PRO-CERMANS
GETTING BUSY
FIRING GRAIN
Time is at Hand When Ele.
vators Must Use Every
Precaution.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. c4.-Attorney
General William LANCER, in the alb
sence of State Fire Marshal Reade,
left last evening for McClusky to in
vestigate reports that attempts have
been made, by alleged pro-German
agencies. to burn grain stacks in that
vicinity. This is the. first report of the
kind that has reached the state fire
marshal's office, although a number
OF suspicious elevator fires have been
reported and Investigated.
Il am not of the opinion that we
have n large number Of German
agents at work in this state" said
Deputy Fire Marshal O. T.. Haakenson
of Towner today, in commenting upon
the McC1usky matter. W. are going
to leave nothing undone, however, to
check the activities of any kai:s rites
whom we may nave with us. Their
efforts, of course. will be directed
chiefly at the destruction Of food,
North Dakota's most important mill
tary resource.
THE time is at hand when ele-
vators and other places where grain
or other food products are stored
must use every precaution.' The prai-
ries are dry; we have high winds. and
we have had several mysterious
meadow fires, breaking out at a time
when they endangered large stocks of
grain in the field or in elevators. We
are insisting that the elevators care
fully skin the ground for at least six
feet on four sides Of their plants and
that every other care be exercised to
minimize the danger from fire."
State Fire Marshal Reade is now
at Minot and Columbus, investigating
recent fires, n a campaign Of edu-
cation is being carried on through the
press and by the medium Of circular
letters.

Not a small part of the humiliation if connection with the carrying out of the details of the zrnistice terms is inc surrender of such portions of the German fleet as is called for.

 Germany relied great deal upon it's feet T. understood of course that it did not possess the sea power of the British and that it could hardly cope with the combined fleet of the allied powers, but it nevertheless hoped that 1t could, through the stra- tcgic position which it held in npt be- ing forced to give battle except when 1t was prepared for it, strike series Of blows which would weaken it's op- ponents and that ne% eonstructinn would be able to make up for ether deficiencies.

Inventive genius has not been Idle during the war. Less attention may have been given to the accomplish ments in all directions because of the war, but it has been made evident from the large number of devices which have, been submitted to the government for the purpose of meet ing many of the problems which have arisen in the war that all the inventors have not ceased operations.
 While many of the ideas which have been advanced have not beef1 put into use, and never will be; there are not a few which have been ad6pted though it may be some time before they arc made public.
 It has been considered advisable now to let it be known that a most valuable improvement has heen made in the wireless telegra ph system, which is bound to be of permanent value for commercial us well as war use. Though all details in connection herewith have not been explained, Ii cannot fail to be recognized that the Weagand improvement brings the Mafconi system to a much highel state Of perfection.

 The destroyer fleet was just back from the latest cruise as we went aboard today. They had brought in six big transports, including three former German liners. Already the soldiers were marching to camp, and on board the destroyers things were being made ship-shape for the brief stay in port and then for the next adventure out beyond the capes, for with submarines off the port there is ceaseless vigilance, with always the chance of something happening and everyone on the tiptoe of expectation The reports broughts back of the last cruise were of the best It had been comparatively quiet and the tram sports had been brought through with out sign of a submarine. In fact it was so promising the previous Sun day that the commander of the fleet remarked they were going to have a
 quiet day.
 But at nine in the morning there was an alarm, with all the gun and l torpedo crews springing to their posts and after that four successive alarms 1 throuh this quiet day, though none
 of the alarms developed into an ac- i tual attack. It showed, however. thu
 steady tension even when conditions
