proposition for obtaining an arm
stice and peace.
The publication in Berlin gemi-
official newspapers OF Bulgaria
arnistice requests was the cause OF
the great panic in the German cap
ital, according to adyices received at
Copenhagen. and forwarded by the
Exchange Telegraph correspondent.
Admiral Won Hintze. the German
foreign secretary. according to the
advices in a speech before the main
committee of the Reichstag said that
the difficulties of the Bulgarians be-
tween the Vardar and the Cerna had
not been fully appreciated because
the entente commander to open
peace negotiations.
Admiral Won Hintze said that from
the reports which were incomplete
it was not yet clear whether the
Bulgarian government had acted In
accordance with the arn1y's desires
or on it's own. initiative. There were
indications, he said. that Premier
Malinoff's move would be disavowed
by later developments. He added
that there was great excitement in
Bulgaria and in influential circles
the people were against an
SLAAloLlSC VI NLAA a.GApPSebI 1OI pGtlSS.
He said that the peace delegation
which 1t was reported had left for
Salonilli on Wednesday, was still in
Sofia on Thursday and there evi-
IDENTIFY was some counter action
coming.
German Reserves Sent.
The German high command ad-
miral Won Hint2e said, Immediately
threw all the reserves at it's disposal
into Bulgaria when the bad news
from Macedonia became known. The
Austrians also sent forces and these
reserves, he said. were sufficient to
restore the military position.
"The situation must. however, be
characterized as critical" Admiral
Won Hintze is reported to have
said but 1t will be clearer in few
days and there is no reason to give
up the game in Bulgaria"
The Bulgarian plea for armstice
was in response to arti-war agita-
ton among the bulk Of the people,
the correspondent says in his dis
patch from Copenhagen. The cor
respondent also hears that King
Ferdinand himself played an active
role in the peace move until Ger
many countered his move.
King Takes Lead.
According to this report the king,
realizing that the people were deter
mined to end the war, took the ini-
tiatiye some time ago in intrigues
for peace, hoping to save his throne
and stave off revolution. It was
for this reason that he went to
Germany, and the correspondent
adds that it was a curious fact that
his whereabouts and actions since
he returned have been a mysery.
A solution of the mystery is said
to be that the Germans in Bulgaria
realized that the king was turning
against them and they virtually kept
him a prisoner, at any rate to the
extent Of preventing him from TAX
ing a hand in peace overtures. The
Germans, however, were powS ess
against the popularity of KIN
Ter Malinoff who, it is recalled, VTA e
Bulgaria's policy was undecided, Op-
posed an alliance with the Central
Powers.

Women viii
Be Registered

Baltimore, Sept. Registration
Of young women as well, as men for
Industrial training in peace times as
well as in war times was urged by
Col. Theodore Roosevelt In a speech
here today opening the Fourth Lib
erty loan campaign.
I'VE now have an approach to the
universal service which some Of us
have for years been demanding, he
said. We now have all men from
10 to IS required to serve their coun-
try and required to register. Let us
make this system permanent and
use 1t for the purpose Of peace no
less than for purposes of war. Let
us extend the principles to women no
less than men. Let us have suffrage
on service. Let us demand the serv-
ice from women as we do from men,
and in return give the suffrage to
all men and women who in peace and
war perform the service and to no
others"

Gaines claims that the land which
Dunn and Wolff put in crop had been
leased for two years for pasture
purposes; that the Oliver county of
ficials ignored this lease and went
upon the land and broke 1t and seed
ed it to flax without the consent of
the owner or the lessee, and Mr..
Gaines asks to be shown what right
the defendants have. to remove from
this Ian dthe crop which they have
grown there.
Gaines is represented by Attorney
w H. Stutsman OF Mandan, while
Attorney General William LANCER
appears In the preliminary proceed
ings as representative OF the defend
ants and the council of defense. The
council Of defense's land CONSUMPTION
order has several times been attack
ed in the court, but in each instance
the council has arbitrated and set
tied the difficulties out of court. MIR.
Gaines, who very greatly resented
the seizure Of his land last spring,
does not appear disposed to arbl-
trate, and it is expected that an ac-
tual test of the powers delegated by
legislature to the council OF ue1enss
may result from his action.
It is not known how much land
was seized about the state under
this order. The acreage, however,
was not extremely large, because the
order was promulgated too late in
the spring to permit the planting OF
wheat, and almost too late to war
rant the sowing Of much flax in land
so taken over. There, are neverthe-
less, several counties in which the
status OF inpromptu lessees by vir-
tue of the council of defense will be
affected by the decision of this suit.
The council of defense order pro-
vid as payment for the use of the
land an allowance to ten per cent
of the gross receipts from crops
grown, to be paid on or before the
first day of November. 1918.
Chief objections to the councils
action in the western part Of the
state has been that it has resulted in
the breaking up of land which is OF
little worth for agricultural purposes
but* which was valuable for grazing,
so long as the native sod was left
undisturbed. The result Of breaking,
it is claimed, has been crop Of
mustard and other no4iOus weeds
which will prove a detriment to the
land for many years TO come. while,
it salleged. the tracts will never
produce in grain as mrch revenue
as they would have created as pas
ture for stock or as hay lands

DEFENSE CONCIlJL
ORDER ON LANDS
IS ATTACKED AS
Law VIOLATION

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 2s.The
right of the state council OF defense
to seize and turn over to other par
ties the property of North Dakota
citizens will be contested in the dis
trict court here October 4, upon
which date Judge w. l.. Nuessle has
made returnable an order issued to-
day on petition Of A. d. Gaines, Twin
City and Dakota land owner citing
States Attorney Dunn and Treasur-
er Paul Fl. Wolff of Oliver county
to show cause why they should not
be restrained from harvesting a
crop of flax from 80 acres of Gaines
land in Oliver county.
1t was in connection with the hold
ing of Mr.. Gaines in Oliver county,
which total several thousand acres,
that the council of defense last June
ordered: That any person in the
state having the means and ability
so to do shall have the right and
and privilege to enter upon and take
possession of specific number of
arces of land which is vacant and
unproductiye and which is not now
i being utilized during the season of
1918 for crop or food production or
for pasturage for livestock, and
which is not subject to lease con-
tract or otherwise for purpose of
breaking UP or summer following
same so as to prepare the land for
crop production for war purposes
for the year 1872
Pursuant to this order, and with
the approval of the state council of
defense, States Attorney Dunn and
County Treasurer Wolff of Oliver
county took over 80 acres Of Gaines
land, while other Oliver county peo-
pie entered upon various other par
cells of the big property. Now Mr..

HIGH SCHOOL MEN
ONLY ELIGIBLE
FOR ENTRANCE TO
A. c. ARMY CAMP

Important changes in the plans of
the educa, tional division Of the United
States war department were an
nounced by Dean A. A. Potter special
representa- i've OF the government, at
a conference with officials Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
here today
1t was announced that at present
the agricultural college viii be able
To receive at the opening Of the term,
as members of the Student Army
Training CORPS, only those young men
between the ages Of IS and 81, who
are graduates OF high schools with
not less than Is units.
This will affect about 200 North
/ Dakota men who have filed appliCa-
I tion for adrnittance into the vOca-
tional group. ! After the conference
I president Ladd made the following
announcement.
"All students who are not grad
yates Of high schools or who have
mot Is units enter the institution as
Irregular students and may on Oct 15,
possibly be jnducted into the voca-
itional group, but on this point we
have no information as yet from the
war department"
The first plans announced by the
war department authorized the COL
,Iege to accept students who had a
grammar school education, but had
not graduated from high school into
the voca tionnl section. The new
plan makes n complete change in this
arrangement.
Under the original plans the COL
Iege had arranged to handle 300 COL
.legiate students, 900 vocational stud
ents and 800 students in the engineer
ing detachment. They will still
bundle the collegiate students and
the students in tho engineering de
tachment, but tho vocational group
will not be handled, at least until
Oct Is.

BEATING THE SUBMARINE

The April submarine sinkings Of
1915 are about S. per cent Of the losses
in April, 1917.
At the same time the ship building
program of the Allies and neutral pow,
ers is producing new tonnage at rate
more than double year ago.
To be exact, the sinkings for April,
1918. aggregate 3S5,O0O tons. America
and Great Britain. in April. produced
over 100000 tons Of new shipping. and
are rapidly increa sing their building.
Some months ago Admiral Jeltcoe pre-
dicted that the submarine menace
would be overcome by August first 1t
appears that his prediction will be YER
fled. Undoubtedly the means Of fight.
ing the submarine have become more
effective.
The recent raids on Zeebrugge and
Ostend have seriously disturbed the
German program. and the means Of de-
tectlng and guarding against subma-
rines have been effectively improved.
While the submarine menace is not to
be- lightly considered. it is no longer
possible that it will be a determining
factor in the war.
