EACH MONTH is
BRINGING MANY
SOLDIERS HOME
German And Austrian Ships Will As
sist in the Transporting-An Boys
in France Are Expected Here BY
Midsummer.

Some Grand Forks county soldiers
may soon be expected home from
France, although definite information
as to dates, ETC., is still lacking. Sew
eral hundred Of them form part of the
contingent Of 100000 American
soldiers now in France who are to be
shipped home at the rate of 100000
or more each month. They should all
be home by midsummer of next year,
providing no military reaso develops
for keeping them abroad.
German combined passenger and
freight ships hat have been idle for
more than four a in the ports of
Hamburg, Bremen, Trieste and Fiume
may make up part of the fleet to carry
the American troops home. There
are ships in German and Austrian
ports with a combined passenger ca
pacity of 100, 900, which would be
useful to take the place of the seven
great British liners which have car
ried sixty per cent of the American
soldiers abroad since March.

Europe and Asia to England, India,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Some Of the American soldiers may
be brought home on combination pas
senger and freight ships like the
Baltic, under the British flag, which
would carry provisions to England on
the return trip.
The government has indicated that
notice Of the return of soldiers to diff
ferent communities will be given in
ample time to make preparations for
their reception. .

TIL THANKSGIVING
UNION SERVICE
IS POSTPONED
Ministers Protest Against
Lifting Closing
Ban.

Pastors Of five local churches this
ment to the effect that in view of the
fact that a danger of a recurring out
break of the influenza epidemic might
still be imagined, it had been deemed
wise to postpone union services
scheduled to be held on Thanksgiving
day.
Before this statement was issued
several other ministers had an
nounced that special Thanksgiving
services were to be held, but When
their attention was called to the
statement %cancelling the union serv-
ice arrangement, asked that their an
n"ouncenents be not considered def
mite unless further notice be given
some time tomorrow.
Those who announced that they
intended to hold services on Thursday
were the First Lutheran and the
Bethany Lutheran congregations, as
we'll as the Swedish Lutheran. The
Scandinavian Methodist church plan
ned to hold a prayer meeting, n the
service. Services were also an
nounced for the Bethel Lutheran
church and the German Lutheran
Evangelical congregation, as well as
for the First Church of Christ Sci
enlist.
Final notice will be made public in
all these instances some time tomor-
row. Several of the ministers who
planned to hold services on Thursday
admitted that they were vexed over
the attitude Of the five congregations
advising against services, and some of
them indicated that as long as the
health authorities had deemed it safe
to lift the closing ban, it was not a
matter for clergymen to decide
whether or not the health of the
public was endangered. One minister
said he had confidence in the ability
Of the local authorities to judge as to
whether or not any danger was still
remaining.
Following is the statement signed
by five ministers who decided that
they will hold no Thanksgiving serv-
ices:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
beard Of health has lifted the ban, we
deem it unwise to hold any service
which would bring a large crowd to-
gether at this time. Therefore, we
have decided to postpone the union
Thanksgiving service until a later
date.

|NeW Rates
Discussed
Local Brokerage Firm Protests
Against Proposed New Class
Freight Rate Scales, Denouncing
Them as Unjust and Unreasonable.

At the request of a member of the
United States railroad administra-
ton, a local brokerage house has sent
a communication to the interstate
commerce commission at Washington
discussing the proposed new class
rate scales for freight which are pro-
tested against as being unjust, un-
reasonable and unfair"
In the letter to the commission,
dated November 25, the brokerage
house says it is writing in behalf Of
wholesale grocery firms and whole
sale fruit houses operating in North
Dakota, South Dakota, northern Min
nesota, Montana and Nebraska and
doing business principally in smaller
cities so that from t~wo-thirds to
three-fourths of the business of these
houses is done at country towns in
nearby territory. One Of the results
of this situation Is that the length Of
the haul rarely exceeds 200 miles. the
average haul being from so to rs
miles.
Rates q Heavy Blow.
In the letter to the commission it
is pointed out that the proposed rates
constitute the heaviest blow Of its
kind ever struck at the business OF
these places and affects practically
every business man and institution
doing any shipping in competition
with the large markets.
The letter says:
Taking the first four class rates
on which all distribution of less car
load lots Of merchandise takes place,
using the 75-mile scale as a typical
one, we find that rates from all job
bling points in North Dakota are in
creased 1914 per cent, from similar
points in Minnesota 10 per cent, from
points in South Dakota east of Mis-
souri, river 32h per cent, from all
jobbing points in Montana 22h per
cent. From the larger jobbing points
in Nebraska 10 per cent, and from the
al illustrations for different distances
are attached hereto. in all cases show
ing similar results. There Is nothing
given out from Washington to justify
these increases"
Most Dangerous Feature.
Asking why discrimination is made
Cities the letter to the interstate
commerce commission continues:
But this is not the most dangerous
feature of the proposed change. We
quote from letter received from the
United States railroad administrations:
Please be advised that these rates ap-
ply between points in the territory
named. In mo- s. do they apply be-
tween a point within a territory and
a point without. The effect of this is
with one or two notable exceptions, to
leave In effect what may be termed
overhead rates, and to preserve those
competitive relations which have
heretofore existed
IL this lean anything 1t means
that rates from Minneapolis and, Du-
luth to North-Dak0ta, rates from Chi
caso, St. Louis, Kansas City, etc, To

South Dakota and Nebraska, and rates
from all Of these points to Montana
are not going to be changed, disturbed
or advanced in any way. 1t Is fur
Their apparent that with these over
head rates left in effect, the compe-
titive conditions heretofore existing
will not be preserved in this terri
tory"

Despite the abnormal conditions
caused by the Wharf.-The show has been
more successful than any previous
exposition. 1t has been an exception
ally good business show, much more
so than local dealers anticipated.
Every exhibitor today reported an eX-
~ceptionally good week.
The week also has been an excellent
one for prospecting" Aside from
the actual buyers, there were an UNI
usually large number of people who
expect to buy cars later in the year,
and dealers have assembled long lists
Of prospects, which undoubtedly will
mean good business for several
months.
The truck and tractor business has
caused more comment thar any other
feature of the show. Truck dealers
have been exceptionally busy. and, for
the first time, tractor men have play
ed an important part in the EXPOSE
ton. The show developed the fact
that there will, be a great increase this
year in the sale of trucks and tractors
An interesting feature in connection
with, the sale sof autos is the almost
universal demand for closed cars.
With few exceptions, new buyers have
insisted upon sedans. The closed cav
has become exceptionally popular, and
local dealerS expect to do a great
business in them this year..
