Marital Mating
Noe Hun Fad

New York, Nov. 20.-MartiaI ardor
has been supplanted by marital zeal
in Germany. This is evidenced by
the advertising columns OF German
newspapers received here. Matrimo-
NAL "ads'' cover whole pages and
they are inserted by people of all
ages and walks Of life.
Rich and Poor Seek Mates
A peculiar feature of these adj
vertisements is that many make ap-
peals for husbands or wives for rel
atives. Parents, brothers. sisters
and even friends OF those who seek
mates invite correspondence from
those matrimonially inclined. War
invalids, wealthy physicians, manu-
facturers and rich widows are among
those who resort to publicity. One
advertiser says he is q widower who
has property amounting to several
million marks. A physician who has
an annual income OF 100000 marks.
seeks to arrange a meeting with a
beautiful, stately woman, object
matrimony."
Looking Toward Eastern Trade
That the Germans are preparing
to embark on large commercial CAM
paigns in the east is inferred from
advertisements asking for statesmen
to find purchasers for German pro-
ducts in Poland asd Rumania.

repulsed, today were bombarding the
Russo -allied positions on the left

Have Many GunboaSs
Since late in September the Boil
sheviki have been trying stubbornly
to drive the allied forces up the
Dvina to north of it's junction with
the Vaga. The small amount of ice
in the river at this time of the year
is helping the enemy gunboats. The
Bolsheviki apparently posses a large
number Of river craft on which TO
mount naval gums brought from
Petrograd.
No Match for Allies
As long as the enemy gunboats
are able TO move the American and
British are combating great odds.
But the enemy infantry is no match
for the allies. the BOlshevik losses
IN killed, wounded and captured be-
lies.
Shooting TO Kill.
In their attack Nov. II, the Boil
sheviki advanced to the gun positions
OF the Canadian artillery. The guns
continued to fire at point blank range
and the ground before them soon was
heaped with enemy dead The allied
Infantry then counter attacked and
swept the BoIsheviki back into the
forest where patrols pursued them
throughout the night. The enemy
losses ON that day were exception

were small

direct hits on Bolshevik gllnboats in

Duty on i. S.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Continued
naval expansion by the United States
without regard at present for pos
stble decisions OF the peace confer
ence, the formation of a league of
nations or reduction Of armament,
was recommended to congress today
by Secretary Daniels at a private
conference with the house naval
committee which is framing the 1920
naval appropriation bill.
FaVors Nations'League.
The discussion with the secretary
largely concerned the league of ma
tions and disarmament, called for I'm
President Wilson's peace principles,
Mr.. Daniels insisted that construc-
ton should proceed because these
questions are subject to future set
tlement, and no one can forsee the
decision.
Secretary Daniels said he favored
league Of nations without which,
he thought a great fruit OF the war
would be lost.
But Must Have BattIeships.
The United States, he said, must
have a large number of dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers.

In league Of nations, the secre-
tary said, the United States must
provide a large part OF a police force,
this being made up with respect to
the, tonnage, shore line and COM

cause of these factors Mr. Daniels
said, he believed this country, as the
richest In the world, always would
have to contribute large part OF

Explains THE WHY

Washington, Nov. 2U-Postmaster
General Burleson issued a statement
yesterday outlining what he char
acterized as "the determining fac
tors" which led to the taking over
OF cable systems Nov. 2, under the
joint resolution Of congress author
izing government control and oper-
alton of telephone. telegraph, cable
and radio systems in this country.
Land telegraph lines already had
been taken over by the government
and Mr.. Burleson sal the necessity
for continuity and common control
between such systems and the cable
lines has been "most conclusively
shown" by the fact that both the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies have their Independent
cable systems and have contractural
relations with other cable companies
which make these lines more or less
a part Of the country's telegraph
system.

Washington, Nov. 2e.-War waged
by brewers against antagonistic busi-
ness houses and individuals was
given special attention today by the
senate committee investigating beer
propaganda and the purchase of The
Washington Times.

and Baltimore Casualty Co; Protec-
tor and Gamble and the Grasselli
Chemical company of Cleveland.
Hugh II. Fox, secreatry of the Uni
ted States Brewers association, who
began his testimony yesterday, re-
sumed the stand and was questioned
by Mai. Gen. LoWery Hufnes, who
conducted the examination for the
committee. The witness, though
denying that the association had at
tempted a boycott, identified many
letters and circulars sent to mem
bers regarding the anti-beer attitude
Of certain firms and persons.
Other activities OF, brewers also,
were inquired into yesterday by the
committe and Hugh f. Fox, secretary
of the United States Brewers asso-
citation, admitted that brewers propa-
ganda had been published in the In
ternational Monthly edited by George
Sylvester Viereck, once editor OF the
Fatherland, pro-Gernan publica-
tion. Fox said he did not know at

that he has had some suspicion Of
it since them"
Questioned further by Major e.
Lowry Humes Of the army judge Adj
vocate Generals department, and
counsel for the senate committee, Fox
said that it was the business of the
publication committee of the Brewers
association to advertise the product

employed writer's to write up cer-,
tain subjects" relating to the brewers
trade.
Writers Well Paid.

wrote matter published in the Allan
tic Monthly, and whose salary was
believed by Fox to be $1,000 a year;
DR.. Edward II. Williams, author of
articles published in medical and
other journals, and j. G. Rice.
When Secretary Fox was called to
the stand he produced on subphoena
other documents OF the Brewers as

standing practice of the organization
to destroy these.

Market Glutted
With Fat Hogs
(Rv Associated Press. !

Cincinnati, Nov. 20.-With the
hog pens Of the local stockyards,
built to accommodate 5000 hogs, now
holding $4,000 an embargo has been
placed on further receipts. The con-
gested condition is brought about, ac-
cording to stockyard men by the
price fixing methods of the govern
ment which divides hogs into two
lots, one weighing below 130 pounds
and the other above $50 pounds
Leading packers want hogs above
180, according to experts, while
fresh meat dealers will not buy those
between 13O and 150 on account OF
the high price, but want and buy
those below 130 pounds which are
cheaper. Accordingly there has been
a steady accumulation of hogs be-
tween 130 and $50 pounds with few
buyers.

Story of the Ukraine
The Ukraine became a republic
during the disorders in Russia after
the overthrow of the Kerensky gov
ernment in November. 1917. There
was much fighting there between the
Bolsheviki and their opponents re-
sulting in the defeat Of the Bolshe-
wiki The Ukraine government made
peace with Germany at Brest-Li-

agreed to German terms. Austrian
troops then entered the Ukraine for
the purpose OF carrying out the ar
ticles of the peace treaty.
End of Dictatorship
The Ukraine government was
overthrown last May and General
Skorpadski became dictator but he
had difficulty in maintaining order
there, although assisted by the Aus
tro- Germans. General Dentklne was
formerly commander of the Russian
armies on the southwest front. Pre-
vious to that he had been chief OF
staff Of the Russian armies.

Healthy Business Condition.
The increases indicate a very
healthy business condition, due in a
measure to the good prices for pro-
ducts raised in the northwest the
past year, but they also indicate
something that is of great impor-
tance to the future prosperity or the
country.
That one thing, according to Fargo
bankers, is the great increase in the
number of depositors. More people
are saving in Fargo today and have
larger bank deposits than ever be-
fore.
Credit To War Loans6
Fargo bankers are agreed that the
purchase of Liberty Loan bonds has
been the greatest factor IN lnouclng
people to save. Those who bought
bonds on the deferred payment plan,
CARRYING them through the banks,
have acquired the habit of regular
saving which will remain after war
loans are no longer necessary.
"Thes habit of saving that has come
with the war will remain for all
time" II. H. Wooledge, secretary OF
the Northwestern Mutual Savings &
