WESTERN aT tured Terrain in Cambrai Region. DEADLY ONSLAUGHTS . OF GERMANS WASTED No Sign in Italian Theatre that Austrians Contemplate a New Attack. With the British Army in France, Dec..5.—That Field Marshal Haig pre- vented the Germans from breaking through his lines on the Cambrai front discounts the small gains which the enemy hosts-achieved yesterday at a terrible cost in life. It means that yesterday’s critical period nas been successfally passed and that for the second time in four days Field Mar- shal Haig thwarted what is to be a German attempt to duplicate the Aus- tro-German performance in Italy. Germans were collected from the eastern theatre and various parts of the German line in the west. At La Vacquerie the enemy fought his way through the town, and.one party pen- etrated for some hundred yards into British territory. This,was the ex- treme gain. The attacking forces se- ,cured a@ very narrow strip of ground ‘a little north and south of ‘La Vac- querie, but the British still clung grim- ly to the high ‘ground forth of this place. The British commander voluntarily pulled back his line to the west and southwest of Masnieres to make it firmer. This morning the British line ‘was near the western part of Marco- ing Copse, but included Marcoing, a small triangular piece of territory, therefore has been sacrificed by the British. Since 8 o’clock last night the line has remained unchanged. A heavy concentration of German guns east of Gonnelieu suffered great- ly by the excellent British counter battery work. Things appeared much brighter in the British camp this morning. The battle probably has not yet run its course, but the defenders from now on will be in much better shape to handle the situation. AMERICA’S WAR PURPOSES. President ‘Wilson in a message to congress that is regarded as one of the most momentous declarations in American history, again has enunciat- ed, but more strongly than before, America’s purpose in the war. He also asked congress to declare war om Austria Hungary, the chief ally of Germany, but failed to include in his request Turkey and Bulgaria, Germany’s other allies, declaring that! they were “mere tools, and do not yet stand in the direct path of our neces- sary action.” : The president reasserted that Ger- man power as now constituted must be crushed and that then, when the German people have spokesmen whose words can be believed, “we shall be willing and glad to pay the full price for peace and pay it ungrudgingly.” “Let there be no misunderstanding,” the president said. “Our’present afd immedaite task is to win the war, and nothing shall turn us aside from it un- til.it is accomplished. Every power and resource we possess, whether of men, or money, or of materials, is be- ing devoted and will continue to be devoted to that purpose until it is achieved,” Hun Sacrifices Cease. The Germans, apparently, have ceased the reckless expenditure of lives of their troops in trying to blot out the Cambrai salient held by Gen- eral Byng’s forces. After four days of onslaughts that have been charac- terized as equalling any previously witnessed during the war, only the artillery now is engaged. Although the Germans claim .the capture of more than 6,000 British, prisoners in their attacks and also. more than 100 guns, reports from the scene of bat- tle, both from the British war office and from correspondents, have indi- cated that the German loss in men killed, wounded or made prisoner was a_ terrible price o Lead for the very all recovery of lost terrain. awhile it is expected further attacks will be delivered on the Cambrai séc- torr, which is a salient vitally mea- acing to the important railroad junc- tion of Cambrai, with its highways and railroads radiating in all direc- tions as feeders to the German lines north and south, the British troops are declared not to be in a better posi- tion to offer stronger resistance to their efforts, if such a thing is pos- sible, than heretofore. £ Astro-Germans Quiet. As yet the anticipated renewal by the Austro-Germans of their infantry attacks on a large scale against the * Italians on the Venetian front has not materialized. The enemy artillery however, continues active from the Asiago plateau eastward toward the headwaters of the Piave river. On the Treninto front the enemy has es- sayed an attack which was repulsed. Along the Piave valley the Italians again have dispersed ae bodies ating for attacks. cone attle: petween the Turks and the British in Palestine for the pos- session of Jerusalem has not peer ‘Taken all in all it Se Grieed ituation in this ref > Sekar Allenby's forces have carcley out small offensives in the nature 0 raids and killed or canines, the occu- ‘urkish trenches. baer general staff headquar- ters on the northern Lie eo TL captured by be aeaer Ensign Krylenko. ure headquarters capitulated without fight- ing, but Geferal Dukhonin, the com- mander in chief, who declined recent- - dy to carry out the orders of the Bol- sheviki to negotiate an amristice with ,tive manner. BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE TW SUES STATE. BOARD OF HEALTH) ROE Laws of North ‘Dakota are Not Constitutional ‘Wolford, N. D., Deé. 5.—George B.| | Vermilya of Towner has brought suit against the board of health of ‘Towner county to test the constitutionality of the compulsory vaccination laws of the state. Judge Burr on Vermilya’s petition has granted a restraining or- der returnable at the December term of the Towner county district court. Vermilya claims that the law is un- constitutional in denying public edu- cational privileges to children of ‘school age who have not been vac- cinated. WOMAN EDUCATOR PINNED BENEATH CAR FOR HOURS Miss Aagot Raaen, Steele County Superintendent of Instruc- tion, has Experience Aneta, N. D., Dec. 5.—Miss Aagot Raaen, Steele county superintendent of schools, lay pinned under her over- turned Ford car for two hours before a traveling medicine yender chanced along and with the aid of a lifting jack raised the machine sufficiently to relieve her of the weight, which was slowly but surely crushing the breath from her body. Miss Raaen was by this time bleeding freely from the nose and mouth, and, finding that he could not release her unaided, the} peddler was forced to proceed some distance to ‘obtain help. When the car was righted Miss Raaen found herself in condition to proceed on her journey, and, unless some internal in- jury should develop, She will be none the worse for her terrifying experi- ence. WALLA READS NOT “GWILTY: HALL WILL BE HEARD THURSDAY State Announces that Secretary of State will be Tried Imme- diately Following Pankow Eugene M. Walla, clerk in the auto- mobile registration department of the secretary of state’s office, was arraign- ed in district court this morning on a charge of embezzlement, to which he pleaded not guilty. Thomas Hall, secretary of state, bound over to dis- trict court on tue same charge, will ‘be arraigned Thursday morning, his counsel being unable to apear today. The state announced today that the Hall case will go on immediately after the trial of Henry Pankow, charged with murder, begun this morning, and that the Walla case will be tried at the conclusion of Hall’s trial. The entire morning was consumed in drawing a jury for the Pankow murder case, first on the criminal court calendar. GOPHER SHORTHORN BREEDER BUYS BIG . BILLINGS HOLDINGS Fryburg, N. D., Dec. 5.—J. C. Mills,} a well known Preston, Minn., breeder of Shorthorns, has purchased all of the holdings in Billings county of W. S. and William Hamilton of Bow- man, comprising 1% sections of good farming and grazing land. GERMANS UME OF AUST (Continued from Page Oné) hot with the former. Difficulty piled upon difficulty, and much as he hoped to avoid it, the president was forced to realize that Austria was being used by Germany in the United States as an active enemy and that nothing less than a declaration of war would clear the situation and leave the govern- ment perfectly free to carry on the war with Germany in the most effec- Spy System Austrian. The German spy system in the Unit- ed States today is known to be man- ned largely by subjects of Austria- Hungary, many of them members of the Industrial Workers of the World, and the recent attempts of that organ- jaztion to hamper the government’s war preparations are traceable to the the trails of the notorious on Papen and Boy-Ed leading through the Aus- trian consular service in this coun- try. Every turn of the government to- ward combatting the German espion- age system found evidences of how Germany was using Austria. Members of congress and many ad- ministration officials, realizing the sit- uation, have for months urged a dec- laration of war. SUSPECTS ARRESTED. Washington, Dec. 5.—Scores of Aus- tria-Hungarian subjects suspected of being enemy agents in this country will be arrested within a few hours af- ter declaration of war against Aus- tria. Many of these men have been under surveillance by repartment of justice agents foor months, but have not been taken into custody because of lack of definite evidence against preweccccee. enuine Victrola for can be had on terms of $1. a week and at this nominal expenditure you can enjoy genuine Victrola music and play your favorites from any of the Victor records,---more than 5,000 in all.

Wilson’s recommendation that a state of war against Austria-Hungary be de- clared, unnaturalized subjects of the dual monarchy automatically will be- come enemy aliens and be subject to summary arrest and internment. \ For months government agents have been gathering information on the hostile activities of Austrians, who were not subject to the restrictions imposed on unnaturalized Germans by| the state of war with Germany, and those caught in illegal acts were ar- rested and tried under the usual crim- inal statutes. Many others were free to travel and obtain information val- uable to America’s enemies, however, while keeping their conduct technical- ly within the law. Department of justice officials were pleased today over the president’s recommendation for legislation to ex- ‘tend enemy alien restrictin1.s to wom- en, some of whom are suspected of being clever aids to the German es- pionage system, and to authorize more drastic punishment for active alien enemies, such as penitentiary impris- onment and hard labor. COMMITTEE 1S TALKING WAR ON GENTRAL POWER (Continued from Page One.) royal Austro-Hungarian governments and that the president be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to em- ploy the entire naval and military forces of the United States and re sources of the government to carry on war against the imperial and royal Austro-Hungarian government and to bring the conflict to a successful ter- mination all the resources of the coun- try are hereby pledged by the con- gress of the United States.” / In the house the war resolution was brought out by Chairman Flood of the foreign affairs committee. The committee itself had been called to meet this afternoon to formally act upon the resolution and return it to the house for passage. The senti- ment for including Turkey and Bul- gariasin the list of recognized ene- mies persisted and there was promise of some attempts to amend the reso- lution. The committee of both houses, how- ever, will be guided by the state de- partment in the language of the reso- lution, and if the administration has its way, as it probably will, Turkey and Bulgaria will be left for the time when they come directly in the path of America’s action against Germany, as the president ex@ressed it in his address yesterday. While congress is working on the actual declaration of war, the execu- tive departments of the governments are setting in motion the machinery which will make the declaration ef- fective. The departmnet of justice began taking steps for disposition of the great number of new alien enemies the war declaration will create. The Many aliens are Czechs, Bohemians and others of the races which have been oppressed by the Austro-Hun- garians. Many of them to join the fight for freedom of their countrymen and realization of national aspiration have joined the American army, waiv- ing exemptions they might . have claimed as aliens. It is evident that some sort of an exception will be made for them, as the government hardly wishes to treat them as. ene- mies and still wisttes to protect itself as far as possible. The department of labor, which hat custody of alien civilians classed as enemies also was making its prepa- rations to care for them as may be necessary. Senator Stone of Missouri, one of the original “wilful 12” and stout op- ponent of the government’s war plans until war actually was declared, will pilot the Austrian war resolution through the senate as spokesman for the administration. Since war actually was declared on Germany, Senator Stone repeatedly has announced that the government |= has his full and unequivocable sup- port and the administration was so pleased with his attitude that it was decided that, as chairman of the for- eign relations committee; he should have charge of the Austrian war reso- lution. Senator Hitchcock, the next democrat of the committee, handled the German war resolution. T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE—I offer the following de- seribed residence lots for sale.

There are in the United States many sub- jects of Austria-Hungary who are op- posed to that government and sympa- thize with the cause of the United States. Outlining ‘a legislative program in the house today, democratic leader Kitchin said legislation should be con- fined as far as possible to appropria- tions and war measures, but that woman suffrage and prohibition con- stitutional amendments, he expected, would be taken up and voted on be- fore the Christmas holidays. He said conservation measures would be con- sidered. " A joint resolution drafted in accord- ance :with the views of President Wil- son and the state department, declar- ing a.“state of war exists” and “to have existed” since noon today be- tween the United States and the Aus- tro-Hungarian government, and direct- ing employment of the entire naval and military forces to carry on war against that government, was intro- duced today by Chairman Flood of the house foreign affairs committee. Wm. §. Hart at the Bismarck the- ater tonight in his new play, “The Cold Deck.” When Henry Pankow shot Charles Borchert in the former's ranch home near Anamoose on May 29 of this year the devil chopped another notch in his trusty “eternal triangle,” and more business was made for the December term of the Burleigh county district court, where Henry Pankow, brought here on a change of venue, was placed on trial at 10 o’clock this morning for | murder. Borchert died a day or two after \the shooting, in spite of surgical at- tendance which Pankow rushed to his home {mmediately after he had fired the fatal shot. The tragedy caused! much excitement about Anamoose, where all of the parties were well known. | Pankow for some time had suspect- ed Borchert of being an unwelcome suitor for Mrs. Pankow’s affections. | Bad blood had existed. Borchert for a while left the community. The} night of the tragedy he came back and about 11:30 called at the Bor- jchert home. Pankow’s friends claim that nearby was waiting an automo- bile in which Borchert hoped to car ‘Mrs. Pankow away. There were wc, Borchert entered the Pankow and a moment later fell bact lungs riddled with shot from in Henry Pankow’ drove post-haste to town, procured at-) ltendance for the wounded mun and| then gave himself up. igh! ors went | his bond.
