GENERALLY FAIR. BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918. soi LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS MIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR. COLLAPSE OF CERMANY IS - BELIEVED NEAR Complete Isolation of Hun Power. By Desertion of Her Allies. t AUSTRIAN PREMIER SHOT Emperor Tells People to Accept | New Rule Without’ Resist- ance to Revolutionists. ABDICATION DISCUSSED. Copenhagen, Nov. 1.—The ru- mors of Emperor William's abdi- cation are at least premature, the ‘Berlin Vossische Zeitung says in ‘Thursday's issue. It adds, how- ever, that the abdication question was discussed at the last meeting of the cabinet. It is generally supposed, the newspapers say, the emperor will ‘be presented with an abdication proclamation. 4 London, Nov, 1—The complete iso- lation of Germany as a result of the desertion of her allies is commented on here as the outsanding feature in the latest devedlopment of the “colos- sal drama of 'victory.” “The effect of this development is regarded ‘almost everywhere as bringing peace near, although in some quarters the warn- ing is raised that the German army apd navy still exist and in the hands of desperate men may be dangerous. The. general impression, however, is that Germany. sooner or later must accept‘any terms the allies impose. MILITARY REQUIREMENT. Paris, Nov. +.—The armistice terms to be submitted to Germany will’ be confined. entirely. to military: require- ments except that-it will be brought out clearly that they are’ conditioned generally on President Wilson’s prin- ciples. panier i LEAVES FOR HEADQUARTERS.” Copenhagen, Nov. 1.—Emperar' Wil- belm has left Berlin for German grand headquarters. REVOLUTION IN HUNGARY. (By Associated Press.) Copenhagen, Noy. 1.—A successful revolution has taken place in Buda- pest, arid the people have taken over the government, according to ‘Count Karolyi;"says a dispatch to the Ber- lin Tageblatt. “Revolution in Budapest and’ nation- al council took over government. Mil- itary and police acknowledge national council] completely. Inbapitants re- joising. Signed, Karolyi, president na- tional council.” ' RENAME STREET. Amsterdam, Nov. 1.--A Prague dis- patch to the Tageblatt of Berlin says the Grabin, the finest business street in Prague, has been renamed Wilson street.

The count was \'Ned- by a revolver shot while he was walking. Count . Tisza was _promenading with members of his family when killed. A woman member of his party was shot. Count Tiserza, whose life has been reported to have been taken by as- sassination was one of the four men instigating the war. A Magar and Hungarian to the core Count Tiresza was pro-German and - aimed constantly at the supremacy of Hungary over Austria in the dual monarchy.

Hungarian parliament during his leadership and in 1943 fought at least three duels with: political opponents. In January of that year, he wounded Count Karolyi, ‘a lifelong .and bitter opponent, in a duel at Budapest.

While the report admits the progress made by the new board under the direction of John D, Ryan, it comments unsparing- ly.on the shortcomings of tne old or- ganization and recommdnds court mar- tia! for one arny officer concerned and criminal proceedings for others. Lack of competent direction by offi- cers of the signal corps is blamed. Reports Delay. The report finds there was delay in procuring airplane models from the allies, that plans frequently were changed to the embarrassment of con- tractors—that some manufacturers, well qualified, could not get orders, while others, with few qualifications, if any, did get them. Profits in some instances, Mr. Hughes reports, were enormous, although Attorney General regory points out that 60 per cent of these taxes reverts to, the government in the form of excess taxes.

HILDRETH GIVES OPINION One very determined U. S. express agent and one very positive U. S. bone dry statute stand between Associate Justice James E. Robinson and one quart of “flu cure,” aged in wood, bot- tled in bond and guaranteed eight years old. The flu cure reached the Bismarck Northern LExpress office Tuesday, ‘night, and it was consigned to Justice James E. Robinson. The league su- preme court member called for his remedy Wednesday: morning, and Agent Walton positively refused to turn it over to him without an affi- davit from his doctor to the -effect that the aged jurist was-in poor health and must have “flu cure” to make him well. Judge Robinson declined to pro- duce the affidavit, and the whiskey is still there. Law Must Take its Course. The law is no respecter of persons, jn the opinion of Col, M. A. Hildreth, U. S, district attorney, who. speaking from Fargo yesterday; stated that un- less Justice Robinson can produce an affidavit of ill health he will be in the same position as North Dakota citi- zens of lesser dignity who. have en- deavored to import whiskey and other drinkables, and who have run athwart the state and federal bone dry statutes. “qf Judge Robinson can ‘produce an affidavit from his. physician stating that liquor is needed for medicinal purposes, he. is ‘within his rights under the federal law,” said Attorney Hild- reth yesterday. “The federal law per- mits such shipments to be made upon such affidavits; if an affidavit is not made, the law will apply as in the case of any other citizen who shipped liquor into the state.” Violates State Law. Grrespective of the legality’ of the so-called bone dry law of 1917, which Judge Robinson has declared faked and illegal. liquor cannot be import- ed into North Dakota for medicinat purposes by individuals. A statute enacted in 1913, and which was not repealed by the act of 1915, provides that such importations may be made only through a registered pharmacist. Competent local authorities are of the opinion that eliminating the bone dry act of 1917 altogether, North Da- kota ig still “dry” territory under the amended federal liquor statutes, which prohibit “the carrying in interstate commerce of intoxicants consigned to territory in which the sale or rmanufac- ture of the ‘same is prohibited. The North Dakota constitution’ prohibits the sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages, and the state is therefore made “bone dry” except as to intoxi- cants to be used for medicinal, scien- tific, mechanical or sacramental pur poses, through the operation of the (Continued om Page Seven.) power by the new airplane board were) TED IN | UT AIRPLANE MS’ SAYS HUGHES ernment financing of $1,400,000 has prospects: of profits of $4,000,000;. the Ford Motor Co. will mzxe a profit of $5,900,000 on an investment of not jmore than $11,800,000.

NO CONGRESSIONAL RACE First Only District in Which| Bout is Expected to Prove i Real Interesting._ In addition to the main pout sched-| uled next Tuesday, Lynn J. Frazier, title-holder, versus S. Joseph Doyle, for, the heavyweight political cham: pionship of North: Dakota, there will be several preliminaries which will prove only second in popular interest. Chief of these is the Macdonald-Niel- son battle. Neil C. Macdonald, the incumbent, has been connected in an official public capacity with the ad- ministration of North Dakota educa- tional affairs for many years. Miss Minnie J. Nielson of Valley City, his opponent, has been equally promi- nent as an educator in a career ex- tending over a quarter of a century, and is also very well known as a club woman and as a leader in women’s patriotic enterprises. Macdonald has; waged a very bitter fight against his opponent, attacking her on every con- ceivable ground. and Miss Nielson has parried every blow. The women of the state particularly have rallied to ‘Miss Nielson’s banners, and it is ex- Tuesday's election will be the largest North Dakota ever has polled, and Nthat it will decide ‘the issue. H . Then there is Fisk versus Bronsan.; Charles J. Fisk of Minot, former chief) justice, retired two years ago in the; league landslide. is seeking to come | back as a candidate endorsed by the independent republicans and the dem- ocrats on a nonpartisan judiciary bal-| lot. His opponent is Harry A. Bron- son. formerly of the University, of} North Dakota Jaw school; a member! of the senate for several terms and} jhow serving as first assistant attorney, general under William Langer. This! campaign has been dignified as com-| pared with any of the others. The! league. which is supporting Bronson, has advanced arguments similar to those which defeated Fisk two years ago. Fisk is running on his record and his standing as a jurist of a quar- ter century's experience. Fisk, per- sonally, had only begun his speaking tour when the flu: halted all public meetings. This fact may cost the Mi- not jurist some votes which he could have won by personal contact, but his friends belfeve his chances of nosing first under the wire are very good. There is really no congressional fight éxcept in the First district, where the battle lies between Fred Bartholomew, Grand Forks hotelman and democratic nominee, and John M. Baer, league cartoonist, former. demo- cratic postmaster at. Beach, and who had resided in Fargo just long enough to establish a legal residence when, as the league’s choice, he crowded out all the old stalwarts in the First. dis- trict in the special election necesst- tated by the death of the late Con- gressman Henry T. Helgeson. About three thousand. democrats voted for Bartholomew in the primaries, while Baer led Judge Henry G. Vick of Caya- lier by only 2,000.

John Wingate, one of the best known and most popular of Bis- marck’s young men, passed away at a local hospital at 6 a. m. today.

London, Nov. 1.—Negotiations between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian military authorities for an armis- tice are proceeding. Fighting has already come to an end. Paris, Nov. 1.—The Austro-Hungarian commander on the Italian front, in asking General Diaz for an armis- tice, argued that under such an understanding Venetia would be evacuated without damage to growing crops and property. fave (By Associated Press.) Austria’s armies shattered by the blows of the British, French and Italian are fleeing pell mell on a front of more than 100 miles from the Brenta river east and so uth to the Adriatic. Apparently the enemy has lost all power of resistance on the important sectors of the front. Field Marshal Haig has again taken up offensive operations south of Valenciennes and reports early Thursday. his troops making good progress On the French front and on the American sector east and west of the Meuse only artillery has been active.

North- east of Monte Grappa the Italians have forced their way through the Quero Gorge and are moving up the Piave valley toward Bel- leuno, further enlarging the wedge between the Austrian armies in Venicia and those in the mountains. ‘ There have been no further reports of the progress of the plea of the Austrian army command for an armistice.

The schedule} calling for the entrainment of 2,800) men for Fort Winfield Scott, Calif, | will go into effect November J1, just! three weeks late, owing to the flu.! From November 11 to November 15 the entire contingent will be entrain-| ed. The majority of the men will! travel on four special trains, two of! which will be made up in Fargo, one! running over the Great Northern and! the other over the Northern Pacific, and two to be made up in Bismarck,! running over the Northern Pacific. All select service men from north and south Soo points will mobilize in Bis-| marck, where a special Northern Pa- cific train will be made up for them. Aside from tke fact that the entrain- ment will be just three weeks late, the days of entrainment and order of movement will be the same as origin- ally announced, On the same days, trom November li to 1%, North Dakota will entrain 351 men for Camp Dodge, Ja. This is an entirely new call, only received at the adjutant general’s office last even- ing, and county quotas and calls to local boards have yet to be sent out. This call is designed by Provost Mar shal General Crowder to take up 100 per cent of North Dakota availables in the old classes. In view of the fact that the influenza epidemic his taken a considerable number of these young men, the September 12 registration must be encroached upon to fill this quota. i Next Monday and Tursday, a month] overdue, the 320 men who are to re-} ceive vocational courses at the North} Dakota agricultural college will move} on Fargo. These three movements will wind up all business in connec- tion with the 1917 and early 1918 reg-| istrants. A call for approximately 5.| 000 September 12. 1918, select service men is now said to be pending, and it may come at any moment.’ The adju- tant general, therefore, has directed that the physical examination of Sep- tember 12 registrants must proceed iwthout delay, and there will be a gen- eral resumption of this work on the part. of county boards next Mon-|i INCREASED FIRE; With the American’ Expeditionary Forces Northwest of Verdun, Nov. 41, —Greatly increased artillery fire be- ban this morning all along the front’ of the American first army. 7 Resume Offensive.

ATTACK IN EAST, London, Nov 1.—An gllied. attack on Germany in the east was foreshad- owed by a member of the war cabi- net in a speech last ¢vening at the American officers’ club in London. ‘The Armistice with Turkey might have been signed early.” But we held the Turks on a string.” He explain- ed that the allies were committed to a free Arab state with a separate cap- ital. Other places as necessary tc the Arabs must also be surrendered. The allies have been assembling ships at the mouth of the Dardanelles for some time. Mr, Barnes said that he understood the vessels had start- ed through the straits. and that there, does not seem to be anything now to- prevent their going up the Danube to Germany’s back door. If they are to defend their territory, they must now divide their armies so-as sto protect the back door at which we are vow knocking. CONTINUE TO RETIRE. Italian Headquarters, Hast of the Piave), Nov. 1.—The Austrian troops continue to retire hastily in the plains, and the allies are capturing mauy more prisoners, PROGRESS RAPID, Washington, Nov. 1.—Ofticial rome dispatches today describing the vic- torious sweep. of Italian and allied armies that are demolishing the Aus- trian front say the lines are moving forward in such great leaps that it is impossible now to name the towns re- taken or to count prisoners captured. Sixty trousand held by the enemy to work on defenses in occupled terrt- tory already have been released. With the Austrians everywhere in flight {t is said to be impossible to foresee where the few enemy divisions that escaped will stop running. CAPTURE BRIEULLES.
