SCHOOL
is REOPENING

Washburn, n. D., Nov. 19.--After
being closed month, the Washburn
schools were reopened on Monday.
This probably is the first town school
in Mclean county to be reopened, and
the prospects are that some Of them
will remain closed until December.
The Washburn school board has tax
Ell extra precautions to guard the
health Of the pupils. Any child show
ing a sign Of cold is sent home until
the physician ascertains if it is q case
Of the influenza. No pupil is allowed
to enter school where there is a case
in the family where he or she belongs.
These rules, of course, keep down at
tendance, but the board feels the best
interests Of the public are thus served.
= Washburn is thankful there have
not been any serious cases yet, and the
attacks are becoming milder.

ORPHAN WAIF'

Career of Andrew Horace Burke
Might Have Been Plot for
IN Optic Tale

The life of Andrew H. Burke, for
mer governor of North Dakota, whose
death at Roswell, n. NJ, was announc-
ed in Mondays Associated Press dis
patches, might form the plot for one Of
the Oliver Optic do or Die" series.
Born in New York city in 1850; left
an orphan at the age of four; held
until nine as a ward Of the Children's
Al society at Reynolds island, whence
he was farmed out to well-to-do
country family near Noblesville, Ind. !;
enlisting in his early teens as drum
mer boy with an Indiana regiment in
the Civil Var; returning, still waif,
at the end of that conflict to the only
home he knew, where he emulated the
boyhood of Lincoln, by toiling through
the long hours Of the day and study
ing by candle-light at night, young
Burke finally worked his way through
Asbury college now DePauw univer-
sity. and in 1880, still a young man.
followed Greeley's advice and came
west to grow up with the country. ="
Burke located at Casselton, in Cass
county, first as bOokkeeper in a cOun-
try store. Two years later he became
cashier in the First National bank Of
Casselton, and in 1884 he was elected
treasurer Of Cass county, in which
position he served for three years. In
1890 he was the unanimous nominee
of the republican party for the gov
ernor Of the state of North Dakota
which was created in 1889, and he was
elected by big majority. Ten years
before he had entered the territory
of North Dakota with $50 and his
young wife, formerly Miss Carrie F.
Cleveland of Minnesota, whom he had
just wed, as his sole assets. He en-
tered the office Of governor wealthy
man as riches went in those days, and
his administration was an exemplary
one.
The former governor was {, 2Srd

ell Of the Episcopal church and for

WORLDS DEMAND FOR FOOD, RAW VI
WILL EXCEED LY-VANDERLIP
BY FRANK a. VANDERBILT.
President of the National City Bank,
New York,

written for the N. ,E. Al
The first great trade influence that
we are likely to see Immediately is al
insistent demand for food, for raw
materials and for certain manufacture
edcts from abroad.
That demand will be so insistent,
that it must be met. 1t will not be
congned to the belligerent countries,
for the war has dislocated cOlhlnerce
the world over.
If we are to sell to other nations
great amounts of our products, raw
materials and manufactures, the ques-
ton must at once arise, in view Of eX-
listing international financial positions,
as to how other nations are to pay for
what they need. Whatever Is bought
must in some way be paid fo-. lhis
must either be by the sale OF gools
to us, by the export Of gold tous, or
by floating with us In some form.
credit obligations. They cannot at
once provide goods in sufficient amount
to pay for what they need from us.
Certainly they have not the gold to
ship, and we ought not to demand it.
That leaves the inevitable conclusion
that we must absorb foreign credit
obligations in payment for large part
of our exports.
NEW INVESTMENTS.
Our ability to develop great for
eign trade depends on the willingness
Of the country to absorb more foreign
securities. One thing the war has
shown lis is that we greatly underes-
timated the strength Of our financial
position. Our savings, our ability to
make new Investments, jumped from
six and one-half billions year to Il
total this year Of IS billions.
Our capacity to save is SO great that
it seems clear that we can probably
revote n very large amount of our say
ings to investment in foreign securi-
ties. l believe that the total is not
less than three billions year. The
banks and the investment houses have
Il great role to play in wisely selecting
foreign Investments and intelligently
popularizing them with our investors.
The financial change in the position
Of the United States brought about by
the war is one Of its most significant
results. In the period from the wars
outbreak to the time that we ourselves
entered the struggle, this country
bought back Of our own securities held
abroad about two and one-half billions.
1t purchased the obligations Of foreign
governments, to q total Of some So
4OO, ,OO0, GEO. iand now since our entry,
our government has loaned our asso-
ciates over seven and one-half millions.
This, with the increase Of foreign bank
credits, makes total change In our
situation measured by about twelve
and one-half billion dollars.
The highest estimate of the amount
Of foreign investment in this country,
Of which. l know. placed the total at
FIVE and one-half billions, We have
now paid off that debt, and viewing
our, position internationally, have sew
en- billions more to our credit. ~,
...y GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE.
We are facing time when there is
going to be the greatest need for the
wisest governmental attitude toward
business and toward this whole subject
of reconstruction. Are we to continue

GREAT SCARCITY OF FOOD
(By Associated Press.

Geneva, (Monday) Nov. 1S.-The sit
uation in Vienna appears to be more
talk than anything, but there appears
to be scarcity and great need Of
bread. gasGA
The former royal family has been
unable to obtain any meat, milk, or
bread in the neighboring villages, and
have been unable to get their washing
done. "'4.
Some disorders have occurred in
Prague, the Bohemian capital, rs the
result Of an. attempt to induct the
former soldiers Into national guard
There are also reports that Jews have
been assassinated in Bohemia.
Wherever the correspondent passed
on his way to Vienna he encountered no
difficulties and saw no disorders along
the railroad. A few men he saw had
been killed. An order was issued today
that soldiers, found in possession Of
stolen property will be shot unless re-
turned before November 20.
The formation of new republic
here has been apparently an easy t2sk.
There has been no bloodshed in
Vienna.
Order is being maintained by Field
Marshal Adolf Won Boog, who has re-
organized the old police force. a ma
tional army militia also has been form
ed. In each municipal district there
Is a force Of guards who wear the So
cilaistic red brassards.
One Of the most notable political
changes has been the granting Of equal
franchises to women. In the republic
all the forms Of the old empire have
been done away with.

HEADQUARTERSHAD ! HARD TIME TRYING ! STAY WITH TROOPS
Moved From One Shell Hole to Another, As Fighters Push Huns Across
 Vesle River

With the American Army in France August S-(Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press) )-The headquarters of the units of the American army in the Marne sector had to hustle to keep-Sup with the American troops in the fighting when the Germans were hurled out of that salient and across the Vesle river.
 In keeping contact with the enemy the American headquarters moved from one shell torn village to another. In most instances, the buildings or parts or buildings, had been occupied by German officers only a day or two before.
 Previous to moving from one town to another telephone wires had been strung
 or laid so that, while the divisional of ficers were in the actual process or nov ing, the two headquarters in the two villages were in communication With each other until the task was completed.
 After the telephone. and possibly teie- graph instruments, had been installed the commanding officer would go for ward intthe advanced station with few assistants and then others would fol- low in relays, each department brlnglns | it's books and papers, maps ana othei
