The series now stands: Chicago Americans, 2; New York Nationals, 1. The New York Nationals hav- ing executed, as they declare, a stra- tegic retirement to prepared positions on the polo grounds, found themselves today confronting the White Sox in the third game of the world’s series. New York had their backs to the wall to ward off the on-rushing pennant winners, who have captured two straight games and need only to. annex two more to win. the championship, _ of the world. An early count indicated over 35,000 persons jammed into the: vast concrete structure, with more coming. The Line-Up. : Chicago—J. Collins, If; _McMullen, 30; E.

The actual value of North Dakota’s 1917 wheat crop will be much more in excess of the price received in 1916 OUTBREAK ; Take Place at Front Among CK TRI BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10, 1917. "REPORTED OK ~ GERMAN CRAFT Several Mutinous Demonstrations Teutons COUNTER ATTACKS ARE MADE IN YPRES SECTOR Most Attempts to Gain Ground One or Two More Blows Will Proved Failures Say Re- London, Oct. 10.—A revolutionary outbreak on German warships in Wil-| helmshaven about six weeks ago is reported in a dispatch from Copen-| hagen. This uprising is said to have! had all.the elements of a widespread and organized revolt and to have been suppressed -with the greatest diff! culty. Several counter attacks were made were reported to have occurred among soldiers at the front. ‘These were not of such a grave character, the dis- patch says. Several counter at acks were made by the Germans last night in the neighborhood of the Ypres-Staden rail- way. Today's official statement says these attacks were repulsed, but south of the railway on a front of 2,000 yards, the British advance troops were forced back a short distance. | GERMAN STATEMENT. \ Berlin, Uct. 10.—The tbattlelines in the iroat are held firmly by their de- fenders, says today’s army headquar- ters report. Repeated hostile attacks upon this front of approximately eight miles all broke down with the heav- jest losses, it is declared. than this comparison shows, for the quality of wheat is far superior, The 1916 wheat was so poor that it was with difficulty that sufficient seed for this year was obtained.from ii. Five Crops Show Gain. This comparative data is taken trot the"goveriintent trop teport ‘for North’ Dakota, comparing the October 1 es- timate with the December, 1946, re- port. The government statistics show a gain of $63,731,250 for five leading North Dakota crops, including pota- toes and hay, and excluding barley and rye, in which a decided gain will 2é shown, and flaxseed, which probably will show a small loss, even at the prevailing price of $3.25 the bushel. Even with but half a crop, flax at present prices will yield the North Dakota farmer $15,080,000. The October estimate for wheat is 58,600,000 bushels as compared with 39,325,000, the final estimate for 1916. Mne average price is $2.03 as com- pared with $1.25, and the total valug sased on this price is $118,958,000, as compared: with $49,156,250. Oats Worth More. z The October estimate for oats is 38,600,000 bushels, valued at $21,616,- 300, as compared with 53,750,000 bush- els produced in 1916 and valued at $21,500,000. October oats are worth 56 cents. The 1916 price was 40 cents. October corn, estimated at 6,- 770,000 fushels, is valued at $8,53),200, as compared with 13,515,000 bushels at $11,487,750 last year. October pota- toes, estimated at 5,290,000 bushels, are worth $7,935,000 as compared with $6,665,950 for 1916's 6,975,000-bushel October hay, estimated at 1,- 000 tons, is worth $18,957,500, as compared with 3,554,000 tons, worth $23,456,400, shown in the final esti- mate for 1916. Flaxseed is estimated at but 4,640, (0 bushels as compared with 8,137,- 00, the final 1916 estimate. Rye shows 9,310,000 bushels, a gain of 100 per- cent over the 1916 crop of 4,655,000 bushels. October barley, at 2: 000 bushels, shows a slight loss from the 1916 crop of 26,738,000, but the much higher price more than dis- counts the difference. The 1917 wheat crop, although but one-third as great in volume, in value almost parallels the bumper 150,000,- 00 crop of 1915. 'U. S.

By Associated Press, Field Marshal Haig, with the help of the French, has struck another suc- cessful blow in the Ypres salient, and German tenancy of the dominant ridge east of the Ypres is nearing an end. The British yesterday captured further sections of the ridge in the di- rection of Passchendaele and British guns now dominate that part still in Gertnan hands, ag,well as the railway center of Staden, Rulers and Menin and the railroad between Roulers and Menin. ‘ To Lose Submarine Base. One more stroke, perhaps two, and the Germans must bow before the su. perior power of the allies in Flanders and retreat. Should the Germans re- tire to the line of ‘Bruges-Thiell-Cour- tai-Lille, they would relinquish their hold on the greater part of the Bel- gian coast, now used by them for sub- marine bases. Their retirement to this line also would make a sharp salient north of Live unless they chose AT AUDITORIUM Monster Patriotic Mass Meeting Scheduled for Next Saturday Evening SPECIAL PROGRAM OF MUSIC TO BE GIVEN Bismarck will have a chance to show its patriotism at a monster rally to be held Saturday evening in the Audi- torium under the auspices of the Commercial club.

Tuesday »the British and French made their gains under difficult condi- tions. The weather was stormy and the ground was soaked from the rains of several days. Southeast of Broodesinde to St. Jansbeek, where they joined the French, the British made gains all along the line. At Broodesinde, the Australians went over the crest of the Passchendacle ridge, while ~other troops advanced a mile north along the ridge, gaining all objectives. In the center, Poelcappele fell into Brit- ish hands and a considerable advance was made between it and the ridge. On the left, the outskirts of the for- est of Houtholst were gained in ad- vance, two miles northwest of Poel- cappele. The French took all the Ger- man defenses on a two mile front, captured two villages and reached the forest of Houtholst. German prison- ers to the number of more than 1,300 were taken by the Anglo-French troops. BLOW GREAT SUCCESS. British Front in France and Bel- gium, Oct. 10.—The blow struck by marck are urged to be present. It is planned to have a special pro- gram of music, and those. who have heard Mr. Nye, relative of the famous “Bill” Nye, know what a gifted speak- er he is. Details of the big program will be announced in The Tribune from day to day. ¥ This meeting will enable the citi- zens of Bismarck and tributary coun- try to hear a message especially per- tinent at this time.

Prater question was put up to him today. There probaly is not more than $5,000 now availa.le in the university and school funds, for investment. The interest and income funds cannot be touched except for the support of the educational institutions. The invest- ment funds probably will not be’ greatly increased until the first of January, and then the amount of money paid in probaly will be less than usual. Land contract payments "| fall due Dec. 1. The only other source of tncome would be from new land sales, No such sales have been ad- vertised ,and the board of university and school lands does not regard the season propitious for them. The board is making no loans at present, but is filing applications in the order of their receipt. It is not probable that farmers who have pe- titioned for state loans can ‘be accom- modated until after January 1. The purchase of municipal and school bonds has been abandoned entirely for the time-being, the board feeling that all of the funds at its disposal should be preserved for the benefit of the farmer who may need assist- ‘ance to tide him over the winter. The almost utter depletion of the school investment funds is due to a heavy demand for farm loans last spring, when many farmers borrowed money from the state to enadle them to put in the large acreage which! Uncle Sam asked from North Da- kota. SESS SESHSOO OD A $50 LIBERTY LOAN BOND + \? WILL ARM ONE SAMMY.

Over much of this front the attacking troops swept forward to a depth of 1,200 yards or more, over-running many important strongholds of the shattered enemy. | Allies Digging In. H This afternoon the allies were dig- ging in almost on the outskirts of the eneeat, and the British were beyond Poelcappele, after sanguinary hand to hand nughting. further south they had gained the Passchendaele ridge within less than 1,000 yards of Pas-' schendaele, thereby wrenching away almost all that remained to the Ger- mans of their famous ridge system of fortifications. | German Losses Great. Again the German losses have been great, and reports from all along the lines indicates their organization and morale were hit lard. | Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Germans by the preliminary bom- | bardment and during the fighting also.

Germany Has Passed Zenith | Of Military Efficiency; - Attrition of Force Marked Washington, Oct. 10.—Germany has passed the zenith of her military ef- fectiveness and now is on the decline, according to a formal review issued here by the French high commission, based on data of the French general from the Russian front to France and the calling into service of the 1918 and part of the 1919 reserves have been ineffectual in interrupting allied successes.

The first vice president of the Bismarck bank and president of the Benton Packet Co. received notice yesterday: of his appointment to this important post, in| which he will -have supervision of the distrivution of fuel to all sections of North Dakota, and bright and early this morning the North Dakota rail board put up to Captain Baker some puzzlers with which it has been strug- gling for several wecks past. Fear Fuel Famine. Finding that there appears grave danger of a serious fuel shortage in this state during the coming winter, that North Dakota is unable to pro- du il the coal re:uired for domes- tic consumption; that eastern coal has not moved to the docks at Superior and Duluth in the usual volume; that a larger part of our coal must come from Wyoming and Montana mines; that some of the largest mines in the Sheridan, Wyo., district have been op- erating at half capacity only three days a week; that the operators of these mines attribute their inability to sell their product in North Dakota ~~ (Continued on Page Three.) Get Behind Loan Urges Bank Chief State Examiner J. R. Waters Sends Patriotic Circular to and Canada. The Telegrams. The three telegrams comprising this series form the natural comple- ment to the correspondence already disclosed by the state department, con- veying evidence of well calculated and systematic violation of American ney- trality by Germany during a period more than a year preceding the be- ginning of ruthless submarine and | breach of relations between Germany and the United States. Secretary Lansing said the telegrams had not been sent through the state depart- ment, thus leaving the inference that they must have moved them through one of the neutral legations. The statements follow: . “The secretary of state publishes the following two telegrams from the German foreign office to Count von Bernstortf in January, 1916; Wanted Railway troyed. “ January 3rd.—Secret—— General staff desires energetic action in re- gard to the proposed destruction..of Canadian Pacific railway at several ' points with a view to complete and protracted interruption of traffic.

In this latest exposure, the state department believes it has removed the last doubt that Count von Bern- storff was directing head in America for the German machine of espionage. The revelations of the part played by Jeremiah O’Leary was not unexpect. ed and the fact that his name was suggested by Sir Roger Casement, who later was executed in England for treason, already had been indl- cated in early disclosures made by the department.
