The original price paid for the fish was five pice (about three cents), and it was eventually decided to have it preserved. For this purpose it was taken to the government laboratory where it was treated with formaline. It has since been placed on public ex- hibition.

DIVING SHELL
DEATH TO SUBS

Washingtony Jan. 22.The mon
ricochet" shell. weapon as deadly
as the depth charge, is the newest
device perfected by the navy ord
nance experts for use against the
German submarine, S.5s9
The new shell dives when it strikes
the surface Of the water instead Of
bouncing as do ordinary missiles
used In either naval or coast sdefen-
siye artillery. The value Of the latest
anti-submarine device lies in the fact
that shots which fall slightly short
will be Of as much effect as those
which register direct hits. Pursuing
Its course beneath the water, the
shell will explode against thesside Of
the sub. The navy department has
forbidden the publication Of the In
vention, but It Is known British. and,

WORkMEN RETURN.

Vienna, Jan. 23.The newspapers
of Vienna re-appeared today and
workmen in the, factories resumed
work.
With more than 100000 work
ers onestrike and widespread disor-
ders in Austria and Hungary, the
situation in the dual monarchy is
beclouded. The censorship has stiff
fed all news. The German censor
ship also has prohibited German
newspapers from telling Of the situa-
tion in Austria.
f Efforts of the Austrian statesmen
to quiet the hungry people in their
demand for peace apparently failed of
their purpose and the censorship
which permitted the promises of the
governments spokesmen to reach
the outside world again has resumed
its vigor. The trouble is said to be
deep-seated and is a mixture of war
weariness, hunger and anti-German-
ism.
Little news has come from Ger
many on the political situation there,
but it is indicated that the Austrian
emperor is not unmindful that the
trouble in his own land may force
Emperor William to change his atti-
.tude toward the Russian peace nego-
tiations. It is reported that further
pan-German attempts to hold meet
ings in Germany have been broken
up by peace adherents.
The refusal on the part of Ger
many to give guarantee of the evac-,
uation Of coupled territories is en-
phasized in a long statement dealing
with the peace negotiations at Brest
Litovsk isued, through the bolshe-
Wiki telegraph agency.
Fighting Fronts Inactive.
On the fighting fronts, the situa-
tion is unchanged. Small raids and
spirited artillery actions at various
points are the only activities on the
western and Italian fronts. In Al

fBy the associated PRESS,

London, Jan. 23.A long state
ment dealing with the Brest Litovsk
negotiations issued through the boil
sheviki telegraph agency at Petro-
grad emphasize the absolute German
refusal to give any sort Of guarantee
of evacuationrof occupied territories.
In such circumstances" the state
ment says, ''the words 'self-deter-
mination' sound like a mockery of the
principles and the people concerned"
The statement then asks what OBJ.
ject the Austro-G German imperialists
had on December 25 in recognizing
the principle of democratic peace.
and answers:
"The same object as was followed
by Wilson, Lloyd George and other
imperialists in exhibiting their demo-
cratic program and throwing hui
manity under the complete domina-
tion Of capital
After q wordy speculation as to
what prompted the Germans to take
the course they took in the negotia-
tions, the statement continues:
"The revolution cannot live in an
atmosphere of deceit and falsehood.
The revolution may not at a given
moment be in position to repudiate
the annexationists, but it will not
humiliate itself to call black white
and will not cover up brutal annex
ationists' pretentions with the fig
leaf Of democracy.
"The significance of the Brest
Litovsk pourparlers are that they
stripped from German imperialism
it's false coats temporarily borrowed
from the democratic wardrobe and
exposed the cruel reality OF annex. !.
ationism Of owners and capitalists.
There is nothing more to be demand
ed from the p6urparlers."'

THREE KILLED IN ACTION
tBy the ASSOCIATE d Press,

i ~ j.
Washington. Jan. 23.-General
Pershing today reported three Amer.
ican infantrymen killed in action on
January 21. He gave no details OF
the engagement. The dead are:
PRIVATE ALFRED COOK, New
York.
HARRY V. GARMAN, Virginia.
LEO e. RADI, Cleveland, Ohio.
Eight other deaths of private sol
diers, not in action were also report
by General Pershing.
These are the first reports of men
killed In action In more than two
months. In the opinion Of army Of
ficers here the appearance Of KILLED
in action" in the reports does not
necessarily mean that American bat
talions have returned to front line
trenches for further training after
an absence of some weeks, but that
is the Interpretation being generally
placed on the news.
For military reasons the war de-
partment declined today to say
whether a definite sector had been
taken over by the Americans. :;
Casualties resulting from partici-
patton by an American company in a
accommodating party conducted by
French troops or from chance hits by
enemy artillery among party of
dispatch riders, would all be report
ed under the head Of t'killed in ac-
tion."

Gentlemen of the Fifteenth Legis-
lature in Extraordinary Session
Assembled:
Since the adjournment of the reg
ular session, conditions have develop
ed which are unparalleled in the his
tory of our country. We are in the
greatest worlds struggle and our
government is making the most ex-
tensive and most costly preparation
ever known in the worlds history for
the successful prosecution of this
war. International law and treaties
must be kept sacred. All nations of
the world must 3be protected against
future wars by the establishment Of
democratic form of government that
will truly be bys for ands of the peo-
pie. Autocracy, plutocracy and mill
tarism must be put down. The Unit
ed States is in this war for principle,
justice and democracy. And the
great problem ofsthe American people
today, is to win the war as soon as
possible. All resources of the nation
are pledged for that purpose. The
people of North Dakota are doing
their part and the state must CO.
operate with the. nation in order that
the best results may sbe attained.
Many of our boys are now on the
battle front more are in
training camps, and still more are
ready to go. These boys are making
the supreme sacrifice, and it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to back
our army in every way possible in
order that they may accomplish the
desired results as quickly as possible.
And the best support we can give
them is Insignificant when compared
with the sacrifice that they are max
ing for us.
Food Production.
One. thing that is absolutely nee
essary in order to win the war, is to
have sufficient supply of food pro-
uuCIS. Auu ILLS udLAOA 40 AOOhAA6 W
North Dakota asa great agricultural
state to do her share towards fur
nishing this supply. Our people are
willing to do all in their power, but
owing to poor crops in parts of the
state, 1t is impossible under the pres
ent laws to procure sufficient seed
and feed to insure good crop acre
age for next spring.
Seed Bonding Law.
The principal object in calling this
special session was to amend the
County Seed bonding law to make it
meet the present needs. The amount
of seed and feed to each farmer
should be raised so that all avail.
able land may be put int o
crop. Further provision should also
be made to protect the county against
loss of payments. And provision
should be made that where necessity
demands, feed may be provided as
soon as possible.
