Charlotte Folks Still
Keen for N. D. Soldiers

Fargo, Jan. l0.-Though it is
long time since North Dakota soldiers
were at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C.
folks there still have fine words for
the Flickertail boys, as is indicated
by the following abstract from let
ter just received by Attorney Smith
Stimmel of Fargo from Charles w.
Tillett, a prominent attorney Of Char
lotte.
The letter aside from personal
matters, reads as follows:
"1t would almost be worth a trip
for your people to come and listen to
our people talk about the boys from
the northwest. We were simply wild
with them, and could hardly have
been more distressed when they left
if they had been our own flesh and
blood. After they left US hundreds
of letters were received from them,
and, in fact, we have heard it said
that the people of the northwest were
somewhat jealous Of Charlotte, be-
cause after leaving here, the boys
wrote more letters to Charlotte than
they did to their home folks. Your
boys were so 'folksy' You could go
out on the street and pick up a cou-
pie of them and take them into your
home, with positive assurance that
you not only mad a couple of gentle
men,, but very interesting gentle
men,

Suffrage lsfor Right and Justice

Washington, Jan. 9.-Republicans
night, adopted by unanimous vote a
resolution urging republican members
to support the federal suffrage
amendment insofar as they can do
so consistently with their conscience
and the attitude of their constituents. :"
The resolution, introduced by Rep
resentative Mondell of Wyoming, was
filibustered against for more than an
hour on a pciEt of no quorum, but
the opposition was confined to a few
members and they voted for it's adop-
ton on the roll call.
President Wilson tonight threw his
support to tie federal amendment for
woman suffrage.
On the eve Of vote on suffrage
in the hcUsc, II democratic members
called At the White House with word
that many CT their colleagues wanted

this statement, dictated by the pres

The committee found that the
president had not felt at liberty to
volunteer his advice to members of

when we sought his advice he very
frankly and earnestly advised us to
vote for the amendment as an act of
right and justice to the women of the
: country and Of the world"

Will Gut Coal
Supply Early

Washington, Jan. 13.-Curtailment
of coal to the less essential indus
tries in eastern cities as a means of
relieving the fuel famine, will be be-
gun early this week. Reports today
to the fuel administration told of con-
tinued widespread suffering in New
York, Philadelphia and other cities.
Apportionment Of coal will be left
largely to federal fuel administrators
in the states in which supplies are
short. They will work under general
instructions from Fuel Administrator
Garfield to supply first householders
and next industries producing war
materials: Many industries whose
products are not necessary for waking
the war will be subordinated in their
fuel supply to relieve others until the
fuel crisis is over.
The shortage has become so general
throughout the east that DR.. Garfield
has decided specific instructions con-
cerning distribution must be issued.
Production Of bituminous coal in
the first week Of January returned al
most to the level of early December
before the severe weather began to
impede operations.

War Review Is Barren
Of Any Battle Report

Washington, Jan. 14.-Only minor
developments at the battle fronts are
recorded in the weekly review of MI
itary operations made public tonight
by the war department. Wintry Wea
ther is interfering with operations in
Italy, France and Flanders, and in
Russia the military situation is over
shadowed by peace negotiations from
which the review says no conclusions
can safely be drawn.
OF the American forces in France
the department announces that their
preparation for the ordeal Of battle IS
being steadily pursued and that Gen
eral Pershing reports their health and
fighting spirit extremely good.
General improvements in health and
equipment conditions in training
camps at home is reported. and the de-
partment says that spite of abnormal
cold the camps have been adequately
heated and soldiers have had a suftl-
cent supply of blankets for their COM
fort.
''On the active fronts in the west
and in Italy, the equilibrium Of battle
has been maintained" says the re.
view.
Massed Near Cambrai
During the period under review, the
enemy has concentrated his attacks
against the British in the region north
of the Cambria area and in the Ypres
salient, and by continuous harassing
fire and minor offensive thrusts en-
deavored to mask tactical -readjust
ments and new dispositions of units
"Owing to the intensely cold wealth.
er which has prevailed along the en-
tire western front, operations have
been impeded.
Austrians On West
"The Identification of Austrian
units along the western front is of in
,terest For some time past, we havee
been receiving information to the ef-
feet that Austrian howitzers which had
been participating in the offensive in
Italy were being detached from the It.
allan front and transported to the
west.
In spite of unfavorable atmospheric
cond. .tions, French and British aviators
were very busy along the whole front,
and brought down number Of hostile
planes Air raids into the interior Of
Germany were crowned with success.

Barnes County Farmers
Mutual Insurance Go.
Holds Annual Meeting

On Tuesday, January 9th, 1918, the
board of directors OF the Barnes
County Farmers Mutual Insurance
Company held its regular stated meet
ing for the purpose Of auditing the af-
fairs Of the company for the past
year, there being present a fair at
tendance of the directors. ..
Secretary w. w. Smiths annual re-
port disclosed that during the past
year twenty loss claims were filed,
adjusted and paid, entailing a pay
ment Of $7,454.44, and that after pay
ing bills approved the cash balance on
hand December 31st, 1917, was
$1,099.S9. r
During 1917 the company issued
1856 policies and wrote up insurance
for the. year totaling, $626,395.OO, or
over one half million dollars. The to-
tai insurance in force after deduct
ing cancelled and expired policies up
to December 31st, 1917, is s2,92o,-
O5465, or nearly three million dollars,
which is a very gratifying showing
for Barnes county, when it is consider
ed how many insurance companies
are doing business along farm insur-
ance lines, and the opposition mani
tested by the representatives of other
companies, to the farmers mutuals..
At this meeting the matter of levy
ing an assessment was informally dis
cussed but action was deferred until
the annual meeting to be held in June,
1918, at which time levying of assess
ment during October, 1918, would be
acted upon, and it will likely be de-
cided that small assessment will be
ordered.

COSTLY FIRE IN BIG

of army supplies including $1,00O,O0O
worth Of food was destroyed, the
quartermaster warehouse ruined and
several other buildings damaged by
a fire today at the Washington bar
racks occupied by engineer troops.
A large part of the city's fire ap-
paratus was called upon to fight the
flames which were given impetus by
the explosion of quantity of gaso-
line stored in one part of the big
warehouse.
After hard fight Of an hour and a

People Mu, ISave 90,000,OOO
Bushels d the Wheat Left Here

Washington, Jan. 10.-The food sit
uation in Europe is regarded here as
so critical that the food adminlstra-
ton is planning to release an addl-
tional 90,0OO,000 bushels Of wheat des-
pite the fact that the normal export
surplus had been shipped by the mid
die of December. The American ,peo-
ple will be asked to save to make up
the deficiency.
The demand from the allies is so
insistent that the food administration
has decided to take chance on a
shortage in the spring to meet in
mart their needs. If consumption is
not reduced, officials see possible
shortage of -four in the United States
in Nav before the new wheat crop
comes in in June.
Food administration officials are
seriously considering asking con-
gress for legislation to enforce
Whestless days and are taking up
with millers and bakers the subject
of mixed flours and the baking or
war bread.
Representative Lever, author OF
the food control bill, is drawing
legislation now to make wheatless
days compulsory and the food ad-
ministration, it is understood, has
given it's approval to the new meas
ures.
Although the inter-allied confer
ence, at Paris, agreed to turn over
ships for the transportation OF
American troops, food conditions have
reached such a state that many Of
ficials are of the opinion the allies
may at present prefer focdstutfs.
A determination of the balance
between food and troop shipments
will be left by the American govern
ment largely to the allies them
selves. 81

.Solons Assure Frazier
They Will Be Brief

Bismarck, Jan. 14.-In answer to
letters sent out to members OF the leg
islative assembly announcing the call
Of special session Of the legislature
for January 20 to provide for emer-
gency legislation to relieve the seed
and feed situation in the state, Gov
ernor Lynn J. Frazier received replies
from no less than dozen sOlOns to-
day expressing their willingness to
conine their legislative efforts strictly
to war measures with view to limit
ing the session to two or three days.
Governor Frazier is strong of the
opinion that all Of the necessary legis-
lation can be enacted in time for ad-
journment on Saturday, the same week
as the session Convenes, and it was
with this object in view thathe address
sed a letter to the members of the as
sembly last week asking their cooper
alton in keeping the session as short
as possible.
May Approve Act
The chief executive also received
many letters approving his act in cal
ling the legislature into extraordinary
session from all parts of the state, the
general opinion prevailing that the
seed and feed situation can be greatly
relieved by such course. Others cal
led upon Governor Frazier in person
today to express their approval of the
extra session. Among the latter was
Dorr H. Carroll of Minot, chairman ofe
the state council of defense, who has
just returned from Washington where
he went in answer to call from Sec
retary of War Baker relative to the
coordination OF all patriotic work in
the state.
While at the national capital Mr..
Carroll was also active in support of
Congressman John NJ. Baer's b.l pro-
viding for an appropriation of $780,
100000 to give financial aid to the
farmers of the nation during the seed
ing period. Altho Mr.. Carroll would
not predict defeat for the Baer meas
ure, he felt confident that its passage
could not be expected in time to be of
any assistance to the farmers this
spring.
