NO BAR TO PEACE
Austro-Hungarian Foreign
Minister Approves Presl-
. dent Wilson's July 4 Talk.
READY EVER TO NEGOTIATE
By the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Pres.
AMSTERDAM, July 16.-Baron Won
Burian, the Austro-H Hungarian foreign
minister, in a note addressed to the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers, is
quoted in a dispatch from Vienna as
saying:
"There is hardly any difference be-
tween the general principles enun.
ciated by the statesmen Of both bellig-
erents. President Wilson's four new
points Of July shall not, apart from
certain e1aggerations, arouse our op-
position"
Continuing, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister said:
"The enemy's obstinacy regarding
his territorial demands concerning
Alsace-Lorraine, Triest, Trentino and
the German colonies appears to be
insurmountable."
Tribute to President Wilson.
In his reference to President VIII
sons four new points In his July
Fourth speech, Baron Burian said he
was able to approve Of them heartily,
and that to a great extent nobody
would refuse homage to this genius
and nobody would refuse his co-op-
eration"
Baron Burian said none of tho bel
hgerent states need ever come into
the position reached by Russia and
Rumania, as I'VE ever are ready to
enter into peace negotitions with all
our opponents"
Continuing the foreign minister said
IF our enemies continuously demand
atonement for wrong done and resti-
tuition then this is a claim which we
could urge with more justification
against them, because we have been
attacked and the wrong done to ue
must be redressed."
Appeals to Party Leaders.
Berlin newspapers give much atten-
tion to the meeting of The Austrian
reichsrat- called for today.
Premier Won Seydler received num-
Der of party leaders Saturday and
conferred with them for i've hours
during which the leaders, according
to Vienna kilograms. showed SO much
| attachment to the interests of theiI
respective parties that the premier
| ultimately appealed to them to let the
session pass in way to serve the
interests of the monarchy. The con-
ference caused a great sensation.

Old Landmark Moved

Rasmus Anderson, OF the Miller
Creamery, is moving the old Press Of
fee building on West Second street
to the back end of that lot, I'M Will
erect a new brick creamery n ice
cream factory thereon next spring.
The old building o being moved has
somewhat of a history. The main
part of it was built in st. Lawrence
in the early days, we believe in 1882,
on the west side of Main street, where
it was used as a saloon. 1t was NOV
ed to Miller and located on the lot
where the opera house now stands
about the year 1885 or 1886. From
there It was moved to about the loca-
ton now occupied by the Sun office,
and was used as an implement store.
From there it vas moved to the pres
emit location on Second street, built
onto in 1889, and used as the Press
office for a few years, after which 1t
housed a dozen different kinds OF
business.

CITY AGAIN NORMAL
AS FLU" RECEDES
Closing Ban Lifted on Public Meet
ings I'm Miller

An order lifting the closing ban on
schools, churches and all public gath
erings in Miller went into effect Sun
day when regular services were re-
sumed in all churches CT the city.
Schools reopened Monday morning
after an enforced vacation of six
weeks and it is expected that business
conditions which have been somewhat
curtailed by the presence of the cpl
demic will soon become normal.
The city emergency hospital will
discharge the last Of its patients and
close this week. During its existence
of nearly four weeks, many patients
have been cared for with only one
death occurring at the hospital.
Much credit is due the local Defense
Council and city officials for realiz-
ing the need of such an institution
for the county and their quick action
in getting the hospital in operation.
They were most fortunate in securing
the services of Miss Gertrude Rines,
a Red Cross Public Health Nurse, who
had just completed her two months
work of public health service in Hand
county.
Miss Rines consented to remain and
assume charge of the hospital, which
was a means of centralizing her work,
thus giving the proper care to a great
err number of persons than any other
method could have done. She was
assisted at the hospital by several
local ladies who have had some ex-
perience in nursing. In addition to
her services at the hospital Miss Rines
was busy making professional visits
about the city, wherever she was
She has rendered a most val
liable service to this community at a.
time when there is a scarcity of both

say her work has been thoroughly ap-
preciated. Miss Rines will leave this

she will continue her Public Health
work under the direction Of the gov

Four Pound Ration
OF Sugar to Come Soon

Washington, Nov. 16.-While no
formal action has been taken by the
food administration, officials indicated
today that it is probable the sugar
allotment will be increased from three
pounds to four pounds per person per
month on December /. The increase
will also apply to public eating places
allowing four pounds instead of three
for every ninety meals served.
Lifting of all restrictions on sugar
use after January / was thought like
ly by officials. By February, 1t is in
timated, central Europe and France
and Italy will be a position to resume
production.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1918-11-21

This years production upon the
above acreage in Hand county brings
3 total value of about eight and a
half millions of dollars. This is the
total today upon which is based the
1913 prosperity of the county, exclu-
siye of live stock and its products.
The value OF cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses, poultry, butter, eggs, hay, al
falfa, etc. produced in the county, is
also a record breaker, and would add
many millions of dollars to the sum
total of the county's 1918 new wealth.
The possibilities of Hand %county's
future is double the above acreage,
with more than a double of the popu-
lation. When that time comes, and it
may be in the near future, 500 per
acre farm land will be hard to find in

U. 5. AIRPLANES
DIRECTED BY PHONE
Wireless Telephone Is Americas Con.
tributiOn to Air Fighters

Washington, Nov. 15.-Squadrons OF
American airplanes fighting in France
up to the moment of the signing OF
the armistice were manouvering un-
der the local orders of squadron com
manders that reached every pilot by
radio telephone.
News of the successful development
of this device, hitherto a military Sc
cret, although some inkling of it had
reached the Germans just before hos
~tilities ceased, was allowed to be
made public today by John ID. Ryan,
the director of aircraft production.
There are some details concerning
it which cannot be discussed yet" he
said, "but the radio devices worked
out during months of experiment
went into actual service some weeks
age. | have myself given orders from
the ground TO a squadron flying in the
air and watched them ac-
cordingly The transmission of the
voice can be heart distinctly through
the sound of the motor. 1t is IN every
way the most satisfactory way OF
communicating between planes in the
air and from the ground to planes"
Sound Carries for Miles
Mr.. Ryan said he could not discuss
the distances over which the radio
telephone has worked, but it is known
to be a matter of some miles.
w. C Potter of the equipment di-
vision of the bureau explained that
the idea of the radio telephone was
conceived some time ago by expert
mentors. It's successful development
work of the bureaus own people.
The fact that radio telephones were
a regular part of airplane equipment
was only made known since tht cap
ture of a German order demanding
that an American plane with a wire
less telephone be shot down for ex-
animation.
Were Producing Planes Fast
Mr.. Ryan said today that the high
pressure on airplane production eased
off Immediately after the signing OF
the armistice Just previously 800
de Haviland planes were being turned
ont v.ak,y and about twenty Handiey
Page bombing planes were being con
structed weekly In a k~nock-down
state for shipment. These latter are
the latest type of flying machines yet

FREED PRISONERS
JOYFULLY RETURN
American Army Welcomes Their Bsys
Back From German Prisons

With the American Army I'm France,
Nov. 16.-America's first real prison
ers of war have returned. They are
men who fought under the French
command and those who were in the
"Yanks' Own Corps" at st. Mihiel,
Chateau Thierry, Puvigny, and in the
great drive of Sept. 26.
They sat last night at their Owl
messes and slept near their own
campfires for the first time since their
capture, two to six months ago. Yes
terday morning they came in fiocks,
from so to 200.
Prisoners Enthusiastically Welcomed
The enthusiasm of the doughboys
at the end of the war was nothing
compared to the wildness with which
they received the returning Ameri-
cans. Each one of the released pris-
oners was surrounded by great groups
of soldiers and the eager listeners
forced them to tell the story of the
capture. life in the German prisons
and their return.
Many had been in prison camps in
Luxembourg, others in Belgium.
When taken prisoners most of the
Americans were lightly clothed. AS
the cold weather came on there came
suffering, because the Germans gave
them no warmer apparel, despite the
lack of food and clothing.
The released men make no com
plant of their treatment. The pris-
oners had been informed quickly that
the armistice had been signed, On
Tuesday morning the German officers
told them they could go home. A
guide was furnished for each group
and q small amount of food was given
to the Joyful Americans as they began
their march.
Suffer Many Hardships
The hardships of the march were
terrific as the mild weather sharpen
ed They had to sleep in open fields.
Some Americans walked % miles in
one day. Distance meant nothing,
hardships meant nothing, for they
were on their way back to their own
regiments. Furthermore. all minim-
lied their sufferings.
Because Of their pitiful condition.
the Luxembourg civilians attitude to-
ward the Americans was remarkable.
Women did all possible to aid them
on their way. Many old women gave
them kisees, blessing the Yanks as
they rejoiced over the end of the war.
Seeing the first Yank patrols they
began running. The sentries passed
the word back and the Doughboys
who we're getting ready for a march
into Germany to welcome the delega-
tons, iocked out among the prison
ers reaching Dun yesterday.
