These will include two battleships, three heavy cruisers, nine light cruis- ers, 25 destroyers and a dozen sub- marines, all reasonably old but still within the age limit. The ships will be stripped of their crews but not immediately scrapped. In this condition they will continue to serve as a bartering point when the world disarmament conference re- sumes its discussions at Geneva this fall: Caretakers will be left aboard the ships to keep them from deterior- ating. The navy department believes an extensive retiring program will save millions of dollars monthly. The crews of retired vessels will be trans- ferred to new cruisers gradually en- tering the service. Simultaneously with the retirement schedule comes a reorganization of the fleet. A retirement sounds the death knell of the battleship so far as Italy A complaint of the public service commission of Wyoming against all freight rates between Wyoming and North Dakota and other states has been set for hearing by the Interstate Commerce Commission for Septem- ber 8, it was anounced Wednesday by the state railroad commission. The North Dakota commission has filed a formal petition of intervention and a representative of the traffic department will appear at the ehar- ing which is to be held at Cheyenne. Wyo, “This case is of particular impor- tance to North Dakota because of the large volume of gasoline and other petroleum products moving from Wy- oming to North Dakota, the rates on which are indirectly involved,” said Ben C. Larkin, chairman of the state commission. A specific complaint entered by the Wyoming commission is pending be- fore the Interstate Commerce Com- mission covering rates on gasolin=| from Casper and other Wyoming points to North Dakota. The exam- iner who heard the case recommend- ed a readjustmen of rates based on a percentage relation of first class.

It was demonstrated this could be done, but only at great cost. This drill came shortly after the adjourn- ment of the world disarmament con- ference, at which the Italian delega- tion submitted a sweeping program for limiting land and sea arms. The plan struck at the German “pocket battleship,” the 22,000-ton French cruisers and the battle flects of Great Britain and the United States. It would bring all the navies of the world down to Italy’s own stan- dard of 10,000-ton cruisers. This memorandum was tabled by the goneral conference for considera- tion. Subsequently, when President Hoo- ver presente@ his proposal for a gen- eral reduction of about one-third in the world’s arms, Italy was among the first to express approval. Prisoner Jailed Here Sent to Penitentiary Paul Schultz, Sleepy Eye, Minn., was given an indeterminate sentence of from three to five years in the state penitentiary after he pleaded guilty in district court, here Wednes- day to charges of stealing an auto- mobile. Schult: was brought to Bismarck late Tuesday from Groton, S. D., where he had been arrested by Gro- ton police. He admitted stealing the car from L. E. Smith, 208 Third St., about 9 p. m. Sunday. At the time of his arrest he gave his name as Albert Hoppe. Officials of the state bureau of criminal iden- tification identified him as Schultz and said his record showed he had served three previous prison terms for larceny. He was committed to the prison a few minutes after Judge Fred Jan- sonius imposed sentence, Three Forest Fires Get Out of Control Missoula, Mont., Aug. 17.—()—Only three of the 128 forest fires started over western Montana and northern Idaho by lightning storms Sunday re- mained uncontrolled Wednesday with fighters hoping to subdue two of these. In the Selway forest of North Idaho, 20 fires were set, with 42 in the Clearwater of North Idaho, 40 in the Lolo of western Montana and 18 in the Cabinet of Montana. On Lolo Creek, 10 miles northeast of Kooskia, Idaho, on the Clearwater Forest, the most serious blaze of the region was believed to be covering a front of eight miles. Move than men were fighting it. ‘ A force of 30 men expected to con- trol a@ fire near Chamberlain Mea- dows on the Clearwater Forest. It had a perimeter of one and one half miles. The third uncontrolled fire was on Obia Creek in the Selway, 25 miles northeast of Kooskia. It covered a perimeter. of one and a half miles at the last report and was spreading be- fore a wind. their tasks. ** * | | RETURNED Amana, la., Changes Its Spots | _ After 90 Years in Social | Experiment Amana, Ia., Aug. 17—After exist- ing for 90 years on a basis of “share and share alike” for its members, America’s oldest and most successful experiment in “pure” communism has decided that its plan is a failure and is getting ready to change to the ways of capitalism.

Already, the change has begun. The community kitchens in the seven vil- lages of the colony, where the women took turns at cooking the food, have been abandoned.

Confident of getting a good living under the “share and share alike” plan, many of the younger members have not worked so hard. As a re- i sult, profits have declined and in re- cent years the colony trustees have been having a hard time trying to make ends meet. Modernism also enters into the change. The younger generation is tired of living in an atmosphere of 200 years ago, under customs like those that existed when the sect was founded in Germany in 1714. They want automobiles, movies, electric lights, radios and other modern things that the ancient laws of the colony brand as “sinful.” Ambitious ones among the young members also want a chance to get ahead in the world. They are tired of seeing individual industry and ini- \ These boxers from the four. corners of the world fought their way to Olympic tities in five days and nights of competition.

It added commu- nism to its program when the group established itself in this country in 1842, on a 5000-acre tract near Buf- falo, N. Y. In 1854 they sold their lands at a profit and moved to Iowa. It is not only the oldest experi- ment in “pure” communism in the United States, but has been the most successful. For many years it pros- Pered while similar colonies, promoted by other ‘religious sects, tried it and failed. It continued to prosper until @ few years ago, when the third gen- eration began to lose interest in the religious fervor that had inspired their forefathers in founding it. * * O* Under the rules of the colony, all Property was held in common and the proceeds administered by the trustees. The latter selected youths for doctors, dentists and teachers and sent them to college at the colony's expense, but upon graduation they were required to return and serve the community.

D., Aug. 17.—Alfred Ac- cart, 39, farmer living 14 miles north- west of Beach, was instantly killed by lightning Friday afternoon while repairing a fence on his farm. Indications were that the lightning bolt struck him on the head, passing through his body and out through his left foot, burning the sole completely off his shoe. He was the second member of the Accart family to die within a week, his father having died but a few days previously. Accart was unmarried. Democratic Women Plan Headquarters Grand Forks, N.

Loan Board Members Will Survey Nation | 2=trely satistactory progress toward recovery was being made today by Russell N. Boardman, trans-Atlantic Washington, Aug. 17.—(4)—Three members of the Home Loan Bank board are going into different sections of the country this week to sound out jected home loan banks. The board is waiting about setting up the 8 to 12 banks and carving out as many districts until it determines whether the institutions holding home mortgages are willing to subscribe for the initial capital stock. CORRECTION In Tuesday's edition of The Trib- une it was erroneously stated that O. H. Benson, son of Claus Benson, Red River valley pioneer who died Monday, was an employe of the state railroad board. O. H. Benson is an employe of the International Harvester company here and has been connected with that firm for many years.
