ALUES OWE THIS NATION FOUR BILLION Washington, Nov. 1.—A credit ot $435,000,000 was made to Great -Bri- tain today by the treasury to cover British expenditures in this country up to Jan. 1, 1918. This brings the total loans to Great Britain to $1,860,- 000,000, and total loans to the allies of £3.566,000,000. The credit today is the largest ever ‘| sweeping over every state, fostered The food ad- | prising activity. And, the fact: is that things are being accomplished; prog- ress is being made.” Community Music. “Community Music” was the subject of Miss Fanny C. Amidon of the de- partment of public school music at the State Normal school at Valley City, in an address before the ele- mentary education section this after- noon. Miss Amidon discussed at some length the origin of community music, and its meaning. She borrowed Lin- coln’s well known phrase that purely and simply, community music is “for the people, of the people, and by the people.” ‘What is now being done in all parts of the United States for community | music, as outlined by Miss Amidon, showed that here is a great movement and augmented by these stirring times. In conclusion, Miss Amidon consid- ered the great educational value and democratizing influencés of commun- ity music and the great possibilities of the whole movement in North Da- kota. Session in Full Swing. With the second day's sessions well under way, the annual convention of the North Dakota Education associa- tion now is in full swing. Educators are here from every section of the [erate If the convention lacks any- thing in quantity, it certainly makes it up in quality, for the earnest, sin- cere men and women of North Dakota ; who have really made the schools what they are—not the educational; politicians or the political educators, but those whose life work is teaching and the betterment of the schools— ;are here in force. Everyone is thoroughly well pleased with the program; with the arrange- ments made by local committees; with ‘the meeting places. selected, the en- tertainment provided, and, most of all, the weather. O. W. Roberts is un- doubtedly the most popular man in North Dakota today. After showing us how beastly fall weather could be, he drew out of a pigeon-hole this lit- tle slice of ideal Indian sammer, which he had stored away for this especial occasion, and he is giving North Da- kota’s educators clear skies, radiant sun and balmy breezes to add to the success of their annual gathering. | PETITIONS DEMAND THAT GRONNA GIVE UP SEMATE. BERTH National American Association In- sists that, Pacifist Cease to Mis- ‘represent State Velva, N. D., Nov.'1.—Petitions have been circulated, simultaneously in {North Dakota towns . and ign, reports O. eonphs etary, of North Anjerican association, which he declares. perhaps, the most formidabls States. ‘The -petition which has ‘been prepared ands" being circulated by this association reads: ‘Whereas you have opposed in the United States.senate the adoption of the. war conscription law, and the adoption of other measures necessary for the successful: prosecution of the war, and have stated that you would work for the repeal of the sald con- scription act; : “And whereas these acts of yours do not represent the will of the peo- ple of the state of North Dakota and have brought great shame and humil- iation upon citizens of North Dakota; we the undersigned citizens of North Dakota hereby demand that. you re- sign your seat in the United States senate. The National American association is doing its, utmost to teach and pro- mote: patriotism, discourage sedition, expose treason, destroy anarchy, and unite in a fraternal fellowship the pa- triotic men of our country. Its head- quarters are at Velva, with Thomas T. Hiner as president. The drganization is said to be growing rapidly, and it may. be a potent factor in the politics of North Dakota at the next election, when it will attempt to support only Patriotic men for public office irregard- less of their party affiliations.

NORTH DAKOTA BOYS AT CAMP DODGE ANXIOUS 10 | RET INTO ROW OVER SEA Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 1.—That the North Dakota boys now at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Ja., are anxious to get into active service on the French front is the statement of Carl, Lee, member of ‘battery B, 338th field artillery, home on a 10-day furlough to attend to business matters. Mr. Lee was one of the first men to be drafted from Stutsman county, and states‘the life of an artilleryman is the best in the service. “The ‘boys are rapidly gaining knowledge of modern warfare, and now desire to take a trip across the pond and get a crack at the kaiser’s men,” says Mr. Lee. “If we are for- | tunate enough to get into active serv- ice in the near future the North Da- kota soldiers: can be depended upon to give an excellent acount of them- selves.” MINERS IDLE.

Berlin today reports the capture of two bridgehead positions from Italian troop:, which made a stand east of the middle Tagliamento and cutting off of an Italian force, which was retreating toward the lower course ofthe river. In the latter operation, 60,000 Italians were captured, according to the German claim, bringing the total prisoners taken to 180,000 and the number of guns to 1,500. TAKE 180,000 PRISONERS, Berlin, Nov. 1.—The Austro-Ger- man forces invading Italy have. in- creased the number of prisoners. taken to more than 180,009. They have captured 1,500 Italian guns... The foregoing information was of- ficially announced today by the: German. war office. Rit The German ‘statement says'the Teuton fourteanth army yester- day gained another great victory.

All the British guns with the Italian: ; army were saved, according to a Brit;, ish correspondent at Italfan headquar- ters,, who says that the “spirits, of, the British gunners are good: Lack of! transports, which would not be allot- ‘ted to them was their whole trouble. The correspondent, who accompan- ied the retreat of the. third Italian army from the Carso, in a dispatch dated Tuesday, says the troops. were cheerful and that firmness of com- mand could reorganize them into, a fighting force. The duke of Aosta, commander of the third army, was calm, and confident Monday night as has army had saved nearly all of its guns. The Italian general staff, the writer says, naturally has placed a ban on all descriptions of what happended dur- ing the last few days, but has per- mitted the sending of a description of the destruction of Italian stores. - Vivid Flare. “The sky was constantly springing into a vivid flare like an instantancous sunset, followed by deep, grumbling roars. Ammunition depots were blown up and bridges destroyed. The glare of explosives gave light of ghastly :| brilliance over the throngs of the re- treating army. Lasts Three Hours. + “A rainstorm which lasted three hours added to the hardships, already Severe enough, and must have meant death to many of those wounded while covering the retreat. But it delayed the enemy’s advance by swelling the rivers, softening the ground and mak- ing air reconnaisances and bombing raids on congested roads and railways impossible. “Such are the outlines of the story {of which full details are not per- mitted. “The situation undoubtedly is grave, but the silence which the interest of the army now impose must not be con- '] strued as an indication that things are worse than they actually are. The blow has been severe, but it will not crush Italy.” General Cadorna’s retirement before the invading Austro-Germans is slack- ening and the opposing forces are at grips at several points between Udine and the Tagliamento, where the Ital- ians will probably make their first de- termined stand. The German effort to oufflank the Tagliamento line from the Carnie Alps apparently is not gain- ing ground fast. While the Germans over-powered A and dispersed the Italian forces across the Isonzo, north of Gorizia, General Cadorna, according to advices from his headquarters, saved /his other armies virtually intact, and the third army, which guarded the Carso, suc- ceeded in getting away in its entirety with its guns and war/material. The Italian defeat did not become a rout, and General Cadorna’s strategy was to withdraw his troops from the Ison- zo and across the Fruili plains, to a position from which to make strong counter attacks.
