In- ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1924 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [hia THREE BATTLES|HATE AND DISTRUST RULE HERRIN; NEIGHBORS LIVE IN FEAR OF ONE ANOTHER, CARRY GUNS READY TO SHOOT FAIL TO GIVE FULL VICTORY Results Not Decisive as Chi- nese Troops Clash in Three Different Sectors AIRPLA ARE USED Ss Increased Military Movement Seen as the War Lord’s Armies Clash Shanghai, China, Sept. 5—(By the A. P.)—Fierce fighting in three sec- tors between the armies of rival Chinese military governors, contest- ing for possession of Shanghai, con- tinued unabated today but added fury was given to the battle by movement of airplanes into the war zone and the reported concentration of Chinese battleships for action along the Yanste river. The major engagements appeared to center between Kiating Sien and Liuho, about 30 miles northwest of Shanghai. The outcome of this en- gagement was still doubtful, both sides employing artillery, according to the Lungwha military headquar- ters of the Chekiang military govern- ment. Troops were proceeding from the Lungwha headquarters of General Lu Hsiang, Checkiang Thutson, to r force the Governor's defending troops at Swangtu, 15 miles west of here where fighting continues. There is considerable jockeying for position in this quarter, according tb an observer who returned from Nan- siang today. The Lungwha headquar- ters explained this with the an- nouncement that: the Chekiang troops were taking steps to check an es- pected enemy swing southeasterly. Along Canal The enemy movement would be elong Brand canal with the immedi- ate objective as the Stunkiang and Hangchow railway. Any movement toward the southeast would make the battle front ertend into Chekiang province, the seat of Lu Hsiang’s government. Entrance of airplanes into the con- flict was signalized today when three planes passed over the western Shanghai district this afternoon, The planes were evidently cruising in the direction of the Lungwha aviation grounds. Naval craft from Peking was reported moving down the Yang- The vading forces from the north. Fukien fleet was reported in the Chusan archipelago squtheast of Shanghai several days ago, to inter- cept any aid from Chang Fso Li Manchurian war lord. Chang, who is supporting the Chekiang governor, was expected to dispatch aid to Han- chow by sea. Look To Foreign: Aid Gen Wu Pei Fu, military chief of the Peking government, has denied that any of its soldiers are fighting with the Kiangsu forces. While opposing armies battled in sunny, maturing grain fields within 18 miles of this city without deci- sive results, the populace continue to rest upon the assurance for security lent by the comforting presence of more than 20 foreign battle craft in the harbor and organization of a land force cordon to defend the city should the opposing forces be successful. Dr. V. K. Wellington Ku, minister of foreign affairs in the Peking gov- ernment, today replied to representa tions made by representatives: of for- eign powers concerning the fighting around Shanghai, He sent to the interested legations the assurances of the Chinése government that precau- tions would be taken for the lives of foreigners in the battle zone. CONTINUE ASSAULT Shanghai, (5:30 p. m.) Sept, 5.— Attacking Kiangsu forces in the Liuho sector, about 80 miles north- west of Shanghai, continued their assault all last night and late this afternoon appeared to be preparing for another round of continuous fighting. This information was brought to the city by a competent eye wit- ness who visited the battlefield front during the afternoon. The firing was becoming more intense as the hours passed this afternoon, it was stated, ‘both sides using artill- ery, mainly 3-inch guns. Explosive artillery shells were used for the first time today. Large numbers of machine guns likewise, were placed in service. Their was ng evidence that cooperation was being accorded the Kiangsu forces by the naval contingents reported assembling at Nanking for action down the Yangste river. No not- able gains were made by either side in today’s fighting around Liahu, it was reported. The Kiangsu troops appeared to- day to be concentrating on that sector, ‘heavy reinforcements being brought up from the attackers’ base at Quinsan, Due to the heavier fighting the number of wounded has been in- creased considerably though it con- tinues out of all proportion to the extent of the gun fire, the Chinese still wasting ammunition by care- hey fighting in characteristic fash- jon, Upwards” of 60° wounded soldiers | ‘were counted, being carried back to (Continued on page 3) eS ~ AIRPLANE VIEW OF “BLOODY” HERRIN. DEFENSE TEST PARADETOBE HELD IN CITY Demonstration of What It Means to Prepare for Armed Defense to be Given ALSO BIG MEETI. Patriotic Meeting to be Held at the City Auditorium Here on Sept. 12 A parade and patriotic meeting at the city Auditorium will be two of the features of “Defense Test Day” September 12, according to plans now under way by the local com- mittees, who are cooperating with the War Department and other agencies,’ Nothing spectacular is planned, but a serious demonstra- tion of what it means to prepare for war and what Bismarck and Bur- leigh county could do in case of necessity is the aim of the local or- ganization. Under the War Department plan, ,| Burleigh county would be required to furnish 1,800 men and 113 offi- cers if it were necessary for the United: States to immediately raise a great force of defense. This num- ber will be raised “on paper” on “Defense Test Day.” The tentative program for the day, which in Bismarck is in charge of the reserve officers’ corps, of which Col. E. P. Quain is senior officer and Capt. E. J. Taylor is executive officer for the day, calls for a par- ade at 7 p. m. consisting of various fraternal organizations, who will come out to show their patriotism and readiness to support the govern- ment in time of need. The parade will visualize by means of placards and banners, the various organiza- tions and their membership, that would be furnished by Burleigh county under a call to arms. The parade will be followed by a program at the Auditorium, at which time “Defense Test Day” will be explained, and patriotic speeches probably will be heard. The local reserve officers’ corps sees nothing militaristic in the ob- servance to be had here. In their opinion, a realization of what means to bring together the whole resources of the nation for war would cause people to think more clearly of armed conflict. Committees for “Defense Test Day” were announced as follows: General arrangements—Capt. Rob- erts, F. L. Conklin, A. P. Lenhart, L. E. Birdzell, H. Duemeland, F. E. Shepard, Lt. Col. Russ. Publicity—Major J. O. Arnson, Wn, Neal, James Curran, E. J. Con- rad. Parade —Capt. Herman Brocopp, Capt. Finley Baker. Speakers—Capt. Ben Tillotson, Scott Cameron, Worth Lumry. Program—Major W. E.

There are only nine commandments —the one which says, “Thou shalt jnot kill,” is going by default. And to the extent of toting guns and living in keen hatred, distrust and fear of the other side, the best and worst are indistinguishable.

The present klan and anti-klan warfare has absolutely no direct con- nection with the Herrin mine mass- acre of two years ago, This is con- sidered forgotten here now. ‘But the bitter hatred and distrusts of the present, according to Herrin partisans, will linger on a dozen years.

P.-— France today pledged her adhesion to the principle of arbitration and through the lips of Premier Her- riot gave a message to the world generally acclaimed here as replete with hope for world peace. In an address to the assembly of the League of Nations which was frequently interrupted with long handelapping by the public and the delegates M. Harriot declared that France would follow in both letter and spirit the solemn document known as the covenant of the League of Nations which forms the first part of the Treaty of Versailles and approved in principle in advance any. plan labeling as an aggressor any conutry which* refused arbitration. Reference to U. S. Especially marked by the dele- gates was the French premier’s re- ference to the attitude of the United tes toward the League of Nations. We continue to hope,” he said, “that the United States which has already given us such useful col- laboration and rendered so much service will not refuse the collabora- tion, especially as -arbitration if the keystone of our plan.” He added that certain ed citizens of the United have already given suggestions of vreatest value. This referen of the premier was to the draft pact for security and disarmament drawn up by a committee of Americans. nguish- ates HINT TO QUIT GIVEN TO FOUR G.0.P. ELECTORS Notified LaFollette People Desire Them to Give Places To Coolidge Men IS An active campaign in the state before the fall election on Novem- ber 4 is planned by Halvor Halvyor- son of Minot, Democrati nominee for Governor. Mr. Halvor- son, before leaving the city for his home in Minot after the political -fusion Four Republican electors, who cam- paigned for their positions in the March 18 primary as supporters of Robert M. LaFollette, are formally notified in letters dispatched today. that the Republican State Committee, as controlled by Nonpartisans, p ed_a resolution at the organization meeting in Bismarck Wednesday re- commending that they resign from the Republican column and accept places as electoral candidates on the Independent LaFollette electoral ticket. Roy Frazier, chairman of the com- mittee, said that he had sent such letters and Senator Lynn J. Frazier saiq that he had also sent letters to the four stating that in the opinion of the LaFollette National Commit- tee their resignation would clarify matters. Should the four electors resign, as is expected, the advisory committee to the Republican State Committee, named Wednesday, would select can- didates favorable to President Cool- idge, and they would be placed on the ballot by the Republican State Committee, according to Chairman Roy Frazier. There are five electoral candidates in North Dakota, and one of those named on the Republican ticket is favorable to President Coolidge. o—_-_________e ‘ Weather Report | a -® speaking engagements would him into all parts of the state. The fusion choice for Governor expressed pleasure over the turn of. events which resulted in the inde- !pendent Republican committee and the Democratic state committee join- ing with him in his campaign. * “I want to express my apprecia tion, not only to Democratic but t Republican friends, who made it possible to obtain a united front in |the the campaign against the League program,” said Mr. Halvorson. “On behalf of not only myself but the Democratic organization I want to express my appreciation of the spirit showed by Republicans in in- dorsing a ticket with the major portion of nominees of a minority |party. With that kind of sacrifice to a cause and spirit continued through the campaign, I feel that there is not the slightest doubt of the success of the ticket. “Everyone realizes,” he continued, “that the outstanding issue is the necessity of every economy consis- tent with good government, the cut- ‘ting of expenses, and the only meth- od by which taxes can be cut is with a legislature and an executive working in harmony. Many bureaus can be consolidated and much over- head eliminated.” WHEAT YIELD REPORTED SAME Today’s report of threshing oper- ations along the Missouri River di- vision of the Soo line, received at the office of Superintendent Der- rick, follows: Lidgerwood to Cogs- well, wheat continues about 20; Ful- lerton, wheat 14; Artas, Herried, carry For 24 hours ending at noon: Temperature at 7 a. m.

The Farmer-Labor Party of North Dakota, which has been organized for sometime, is beginning an active campaign for members, und has adopted a plan whereby it may gain a place on the ballot two years hence and then either force the Nonparti- san League to enter this column or place candidates in the field itself. The party has, thus far, restrained «from placing a candidate in the field |for Governor in the fall election, al- though there has been considerable demand from members of the party for this action, and the executive committee has been empowered to place candidates on the ballot if it deems such action wise, At least two active organizers have | been in the field for the Farmer ia- jbor Party, including Charles Hec jone of the original Townley organi jers. Much work was done in Slope jcounty, where the term, “enrolling $6 suckers”, has been revived in connection with the organization ac- tivities. The Farmer-Labor party has started on a membership bas: did the League. The dues at first were $2 a year, but the party now has adopted a biennial membership s tem with the dues $6 for two years, according to R. H. Walker, chairman. If the organization campaign successful, it is the plan of the Farm-| er-Labor Party to establish a news- paper in the state. While the Farmer-Labor Party has its organizers out seeking to enroll farmers and workers as members, the Nonpartisan League is seeking to do the same thing. The membership campaign, with dues, is in the hands of the executive committee. At least two organizers have been spending much time in the western part of the state recently seeking to enroll new members in the Nonpartisan League. Activity is to be increased as the crop is harvested. Thus far the Farmer-Labor Party has deferred to a large extent to the wishes of the leaders of the Nonpar- tisan League, since the third party is formed chiefly by men who have been active in the League. The mem- bership campaign has brought out a rivalry between them for member- ship and funds. The test of strength between the factions of the League who desire to continue to use the Republican column and the third party adherents may not come in the present election, but is regarded as a certainty in the next. The Farmer-Labor Party program includes nationalization of railroads and all natural monopolies. Mary K. Browne In Surprise Nayatt, R. L, Sept. 6—Miss Mary K.

P.)—The American army world fliers hopped off from Pictou to Bos- ton today on the last overseas stay of their flight which will bring them back to United States. The start of the flight was 10:15 a, m. (eastern standard time.) Lieut. Wade's plane, the Boston II, came down shortly after the start, After circling about for a few minutes the “New Orleans” followed the “Boston II” to the surface, Lieut. mith’s machine remained in the air. Lieut. Nelson in the “New Orleans” took the uir again shortly, while the “Boston II” again started down the harbor. At 10:35 a. m. the Boston II took the air again and all the planes were away on their journey, At 11:16 a. m. the planes passed over the mouth of the Pugwash Har- bor, about 50 miles from the starting point. The three planes were flying abreast and going very fast, Plans For Reception Boston, Sept. 5.—(By the A. P= The American world fliers are expect- ed to step on the soil of their native land today for the first time since they left it at Seattle on April 6 when they drop into Boston Harbor and land at the Boston air port. Lieut. Lowell H. Smith and his companion will be met and escorted here by a formation of airplanes led by Major-General Mason Patrick, chief of the United States Air Ser- vice. After taking to thelr mooring buoys the fliers will be greeted by a salute of 21 guns and the Star Span- gleq Banner’ played by a military band. They will then be received by committees of federal, state and municipal authorities who will escort them while they sign the “visitors’ register” of the Boston air port. Fol- lowing the ceremony the airmen will be given an opportunity to rest and dine alone. Every effort has been made to shorten the ordeal of offi- cial and formal reception in order that the fliers: may prepare for the first American leg of their light. Expect 100,000 Spectators In view of the great public inter- est in the arrival of the world fliers, Major-General Patrick has provided that announcement of the approach of the airmen will be made by the formation of flying escorts over Bos- ton Commons when the fliers are about two hours distant. Thirteen planes, after circling the city, will fly to the Northwest to meet Lieut. Smith and his companions. In the three leading planes will be Major- General Patrick, Assistant Secretary of War Dwight Davis and Lieut. Col. Moffett who last. Wednesday made the round trip between Boston and New York delivering pictures of the world flight in two hours and 12 minutes. The air Magellans will be greeted by fellow birdmen with ser- ies of “zooms” or sharp dips. Form- ing on the left of the round the world squadron the escort will accompany them to Boston while army photo- graphers will take pictures for the War Department archives and a radio plane soaring high above the flotilla will broadcast a description of the approach to Boston, STAY ONE DAY Major-General Patrick after his ar- rival and salute to Lieut. Smith and his companions and when about 30 miles from Boston will race ahead to join the official welcoming party on a barge anchored near the landing buoys which have been placed in the harbor opposite the air port, In an- swer to a wide public desire to see the marking of the first American post in the historic flight officials have arranged to provide for 100,000 spectators, setting aside 10 acres of parking pace for automobiles and extensive areas for pedestrians, The second and last day of the fliers’ here will be occupied with supervision of their machines for the trans-con- tinental flight, a few brief presenta- tions and a single public appearance on Boston Commons.
