A letter from Washington, d. c.,
gives an account of the need for knit
ted articles, such as dozens, even hum
dreds of women in town are doing.
One occasionally hears that the knit
ting fad is overworked, but the gov
ernment bulletin continues to call for
more knitted articles. The letter is
as follows:
More than 5000 wooden garments
knitted by the workers of the Navy
league comforts committee are being
shipped each week to the men of the
navy and marine corps, it was an
nounced here today.
The articles are all being sent thru
individual channels in accordance with
the instructions of Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, it was said.
Demands for the comfort articles
from the ships and from marine corps
units are heavier than ever and Navy
league workers are being pressed to
keep up with the needs of the men
preparing for the fighting line. Orders
for the purchase of wool to make the
garments are increasing in volume, it
was announced, which indicates that
the women workers are responding to
the calls of the men of the service and

FLOUR EXPORTS

Government Alone Will
Trade Abroad-Small
Packages Eliminated
CBy Associated Press.)

New York, Nov 3.-The milling
division of the United States food
administration announced here last
night that effective Immediately, all
direct trading by American millers,
exporters and blenders of flour with
European countries is prohibited.
This business will be handled here
after only by the food administra-
ton.
The new regulations were made,
it was STATED, Ito effect proper con-
troll and to centralize the handling of
exports of flour to European, neu-
trails" and in order to protect the
interest of consumers who have
necessarily had to pay a relatively
high price for -four purchased in very
small packages"
II also was announced that effeC-
tive Dec. l. all flour millers Operat-
ing under agreement with the fed
eral food administration, will not
be permitted to sell -four in packages
Of other than one eighth, One-quar-
ter and one-half barrel or larger. and
from Jan. 1, 1918, no miller will be
permitted to ship flour in packages
other than those described"
1T is anticipated" a. statement
said, that the elimination of the
small sacks may temporarily dis
turb established grade customs, but
it is believed that in districts of con-
gested population, the retailer will
meet the situation to some extent by
the sale of flour from bulk packages
in the grOCer's sacks.

Await Rural Returns.
1t will probably be the middle OF
next week before the returns from
the rural districts have been re-
ceived- and computed. Special work
was done by the food administration
department in laying before the agri-
cultural communities the ideas ex-
pressed in the campaign. Pamphlets
which went into these districts stat
ed that no greater service could be
performed both toward our nation
in providing food supply which we
must save for ourselves and furnish
to our allies, nor any service more in
the interest Of our agricultural COM
muntty than the announcement of
animal production, particularly hogs,
in this emergency.
The production of fats is today
considered a critical necessity for
the maintenance of supremacy in

sure OF service as every bullet and
every hog is Of greater value to the
winning OF this war than a shell"

EIGHT KILLED ON
U. S. S. FINLAND
Torpedo Which Damaged
Army Transport Took
G Toll of Ships Grew
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 3.-The torpedo
ing of the homeward bound army
transport Finland in the war zone
four days ago resulted in the death
Of two members of the naval armed
guard, two army enlisted men and
four of the ships civilian crew. A
third naval seaman is missing.
Vice Admiral Sims report of the
casualties to the naval department
today added no details to the an
nouncement yesterday that the Fin
land had been torpedoed. but had
been able to reach a European port
under her own steam.
The announcement that five of the
men were drowned indicated to off,
Gals that the Finland's company left
the vessel in small boats until it was
made certain that she would remain
ahoat. The capsiZing Of one of, the
boats in launching, might account
for the drowning of the men.
1t is assumed that two of the arm
ed guard were killed by the explosion
OF the torpedo and that the missing
one probably was blown overheard by
the explosion as was a seaman on the
Destroyer Cassin when she was tor
pEdoed recently.

DISTRICT COURT

Harry Davis, alias "Maher'. and
w. NJ. Smith, alias Johnston" we're
held to the Clay county grand jury
at Moorhead this noon by Police
Magistrate Wade to answer to the
charge OF burglarizing o. c. Martin
sons jewelry store Friday night.
Davis or "Maher" was discovUeed
in the Martinson store at Front and
Fourth streets at 11:45 Friday night.
He was behind the counter with his
hat and coat off and officer Filing
son tapped on the door and asked
who he was. Davis said he was
Martinson's son-in-law and ordered
Ellingson away from the door.
The officer hurried to the police
station, just across the street. and
called A. j. O'Laughlin. former chief
who is acting as desk sergeant. Be-
fore they reached the store there was
a crash of glass and the two officers
followed the man who had climbed
through the door after kicking out
the glass. They captured Davis in
the alley west of the MOorhead house
on First avenue south.
When searched, the prisoner had
two watches, two lavalleres and set
Of studs and II cents. All except
the money was identified by Mr..
Martinson as his property.
About the time of the robbery
Smith started a disturbance in the
pool room of the Allen hotel, one
block north of the Martinson store.
Chief Malvey knew the two men had
been seen together and was sure that
Smith was stalling to draw the at
tention of the officers from the rob-
berry. Smith was arrested on a
charge of assault.
When arraigned this morning
Davis said that he and Smith had
framed the robbery and that: Smith
wanted to make the jewelry store;
but / said l would do it,. He told
how he and Smith had seen the
transom over the front door open
and planned the robbery while on
their way to Fargo. Davis told how
he ripped the screen loose and
through the open transom.
He tried the safe and "frisked" the
cash register for II cents; then he
picked" the watches and jewelry
out of the window. He said he was
behind the show case in the store
with his hat and coat off; and look
ing at book when the officer rap
ped on the door. Davis also testified
that they had planned to dispose of
the "swag" in Minneapolis.

CONSUMPTION
OF INDUSTRIES
IS DISCUSSED
Manufacturers Pledge Any
Efforts That Are Needed
to Win War
WILL DEVOTE PLANTS
- TO WAR MATERIALS
Government Will Take No
Action That Will Grip
pie Industry
INV Associated Press.N

Washington, Nov. 3.-Conscription
of industries to supply the needs OF
the army, was discussed today by
the war industries board with auto
mobile and accessories manufacture
ers, who pledged their full co-opera-
ton to the government in whatever
is necessary to win the war.
The plan is to divert part OF each
plant to the production of war ma
terial. 1t was made plain to the
manufacturers today that while
their help is required, the govern
ment has no intention of taking any
drastic action which would cripple
the industry.
It was arranged to have manufac-
turers represented in the national
automobile chamber of commerce
and the motor and accessories manu-
facturers. appoint a committee to
work with the autOmotive products
section Of the war Industries board
in planning how the big automobile
factories of the country can be of the
greatest service.
4Today's conference is the first of
many to be held with makers of nom
essentials as the progress of the war
makes greater demands on the coun-
try's resources. All such industries
probably will be called upon to fall
in line behind the government in
curtailing the production of every
thing not making a direct COntribu-
ton to the nations fighting eff
cheney. in conserving coal and raw
materials. and in relieving the strain
of the transportation system.
Business men directing the gov
eTnment's vast war expenditures
have found 1t advisable to take their
work to established factories rather
than to create wholly new agencies
for making war supplies. In this
way. it is said, greater efficiency has
been obtained, and at the same time,
Industrial organizations built up by
private enterprise have been kept
together.
