Federal Council Accepts Reichstag
II Action That Caused Ludendorff
to Retire in DudgeDn.

Copenhagen, Oct. 30.-The German
Federal Council has approved the bill
amending the Imperial Constitution in
the form as adopted by the Reich
stag, according to a Berlin telegram.
The Reichstag on Saturday amended
the Constitution by placing the mill
tary authorities under control of the
civil government. The measure was
adopted by large majority. The re-
tirement of General Ludendorff has
been reported as having been due to
the passage of the measure by the
Reichstag.
Paris, Oct. 3O.-Extremely import
ant decisions were taken at the meet
ing of the Crown Council held under
the presidency of Emperor William
at Berlin, on Saturday, says dis
patch from Zurich to lie Journal.
The greatest agitation prevails in
the Reichstag, where groups OF depu-
ties, the message adds, are sitting
continuously. Considerable nervous
ness, it is said, prevails in German
military circles as result of the de-
cisions reached at the Crown Council.
The German Government, it IS de-
clared, is determined to resort to ex-
IRENE measures.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 3O.-The
German military party is putting out
a story that a Bolshevik uprising is
threatened in Germany, according to
reports reaching the State Depart
ment today from Switzerland. Ihese
reports are being circulated in Swift
zerland and Holland by German ag-
ents and newspapers. The evident IN
tent of the reports, it is believed here,
is to persuade the Allies not to make
too drastic terms with Germany IN
the neace settlements.

LIEUTENANT FROM CASSELTON
HUN BATTERY

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Nov. 5.-A battery Of
four 6-inch Howitzers with three Of
ficers and II gunners, was taken north
of Lande1ville by the French tanks
named by Americans.
The tanks thanked the battery by
going around the edge of hill in the
face of machine guns protecting the
cannon. The gunners threw up their
hands when the tanks appeared and
the men on the land battleship turned
their prisoners over to the infantry-
men.
The tank squadron was commanded
by Lieutenant Lloyd Callahan, Of Cas-
selton, N. D., who himself, operated q
machine gun on one Of the tanks.
After prisoners had been vaken the
three machines mopped up the ma-
chine gun nests in the region Of the
abttery and then went on about their
business toward the hills beyond.

POLISH ARMY RECOGNIZED
BY UNITED STATES
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT FEELS
DEEP SYMPATHY FOR POLISH
PEOPLE.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The Polish
army, under the supreme politicaal
authority of the Polish National COM
mittee, was recognized today by the
United States government as auto
nomous and co-belligerent. Secretary
Lansing so announced in letter sent
today to Roman Dmowski, president
of the Polish national committee, who
is now in Washington.
Secretary Lansing said the !Ameri-
can government feels deep sympathy
for the Polish people and views with
qualification the progress Of the Polish
cause. He also said it had not been
unmindful of the zeal and tenacity
with which the Polish national COM
mittee, which has headquarters at
Paris, has prosecuted the task Of mar
shalling its fellow countrymen in a
supreme military effort to free Poland
from it's present oppressors.
The action of the American govern
is similar to that taken recently by
France, Great Britain and Italy.

committe spent all of it's time in ar
ranging allotments for the city and it
lis to be hoped that these will meet
with the entire approval of every one.
No one is being asked to do very
:''uch for the boys and in years to
one it is very likely we all will wish
,'"e had done more in winning this
~ eat war!
1t is the morale of the American
boys, which morale is built up by the
organizations contained in the United
War Work Campaign, that is winning
this war. The wonderful morale of
the American boys enthused the Allies
to such an extent that they have been
made into new men and new soldiers
and we over here are responsible for
the morale Of those boys. It is up to
us to keep it up until the boys come
home.
No matter how soon this war is
over the boys will not be able to get
back for year or two SO we must kill
all propaganda gotten up for the pur-
pose of making people believe that all
Of this money will not be necessary
because the boys will be home so soon
If peace is declared now.
With the wonderful crop which Ram
sey county harvested this year and
with the big salaries that nearly every
one is receiving now Ramsey County
should not subscribe $4,000 but twice
as much and would not feel it at all.
If the full amount desired is obtained
it will mean only about a dollar a
week. for a year for our boys who are
giving up their lives that we may win
this war.

AS we go to press returns from over
the state are scattering and few.
With the addition of the ballot on the
amendments, the Judicial ballot anu
the school ballots. to the regular bal
lots, the clerks have quite job to
complete the count before an official
report can be given out.
It would seem, from the scattering
reports now available that Frazier for
Governor and Baer for Congress are
running with approximately the same
strength that they showed at the
primaries in June. Miss Nelson for
Supt. of Public Instruction has COM
Portable margin over her opponent,
MacD Donald, endorsed by the Nonparti-
san league. It is also reasonably safe
to assume from the vote now at hand
that the ten amendments will be beat
en-, especially the first seven, the last
three perhaps, may carry, as they re-
ceived more or less support.
At this hour q precincts in this
county have officially reported their
vote. The county ticket had no fight
on with the exception of Sheriff. For
this office Elliott has received $40,

undoubtedly apply in those precincts
yet unheard from.

On the proposition of whether the
county should retain the county agent
955 votes are counted for the affirma-
tive and 352 on the negative. This
would indicate that the proposition
will carry.
The vote on the legislative candi-
dates is running about the same as
it did at the primaries and is as fol-
lows:

Washington, Nov. 4.-Terms upon
which Germany may obtain an armis-
tice and end the war were completed
and signed in Paris today. Secretary
Lansing announced the fact tonight
in brief statement, adding only that
complete diplomatic harmony had
been achieved by the Allied and Am
ericanforces at Versailles.
1t may be stated authoritively that
the terms, not yet given out for publ
cation, follow closely those under
which Austria,Hungary surrendered
today and passed out of the war, leav-
ing Germany to stand alone against
the world.
The presumption in official circles
here tonight was that the stipulations
would be in the hands of the German
government in less han "a hours. If
they are accepted, reply settling the
issue of peace or further fighting may
also be received within that time. The
uncertainty caused President Wilson
to cancel tonight his proposed trip to
New Jersey tomorrow to cast his vote
in the Congressional election.
Although the complete text Of the
historic Versailles document probably
is only now on the cables for Wash
ington, it's substance has been report
ed upon fully and approved by the
president before the final draft was
prepared
Secretary Lansing made this state
ment:
According to an official report re-
ceived this evening the terms of the
Ia,mistice to be offered to Germany
have just been agreed to unanimously
and signed by representatives Of the
Allies and the United States in Paris.
The report further states that diplo-
matte unity has been completely
achieved under conditions of utmost
harmony"
! Subjected to analysis by military
officers here, both Allied and Ameri-
lean, the terms of the Austrian armis-
ltice, which are. said to be no more
|drastic than those for Germany, are
interpreted to mean absolute surren-
|der. Nothing is left to the good faitl,
of the vanquished and no restrictions
or limitations are imposed upon the
|victors. These officers believe Ger

MAY
Be BORN SOON
DEMAND OF LETTISH PEOPLE
MAY BRING ANOTHER GREAT
NATION TO LIGHT.

Petrograd, Nov. 5.-Birth of new
nation of 100000 people, or popu-
lation greater than that of Norway,
to be called Lettland, will be one of the
results of the world war if the de-
lnands of the Let's of Livonia and
Courland are granted.
| The people living in the former Rus
sian porvinces are chatting under Ger
man domination forced upon them By
Prussian rifles and will plead for the
right of self-determination before the
peace congrss that ends the war.
Let's predominate in Llvonia ana
Courland and have a distinct language
and civilization wholly unlike those Of
the Esthonians.
The Lettish language Is closely re-
lated to the ancient Aryan and is re-
garded as one of the oldest of Eu-
ropean tongues. II is rich in folklore
and popular legends. Lettish theatres
are maintained at Riga, Eibau ard
several Of the other larger cities. The
Let's boast many novelists, play
wrights, artists and musicians and
hold aloof from the Germans.
In all the world the Let's number
about 100000. The territory in
which Let's predominant, and which
! they insist should be set aside for
them to govern, embarces Courland,
Livonia and several districts in the
western part of the Russian govern
ment of Vitebsk, including the district
of Dvinsk, Luzine and Rechitze. The
total population of this proposed gov
eminent to be called Lettland is e.
100000 or about 100000 less than that
of Denmark. The area of the pro-
posed Lettland is 63,325 kilometres.
which is one-fifth the size of Italy or
Great Britain and so per cent larger
than either Switzerland or Denmark.
The Let's comprise 6S per cent Of
the poplation of the territory they
wan to govern. The Russians make
up IL per cent of the population and
the Germans Z percent The remaining
population is chiefly Jewish and Pol
ish. Seventy-seven per cent Of tho
Let's are Lutherans. Eighteen per
/ cent are Roman Catholics and the re-
mainder Greek Catholics. Sixty-six
per cent Of the Let's residing in the
proposed Lettland can read and write.
Riga, Libau, and Windau, the three
Baltic seaports embraced in the Lett
land territory, formerly handled al
most one-half of Russia's total i'm
port and export trade, and are Of
prime commercial importance.
It is the desire of the Let's to have
their independence under the interna-
tional guarantee Of neutrality. A ma
tional council has been organized to
resist all movements to make \ Ger
man principality out of Courland and
Livonia. This council is urging that
Russia's inability to defend the Baltic
coast makes it imperative that it
should be protected by International
action and kept clean as pathway
from the West to the East.

NOVEMBER 9 IS LAST
- DAY LIBERTY BONDS
CAN BE EXCHANGED

Washington, Nov. 5.-Owners Of 1st
Liberty Bonds and End Liberty Bonds
bearing four per cent who wish to ex-
change them for bonds bearing AZ
per cent must do so before next Sat-
urday, November 9, when the CONVEX
sion privilege by law expires. This
can be done without cost at any bank,
and the only effect is to give the bond
holder an extra quarter of percent
interest, which amounts to Is cents q
year on each 500 bond. Third Loan
bonds cannot be converted because
they already bear AZ per cent.
