AUSTRIA'S PLEA DENIED


On Oct. 10, 1918, President Wilson
refused Austria's request for peace,
stating that the independence of the
C1rchoslovak and Jugoslav nations
had been recognized by the United
States and that with these nations
would rest the decision as to any
peace terms proposed by Austria.
Americans penetrated the Kriem-
hide line at several points between
the Argonne and the Meuse and
forced the Germans to retire to the
Freya line. Allied armies reached
the Dutch frontier; Americans and
British advanced southeast of Cam
brai and the British extended their
gains east of Douai.
The French reached the Hunding
line in Champagne and captured st.
Germainmont. The Germans began
the evacuation of Brussels.

FORTUNE GREW MAGICALLY

Iop A.<E oRG"
"Blumey's' name is Alfred G. Blu
menthal The theater has been his
interest for a relatively short time.
He landed in it via the real estate
route.
His father was one of the town
meat and icve dealers of San Rafael.
An only son, he left home to make
his fortune: tarried in San Fran
cisco and adventured to Los Angeles
at time when the big realty boom
was hitting Southern California.
Working with syndicate, he be-
gan to buy downtown corners. Not
so many years later he was rubbing
his eyes. Something like a hundred
million had been turned over in sales
and repurchases! The firm of A, C..
Blumenthal & Co. came into eXis-
tence: he took an old tumble down
building of two stories and turned
it into 12-story office building.
Again he rubbed his eyes. For the
boom brought him 100000 year in
rentals.
His arrival in New York was for
recreation and rest. He came East
to see the shows and play about with
Joe Schenck, the movie mogul. That's
what he came for-but before he
went home he was affiliated with
William Fox and was dealing in
movie houses and vast film concerns

Coin Harvey Speaks
To 600 at WillistOn

Williston, N. D., Sept. 22.-R-
Confidence that his party will carry
California, Washington, Indiana and
|, three or four other states and thus
obtain the balance Of power in the
next congress was expressed in an
address here by w. H. (Coin) Harvey,
Liberty party candidate for presi-
dent.
The aged economist, speaking be-
fore about 600 persons, attacked the
country's financial system as the
cause Of the depression and Of the
financial difficulties Of farmers and
workers.
He termed money "the lifeblood of
civilization" declaring that money
must flow freely and unchecked Il
civilization is to survive.
The hindering Of the free circula-
tion OF money by charging interest
and by boarding, he said, contributed
to the decay and death Of nations in
ages past and endangers the exis-
tence of the present civilization.
Money, Harvey declared, should be
issued by the government directly to
the people in payment for labor per-
formed on public projects, the issue
OF such money limited only by the
needs of labor, which method he
claimed would assure jobs to all
whenever desired. Government own
ership of all banks was advocated by
Harvey.

There Is no need for such a

Expenditure This Year Only
$666.114 Compared to
1884, ooo in 1881

Road maintenance costs in North
Dakota are at the lowest level since
1925, according to figures announced
Thursday by A. D. McKinnon, chief
highway commissioner.
Rigid economy by the state highway
department, McKinnon said, has
made it possible to maintain 5,516
miles Of roads from Jan. / to Aug. 81
this year at cost Of 666,ll4.l4. while
for the same period last year the total
expenditure was $8S4,006.75. While
Sl87, 894.6l less was expended for the
first eight months this year than for
the same period in 1881, 398 more
miles OF road are being maintained
this year.
The average cost per mile for road
maintenance this year is $l20.76, COM
pared to $166.84 for the first eight
months of last year.
North Dakota's average expenditure
per mile is the third lowest in the
nation, according to the survey by the
U. s. bureau Of public roads, McKin-
non said.
Although the departments MAIN
tenance budget for this year is $780,
600 less than that for 1881. McKinnon
said, maintenance expenditure for the
first eight months this year were So
per cent below the normal percentage
Of funds appropriated for the period.
The department contemplates that by
Sept. /, approximately 81 per cent of
its maintenance funds Is expended in
the normal year. Up to August this
year, however. only 56.5 per cent Of
the total budget allotment for MAIN
tanning roads had been spent by the
department.
In the normal year. McKinnon said,
SO per cent Of the total maintenance
budget is spent in the last four
months. The larger expenditure DUR
ing this period is made necessary by
increased maintenance work in the
fall and early winter.
The department estimates that the
average cost per mile for the whole
of this year will be 1922, compared
with $3.50 In 1881, $277 in 1880, $248
in 1879, 1928 In 1928, $2e5 in 1927 and
1874 in 1925. The low cost in 1926,
McKinnon said, was due partly to the
IacL Cnat large percentage OF the
road was new and did not require as
much maintenance work as now.
OF the seven highway districts in
the state, the Bismarck district. so
far this year, has spent the smallest
percentage of its maintenance allot-
ment-45.7 per cent. Percentages
spent by the other districts included:
Valley City SSH, Devils Lake $50. Mi
not 54.3, Dickinson 500, Grand Forks
S6.4 and Williston 554.
The Bismarck district for the first
eight months spent $l02.62 per mile,
the Valley City district $l41.98. the
Devils Lake district $l13.99, the Minot
district $120.15, the Dickinson district
S124.84, the Grand Forks district
S120.17 and the Williston district
S108.72.
