HEAVY FIGHTING.
.(By Rievew Leased Wire)

,(By Rievew Leased Wire)
 LONDON, Nov 12.-The Petrograd correspondent of the Exchange Tele graph company sends the following:
 After heavy fighting at Moscow, in which there were 700 casualties, the parties came to terms on the basis of the creation of a socialistic govern ment, including Bolesheyiki.
 UItimatum Sent
 ''The Petrograd railway union sent an ultimatum to the workmen's and soldiers delegates and the safety of the country committee demanding that they effect conciliation by organizing all the domestic power; otherwise the union would call general strike. Thi, Bolsheyiki agreed to this, but the oth- CT domestic groups were unwilling to negotiate with the Bolsheviki until they entirely surrendered. Negotia- tions. however, were resumed and the railway union deferred the strike for twelve hours.
 Offensive Abandoned.
 "The Bolsheviki have abandoned their offensive also and now consider themselves in the position of organ izers of defence revolutions against the armies of Kerenesky. Korniloff and Kaledines. The Petrograd garri- son has elected a special committee to guarantee the safety of the popI- lation. Army headquarters express themselves in favor of a communica- tion of the dometstric groups"

COMMUNICATION
COM M ENDS IDEA
Editor Banner,

Editor Banner,
Dear Sir:
1 wish to commend the idea pub
lished in your paper Friday for train
ing young Mt. Vernon singers. | do
not know to what extent the Festi-
val association can help in such a
movement, as it seems to have its
hands pretty full in keeping the con-
certs going. But II there is any per-
son or persons who want to do some
thing big for music in Mt. Vernon,
they can't spend their money in any
better way.
There are now, and have been in
years back, fine natural voices in Mt.
Vernon. But the trouble is that as
soon as a singers voice begins to
show any quality at all, he or she is
engaged to sing in church and on
every other possible occasion, and
the result is that they not only get
a lot of bad habits, but by the time
their voices ought to be at their
best, they have become worn and
thin. don't blame the young sing
ers for this, but it seems a pity that
they can't have the chance to make
the most of themselves.
] don't suppose many who read this
will recall Grafton G. Baker, son of
DR.. p. A. Baker. Guy Baker, as he
was called, had one of the finest nat
ural tenor voices | ever heard. He
sang around Mt. Vernon as a boy
and young man, and then went with
the Bostonians for couple of years.
After that, he dropped out of sight.
have always felt that IL Guy Bakers
voice had been properly cultivated,
he would be to Mt. Vernon today
what Evan Williams is to Akron. |
believe Mr.. Devin, who knew him
well and sang with him in operas,
etc. will bear me out in this.
So, say, give our young singers
chance. Though you may not be
repaid in money, as is proposed, you
will surely be in gratitude, and in the
feeling of having done a fine thing.
Very truly yours,
A MEMBER OF THE CHORUS.

PYTHIAN GRADES

Cincinnati Would Have Been Victor.

Portion Of RituaI-Degree
Work Was Splendid

Clerk OF Courts o. G. Taylor has
returned from Columbus where he
acted as Judge in the state Pythian
degree contest. Mr.. Taylor says that
the work of the five teams which par
ticipated in the finals of the contest
left little room for improvement and
points to the closeness of the grades
which were as follows.
Cleveland-90.7 per cent.
Coshocton--SS.76 per cent.
Cincinnati--88.G per cent
lronton--85.5 per cent.
Columbus-84.3 per cent.
The Cincinnati team, had it not
been for the omission of several par
agraphs from the ritual on the part
of one of the officers, would have
won first honors.
The Coshocton team represented
this district.
Among those from Mt. Vernon who
attended the contest were John and
Dwight Warman, Harley Lee, Clyde
Van Voorhis, Charles Matthews, Ed
son Breeze, Lester Drye, F.. b. Jones
and William Staunton.

Falling under the wheels of mov-

o'clock, James Fuller, a brakeman,
had his left foot badly torn and
crushed and its amputation was nee

doing a little extra work when the
accident happened. His cries called
the attention of some fellow-workers
to him and call was sent in for
the local Pennsylvania surgeon. The
injured man was taken to the Mt
Vernon hospital where 1t was thought
that the foot might be saved.
About the middle of the afternoon,
Fuller's condition became so bad that
IL was necessary to call the shop sur
geon to him. II was then that it was
found that the amputation was nee
essary.
Following the amputation, Fuller's
condition was almost as bad as 1t
was before. but later he became bet
ter and the physician who attended

Escaped Draft Was Registered

A case of a man registering for
military service and then escaping
the draft has come to light in
Morton county. Local officials are
puzzled as to what to do with the
condition.
The young man in question re-
sides in Morton county and on reg
istration day, June 5, was sone-
where in Montana He went be-
fore the proper officer on registra-
ton day and registered and al
leges to have complied with the Law
by forwarding his registration card
but to an ex-official of the county.
The local official did not receive the
card, however, and the man S name
was not contained on the Morton
county registration list. The re-
suit is that the young man has es-
capped draft since he was not Oh the
registration list.
The evasion is not deemed in
territorial but the example serves
to show that it might have been
possible for any number to have
evaded draft in the same manner.
