tne | | The Weath 4 ——_— THE BIS 248 THIRTY SEVENTH YEAR, NO. PENITENTIARY PURCHASE BONDS WILL MO | Babe in Arms Five Stories; Delirious Mother Leaps Out of Window cf Chicago West ’ Many Come Forward Voluntaril) and Ask Permission to Par- « ticipate in Loan SOME PRISONERS MAKE THEM OUT TO CHILDREN Convass Is Continuing Energeti- cally and Results Are Very Gratifying TO REACH MILLION. Fargo, N. D., Oct. 19.—The sale |. of liberty loan bonds in Cass coun- ty will reach a million dollars by Saturday, it was announced by the liberty loan committee today. Up to today $960,250 had been sub- scribed, Cass county’s quota is $850,000. Fargo bought $695,000 worth of bonds. Inmates of the state penitentiary have come forward and as individuals subscribed for Liberty Bonds, setting an example for some of the slackers on the “outside.” There are no “nerv- ous patriots” among them either. They just felt that they wanted to help and feel that despite temporary incarcera- tion ‘they too have love and devotion forthe nation. The committee that canvassed the in- mates and staff at the penitentiary went }away enthusiastic over the spirit shown. Many of these men subscrib- — ed to the first loan and also contributed to the $50 raised for the Red Cross war benefit. Buy Them for “Kiddies.” - One of the fine aspects of the parti- cipation in the Joan ‘by inmates is the fact that ‘several prisoners who ‘had dependent children subscribed in the name of dependent children. Warden. Talcott..spoke feelingly, to The Tridune ‘today when discussing the attitude. of the. men and their general feeling. toward. the. war. These voluntary subscriptions present a study in prison psychology waich is ffiteresting penologists. the world ov er. The men came in and asked per mission to devote a portion of theit earnings to the Liberty Loan. Of course consent was readily given. + County Sale Success. The campaign is continuing unabat- ed, despite the fact that Burleigh county’s quota is more than -sub- sortbed. H. P. Goddard has received no oficial reports from centers out- side of Bismarck, but yesterday Wing had raised $3,500 of its $5,000 quota. Laldwin will-hdve.no difficulty in pur- chasing $5,000 worth of bonds, ‘Moffit raised ‘$3,000 the first day and assur- e# were received from Driscoll and McKenzie that no difficulty would be experienced in getting their quotas. Wilton will go far beyond its quota. Yeam Members Praised. .. Too high a tribute cannot be paid to the city and county team members who made this liberty loan drive such a success. It will be impossidle to see everyone and those who desire to pur- chase the bonds can do so at any bank or postoffice. “Buy Bonds and Back our Boys,” is the call that is being answered to- day from everywhere in the great northwest. The whole great country is rallying : to the cry to get behind the men that are going to tight for our rights, our liberties and our homes. It is never going to be said that the people of the United States of America let their men go into battle unprepared to ‘ight or without the shoes and clothes and food that they must have, or the means to take éare of them if they are bowled over. Not Asking Money. 4 The great truth is being realized that the government is not asking anyone for money, but wants only to borrow it and is giving for it the fin- est security that exists in the whole world. And patriotism and loyalty to- day are words that are synonomous with “Liberty Bonds.” Men everywhere in Minnesota, in North Dakota, South Dakota and Mon- tana, in northern Wistonsin and in northern Michigan are being told nor to let the sun go down on them with- out having their names on the Lib- erty Bond suoscription lists and they are heeding it nobly. The Liberty Loan campaign in the Ninth Federal Reserve district has started so well and with so many evi- dences already that counties and townships are going to oversubscribe that it all spells “Success and Honor for the Great Northwest.” ee | RUNS DOWN COYOTE | WITH JITNEY; FORD WASN’T PEACE BOA7z - McKenzie, N.

The peace by concil- iation, "which~we desire, has’ nothing in common with that of Lord, George and Asquith.” . KEY TO POLICY. Copenhagen, Oct. 19—The key to the policy of the german government in refusing to make any definite state- ment of peace terms is furnished by Herr Hock, a socialist member of, the Reichstag. German newspapers report that Herr Hock told’ yesterday , that Dr. Von Eethmann Hollweg be-/ fore his retirement as imperial chan- cellor declared to the socialist mem- bers of the reichstag that as the chancellor he could not commit him- self, but must pull out in the peace negotiations whatever could be 09- tained for Germany. Herr Hock cited this as proof of the ambiguous game the government is playing with its various peace declarations.

JAMESTOWN AND NEW ROCKFORD HIGHS TO EVACUATION OF © REVAL ORDERED: FEAR OFFENSIVE Sailors Keen to Fight But Not Allowed to Meet Superior Foe EXODUS TO INTERIOR OF RUSSIA COMMENCES Defenses of Gulf of Riga Practi- cally Abandoned by Slav Defenders BLAME BRITISH FLEET, London, Oct. 19.—The Daily Mail condemns what it calls the failure of the British fleet to pre- vent the German fleet from be- coming master of the Gulf of Riga and demands that “the admiralty explain this humiliating display in the Baltic.” After recalling the successes of the British submarines against the Germans in the Baltic in the sum- mer and autumn of 1915, the newspaper says: “The Germans have accomp- lished all they were prevented from achieving in 1915, and they have done so without a single blow being struck at them by any arm of the British navy, a navy far stronger than it was-.two years ago, and recently reinforced by the addition of the American fleet.” Petrograd, Oct. 19.—The govern- ment has definitely determined to move to Moscow in the very, near future, according to an announcement made by Minister of Public’Welfare Kishkin today.’ The newspapers pub- lish an official announcement that the evacuation ‘of the fortified: port,‘of Reval, on the Baltic at’ the; entrance to the Gulf of Finland, has ‘begun; ' The schools at Reval ‘have ‘been closed, and the inhabitants ‘of, the icity are being sent into the interior : q of Russia. Reni ‘ Keen: to Fight. The sailors of the main Baltic. fleet are reported to be keen to fight... The men at Kronstadt are demanding that the ships be sent ‘out to meet. the Germans, but the, government ‘ig in- derstood to have taken the’ position that as the enemy forces are of supe- rior size it would be disastrous ,to leave Petrograd undefended. Two German torpedo boats’ were sunk in the mine fields in Moon Sound yesterday, the war office announces. After the capture of Riga by the ; Germans preparations for the removal of the government to Moscow were begun. The failure of the Germans to develop their offensive after taking Riga, as well as approach of winter weather, making open campaigning impracticable relieved the fears for the safety of Petrograd for the near future. Last week announcement was inade that the preparations for trans- ferring the seat of government had been stopped, as there was no pros- pect that such action would be neces- sary, at least for some time. Ancient Capital. The new offensive operations of the Germans, resulting in the capture of Oesel and Moon islands, and. the threat of an invasion of Esthonia again changed the situation, however, and may be responsible for the de- cision to remove the government to Moscow, the ancient capital. The tur- pulent political conditions in Petro- grad, the presence there of large num- bers of extrem and agitators may also have influenced the cabinet. Reval, a town of about 65,000, 200 miles southwest of Petrograd, is a naval station, and with Helsingfors esd Hongo on the northern coast. of Finland, guards the approaches to the guit. The landing of German forces on the Esthonian coast would menace this town from the rear. 5 In the battle of Wednesday, in CLASH ON GRIDIRON Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 19.—The!

Oct. 19.—Russian officials here had no official dispatches today on the moving of the proviison- al government to Moscow. Ever since the removal of the capital from Petro- grad was first ussed, Russian of- ficials here have reiterated that the Kerensky government felt it could work with fewer hampering influences in Moscow than in Petrograd, which is the center of opposition.
