No. 174, GG WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE FOR BISMARCK Committee Pledged to Put the Capital City Over the Top Next Week MUST SUBSCRIBE $175,000.00 No Child’s Play About $282,000 Allotment for Burleigh County Every man woman and chi!é in Bur- leigh county owes Uncle Sam $16.9 for War ‘Savings Stamps. Lurleigh is just this mrch per capita behind in its subscription to ab; bonds. Tne ~ allotment is $20 per capita, and Bur- . leigh’s per capita subscription is $2.01. At this, the county stands iqnth in the state. The trau>le with the War Savings. Stamps, the fucleigh county committee finds, is that the people have been prone to regard them as a 25-cent instead of a 25 doiia propost-| tion. As a matter of fact, the War Savings Stamp drive is ihg. stiffest problem Uncle Sam »nzs offered Lar- leigh county since we go* into the The allotment for ibis county is $2 000, and for Bismerck city $i 75.005. Both are larger than the quotas set for any of the provions Liberty loans. | “and the W. 8, S. committee feelz that | the time has. come w.:n the coun.” must be aroused io tne importance of! this Baby Bond driv. Must Go tie Limit. At a meeting of the generat W S S. committee for. Bismarck in the Commercial club rooms last evening, a special committe was appointed the task of sending Bismarck over the top. This committee will launch an intens- ive drive next Monday morning, and before the campaign is closed every man. and. women in Lismarck.. will have been given an. opportunity to subscribe, not. only . their quota, but their. limit. Because~ there are .so! many who cannot take their $20 per capita allowance, there .are many, who can afford it, who must double, or treble or quadruple their allotment. ‘The fact that some of-our. biggest and brainiest business men are going the limit is proof not only of their patriot- ism but that they consider ; $1,000 worth. of; baby. bonds,'a good invest- ment. - It ‘$1,080? worth: of “baby’.bonds is a good buy for the man who can af: -ford thém, $100 worth are. equally ona for ‘the amian who cantot ‘afford The committee which is going over ‘the top with Baby: Bonds consists of L.

It is described as the biggest of a series of pan-German victories, and the pan-German newspapers do not’ disguise their delight over it. Reports of the appointment of Admiral von Hintze as foreign secretary are accepted as final by the pan-German papers, which contend that this involves no change in policy. This conten- tion, however, as well as the as- surance that Von Hintze is not a pan-German, is false, accord- ing to the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Von Hintze is described by him as’a swash- buckler ‘and: an intimate and creature of Admiral Von Tir- pitz, the pan-German leader. Socialists Balk Much excitement was caused in. the .reichstag ‘Tuesday “bya rumor that Von Hintzé ‘had been” appointed foreign secretary. Af- ter the. socialists had informed the president they were not pre- pared to vote thd war credit un- til they knew what foreign policy Von Hintze was going to pursue it was agreed, as a way-out of a threatening situation which might possibly result from the majority socialists joining the minority group in rejecting the war credit, that the full sitting should be adjourned so that the house could go into committee for a confidential discussion. The result of this gathering ‘was that the semi-official an- nouncement of Von Hintze’s ap- pointment took a tentative form, saying merely that he had been “named” as Von Kuehlmann’s successor. | DECISION MADE MONDAY Paris, July 11—Decision to ac- cept the resignation of Foreign Secretary Von Kuehlmann was taken Monday at a conference at German general headquarters, which was attended by the em- peror, Chancellor von Hertling (Continued on Page Two.) east American aviators have heen ac- tive around Chateau Thierry. Austrians Retire. Under Franco-Italian pressure the Austrian troops in Albania have re- | tired beyond the Berat-Fieri line in ' the direction of the Skumbi river and lbasan, the nearest natural defense northward. The evacupation of Berat, j announced from Vienna probably was due to the Italian progress around | Fieri and the French advance between Lake Ochrida and the Tormorica_val- ley up which the Austrians also are re- treating pursued~by the allied forces. The fighting in the Macedonia thea- tre has spread eastward and the Bul- garians are making strong attacks ;north of Monstir apparently to draw allied attention from Albania, The Culgar attacks were repulsed with heavy losses by the French. There is great danger that the Bulgarian lines east of Lake Ochrida willbe outflank- ed should the allied forces reach the Skumbi at Elbasan. Crisis in Reichstag. Reports that Admiral Van Hintze, a strong pan-German, was to be named as successor to Foreign secretary Von Kuehlmann, resigned, have caused a small crisis in the Reichstag. The so- cialists have declined to vote the war credit, which cannot be passed with- out their aid until the new secretary announces his policies. Apparently Von Hintze had been selected, but the action of the, socialists brought, forth a more guarded, sémi-official.gnnqungce- ment which declared that the admiral of Longpont and penetrated Corcy.
