GERMAN CROWN COUNCIL
HOLDS SECRET SESSION
Believed That Bin Providing Uni
versa1 Franchise Will BE
"a. introduced.
CBy Associated Press. }

London, July 1.-THE crown coun-
Gil called by Emperor William was
held in Berlin yesterday, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Amsterdam today, but no an
nouncement as to what took place at
the gathering has been made.
"The German public is very uneasy
regarding the absence of news as to
the decisions of the crown council
which the emperor held yesterday
says the dispatch. only in items OF
greatest stress are such meetings
held" "
other advices from the same source
say that the meeting of the crown
council lasted three hours, being one
of the longest on record since July,
1914, when Emperor William signed
the mobilization order that preceded
the declaration of war.
The ministers of both the empire
and the kingdom were in attendance,
together with the members of the
emperor's military and naval cabinet
1t is believed, says the dispatch,
that one of the results of the council
will be the introduction of a franchise
bill for Prussia granting universal,
direct suffrage and the secret ballot.

MAY Be WEEKS
BEFORE MILITIA
ORDERED West
No Orders Reach Fargo as
to Mobilizing at Fort
Lincoln
ELECT A SECOND
LIEUTENANT TONIGHT
Special Election Called by
Adjutant General For
Company B

At the headquarters of Company
B in the armory no orders had been
received this afternoon officially
designating Fort Lincoln as the
mobilization point for the state
troops. E
The only information at the armory
Tuesday afternoon, stating orders to
mobilize at that point had been re-
ceived in the adjutant generals Of
flee at Bismarck. n
May Remain Months. :
A report from Bismarck today
which was based on the strength Of
the order received at the adjutant
generals office Tuesday stated that
there is a possibility that the state
troops may remain at Fort Lincoln
until next September, and perhaps
longer
1t is argued there that if the troops
are concentrated at Palo Alto, CAL,
where they will leave the militia for
regular army service, that the war
department may not find it advis-
able to move them in mid summer
from a comparatively temperate
climate to one of reeking heat.
Both REGENTS. it is stated, are

will require much seasoning before
they are in condition to stand radical
changes of climate.
Matter of Supplies.
In Fargo, members Of Company B
believe that 1t is a matter of sup
plies and equipment before they
move. Sunday has been set as the
date for the mastering of the state
troops in federal service and it is
the belief Of the members that they
will remain and drill here until they
are equipped as is being done in
South Dakota and that when the
equipment is complete, the move
ment will not be to Bismarck but
to the concentration point. The date
for leaving the militia service for
United States regular service is
August 8.
Latest advices are to the effect that
the first regiment is now about 600
men short. The second has about
900 men to date and must recruit L.
100 more. 1t is very probable that
both of these regiments will be filled
by drafting.
EnIistind With Local Company.
Since the Presidents proclamation
was issued calling for the mastering
in of the state troops to federal SER
vice next Sunday, enlistments are
beginning to come faster for Com
pany B. 1t is the belief of the Of
fcers of the local company that when
recruiting starts there will be little
difficulty in getting the Fargo COM
pany to war strength.
Bismarck reports this afternoon
that weeks must elapse before the
giant cantoments in which the
troops are to be housed can be COM
pleted. $50.

The coal now on the docks
amounts to about 100000 tons, when
il should be at least 1000, 900 tons.
The total movement to the head
of the lakes should be 100000 tons
for the season, requiring 2,000SOO
tons a month for the remainder of
the season. On the basis of the
movement thus far in July, the
month will fall far short.
Unless the council of national
defense takes early action to hurry
coal to the head of the lakes a short
age that will cripple industries and
cause suffering next winter will re-
suit" is the gist of statements made
by big consumers and coal compan-
] les here today.
