SALVATION ARMY DOES
WORK Of ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES IN CAPITAL
Organization Finds Many Needy
Families Needing Assistance;
Asks Support

In Bismarck, which has no organ.
lied associated charities, the work as
sumed by such an institution in other
cities falls upon the Salvation army.
The army very quietly and effectively
has proceeded about it's business in
the Capital City, caring for numerous
needy families; assisting fallen men
and women; warning boys and girls
who wer near the brink; not making
much display of it's good-doing, nor
asking more than nominal assistance.
Recent demands upon the army
have indicated an unusual need for as
%sistance to unfortunate Bismarck fam
lilies if they are to he tided over all
immediate emergency. The county is
investigating these cases and no doubt
will take them over, but the army
finds that something must be done in
the interim. 1t suggests, therefore,
that the charitably inclined give the
army such aid as they can in this phil
anthropic work.
The army soon is to begin a CAM
paign to raise $1,000 to pay off the
last mortgage on it's Main street bar
racks and to make certain improve
ments. Those familiar with the or
ganization regard it a real asset to
Bismarck, and feel certain the Capital
City will gladly contribute the small
amounts required.

The Old Black Hills Trail, a high
way wound round with more romance
than any other route in the great
northwest, will be formally resurrect-
ed at a meeting here November 10 Of
the Devils Lake-Bismarck-B Black Hills
Trail association. Not that thte Black
Hills trail really needs a resurrection.
1t never has been abandoned since the
early seventies'when the argonauts Of
old piled it with their supply trains,
taking equipment into the Black Hills,
and their carefully guarded caravans,
bringing out the yellow gold Like
many of those old trails, following the
natural contour of the land, 1t can
hardly be improved upon by modern
engineering. The plan of the associa-
ton is to blaze it in the present day
fashion; straighten some Of its hills,
reduce some OF the grades, widen it
here and there, and surface it ulti-
mately with gravel from end to end.
The Black Hills trail ultimately will
become a through international high
way from Winnipeg to Denver. Al.
ready it is laid out and in general

TOWNS FIGHT TOPEKA
Effort To Split Convention and Swing
1t To Another City.

A final effort to hold the state
teachers association meeting for To-
peka will be made early next month,
according to action taken this after
noon at the meeting of the board of
directors.
A letter canvass of the state will be
made thru the teachers association
pointing to the efforts Topeka has
made to make the annual association
meeting a success. The whole trouble,
according to members of the board.
lies in the fact that western towns
have attempted to get the annual
meeting Having failed they have
started to solicit outside help from
other cities of the state, with the defi-
mite purpose in mind to take the COM
bined meeting later on. This was the
assertion made by the board of di-
rectors.
Just before the convention is call
ed the Chamber of Commerce, will
send letters to members of the Kansas
Teachers association, stating the ad-
vantages that Topeka has for the
meeting and the favOrs she has be-
slowed upon the convention in the
past as well as the better meeting
place that the city will probably have
as soon as the war loan is off the
citizens shoulders.

Gigantic Ship Building Cam

We Have Just Begun To Fight,
Declares Chairman.
100000 MORE WORKMEN
Can Mobilize Them at Once
When They're Needed.
Next Years Production Ten
Times That of 1915.

Washington, Oct. 31-Answering
the allies call for 100000 tons of
new American shipping in 1918, Chair
man Hurley, of the United States ship
ping board, today said the country's 9
yards will deliver 100000 tons.
This punch" was put into the gov
ernments anti-submarine campaign at
meeting of representatives of all
steel ship building plants on the At
iantic seabOard. Hurley called upon
employers and employees to place the
yards on three shift night and day
basis.
I'VE have just begun to fight" he
said
Admiral Capps, general manager of
the emergency fleet corporation, as
sured the ship builders that red tape
would be cut out in the future. He
help labor needs, Wen give to labor.
Whatever help the shipyards need,
Wen give to the shipyards."
Labor Ready to Aid.
President O'ConneIl, of the metal
trades division, American Federation
of Labor, told the meeting that he is
ready to mobilize 100000 more ship
yard workers at once to rush thru the
greater building program.
The meeting was one of the most
important and enthusiastic war con-
ferences held here
TT is my hope that today will es-
tablish a milestone in Americas war
progress" said Hurley. Between now
and March 1 this country will turn
out 100000 tons of ships. In the
whole of 1916 we turned out little
over 100000. The new goal of our
expectations is ten times the produc-
ton of 1916.
Every ounce of our energy and in
iniative must be directed toward the
achievement of the greatest task ever
imposed upon nation in war. We
are going to build 100000 dead
weight tons of ships in 1918" Hurley
continued, referring to Lord North
c1iffe's outline of the allies needs. to
the United Press. 'I say we are go

thing America sets out to do she does.
Spirit of UnseIfishness.
CAS- a fighting nation we have a

The young Americans in the

that everything we have to give will
be given in the same spirit of un-
selfishness''
Il want to pay a tribute to the
patriotism of labor in this situation.
Ship yard owners probably do not
understand the obstacles which the
patriotic labor Of the country has had
to overcome. Nor does labor prob

SUNK A U-BOAT!
And Three Hours Later Ameri-
can Vessel Was TOrpedoed.
Shot Between PeriscOpes Sent
"Sub" to the Bottom.

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 31.-Twenty-
six survivors of the torpedoed Ameri-
can steamer Lewis Lukenbach, arriv-
ing here today on a French liner,
brought a thrilling story of the sink
ing of a German U-boat and told how
their ship was torpedoed three hours
after their successful encounter.
Describing the event, Third Mate
Richard Dunphie, of Brockton, Mass,
said:
I'VE first sighted the U-boat about
a mile off our port bow but she sub
merged before we could get our guns
in action. She reappeared only a half
mile dead ahead and this time our
gunners were ready for her. The
first shell from our five-inch bow gun
struck the submarine squarely between
the two periscopes. A column of
water shot up from the sub and she
disappeared A few minutes later
when we passed the spot, the water
was still boiling and a heavy film of
oil was plainly visible.
Didn't See Second U-Boat.
I'VE were proceeding with a small
French trawler as convoy some
three hours later and making for a
French port when without the slight
est warning or without seeing the sub
marine which attacked us, We were
! torpedoed."
The officer who halls. from Brock
ton, Mass, expressed surprise that the
fact had not become known in the
United States and declared that
American naval officers on the other
side knew of the incident and con-
ceded the sinking of the undersea
boat.
The Lukenbach, a steel screw YES
sci of 1905 tons was sunk while

! The captain, nine members of the
crew and one of the naval gunners
aboard were reported lost in the sink
