COOL BREEZES
Central Part Of State Had
Showers and South Had
Hail Storm.

The torrid breezes OF Saturday were
greatly on Saturday as a re-
suit OF light rains In the central part
of the state, and Sunday in Grand
Forks and vicinity was somewhat
more comfortable, although the mer-
curry mounted to 90 in the afternoon.
The winds, however, did not carry the
burning sensations that were SO en-
ervating on Saturday.
Jamestown broke all records for
North Dakota on Saturday when It
showed the mercury up to liz, two
points better than registered by Moor

peton and Fessenden were tied for
fourth place with 109. Other high

fell to 81 In Bismarck while Bottineau
reported 80.
Light rains were general Saturday
night over the central counties. Fes-
senden reporting 40 OF an inch, Lang

dinarily this precipitation would not
be heavy enough to- greatly revive
crops, after the scorching Of Saturday,
the moisture coupled with yesterday s
cloudy skies and low temperature
helped materially.

WANTS
U.S.. TROOPS ON
EASTERN FRONT
Army Of 100000 Americans
Would Form Force Fatal
to Germany.

San Francisco. July 30.-The pres
ence Of American troops on the east
ern front would be fatal to Germany.
according to General Michel Yassuko-
vich, chief of the Russian military
commission, who was here today.
IF America will send 10000, men
to Russia, she will furnish an army
that will be the nucleus of Russian
army Of a million men that may, be
grouped with fatal results to Ger
many" declared General Yassukovich.
Germany will not be able to face
such a combination in the eastern the
ater, while France, Great Britain and
America press her In the west. There
is no doubt that splendid Russian
armies of q million men each, organ
lied, stiffened and encouraged by the
presence of your troops, can be built
up on the foundations Of each 100, 1000
Americans sent to our 'front.'
Germany is spending money with h
lavish hand in Russia to brtbe agita-
tors, said General l$Yassukovich. Ger
man money alone, Is responsible for
the recent disastrous retreat OF the
tGalician armies, and for the opposi-
ton to. the provisionai<go u

DESTRUCTIVE
STORM SWEEPS
OVER LISBON
500, 1000 Worth Of Property
Destroyed Three
\. Injured.

Lisbon, N. D., July 30.-Three per-
sons were seriously injured, several
others received minor injuries and
property losses which will total prac-
tically 100000 are the results of
a heavy wind storm which swept over
Ranso mcounty last evening.
The men most seriously injured are:
Miller (first name not known, in
jured about the head and legs; Sahl-
sing (first name not known, legs
crushed, and Stickley, a farmer near
Elliot, injured about the head and
body.
The storm started near Engevale
and passed through this place, sweep
ing everything in its path for dis
tance Of 20 miles. Persons who made
a trip through the district later state
that at least so barns we're destroyed
and many smaller buildings were
blown down.
y The Monarch elevator in Lisbon was
blown over and the canning factory
Is a total loss. Telephone and electric
light wires were torn down, houses
twisted on their foundations and large
plate glass windows broken. The
greater portion of the trees in the
city were blown down. At the sold
iers' home the trees in the park were
totally destroyed, but none of the
buildings were damaged. A number
! of the freight cars standing on the
Northern Pacific track were over
turned and the roof Of the newly con-
structed warehouse of the Thompson
lumber yards was blown away.
Reports coming to the city are tc
the effect that a large amount Of
stock had been killed and the crops
in the path Of the storm were driver
into the ground. There is little hope
Of saving the crops. &
Stories Of several freaks of the
storm are told. Chickens were strip.
iped OF their feathers, barns lifted an6
carried away with little damage donl
to them. masses Of earth moNed sew
teraI hundred feet and various pthel
stories are related by farmers Al
one farm every building was de-
fstroyed with the exception Of a smal
smoke house. il5j!
It is difficult to determine whether
1.-THE storm was a tornado or whether
| it was head-on wind. At sons
places it appeared to have twist to i
and at other places 1t was a straigh
wind. In some portions a large
amount of hail fell, while other plcae'
report heavy rains.
Damage at Englevale and Ellio
was not serious as at first reported.

COAL SHORTAGE GETS
ATTENTION OF R. r..
\ WAR BOARD AT ONCE

St, Paul, Mimi. July so.-Further
measures were taken by the rail-
roads war board sthe past week to
overcome the threatened serious coal
shortage by sending a committee Of
four members to eastern coal centers
to confer with mine operators. These
men EXPECT to, remain three weeks in
an effort to have the fuel production
stimulated to meet the needs Of north
estern consumers. t5
The. national defense board Of the
American Railway association has
adopted forced methods so that the
public Will not suffer lack Of fuel next
winter. The matter Of securing ample
coal has been discussed in its various
phases for. several weeks by the Twin
City sub CONN ttees OF thu Srss WAYS
defense board. This resulted I'm seS
curing cars to move the commodity as
fast as it is produced.
Upon their return, the railroad
committee will report to various COM
mercial bodies. The carriers, through
their war defense committee, believe
the conferenc now in progrss will re-
suit in a vastly increased tonnage be-
ing shipped via the Great Lakes in

hood Of Locomotive Firemen and En-

Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen.
No "Oosed Shop Rule.
According to joint statement, the
sclosed shop" which is claimed by the
railroad managers to have, been a
lprimary cause for the calling of the
strike, ceases to be an issue, 1t being
stated that matters at issue are to
be settled without the adoption Of a
closed shop rule or Of any rule that
might fairly be considered as equival-
ent to such" wv

eral other minor issues are yet to be
settled, but arrangements were made
for further meetings tomorrow at
which time 1t is believed they may be
adjusted.

out as to the number of men who ac-
tually quit work. All

has been only slightly affected and all
perisable freight has been removed
without delay. FL
