Be Staged Tomorrow FOR FIGHTERS AND GUESTS General Public*Cannot Be In- cluded Because of Large Number ‘of Soldiers Everything is «set for Bismarck’s first home-coming demonstration inj honor of returned fighters from the} great world war to be staged at the wfasonic -temple tomorrow evening. Preparations have been completed for serving 150 soldiers and their guests, | 300 in-all; two orchestras have been engaged to furnish music during the feasting and the dancing. Because the Yanks and their guests will number 300 or more, the commit- tee in charge has found it impossible to arrange for the reception of any elvilians. Each -soldier is privileged to invite one guest. No other invita- tions will be issued. The banquet! will begin promptly at 6, and it is ex-! pected to consume an.hour to an hour and a half. Dancing will start immed- lately after the close of the feast and will continue until everyone is “danced out.” Boys Will Parade. Because there has been such a gen- eral demand from the. civilians who are excluded from any other participa- tion in the home-coming for an op- portunity to see our fighting men all assembled in one body, the commit- (ee has requested that te soldiers | for mat the Auditorium at 5:30 Tues- day evening and march theace down Broadway to the Masonic temple. The Bismarck Elks’ band has been asked to meet at the Commercial club | rooms at 5, prepared to march to the Auditorium to play for the soldiers’; triumphal procession to the Masonic] temple. Capt. E. G. Wanner of the home guard will handle tie parade de-| tails. It has been suggested that the Yanks’ guests, ‘should the soldiers consent to parade, may assemble at the Masonic temple at 6, or at the Auditorium at 5:30 to fall in behind the soldiers, with the Ladies’ Auxil- iary, the Red Cross Canteen girls and other patriotic organizations. Asked to Dress Up. The fighting men are asked to ap- pear in uniform, if possible. No ot- er card of admission will be required. The home-coming is tendered to every man who fought of served in any branch of the military or naval serv- ice. of Amética.;or any. of “her. atlies. Bismarck has a number of men who served with . Canadian contingents, and they. are ‘assured the same cordial welcome which will be offered Uncle Sam’s boys. Notification cards have been mail- od all of the soldiers who have regis- tered to date. If there are any in B.s-} marck or Burleigh county who -have| failed to register or whom the noti-| fication cards do not reach,' the com: mittee. wishes: them! to understand; that they are covered by a general! invitation and that they are expected | to be home-coming guests of tie city! tomorrow evening. | pA ee, | LANGER CALLS ‘UPON BUSINESS MEN.

ARTISTS RETAINED Chicago, March 17.—With the dis- posal of Howard “Rowdy” Elliot to the Oakland club of the Pacific Congt league, Manager Fred Mitchell of the Chicago Nationals is counting on three eatchers—Bill Kilefer, Bob O’Farrel and Tom’ Daly—to handle, the Cubs’ pitchers in the National league pen- nant race. Killefer is Mitchell's “ace” in the line of backstops. He ranks with the best in the lague and probably will he ask- ea to do the bulk of receiving. 0’- Farell has been advanced to second string man, while Daly will be held in reserve for emergency! and in addi- tion will be called into the game as a pinch hitter. tg Mitchel! believes that O'Farrell. will develop into one of the real stars of the game.

Paris, March 17.—Under the agree- ment which the Germans made at Brussels the United States will receive eight German ships which will ready to go to sea within four days. The vessels are the Zeppelin, 15,200 tons; Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm, 17,000 tons; Graf Waldersee, 13,000 tons; Patricia, 14,666 tons; Cap Finisterre, 14,500 tons; Pretoria, )13,200 tons; Augusta Victoria. ‘he giant Imperiator of 52,000 tons, also will go to the United States. At the present time the Imperiator is stuck in the mud but it is believed she can be re-floated. The total ships made available to the Allies under the agreement num- ber more than 700, approximating 1,500,000 tons. The vessels going to the United States are passenger ships on account of the American desire to use them for the transport of troops. Those going to France and England immediately are cargo vessels in neu- tral ports in South and Central Amer- ica and the Dutch East Indies. They will be permitted to,leave with cargoes for Germany with German crews, but under Allied flags. When ships put out from German ports to be handed | ,j. over they will be manned by Germans but on arrival in Allied ports the crews will be replaced by Allied crews and the Germans returned. There is available in England for immediate movement to Germany ‘approximately 30,000 tons of pork products, 5,000 tons of beans, 5,000 tons of rice and 15,000 tons of cereals. The United States has in Rotterdam and on the way there approximately 75,000 tons of breadstuffs. A summary of the agreement shows that payment by Germany will be made by freight hire accruing to the j Germans for the use of the shipping; and part from credits that Germany may continue to establish and main- tain in neutral countries; part from German exports; part frowt the sale of German owned foreign securities and part by the use of German gold. The Germans agreed to place a deposit of golttin-the Nationat*Bank:of* Belgium at’ Brussels for use: as collateral. Nearly Four Million Tons London, March 17.—The Associated Press learns that, while the total ton- nage of German shipping to be sur- rendered cannot be accurately ascer- tained, it may be estimated roughly at three and a half million tons, includ- ing-ships in neutral ports. As Italy already is in possession of. the Austrian shipping, the manage- ment. of a very small portion of the German shipping will be entrusted to that country. France will receive big ocean-going steamers to the extent of 75,000 to 100,000 tong. The balance jwill be divided equally between the | United States and Great Britain. The United States is not interested in cargo tonnage, of which Great Britain will probably manage three-fourths and France the balance. i Monthly Rations Set Brussels, Thursday, March 13.—A monthly ration for Germany of 370,- 000 tons of foodstuffs was fixed today by the Allied commission) which is in this city conferring with a German delegation as to the turning over of German merchant shipping and Ger- KENYON COX, New York, March 17—Kenyon (* noted artist, died at his home here today, aged 68 years old.
