BATTALION HURRIES TO CITY By
TRAIN AT REQUEST OF GER
MAN AUTHORITIES.

American Army of Occupation, Dec.
!S.-A battalion of the Thirty-ninth in
fantry left Treves by train today for
Coblenz, a four hours run.
The premature occupation of Cob
lenz is due to the request of the Ger
man authorities, who are apprehensive
Of the conditions that might prevail
there after the withdrawal Of the Ger
man forces. This is the first time the
Americans have utilized railway
train for their advance into the terri
!; tory from which the Germans have
withdrawn.
The main army continues it's ad-
vance in the usual manner and last
night had reached the general line of
Geldsdorfau, Mayne, Kloeng and Sch
warden. All reports continue to indi-
cate that the Germans are withdraw
ing in an orderly manner and that the
inhabitants of the villages occupied by
the Americans were refraining from
any antagonistic acts.
It was not expected that there would
be any trouble at Coblenz and the ap-
peal by the bourgmaster to send
troops was denied until it was supple
mented in writing by the retiring mil
itary commanders.

AUSTRIA VERY MEEK .
DELEGATES TO, PEACE FARLEY
SAYS PEOPLE HAVE NO AM.
BITION OTHER THAN TO LIVE.

Vienna, Dec. 1O.-Dr. Franz Klien,
former minister Of justice, will repre-
sent Austria at the peace conference,
said the correspondent today:>
If we are permitted to attend the
conference, I presume it will be mere
ly to receive its mandates, though we
trust we will be heard. However, so
far we have no information as to when
we shall attend or the conditions at
tached to our attendance.
. ut is to be hoped that the confer
ence will arrive at a solution satisfac.
tory to all the new republics of the
empire, SO that we may be able to live
peacefully in the future. We feel that
the Americans surely will be fair.
ut would be advisable for the AL.
lies to send here groups of statesmen
and business men to look into condi-
tions before trying to settle matters
Outsiders might find solution of the
difficulties which we ourselves have
been unable to find,
"You may say that the Austrian re.
public certainly wants no more wars
and has no ambition other than to
live"

STEER MEAT BRINGS
$3.50 PER POUND
RIGHT HERE IN U. S.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-What was said to
be the highest proce ever paid for a
beef animal was paid today when Fy-
fie Knight, the grand champion year
ling steer of the international Live
stock Exchange, sold for $3.50, or
$3.50 pound.
The steer, which was raised at the
University of Illinois. was purchased
by Wilson & Co., and some of the beef
has been offered by the purchaser to
President Poincare Of France to be
served President Wilson and the peace
delegates at the conference in Paris.
Shipping space already has been en-.
gaded, and it is expected the beef will
be in Paris by Christmas.

year ago when Merry Monarch sold
for $2.10 pound. Fife Knight is Of
the Angus type and was born Feb. 20

|uSE FOR LINCOLN
FOR AIR STATION
MILITARY EXPERTS SAY SITE IS
FINE FOR MAIL ROUTE TO
COAST. -.

Bismarck, Dec. S.-The use of Fort
Lincoln as an aerial station on the
"Chanute-Bell" aerial post route from
Boston to Seattle via Chicago, the
Twin Cities and Spokane, is being urg-
ed by military men who are conver-
SAINT with the post. Fort Lincoln was
designated as four-company post and
lit is not regarded probable that it
will be reoccupied for this purpose. It
would, however, say military men,
make an ideal aviation landing, test
ing and training ground. The fort sits
in the midst of several miles of per-
fectly level prairie, without a tree,
building or other obstruction within
a wide radius. The buildings are new
and in excellent condition, and could
be rcmodeled for any use which the
aerial post route might require Of
them. 1t is understood that the plan
contemplates the creation of "divi-
sion points" at intervals of 500 miles,
and that Chicago and the Twin Cities
would be two of these points. Such
an arrangement would make Bismarck
logically the next stop. rr

GERMAN IS DENIED
RIGHT TO CHANGE NAME

New York, Dec. 9.-Supreme court
Justice Russell Benedict in Brooklyn
refused the petition of DR.: .1sadore
Charles Weinzweig, of Brooklyn to
change his name to Irving Warner.
The physician recited in his petition
that his German name was detri-
ment and embarrassment to his bust
ness.
"It is true" said Justice Benedict,
"that persons may adopt such names
as may suit their fancy. But when
they apply for leave to change their
names under the sanction Of the court
II, for one, will not grant such leave,
where he effect of doing So is to enable
persons of Germanic extraction to con-
ceal>their origin and practice decep-
ton on persons who deal with them in
ignorance of such origin.
Neither will I permit the adoption
of the names of American families for
foreigners"

TOO many MEN
ON THE COAST

For he first time since the COM
of the big shipbuildlng ac-
tivities there are now more workers
than jobs on the Pacific coast, accord
ing to advices from the federal direc-
tor at Seattle, received yesterday by
the North Dakota Offices of the United
States employment service.
The federal director states that no
more carpenters are needed in the vi
cinity of Seattle and that large num-
Der Of. girls and women who came to
the coast to work are unable to obtain
employment.
Lindley H. Patten, state director Of
the employment service for North Da-
kota, advises that no more go to the
coast looking for work without first
investigating conditions through the
employment service.
"Men in this state stand a better
show of getting employment right
here at home," Mr.. Patten said. eve
can place many men in good-paying
farm positions for the winter; also in
the mines and on the railroads. We
have many calls for men for work in
the lumber woods in Minnesota"
Mr.. Patten anticipates no shortage
of labor in this state for agricultural
pursuits next season.

NONPARTIsANM Z PRESIDENT TO
|sS LET MEMBERS DECIDE WHO
/ SHALL HEAD LEAGUE.

IA. C.s Townley, president Of the Non
partisan League, put away the crown
yesterday, but only temporarily, it is
believed. He refused an election as a
member of the executive committee
and president Of the Nonpartisan
league at the hands of the national
convention composed of the state COM
mitteemen and organizers in charge
of the work in the several states.
He declared that the selection of a
president must be submitted to vote
of the league members, along with the
new or amended articles of associa,
tion.
This is President Townley's answe,
to the demand, within the league as
we'll as without, that the league be
re-organized along democratic lines.
The delegates did not bother any
further with the little matter Of per.
manent organization, but divided int
groups and proceeded at once and will
avidity to the examination of the ar
ticles Of association.
| Either these revised articles 'or :
new constitution, as the delegates ma.
determine, will be submitted to a re
ferendum vote Of the members of tn.
league in the several states,
That Townley will be elected presi
dent is not doubted by those who at
tended the convention, but it will b.
done by the members of the leagu,
and not by the delegates merely.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.

RIVER
MAN DIES

Frank Lord, a we'll known young
man of Park River, passed away on
Thursday last from pneumonia, cone
tracted from influenza. Mr.. Lord was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. D. Lord, of
that city, and he had a wide acquain-
tance over the state, and hosts of
friends who will deeply regret his
death. He was a prominent Mason,
being an active member of Ken Tenn
pie at Grand Forks. He was most
popular fellow and liked by all who
knew him..

SATURDAY WAS
RECORD DAY

Saturday was a busy day in Devils
Lake and without doubt more out of
town shoppers visited this city that
day than on any other this fall. The
reason for this was the fact that upon
that day three of the city's biggest
stores had advertised sales. These
events had been freely advertised and
no. doubt but what the merchants done
fine business. Now that the holidays
are approaching every merchant in
the the city should give advertising it's
deserved attention. It is not fair that
two or three of the business men
should do the work, and while they re-
.ceive a. nice patronage, those who do
not have line of advertising will re-
ceicve a proportionate benefit there
from.
No one should be Stacker i. in this
matter-let everybody get in the game
and thry to make the holiday busi-
ness this year record for the city.
The World is not begging for business
we have splendid advertising pat
ronage justified by our circulation and
by the results the steady advertisers
receive, but this is written only in q
desire to benefit the business men OF
the city in general. If we cannot show
you where we can get the business fol
you. have talk with our competitor
but get in the game somewhere.

FRESH BEEF IN SUMMER

The Beef Ring is a good plan for
providing fresh meat for summer.
The scheme is for 16 to "a farmers
to organize a Beef Ring, one Of the
number to look after the butchering.
The carcass is so cut up and dis
tributed that each member gets boil
ing piece, a steak and roast each
week. Each member supplies an ami
NAL to be butchered. For detailed in
formation send to the Extension Div'n
Agr. College for bulletin on the Beef
Ring.

PERIOD OF GOVERNMENTAL
CONTROL.

Few of us can recall off hand what
emergency measures looking to the
taking over by the government of in
dustrial plants and other agencies
deemed necessary for the prosecution
of the war, nor for what periods gov
ernment control or supervision will
continue after the war. So the fol-
lowing list of such controls, with their
legal duration, taken from the Duluth
Herald, will be of interest:
Control of railroads-Twenty- y-one
months "after the war;"
Control of telephone and telegraphs
During the war.
Food and fuel control-Until the end
ing of the war is proclaimed.
War prohibition-from July 1, 1919,
until rehabilitation is completed.
Espionage act-Until the end Of the
war.
War trade board and export control
Until the end of the war.
War finance corporation-Until six
months after, the war, with further
time for liquidation.
Ndp1Cal ISSUES COlIAuuILSc-OACAA oAA
months after the war.
Reorganization of government bu-
reaus for war purposes under the Ov-
erman act-Until six months after the
war;.
Alien property custodian-Until the
end of the war, with extension Of time
to complete the work.
Government operation of ships
Until five years after the war.
Aircraft board-Until six months
after the war.
Agricultural stimulation-Until "the
end of the present emergency"
Housing construction - Until the
end of the war, except for shipbuild-
ers.
Labor, employment - During the
emergency"
Mineral stimulation-to be ended as
soon as possible af the proclamation
of peace.
All of these measures, therefore, are
still in effect and will remain in ef.
feet, unless congress shortens the per:
iod by amending the laws governing
them for months longer.

WITH N. ]. BREWER
TOLD FEIGENsPAN HE WAS IN
SYMPATHY WITH THE LIQUOR
BUSINESS. si;s.

Washington. Dec. 9.-Arthur Bris-
bane explained today to the senate
committee investigating brewers and
German propaganda his purchase of
the Washington Times with money
loaned by brewers. He also was ques-
toned regarding his business relations
with William Randolph Hearst, senti-
ments expressed in his editorials and
other matters.
Mr.. Brisbane told the committee
that he arranged the loan for the pur-
chase of the Times with C. j. Feigen-
Espan. a brewer of Newark, N. j.; that
the transaction was a business. affair
entirely and that he did not know the
other brewers who assisted Feigen-
span in underwriting the loan. The
brewers adancad 1915 900.
The witnesss denied allegations Of
pro- German sentiments in editorials
he has written, saying he always has
supported the cause Of the United
States, and strongly opposed Ger
many. Excerpts from editorials ap.
pearing in Hearst, newspapers were
produced by the committee, and Mr..
Brisbane was asked regarding the;,
authorship. Since only portions of
the articles appeared in the reprints,
the witness was not positive as to
their author, and he was given the ex-
cerpts with which to go over the files
to determine whether he wrote the
originals.
"If there was anything in these ia.
vorable to Germany ] know did moi
write,' the witness declared.
--- Gets $4,000 Per Week.
Mr.. Brisbane said William Randolph
Hearst knew nothing of his purchase
of the Times until after the transac
ton was completed, and that NJ,
Hearst at first objected to it, because
Brisbane's contract with Hearst stip.
ulated that the former give his entilx
time to the Hearst papers at salary
Of $4,000 a week. The witness sale
he told Mr.. Hearst if the Washington
Times interfered with his work Hears
could take over the Times at the prize
paid to Frank A. Munsey.
Senator Sterling OF South Dakot:
questioned Mr.. Brisbane about editor
ials in which he said England has no
always been renowned for her unset
|fishness."
"Now isn't that reference to tn,
principal ally of the United States cal
culated to reflect on the Unitet
States ?" the. senator asked.
} "No, don't think so," the witness
replied. II thought then, and I thinl
now, that England has not alway
been renowned for her unself~hness
That is not reflection on the Unite,
States"
Brisbane said that A. Mitchell Pal

purchase it because it was losing

Owns Milwaukee Paper.
The only other newspaper he owns,
Mr.. Brisbane said, is the Wisconsin
News. He said he purchased the Wis
consin Free Press, and News and con-
solidated them, and that brewers were
not involved in that transaction.
The witness told the committee that
his attitude toward the use of beer
and light wines brought him in touch
with brewers. He said he asked Mr..
Munsey to sell him the Times and let
him pay for it out of the earnings, but
the request was refused. He then
went to Feigenspan.
II said to him" declared the witness,
"yous know my attitude on beer. You
know how I feel toward your busi-
ness"
Brisbane then laid before Feigen-
span he plan for loan to purchase
the Times, and the brewer said he
believed it would be good invest
ment. The witness went on to say
that Fiegenspan said he did not know
that he could advance the full amount
himself, but that he would raise the
money among his friends.
Feigenspan, according to Brisbane,
refused to take mortgage on the
Brisbane real estate, saying he did not
wish to make any record of the loan
as it might appear that he was pur-
chasing newspaper support.
"Do you regard that as a loan. or
/ do you regard it as a gift?" asked
Senator Walcott of Delaware.
GAS loan, absolutely" the witness
replied.
Loaned To Berger.
A loan by Mr.. Brisbane to Victor
Berger of Milwaukee, the Socialist
who was elected to Congress at the
last election and who is under indict.
ment for violation of the Espionage
law, was described by the witness. HI
said labor unions in Milwaukee erect.
