is impossible to resist the con
clusion that the greater part of them
are at heart traitors to the United
States"
Declaring that General Grant said
"let us have peace" only "after' Lee
had surrendered. Mr.. Gompers assert
ed that latter kairerism had surren-
dered. then we too will have peace"
There can be no peace" he con-
tinued, while there is Teuton on

An even inch of rain, the heaviest

At Dickinson, west of Bismarck, only

have been confined to a narrow strip
extending through the center of the
state from Willston to Napoleon, and
following very generally the Missouri
valley, with all erratic off-siloot to in
clude Fessenden.

ENTENTE AGREES
TO WAIVE BOXER
!: TAX FOR J YEARS
China Will Boost Tariffs in
Order to Fill Her War
Chest
PLANS MADE FOR
FULL PARTICIPATION

Pekin, Sept. l5.-Ministers of the
entente powers have advised the for
eign Office that their governments are
willing to wait for the Boxer indem-
nifty payments for five years. Russia
valves only one-third of the first pOr.
ton of the indemnity, requiring the
remainder because of her financial
straits.
The United States, it is said, prob
ably will ratfy the action of the en-
tentc nations, but will not waive its
portion of the Boxer indemnity, which
is necessary to maintain the Chinese
students in America.
The entente countries also will
grant to China the privilege of in
crcasing her tariff to an effective five
per cent, which repI esents something
like two per cent rise. They will
concede to China the right to send
troops through the foreign concessions
at Tsien Tsin if necessary. The Ital-
ian minister has withdrawn his re-
quest that Italy be given the rights to
the Austrian concessions at Tien Tsin.
May Intern Germans.
President Chang Kwo Chang and
the members of the Chinese cabinet
are considering what concessions
they will make to the entente allies
in consideration for their liberality
1t is believed China probably will
agree to intern Germans and Austro
Hungarians, place enemy ships in the
hands of the entente allies for the dur.
alton of the war, enact a higher tariff
against central powers and offer labor
ers or soldiers if they are desired.
The sentiment in official circles is
in favor of China poining the entente
governments in signing the London
conference agreement against separ-
ate peace and tariff economic compact.
Herr Cordes, German manager at
Pekin, of the Deutsche Asiatische
bank, has been arrested by the Chi
nese on the charge of obstruction by

MAKE LUxBURG THE GOAT.

Amsterdam, Sept. 15.-The three
cablegrams sent by Count LuXburg,
German minister to Argentine, to the
German foreign office through the
Swedish legation have finally been
permitted to be published in the Ger
man press.
The koelnisch Zeitung says it is
easy to understand that the publica-
ton of these dispatches in Argentine
has made an unpleasant impression,
and that President Wilson has so far
probably been successful with his
maneuvers, hut adds that they can
only be rightly Judged ii 1t is not for
gotten that they were secret messages
in code, anu II the dispatches OF en-
tcnte diplomacy could be read, still
more drastic expression would be ell
cOuntered.
1t is self-evident says the paper that
the German government cannot be
held responsible for the opinion of
any one of its ministers, nor the Ger
man navy accused of atrocities.
1--WE are also confident that the ad-
vice of Count Luxburg will meet with
decided disapprOval of our govern
ment. We demand that the minister
who forwarded such dispatches be re-
called as quickly as possible. Count
LuXburg should be permitted to dis
appear without leaving any trace be-
hind"
Regarding the phrase in one of
Count Lux ourg's dispatches abo
sinking steamships without leaving
trace, the paper says it does not
mean sinking ship with all hands,
but so sinking her that military mis-
haps might be avoided, for example
conccaling the facts from other ships
that she was sunk by a submarine
and not q mine.

peace until they are driven from out
ragged Belgium"
In defining the attitude of citizens
toward the conduct of the war and in
cidentally what constituted being
traitor, Elihu Root said:
''The declaration of war between the
United States and Germany complete
ly changed the relations Of all the in
habitants of the country to the sub.
ject of peace and war.
Before the declaration everybody
had right to discuss in private and
in public the question whether the
United States should carry on war
against Germany. Everybody had
right to argue that there was not suf.
ficient cause for war: that the conse.
quences of war would be worse than
the consequences of continued peace;
that it would be wiser to submit to
the aggressions of Germany against
American rights; that it would be bet
ter to have Germany succeed than to
have the allies succeed in the great
conflict.
Question is Decided Now
"Rut the question of peace or war
has now been decided by the presi
dent and congress. The question no
longer remains open. 1t has been de-

RUSSIANS TORTURED
IN PRISON CAMPS

Washington, d. c., Sept. 15.-Anoth.
er chapter is added to the story of
the tortures of German prison camps
by Russian soldiers who escaped by
tunnelling with knife under the
electrically charged fence along the
Antwerp-Rosendahl line. 1t has been
forwarded to the state department
from Petrograd.
Brutal treatment and poor and in
sufficient food have cost Germany the
labo- of thousands of prisoners, he
say;. One labor battalion on the west
ern front, consisting of 1000 men, has
been reduced to less than 500. The
daily rations for a prisoner, he re.
ported, consisted of a small amount OF
bread and turnip soup, the soup en-
riched now and then by bit of horse
meat. The unfit, the wounded, and
those who had lost members of their
bodies, were kept in invalid camps
until they died, but never, he says,
retlrned to camps in Germany, be-
cause the officers in command feared
the psychological effect on the peo-
pie. Stern methods were used to com.
pel prisoners to work, hs said,
