W. C. CRAWFORD 18 SERIOUSLY INJURED Driver of Car and Wife in Hos- pital and Are Still Uncon- scious While returning from a sight seeing tour through the Bad Lands, a car driven by W. F. Burnett, attorney of Dickinson, filled with delegates to the annual meeting of the State Federa- tion of Women’s clubs, turned com- pletely over and landed on its wheels again. The‘six occupants were all seriously injured. The spill occurred Tuesday evening at 5 p. m., on the road five miles; west of Dickinson. Mr. and Mrs. Burnett, were most seriously Jnjured. When picked up, he had an ugly gash in his head and both he and his wife were uncon: scious.

Release’ Liverymen. By WINONA WILCOX, A familiar sign in the shops makes many & woman meditate. It reads, “Carry home your bundles and release a man for Uncle Sam.” ‘But not a word is there about releasing the man’s wages for Mrs. Consumer's ben- efit.” ‘Ferhaps the shopper had bought a blouse at an advance of 35 per cent; or paid $4.50 a dozen for small linen napkins which formerly cost $2.25; or noted that all cotton had climbed into the luxury class.—Still she met “carry home your bundles” at every turn. Then there is the “carry home your bundles movement” backed by an or- ganization of representative women. ‘No wonder she is confused. Mrs. Newton D. Baker, wife of the secretary of war, has been a student of economic conditions for many; years. Mrs. Baker has just been ap- pointed national chairman of the joint consumers’ committee. In interviews, ° oe MEONEWTON D.BAKER | ree Mrs. Baker says: “Carry our bundles? Yes, but not! unless we,share in what the mer- chants save in delivery costs. I will not work a bit for the undertaking unless I can be assured the merchants are going to reduce the price of every Piece of goods that is not delivered. “My own suggestion is that a cash discount on the purchase price be granted those who carry bundles in- stead of ordering them delivered. If anyone can think of a better way, it should be suggested at once. “Unless women are given a discount on the price of goods they carry home, the merchants are simply going to add to their profits by the women’s sacri- fices. “Many stores have worked up an elaborate system of deliveries as part of the style of the shop. One mer- chant in Washington told me that his’ delivery system cost him $100,000 last year, and he said he didn’t care if it cost twice that, for he didn’t pay for it.

Immediately cars ‘were vacated to rush the injured to the Dickinson hos- pital. : Burnett’s car was a powerful, seven passenger machine which he had pur-’ chased recently from the estate of the late James Caldwell. While the condition of several of; the women is serious, it is believed that all will recover. HEFLIN STARTS ANOTHER ROU Washington, Oct. 3,—The protracted wrangle over charges by Rep. Heflin of Alabama that certain members ot congress have “acted suspiciously” in the present war, flared up again in the house today when Rep. Mason of Iili- nois made a speech contending that Heflin had inferentially charged Ma- son with treason and “linked him up with Emma Goldman.” Kep. Heflin requested consent of the house for time to reply to Mason’s remarks afd to’name the men he thought had “acted suspiciously,” but objection. was made by Rep. Garner ‘and the row, for the time being, was brought to an end. BOSTON: OFFICER KILLED IN FRANCE Washington, Oct. 3.—Lieutenant G. P.

AMERICAN DESTROYER [5 IN CULLISION Washington, Oct. 3—An American destroyer, in British waters, recently was in collission with a British naval costs him 11 cents a parcel to make deliveries. In New York, where dis- tances ‘are greater, the average cost runs. as high as 15:cents.” By Mrs. Baker's plan of cash dis- counts, a woman purchasing $1 worth of goods at a store where a five per cent cash discount had been agreed upon, would be charged only 95 cents for the goods if she took the bundle home with her. But if she phoned for them or asked at the store that they be delivered, she would be charged the full $1. This would be to cover cost. of delivery. “I-am willing to take part in the campaign when I can be assured that the customers are going to obtain some of the benefit,” said Mrs. Baker. “I knowymany women who take this same attitude. “Representative : women, working through the organizations already es- tablished, will try to arrange for this discount plan. “If, assurance is given them that this will be granted, a bundle carrying campaign will be established on a na- tional scale.” " *’Wihat Mrs. ‘Baker's: clated: by thousands of women: It is always sich a joy to say, after read- ing something in print, “Why, that’ just what I’ve been thinking myself!” DENIES. RUMOR F SEPARATE PEACE. PACT German Foreign Secretary Say3 No Overtures Have Been Made to Entente © Amsterdam, Oct. 3.—Germany has' made no proposals whatever for a separate peace. to France or Great ( Britain. Dr. von Kuehlmann, the Ger- man foreign secretary, made this an- nouncement, according to an official statement received from Berlin, in answering the speech made by the Russian minister of war before the democratic congress in Petrograd. The statement says: “The Russian war minister asserted at the Petrograd democratic congress that the imperial chancellor, Dr. Mi- chaelis, had stated, among other things, that Germany was ready to | return Alsace-Lorraine to France. The imperial chancellor’s utterances are generally known, and the assertion of | the Pussian war minister is an inven- tion. The war minister further stated that it was Germany’s intention to make a separate peace with Great Britain and France at the cost of Russia, and that Great Britain and France had informed the Russian, government that they would not be parties to any such proposal. “I hear with state that Germany has made no proposals whatever for a separate peace, either with France or Great Britain,” he said. Last month reports were circulated in Russia that France and Great Bri- tain had received offers to make a separate peace at the expense of Rus- sia, Russia obtained formal denials, from France and Great Britain that) they would not make peace with Ger- many to the detriment of Russia. The announcement was made in Petro- grad on Sept. 28. ! The reported statement of the Rus-; sian war minister as regards Alsace- Lorraine has not been received pre- viously in this country.

C., Oct. 3.—Great ‘Britain's embargo on shipments of practically everything to Sweden, Nor- way,’Denmark and the Netherlands is regarded here as a most important move in tightening the cordon which slowly but surely is' killing the mili- tary power of Germany. Coming close on the heels of the export embargo of the United States, which is being administered to keep fro mthe European neutrals every- thing that might supply the central powers, Great Britain's action is re- garded as one of the most important of the war. As the British embargo excludes ev- erything except printed matter, about; the only thing that will be permitted | to go'to the German people by way of the neutrals will be expressions of world opinion that they should reor- ganize their system of government to do away with the military autocracy. In a figurative sense, Great Britain holds one end of the rope and the United States the other. the military power of Germany is be- ing strangled because the embargo cuts off the supplies she has been re- ceiving through the adjacent neutrals.

Washington, Oct. 3.—About 230,000 men, representing the third incre- ment to-the national army, were on their way today to sixteen canton- ments where already half of the 687,- U0 called to the colors by the presi- dent are mobjlized. Although today’s quota should ‘be 10 percent under reg- ulations. promulgated iby Provost aMrshal Gener der, local condi- tions in various states have reduced the general aver of the increment to 20 percent or 25 percent. Coincident - with the start of the third division to the training camp today, the railroads’ war board is- sued a statement in connection with the part which the railroads have paid in handling the biggest troop movement ever attempted in this country, “Including the national guard, the regular army, and the new national army, the railroads to date have moved approzimately 720,000 sol- diers, from their homes to training camps, or embarkation points,” says the statement. “All this army, ex- cept the 32,549 men included in the first 5 percent that moved by regu- lar train on September 5, required special train service, involving the use of 13,500 passenger. cars, including 1,500 Pullmans and tourist. sleepers, 2,009 isaggage cars, and 4,500 freight cars.

The French reprisals are already under way and were continued last {night. French airmen dropped bombs on Baden. More than seven tons of bombs also were dropped on various military odjectives in, German held territory. Along the French front, the artillery duels were vigorous at many points. Activity was especially marked north of Verdun, where the French are ap- . parently preparing an attack to recov- er a few trench elements which the jcrown prince’s troops retined when their main attack was. thrown back north of Hill No. 344 yesterday.

W. W.’S SCOFFS AT CHARGES Chicago, Oct. 3.—Whether an or- j ganization can strike during war time and whether members of an organiza- tian can stay on strike when that strike was initiated before the war started, are the two paramount is- | sues between the government and the 166 indicted I. W. W., acording to Otto Christensen, attorney for the organi- zation. He is in the city today pre- paring for the legal battle, which will open soon. 1 Sweeping denial of the charges nafned in the indictment was made by Christensen, who asserted the chief point at issue is whether the I. W. W. are within-the law in promulgating strikes during war times. “The government’s charges cannot ibly stand up,” he declared. “The I. W. W. has at no time taken a posi- tive position in regard to the war. Some of the strikes we are charged with starting ‘to embarrass the gov- ernment’ were started before the war began. “The charge that German money “My original plans were to give a farewell concert to the people of Bis- marck in the auditorium on Wednes- day night, the 26th of September, ‘This was announced in The Bismarck Tridune, but on the day following I found that the Auditorium was en- gaged for that evening, and changed the date to Friday night. After the change was made, Attorney General Langer called me by telephone and asked if the Second infantry ‘band would play for a farewell address the governor wished to give the boys of the two North Dakota regiments Fri- day night. 1 told him that we al- ready had a concert scheduled for that night. “I heard no more regarding any speeches going to be made until late Friday afternoon, when I was asked to go into the Public Opinion office (locai Townley headquarters) and ar- range the program so as to place the talks Mr. Langer had provided. “| wish to state that | did not arrange any part of the speaking program, nor ask anyone to speak excepting Chaplain Markley, who took up the collection for the band. Naturally 1 cooperated when Mr. Langer made the re- quest.” In the face of these facts, Townley’s hired hands deliberately stepped in at the eleventh hour and ysed the concert which had been arranged by Director Bachman and advertised by him solely as a band concert, and to which loyal Americans were permit- ted to come anticipating a patriotic concert by a patriotic and popular musical organization, and made of it a league demonstration upon which Townley and Frazier might hang some doubtful shreds of patriotism. The public never was taken into the confidence of Townley’s hired hands except an eleventh hour league newspaper announcement, and Bach- man was consulted only at the last moment, after he had published his program in the afternoon daily papers and had advised The Tribune that he knew nothing of any contemplated speeches; ‘but the meeting was care- fully press agented to outside publi- cations as a league patriotic demon- stration, and the band concert was mentioned merely as an incident. The Tribune repeats that it was a deliberate, contemptible piece of trickery upon the part of hired hands of President Townley, frightened by the rising tide of indignation against Townleyism.

The first of the new type have been tried out with re- sults that amazed the officers who made trial trips.

ABANDONED Pics HUSTLE OWN GRUB AND GROW HEARTY Animals Deserted by Owner Five Years Ago Found to Have Thrived in Wilds Shields, N. D., Oct. 3.—Five years ago William Gayton aband- oned his farm at Selfridge to ac- cept the post of Indian farmer at the Porcupine agency. He left on the place two year-old porkers intending to return for the ani- mals later. One thing and an- other prevented his return for some months, and when he did go back, the hogs were not to be found. He gave them no further thought until some time ago when (Mike Brown, while haying on the place, ran onto the animals, who were as coy and savage as wild boars. Although the hogs had looked after themselves for five years, living in the open winter and summer, they had thrived, one of the animals weighing 500 and the other 600 pounds. They had lived solely on wild grass, nuts and roots. It was necessary to resort to the use of traps to capture them.
