tions from the people of Spicer, which
was made and accepted at the recent

an employee Of the League was driven
out of Spicer as an undesirable citi-

cative of a general recovery from the

AS most of these drivers viii be
heading for the circuit of Big West
ern Fairs about this time, the prospect
of securing them at the Willmar meet
is very bright indeed.
One feature of the big afternoons
program will be an exhibition game of
auto Polo by the British and Ameri-
can Auto Polo Teams. The game is
known as real thriller, and is also
known as motor Insanity" This
game will be played on the race track
right below the natural amphitheatre
at the park.
MI. Hankinson also has a contract
with Ruth Law, the great saviatress,
to come to Willmar on that day and
she will do her clever stunts in the
air as part of the afternoons per-
formance.
Six racing events are provided for.
Handsome purses are hung up for
these, and twelve to fifteen entries
are expected. This will make this
Willmar Auto Racing event one Of
the largest events ever staged in the
Northwest.
Mr.. Hankinson visited Willmar on
his way to the North Dakota State
Fair and was so favorably impressed
with our city that he looked up the
fair grounds. After inspecting the
track he got in touch with the Com
mercial Club officials and other citi-
zens with the result that race meet
was scheduled for this city. No ex-
pense will be spared to have the
track placed in shape for these races.
The two end turns of the track will
be thrown up so that fast racing will
be possible.
If the weather man favors the day,
Willmar will see an immense crowd.
These racing events with polo game
| and daring aviation stunts will be far
more rare than big circus, and will
draw the people from far and near.

MUJTINY
AIDS "REDS" TO
MAKE ADVANCE
Bolsheviki Forces Gain Four
teen Miles in Omega Sector
of Archangel Front
By Associated Press.

London, Aug. l. Successes for
the Bolsheviki in the Omega sector
of the Archangel front are reported
in a Soviet official statement sent by
wireless from Moscow. The state
ment declares the Bolsheviki forces
have advanced fourteen miles, aid
ed by mutiny among the allied
troops.
The text of this portion of the
communique reads:
I'VE have advanced IA miles
northward on the Omega. The ad-
vance was preceded by a rising of
white regiments who arrested re-
slsting officers and handed them
over to our side"
The official statement bears date
of July 81, and the rising reported
appears to have been subsequent to
the recent mutiny among the Rus
sian troops on the Archangel front,
reported by the British army au-
thorities.
Unrest in Siberia
The Moscow message also reports
unrest in Siberia. 1t claims that
there is an insurgent front extend
ing from Tashkent in Turkestan to
Nikolayevsk, on the Amur. In the
region of the Amur, it is declared,
the insurgents annihilated a large
detachment of Japanese recently.
In addition, it is asserted that an
important Bolsheviki detachment is
advancing from Northern Siberia
towards Tomsk.

RESUMPTION OF
TRADE FOLLOWS
Soon as Two More Associated
Nations Affix Names Full
Diplomatic and Business
Relations Will Be Started
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. l. - The pro-
tocol to the German peace treaty,
defining explanations of the treaty
agreed to in memorandums eX-
changed between the German and
allied plenipotentiaries was laid be-
fore the Senate to-day by Vice Presi-
dent Marshall. The documents were
transmitted yesterday by President
Wilson, but too late for submission
before to-day.
The protocol was accompanied by
explanatory letters from President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing. The
protocol and the correspondence
were referred to the foreign rela-
tions committee.
1t was made known to-day at the
White House that the protocol to
the peace treaty which was sent to
the Senate late yesterday by the
President, included the agreement
that the German treaty shall come
into force upon its ratification by
three of the associated powers and
Germany. What else was contained
in the protocol, if anything, was not
disclosed.
Great Britain and Germany al
ready have ratified the treaty, and
as soon as it shall have been ap-
proved by two other of the associated
nations it will take effect as far as
those four countries are concerned,
permitting the immediate resump-
ton of full diplomatic and trade re-
lations.
The protocol reached the Senate
yesterday too late to be laid before
that body. 1t may be taken up to-
day in executive session and later
made public.
List of Guilty
Among the provisions in the pro-
tocol is one requiring the German
government to transmit to the Allied
and Associated governments within
one month after the treaty becomes
effective a p.st of persons who are
accused of having committed acts
in violation of the laws and customs
of war.
TO Supervise Destruction of Fort
Another paragraph provides for
the appointment of a commission
to supervise the destruction of the
German fortiiications on Helgoland
treaty.
Provision is also made that pro
ceedinSs may be taken against per-
sons who committed punishable of
fenses in the liquidation of German
property" in the Allied countries
and the protocol says the Allied and
Associated powers will welcome in
formation or evidence the German
government can furnish on this
subject.

Premier Lenine Plans
to Retire After He
Makes Drastic Change
By Associated Press.

Stockholm, Aug. 1.-The Svenska
Dagblat is informed by persons
closely connected with the Russian
Soviet government that Nikolai Len
inc, the premier intends to begin a
dramatic change of policy and then
retire. The condition of his retire.
ment will be that Jean Trotzky, the
Bolsheviki war minister, be left in
command of the red army.
At recently held meetings of the
Soviet commissaries, the newspaper
informants say the question of Civ
ing power into the hands of other
socialistic parties was earnestly dis
cussed, but Lenine declared that the
best way to check reaction, as rep
resented by Admiral Kolchak. head
of the All-Russian government at
Omsk, would be to drop power for a
time in order to prove that no other
party was able to reorganize Russia.
This. Lenine contended, would
strengthen the Bolsheviki and en-
able them to resume power. Len
ines views were shared by George
Tchitcherin, the commissary for
foreign affairs; NJ. Stoutchka, com
missary of justice, and Professor
Padrovski, commissary of the inter-
ior.

Washington, Aug. IA special
committee to consider means of re-
ducing the high cost of living was
at the meeting yesterday
of members of President Wilson's
Cabinet with Attorney General Pal
mer. The committee will compile
suggestions thus far made and re-
port to the Cabinet Monday, when
further steps will be taken.
= One suggestion made Mr.. Pal
mer said, was that the Government
sell this years wheat crop at the
market price. to be determined by
the law of supply and demand, ard
make up the guarantee to the farm
ers out of the billion dollar fund
appropriated by Congress.
No Limit to Food
1t was announced at the War De-
partment that there would be no
limit whatever on the quantity of
foodstuffs to be consigned to mu-
Hicipalities under the new plan of
operation.
1t is generally asserted here that
the report which Homer S. Cum
mings, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, made to PreSi-
dent Wilson upon his return from
a two months survey of the coun-
try, which took him to the Pacific
coast, was in a measure, RESPONSE
BILE for the very determined action
yesterday. Mr.. Cummings, it is
said, told the President that the
high cost of living was on the lips
of the people everywhere and that
steps toward a quick solution should
be taken.
Washington. Aug. No relief
from present high prices is forecast
in the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly review of business condi-
tions, issued to-day which notes
that July saw increases in many
lines.
I'm general" the review said,
there is a disposition to accept pres
ent price lie, els and to expect con-
tinuation of the prevailing level for
some time to come"
In many districts high prices have
not served to check demand, but the
possibility of obtaining goods was
found to be of greater moment to
the buyer thar the price fixed. On
the other hand the Board said, the
every great" price increases which
have taken place in certain ines
have made buyers more cautious,
care being taken not to increase un-
duly stocks acquired at the present
price level for fear a decline might
occur.
Continued high prices, along with
constant growth in trade, both
wholesale and retail, and increased
activity in some of the basic indus
tres sustained confidence in the in
dustrial situation and led to expan-
sion in many lires. Almost the only
complaints heard concern shortage
of raw materials and, in a few dis
tricts, labor troubles, although
majority of the districts report nor
ma labor cond':icns.

ment, which had been expected dur

patient, who has been critically ill
for some time, was effected to-day
by hospital physicians. More than
a pint of blood was transferred from
the veins of the subject to the sick
man, who is said to have but half
the amount needed to sustain life.
Twelve persons were tested of the
27 applicants who offered their blood
at the Harrisburg Hospital for trans
fusion to a patient who was sorely
in need of healthy blood. Harry
Buch, clerk in a local drugstore,
was selected as the man with the
blood best suited to the conditions,
and a quart of it was transferred
from his veins to those of the patti
ent this afternoon. Mr.. Buch is
rather weak, but comfortable. Buch

Mayor Keister's Committee
Says Cost Is Much Too
High
NATTER TO BE DROPPED
Several Reasons Advanced
Why Bacon Will Not
Be Purchased

Harrisburg's Municipal Ford Com
mittee will not buy from the Gov
ernment. This was the decision af-
ter a lengthy meeting held to-day
at the office of Mayor Daniel l..
kiester. Two reasons were advanced
by the committee as follows:
First: The Government prices
were said too high. on a car load of
bacon the price this commodity would
be sold to Harrisburg consumers
would be 3S cents per pound, in 12-
pound cans. The same bacon can be
had in Harrisburg at the same price
retail, sliced and without a rind. If
purchased in 12-pound lots, the prices
at local stores is 35 cents for ba-
con, including the rind. Bacon can
be had for 40 cents a pound in the
whole which is only two cents higher
per pound that the Government
goods. The committee was also in
formed that by buying bacon by the
car load, from any large firm the
price would be still lower.
Secondly: The Government is about
to offer to the people of the United
States foodstuffs by parcel post al
figures to be announced later. For
this reason the request to the loca
