Italy and Belgium had been raised.

and his face is powder marked. He can
use his rert forearm only, but states
that the doctor says in time he will re-
cover full use of the arm.
Ernest says that he got at least two
Germans, one with his revolver and
another in the Cantigny fight.
Speaking of the Prussian Guards
who were exterminated in the Cantig-
ny fight, he said, 81 tell you the Prus-
SLAMS are fighting FOOLS" They used
machine guns until the Americans
were right up on them, then they'd
throw up their hands and yell "Kame-
rad" The Americans would invari-
ably feel of the captured machine
guns and if they were hot, the German
gunners would be killed forthwith. If
the guns were not hot, the gunners
were spared.
Ernest says that for 70 days his
company was not back Of the line OF
artillery. He tells how he and five
others brot in 80 prisoners who had
been hiding in dugout.

TURKEY SURRENDERS
MOON DITION ALL
Another TeutOnic Ally is Out of the
Running and Austria Appears to be
Close on Her Heels.

Reports were received today that
Turkey had surrendered uncondition-
ally to the Allies and official notice
has been given that an armistice has
been given to her army. Turkey has
been in desperate circumstances ever
since the collapse of Bulgaria.
Austria will be the next one of
Germanys Allies to give in. Austria
is willing to agree to any terms to
get peace and it is likely that she will
follow in Turkeys footsteps within a
day or two. This would release ill
lion soldiers of the Allies to be sent
against the Hun army in the east. The
Allies will undoubtedly reserve the
right to attack Germany thru Austria.
The Italian drive has probably net
ted 10000 Austrian soldiers and it is
believed that fifteen Austrian. divis-
ions have been cut off from retreat.
The official dispatches say that a
crisis is near and that the enemy
losses are appalling.
According to a London dispatch, the
Austrian commander on the Italian
front has asked for an armistice.

Address,:
II Per Get of Last Registry Will En-
ter Class |.

The state board estimates that IT
least II per cent of the S6187 men who
registered in North Dakota on Sept.
II, will enter Class I, providing they
can pass the physical examination.
That 14,65l out of the states total
of S6,187 September II registrants
are eligible for Class is Cue princi-
pally to the fact that the percentage
of registrants of 10 and 20 was rela-
lively high. A large proportion of
all the registrants of these ages are
single men, VINO claim no exemptions
on dependency grounds, and who, for
the most part, have no agricultural or
industrial claims.

ALLIED WAR COUNCIL
COMPLETES WORK
Germany Will be Informed of Terms
by Which an Armistice Can be
Made POssible-Virtually Means
Surrender.

The Allied war council mas complet-
ed its deliberations at Versailles. Ger
many will know in a short time what
she must do in order to gain an armis-
tice at the hands of the Allies. While
nothing official is given out, it is re-
ported that Germany must move her
armies back into her own country,
evacuating Belgium, France, Serbia,
Montenegro. Rumania, and Russia.
She must give up her munitions and
bic guns, and possibly the side-arms
of her soldiers. Her troops must go
back even beyond the Rhine, leaving
the Allies in possession Of a strip of
territorv between them and the river.
The Allies ore to be %iven possession
of the Fo~trcsses OF Metz and other

All Allied prisoners must be given ur,

havc to Day great indemnity for the
crimes her army have committed
rin~Iond will probably insist on her
giving up her fleet, including the sub
rrarinoz. IF Germany complies with
these terms, she will virtually have
surrendered. She viii probably not
agree to this at once and the war is
apt TO last Il little longer.

$23,5OO FROM WARD COUNTY
FOR UNITED WAR WORK
Campaign Will Start Nov. IL to
Raise Funds for Various War Re-
lief OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Must
Raise $25O,00O,O0O.

There was a meeting Of the county
directors of the United War Work
campaign at the Association of Com
merce rooms this afternoon. A. b.
Dale of Fargo, associate state direc-
tor, was present and addressed the
Workers with reference to the in
crease in the original budget decided
upon by the national committee last
July. At that time the estimate was
based upon the number OF soldiers
overseas in April which was approx.
mately 100000 men. A revision OF
those estimates was made necessary
by the fact that our eXpedltlonary
forces, together with the men now IN
the various national environments num-
Der around 100000 men. 1t was
found necessary to increase the am
cunt to be raised from $40, 100000
to $25O,OOO,00O. Mr.. Dale said that
immediate peace would in no wise at
feet this estimate as the government
authorities state that in the event OF
peace being declared it will require
at least 10 months before the soldiers
could be mustered from service and
returned home. He also said that
while the soldiers were still at the
cantonments awaiting their discharge
there would be all the greater need
for the assistance these various war
charities will render. Ward county's
Quota for the drive which starts NO
vember II calls for $23,50O: County
Chairman J. J. Coyle is confident that
in spite of poor crops Ward county
will go over the top in such slghal
manner as to again manifest to the
state at large that we are on OF the
most open-hearted and patriotic peo-
ME in the west when it comes to mat
ters affecting the welfare of our SOL
Ter bows. The coming United War
Work campaign opens the greatest
movement for organized charity that
the world has ever seen.

Henry ANDERSON
DIED IN CAUN'S arms
Ernest Week Returns to Ward County
From Battle Front Where He Was
Injured and Tells of Death of
MinOt Soldier.

Ernest Week, former member of Co.
A from Minot, returned to this city
yesterday and left for the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Week, in
forming township.
Ernest is out of the war, having re-
seived shrapnel wounds on the left
arm, left shoulder and scalp, but he
has done his bit, as he put at least
two Huns out of business and nearly
gave UP his own life.
The brave young soldier brings
back the first direct information con-
corning the death of his chum, Henry
Anderson, the 26-year-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Anderson of this city,
who was killed while fighting in the
Cantigny battle on July 10, the time
that the brave Americans went into
the battle and vanquished the Kaiser's
crack division Of Prussian Guards.
Henry was in the same company with
Ernest and the soldiers had gone over
the top and for three days they had
kept on attacking the Huns, who were
being driven steadily back. Three
machine gun nests were encountered
and it was while advancing against
these that Henry Anderson was struck
by a machine gun bullet thru the
heart, falling MORALLY wounded. Err
nest was not supposed to stop, but he
did stop for minute, running over to
where his chum fell. Henry recognize
ed him and said, 81 knew it, Week, I
knew it," then died in Ernest's arms.
Ernest tore open Henry's clothing,
hoping to bandage him, but found that
the bullet had gone thru the heart,
coming out thru the right hip. He
then took a silk handkerchief from
Henry's pocket and covered his face,
then placed his helmet over his face
and left.
Ernest has informed the parents Of
the young man how Henry met death.
Mr.. Anderson had been trying to learn
something of his boy from the war de-
partment but it appears that the only
record Washington has is that Henry
is listed among the missing.
The next day Ernest himself fell in
battle and was nearly killed. They
had advanced seventeen kilos the next
day. and five of the soldiers were go
ing ahead to rout out machine gun
nests, when big shell struck immed-
lately in front Of Ernest. The two
soldiers on either side of him were
blown to pieces, one Of them being
Clarence Mccormick, Of Donnybrook,
whose death was reported some weeks
ago, Ernest remembers Of being
thrown into the air by the explosion
but was not conscious when he came
down. When he regained his senses
he saw the bodies of his four com
panions lying near. He lay. there
wounded for. fourteen hours, before ne
was carried off and became so weak
from the loss of blood that he could
not even brush the flies off his face
One piece of shrapnel had gone clear
thru his upper left arm, making a
wound as large as a dollar where ii
entered, and tearing away the bone
making great jagged wound where
It came out. A severe scalp wound
was also made, his left shoulder TORI
