MARMARTHFIRE;,.
. BUG. MAY BE. IN
HANDS: OF. LAW
Marshal H. L. Reade Hopes Ar
rest of Incendiary Solves
Mystery ]
LEAVE FOR INVESTIGATION

State Fire Marshal H. H. Reade,
who left last night for Marmarth to in
vestigate last weeks disastrous fire,
hopes that in the suspect Marmarth Of
ficials now are holding they have the
inveterate fire bug who in the last
few years has on several occasions
been responsible for the almost COM
plete destruction of the business sec
ton of. this village. ~
There is no question:" said Fire
Marshal Reade in discussing the ma Il
ter yesterday. that this work has
been done by an incendiary, and we
have always believed that the same
man was responsible for all of the
fires. Fe has, however, very carefully
covered his tracks heretofore. Now
the chief OF police and the chief Of the
fire department there advise ME that
the man they are holding is known to
have made threats against the Mar
marth Mercantile Co., last weeks vic
tim of the fire bug, and they believe
that with his arrest serious menace
to Marmarth has been removed"
The biggest blaze in North Dakota
last year was one which DESTROYED the
greater part of Marmarth at cost Of
more than 100000. and this was one
of long series of conflagratiOns
which had repeatedly Threatened to
wipe this town Off the MAP. IN every
case the work has plainly been that OF
an incendiary. but always the fire bug
had escaped detection until last week.

Who are the Bulgarians and what
is their history?
The Balkans peninsula is divided
racially into five groups; Slavs, Al
banians, Greeks, Turks and Ruman-
ians.
The Slavs in the Balkans constitute
the southern branch Of the Slav0nlc
race. and are themselves divided into
Jugo-Slavs (SertCroats and Slovenes)
and Bulgarians, who are not pure
Slav.
TheBulgars are first mentioned in
history as having lived in the steppes
TO the north of the Black Sea in 42S
A. d.
In the sixth and seventh centuries
they expanded from eastern Russia
and settled along the Danube.
Gradually the Bulgars became fused
with the Slavs and so completely
were they submerged that beyond
few per sonal names no traces or the
LANGUAGE of the Bulgars have survived.
From the ninth century to the four
teenth. except for periods when it was
under Greek rule, Bulgaria maintained
it's independence as an empire. In IL
the Turks conquered the country, and
Bulgaria was the last of the Balkan
states to emancipate itself from the
power of Constantinople.
In 1870 began the series of insur-
rections, some of them having re-
ligious basis, which finally led to the
independence Of Bulgaria. In 1878 a
principality of Bulgaria was created,
comprising the northern portion OF
the present nation. with Prince Alex
ander, of Battenberg as ruler. In 1850
the inhabitants Of Rumelia. or south
ern Bulgaria, proclaimed their union
with Bulgaria.
The present ruler, who was Prince
Ferdinand of SaXe-Co0erg, was elect

RAIDS ON RHINE
SCARE THE HUNS
Germans Admit They Have
Intended Effect

London. Oct. 1-Fresh word comes
to the government almost daily from
indisputabIe channels Of the increas-
ing effect OF allied air raids upon the
German people.
The Cologne Gazette frankly ac-
knowledges that these raids are hay
ing the effect on morale which the
entente allies intended
1t speaks of how the pessimism Of
the bombed districts is spreading to
other parts Of the empire through let
tiers written from the Rhine towns.
And the air offensive is not only di-
rectly, but indirectly, having its effect
on the militar perations--through
the German efforts to increase their
air power ard the consequent drain
on other obraE ches,sg g. -
British air power is constantly in
creasing and the air ministry is TAX
ing every possible step to see that the
fliers and workers efforts for the
country does not set them back"
when they return to civil life. AL
most every mechanical trade is taught
in the training schools. and eXcep-
tional educational advantages are Of
fered.
The British losses are comparative
ly light, the air chiefs state. They
announce that one machine is lost or
damaged for every five tons of combs
dropped, or one machine for every six
raids.

Z. TO BE ARGUED
Meeting of Importance to Grain
Growers Of Northwest at
Gate City

Fargo. y. D., October broad
phases Of the grain marketing problem
in the northwest. are to be considered
here tomorrow at conference or
grain dealers, farmers. elevator oper-
ators, capitalists. millers and food ad,
ministration representatives
One of the leading matters to be
considered is the suggestion that the
government give priority to grain
shipments. 1t is understood that the
government will ask for vital reasons
why such sharp action shsould be Ia
ken.
1t already has been suggested that
the government take over the grain
now stored in elevators and pay the
carrying charges. Sponsors Of this
plan, one of whom is j. NJ. Anderson
of St Paul. declares that such action
would put the movement of the grain
wholly in the governments hands;
that the farmers would get their mon
ey Immediately and be able to pay
their notes. Many farmers are paying
egh per cent interest on short time
loans, it was said.
According to Information coming
from the Twin Cities the government
representatives who have been study
ing the situation are not inclined to
recommend government purchase or
the grain. 1t is believed that one OF
the prime reasons for the conference
tomorrow, is to work out some other
salts factory solution.
Many elevators i North Dakota are
still packed with grain with no I'M

for the economic and material develop

Taking advantage Of the Young
Turks revolution in 1908, Ferdinand
proclaimed the complete independence
Of bulgaria and eastern Rumelia un-
der him as king or car.
Immediately Ferdinand cast about
him for other worlds to conquer, and
found Greece and Serbia sympathetic
toward the organization Of Balkan
league for a joint campaign to wrest
Turks. This league was organized in
1911 by Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and
Montenegro. and it wasn't long before
their armies were at the doors of Con-
stantinople and the sultan was crying
for peace, which was signed at Lon
don, May 80. 1913.
Serbia and Bulgaria had agreed to
divide Macedonia between them, but
the peace conference created an indie
epndent Albania, which altered mat
tiers and shut out Serbia from the sea.
The division Of the spoils was left to
the car of Russia, for arbitration, but
while he was considering it Bulgaria.
without warning, attacked Serbia, and
the second Balkan war Of 1913 was on.
Greece and Rumania joined with Ser
bia in war against their former ally.
Austria is credited with having de-
liberately forced the second war to
keep the Balkans in state of turmoil
and further her own ends. But the
Bulgarians were decisively beaten,
and peace treaty was signed Aug. 10,
1913. IS
For time it was thought the Bal
war cloud had been permanently
dispelled but Austria's attack on Ser
bia in 1914, which e brought on the
world war, is now a matter of his
