NORTH DAK0TA'S
GUARDSMEN WILL
Be kept ON JOB

Today's word from Washington, via
Senator Porter J. McCum Der, IS that
the mastering out of the First North
Dakota infantry has been suspended
for the present. He advises that II
the boys are furloughed, they will re-
ceive pay for the time spent at home,
but that no action one way or another
is probably until the situation at the
capital clears.
1t has been called to the attention
of the senator that the troops, if
merely furloughed, might find it diff
cult to procure employment, which
would in all probability prove temper
airy. There is some satisfaction, there
fore, in his assurance that If the boys
do come home on leave they will cen
tinueitb draw the small stipend which
Uncle Sam allows his defenders.
Governor Frazier and w. 4. Sick
ley, in charge of the adjutant gen
erals office. have not received word
from Washington or from Fort Smell
ling as to the probable disposition OF
the North Dakota troops. Adjutant
General Tharalson is at FO't Smelling
and he has been wired for advice. but

FUEL SCARCITY IN GERMANY.
Difficulties With Winter Supply Have
Already Begun.

Difficulties with the winter supply
of fuel in Germany, already are be-
ing felt says a letter from Copen-
hagen, Denmark.
Butchers favor Keeping their places
open late two afternoons a week,
otherwise to close with the sun. The
jewelers. plan to keep open only on
those days when artificial light is un-
necessary which, during the north
German winter, are very few. The
city of Stettin already has suspended
street lighting entirely on account of
lack of coal.
The German press and public are
for the moment far more keenly in
terested in problems Of fuel and food
than in politics. Discussion Of ques-
tions Of constitutional reform, except
for angry orders to President Wilson
to keep out Of German affairs, has
practically disappeared from German
newspapers since the reichstag COM
mittee went home and the problem of
the potato is now the topic of the
day.
Farmers are proclaiming an aban-
donment of the compulsory admins
tration of the crop and of maximum
prices and the return to the system
of commercial demand and supply as
a panacea to insure the necessary
supply for human consumption.
Urbanites, on the contrary, main
tain that unless the government per-
sists in its determination to seize all
potatoes the profitable pig and steer
will get most Of them, because in no
year during the war has there been
such an incentive to use potatoes for
fodder as in this year of the very un-
favorable fodder harvest and humans
would get potatoes only at prices i'm
possible for the poor.
Vorwaerts demands an immediate
increase in the potato ration to ten
pounds weekly at reduction in the
price and declares that it is impos-
sible to work and sustain life on the
proposed ration of 5 1-2 pounds of
potatoes, 1850 grams of bread, $50
grams of meat and 80 grams Of fat.
Vorwaerts points out that this year
the scanty harvest of oats and bar
ley will not permit supplementary
ration of oat meal and grits by which
alone the people tided over last
spring.
