CANNOT SELL
WHEAT PRODUCTS
| ON WEDNESDAY
The Regulations Regarding
Whcatless and Meatless
Days Explained by Ladd

The regulations covering wheatless
and meatless days are not only
stringent, but also considerably
sweeping in their scope. This appears
from a letter which Food A%dmipistra-
tor L. T.. Laid OF Fargo has written
to a local merchant concerning GER
tain details of the arrangement.
The administrator says that the
regulations include the non-sale of
red meats of all kinds on Tuesdays.
This also includes canned products as
we'll as fresh.
o Wednesday," the administrator
says in his communication, mo wheat
products are to he sold by dealers.
This would include cookies, crakers
and cakes made by the large factories
as we'll as by the baker himself"
DR.. I.add points out that the spirit
of the law cannot be complied with
unless each enforces it in a true
democratic manner. and If this is not
done, more drastic regulations will be
forthcoming within a short time.
The purchase Of products on Tues
day for use on Wednesdays cannot be
prevented. DR.. Ladd says, my more
than the baking of bread in the homes
can be prevented. But h party who
will resort to that kind Of subterfuges
is, in DR.. I.add's opinion. just as
t%raitorous to his %country's cause as is
the soldier who deserts from the fir
ing line.

GRAND FORKS
MEN TO COME
BEFORE JURY
Case Against Williams,
Coulter and Bridgeman
Comes Up.

The Polk county grand jury intends
to take action this week in the case
of the state of Minnesota against
Paul Williams, Eugene Coulter and
Clifford Bridgeman of this city, who
are charged with having committed
the crime Of rape against Adelaide
Chapman of Larimore.
The alleged crime is said to have
taken place somewhere between
Fisher and Crookston, Mimi, on the
night between June 8 and June 9.
1917. when the defendants were men,
bers of a party which had gone from
Grand Forks to. Crookston for the os-
tensible purpose of attending a dance
to which Miss Chapman was invited
by her companions.
Preliminary hearings were held in
Crookston last summer, and two
months ago the defendants, together
with Roy Spriggs and William Hogg,
were tried in the United States dis
trict court on a charge Of conspiracy
to violate the Mann white slave act
which prohibits the transportation of
any woman from one state into an
other for immoral purposes.
At the end of that trial, the three
young men whose cases are to come
up in Crookston some time this week.
were acquitted Of the governments,
charge against them. but Spriggs and
Hogg were found guilty and were gen.
fenced. by Judge c. F. Amidon to
spend, respectively. six and nine
months in the Grand Forks county
Jail. and also to pay a fine of $500
each.
Paul Williams is in Jail at Crooks.
ton, awaiting trial: Clifford Bridge
man and Eugene Coulter are out on
bail.
Whether or not the action Of the
federal district court will have any
direct bearing upon the case which
will be heard in Crookston, is not
known, but it was recalled. today that
in passing sentence upon Spriggs and
Hogg Judge AHlidon exhibited the
view that Miss Chapman might be
%subnormal; the Judge also supported
the theory Of the federal jury that
there was some doubt as to whether
or not Miss>C Chapman. the. complain
ing witness in the case. had consented
to the acts which. it was alleged, had
taken place.

TELEPHONE
!. s SITUATION
! DISCUSSED
Meeting held this Afternoon
with Tri-State Represent
atives of Twin Cities.

This afternoon at 2 o'clock the tele-
phone committee of the city council
met with representatives of the Tri-
State Telephone company for the pur-
pose of discussing the subject Of pos
sible physical connection between the
local exchange of that company and
that Of the Northwestern Telephone
company.
The Tri-State representatives who
arrived here this morning to attend
the conference, are
G. B. Ransdall. ST. Paul, secretary
Of n counsel for the company; r.
F. Wilder, Minneapolis. district COM
mercial superintendent: o.. 4. knell,
Minneapolis, plant superintendent
District superintendent G. w. ReeS
pany. also attended the conference.
The meeting this afternoon follows
one which was held last week with
high officials of the Northwestern
company. The attitude of the latter
company was to be outlined to the
Tri-State representatives today, and it
was indicated that definite results ma.
be announced shortly as a result OF
the two conferences.
Whether or not Il report will be
presented to the city council at its
regular meeting this evening, is not
known, but as the committee has
powers to do whatever is necessary in
the matter, it is not thought necessary
that it will act for further instructions
although it may be that a report viii
be given so as to inform the council
of the progress made.
If the telephone companies and the
committee agree on the installation o.
physical connection between the two
exchanges. it is sale hat the altera'
lions which are necessary. can be
y made within a very short time, prob
ably within a day or two.

u. S. TO BACK
/. DAIRY TRADE
Farmers Throughout Coun.
try Asked to Increase
Their Herds.
(Hy Harry u. E5nnt)

Washington, Jar. .j.-Protection
and stimulation Of the dairy business
SO as to maintain u production OF
milk and butter fat in the face of in
creased feed and labor costs and
regulation of prices so as to, make
these necessary %foodstuffs available
to all. are two contrasting problems
the federal food administration is try
ing to solve through the establish
ment of federal milk tribunals in all
large cities.
No other angle of food control is
so directly a matter of life and death
for thousands.
Inadequate milk, or high priced
milk, means instant increase in the
mortality rate. particularly among in
fants and children.
The federal milk commissions for
each metropolitan area will invests
gate the costs Of producing and mar
keting milk. and will attempt to liz
prices which, stimulating supply by
providing a fair margin Of profit for
the dairyman, will place the milk in
the hands of the consumers at a price
within reach of all.
AS in the regulation of prices of
other foodstuffs. the effort will be
creases due to excessive profits uo
middlemen. and to decrease the num-
Der of hands through which the milk
passes (each of which claims a prof
it, on the way from producer to
consumer. These commissions will
ave full power to fix the prices to DC
paid at each step in the chain from
the farm to the home.
Regulations may have to be drawn
restricting wasteful and unnecessary
uses OF milk and butter fat. in order
tina. supplies may be stretched ou'
sufficiently to meet our own need!
and those of our own allies armies
Great Britain. for instance, has jus
been forced to prohibit use of cream
except for infants and invalids, ant
for butter making.
The cost Of milk in most cities IL
this country l.; as high as in England
where dairy herds have decreased
and much fodder for cattle has tt
be imported.
The food administration hopes tn.
farmers Of America will recognize thu
safe and profitable future ahead 70;
dairying. and will increase :theil
herds.
| Patriotism also demands tina
America bring her production of mill
to the highest possible notch. (

Official comment continued to be with
held awaiting an indication of the presi-
dents views.
Observers here were convinced that the
enemy is beaten into submission and
that efforts at bargaining now are mere
ly prelude to complete surrender in the
near future, if the allies hold firm to the
determination to accept nothing less.
They are guided by confidential diplo-
matte advices purporting to show that
there has been real political revolution
. in Germany and that the people in power
are ready to throw out the kaiser and all
his war lords to get peace
1t was learned to-day that private
dispatch from Germany has been pub
lshed in a Copenhagen newspaper, stat
ing that the troops on leave are receiv-
ing secret orders not to return to the
front and that to this extent demobili-
cation has begun
Military men here, however, regard it
as ineonceivable that orders would be
given while desperate efforts are being
made to hold the American and allied
troops at bay at certain points on the
western front.

BADLY CAWOUFLAGED
IVSINCERITY" REPLY
That Is the Way One High British Off
cial Characterized the German State
ment to President Wilson.

London, Oct. o. The German reply to
President Wilson is regarded here as mot
business, but mere argument and pro-
testation." In government diplomatic
and political circles the view is that it is
not reply, but simply resort to YER
biage One highly placed official de-
scribed it as badly camouAaged insin
eerity"
Henry NJ Hyndman, leader of the
British Socialists, said:
"Phis reply is simply another piece of
shutting. ! hope President Wilson will
answer it very abruptly and briefly. If
he were to accept this reply as basis
for negotiation, in my opinion, he would
simply be sacrificing the dignity of the
position he has worthily gained"
Frederick George Kelloway parliamen
tary secretary to the minister of muni-
tions, said: "0nly ohr leaders, Premier
Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau and

and General Pershing, on the military
side, can say if the note means that Ger
many is at last prepared to face the facts
and draw the inevitable conclusion The
way to make an early peace is to be
ready for a long war"
Newspapers almost without exception
view the reply with impatience and dis
trust. Germany Still Impertinent," is
the caption on the editorial of The
Chronicle, which dismisses the reply as
obviously unacceptable. The Graphic is
more optimistic and says Verbally, the
Germans are getting slightly nearer the
point of view upon which the allies mean

SHARP REPRESSION
or POLISH PROPAGANDA
A Violent Scene in Municipal Council
at Posen Throws Some Light
on the Situation.

Berne, Switzerland Oct. 22.--(H (Hayas)
The German authorities have under CON
sideration vigorous measures for the
suppression of Polish propaganda in the
Polish provinces of Prussia. Some light
is thrown on the state of affairs there
by a violent scene in the municipal coun-
ell of Posen. The demand was made by
Councillor Lewandowsky that Pole be
appointed to a municipal office. The
councillor made a speech in which he ex-
pressed complete sympathy for his
"countrymen" of Warsaw,
Long live Poland the councillor ex.
claimed POLAND is not yet lost"
The speaker was reprimanded in the
shaTpest language by the president of
the council
