PRICE FIVE CENTS YAMBURG TAKEN; RUSSIANS PUSH ONTOPETROGRAD Town Captured With Four Full Bolshevik Regiments Marks First Big Victory UNITED DRIVE PLANNED All Forces Opposed to Soviets Form of Government to Concentrate on Reds London, Oct. 18.—The capture of Yamburg marks the beginning of the push by troops of the Russian north- western army tinder General Yudenitch toward Petrograd, according to a dis patch to the Daily Mail filed on Satur- day at Libau. General Glazenapp com- manded the capture of the place and is reported to have taken four com- plete Bolsheviki regiments, 2,000 other soviet troops and the entire staff of the 10th Bolsheviki division, General Glazenapp’s losses are re- ported to have been 27 killed and 150 wounded, General Vladimiroff who was main'y instrumental in organizing the offen sive is quoted by the dispatch as say- ing that the German-Russian offensive came too late to stop the advance of the Russian northwestern army. ‘JOINT ACTION SOUGHT Copenhagen, Oct. 13.—Claiming to have checked the attack of Lettish troops, who landed at Libau from British vessels, Col. Avaloff-Bermondt, commander of the forces of the “Rus- sian general government,” has. since taken Riga and invited the Letts and Fstonians to confer with him at Mitau, The purpose of this proposed con- ference is, according to an announ men of Col. Avaloff-Bermondt, to’ p: vent further bloodshed and to. bri avons joint action against the Bolshe: viki. There has been no indication of an advance east of Riga by, the German- Russian forces and it seems probable the taking of the city will terminate the offensive for the time ‘being. ' The landing of 50,000, lettish troops at Libau was a new development in opera- tions along the Baltic. i BEN MURPAY IS BAGK WITH TWO WOUND STRIPES Former Bismarek Man Is Dis- charged With 109 Percent ‘Disability From Gas Lieut. M. B. (Ben) Murphy, for- merly of this eity, but more lately of California, France and Germany, registered at the Grand Pacific hotel last week. Lieut. Murphy who was; overseas over eighteen months, wears two wound stripes and was discharged from the service with 100 percent dis- ability added to his discharge. The former Bismarck man, a brother of Capt. H. T. Murphy of this city, was both wounded and-gassed and wears two gold stripes on his right sleeve. As a result of his gassing, Lieut. Murphy was considerably weakened physically and soon was again in the hospital suffering from influenza, diphtheria and a multitude of other illnesses. He has never completely recovered, but hopes that by taking a much needed rest on returning to his home in California that he will again ‘regain his strength. Lieut. Murphy enlisted as a private in. April, 1917, and in October of that year was commissioned a second lieu- tenant in the infantry. He sailed for France in June, 1918, after being sta- tioned at Camp Kearney for many: months. He went overseas in com- mand-of a company replacement in- fantry. He was wounded in the Ar- gonne offensive and also gassed at this time. Since he has been in the service, Lieyt. Murphy has been in six different hospitals, two in France, one in Germany and three in this country. ‘ Lieut. Murphy’was attached to the military police and his chief work with that organization was to map the roads leading to the front lines in the St. Mihiel and Argonne sectors. This was particularly dangerous work, most of which had to be done‘at night to: avoid drawing, enemy gun fire. These reports were consolidated .and then Lieut. Murphy would guide a division, or some other creasizgtion to their place’in the lines when they went forward to relieve other outfits. Lieut. Murphy left Sunday evening for California. $e i WINNIREG HAS GREAT _ STORES OF BUTTER Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 13.—Despite the high prices of butter in Western Canada, announcement has been made here that there is sufficient butter in store in Winnipeg alone to meet the ordinary requirements of this district until spring and that Manitoba’s sur- plus must seek other markets. This summer- according -to availa- ble ‘statistics, Manitoba dairymen shipped more thart two million pounds of butter at an average price of 53 cent’, which brought in about $1,- 089,000. It has been claimed that high prices this fall were partly caused by the Winnipeg strike in May and June, when it is claimed that lack of transportation facilities cost the farmers at least $1,000,000. During this period, it is said, that many cows were allowed to go dry: | public is also asked to notify the rail- WANDERER FOUND | NEAR STARVATION Ltitle Hope Held Out for Recov- ery of Bathgate Man Grand Forks, N.

Both the Northern Pacific and the Soo roads of this city will participate in the drive. The Dakota division of the North- ern Pacific will try to lead the entire system in preventing accidents dur- ing the two weeks of the drive. W-. E. Berner, division superintendent at Jamestown, ‘has sent notices to all employes and W. .A. McDonald, local freight and passenger agent is car- rying on the work in this section. In the last drive, the Northern Pa- cific ranked ‘fifth because of fourteen avoidable accidents. This drive, said Mr. McDonald today, will undoubtedly find the Northern Pacific leading all the railroads. In the notice to all employes, Superintendent Berner says: “Tt is hoped that every employe on this division will make it his busi- ness to do his work’ safely and see that his fellow employes do the same and by doing this there is no reason why the Dakota division should not stand at the head of the list when the drive is over.” % A safetygram is also sent each em- ploye by J. M/ Rapelje, general man- ager, at St. Paul, in’ which he urges every employe *of the road to take an active part in the drive to reduce accidents to a minimum. Each con- ductor will be responsible for his crew during the drive to see that no accidents happen and the same re- sponsibility restS with cach bridge foreman, section foreman, agent and other head of a group of workers. Will Use Posters. A series of posters will be placed in every) roundhouse, .switchman’s shanty, office, toolhouse and freight house. The first one will appear Mon- day and a new one will be displayed on October 16, 18 and 25. Every em- ploye will be tagged with a red sign on which‘is printed “Be Extra Care- ful.” These tags will be worn by the men during the two week safety’drive. The general public is invited to par- ticipate in the drive and any sug- gestions as to how accidents can be reduced or eliminated will be grate- fully received and acted upon. The road if they know-of any unsafe prac- tice or place along the railroad. The public is warned to be extra careful during the two weeks about crossing railroad tracks either on foot or in wheeled vehicles. “The purpose of the campaign,” said Mr. McDonald today, “is it in stil the habit of caution and safety in all employes andthe public as far as railroad property is concerned. We never want any accidents on our road at anytimé, but we want this to be particularly true during the two weeks drive that starts October 18. :Peri- odical drives likes'this do a great deal toward making safety a habit with our men.” 4 BIG FLAGPOLE IS PAINTED AND WILL BE ERECTED. IN N. P. PARK MONDAY MORN .The ‘huge: 100-foot flagpole which is to be dedicated to the men from Burleigh county who served in the war was painted white yesterday and it is planned to erect the iron staff today. The pole will be located in the Northern Pacific park and from its peak will be flown a large American flag: Both pole and flag were pur- chased thru funds to which everybody] in the county was asked to contrib- ute. a Because of its immense height, the pole will be imbedded in solid con- crete, probably to a depth of ten feet. It weighs almost two tons and lifting it inte) the air and putting it into place is expected to be a difficult task because of its weight and height. Frank Grambs will supervise this work, Capt, E.

MOTHER FINDS AND LOSES HER MISSING SON North Dakota Soldier Suffering Loss of Identity Shows Up for Moment MAY BE IN THIS STATE Wahpeton, N. D., Oct. 13.—Hurrying across half a continent to Huntington, Va., only to find that her long-miss- ing son, Harry E. Ross, a veteran of the Fighting First North Dakota who lost his identity as a result of shell- shock at Soissons in July, 1918, had again disappeared, Mrs. Clark D. Ross is again, at -her- home ’in'Des Moines, Ia., haunted with visions of her un- fortunate boy lying helpless and per- haps dying in a boxcar ‘on one of the countless railway sidings with which the middle west is dotted. The Polk county chapter of the American Red Cross at. Des Moines], hes written of this latest development to the Globe-Gazette here, fearing that young Ross, who is believed to have left Huntington, Va., in a box-car in an‘attempt to beat his way home, may again have suffered a lapse of memory, and that he may have wan- dered away from his original route with a view of finding his old asso- ciates in North Dakota. Adele Seyle, secretary of the home service section at Des Moines, says that October 1 a wire was received from the home service section at Hun- tington, West Va., asking transpor- tation for Harry E. Ross, wounded, shell-shocked, but giving his mother’s correct name and address. The Des Moines Red Cross had been making an exhaustive search for Ross since September, 1918, when there came the first news of his having been wound- ed in the battle of Soissons on July The West Virginia Red Cross section was, at once wired to hold Ross there until his mother, who left immediately for Huntington, could arrive. ‘The morning following Mrs. Ross’ departure, however, a wire was received from West Virginia ad- vising that Ross had again ‘disap- peared. : Mrs. Ross upon her arrival at Hun- tington found that the boy who had applied to the Red Cross there an- swered the description ‘of her” son who went overseas with the First North Dakota, but shé could find no definite trace of him in the city, and belief was expressed that he had left for’ Des Moines on his own hook, probably in a boxcar. “We are fear- ful,” writes Miss Seyle, “that if he has not had a relapse of mind, he may have some accident, or we may lose him ‘again for a long-while. If he should forget Des Moines and re- member North Dakota, we shall count on you folks, to keep close watch and to give this wide publicity through- out the state and locality.” CANADIAN CRIME SHOWS AN ALARMING INCREASE Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 18.—Capital crime cases in Canada are on the increase.
