CAPITULATION DOUBTED

London, Oct. 17.-The march of
General Yudenitch at the head of the
northwestern army on the city Of
Petrograd was still progressing favor
ably at the latest advices. Some re-
ports Of his advance, however, have ap-
parently outrun his actual progress.
There appeared, for instance, some
Goubt today whether the fortress OF
Kronstadt, outpost at the water ap-
proach to Petrograd, had capitulated
to British naval forces, as indicated in
reports during the night The British
admiralty has received no confrma-
tory advices, and the accuracy of the
news was questioned in admiralty cir.

at the state department today from the
American consular officer in Sweden

CAPTURE IS IN DOUBT
London, Oct. 17.-Dispatches from
Scandinavia have announced the cap
tire Of Gatchina, 25 miles from Petro-
grad, by the Yudenitch forces and state
that Yudenitch was advancing on
Tsarkoe-S SelOs former summer residence
of the late Emperor Nicholas, and
Krasfoye-S -Selo, nearby.
Reports of the capture of these
places by the anti-Bolsheviki army.
however, seemed Of doubtful accuracy.
A BOlsheviki wireless station is located
near. TsarkoeSelo. and announcements
were made by the wireless press here
this morning that the Eolsheviki were
apparently still in possession Of it. as
Soviets propag ganda was still being sent
out from the station during this fore

Soviet troops are reported to be leav-

In any event, advices indicate that
the Yudenitch forces are encountering
feeble resistance.
BOLSHEVIKI TAKE KIEV
Bolsheviki troops are said to have
captured lkiev.5 @but in !rhis sregiulr the
situation is obscure.
Further details of the situation
sc nth of Moscow have not been re-
ceived. but it appears that Bolshe,>ki
armies in that region are launching
counter attacks against General Dene-
kine's line. With the exception of the
c, pture of Kiev. the Bolsheviki seem
to have been repulsed along the. new
front
In the meantime Admiral Kolchak.

Omsk. and commander of the anti
Bolsheviki element on the eastern Rus
sia front, was advancing rapidly in
pursuit Of the Soviets armies. which
have been ordered to retire. The loca-

has not been reported recently. but it
is known to be west Of the Tobol river,
which flows northward to the eastern
foothills of the Urals.

MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED LAW
Some question was expressed at the
state house today as to whether Gov
ernor Frazier had not erred in calling
the special election in the 22nd district
for date so early as October 81.
Attention is called to the fact that
Sec. 9S2 Of the compiled Law Of 1913
provides that "notice Of ANY election"
shall be given by publication in an
official county newspaper at least once
each week for four successive weeks.
This section rcites the officials in whose
election this provision shall apply,
and members of the legislature are ex-
pressly named. 1t is pointed out that
it would be clearly impossible for the
county auditor of Towner to comply
with this act in the event of a special
elections being held but two days from
date.
WHAT OF WARD COUNTY?
Wonder is also expressed as to what
Governor Frazier intends to do In the
case Of Ward county, where there ex-
lists a Vacancy on the legislative ticket
owing to the recent death Of 0. N.
eleven. eleven was elected last fall
on a solid anti-league ticket. He was
never seated owing to illness which de-
tained him in Seattle, whittier he went
to visit a daughter, just before the
last session, and he remained i'll the
washington city until his death a
couple Of weeks ago, when his body
was brought back to Minot for inter
ment.
There is said to be no reason why
Governor Frazier should wish to fill
the vacancy in Towner county and to
leave one seat from Ward empty unless
it be the fact that atTowner is fairly solid
in its Nonpartisan ship, while Ward
county has been rather consistently re-
jecting league candidates. The absence
Of eleven cost the opposition one vote
in the house during the last session at
times when that one vote would have
deprived the league of the two-thirds
majority which was necessary to pass
the emergency clause giving it's meas
ures immediate effect, and the absence
Of a successor to eleven is, it Is said,
more likly to be expensive to the Op-
position than to the league.
AUDITOR DERELICT
It was stated at the governors Of
flee this afternoon that the vacancy in
Ward had not officially been certified
by the county offices, as required by
law, and that the governor could not
until advised take official cognizance
Of the vacancy.

Resolutions

The report Of the resolutions
committee brought forth the
greatest amount Of discussion.
H. B. 1913, known as the soldiers
bonus law, was the first matter
discussed. The committee rec
commended that the state con-
vention extend it's thanks to the
state officials for the passage of
this law, but petitioned the state
authorities to amend it to pro-
vide greater latitude so that re-
turned service men can pay off
indebtedness on their homes,
buy furniture and farm equip
ment and invest that money in
legitimate business. This rec
ommendation was unanimously
adopted. The resolution further
provided that instead Of making
the former service men wait
years for the money provided
under the law that the state is
sue bonds or other certificates of
indebtedness to make such funds
Immediately available.
IA resolution providing that
mo state or post officer can be a
holder Of political office, or seek
er of such office was laid on the
table by a unanimous vote after
it was pointed out that many of
the most active members of the
legion in this state already both
offices in the legion, as we'll as
political offices. hut the dele
gates made it known during the
discussion that they did not
favor and would not permit the
use of the legion and it's organi-
zation for the furtherance of the
political ambitions Of any men,
Der or other.

unanimous vote,to compile list of all
conscientious objectors, slackers and
other un-American residents of this
state and send this list to all states in
the country and cooperate with other
states in keeping their names and
their war records constantly before
the membership of the legion.
It was unanimously passed to CO.
operate with the United States public
health service and the state board of
health to secure the establishment of
free venereal clinics in the larger
cities Of the state Immediately.
Aid for the service men in need of
assistance was embodied in another
resolution that was unanimously
passed. This covered free employ
ment bureaus, obtaining bonus and
back pay, taking care Of war risk in
surance problems and engage actively
in community welfare and construc-
tive work. The sense of the resolution
was that each post in the state should
take up this work Immediately and
obtain any cooperation necessary
from the state headquarters.

adopted providing for the deportation
of all foreign citizens who used that
fact to escape military service in this

New York, Sept 9.-America well
coined General Pershing home. Hon
Ored by foreign rulers and govern
ments, the COMMUNICATIVE chief Of the
mightiest army that ever fought its
way to victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned to his own folk to
meet a greater honor than any for
eign pOtentate or power could confer
the thanks of the worlds greatest
democracy to the man who had
planned the decisive blow in demOc-
racy's supreme fight against tyranny.
The Stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-control amid
the shambles of the Meuse and the
bloOd-drenched forest of Argonne was
not proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roared from
hundreds of thousands of throats and
the hearts of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker in his
own behalf and that of the President
as well as the welcoming addresses of
House, the state and city.
AS his car passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which jammed
the roadway from the Battery to the
city hall, Pershing attempted in vain
to maintain his cOmpOSure. At first
he replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands, but he was soon carried away
by the storm of applause which swept
in great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with a boyish gesture which told
how deeply he was stirred, while the
grim lines of his brOnZed face broke
as it was rare.
"The American 'dOughbOy' Is the
finest soldier in the world, and it
didn't take the Germans long to find
ii out declared General PerShing in
an interview granted newspaper men.
I'VE boasted little probably of the
peculiar qualities of the American
fighting man, but his aggressiveness,
initiative and devotion as a member
Of the American expeditionary forces
gives us every right to boast and to be
proud of him. the commander said.
Il suppose it is because of the way
the American boy is raised, due to the
fact that he is encouraged to develop
his initiative and that he feels ut any
crisis of his life that he is master Of
his own destiny"
