Chas. Miller, champion middle
weight Of South Dakota and Jack
Conley of Omaha, wrestled in the
Michel hall Monday evening be-
fore small crowd. Miller threw
Conley the first time in 80 min
utes with a body scissor hold and
head lock and the second time in
16 minutes with head scissor and
wrist lock. Conley appeared to
be quite strong and quick, but
new at the game and showed very
little experience as compared with
Miller. This match was better
than the first one held here some
time ago.
u. S. Deputy Marshal VIM.
Hickey of Yankton was here in
company of two government a
gents Monday to investigate a cer-
tain matter at the Mennonite CO.
lony. 1t appears that one Patrick
Mcdonald residing at Bon Homme
last Saturday was at the Menno-
mite mill for some flour, and ac-
cording to his story found a small
can with ground glass in one cor
ner of the mill covered with a
sack. Upon questioning he mill
er Joe Waldner, what that meant
and remarking that he would show
the corpus delicti" to Uncle Sam
Patrick claimed that he was attack
ed by the Mennonitcs and had
been struck over the eye with a
2x4 piece of scantling. However,
he managed to make bis getaway
and rode away in his car. Forth
with he went to Tyndall and made
his experience known, ard there
upon states attorney Scoblic, act
ing upon the advice of the FEEDER
al authorities, took charge Of the
mill and closed it until they could
come down and investigate. Dep.
Marshal Hickey with two U. S.
Dept. of Justice men came down
Monday and after a thoro inv esti.
CATION found nothing, aside of the
can with ground glass to base
their prosecution and the matter
was dropped. The Mennopnites or
the other hand claim that they dc
not know how the glass got there
and as far as the attack on Nc.
Donald is concerned, they claim
no attack had been made on him
as at the time no one beside the
miller and Mcdonald were in the
mill. The miller claims that ne
got into an argument over the can
of glass with Mcdonald who
struck him and began to run away
and undoubtedly run into some-
thing The question now to be
answered is: Who placed the can
of ground glass under sack in
the Mennonite mill9 No ground
glass could be detected in the flour
made in the mill and while guess
ing is rampant, the proof of the
pudding and placing the blame is
quite another matter.

Serious Internal Troubles Are
Developing in the Gen.
trail Empires.
WAR MATERIAL SHORT
Field Marshal Won Hlndenburg Boldly
Tells German Leaders Country
Must Have Peace on
Any Terms.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The military
situation IN the western front and in
ternal political conditions in Germany
and possibly in Austria-Hungary as
well are expected to determine the
nature and time of the German reply
to President Wilson's communication,
definitely closing the door to peace ne
gotiations with the German autocracy.
The Presidents note probably already
has reached Berlin through the Swiss
foreign office.
Reports reaching Washington
through official sources by way of neu
trail countries, not only indicated the
existence of almost chaotic conditions
in the Central Empires, but also said
that it was Field Marshal Won linden
burg himself who a responsible for
the German government accepting the
Presidents peace terms and seeking
an immediate armistice.
1t was said that a recent meeting
of the military leaders and the heads
Of the parties in the Reichstag, Won
~Hindenburg boldly declared that Ger
q nus hofC pCaGC OF oiIC Oh ~
best terms she could get. He said the
armies no longer had the necessary
munitions and materials to continue
the struggle nor was there any source
of supply so far as he was aware.
In the light of this situation the field
marshal said he felt the time had
come TO try first for an armistice and
then for peace and he urged that this
could be put in the light of a onces
sion to the demands of the Socialists
and pacifsts in Germany.
Prince Macmillan, the chancellor, is
reported to have strongly opposed
such a course, d%reading a reaction
c~ialists, but imperial approval was
given von Hindenburg's plans and the
request for peace followed.
No indication has been given as to
when replies will be made by Presi-
dent Wilson to the Austrian and
Turkish appeals for peace. 1t is un-
derstood that there Is no ground for
apprehension which has arisen in
Austria that the President would re-
fuse to reply to Premier Burian's APP
peal because of the autocratic char
acter of the Austrian government. 1t
was said that this might web figure
in a final peace proposal, but would
mo- operate to prevent the considera-
ton of an armistice which Austria
seeks.
The same is true of the Turkish APP
peal and, while not officially stated,
it Is believed that the prime reason
for delaying replies to both these APP
plications is to afford time for the
Presidents response to Germany's
peace proffer to filter to the masses
in Austria and Turkey through the
rigorous censorship that exists.

DESERT BATTLE ZONE
Quarter of a Million Refugees
Headed for Holland.
Arrangements Have Been Made to
Give Them Food, Clothing
and Shelter.

Washington, Oct. 17.-About $780,
600 refugees are making their way
from Lille, Roubaix and other Belgian
towns near the front lines to the
Dutch frontier in an effort to escape
into Holland.
Messages received by Chairman
Hoover of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium. said arrangement had been
made for food, clothing and shelter
upon their arrival at the frontier.
Should the Germans in ~retreating
from Belgium seize the internal food
supply, consisting of crops now ready
for harvest and the few remaining cat
tie, the situation, the messages said,
would be serious. To meet such a
possibility the relief commission has
shipped 10000 tons of foodstuffs to
Rotterdam in the last month.

FRANCE WILL SECURE ALSACE
Province of Lorraine Also to Be Taken
From Germany.

Washington, Oct. IL. - President
Wilson's determination that Alsace-
Lorraine be returned to France. semi
officially announced, indicates the
Allies are now definitely agreed on
this point.
One Of the Presidents IA terms
stated that "the wrong to France in
the matter of Alsace-Lorraine should
be righted." The French always ac-
cepted this as meaning the President
favored its restoration, but it has
been clearly set forth that this
was the Presidents purpose until now.

Moose Lake, Mimi, Oct. 17.-Fires
are raging anew in Aitkin, Solana,
Lawler, McGrath, McGregor, Isle and
other towns within a 60-mile radius of
Moose Lake. Famed by a wind of
high velocity the flames are roaring
through pine forests and settlements
previously untouched and indications
are scores more many lose their lives
and their belongings.
Home guards, led by state forestry
officials, are battling desperately
against the rush of fire. Fire fight
ers were driven back a few miles from
Lawler by a solid sheet OF flame four
miles wide. and fire IL miles In width
was steadily advancing on McGrath,
White Pine and Solana, % miles west
of here.
Special Train Brings Guards.
Adjutant General Rhinow, in COM
mand of the Home Guards and mem
bers of the Motor Corps, called out
200 guardsmen from Anoka to fight
the fire at Aitkin, so miles west OF
Moose Lake. They were to arrive on
a special train.
Throughout the territory now threat
ened by the flames conditions much
the same as in the Moose Lake region,
where settlers persisted by the hun
dred, are prevailing. Everywhere are
tiny settlements, with farms thickly
dotting the adjacent country. 1t was
from the farms that the fire on Sat-
urday took its heaviest toll, and the
authorities. using every mean to pre-
vent another tragedy, are considering
calling out the entire National Guard
of the state in an attempt to check
further spread of the blaze.
Adjutant General Rhinow and 100
men i'm autos of the Motor Corps have
gone to Lawler. Two hundred add.
tional guards arrived here in a special
train, and 100 of them are to be sent
to the Lawler region as soon as mo-
tors are available. In n of the first
autos to leave for Lawler was Gov
ernor Burnquist.

Belgian Cavalry Reported Within
Mile of important Railway
Center of Thielt.
10000 ENEMY TAKEN
Allies Now But Eleven Miles South of
Bruges and IS Miles from Client
= -Yanks Strike at Foe
Route of Escape.

Paris, Oct. 17.-British patrols
have entered the southwestern
suburbs of Lille.
British Army Headquarters in
Flanders, Oct. H. Belgian cav
airy was reported to be within a
mile of the important railway CEN
ter of Thielt. That town is only
about IS miles southwest of Client.
London, Oct. 17.-Sweeping steadily
ahead over the lowlands of Belgian
Flanders, the British, French and Bel
gian armies are rapidly bearing away
the extreme right flank of the Ger
man battle line. Twelve thousand
prisoners have been captured in two
days, according to official statements.
This would seem to indicate a victory
of great Importance even if the ground
gained was not vital in the develop
ment of the mighty Allied offensive.
Allied forces have captured Menin
and Wervicq and are acros the Lys
river in the neighborhood of the latter
town. There are unoaicial reports
that Thourout has been taken and the
British are in the outskirts of Court
raj. This completely outflanks Lille
from the north and the Germans prob
ably will be forced out of that city in
a very short time. The Allies are now
about IL miles from Bruges and
% miles from Client. They have ad-
vanced in the neighborhood of seven
miles since early Monday.
Americans Take Dominant Hill.
Fighting their way through a maze
of barbed wire defenses over tangled
lines of trenches, the Americans west
of the Meuse river are slowly but sure
ly cutting their way through the
Kriemhilde line. They have carried
Hill 299, a height which dominates
much of the country west of Romagne,
and have penetrated the second line
of defense in the vicinity of Landres
ct st. Georges.
The battle in this area has been of
a most savage nature and the Germans
are making every effort to hold their
positions. They understand the criti-
cal situation which has developed
there and are pouring fresh troops
into the struggle in the hope that the
American onslaught may be stayed be-
fore it reaches the important railroad
lines in the rear of the German front.
A victory for the Americans in the Ar
gonne sector would decide the fate of
Germany on the western front and
compel a general retreat by the enemy
from the most of the French ground
he still holds.
Huns Put Into New Pocket.
French and Italian troops are NOV
ing more slowly along the line from
the Disc to the Aisne than they did
Sunday, when they wiped out the
greater part of the Laon-La Fere salt
emit. From all accounts it would ap-
pear that the Germans are gradually
amptying the pocket formed when the
Allies broke the lines north of st.
Quentin and along the Aisne at Berry
III Bac.
