Mr. Gibbons writes: "Europe is on fire, and through flames of hate there come daily glimpses of a growing condition f which will shock the people of the A Allied world when it is revealed by A the developments of the next few W weeks. "That shock will register that Ger many, far from being stripped of her old ambitions, is preparing to realize them in their fullest meaning in the ` east. o "That shock will register still hard er that Germany is doing this with the knowledge of the Allies, and.that t in practice there exists an under standing between Germany and the ~ Entente, which in effect amounts to counter-revolutionary alliance againsti the bolsheviks. BOCHES MADE ALLIES "In other words, the boches no longer are enemies. They are allies, and the new enemy is Russia. Every evidence obtainable here indicates this startling turn of- events. "The Allies without the assistance of Germany have failed to thrust down bolshevism in Russiac This is a long suppressed admission. It .is based on the fact that on every front the bolheviks are victorious. "Von der Goltz, with boasted Prus sian efficiency, is willing to guarantee suppression of bolshevism in Russia. The German commander with ap proximately 200,000 men, is on the outskirts of Riga. "German agents also are operating" ,ý tiý - Sheridan County Receives Most' Prizes-Makes Clean Sweep on( C Flay.

I Several Strange Changes Seen Jo "For some strange reason the tol cace treaty edict of immediate de nobilization has been stoppegl. For vs. ;ome strange reason at this particu- 2 ar moment the Allies have begun re ;atriating thousands of German sol- Cc Hiers imprisoned in England and Oc France. For some strange reason the C( Allies permit continued recruiting of German soldiers, officers and generals for the so-called Russian army. "The. British on the Archangel and 1 Murmansk fronts are in a tight place for the coming winter, when the red forces threaten to annihilate them. 01 Anti-bolshevik invasion from the lip west, reaching Petrograd before Christmas, would relieve them. "Every strictly Allied effort to ac complish this has' failed, and now the F Germans step into the breach with a an offer to turn the trick. Every de velopment in the news indicates their offer has been accepted, or at least an understandi has been reached by 14 which their c tinual preparations for 1 the Petrograd push are not seriously 4 _ As Mte Lauiun newspapers themselves are now saying: "ther the allies have no policy with regard to Russia, or they have entered a counter-revolutionary alliance with our former enemies."

There pc were four teams entered in a mile in race. The teams were hitched to a th lumber wagon and the winner had to ai run the mile and have his team un- tl hitched first. a ,. What was considered by most of the spectators as the best features of the fair were the auto races, which n . were held all three days of the fair.

The purpose of this meeting is to form an organization such as those now operating in the good roads dis tricts, to co-operate with county oflti cials in promoting the building of good roads. The Northeastern dis trict is the only district that has not had an organization of this kind at I work and we are also the possessors 7 of very poor roads. 5 Hon.

William Z.

E Unions Are Active G f According to Pittsburgh reports ci managers of the plants now are seek- li ing to take offensive. They are said tb to be trying to induce wavering r f strikers to return. On the other r hand, labor's recruiting forces are not a e inactive as shown by the fact that t organizers from the mine workers' c 1- union have been called to reinforce c 1. agents of the steel workers union in a enrolling nonworkers. z: SOME BANKS SABOTAGE STATE; I ' - d, Refusal of some prvate baAEf ir various parts of North DIakota to C' cash school warrants and public cor rd poration warrants has caused the n- State Bank of North Dakota to issue a statement declaring that it will cash re these warrants itself but that in such °d cases it will withdraw a sufficient "n amount of the public fund deposited rd in these banks to safely cover all Ia such warrants. Observers say that this action on the part of some of the at' private bankers is part of a general - underground campaign which the ice anti-farmer element is carrying on in A an effort to discredit the new state ice, institutions.

ARRIVE IN WAS IGTON The movement started some time - ago for The Fort Peck Relief Asso-I ciation resulted in a concrete orga nization with local representatives at home and four delegates to congress who have been in Washington thei past week and a half. The Washington delegates, Messrs. S. C. Moore, E. P. Calwell, P. E. Burke and A. M. Foore were ap pointed at a meeting held in Wolf Point September 13th. The delegates left for Washington the following week with a petition to congress signed by several thousand names, which they presented to congress to more fully impress on congress the necessity of prompt and favorable action. - At the same meeting J. C. Lewis of I Medicine Lake was appointed acting treasurer through Mr. Foore's absence .|to Washington. The expenses of the delegates are paid by popular sub scriptions from all uarrounding ter f ritories and towns. The towns pay through their commercial clubs or e business men's assoeiations, the farm e ers pay direct to the trqusurer, J.

Reports Conflicting The situation in Chicago also was clouded by conflicting reports. The industry in that section, though crip pled, was by no means tied up and company oficials claimed additions had been made to the reduced forces.

A comp.aint sent by Mr. Foster to Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, con cerning the action of the state . po lice in dispersing crowds in steel I tqwns, brought from the governor a reply that he had been informed "dangerous and evil disposed persons at points hi other states" were pre t paring "to collect armed mobs to come across the state line to attack , our citizens and destroy property" i and that such mobs would be treated "as armed invaders of Pennsylvania." ; PERMANENT ARMY RECRUIT IING OFFICE, ESTABLISHED AT GLASGOW, MONTANA o 'last Friay, Col.
