POTATO SHORTAGE
ACUTE IN GERMANY;--
OATS CROP ALSO POOR

Copenhagen, Nov. 21.-The German
food ministry, in replying to a petit
tion from the workingmen in the Sol
ingen district declared it is impossible
to increase the potato ration of one
pound daily because it is doubtful if
the original great expectations as to
the size of the potato crops are real
lied. Although the potato crops un-
doubtedly is good this year it would
seem that the German authorities had
exaggerated the crop returns. In ear
lier announcements it was said that
the great potato crop had solved the
difficulty.
The oats crop is so poor that Ger
man farms will be permitted to retain
for the feed of their own horses only
fodder and grain of their own raising
to give each horse a daily ration of
two pounds. The army horses for
months have been on two pound ra-
tion, resulting in the wholesale break
down Of horse transport.

JAPAN DEFENDS
HER POLICY
ORIENTAL SAYS EUROPE UN-
DERSTANDS JAPAN DESPITE
AMERICAN BRICKBATS.

New York, Nov. 21.-An answer to
charges that Japan is lukewarm to the
allied cause because it's armies are not
fighting on European battlefelds,
which he said appear occasionally in
the American press, was made before
the Rotary club here yesterday by DR..
T. Iyenaga, director of the east and
west news bureau.
He declared that Japan is under
stood in Europe and is carrying out
fully it's part of the program original
ly agreed upon, and that it had not
been seen fit by the allies to suggest
any change in the plan.
"Its none Of Japan's business to in
trude herself up on Europe's battle
fields" he said. "Such an enterprise
would be entirely out of harmony with
the wise and far sighted policy that
must guide Japan, for in pursuing an
other. course she would be bound to
face the dilemma either of losing her
hard won military prestage or of re-
awakening the cry Of yellow peril
which is now fortunately on the point
of being committed to oblivion"

TWO VIOLATE
LIQUOR LAW

Henry Roseth and Henry Askelson,
two young fellows from Edmore, were
brought to this city Saturday evening
by Chas. Oakley Of that village, and
confined in the county Jail on the
charge Of bringing liquor into the
state contrary to law. It seems that
the boys had been to Minneapolis and
when ready to leave for home had
purchased a small quantity of liquor
to bring back with them. On their
arrival at Edmore on Saturday after
noon's train they We're met by Con-
stable Oakley who arrested them and
found the liquor in their possession.
Askelson had half-pint bottle half
full in his pocket while Roseth had
suit case in which a larger quantity
was found.
The boys deny any thought of inten-
tional wrong-doing, not knowing that
the law was so strict, but realize now
the gravity of the situation.
LATER: The boys above mention
ed were brought before Judge Buttz
last evening. Through their attorney
Ray Smythe, their case was explain
ed to the Judge. It seems that the
bartender in Minneapolis had told
them that there was test case of the
liquor law before the supreme court
and that until decision was reached
they were at liberty to take home with
them limited amount of liquor for
their own use. The amount they had
with them, according to the boys was
to be used by themselves and their
friends in little get-together meet
ing before they left for the train. .og
camps as both are drafted and a,e
awaiting their call. Under the con-
ditions the judge suspended sentence
after giving them some very good ad-
vice as to their future conduct. They
We're released last evening and left
for their homes this noon.

NORTHWEST REVEALED
ENLARGED
RATIONS AS BLUFF

Copenhagen, Nov. 18.-The view
that the German authorities are pur-
suing policy Of bluff at the present
time in granting food allowances
considerably higher than are justified
by the crops Of the year, seemingly
is confirmed by the recent food de-
bates in the Prussian diet. It was
stated in these debates that it prob
ably would be necessary to reduce both
the meat and bread rations March 1,
to make the stock last through.
The food authorities, according to
all information reaching here, appear
to be gambling on the chances of
peace before spring and now have set
great hopes on the results of Russian
and Italian developments.

SONS OF NORWAY LODGE
TO PAY INSURANCE
DUES OF MEN AT WAR

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 19.-Members of
the local Sons of Norway lodge, have
voted to assume the insurance of their
members who entered the service Of
the nation prior to September 20, it
was announced yesterday by John G..
Halland, president of the Fargo lodge.
The insurance is based on the as
sessment plan," said Mr.. Halland,
"and this means that the members
who stay at home will simply pay the
assessments Of the boys who have
gone to war. This is something that
we are able to do, being organized as
we are. The decision in favor of the
plan by the Fargo organization was
unanimous"

MINNEAPOLIS BANK MUST
AID MONTANA RISK FIRM

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 18.-Attor-
ney General William LANCER today re-
ceived telegram from George w.
Walker. president of the Bankers In
surance company Of Helena, Mont,
saying the company expects to be able
within the next few days to pay
drafts on premiums to farmers in
North Dakota who insured their crops
against draught.
The attorney general says he does
not anticipate a lawsuit, but that he
has made it clear to the insurance
company and the Union State Bank of
Minneapolis that unless the farmers
get back their premium money he will
go the limit in invoking the civil and
criminal laws of the state.
