London, July IA German sub marine 70 miles from the Irish coast on the night of June 27, torpedoed the ii 1,dd0 ton hospital ship Liand- every Castle, which had been char tered by the Canadian government and had been in the service of car rying wounded and sick from Eng land to Canada for many months past. The ship was then on her way to England. She had on board 25S persons, including 80 men of the Canadian army medical corps, and fl female nurses
 Up to the latest reports only 2i of those on board, including the cap tain, have survived the treacherous attack which came without warning. The submarine commander, who ordered the captain of the Lland- every Castle, several of his officers and Major Lyon of the medical corps aboard, declared he had sunk the ship because she was carrying Amer ican aviation officers and others in the fighting service of the allies. He added to this later by asserting the vessel was carrying intuition stores, because of an explosion which had occurred aft.
 All lights were burning when the Llandovery Castle was torpedoed. These included huge electric cross over the bridge and strings of white and green lights on either side. The red crosses on the sides of the ves- sel also were Illuminated by electric lights.
 According to Red Cross informa- tion many men were killed in the en- zine rooms. There is hardly any doubt of this, as there was no re- sponse to Captain Sylvester's signals from the bridge after the torpedo struck. As the enginemen were either killed or left at their posts, there was no one left to shut off the power and the ship kept on her way, notwithstanding the great holes torn by the torpedo, not beginning to slow down until the water rushed into the boiler room, extinguishing the fires.
 This added to the confusion in launching the lifeboats. But there was no panic and by the time the Llandovery Castle lost her mo- mentum most of the boats were over the side. Those above decks began climbing into them in good order. But many were unable to reach the boats and the ship was sinking rap idly.
 They jumped into the sea and 6 few of them were picked up.
 According to information received by the Canadian Red Cross here, Major Lyon. from the Llandoyery Castle was forced to stand in the coming tower despite an injured foot, while the German submarine officers questioned him. The Ger mans insisted that Major Lyon was an aviation officer, notwithstanding the officers strenuous denials. The Germans even threatened to shoot Major Lyon, contending that he was an officer of the fighting unit. not medical officer.
 The admiralty report on the sink ing describes the cruel treatment of Major Lyon and declares that the submarine, after sinking the vessel shelled an unknown target which the report intimates might have been the | missing boats.

WASHINGTON LOOKS
 FOR GERMAN OFFENSIVE
PERSHiNG'S REPORTS SHOW HUNS ARE PREPARING FOR
 ANOTHER ASSAULT.

Washington, July 1.-Resumption of the German offensive on the German west front is now expected momentar- | fly by army officials here.
 General Pershing1s reports and French and British advices have shown increasing enemy activity day by day, indicating the Germans are preparing for another assault.
 There is great stir and movement among the Germans before the Amer ican lines around Chateau Thierry where an army corps of American troops stands shoulder to shoulder with the French to block the road to Paris.
 Secretary Baker disclosed today that organization of the first army corps probably had been completed, T suspect" the secretary said In reply to question, that several of our divisions are operating together as an army corps under command of Ma jor General Hunter Liggett. Whether any other divisions have been created into an army corps and a tentative The first, second and third diyis- ions (regular) commanded respect lively by Major General R. l.. Bullard Omar Bundy and Joseph T. Dickman are included in the first corps, and are either at Chateau Thierry or Can tigny The corps organization plan calls for six divisions, four combatant and two replacement, and with the necessary artillery units and other ad- dtional troops, the total strength of corps would be nearly 220,000 men. Undoubtedly General liggett has all
 the elements necessary for his corps 1 if his organization is complete Tb,pe is every reason to believe that by the Fourth of July more than
 a million American troops will have sailed. An official announcement to that effect as d part of the Fourth of July celebration is to be expected. Secretary Baker had no advice to day to show that formation Of the first field army under General Liggett
 had been entirely completed.

 Success has apparently crowned the offensive of the Italians sn the mountains north of the Venetian plains Launched on Saturday, the attack on the Austrian lines has gained rugged heights where the en- emy was strongly entrenched and the fighting is still going on. Vi- enna admits retirement to "pre- pared positions" which is the ex- pression used in offiical statements to mean that an enemy blow has gained important ground
 After three days of struggling in the mountains, the Italians are still hammering hard at the most power ful and threatening positions of the enemy. TIey have not only gained ground, but have been held despite the counter attacks by the Austro- Hungarian forces, which were mown down by artillery fire and by the Italian infantry.
 Maps of the area in which the fighting is going on do not show some Of the places mentioned in the official dispatches.
 The Italian attack was seemingly planned with care. On the right flank of General Diazs forces is the Brenta river, which affords some protection against flanking attack On the left there are two deep val leys which also lend themselves ad- mirably to the tactics adopted by the Italians
 The British hospital ship Land overy Castle, bound from a Canadian port for England, has been sunk without warning by a German sub marine when seventy miles from land So far only twenty-four of the 258 persons on board have been reported safe. The fate of those who are missing is unknown.
 An official statement issued at Berlin claims that 191454 unwound ed allied prisoners have been cap tured since March 21 Of these 94 ,939 were British, 9.099 were French and the rest were Portugese, Belgian and Americans.
 Six allied generals and 6,2O0 off cers are said to have been taken by the Germans.
 In France there have been local attacks at various points north of the Marne on the west side of the salient driven into the allied lines by the German offensive that was begun May 27 The French have advanced their lines north of the Clignor river once more and have passed the rail- road line running from Chesy to Vinly.
 Further north the French have taken strong positions along ridges to the east of Villers Cotterets forest.
 There have been no unusual en- agreements along the British or American fronts, but there Is q tanseness along the whole line from Ypres to Rheims, and even to the east along the French and American sectors, there is expectation that the breaking of the storm may come at any time
 In front of Amiens this feeling is especially marked. There the Ger mans began great bombardment. but so far as reported have not sent their infantry into action.
 There was intense activity In aerial fighting on Sunday. The French brought down or put out of action 2 German aeroplanes, while the British shot down 22 and drove ten down out of control

coming with peace is going to make
many old political questions acute and
bring with it many new social, eco
nomic and political problems which
must be met and solved, as far as pos
sible by the plain citizens of our
country.
And since in a representative demo-
cracy like ours the will of the people
must be expressed by means of elec-
tions, it is very important that the
voters of our state should, in order to
protect and promote their own well
fare and for the good of the state and
the nation as a whole, make every ef-
fort to provide for the gathering and
dissemination Of truthful information
on all sides of all questions without
being colored or warped by prejudice,
malice or any selfish interest; and to
have our system of elections so re-
vised as to naturally promote great
er interest than ever before in public
affairs, and to provide for minority
representation in all steps incident to
the making of government, and ma
jority vote decisions at all final cleo
|; tions.
AS means to attain these ends, we,
members of the Independent Voters
Association, assembled in public meet
ing, at Cooperstown, North Dakota,
this fifth day of December, A. D. 1918,
do hereby authorize and instruct our
executive committee to cause special
effort to be made to induce public dis
cussion of election laws and systems,
and we appeal to the voters Of North
Dakota to speedily join our movement
in order that the greatest number pos
sible may contribute to and profit by
such public discussion.
Further, inasmuch as that agricul-
ture is the one occupation and indus
try upon which nearly all people in our
state depend for the comforts and ne
cessities of life, we maintain that the
grain growers and livestock produc-
ers should be permanently organized
on substantial basis, and that to at
tain this end we recommand to all
members of the Equity elevators, and
other farmers elevators operating un-
der the cooperative incorporation sta
tute of our state, and distributing pro-
fits as patronage dividends, that they
give careful consideration to propo-
sition to form state federation of all
such elevator companies for the pur-
pose of better protecting and promot-
ing the welfare of the companies and
incidentally the members and patrons
thereof.
We likewise recommend a state fed
Grafton of all cooperative live stock
shipping associations, cooperative
creameries, etc., along the lines that
our farmers mutual insurance COM
panies are now developing state or
ganization among themselves"
Another resolution of significance
which shows that the originators OF
this movement believe in fair play and
are wise in that they adopted name
for their organization which has be-
come widely known though both fav-
