Series Would Be Taken BUNTING ONCE MORE IN THE WINDY CITY Metropolis of West Wins Honors by 3to 2 After Several Years’ Lapse Editor’s Note.—The winning of the bunting by the White Sox to- day calls attention to Charlie Comisky’s powers of prophesy. Before the opening of the world’s series, the owner of the Chicago Americans said: “We will take the first two; the Giants will take the next two, and the Sox will take the final two games and the series.” And that was the precise order in which the White Sox won.

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 15.— The Chicago White Sox are today knocking at the gates of Verdun while the New York Giants threw in their last reserves to hold the key to the world’s series. A defeat today for the Giants, and the American leaguers win the season’s baseball honors, while victory for the champions of the Na- tional league would give them an equal chance with the White Sox in the final contest tomorrow. “We Must Win Today.” “We must win today,” said Manager McGraw of the Giants, “and we can do it. The Sox have the edge, it is true, in that they can lose today’s game and be at evens with us in the fight for the seventh game, but I be- lieve we will win both games.” Using Southpaws. Manager McGraw wheeled his two lefthanders, Schupp and Benton into line, and waited until the last moment before making his decision which one would ‘open fire on the Sox. Both pitchers were ready.

EXODUS STARTS FROM PETROCRAD: CRISIS SERIOUS Gulf in Vicinity of Russian Cap- ital Is Well Protected by Mines ‘ NO EVACUATION IS FEARED IMMEDIATELY Petrograd, Oct. 15.—The German forces landed on Oesel Island, at the head of the Gulf of Riga are pushing east and south, placing in a difficult position the Russian forces and bat- teries in the district of Arensburg, at the southern end of the Island, and especially those on the Cerel Penin- sula. Military critics predict actions: in the Gulf of Riga, followed by de- velopment of the invasion to the mainland, on the coast of Esthonia, rather than by attempt toward the Gulf of Finland. The gulf is protect- ed by mine fields, which the Ger- mans would have to sweep under the menace of the Russian fleet. ‘Exhibit Alarm. The newspapers exhibit alarm at che landing of the Germans. The 3ourse Gazette says the situation of he country is more complicated bo ‘ause a solution must be found not only of the unsatisfactory state of iffairs, in the inner but of the prob- ‘ems presented by the closing of the| Gulf of Riga. The Volia says: “We are being led toward our cal- vary, but perhaps we shall find our “esurrection.” Exodus From Petrograd. The landing of the Germans has in- ereased the exodus from Petrograd, which has been noticeable since the fall of Riga. Since -Saturday, the ticket offices have been besieged, many persons offering large premi- (Continued on page two.) ISLAND CAPITAL AT RICA GULF IS.

Petrograd, Oct. 15.—German forces which landed.on the Island of Oelelo at the head of the gulf of Riga on Friday, occupied Arensburg, the capital of the Island, on Saturday, it was offi- cially announced today by the Russian war office.

Superior Positions. The British artillery now has su-, perior positions from which to work, as their master by this time have had ample opportunity for their heavy guns to be put in position on the dominating high ground taken in the recent advances. It thus seems prob- able that Field Marshal Haig will not delay his next stroke beyond the time when these guns have had an oppor- tunity to break up such concrete con-| struction, as the Germans have been able to construct in what they de- scribe as their ‘defensive zone,” which week by week is being forced! awsowct eastward. Weather Important. The weather, however, is a decid- edly important element in this con- sideration, as the continuation of hard storms not only keeps the ground in a state well nigh prohibitive for co- ordinated infantry advances, but in- terferes seriously with the vital aer- ial observation work. Control of Gulf. The situation on the Russian north-| ern front continues critical, with the Germans, overrunning the Island of Oelelo and rapidly pursuing their pro- gress in gaining complete control of the Gulf of Riga. Russian military observers expect speedy extension of the German operations to the main land, probaply on the Esthonian coast, whence a movement toward Petrograd might be pushed. Petrograd itself is considered in no immediate danger, as hundreds of miles of ground still lie between the Germans and the Russian capital. The possibility of further naval develop- ments through the Gulf of Finland, of bringing the German base of opera- tions still nearer the present seat of government is being considered, how- ever, and the Russian fleet is being (Continued on Page Three.) ; Capt.

AMERICA FICHTS FOR GERMANS AS FOR THE BRITONS Task Today to Bring Freedom to Teutons No Less Than for English in 1776 THE DUTY OF FORMER SONS OF FATHERLAND | Valley City. NX. D., Oct. 15.—Even | as the colonists in fighting the tyran- ny of King George in 1776, fougit for: the whole English race, co do the Democratic peoples of the earth, in: fighting the mad militarism of King | Wilhelm fight for the whole Ger- man people, declared Chief Justice A. A. Bruce of the North Dakota su- preme court in addressing a district) Liberty Loan rally here Friday night. “We are nol making war on tho! German people. but upon an aristo- cratic German government which knows no law but the law of might, and openly asserts that no treaty or contract is of binding force, if only one is strong enough to break it,” said Judge Bruce. “It is a war of right against might; of honor against dishonor. “Just as our American Revolution- ary fathers fought the battle of all: Englishmen in fighting against the English Tyranny of George the Third| and in doing so brought freedom not | only to America but to England it self, so we are fighting the battle of the great masses of the Germans| themselves. We are merely asking the Germans in America to do what Englishmen in America did in 1776.) They fought against the aristocratic government of their old fatherland because that government was false to democracy and false to its trust and they fought against relatives and friends. They did this because strong: | er than the ties of kinship and lang-; uage and birth, was the call of hu-| manity and of Universal comrade- ship. We must choose between the) political philosophy of che and} the kaiser and the political philosophy of Chri: Christ taught the gospel | of a universal father and of human brotherhood. He prayed that “the) meek,” the simple folk, might inherit the earth. Nietzsche and the kaiser preach the gospel not of rights or of human brotherhood but of the strong. est battalions Christ taught that lizerty and opportunity and hope was for all men. The Prussian aristocrat teaches that all the world is for Ger- many and all Germany is for the Prussian aristocrat. The Prussia doc: trine of the Divine Right of might and of the German Superman is opposed to all that our flag stands for and to all that America means. “We do not believe in war for war’s sake. We are, however, neith- er too proud nor too cowardly to fight We prize liberty more than peace. We place honor above mere comfort and sordid gain. We are not willing that our ships should be driven from the seas, nor are we willing to stand ~ (Continued on page 4.) Bismarck Council U. C. T. Ask iRemoval of Senator Gronna and More Loyalty From Gov. Frazier Members of Bismarck council of the United Commercial Travelers in resolutions adopted at their meeting last Saturday evening scored Gov‘ ernor Frazier for his letter to peace officers virtually protecting the I. W. W. members from search; his luke warm attitude toward the first issue of the liberty loan and his invitation to the People’s Council to launch their sedition in North Dakota. The resolutions are identical in text with those adopted several weeks ago at Minot. They reflect the sterling Americanism of the com- mercial travelers who make their headquarters in Bismarck. one grand council at St. Paul heartily en- dorse this action and it is likely that other councils throughout North Da-{ kota will adopt similar resolutions. The resolutions follow: Admonish Frazier. Whereas, our country is at war with Germany; And Whereas, the president of the United States is entitled to the un- qualified support of every Amerizan citizen in the successful prosecution of this war; And Whereas, our governor, Lynn J. Frazier has shown by his official acts and publ tatements that he is not in accord with the will of the peo- ple of this loyal state; And Whereas, our governor did not give unqualified support to the liberty bond campaign, and has only given half-hearted support to the war con- scription act; And Whereas, he attempted to guar antee to the notorious so-called “Peo- ple’s Peace Council’ an asylum in this state; And Whereas, by a pu order promulgated at the request of Arthur LeSueur, attorney for the I. W. W.’s, he has attempted to retard the en forcement of law against the I. W. W.’s in this state, and has thereoy re- tarded the protection of the lives and property of the inhabitants of this state; Now, Therefore, Re It Resolved, by the United Commercial Travelers of America, Bismarck Co il . that we demand of Governor Frazier that he withdraw his order issued to the peace officers of this state con cerning the I. W. W.’s, and that Gov- ernor Frazier prohibit any meeting or conventions in this state by the so called People’s Peace Council, or by council or association. Be It Further Resolved, that it is our opinion that the person holding the highest. state office in North Da- kota should in these matters set an example in loyalty and patriotism to the people of North Dakota, and should not by his public statements and conduct set such an example as will retard loyalty and patriotism in cers and our such anexample as has given, and will give, aid and comfort to the imperial Hohenzollerns of Germany. Asks Gronna to Resign. Whereas, our country is at war with Germany; And Whereas, it is the duty of ev- ery American citizen to give unquali- tied support to the President of the United States in the prosecution of this war; And Whereas, the United Stat Dakota, opposed the United States senate the adoption of the war con- scription law, and the adoption of other measures necessary for a suc- ssful prosecution of the war, and ated that he would work for a, repeul of said conscription act; And Whereas, these acts of United States Senator Gronna do not repre- sent the will of the people of the state of North Dakota, and have brought great shame and humiliation upon the citizens of North Dakota; Now, Therefore, Be it Kesolved by the United Commercial Travelers of va, Hismarck Council No. 325, in meeting assembled, that he hereby de- mand that Senator Gronna resign his seat in the United States senate, and that his place be filled by a loyal American citizen who understands the duties of American citizenship in time of war, and who will give un- qualified support to our government in ution of the war; And Fe It Further Resolved that we hereby endorse the patriotic and in- telligent conduct of our senior United States senator, Honorable P. J. Me- Cumber, in his unquolified support of the measures and things necessary for the successful prosecution of the war ,and we affirm that the acts and conduct of Senator McCumber in the United State te are truly repre- sentative of this loyal state and its people.

From campaign, headquarters. in every quarter of the country in the ‘district, squads of solicitors rolled out over the countryside with instructions to reach every man, women and child with their message of patriotism, Re- ports from every section declared that the intensive publicity campaign of the last week gave promise of success for the big loan in this district. In every part of the district “Liberty Loan Day” was observed by the schools. As a. feature of the campaign for $16,000,000 in Minneapolis, a monster papier mache tank will advance along a painted trail down the principal business streets as the fund swells. At the end of the trail, if that point is reached, it will smash into and crush the kaiser,” also of papier mache structure. “Buy bonds!’ * That was the slogan of the teams ‘which started out this morning to sell $100,000 in Bismarck and $46,000 out- side of the city.

H. Steele,” said Mr. Hall, “and we hope to have others of that amount. We do not anticipate that any salaried em- ploye at the capitol will take than a $100 bond. We should ily dispose of $10,000 worth of bonds here. All work at the capitol will be suspended from 2 to 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and state offi- cers and employes will gather in the house chamber for a liberty loan meeting, to be addressed by prominent state, county and city workers. The heartiest of enthu- siasm for the loan is being shown, and the state house committee is confident of good results. Land Commissioner W. J. Pra- ter has called a special meeting of the board of university and schoot lands for Saturday after- noon, when the question of invest. ing state funds in the liberty loan will come up. The board has been asked to subscribe to $250,- 000 worth of bonds. Its receipts from land contracts should reach $500,000 by Jan. 1. Last year the current receipts were about $700,000.
