VOLUME 12, No. 183, ITALY TAKES FIRST STEP IN AUSTRIAN BREAK (American: Press.) Rome, Sept. 30.—Italy took today what 18 gererally accepted as the first step leading to an open break with Austria. The Italian ambassa- or at Vienna was instructed formally and most energetically to file a pro- test against the strewing of mines by Austiia in the Adriatic sea. He was directed to demand that the Austrian government immediately discontinue the practice. Berlin, Sept. 30.—A report was given out at army headquarters to- day which says: ‘“There has been fighting on our right wing in France, but not decisive. The center is quiet. The French have advanced in the vieinity of Verdun and Toui. Leadop, Sept. 30.—The eighteenth day of the battle of the Aisme thus far has brought no decisive result, but all indications continue to point to an approaching end of the Homeric struggle. Hand-to-hand fighting now raging with tremendous fury is cer- tain, it is generally held by military experts, to decide the issue. All that the public is permitted to know from the aillies’ side is that the British and French armies hold their grip on thelr positions and have con- sistently thrown back the masses of Germans who have been bravely and incessantly hurled on them in an ef- fort to break through the human bar- rier. In BerHm it is asserted there bas been no ¢hange in the situation and the clafm of the allies that the scales have turned slightly in their favor is stoutly denied. The lo#8es of the opposing armies in the 1ast few days have been colos- sal. HEven the official reports contain a gruesome picture of thousands of dead and wounded lying in the fire- sweépt zone between the two armies and every freah assault is adding to the ghastly Ilftter, Germans Attack Left Wing. The latest official communication from Paris says the Germans have delivered several attacks day and night on the left wing to the north of the Somme and between the Som- me and the Olse, all of which have been repulsed. To the north of the Alsne there has been no change. On the center, in Champagne, and to the east of the'Argonne the Ger- mans. have restricted-their; astivities. to heavy cannonading. Between the 'Argonne and the Meuse the allles re- port slight progress against the Ger- mans, who are holding strong posi- tions. On the right wing in Lorraine and Vosges the official statement reports no change in the situation. A The offi- cial report asserts the allies have taken many prisoners in the last twenty-four hours, The French official communication says the allles’ line runs from the east to the west through the region of Pont-a-Mousson, Aprement and the Meuse, through the region of St. Mi- hiel, alcng the heights to the north of Spada, and through a portion of the heights of the Meuse. Between Ver- dun and Rhelms the gemeral front is indicated by a line passing through the region of Varennes, to the north of Souain and the Roman roadway, which runs into Rheims, the road from Rheims to Berry-au-Bac. On Right of the Aisne. On the right bank of the Aisne the line draws near to the Aisne and con- tinues in the region of Soissons. Be- tween Soissons and the forest of L’Aigle it runs over the first plateau of the right bank of the Aisne. Be- tween the Oise and the Somme the battle line runs along the front from Ribecourt (held by the allies) to Las- signy (occupied by the Germans), to Roye, (held by the allies), and to Chalons (in possession of thc Ger- mans). To the north of the Somme the line continues along the plateau between Albert and Combles. Paris advices say the comparative calm on the battle line Monday was a surprise after Sunday’s storm of shot and shell. It was supposed the extreme violence of the German at- tack meant a determination to finish the campaign on the Aisne by break- ing the allies lines at all costs and pressure. The center, however, was the only point seriously attacked, probably on the supposition that the line here had been weakened to rein- force the left. One theory for the lull is that an armisticc of four hours, granted by the French for burying the dead, was not sufficient, and that the Germans needed the entire day to get rid of the bodies encumbering the trenches. MACHINE CANDIDATES WIN Result of Primary Election for Gov- ernor of New York. New York, Sept. party machines were apparently suc- cessful in the first popular statewide primaries held in New York.

DO NOT STAY Germans Enter Town, but Only Short Time. London, Sept. 30.—An ofiicial com- munication given out by the Bet government is contained in an Ant- werp dispatch to the Reuter’s Tele- grain company. It says: “After bombarding Malines, four teen miles southeast of Antwerp, the Germans, under cover of t, re .entered the unoccupied town, but have now resumed their march therzfrom. The Germans have directed the fire of their heavy artillery on the forts of Wavre, St. Catherine and Wael- heim, about ten miles from Antwerp, but with a result not justifying their great expenditure of ammunition. Our forts replied and the bombardment ceasad. Between the Dendre and the Willebroeck canal, west of Waelheim, the offensive movement of the enemy was promptly checked. The forts in- flicted serious losses on the enemy and compelled his retreat.” SWEDISH SOCIALISTS GAIN Party Will Control Government at End of War, Is Belief.

Bzmli rxo'i'zmor I8 URGED|® Beginning tomorrow, and lasting for two whole months, the open sea- son for the killing of partridge will begin. = Many local hynters are making preparations to get into the woods to take advantage of the early season shooting, but the biggest crowd will hike to the tall pines Saturday and Sunday, spending the week-end in quest of the birds. _The partridges are found in all di- rections. Many are killed within the city limits and within a short distance of them. The increasing popularity.of the automobile is req the nimrods to travel farther for their bags, how- Those owning machines find it easy to slip out of the city in an af- ternoon and return before dark with several, and sometimes, many birds. The. consequence is that the birds are pretty well shot off along the roads where two or three years ago. it was not an uncommon sight to see half a dozen within a few minutes or half an hour. Chief of Game Wardens S. €. Bailey states that partridges are as plenti- ful this fall as they were last, as near- ly as he can judge from his trips in- to the country. But he declares that both partridges and prairie chickens would be better protected, and there- fore more numerous, if the season opened on the same day, such as Sept. 15 or a week, later. “It is just as reasonable to have seperate openings for different kinds of ducks as to have different open- ings for prairie chickens and part- ridges,” he said today. “Partridge and prairie chickens belong to the same family. The prairie chicken is a pinnated grouse and the partridge is a ruffed grouse. It would be as sensible to have the seagon for teal ducks open one month and that for mallards another month as to have the season for prairie chickens open Sept. 7 and that for partridges open Oct. 1, which is now the case.” 4 TWENTY TOWNSIN Eighty-nine Organizations Join Move of Protective Association to Re- quest Treaty Enforcement.

Bemidji Agriculturist Addresses the Farmers of Buens Vista. One of the most largely attended meetings of the Bemidji high school country visits was conducted at Buena Vista last evening by B. M. Gile, agriculturist. Gile spoke on al- falfa and illustrated his lectures by pictures thrown upon a large screen. The andience was attentive and ap- peared much interested by the re- marks and suggestions of Mr. Gile. Homer C. Baer, cashier of the Se- curity State bank, also attended the meeting. Charles A. Lindbergh, congress- n, who will speak in the City hall at 8:30 this evening, has repruentgd: the Sixth district in congress since 1907. An examination of his record will show that the district has been “on the map” and ably represented during that time. Lindbergh was the first representative in congress to make a speech on the floor of the house in opposition to Cannon rule; and took a leading part in the insur- gent movement for reform. # : Congressman Lindbergh has al- ‘ways and consistently opposed cau- cus rule and secret organization con- trol of legislation, holding it the plain duty of a congressman to rep- resent the interests of his constitu- ents and not the special interests represented by the inside few. In the beginning of the present congress Lindbergh made. a successful fight against secret sessions of the bank- ing currency committee, of which he is a member, supporting the recom- mendation of President Wilson that all legislative activity should be open to the public view. He first called attention in the country\of the evils resulting from interlocking directorates in control of great corporations and was the first to introduce a resolution for the investigation of the money trust. He is now active in the movement to se- cure for the farmers of the country the bencfit of a working rural credit system, and because of his member- ship on the committee of bankingand currency, will have a good deal of influence in shaping such legislation. His address tonight will be mon- political, as- he will discuss the in- fluence of the European war on busi- ness, particularly with reference to northern Minnesota. All should hear this address. La- dies are especially invited to attend and hear what our congressman has to say about the high cost of iiving. A RECORD LOAD OF ONIONS. Vegetables From Lunn Farm Fill Weighing, with the driver, more than four tons, a load of Yellow and Red globe onfons were taken to the large warehouse ~of- the Beraidji Onion Growers’ association from the farm of John Lunn yesterday after- noon. The load -contained 130 crates of onions, weighing 60 pounds per crate. The load was carried in the new wagon box which Lunn re- cently purchased and which may be changed into fifteen different uses, being one of the most economical and labor-saving schemes on the market today. The box does not have to he taken from the wagon gear to be changed to any of its forms. Lunn says that farmers are daily bringing produce to the warehouse, but that no effort has been made to place it on the market because of warm weather. The harvest at the Lunn farm has not been completed, but lack of stor- age room necessitated the removal of the onions to the warehouse. MANY WATCH GRADING. Visiting Commissioners Witness Road Work Demonstration.
