Will Gather This Evening at Grand Pacific for Finishing Touches $15,000 AMOUNT FIXED FOR BURLEIGH COUNTY Nineteen Teams to Cover City— Women to Conduct House to House Canvass “Fight or give.” That will be the slogan of the Red ‘Cross war relief teams which start out over Burleigh county tomorrow, following a dinner at the Grand Pa- cific at 6:45 this evening, when the final touches will be put on the cam- paign. There will be fiveminute talks by Dr. Stickney, Bradley Marks, ‘H. P. Goddard and Sam Clark. Fifteen thousand dollars is the quota of the $100,000,000 assigned to Burleigh county. Forces Mobilized. City and county teams have been mobilized and each member is deter- mined that the $15,000 will be reach- ed. More, than 1,800 men have register- ed for war service from Burleigh county, This brings the obligation close home and vitalizes the appeal. Bismarck and the county at large must contribute its share to care for the men who will be drafted from these 1,800, Do you want some oth- er community to shoulder the load? Do you want a stranger to finance the aid and succor your boy will need when, 3,000 miles away, he takes his place in the far flung battle lines, to stem the blow aimed at. this country, as well as our allies? Enthusiasm Intense. Enthusiasm for this war relief fund drive is manifested on all sides. The men who returned: from the county districts Saturday stated that the people were determined to .assist in raising the $15,000 to take care of “our boys” at the front.

Favoritism is the canker which is killing Spain and will put an end to her unless we put an end to it.” : At Cordova a number of prominent men, including engineers, university professors, manufacturers, workmen and priests, have published a mani- festo, demanding a new political sys- tem, totally different from that hither- to existing and the formation of: de- fense committees throughout the country. ‘SENATE FINANCE = COMMITTEE BUSY ON WAR TAK BILL ‘Washington, June 18—The senate finance committee today resumed its | work of revising the war revenue bill with a motion by Senator Penrose for reconsideration of its action in regard to lowering postage rates for news- paper and magazine publications.

ROOT COMMISSION INSPECT PALACE Petrograd, June 18.—The members of the Root commission attended a service in the imperial chapel in the winter palace today and later toured the building, much of which is now being used for a military hospital. Mr. Root and his associates talked with wounded soldiers and nurses oc- cupying the great banquet halls and drawing rooms of the palace. They inspected the paintings and sculp- tures of the imperial gallery, passing hundreds of peasants, who were be- ing shown through the palace, hither- to closed to the public. The extreme democracy and orderliness of the Rus- sians was shown by the utter lack of precaution to guard the art treasures of the palace. Rear Admiral Glennon and his aides will leave Petrograd for Sebastopol, accompanied by Russian officers, to visit the Black Sea fleet. 00 INURED 1 ‘VIENNA EXPLOSION Vienna, June 18.—It is officially an- nounced that an explosion has oc curred in the military munitions depot at Steinfeld, near Iner-Neustadt, 31 miles from Vienna.

D., June 18.—Alli- son Pope of Omemee, a passen- ger on the Mongolia, writes from England of his safe arrival there. The Mongolia, he advises, was several times attacked by subma- rines, and finally it either struck a sub or so thoroughly frightened the German U-boat that it did not again molest the ship.

The resolution declares a separate peace with Germany or prolonged in- activity on the battle front to be ig- noble treason toward Russia's allies. The announcement last week that the cabinet had decided to suggest a conference of the entente allies for ex- amination of treaties was followed to- day by the publication of the note sent to the other governments in ques- tion. This note suggests a conference to revise the agreements existing among the allies as to war aims, with the exception of the London agree- ment which provides that none of the signatory powers shall conclude a sep- arate peace. Only Minor Battles. {Little beyond the artillery engage- ments is taking place on any of the various fronts. On the front in France held by the British, aside from the artillery duels, there have been only minor operations in the nature of raids and a continuation of aerial ac- tivity. 33 ‘Near Hurtebise the Germans in a night attack seized portions of trenches held by the French, but later were forced to give back most of them in counter attack. Considerable activity continues in Belgium in the regions of Steenstrate and Het Sas. Allies Capture Towns.

Although quiet still prevails on the Russian front, there seemingly is an indication that hostilities soon will be- gin there again.

London, June 18.—Replying to questions in the house of commons this afternoon as to whether Eng- land would resort to reprisal for German air raids on London, Chan- cellor Andrew Bonar Law said the government intended to take steps not only for damaging the enemy, but for preventing further raids on England. By MILTON BRONNER. Washington, June 18.—The object of the German air raids just made over England is to destroy the aerial supremacy of Great Britain and France on the western front, by forc- ing a large number of the British planes to be called from the fighting front to protect English cities. Such, at least, is the opinion of military authorities here. It is admitted that in this plan all the advantage lies with the Germans. In the first place, it requires only 15 German planes to carry out a raid as destructive as the last one, with its toll of 97 dead and 437 injured. They are free to strike any city or any great industrial center that they GERMAN AIRMEN RAID LONDON DIE FROM TARGET Great Brussiloff offensive was tn full choose, and no one can possibly pre- dict in advance where the blow will whose father.and sister reside here, will enter the hospital serv- ice in France. fall. To protect Great Britain from such raids, on the other hand, thousands BRITAIN DOES NOT RETALIATE of fighting planes would be required, and these can only be procured by withdrawing them from the French front, where every plane is now. ned- ed to maintain the supremacy in the air recently won by the Alies. The second great advantage of Ger- many lies in the fact that it is very much farther from any of the Allies’ flying bases to any vital spot in Ger- many than from the German flying bases to London and other big Eng- lish cities. This doesn’t sound reasonable—it seems it ought to be as far in one di- rection as it is in the other—but look at the map and you will see why it is true, and realize what an enormous advantage this gives Germany. The German airplanes start their raids from bases on the Belgian coast, principally Ostend and Zeebrugge. It is only 150 miles from Ostend to Lon- don; the round trip is an easy flight of two to three hours. . Of course, it is only 130 miles from London to the Belgian jcoast, and Great Brtain has any number of ma- chines capable of making retaliatory raids at this distance. But what is the use? The scattered German fly- ing and submarine bases could not be dangerously damaged except by a con- centrated campaign on the most im- portant. And there is nothing else in Belgium worth raiding.
