VASHBURN SCHOOLS
Are CLOSED AGAIN
BOARD MAY POSTPONE OPENING
OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNTIL
FIRST OF YEAR

The Washburn schools were closed
again last Monday, 20 remain so for
al least two weeks. If they are not
opened week from next Monday, the
board undoubtedly will be com.
PEELED to postpone the opening until
the first of the new year.
On account of the early opening, and
putting in last week, the Washburn
schools have had two months of school,
IN comparison with other schools,
which did not open until late, and their
closing has been OF ,onger duration,
Washburn so far has been fortunate.
1t looks as though many of the
schools will have to continue sessions
throughout next summer, in order not
to lose a whole school year. while If
Washburn can open soon, there will
not be need of much of an extended
session. The school should be able to
get through some time in June. 1T is
to be hoped that the epidemic will have
through some time in June. 1T is to
be hoped that the epidemic will have
run its course, In a few weeks,G said
President Martin Holtan of the school
board. THE schoo1 patrons must be
prepared for that eventuality and as
soon as it occurs, send their children
to school. 1t would be great loss to
many of the youngsters, If they should
lose a whole school years work. Yet
that can happen, if we don't cooper
ate in every possible way.
"Of course, the health of our young
sters is the main thing. But neither
must we let them neglect their educa-
ton. These are times that demand
closer cooperation in the community
than ever"
The attendance at the school last
week was less than half of the enroll
ment. Only few of the children were
ill, quite number were kept home be-
cause there was illness in the family,
while the greater percentage were
kept home because their parents felt
there was less risk of contagion that
way.

LOAD OF COAL COMES
INTO TOWN HURRlEDLY

A team was in such hurry to de.
liver a.load of coal Wednesday morn
ing, it came in on gallop, without
the driver. When Rienhold Grosz saw
them crossing the coulee, he said:
"They may know where to 60 but
fear they are headed for Bismarck, at
the present going" .
Mounted on his trusty steed, he
; 1eapt for the flying reins. But they
evaded his grasp. The run-aways
gave word to another team, with the
driver inside the store, to come along.
When the cavalcade passed the Lead
Ell office; the clatter was too much and
tie whole force quit, to take in the
steht.
:. sThere she goes;;" gleefully shouted
thprinter'o devil. j.,
SasShe" was the standard, in the
Square" The coal haulers evidently
:: couldn't read. They sent the "Keep to
the Right" sign flying. This probably
was cutting up too much, thought the
town horses, and they stopped near
the hotel. - :-..,..- -.
The coal wagon might still be on the
run, il Reinhold hadn't kept up the
chase: He got the run-aways under
CONTROL, after. spirited display OF

WILLIAM G. McADOO RESIGNS
FROM WILSON'S CABINET

Washington, D. c., Nov. William
G. McAdoo, son-in-law of President
Wilson, has rendered his resignation
Las secretary Of the treasury and di-
rector general of the railroads, to take
effect January /. The President has a.
ccepted the resignation.
Mr.. McAdoo says he is resigning to
recuperate his private fortune, which
has been depleted by the heavy ex-
penses in Washington; also, his heavy
duties have been a strain on him, men
tally and physically. While McAdoo
asserts these are all the reasons that
prompt him in resigning from the cabi-
net, it is reported that he is forced
out because he is not in sympathy
with the radical element now running
that body.
The job of running the railroads
dui ing the war has been an arduous
the but Mr.. McAdoo did it ably. Witt
tr:e ending Of the war, it is expected
there will be big fight to return the
railroads to its former managers. A
weak euccessor to Mr.. McAdoo would
Bring that about sooner than anythin,,
else.

GERnANYS NAVAL POWER ENDS
IN VICTORIOUS SURRENDER T0ALLIES
Mighty Fleet is Turned Over according to
The. Schedule--Proceeding Resembles
Peace neutrality-suspicious. Are Hardly
Able to Realize The Importance Of En-
emy's Downfall

Edinburg, Nov. 28.-Germany as a
naval power has ceased to exist. The
heart Of her mighty fleet, IA ships OF
line, seven light cruisers and so des.
troyers, surrendered TO an armada of
British, American and French vessels,
the greatest fighting force that ever
stood out to sea-
The minutely detailed program of
submission was carried out according
ito plan. The German warships strung
out in line almost 20 miles long, ap-
peared at the rendezvous at the ap-
pointed time and were escorted into
the Firth of Forth between double
line of allied vessels.
Although the wonderful naval spec
tacle was the same as a peace time
review, and evoked little enthusiasm,
the haze blotting out the horizon,
American and British officers could
hardly credit the evidence of their
eyes.
Men animated by the spirit of Law
rence's Don't give up the ship" and
Nelson's "England expects every man
to do his duty" could not conceive of
such an inglorious ending as that to
which the enemy fleet was committed
An Associated Press representative
heard an Office standing on the deck
of an American superdreadnaught say:
"Even the poor old Spaniards, knowing
they had no chance, came out of Santi-
ago."
For the most part officers and men
were silent in the midst of the clim-
actic event in history, which Amer
leans realized, left America the second
greatest sea-power They seemed to
feel a sort of contemptuous pity for
the fallen giant of the sea who had
refused to fight.
The German ships were sighted by
the allied column at s:2o O'Clock, fol.
lowing their British pilot, the light
cruiser Cardiff, which, with destroy,
ers and other small craft had ranged
ahead Of the. allied fleet. The enemy

Cost of Living More Than
Doubles Durin4 The War

On basis of family budgets divided
under five heads-food, shelter, cloth,
ing, fuel and light, and sundries-the
National Industrial conference Board,
after a countrywide survey, recently
published it's conclusions for the four
years period, July, 1914-June, 1918.
Taking into consideration all of the
factors in the problem, it says "the
evidence points strongly to the con-
clusion that for the great majority of
American communities the average in
crease for the period lies between so
and IS per cent" Clothing showed
the most marked advance-77 per
ccnt-but quantitatively this was less
important than the 62 per cent in
crease in the cost of food, "since food
represents about 43 per cent of the
average expenditure while clothing
represents only 13 p-t cent

NORTH DAKOTA HERDS
START ON WINTER WELL

Unusually mild fall weather, coupled
with an absence of snow in the great.
er part Of the state, brings North
Dakota herds into early winter in very
favorable condition, says DR.. w. F.
Crewe, secretary of the North Dakota
live stock sanitary board. Except in
scattering sections where the drouth
was so severe last summer that there
was no grass, cattle are finding an a

studiously complied with Admiral
Beatty's orders, and it was we'll for
their own sakes that they did. Every
vessel that steamed out to meet them
flOated a battle ensign and was ready
for immediate battle, with all men and
officers at ther stations.
Five American battleships, the New
York, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Florida, were ready to fire every bat
terry upon word from Admiral Rodman
There is not the slightest possibil-
hy of any trouble, but we are over
looking no chances" said Admiral
Rodman.
The fleet began to weigh anchor at
l o'clock this morning. The Amer
ican vessels fell into line behind Ad-
miral Batty's craft. The rendezvous
was fifty miles distant, and the ships
gagged their speed to arrive at the ap-
pointed place at o'clock. On the
bridges the ships companies were hid
den behind bulwarks of steel. When
dawn broke the sea was again covered
with a blanket of mist. Eyes training
through the murky haze were at last
rewarded. OFF the starboard bow the
Cardiff, sailing an observation kite
balloon, came steaming in. Behind her
came the German vessel Seydilitz. Af-
ter her came four others of the same
type, the Dersslinger, Won der Tan,
Hindenburg and Moltke.
Immediately following them were
nine dreadnaughts, the Frederick der
Crosse, flagship of Rear Admiral Won
Reuter-, the Koenig. ALBERT, Kaiser,
Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kaiserin, bayern,
Markgras, Prinz Regent Luitpold and
the Grosser Kerfurst.
Three miles to the stern of the. bat
t)ehips came seven light cruisers, the
Karlsruhe, bearing the ensign of Com

Bremen. ,..,,... ....- !, 49,

PROHIBITION BILL is
SIGNED BY WILSON

Washington, Nov. 28.-Pdesident
Wilson has signed the emergency
agricultural appropriation bill with
its legislative rider providing for ma
tional prohibition from next July
until the American army is demobil-
lied.
Unless the presidential proclama-
tion under the Food Control act is
rescinded, the prohibition amendment
will effect only the manufacture of
wine, for the brewing of all beer must
cease December l under the Presid-
ent's proclamation
The manufacture of whisky was
stopped soon after the nation entered
the war.
Under the amendment the manu-
facture of wine will cease next May l,
and, should brewing of beer be allowed
to continue after December 1, it also
would stop May under the new law.
After next June 80 no intoxicating
liquors of any kinds may be sold in
this country for beverage purposes
except for export, until such time as
the President by proclamation declares
rehabilitation completed.
The amendment also prohibits the
importation Of any Intoxicating bev-
erages into this country from the
time the bill is approved by the Presi-
dent until the rehabilitation Of the
army is completed, probably for about
two years.

WHO STARTED THE WAR;
OUR GUESS WAS RIGHT

Official reports published at
Munich, Bavaria, show that the
world war was deliberately be-
gun by Germany and Austria.
Count Won Lercheld, the Bavar-
tian minister at Berlin, in his re-
ports to the home government
tells that the terms Of Austria's
ultimatum were so severe, war
was bound to follow. "An attack
on France is possible only
through Belgium" he declared on
July 18, 1914.
