to As degrees: in May, 1892, iG de-
grccs; and in May. 1907. 10 degrees.
Only June, 1914, had' more rain than
this month, with 900 inches regis
tered.

was nearly six degrees below the nor
NAL, there were no killing trosts in
Bismarck. The highest temperature

month was "a inches above normal.
Wind Movement High
The total wind movement was
1920 miles. an average hourly
velocity of 1873 miles. The wind
movement was also far above the
normal. The highest velocity record
ed was at the rate of 46 miles an
hour from the northeast May s. There
were six clear days, ten partly cloudy
days and Is cloudy days. the sun
shine being but 43 per cent Of the
possible.
The weather for the month was
admirable for small grains of all
kinds; for pastures, meadows, ranges
and for field work, particularly for
snring blowing. The only crop not
showing a normal condition at the
end of the month was corn. although
in some sections il is up f: good
stand and color, with no reports Of
seed rotting received. The .subsoi
moisture, Roberts report says, is the
greatest for June | in many years
and has not been surpassed since

Gasoline Now lie

a welcome announcement is the
fact that gasoline may now cost only

on any car in few minutes time.

Action.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. IL (P)
The struggle over the plans for the
reduction of world ornaments came
quickly to the fore today at the meet
ing of the disarmament committee OF
the league assembly when Count Won
Bernstorff of Germany, opposed the
suggestion to postpone the session OF
the leagues preparatory disarmament
commission scheduled for November.
J.,sJ.~ Loudon, Netherlands minister
to France, who is president of the
leagues disarmament commission, of
which the United States is member,
urged the projected November meet
ing be put off for some weeks, or some
months. This would be, he said, in
order to permit the government to
settle by direct negotiations the serious
Emergencies existing between them
over the fundamental problems Of
disarmament.
Nj. Eoudon declared frankly that
public opinion had been disappointed
by the first result of the work of the
preparatory commission, which had
failed to frame any real draft treaty.
He thought this was because excessive
hopes were encouraged, causing the
public to expect an agreement on every
point. 1t would be a great mistake,
he said, to meet again before the gov
ernments had reached an accord on
essentials, fearing this might endan-
ger the success of the disarmament
movement.
He pleaded with the assembly COM
mittee to "give leg up" to the spe-
cial preparatory commission, so public
opinion would compel the governments
to reach an accord, and thus insure a
successful conference.
No decision was reached on the ques-
ton of posLponement, Md the discus
sion will continue for several days.

PARIS, Sept. II, P)-In spite OF
the disasters which have befallen
the latest attempts at trans-Atlan-
tic flights, there still is a poSsihil-
ity that the Farman Bluebird pill
oted by Leon Givon will attempt
the crossing to New York within a
fortnight
The Farman company announced
tonight that the plane and pilot
are ready to take off any time be-
fore September 25. The only cues
ton now is the weather until that
date which is considered the latest
possible for a flight to the west
this year.
The announcement caused some
surprise in aviation circles where it
was thought that all hope of a
flight had been given up after the
loss of the st. Raphael, the Old
Glory and the Sir John CARING
Paul Tarascon, who has been pre-
pairing his plane, Tango Bird, has
made no announcement as tc
whether he will hop off soon, but
has made statement to the French
press that only adverse weather
could stop the flight and that he
expected favorable wind by way OF
the Azores.
These two developments conse-
quently may mean that two French
planes will still make the Atlantic
attempt before the close of the
flying season this year.

GRAND ARMY
{ WELCOMED TO
ANNUAL CAMP

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. IL (P)
The blue-clad members of the Grand
Army of the Republic formally were
welcomed to their annual encamp-
ment here tonight when the city ex-
tended it's official greeting with civic
parade in which local military, city,
fraternal and patriotic organizations
participated.
The grey-haired veterans, however,
did not form part of the marching
columns. With their last parade a
thing of history, the wearers of the
blue occupied places of honor on the
reviewing stand while younger men
marched before them
The 126th infantry of the Michigan
national guard, veterans of the Span
American war; members of the
American legion, and members of fra
ternal organizations formed the body
of the parade.
A semi-official meeting at the arm
ory followed. Apparently recovered

What may prove to be the popular
subject for discussion during the en-
campment came to the front today-a
proposed reunion of the soldiers of the
union forces and those of the con-
federacy. The question was considered
at the last annual encampment at
Des Moines Commander Walsh, how
ever, does not believe the question will
reach the floor of the encampment
"Some day the Johnnies may meet
with us, but the time is not now," he
said today.
