Italians Holding Stubbornly in
the Bitterest Conbats Of War

The Neighborly Study club met
with Mrs. Bordwell on Fifth street.
The parliamentary drill was upon the
work of committees. Instead of the
usual study Of some one author it had
been arranged that for this meeting
each member bring in few selections
recently gathered from the field of
modern poets and writer's. This prov
ed an interesting treat. War poetry
seemed to prenominate but present
day poets of nearby states also came
in for a good showing. The next
meeting will be held with Mrs. Annie
Greenwood.

Minneapolis, Nov. 15.-The unusual
action Of j. r. Waters, state bank ex-
aminer OF North Dakota, in ordering
state banks there not to pay certain
certificates of deposit, is the occasion
Of suits filed in Minneapolis today
against rs North Dakota banks by
the Union State bank, tying up the
balance of the North Dakota banks in
other Minneapolis banks by garnish-
ment proceedings.
The certificates of deposit were is
sued last spring by North Dakota
banks in favor of the Bankers Insur-
ance company of Helena, Mont, which
wrote policies insuring farmers crop
return amounting to 81 an acre, for
10 per cent premium. Notes were Civ
en- for the premiums, and banks In
each locality took the notes for collec-
tiOn, giving certificates of deposit pay>
able Nov. l in return for them.
Crop Losses Delay Payment
The Union State bank of Minneapo-
lis took a number of the certificates Of
deposit and the great part of them
have been paid. But the general crop
failure in western North Dakota hit

has been slow in settling losses. Bank
Examiner Waters a few days ago
sent letters to all state banks, notify
ing them not to pay the certificates of
deposit until the insurance company
has settled all it's losses in the state.
The result of this action is to tie
up the very funds that the company
needs to settle losses, and in many
localities where losses have been paid
the certificates Of deposit have been
held up. ..
North Dakota Move Awaited
Bank Examiner Waters announced
that he was acting pursuant to an
opinion by Attorney General William
LANCER. The action taken in Mime
apolis today, however, removes the
controversy from jurisdiction of the
North Dakota courts, and there is con-
siderable curiosity among local bank.

ering that could not possibly find en-
trance to the church, came together
Sunday afternoon to pay the last re-
Spects to the late Mrs. Hess,-wife of

man Lutheran church. The services
were held at 1:30, Rev. J. F. L. Bohn-
hoff, of Valley City, and Rev. H. Elster,

The floral offerings were numerous
and Of great beauty, showing the great

held. There were about one hundred
and fifty friends who sent cards ac-
companied with flowers.
1t was possible to admit only about

Among those from out of town
we're the brother of the deceased,

pOrary only if stable government is
formed which the United States can
recognize. If the Bolsheviki gain con.
troll and pursue their program calling
for peace with Germany, the en-
barge will be made permanent. A

In 1916 the Pennsylv snia Railroad
System carried in its trains more
people than in any previous year of
its history, and did so without losing
the life of a single passenger in
train accident of any kind. Statistics
which have just been compiled show
that during the year there were trans
ported safely, on the Lines East and
West of Pittsburg, 1876, 294, 146 pas
sengers. Figures for the last few
weeks of the year are necessarily
partly estimated. The heaviest freight
traffic ever handled by the Pennsyl-
vania Raiload System was moved over
it's lines at the same time that these
passengers were being carried without
loss of life. The entire Pennsylvania
Railroad System, taking into account
every affiliated company either east
or west of Pittsburg, now has to its
credit three full calendar years in
which no passenger has been killed as
a result of a train accident on any
portion of the lines. During this
period 553, 800, O63 passengers-equal
to five and one half times the popula'
tion of, the United States-havine
been safely transported a total dis.
tsnce of approximately fifteen billion!
of miles, or $50 times as far as tht
sun is from the earth. Upward Of
5000, 900 trains. carrying both pas
sengers and freight, were operated by
day and night, through sleet and storm,
and fog and sunshine, over 1900
miles of railroad line and 27, 900 miles
