MERRY XMAS
FOR SOLDIERS;
RED CROSS BUSY
Society Will Provide a Package
for Every American Soldier
and Sailor
WAR FUND NOT TO
BE USED FOR GIFTS

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Every Ameri-
can soldier and sailor will have the
best Christmas the Red Cross can give
him. Each one in this country or
abroad will receive Christmas pack
age, approximating a value OF $l.5o
and containing chewing gum, tobacco,
writing material, games, dried fruit,
candies, puzzles, knives, mouth or
gans, or other articles. Each pack
age is to be wrapped in khaki col
ored handkerchief and tied with red
ribbon.
TO expedite preparation of these
Christmas packages, Harvey Gibson,
general manager of the American Red
Cross, today apportioned the making
of the packets to the thirteen Red
Cross divisions into which the coun-
try has been divided. The work will
be divided among the $500 Red Cross
chapters and one-third of the allot-
ment will have to be in the division
warehouses by November 1.
Money for the purchase of the pack
ages is being raised through contri.
buttons from individuals for this speci-
fic purpose. No part of the Red Cross
war fund will be used.

Germans in Gulf of Riga
Ministry. Announces

Petrograd, Oct. 20.-The Russian
ministry of marine has issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the naval
battle in the Gulf of Riga:
Tuesday night an enemy squad
ron of 20 ships penetrated the Gulf
of Riga, and at 8 o'clock the next
morning was discovered making its
way through the channel south of
Moon, Sound. The squadron included
two battleships OF the Koenig type.
Our detachments, under Admiral Bak-
hirefl, who hoisted his flag on the
cruiser Bayan, accompanied by the
battleships Grjdanin and Slava,
steamed from the eastern part of
Moon island to engage the enemy, pre-.
ceded by torpedo boat patrols, which
withdrew from the engagement"
AT $3.50 o'clock the enemy opened
fire on our detachments issuing from
the channel, took up formation on a
radius between Verdun and Wheel
and lighthouses near Moon Island.
While approaching the enemy the
cruiser Eayan was attacked unsuc-
cessfully.
"At 1890 our detachments engaged
the squadron. The fire of the hostile
dreadnaughts was directed from a dis
tance often beyond the range of our
old time vessels. At noon in view Of
the superiority of the enemy. and ap-
pearance of new enemy warships, the
admiralty ordered the detachment to
ratira into the interior of Moon
Sound"

Points to Benefits to Industries
of Flickerta;ldom Which

North Dakota railways have been
called upon by the state railroad COM
mission to show cause why new COM
modify tariffs based on mileage rates
under the provisions of senate bill
No. II, copy of the Minnesota Cash
man act, should not 0e established.
The railway board submits ten.
tative schedule of commodity rates
based on this act, more as basis for
argument than as tariffs actually to
be established. Hearings on these
rates are announced for Darlington
on Dec. 6, Minot, Dec. Z; Grand Forks,
Dec. 8; Fargo, Dec. 10; Dickinson,
Dec. II, and Bismarck, Dec. IL. Out
of these hearings, to which have been
invited representatives of the Chi.
cago & Northwestern, Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, Farmers Grain
& Shipping Co., Great Northern, Mid
land Continental and Northern Pa
cific.
Effective lntrastate.
The proposed schedule of cOmmod-
ity rates applies only to intrastate
traffic and will not affect interstate
tariffs. Wheat, fax seed, broom corn
seed, buckwheat, wheat flour and all
uncooked grain or cereal products
manufactured from wheat are under
western trunk line rules, and the
tentative rates range from 81 cents
per hundred pounds for five miles to
12 cents per hundred for 400 miles.
Coarse grain ranges for the same
distances and weights from 2.7 cents
10 Ill; potatoes from 3.6 cents to
17.2 cents; hay and straw from 80
to 16; hogs from AZ to 22.1; cattle
and sheep from "A to POT; sheep,
from 49, to 23.3; horses, per car OF
36 1eet, from $lN.56 to $5O.16; brick
per hundred pounds, 2 cents to 10.5;
tile from % to 11.5; crushed stone,
gravel, etc., 1.6 to 6 cents.
Heavy Intrastate 1raffie.
"Wi,h two packing plants in course
of construction in the state, and in
view of the fact that the state IS
raising much of it's own seed grain,
we may expect a steady increase In
intrastate traffic, and these tentative
commodity rates would, we believe,
tend TO further enhance this traffic,
increasing the transportation OF pro-
ducts from one point to another with
in the state rather than the practice
of ecine outside the state for them,
said Rate Expert Little today in dis
cussing the proposed new tariffs
! "These rates should especially tend
to encourage more milling in the
state and to increase the manufacture
of clay PRODUCTS. 1t is our belief
that the entire state will benefit from
cheaper, more equitable, intrastate
