I have your very kind invitation TO

great pleasure to accept this invitation.
1t would give me an opportunity TO

airy governor
The farmers Of North Dakota have
grievance. but not against the
Democratic party as a state organi-
cation in North Dakota, nor against
its candidate for governor. The last
legislative assembly passed an ap-
preparation for the building of q
terminal elevator and Governor Fra
zier vetoed the bill 1t might be well
for the farmers of the state to ask why
it was vetoed and l understand that
reason was given that a terminal ele-
yator would be of no use without
packing houses, flour mills, etc, but
surely it would have been a start, a
beginning.
A half loaf is better than no bread.
The world was not made in day The
farmer might also ask if the reasons
given for vetoing the bill were the real
reasons or if there are others. or
course if the elevator proved solu-
ton of the farmers problem, they
would no longer need the Nonpartisan
league. The same would be true if It
proved a failure.
North Dakota is q great agricultural
state and the agricultural interests
should receive fair treatment, but
everything is now subordinated to the
winning of the war in which we are
engaged and in the election OF men
who will uphold the administration in
the prosecution of the war Then again,
to the Nonpartisan papers,
when we became involved in the war,
Governor Frazier did not support the
administration in the prosecution Of the
war. The COurier-News of Fargo, y.
D., published speeches Of Mr. Townley
and Governor Frazier in which it is re-
ported that Governor Srazler said: It

GERMAN U-bOAT BASES
ARE TO Be ABANDONED

That Germany plans to give up the
Belgian coast is shown by today's dis
patches which state that the heavy artil-
lery IS being moved back from that
coast This evidently means that the
submarine bases at Ostend and Zee
brugge are to be abandoned Evidently
the submarine warfare is about to end
and Germany will probably try to save
her few remaining submarines in the
Kiel canal. The Associated Press sums
up the situation about Zeebrugge and
Ostend as follows:
(By the Associated Press)
French, British, American and Belgian
troops continue their sipashes against
the German defenses, further increasing
the peril to the German armies from
Verdun to the North sea. The important
bastions of Lille, Cambria, St. Quentin
and Laon more and more are becoming
of less use to the Germans.
Cambria was burning today, having
been set on fire by the Germans, while
Field Marshal Haig's forces were push
ing forward into its suburbs on the
north, west and southwest Around ST.
Quentin the British were extending their
iron ring. Between St. Quentin and
Cambria the British are crossing the
Scheldt canal at several points, having
taken Vendhuile, on the canal west of
lie Catelet and midway between Cambria
and St. Quentin. Northeast of St. Quen-
tin the British have taken LIE Vergies,
east of point running north and south
through ST. Quentin.
The wedge driven in between the fort
ress of Lille and the German subna-
rine bases on the Belgian coast is being
widened rapidly. The Be1gians are en-
circling Roulers on the railway line from
Lille to the submarine bases of Ostend
and Zeebrugge.
Menin Is Threatened.
Farther south the British menace
Menin, on the same railroad, and are
along the Lys west of Menin for a dis
tance of five miles.
The forces under King Albert are on
open ground and it would seem that the
railroads forming and within the triangle
of Lille, Ghent and Bruges would soon
be lost to the Germans, bringing about
the evacuation of Ostend and Zeebrugge.

ASK THAT WHEAT
PRICE Be RAISED
EVID ENCE INTRODUCED TO
SHOW THAT $3.50 PER BUSHEE &
MUST BE PAID

WASHINGTON.-S and rep
resentatives of wheat growing states and
officials of the National Wheat Growers
association in conference here tonight,
decided to appoint a special committee
to urge upon President Wilson ilnrlee
diate action fixing the price OF wheat
for 1910 at $3.50 bushel.
The president will be told that this
price is necessary for the protection OF
most wheat growers over the country,
who under the present price of S2.20 a
bushel, plus the freight differential, will
not be able to raise wheat at profit.
Appointment of a special committee to
investigate the cost of wheat production
also will be requested, it was announced,
but in in the meantime an increased
price will be sought.
DR. William j. Spillman, chief of the
office of farm management of the de-
partment of agriculture, presented to the
conference tonight figures compiled by
his office designed to show that price
of $3.50 bushel is essential if the max
imum production is to be attained next
year
Speakers insisted that the president
has been misinformed as to the increase
in the cost of flour that would result
from $3.50 wheat. They said the added
cost on barrel of flour would be ninety
cents instead of the two dollars esti-
mated
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, author of
the $3.50 amendment to the annual agri-
cultural appropriation bill told the con-
ference that the estimated $50,000,0O0 in
crease at the $3.50 price could be and
should be absorbed by the American
government.

ton bill recently because of the Gore

posed increase would cause disruption of

United States, but in the allied countries

YOUTHS FAIL TO PASS THE
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION.

Several of the young men who en-
tered the Students Army Training
corps at the University of Idaho, fail
ed to pass the physical examination.
These are largely boys Of from 18 to
20, who are not fully developed. The
| greatest number are lacking in chest
development and it is believed that
this defect can be remedied.
Lieutenant w. C. Bleamaster, form
er athletic director of the University
who was recently given a commission
as first lieutenant in the army, after
training at the Preside, and was re-
turned to the University as an en-
ploye of the government instead of
the university, has confidence that he
can overcome may of these defect~
within the next two weeks.
Lieutenant Bleamaster began today
putting the rejected young men
through hard training to develop them
in the weaker spots. They will be
given the best exercises possible to
overcome these defects and 1T is be-
lieved that by October 15, when 300
enlisted men come here to form Glass
B" of the s. A. T. c., that these young
men, or many Of them, viii be able
to pass the rigid physical examina-
tlon required to enter the S. A. I. c.
Lieutenant Bleamaster, who is still
called "Coach" by some of his former
students, gave up $500 per year when
he became lieutenant, as the salary
of that office is $500 less than the
salary he drew as physical director
of the university. He. is doing the
same work he formerly did with mucn
additional work added by his new po-
sition.
The men who enter the S. A. T. C.
must pass the same rigid physical
examination as those who enter she
army. This is difficult for some of
the boys, buS in class of the older
youths, number 80, there were but SIX
reflections and it is believed that sew
eral of these are remedial The
young men draw the same pay as
men in service, $50 per month, and
sustenance. A man with a wife is
allowed SIS and SIS goes to the wife,
and the government adds $15 per
month to this sum, making $50 per
month for the wife and each child
is allowed SIS.
The first meal in the new mess
hall was served yesterday at noon,
when more, than 300 members of the
S. A. T. G. were seated at the long
tables. 1t was not generally known
that the meal was to be served there
and many ate at the hotels and at
the chamber of commerce rooms. The
latter body dispensed with it's reg
ular Tuesday luncheon at noon in or
der to feed the soldiers and many of
them were given dinner there. 1t is
believed that fully 500 will be quar-
,ered in the fraternity and other
houses secured for that purpose by
the university, soon and will take
heir meals in the twin mess halls
With a seating capacity of 700 men.
Today enrolment, physical exam
nation and reception work is being
carried on. Every one is busy and
here, is shortage Of help at the
as elsewhere, which neces-
states every one working over time.

A1sne west of Rheims. The French here
are marching toward the eastern end
OF the Chemin- -des-Dames and the open
country north of Rheims by which Laon
can be outflanked.
! Stiff Pressure Continues.
From the Suippe to the Meuse the
French and Americans maintain their
stiff, steady pressure against the German
Armentieres, which is virtually sur
rounded, and thence on an arc to near
La Bassee. Thence it runs south through
the western outskirts of Lens to Cav
relle, where it swings southeast to Bile
court, three miles north of Cambria.
Around Cambria the British line is less
than mile from the center of the city.
South of Cambria the St. Quentin canal
forms the line until the region southwest
Of lie Catelet is reached Between here
and St. Quentin the British have driven
in sharp salient with its apex at Lever
gies. St Quentin is surrounded north,
west and SOUTH whence the French hold
an irregular line southwark to LaFere
Running along the west edge of the
forest of St Gobain the line strikes the
Ailette at Anizy and then runs southeast
across the Chernin- des-Dames and along
the Oise-Aisne canal to the Vesle at
Jonchery. Thence to St. Marie-a-Py,
forces defending the important commu-
nication lines running east to Metz from
Loan to the St. Quentin region. West
of Argonne the French are pressing up
the valley of the Aisne toward Challe-
range and Vouiziers.
Since September 26 the French have
captured more than $4,000 prisoners and
in excess of 800 guns on this front. East
of Argonne the Americans continue to
maintain and improve their positions in
the face of strong German resistance.
The New Battle Front.
In the last 10 days the western battle
front has seen great changes as the allies
have forced their way through the Hin
denburg line. From Nieuport the allied
line today ran south to Dixmude, south
east to Roulers, south and west to near
past Rheims, the line runs east West
of Suippe there is a salient with its apex
at Monthois. Crossings the Argonne
south of Grandpre the line then runs
northeastward to the Meuse at Brieulles |
From the Meuse to the Swiss border |
there has been little change.

SEE WHATS COM|Ne
IN FRENZY OF FRIGHT THEY
DENOUNCE WAR MANAGERS
AND PRESIDENT WILSON

AMSTERDAM The German press
! today is Historically emphasizing thai
the need for cool heads never was great
er than now. The possibility never be-
fore entertained or visualized is begin
ming to dawn on the people that Germany
may lose the war, and the suddenness
of this realization has had bewildering
effect
The Zeitung Am Mittag entirely ap-
proves as wholly appropriate to the occa-
sion the sensational editorial printed in
Vorwaerts last week dealing with what
would happen should an enemy succeed
in invading the fatherland. 1t makes an
assertion remarkable for tifiS newspaper,
saying: "Our governments, throughout
this terrible war had sedulously avoided
limiting at this and the other possibility,
namely, that the war may be lost if
everybody and everything are not united
in the utmost effort.
Yelled Gravity of Position.
"Ihe government has thus itself con-
tributed to yelling the real gravity of our
position during these four years of war;"
The newspaper continued: ut has
preferred to lead the nation in blinkers
past the abyss of danger to our national
life"
The Rhenische Westphalian Gazette
shudderingly contemplates the Bulgarian
situation, "the last and highest wave"
and suspects that the Bulgarians, after
having got the Dobruja region of Ru
mania, have no further use for Ger
many.
Admits Bulgarians Justified
The Frankfort Zeitung expresses re-
gret that the government failed to i'm
press on friend and foe the truth" that
Germany did not go into the war out Of
lust for power. This newspaper freely
admits that the Bulgarians are justified
in feeling war-tired and thinks that the
people will stand with Premier
Malinoff. Finally, the Frankfort Zeitung
begs the government to make for peace
"unequivocally and sincerely"
The Dusseldorf Nachrichten bewails
the fact that troops will have to be sent
to Macedonia from the west front, where
they are so bitterly needed" Its sister
publication, the Essen Allgemeine lei
lung. speaks of "bad news coming thick
and fast" and repeats its previous asser-
lion that the Germans must be strong.
Later on in its editorial the Essen
ourna1 falls into bitter abuse of 'blas-
,hening Wilson and his mob of lynch
