Is Old-Timer. As lobby yist, memder of the steering committee, assistant conductor of the secret league caucus, or in any other capacity in which Mr. Townley may use him, Anthony Walton is expected to prove a very. valuable servant. He]. is an old-time leader in North Dakota qarmers’ economic and political move- ments. His personal following throughout the state probably is larg: er than that of any other prominent _leader. He is generally regarded:.as a type of the Nonpartisans who will form tho basis of a reorganization which is believed certain ‘to“come sooner or later after the fallacies of the extreme socialist program upon which the league . now is entbarked have been exposed, Just at present, however, Townley has in: the, whole. nogthwest no more! faithfal lieutenant than Anthony Wal- ton, It was Townley who maile Wal- ton president of the state Equity’ so- ‘eloty when: the big chief decided to remove the offending 'M.

Jt is to Townley that Walton, whose sincerity none is inclined “to doubt. looks upon as the Moses who is to lead the-wandering farmer ‘children of Israel into ‘the promised land state jownership, single tax and,al er Utopian gauds. And ‘Anthony wants it strictly un- derstood that he will be very much among those present when tho 16th legislative assembly convenes. CONGRESS OFF FOR SHORT VACATION Washington, D..C., Nov. 22.—Con- gress today started 6n a ten-day va- cation, the first respite which this congress has enjoyed since it con- vened December 3, 1917. Leaders and many members are preparing for the great reconstruction and appropria- tion program which must be squeezed into the session ending March 2 next.

Capt. Baker last week filed a very vigorous protest with the federal fuel administration against an _apparent| discrimination in the distribution of} anthracite from the head of the lakes. Up to November 9, North Dakota had received Lut 49.55 per cent of its win- ter's allotment of anthracite and South Dakota but 50.70 per cent, as com- pared with 58.64:per cent and 59.57 per cent respectively for Minnesota and Wisconsin. North Dakota has been alloted only 8.40 per cent of the anthracite which is to come into these four northwestern states;; South Da- kota gets but 6.97 per cent, while; 41.59 per cent goes to’ Minnesota and 43.02 per, cent to Wisconsin. “NATIONS LEAGUE THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD” | (General Burleson to turn them back.

Sen. Lewis of Jlinois immediately thereafter intro- duced @ resolution calling for govern- ment ownership of telegraph, tele- phone, railway lines, steamship lines and all other public utilities. ~“In my opinion it,is part of a plan to fasten on this country. government ownership,” said Senator Kellogg. Senator Watson of lidiana, republi- can, in a speech attacking the presi- dent for taking over cable and express lines, suggested that the cavles were taken over to suppress news of what is discussed at the Denes, conrorenee: conference.

Senator Martin explained to me his opposition to compulsory military training in schools, to universal mill- tary service and to a continuation of war ‘bureaus. “We Don't Need Guns; “We Do need Plows.” “Every one of the war bureaus, mu- nition plants and such administrations ag the railroad, war industries, ship- ping, emergency fleet and the rest should be allowed to terminate as soon as possible. “Some of them may well], be closed up right away, the others as soon as they finish the work they have begun, such o8 the. wreat price guarantee of the food administration. “They cogt heavily, and are not ne- cessary in’. peace.

We cannot spend money uselessly on departments, bureaus, administrations or experiments. The war costs must come down, and sharply.” It may be explained that this con- gress appropriated more money than all other American congresses put to- gether. Senator Martin’s committee was the congressional “court of last resort” in making up these appro- priation bills. “But we are at peacc now,” said Senator Martin. “There won’t be an- other war in fifty years. ‘Maybe not that soon. We have no business go- ing on spending more money. on war preparations. The country does not need universal military service nor compulsory military training in pub- lic schools. I am oposed to both. This country doesn’t need them.” Senator Martin himself is a veteran of the Civil war, and was a cadet in a military ‘academy before he enlisted. He comes from Virginia. He is prob- ably the foremost democrat in the senate who will oppose any attempt ‘by McAdoo’s railroad administration to keep contro! of the railways. Also, he told me, he is opposed to govern- ment ownership of the telegraphs and telephones and wants Postmaster WHEN BOARDS END WORK.

C., Nov. 22.—Saving atid tele KATE O’HARE HAS WEEK OF LIBERTY LEFT Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare, grad- uate of the Socialist school of Wal- ter Thomas Mills, has just seven days, counting today, in which to surrender herself to the United States marshal in Fargo. The five-year sentence to the fea- eral prison for women at Jefferson City, Mo., imposed by Judge C. F. Amidon when Mrs, O'Hare was found guilty of sedition in federal court, Bis- marck, last December was confirmed vy the United States court of appeals at Denver, Oct. 28. The 30-day’ period allowed for her to surrénder expires Thursday, Nov. 28. “I have no information of the where- abouts of Mrs, O’Hare,” Col M. A. Hil- dreth, Fargo, United States district attorney who prosecuted her, said this afternoon, “but I am inclined to think | that she will come. If she does not, she will ‘be arrested on sight, and her} bondsmen in North Dakota will be our Just $7,500.” SLACKER RECORD DRIVE IS GOING IN GREAT SHAPE Hundreds of f Idle D Dises Will Be Set at Work Grinding for Our Boys TALE OF WIDOWS MITE The slacker record drive in Bis- marck is going big. Mrs, A. G. Jacobson, president of the Thursday Musical club, which has charge of the campaign in this city, reports that members of the club be gan an active canvass this morning. and that they are meeting with the finest possible encouragement every- where, One member within an hour after beginning her canvass has collected two score récords in good condition and ranging all the way from “Alcx- ander’s Rag Time Band’ 'to a Chopin nocturne played by Paderewski. Ev- eryone has been found ready to glve, and records whjch long have lain idle in music-machine cabinets have been brought to the light and soon will be speeding on their way to grind out good cheer and entertainment for the Yanks in Hunland. One affecting instance was related this morning. A canvasser called at the home of a widow who is all alone in the world since she gave her son ;to his country several months ago. “Oh, I think this drive is such a splendid thing,” she said. “Only a couple of weeks ago, I had a ‘letter trom my boy, and he said, ‘Mother, everything is going fine, but we've only Bot two good records left for our plained old phonograph, and the world doesn’t seem to be jogging along just right’ I put on my wraps the min- ute I read his letter and walked down town and picked out two dozen good records, everything I could think of that a lot of boys in camp would en- joy, and I sent them off that same day. I haven’t much money now, but 2 want fo go sometiing :for thish; cause, because I know from actual ex- perience what it means for the boys.” This patriotic little lady contributed the price of one good record. Others who haven’t records or needles or un- used falking machines which they can give, may do their bit by contrib- uting any amount from one dollar up to the purchase of new records. Any member of the Thursday Musical club is authorized to receive such subscrip- tions. And those who have too many records that have been played until the novelty has worn off, dance rec- ords that have lost their charm, or, ‘better still, perfectly good, new peppy jazz stuff and grand opera and popu- far songs, are aske? to set them aside and notify the Thursday Music clud. PLANTO RESTORE MEN TOOLD JOBS America’s altwere ‘plan to restore to employes in the military and naval service the seniority rights which they sacrificed when they entered the serv- ice, according to an announcement made here. As far as possible, preference in reemployment and __ reinstatement would be given.to soldiers and sailors as quickly as they are mustered out of the service, officials said, The order said the following prin- ciples will govern: A.—In the, case of an employee hav- ing established seniority rights so far as practicable and where the employee is physically qualified he will be re- stored to suchyseniority right. B—In the case of employees who have no seniority rights under_ existing praceices, a consistent effort will oe made to provide employment for them when mustered out of military serv. ice.

MARK SURRENDER OF MIGHTY HUN FLEET T0 ALLIED NATIONS Fallen Giant of Sea Who Had Refused to Fight Goes Down to Ignominious Defeat—Twenty Miles of Hun Craft, Heart of New Navy, Now in the Hands of the Allies (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) Edinburg, Nov. 21.—(Thursday)—Germany as a naval power |ceased to exist today.’ \The heart of her mighty fleet, 14 ships of line, seven light cruisers and 50 destroyers, surrendered to an armada of British, American and French vessels, the greatest fighting force that ever stood out to sea. The minutely detailed program of submission was carried out according to plan. The German warships strung out in a line almost 20 miles long, appeared at the rendezvous at the appointed. time and were escorted into the Firth of Forth between a double line of allied vessels. F ‘WONDERFUL SIGHT Although the wonderful naval spectacle was the same as a peace time review, and evoked little enthusiasm, the haze blotting out the horizon, American and British officers could hardly credit ehe evidence of their eyes. Men animated by the spirit of Lawrence’s “Don’t give up the ship” and Nelson’s “England expects every man to do his duty,” could not conceive of such an inglorious ending as that to which the enemy fleet was committed. An Associated Press representative heard an officer standing on the deck of an American superdreadnaught say: “Even the poor old Spaniards, knowing they had no chance, came out of Santiago.” For the most part officers and men were silent in the midst of the climacteric event in history, which Americans realized, left America the second greatest sea-power. They seemed to feel a sort of contemptuous pity for the fallen giant of the sea who had refused to fight. SIGHTED AT 9:20 A. M. The German ships were sighted by the allied column at 9:20 o'clock, following their British pilot, the light cruiser Cardiff, which, with destroyers and other small craft had ranged ahead of the allied fleet. The enemy studiously complied with Admiral Beatty’s orders, and it was well for their own sakes that they did. Every vessel that steamed out to meet them floated a battle en- sign and was ready for immediate battle, with all men and officers at their stations. : READ TO FIRE 1 Five American battleships, the New York, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Florida, were ready to fire every battery upon word from Admiral Rodman. “There'is notthe slightest possibility of any-trouble; may we are ov erlooking no chances,” said Admiral Rodman. WEIGH ANCHOR The fleet began to weigh anchor at 1 o’clock this morning. The American vessels fell into line behind Admiral Beatty’s craft. The rendezvous was fifty miles distant, and the ships gauged their speed to arrive at the appointed place at 8 o’clock. On the bridges the ships’ companies were. hidden behind bulwarks of steel: When dawn broke the sea was again ‘tovered with a blanket of mnist. Eyes straining through the murky haze were at last f=. warded. Off the starboard bow the Cardiff. sailing an observation kite baloon, came steaming in. Behind her came the German ves- sel Seydlitz. After her came four others of the same type, the Dersslinger, Von der Tan, Hindenburg and Moltke. Immediately following them were nine dreadnaughts, the Frederick der Grosse, flagship of Rear Admiral Von Reuter, the Koenig Albert, Kaiser, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kaiserin, Dayern, Markgyras, Prinz Regent Luitpold and the Grosser Kerfurst. Three miles to the stern of the battleships came seven light cruisers, the Karlsruhe, bearing the ensign of Commodore Harder, the Frankfurt, Emsden, Dernberg, Brummer, Koln and Bremen. Then came another gap of three miles, and German destroyers appeared, steaming in five columns abreast, with ten destroyers to the column. SIX MILES DISTANT Six miles separated the allied columns and squarely between ' them the Cardiff brought her charges, all steaming at the stipu- lated speed of 10 knots. As ordered, their guns were in regular fore and aft position and as far as powerful glasses could de- termine there was no signs to provoke suspicion. Until all the major Ships had been followed up in the enveloping allied columns the latter never for a moment.relaxed their alert watch. Over the Germans circled a British dirigible which acted as eyes for the hiaias ships. i -s FOG LIFTS Whn the German ships had reached the western end of the flanking columns the allied ships put about in squadrons. Quickly reforming their line they proceeded to escort their enemy into the Firth of Forth. By noon the fog had disappeared and a grand view of the vast array of war craft could be seen.. The captive Germans were piloted to anchorages assigned to them and British ships from southern columns closed in as guards. The northern columns steamed up to the other anchorages. TO BE INTERNED The enemy vessels will be interned in Scapa Flow. Part of the crew will remain for maintenance work and the remainder will be returned to Germany soon. Whether American ships have a further part to play in connection with this internment and guard- ing the high seas is a question being discussed by officers and men of the United States squadron. Admiral Beatty’s historic signal after the fleet had been moored at the appointed place, was: “The German flag is to be hauled down at 3:57 and is not to be hoisted again without permission. ON WAR BASIS Washington, Nov. 22.—Until every German warships intended. to be delivered to the allies is so delivered, the navy will continue to be under war regulations. With two floatillas of submarines now interned in British ports, navy officials estimate that nearly all of the German under- seas fleet has been turned over. SCHEIDEMAN RESIGNS Basel, Nov. 22.—Philip Scheideman has resigned as minister of finance in the new German government, and his place has been taken by Herr Lansberg, secretary of’publicity, art and- literature.
