Anticipates Unusual Number
of Calls for Help.

"The month of August has been
quiet for various reasons" says Rev.
D. e. McCracken, superintendent of
the. Glad Tidings mission, in his
monthly report, Issued today.
First, 1t is a vacation month for
many, and, in fact, the superintend-
ent, with his family, took two weeks
off, which was spent very proftably
at Battle Lake, MINI.
with the approach of fall aVd
winter the demands are already com
ing in for Investigations and some
relief, and we know that with the
present conditions prevailing, every
charitable institution of this, as well
as other cities, will be taxed to
its limit. We shall be glad to have
our friends continue to remember us
with their cast-of clothing OF all
kinds, particularly for women and
children, and these we will call for
every Friday afternoon. Our day for
the distribution of this is sssnday

delegates remained on the train.
They were met by q handful of SYM
pathizers at the station. There was
no demonstration.
Hours passed without definite
word as to where the delegation was
to go. The period developed trouble
on the telephone wire to Minneapo-
lis and the committee appointed to
get hold of Mr.. Lochner had nothing
to report.
The delegates left the train later
and met in a hotel and chose Mrs.
Julia s. Poyntz as chairman and
after several suggestions as to the
future course, adjourned to get
something to eat.
On the train a petition was cir
culated to go to Minneapolis regard
less OF the opposition of the Mime
sofa governor. It obtained a few sig
natures and then disappeared. Those
back of the petition asserted that
their courage had been challenged
and that for that reason If for no
other they should proceed to Mime
apolis.
Sarah Baird Field was quoted as
having said on the trip in comment
ing on the various changes as to a
meeting place that the meeting had
gone bust She was derided by 9TH
ers.
Joseph Cohen Of New York made
the longest speech of the meeting.
He explained that the gathering
must not be confused with the meet
ing planned; that those present
merely represented the organizing
committee and that the Peoples
Council for Democracy and Peace as
yet had not been organized.

nnitory.
President George A. Mcfarland Of

new BOARD TO
Be USED FIRST
time TONIGHT
Northwestern Telephone
Exchange to "Cut Over"
At Midnight

Another epoch in the industrial
development of Fargo comes at mid
night when the Northwestern TeIe-
phone exchange will cut over to its
new switchboard in its new 5000, 900
building located on First avenue
north, between Third and Fourth
streets.
Six thousand three hundred
subscribers OF the exchange will be
benefited by the change, being as
sured Of a more distinct line and
better service throughout the city
and the 81 toll lines terminating in
Fargo. which outside OF Minneapolis
and st. Paul is the largest toll center
in the northwest -.-
Latest Type of Board.
The new switchboard and equip
ment cost $4,000 and is supposed
TO be the latest type manufa ctured
by the Western Electric Co. It was
due to the foresight of the officials
oc the Northwestern Telephone cx-
change that Fargo is getting the
board at this time, because OF war
conditions. Officials some time ago
saw the need Of a new board for
Fargo and placed the order with the
result that 1t was ready upon the
completion of the new building.
The new board is located on the
third floor of the building. Most Of
dispositions will be full during the
busiest hours of the exchange which
are from 10 to IL o'clock in the
morning when something like 5000
calls are handled. Apportionately
$4,000 local calls are handled during
the day.
Big Growth Shown.
An increase OF 30 per cent in the
number of subscribers since 1912
reflects the business here. To date
there are $500 subscribers compared
with about 1900 in 1912. The bigger
the increase the more volume OF
service to the subscriber and at no
additional charge. -.
According to Mgr. w. L. Albright,
who has been in charge here for the
last two years, coming to Fargo from
Wahpeton, the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. employs 200 persons in its
Fargo office. Mr.. Albright has been
with the firm since 1908, first enter
ing its employ at st. Cloud, MINI.
He stated today that the company
has installed a 25-horse- power
emergency engine, which would be
Immediately started should any break
occur in the Fargo electric service.
Resting Room.
A resting room has been provided
for the operators on the second floor.
This room will be fitted with COM
Portable lounging chairs and plenty
of reading material. A gas stove
will also be installed in order that
they might have lunches. The
company grants its operators a 10
minute recess period each morning
and afternoon.
The business office Of the exchange
has been located in the new building
for the past three or four months,
the operators still working in the old
building on the corner of First ave-
nue. north and Fourth street.
Fargo holds the distinction of be-
ing the district headquarters for the
Northwestern Telephone Co. Frank
Bracelin, who has been a resident
here since 1912, coming from Crooks
ton, is the district commercial man
ager, having served in that capacity
in the Minnesota city.

started in Chicago and he immediat-
ely called Adjutant General Dickson
into conference to consider the meas
ures to carry out his order, that the
conference be prevented.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-Officers Of the
Peoples Council Of America for
Democracy and Peace today said
that IL the proposed peace confer
ence is barred from Chicago and
ruled out of the national capital by
official Washington, a steamship will
be chartered for it's deliberations on
the high seas off the New England
coast.
Two special trains bearing dele
gates to the organization meeting
are scheduled to arrive here today
and after that the delegates will de-
eide on their next move.
Chicago, the delegates already
here say, is considered as the home
Of the convention, and little urg-
ing by someone in authority will
keep them there.
Fargo. N. d.: Minneapolis; Hud-
son, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City and
Washington, have proved undesir-
able places in which to hold the first
convention of the society. In each
instance someone has indicated that
the peace delegates were unwelcome
and Chicago because Of its geog-
raphical location, became the as
sembling place of several factions
last night and today. None of these
elements, however, seemed to know
Just where they were bound.
The 100 delegates VINO arrived here
last night on a special train from
New York held at least four meet
ings Of negligible results during the
evening. Today they are again en-
deavoring to reach a decision as to
where they will go to complete their
organization.
Louis P. Lochner, secretary Of the
organization committee, arrived
here today from Minneapolis, and
Hudson, Wis. and Immediately join
ed in the discussion Of the probable
meeting place.
An attitude of fight was shown by
some Of the delegates who arrived
here last night, when an effort was
made to force through a resolution
deciding to hold the meeting at Min
neapolis, as originally planned, re-
gardless of the veto Of Governor J.
A. A. Burnquist tf Minnesota, to the
effect that the meeting could not be
held in that state. The motion failed.
A steamer anchored safe distance
off shore, a hunting lodge in the
northern woods, a Chicago ball park
and several other places were con-
sidered and refused by the delegation
here.
Two local halls, 1t is said, have
been offered for the meeting and the
consent of Mayor William Hale
Thompson has been obtained, the
delegates claim. Mayor Thompson is
quoted as saying there is nothing
he can do to prevent them from
holding their meeting here If they so
desire.

Amsterdam, Sept. THE central
