AUGUST 27, 1917.- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE RED CROSS IN STATE READY TD AD CAUSE Judge Young Announces’ That: ‘Work of Organization Und- | "er New Plan Complete i PLAN FOUR LARGE MEETINGS IN STATE Judge N. C. Young of Fargo, head of the eNorth Dakota Red Cross, who passed through Bismarck today on No. 4, announced that the state or- ganization is practically complete ana four monster meetings to arouse in- terest in the work will be held at Bis- marck, Fargo, Grand Forks and Mi- * not. The Slope Red Cross executives will be-asked to attend the Bismarck | meeting and a speaker of national rep. utation will be secured for the occa- sion. Judge Young was enthusiastic over the rapidity and smoothness with which the organization has been ac- complished. In Burleigh county there will be no change in the personnel. The present organization will conform to the new regulations and continue its efficient work. This county raised more per capita than any county in the state and probably is best organ- ized to carry on -effective work. Organizations have just been per- fected in Oliver, Mercer and Morton counties. In Morton county the orig- inal organization came in under the new plan without changes. Counties just completing organizations are: Mercer:—Chairman L. B. Hardy; vice-chairman, Mrs. 8. A. Rand; treas- urer, Ray Seibert and secreary, Thurston Hyland. Oliver—W. T. Thurston, chairman; Frank Keibert, vice-chairman; treas- urer, Fred C. Wick; secretary, Mrs. Robert Dunn. Morton—Chairman, W. A. Lanter- mann; vice-chairman, Mrs. W. H. Stutsman; treasurer, R. S. Johnstone, and secretary, Mrs. A. W. Furness. Judge Young has been doing very effective work since his appointment as director of the state. He is ably assisted by Harry Gurran Wilbur, ex- ecutive secretary. PETAIN HOLDS ALL GAAS IN VERDUN (Continued from Page One.) digging of trenches or occupation of Positions. ITALIANS PRESS FORWARD, Rome, Aug. 27.—The Italians have made a further advance on the Isonzo front north of Goriza. closely pursu- ing the Austrians, the war office an- nounces. Austrian counter attacks on| the Carso were repulsed. The num- ber of prisoners has been increased to More than 23,000, in addition to which | @ great amount of booty has been cap- tured. The statement follows: “The battle is beginning to reveal itself in its vastness. The action north of Goriza, from Aug. 9 onward, may be epitomized as follows: “The gallant troops of the second army, after having thrown 14 bridges across the Isonzo under the fire of the enemy, passed over the river in the night of Aug. 18-19, and proceeded to the attack. They went around the three enemy defehsive lines of Som- mer, Kobelik and Madoni, which Buy This Week ’ Buy this week before the next advance in pric- es come.

Our: small advances rectified the captured positions which were consolidated, ! and the enemy, attempting to counter attack, failed under our fire. i The prisoners thus far number 600; officers and 23,000 men. We have cap- tured 75 guns, including two 305 milli-; meter mortars and many guns of me-} dium caliber, a great number of horses, an airplane in perfect condi-; tion, many trench mortars and ma- chine guns, an@ all kinds of war ma-; terial, including several motor trac-} tors loaded with ammunition. “The enormous difficulty of sending | supplies to our troops across a zone, in which there are no roads has been| surmounted in part because of the. large supply of depots abandoned by! the enemy during his retirement.” Progress Satisfactory. Rome, Aug. 27.—The battle between ! the Italians and the Austrians still rages, with the Austrians stubbornly retreating at many points, including the lower Carso. Numerous messages from the front received by that dis- trict. When asked today for an expression of opinion as to the results thus far achieved in the battle, Lieutenant Gen- eral Count Cadorna, commander-in- chief of the Italian forces, smilingly replied: “We are doing nicely, thank you.” The official communication of the result of the battle shows that the demoralization of the Austrian troops is due partly to the extraordinary aerial and artillery work of the Ital- ians, which has destroyed not only the lines of communication, but has re- sulted in the burning of all the main food and supply stations of the Aus- trfians, who for the last week have been starving at many points between Tolmino and the sea. This also ac- counts for the unusual numper of pris- oners and wounded. Austrian Losses 100,000. Total losses of the Austrians from all causes are reckoned at nearly 109,- 000, the most important of which, in the Carso region, have not -yet been officially announced. It id that among the losses of the Austrians are many of the men of the Twelfth divi- sion, popularly known as the “iron sion.” anfonte Canto, the side of which has been scarred by many struggles in the jJast two years and which is known in both armies as the spot where many men have become heroes, was taken by the Second army corps under Gen- eral Capillo, who crossed the Isonzo at Anhovo and swerved around the base of Monte Sano, thereoy cutting the Austrian line of retreat and com- pletely isolating the mountain, ‘which for so long had been a thorn in the side of the Italians. ee ae ‘BACKGROUND OF RUSSIAN REGIME (Continued from Page One.) cast into” prison. Nobody was put to death. ‘The czar, whose detestable charac- ter and appetite for cruelty had been responsible for Bloody Monday ana other horrors, was put under guard but not harmed. 2 Men whose brothers and sisters had rotted in the underground cells of Siberia and men whose mothers and sisters and wives had been shot dowk on Eloody Monday refused to seek the least revenge. They were wise, they were humane, and they never lost their bearinss. They said: It is the system that we make war upon, not the individuat. Therefore they achieved their place in history with the least bloody ana least cruel revolution ever known and started democracy by abolishing the death penalty, establishing univer- sal suffrage and standing for a prac-| tically universal amnesty. T submit that people capable of such things are perfectly capable of steering and maintaining their democ- racy «if they are allowed to have a fair chance at it. Slid Into Discard. 2. When the revolution broke the entire existing system of police ana public order (so-called) slid into the discard.

H The Russian Peasants, The taking over ezar’s landed possessions recalls the faet that Albert J. Beveridge, in his book, “The Russian Advance,” pub- lished a few years ago and in which he gathered political, social and economic facts, s that even then the Rus- sian peasant was looking forward “to a second emancipation, giving them new additions of land absolutely and without any cost whatever to them- selves.” When the peasant ceased to be a slave he did not comprehend that he was still not free to use his mus- ter’s tools or to cut from the land- owners's forests timber for his use. “The most curious situations, Mr. Beveridge, “are even yet arisi growing out of this inability of the peasant to comprehend the obligation well as the benefits of his emanci- pation Liberties are taken by the Tus: a Russian proprietor which would not be tol ed for an instant by an American in the same situation, In all of this there is not the slightest impertinence, not the least ‘Intention to wrong the landed proprietor, nor the ‘aintest conception on the part of the peasant that there is anything immoral in what he does, He or his fathers did the like before, and he just con- tinues to do the same as a matter of course.” New Medical Marvel. . Of all the remarkable medical in- 8s, probably the most marv ous is a new antiseptic solution per- fected after ten years’ work by Dr. Wilfred Fralick of New York; Dr. ¢ car Eckstein of the University of Ber- Mn, and Dr. A. C. Allen of the Univer- sity of Chicago. It is superior to the famous Carrel- Dakin solution because, in addition to everything that preparation can do, it ean be used on the brain and in the abdominal cavity and can be injected directly into the blood without dan- ger. ‘The last named quality makes it of startling significance in the treatment of biood poisoning. While to put the Carrel-Dakin solu- tion into the veins of a patient would mean certain death, the new prepara- tion, a chlorinated solution of per- manganite of potash, can be run di- rectly into the blood stream without disturbing anything there except the evil elements meant to be attacked.
