WAY SPOIL BROTH Entrance of Jamestown and Devils Lake a8 Contendors for Con- “ “+ vention Splits Vote RACE FOR PRESIDENCY STILL BETWEEN THREE This afternoon, on the eve of the general’ business session of the N. D. E. A., at which the next meeting place of this big organization will be se- + lected, it begins to look as though too may cooks might spoil the broth for Minot, which early in the session seemed to have a good chance to win the 1918 convention from Grand Forks. Both Jamestown and Devils Lake entered the lists today as contendors for the honor, which had lain between Grand Forks and Minot. Neither Jamestown nor Devils Lake, it is pre- dicted, will land the honor, but each will draw enough support from. Minot to boost Grand Forks chances. It is contended that the Red River valley, as usual, will stand solid for a con- vention in its own territory, while central and western North Dakota will divide their support. between Minot, Devil# Lake and Jamestown. Three years‘ago, in Bismarck, Devils Lake bid for the convention, and it very nearly got away with it, losing to Grand Forks by a very slight mar- gin. All of the towns named, except Grand Forks, are handicapped by the lack of hotel facilities, and in some in- . stances adequate convention halls are lacking. i Race for President. The race for the -presidency still seems to ‘be betweeh White of Wills- ton, Black of Ellendale and McMullen of Valley City. Black’s friends have gone into the game with a vim, and Black literature is in general circula- tion. Friends of McMullén and White are working quietly, and the effective. ness of their campaign will not be evi- dent until the balloting begins tomor- row morning. Talks to Minoters. Chairman. Lewis F. Crawford ad- dressed Minot normal school alumni at the Grand Pacific at nogn. Dr. E. F. Ladd of the-agricultural college and Dean BE; J. Babcock, acting presi- dent of the: university, held informal court during:the noon hour at the Mc- Kenzie, where hundreds of alumni greeted their former instructors. Dr, Babcock modestly denies the rumor - that’he may be made permanent head | £ of:-the university. He believes there nothing to the report; and ‘that no election will be made by the regents today. # MIONIGHT FIRE. BURNS HORSES AND. DESTROYS URGE BARN; BIG LOSS A studborn fire which broke out shortly before midnight last night in the large barn at the foot of Fifth street, ‘south of the tracks, cremated three horses owned by Eric Sundquist andcompletely destroyed the struc- ture,'which was owned by Ira W. Grit- fin. ‘A loss of. several thousand dol- lars above all insurance resulted, The barn itself was protected to:the ex- tent Of $3,000. ‘It contained a consid- erable quantity of hay and grain, which ‘was lost, and-the three horses were heavy draft animals, probably worth $1,000. “The origin of the fire is unknown, The. barn: was enveloped in flames when an alarm Was turned in, and the fire department on its arrivel found a hard task confronting it. The fire men fought stubbornly until 3 o'clock this. morning. before the last spark was.extinguished, By unusually good work, Chief Currier’s men saved the old Methodist Episcopal church build- ing, which had. been moved onto a lot adjoining. the barn. * (TALIANS WITH UNITED «+ INTACT FAGE NERY __ (Continued trom Page <)re) prisoners and more than 1,000: guns.

HOLDING BACK ENEMY. ‘Italian Headquarters, Wednesday, Oct. 31.—As the bulletins of General ‘Cadorna indicate, the Italian troops, perfectly reorganized, are holding back the enemy seven miles west of Udine. ; ¢ The Germans and Austrians did not succeed in their plan of rushing be- yond: the Isonzo into the Friuli val- ley and enveloping the third Italian army, which occupied the region of Gorizia and the Carso. Although they_ broke. the Italian line from Pelzzo to Tolmino, the resistance offered by picked Italian contingents who oi- fered themselves for the supreme sac- rifice, so delayed the southwestern march of the enemy that the third afmy had time to cross the middle and ‘southern Isonzo in orderly re- treaty ls d “tS main body, of Italian forces is intact, ready to face the invaders ‘in the counter offensive. which is being prepared. ' Italian cavalry has entered into ac- tion on a large scale for the first time since the beginning of the war. They have obstructed the advance of the enemy. LONDON AIR RAID.
