that point is in good condition, and it
is likely that too much speed, and
the fact that Cowles is not accus-

sible for the accident.

Written to his wife at Monango:
Well. the band is playing again, but
not my favorite tune; however I'll try
to write a little anyway. Several
things. have happened since the other
night. I've been transferred to the
Headquarters Detachment, and also
received orders to go up before the
examining board the 10th of this
month and take the examination for
corporal. It came rather sudden.
was expecting promotion of course,
but not until l proved worthy of it.,
two or three months at least. The
man in here before me was here
three months before they made him
corporal. However, am not COM
planning. I'll accept the trust and the
additional money 81, with the greatest
pleasure. Being corporal don't
sound SO loud, but believe me, cor
poral in the Marine Corps is just
about equal to a End Lieutenant in
the new draft army, at least its harder
to get. for you have to be soldier
here and three-fourths of the Lieuten-
ants in the draft army are not. Ef-
f1ciency is the marines long suit, and
we sure do have to uphold it.
Bad luck seems to follow good, for
it seems that I've lost a friend, one
of the boys that came out with me
got job here in the office before I
did, and recommended me, now he
won't hardly speak to me because I
get promotion and he don't.
The band has quit already, and I
haven't written thing interesting.
we have three bands on the Island,
Marine. Navy and Native; they take
1t turn about each evening, the Native
band plays every morning. Starting
with Colors they play the Star
Spangled Banner as the Flag is hoist
ed then they play the National An
them Of our Allies; Sunday, English;
Monday, Belgium; Tuesday, French;
Wednesday, Italian; Thursday, Portu-
gese; Friday, Japanese; and satur-
day, Brazilian. After that they play
for the native children to take phys.
ical exercise, the school house is
about block below the barracks.
They have their exercise on our par
'ade ground just in front of my office.
there's about three hundred Of them,
and they all seem to be about the
same size. quite pretty sight to see
them go through their exercise.
Ny inspiration has all evaporated.

DOYLE MAKES FINE IMPRESSION
Giving the People Real Facts Con-
corning Doctrines Of League
Leaders

s. ]. Doyle, Democratic candidate
for governor. backed by the Repub-
licans and Democrats alike who are
opposed to socialism, is making a
splendid impression on the state wide
speaking tour that he is now making.
He is being received by large audi
ences, and in the extreme northwest
ern part of the state, where the op-
position is strongest, he has been
very favorably received.
Unlike other campaigners, Mr..
Doyle is dealing with the doctrines
which the socialists who are directing
the nonpartisan league propaganda
are expounding. He has shown how
one of the proposed group of consti-
tutlonal amendments is a wide open
public debt without limit provision,
whereas the socialists have endeav-
ored to create the impression that it
is s12,o00,000 public debt limit; he
Is discussing the single tax and its
effect upon land; he is presenting an
analysis of House Bill "A that was
proposed in the last legislature and
which is before the people for vote
in November in the form of group
of ten constitutional amendments.
The kind of campaign that Mr..
Doyle is making has resulted in Bit
terest attacks on him by his enemies,
and he has been held up to ridicule
and caricatured, instead of being met
on the platform by Governor Frazier,
who is backing the amendments and
supported House Bill A. Mr.. Frazier
has declined to meet Mr.. Doyle in a
discussion of the real issues that are
before the people at this time, issues
of far greater import than ever before
presented to the people of North Da-
kota.
Hear Mr.. Doyle at the Grand
Theatre next Monday afternoon at
4:30 O'Clock, or at Glendale in the
evening at $780, Many local boosters
will accompany him to Glendale for
the evening.

With French Making Continued
Gains, Wilson Confers on
Peace Note.
''H|NDY" QUITS, REPORT
Senate Leaders and Allied Press Say
Armistice Should Not Be Con.
sidered Now-French Take
Important Points.


Washington, Oct. 8.-Wilson' confers
with allied leaders; French make fur
ther smashing gains; Hindenburg re-
signs after telling the kaiser further
retreats are inevitable; senate de-
nounces armistice as unthinkable at
this time-so runs the thread of the
days news following the announce
ment of Kaiser Wilhelm's new peace
offensive which was designed to set all
nations into a sudden spasm of aver
sion to further continuance Of the war.
With his Macedonian front collapsed,
by his own admission to his own peO-
pie; and with continued disaster in
.evitable. according to the dictum Of his
most trusted military leader, the kaiser
has established government" under
Prince Max which hopes to avert fur
ther war by recitation Of its willing
ness to quit and consider the fourteen
suggestions of President Wilson as the
basis for negotiations regarding peace.
That these suggestions are not basis
for negotiations at all, but a minimum
of the requirements that must abso-
lutely be accepted by the enemy with
out question is the prevalent opinion
here; in which not only senate leaders,
but also the influential press of Amer
lea and the allied nations appear to
almost universally concur.

London, Oct. 8.--Outfought hy the
French and Americans, the Germans

Champagne sector between Rheims
and the Argonne forest. The enemy
has been caught between General
Berthelot's army on the west and Gen.
eral Gouraud's forces on the east and
Is retiring northward toward the Re-
tourne river.
1t may be possible for him to stand
back of that stream, but 1t seems i'm
probable that there will be much of a
halt in the retreat until the Germans
reach the Aisne. General Berthelot's
advance in the Rheims region has
gravely menaced the enemy forces
south Of the Retourne and, although
the retrograde movement Is being cov-
cred by rearg,lards, well supplied with
machine guns. 1t appears to be going
on rapidly. The French seem to have
reached the Suippe over {. wide front.

enemy from the Champagne sector,

WiIsoH confers With Allied Leaders.
Washington, Oct. 8.-President VIII
son is comforting with the premiers Of
the entente. nations over the form Of
an answer to be made to Germany's
latest peace proposals. The indicR-
tions are that it will not be dispatched
for day or two. While there may be
some question as to the form Of the
reply, there is no question whatever
as to its nature. It may not use the
short and forceful term, "uncondi-
tional surrender" which would reflect
the sentiment which has come from
the spokesman of the nation, but it is
sure to convey to the German govern
ment very clearly the fact that moth
ing less than the terms already laid
down can be accepted, and that those
terms cannot be made merely "the
basis for negotiation" As to an
armistice, such a step would be looked
upon as suicidal and not to be thought
of.

Beirut and eerry-Au-eae Taken.

Beirut ana oerTy.Au.0ac 1kons
Washington, Oct. s.-The troops Of
the French general, Berthelot, have
delivered successful blow against the
Germans northwest Of Rheims which
adds materially to the menace that is
hanging over the German front from
the North sea to the Swiss border.
This was the capture Of Berry-Au-
Bac, on the north side Of the Aisne,
about ten and half miles northwest
Of Rheims and only scant five miles
from the eastern end Of the famous
Chemin Das Danes ridge at Craonne.
A further advance northward across
the railroad not alone will put the
great stronghold Of Laon in a pocket,
but also will outflank Neufchatel,
another enemy stronghold on the west.
The Turks also have suffered a
serious blow in the loss to the French
Of Beirut, capital Of the vilayet Of
Syria. The occupation of this seaport
on the Mediterranean by French
naval division gives the allies base
for the landing Of men who. can
operate in all directions againstthe
Turks over the roads radiating from It.

disarming both OF Russian soldiers and sailors
as they left Finland, for the Firms
needed guns and ammunition. The Russians
sometimes fought but were surrounded and dis
armed. In Hesingfors while / there in
March the Red Guard and the sailors were fight
ing each other nightly with rifles and machine
guns. One of two Finnish Red Guard leaders
almost surely is Nevalainen, but under the cir
cumstances i do not care to speculate.
The order to hold all foreign embassies in Red
Finland was given coincidentiy with the ap-
pearance of one of them upon the scene. The
excuse offered was that foreigners were carrying
information to the Write Guard Simultaneous
Iy influence was exerted in the White Guard
to increase difficulties in passage between the
lines. 1t is reasonable to place the obstacles TO
passage created on both sides Of the Finnish
line to German effort, for German aid being
given the White Guard openly at the moment it
was intriguing in the inner councils Of the Red
Guard. The American party cornered in Finland
escaped only by persistence and good fortune.
The British Embassy party was passed through
the day before the closing order came. The
French and Italian Embassies were obliged after
a month Of vain effort TO return to Russia.

MINNEsOTA'S TRAGEDY.

Even to minds numbed with the horrors
of four years of war the shocking tragedy
of Northeastern Minnesota sounds like a
ghsstly exaggeration.
Unfortunately, however, the telegraphic
accounts of the havoc wrought by the for
est fires in the vicinity of Duluth seem to
be more borne out than by the accounts
contained in the Duluth daily papers.
To residents of a prairie country, it may
be difficult to comprehend why such ter
rible loss of life is possible. The land ad-
iacent to Duluth is largely cut-over"
land, on which there is a second growth
of small poplar, birch and evergreen. Af-
ter long continued dry spell, like the
present and with all the dried leaves on
the ground, the woods are like tinder In
these woods the clearings Of the settlers
are small. Forty acres is considered a
substantial clearing Many settlers have
but five or ten, or perhaps but an acre
around their cabins. Famed by terrific
gale, the blaze swept through this forest
ait terrific speed, burning brands being
fires far ahead.
LII was a repelnon, on larger scale, OF
the Hinckley and Chisholm fires
The state governments of Minnesota and
Wisconsin have rushed aid to the stricken
districts, and the Red Cross is on the
ground, as it always is when there is suf-
fering and sorrow.
re that is not enough, Duluth has only
to send out the call for more help, and
dozens of cities in the Northwest Fargo
among them will be willing to send aid.
