Urges the Need
Of Commission
To Visit Russia

Washington, July 17.-Appoint-
ment Of an American commission
to make a thorough investigation Of
actual conditions in Russia, was
strongly urged on President Wilson
today in a letter from Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. chairman OF
the senate foreign relations commit
tee. The question of military inter-
vention in Russia was not discussed
in Senator H:tchcock's letter.
The American committee was pro-
posed by the senate committee
chairman because of what he said
are conflicting reports regarding
military, political and social condt-
tons in Russia. His opinion to the
President was that it is most desir-
able, as soon as possible, to learn
the actual conditions in Russia in
all phases.
Views Of many Russians and also
Americans returning from Russia
regarding solutions and sentiment Of
the Russian people were cited to the
President as evidence of the wide
disparity, of opinion existing. A
strong commission of prominent
Americans, of sound judgment and
discretion, Senator Hitchcock ad-
vised the President, would be OF
value to this country in determining
its future course.

LANCER HASN'T
YET GIVEN RULING
ON LEAGUE PLAN

Bismarck, N. D., July 17-secre-
tary OF State Hall now is preparing
copy for ten constitutional amend
nents which will go on the ballot for
the general election In the fall. The
most important Of these is an
amendment to the present state hail
insurance act which would permit
the legislature to levy general land
tax for the creation Of an insurance
fund from which all hail losses
would be paid. The secretary Of
state has not to date made any pro-
vision for placing on the ballot the
ten constitutional amendments which
the league initiated last spring to
enable the Nonpartisans to carry
out their program Of state ownership
and to admit Of the investment Of
state funds in any private enter
prise which the administration may
favor. The secretary Of state act
preme court in, the capital removal
case, has declined to act pending the
receipt OF an opinion from the at
forney-general. The supreme court
in the removal case held that the
initiatory feature of the initiative,
referendum and recall amendment to
the state constitution is not self-op~
erative, in that it provides no ma
chinery through which matters in
ttiated may be placed on the bal
lot. Secretary of State Hall called
the attention Of Attorney General
LANCER to this decision some time
ago, when he asked for an opinion
which has not yet been given.
It Is possible that the league will
accept defeat on this point and
that it will rely upon its ability to
elect a majority Of both, houses this
fall, and at the next general as
sembly will legislate a. new constitu-
ton, as It endeavored to do at the
last session. -s....

en- Twin City Banks and
Trust Companies

e., St. Paul, July 17.-(Specia).-st.
Paul and Minneapolis bank and
trust companies are Withdrawing
from North Dakota on account Of
hostile legislation. The Federal land
bank is proceeding with the greatest
caution. and is requiring surety
bonds with every loan that 1t makes.
The two things that have scared
financial men away from the state
is the proposed tax on all mortgages
held by people outside Of the state,
and the extension Of the moratorium
now applying to chattel mortgages.
Bankers say they are willing to
stand back of North Dakota in face
Of short crops since 1915, but they
will not lend money where absurd
is enacted.
1t is REPORTED that the moratorium
declared by the state council Of de-
Tense, composed Of Nonpartisan
league appointees. will be. extended
to other obligations beside chattel
mortgages.
Officers of the Federal land bank
have made a complete survey of
North Dakota, in order to determine
it's future policy in that state.

Is Title GiUen Present
AttQckby French Writer

It was the right wing Of the Ger
mans which achieved the only gain,
which was tactical one merely and
was won more by luck than by good
management.
The converging attack of the Ger
mans was smashed by the brilliant
leadership. of General H. J. E.
Gouraud, who, according to Henri
Bidou, military critic of The Journal
Des Debats, leaving his first lines
lightly held and putting the line of
resistance we'll to the rear, allowed
the German blow to expend itself
on empty space. After this false
stroke the enemy was obliged to
cross a deadly zone, where he was
shot to pieces before reaching the
real French line. The French losses
were quite insignificant.

been a serious failure for the Ger

Chalons, against which he directed
a converging attack from the north

northwest by way of the Prunay Sec
tor. The action on his right was
