D., Oct. 13.—“Pride in flated,,..power .magoified,:..ferror,...in- stilled and booty secured in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 were the beginning of the present struggle in Europe,” said Bishop Cooke of: Mon- tana today in addressing the North Dakota Methodist Episcopal church on the “World's ‘War.” “The Germany of music, art and poets faded into militarism. Memo- ries of Goethe, Kent Boethoven and Mozart were lost in Bismarck’s brutal, cold blooded, savage, intensive indus- trial and military machine for world mastery. Germany’s “Kultur.” “Germany’s materialistic ‘kultur’ de- manded a world under its feet. Jeal- ousy of England's sea power, colonies, markets and growth demanded more ships, bigger armies, and closer or- ganization, with German supremacy} the kaiser’s dream. This kultur of confidence ignored treaties and would bleed France, rape Belgium, steal Ser- bia and butcher the Armenians, and on knees of blasphemous prayer claim God's co-operation. Germany's lust was 250 million subjects as her do- mains. “The name of Germany has been made an execration. All morals have been subverted to the needs of state and power; all individualism lost in avariciougness and greed. Her doom{ is written on the walls of democracy. She is now whipned, and like a beaten cur will crave the world’s pity.

Nye of Minnesota, a brother of the late “Bill” Nye, most typical of American humorists, and himself one of the northwest’s most brilliant ora- tors. Pure, undiluted, unconditional, un- swerving Americanism will be the theme around which Congressman Nye ; Will build his address this evening. He comes to North Dakota convinced ‘by its past performances that the rank and file of its citizens are as loyal Americans as can ‘be found on the continent; he comes to bring a pledge of faith and confidence from our sister state to the east and to tell of some of the things which Uncle Sam is doing to assure a victory for world-wide democracy in the great, final struggle with autocracy. Program for Evening. The meeting at the Auditorium will be preceded by a concert from the Bismarck Elks’ band. H. P. Goddard, President of the Bismarck Commer- “cial club will preside. The program will open with the community singing of “America,” led by the Bismarck mixed quartet. President Goddard will introduce the speaker of the eve- ning, and Mr. Nye’s address will im- mediately follow. Campfire Girls to Usher. The volunteer service of Campfire! girls as ushers will be a novel fea- ture of the Auditorium meeting. Misses Josephine ‘Welch, Mildred Ban- ham, Imogene McLean, Lavine Regis- ter, Eunice Olson and Alice Webb have enlisted for this duty, and they will appear in the regulation garb of their organization, which closely cor- responds with the Boy Scouts. { Coming from All Points. | American loyalists from all parts i of the Slope have signified their in- tention of attending this evening's iaeling: which will be the only one in this district addressed ‘by Congress- man Nye. Scores of automodile par- ties are expected from both sides of the river. The roads are good, the weather pleasant, and the out-of-town i representation will be unusually large. That Bismarck will be out in force goes without saying. Bismarck has never been found wanting when patriotism was in question. | BRING IN CREW. | An Atlantic Port, Oct. 13.—Twenty- | six members of the crew of the steam- er New Orleans, wrecked off the Vir- ginia coast, in a heavy dlow Wednes- day, were brought here today py a vessel which picked them up just af- ter their ship went down. Harry L. Kohlmand, the first officer, a native jot Germany, was drowned. Loan Your Money to Uncle Sam The United States is the richest, strongest country in the world, and it is not asking anybody, not even its own citizens, to give it money. It wants to BORROW your money. interest. There does not exist in the entir States government bonds. For thirty-eight years the United States has never issued a bond at a higher interest rate than 4 per cent. in 1879. Four per cent bonds of the government in ordinary times have sold at 114 to 119. A $1,000 bond of the United States government could be sold through these thirty-eight years at anywhere That’s the kind of a country th There is only one thing in the world better than actual gold or gold certificates, and that is the United States government bond.

MILLION LOSS TD GRAIN IN BROOKLYN FIRE New York, Oct. 13.—Grain intended for export, valued at a million dollars, is apparently a total loss. Fire raged for many hours in the Brooklyn eleva- tors. The fire was one of the worst in history on the waterfront. FOOD DIRECTOR OF ILLINOIS. CHARGES CROP IS HOARDED Chicago, Oct. 13.—-The farmer im- mune to the anti-hoarding law, is hoarding his potatoes, according to Harry A. Wheeler, food director of Illinois. Mr. Wheeler issued a warning that as the crop was the greatest on rec- ord, not mentioning the unrecorded crops of tens of thousands of gard- ens, the re riding to a {fall He said when they be ga to unload, the hoarded supplies , would come out all at once, and prices would drop to zero. He sug- gested that the farmer would bene- fit himself by allowing the movement to follow its normal course, Organization to Carry Security Sale to Success Ready to Begin Canvass Washington, Oct. 13.—Persons of all races, classes and conditions are supporting the sale of the lib- erty loan bonds, reports from many parts of the country show. “If the fatherland needs a spanking, | am ready to help ad- minister it, even though | do it with tearful eyes,” wrote the Rev. Christian Bohn, a German minis- ter of New Ulm, Minn., the scene of recent disloyal meetings. Greeks and Italians are among the most enthusiast’c buyers in Chicago. Many of them originally bought bonds under the impres- sion that they were contributing the money to the government with no chance of return. Everything is. in readiness for the big Liberty Loan drive which opens over the Slope, Monday. Committees in the various counties have been named and by Monday the machinery will be speeded up to make one of the most thorough campaigns in the history of this section. The nation is thor- oughly aroused over necessity of oversub: scribing this fund by several billions, so that the Central Pow- ers can realize that the nation’s heart _ ~ in the struggle. Following the big patriotic rally at the Auditorium this evening, the mem- bers of the city and county teams will meet at the McKenzie hotel to put the finishing touches on the plans for the canvass that starts bright ana early Monday morning.

WESTERN MILLS HARD HIT BY ~NEW RULING ‘Minneapolis, “Minn., Oct. 13.—John Pillsbury, head of one of the largest local flour mill companies, zaid today that Minneapolis flour mills would withdraw their salesmen from road and decline to book further or- ders until those on hand had been filled, because of yesterday's decision by the milling division of the food administration to curtail operation to 60 per cent of capacity. The new or: der, intended to relicve the grain shortage at eastern mills, will become effective tomorrow. “The ruling actually cuts our opera- tions more than would appear on the surface,” said Mr. Pillsoury, “because at this time of the vear we usually operate at full capacity to make up for slack.” Wheat receipts here today were 835 cars, the largest in a single day, since the government took charge ot operations, WANY INJURED WHEN TRAIN HITS TROLLEY Euel, Minn., Oct. 13.—A score of passengers on a street car running trom Hibbing to Virginia, Minn., were cut by flying glass and bruised by the crash here last night when the car tipped on its side, while crossing a “y" at high speed. Many of the passengers were bound for a dance, being held at the Buel village hah, given for the purpose of raising mon- ey to send to the Buel soldiers in camps. The injured were taken to a hos- pital here. Car traffic between Hib- bing and Virginia was held up all night, while a wrecking crew workea. the | |aeclis can scarcely last a month.

Al- though other parties are less active in opposition to Dr. Michaelis than the socialists, not a voice has been raisea against the Vorwaerts slogan “Mich- aelis must go.” Recent arrivals from [Berlin report that current gossip there is that Mich- chancellor's blunder in springing the disclosures of the alleged naval plot, against which according to the Na- tional Zeitung he was strongly advis- ed and his failure to make headway against the reichstag majority ap- peared to have lost him, the conserva- tive and pan-German support. 240 STUDENTS FAIL TO MAKE GOOD AT CAMP Ft.

A Difference of Opinion When Did the Rea ecccccccnccccccccccceen coco ooeooccoceoooocooooosses “Many people are anxiaus that the koard of university and school lands should invest the school en- dowment funds in liberty bonds. At the recent meeting of the newly organized board, the mat- ter was not discussed. “The new land commissioner, W. J. Prater, is of the opinion that they will have no funds avail- able for the purchase of liberty bonds when its present appliza- tion for loans have been paid. The shortage of the crop and the general need of capital in the state to secure food for stock has made the demands upon tre endowment funds of the state greater than ever. “The probabilities are that the deferred payments and interest will not come in as promptly as usual during the next year and that the applications for farm loans will be very much heavier and that the state will not be able to meet all the demands upon this fund.”—Chairman F. E. Packard in the New Rockford State Cen- ter, Oct. 9, 1917, My. Prater Speak? “1 am heartily in favor of ir- vesting any funds which might be available in the second Liberty bond issue,” said Mr. Prater to- night. “The university ,and schoc! land fund is low at this time, but it is hoped that there will be re- ceipts sufficient to permit the board to purchase a block of ths Liberty bonds. “It is impossible for me to sav at present just what the receipts of the department will be duriny the next few months. | can sa however, that the board is heav- ily obligated at this time to farm- ers and for bond issues. If t! board decides to invest in the bonds, and | believe it will, it will necessitate the postponement of some of these obligations for a short period. “The war must be placed above all personal interests. The bo: of our state have already gone to the front. They will need am- munition, food and clothing, ancl it is the duty of every man, wom- an and child to see that their needs are supplied so that this terrible war may be brought to a speedy and successful conclusion. “If by the state investing in Liberty bonds this can be accom- plished, | am in favor of buying PETROGRAD IS MENACED WHEN TROOPS LAND Germans Embarking Along Gulf of Riga and in Direct Line of Slav Capital SEASON MAY PREVENT ANY BIG OFFENSIVE Latest Maneuver, However, Is Full of Big Possibilities on That Front FIGHTING LANDING PARTY. Petrograd, Oct. 13.—The Ger- mans are working stubbornly to clear the entrance to the gulf of Riga, near Courland, says to- day’s official statements, The ac- tivities of the enemies in. land- ing forces were rendered difficult by moles constructed by the Rus- sians, and by bad visibility, The garrison of Oesel Island is fight- ing German forces which landed. The Germans landed a detach. ment yesterday on the coast of the Gulf of Tagalah, on the north of Oesel island, and near the vill- age of Sero on the southern part of Dago island, the war offi n- nounces. The Russian coast bat- teries were silenced by German dreadnaughts. The statement says all meas ~ ures have been taken against the invaders. While the British offensive has.come to a momentary pause, with the gains made yesterday everywhere held, a situation latent with big possibilities has developed on the Russian front.’ The landing of German troops on the islands of Oesel and Dago at the mouth of the Gulf of Riga is.repaorted today from Petrograd. ...-From the shore’s edge at Hapsal, opposite Dagu island, a railway line rune direet te Reval, the Russian naval base on. tte Gulf of Finland, and thence on® to Petrograd. oie : Road to Petrograd. 4 The islands in question have them- selves ‘been bases of no little import- ance to the Russians, especially aeroplane activities. Their seizure would undoubtedly hamper Russian naval scouting works, effectually close the Gulf of Riga to Russian use, and apparently offer an excellent starting point for a land expedition for Petro- grad if one should be contemplated by the German command. May Preclude Campaign. The lateness of the season has seemed to preclude any attempt by the Teutons to make a drive toward Petrograd this year. It has been pointed out, however, that such a move could probably be carried out with comparative ease at present, with the Russian armies in their admittedly dis- - organized state, whereas next spring there is government promise of a Rus- sian military regeneration after a win- ter’s organizing work on new lines. In Flanders the heavy rain which stopped Field Marshal Haig's drive yesterday before all his objectives were obtained, were continued today, increasing the depth of the sticky mud through which the British have strug- gled in their advances. The mud evi- dently was hampering the Germans equally, for they failed to deliver a counter attack during the night. The Jerman crown prince made several attacks last night on French positions on the Aisne front, but all the assaults were repulsed. LAND TROOPS, London, Oct. 13—The Germans have landed troops on the islands of Oesel and Dago in the Gulf of Riga, according to a Reuter’s dispatch from Petrograd. Oesel and Dago islands are at the entrance of the Gulf of Riga, and pro- vide easy access to the mainland over small intermediate islands. Dago is- land is about 200 miles from Petro- grad. Its position derives additional importance from the fact that it is almost at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, at the head of which is Kronstadt, which defends Petrograd. Threatens Petrograd. Oesel island is nearly 100 miles north of Riga, which the Germans cap- tured recently. The landing of Ger- man troops in the province of Estho- nia, which is near the islands, would threaten the outflanking of the Rus- sian line, and probably compel a re- treat on a wide section of the front, if indeed it did not open the way to Petrograd itself. A railway line follows the coast all the way from Hapsal, opposite Dago island, to Petrograd. Oecesel island, the larger of the two, is 45 miles long and has an area of 1,010 and a popula- tion of about 60,000. It has a diff. cult coast line in the form of lime- stone cliffs. KERENSKY ILL.
