"While leaguS control of the next leg

of the 21st, M. L. McKride of the 31st,
John A. Beck of the 35th, C. V. Carey
of the 37th and H. P. Jacobsen of the
49th. A majority of these men are
senators who have had two or more
terms in the upper house, and they
form a nucleus around which opposi
tion to the league may be expected to
concentrate. A. S. Gibbons of the
22nd, for many years a lead
er in the senate and regarded by
many as the most powerful man in
tbmat body, is reelected. Albert
Stemno of the seventh, although elect
ed'with the league endorsement two
years ago.
Hold-over leaguers in the senate will
be Walter Welford, Christ lievang, J.

Gronvold republican anti ,from the
42nd H. H. McNair, leaguer, succeeds
John E. Paulson, republican anti, from
the eighth.
The fifteen districts from which re
turns have (been reseived show the
election of eleven leaguers^ with a
12th friendly to the league, an actual
gain for the Nonpartisans of ten mem
bers, inasmuch as one of the new
leaguers succeeded a hold-over who
voted with the leasee in the last ses
sion. Out of the fifteen districts re
porting, the independents claim three,
each of which was held by the anti-.
letfgue faction in the last assembly.
The league, therefore, already is as
sured a majority of three members in
the upper house, with 27 senators out
of a total of 29 aocounted for. It .Jp
probable that returns from the nine
other districts which elected senators
this year, and in all of which there
were league candidates, will increase
the noparty majority in the upper
house, where the line-up prpbafoly will
fbe 30 leaguers to 19 antis. Among
those classed as leaguers, however,
are at least three whom the league
cannot rely upon to support any such
radical legislation as House Bill 44,
and on important questions the vote
in the upper house may yet be close
enough to be interesting.
Reports to date would Indicate that
the Une-up in the hiuse will be prac
tically the same as in the last ses
sion, where the league had an actual
majority of about 30. The league lost
in some districts this year, but it
gained in others, and there will be
little change in its voting strength on
the floor.
E. A. Bowman probably will, 'be
speaker of the- nejv house,, succeeding
Howard 'R. Wood, who,as lieutenant
governor becomes presiding'officer of
the senate. W. Jv Prater, land com
missioner, again has his eyes on the
secretaryship of the senate. The up
per house will not seem the same
without "Lieut. Gov. A T. Kraabel in
the president's chair.

INVESTIGATION
OFGERMANY
Government Agencies Inquiring
Into Ability of Teutons to Pay
Bis: Indemnities
Washington, Nov. 18.—Study of Ger
many's financial situation has been
undertaken by government agencies
with a view to throwing light on the
empire's ability to pay huge sums in
reparation for damage to devastated
areas. Germany's war debt is now
nearly $35,000,000,000, or more' than
two-fifths of the estimated national
weauth of 85,000,000,000. It Is certain
the amount the allies will- ask Germany
to pay will run into billions, and neces
sarily the termp must accord with
Germany's ability to pay. This will
depend upon Germany's powet to re
store her industry and trade to a peace
time basis. Some claims set forward
for reparation and indemnity in allied
circles are regarded here as exorbi
tant, as they are far beyond Germany's
power to pay, it is said here.
Comparatively small amounts of
German war bonds Are owned outside
of Germany, and perhaps the largest
sums are held by citizens of the United
States, former German subjects. Offi
cials here who have known Germany's
internal situation in the past, do not

Lignite mines west ci the Missouri

the fact that they have not been able

that the old price of ?2.50 per ton for
lignite at the mouth of the mine was

"Wo note in your letter of the 22nd

"If it is the desire of C'le commis

capacity, we would very much like to
havo you look over the situation, as
we have done everything we can do,
but we are not able to get a full crew

GERMANY MOST
SEND NOTES TO
ALLIED NATIONS
Washington, Nov. 18—In the almost
hysterical appeals of the German prp
visional government for supplies of
food and permission to address itself
directly through a commission to the
American public, officials here see a
purpose to excite the sympathies of a
large element of the American popu
lation more or less connected by blood
ties with Germany. With such sym
pathies aroused, the German govern
ment, it was said, undoubtedly hopes
to influence the approaching peace con
ference toward leniency.
Mr. Lansing's note, addressed to
Minister Sulzer of Switzerland, fol
lows:
"I should be gratified if you would
bo good enough to convey the follow
ing communication to the secretary of
foreign affairs of the German govern
ment
"The government of the United
States has received the radio mes
sage addressed-to the president of the
United States by the German govern
ment, relative to relief from certain
requirements imposed in the armistice
with the Ottoman government and the
iarmistice with the German govern
ment
"The communications which have
been received will be forthwith com
municated to the other governments
with which the government of the
United States is associated, "and also
the supreme war council in Paris.
"The government of the United
States takes this opportunity to sug
gest to the German government that
communications of this nature, which
pertain to the terms of the armistice
or to matters in which all the asso
ciated governments are interested,
should ne sent to all the govern
ments and not addressed alone to the
president or the^ government of the
United States.
"The government of the United
States also desires to call the attention
of the German government to the fact
that these communications should be
presented through established'diploma
tic channels rather than by direct
radio communication."

LEAVE BRUSSELS
Paris, November 18.. The last German troops left Brussels yester

BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA MONDAY, NOV. 18, 1918
FRAZIER ASKS
CONTINUANCE
Governor Requests Workers to
Stay on the. Job Until
Wednesday Night
BISMARCK COMING SLOWLY
Capital City Will Live Up to
Reputation if Everyone Kicks
in His Bit
Through a statement t) the press
tqday C'.overnor Lynn J. Frazier call
ed upon all campaign committees and
individuals laboring for the success of
the United War Work drivo to con
tinue their efforts until Wednesday
night. It had been originally intend
ed to close the campaign Monday.
Governor Frazier said:
"After receiving advice from the
United JWar Work campaign commit
tee, at Now York in which they state
that it 4s their intention to continue
the driv.e for two days longer because
of the fact that almost everywhere the
campaign has «beeu hampered by peace
celebrationis,- I request that all the
^ItizetfeT' of North Dakota lend added
effort toward reaching the goal set for
us."
"With the many long months o:
work to be done by the geven war or
ganizations for the men overseas the
need for funds will be greater than
ever. Our men relieved from the
tense vigil and excitement of battle
must, have mora safeguards thrown
albout their moral welfare. Plenty of
wholesome amusement must be pro
vided for them in order that their
stay in mobilization camps previous to
being returned to civil life may not
become irksome."
The governor has been further ad
vised that the position of General
MarBh regarding length: of time for
demobilization Jaas beeEu misconstrued
'&fhb/agreeingxiwith otheti military and
nfirad: authorities that miity -months
H*lll :elapse .during which time there
will be great need for the funds now
being raised.
Bismarck Going Over.
Returns in Bismarck continue to
come in slowly. ommittees havo
been handicapped by the flu. Mem
bers have been ill, or prospective
contributors have been found suffer
ing from the pidemic and in no con
dition to be seeh. Everyone who has
been approached has 'been generous
and enthusiastic over the work. It is
now largely a matter of catching up
loose ends and getting cards into
the hands of those who have not been
seen before.
The Grand Pacific committee, con
sisting of J. Oberg and Henry Hal
vorson, last night reported more than
$200 as its share of the week's work.
H. E. Loebel. captain of one of the
Second ward committees, with a small
and rather lean territory to cover,
found his people so receptive and
combed his district so thoroughly, that
his team will stand among tho first
in tho city in total results. Dr. W. J.
Hdtcheson and Rev. H. C. Pos
tlethwaite are two other team leaders
who have achieved splendid results.
Many patriotic citizens have given up
an entire week to the work, and vfith
the cooperation of everyone it now
seems certain that the capital city
will make its $15,000 .djuota and will
•be able to greet the boys when they
come home with the satisfaction of
having not once failed in its duty.

FLAT FAILURE
FOR NOPARTY
IS FORECAST
Defeat of Amendments to be
Followed by Ressurrection of
House Bill 44
PEOPLE WILL SWAT IT
Believed That Effort to Cram
Socialise Down Throats ,wHl
... Cause Revolt
Certain defeat for the Nonpartisan
amendments is reflected in returns re
ceived from 20 counties showing the
principal proposals of the organization
Still lagging 1,000 behind the required
majority. This Is the opinion of a high
state official and a leaguer. He also
believes that the defeat of the league
amendments will insure the resurrec
tion of House Bill No. 44 in the general
assembly which convenes January 1.
The fact that the league program has
been repudiated by more than 50 per
cent of the legal electors of the state
will have lio deterrent on the league
legislators, whipped into line by Presi
dent Townley and liis associates, In the
famous league caucus which will "be in
stituted several days prior to the open
ing of the legislative assembly, he be
lieves.
Semi-official returns from 26 coun
ties as tabulated in the office of the
secretary of state show a total vote for
governor of 44,543, while the vote on
the debt limit amendment, probably the
most Important of the ten principal
proposals submitted by Townley at the
recent election, is only 21,280. If a
majority of the vote on governorship
alone were required, the amendment
would need 22,272 of these 44,545 bal
lots. But the constitutional amend
ment providing for the Initiative states
very clearly that proposed amendments
initiated by the ieople must have the
approval of a majority of all the legal
electors voting therefor. The total
number of votes cast In the recent elec
tion will be at least two per cent great
er than the ballot on the governorship,
thds increasing by at least 800 the
handicap which the amendments have
to overcome in 2G out of the total of
53 counties.
The secretary of state is inclihed to
believe that at least 50 ier cent of the
total vote cast In North Dakota on
November 5 now is In. The tabulation
of semi-official returns includes such
Jarge counties as Cass, Grand Forks,
Richland, Stutsman and Ward. If half
the vote is already in, which mean) a
safe, conjecture, the total number of
ballots will not exceed 90,000.
GROOMING OLD 44.
From league headquarters at St.
Paul already come advices of the
grooming of old House Bill 44 which
was laid away in lavender after Its
rough treatment in the senate two
years ago. House Bill No. 44 includes
everything that was embraced in the
league's ten amendments and then
some. It is literally a new constitu
tion for the state of North Dakota,
iHjiit along socialist lines, presented in
the form of an 'act which would be
come effective with the approval of
an a majority of the electors voting
thereon. As originally presented, House
Bill 44 was to have been voted upon
at a special election to be held In June,
an undertaking which Judge Robinson
pointed out as unconstitutional because
of the fact that the bill did not carry
an emergency clause. If President
Townley wants House Bill 44 passed
by the next assembly, a little thing like
an emergency clause will not stand in
his way in the house, and it is possible
that he might obtain the required two
thirds vote In the senate, although such
a majority for the league in the upper
house is far from probable on the face
of present returns.
"The people might as well come to
It sooner or later." said a prominent
league office-holder this morning.
"We're going to fight It out to a finish
along these lines. If our amendments
did not carry at the general election,
we intend to give the people another
chance to vote on House Bill 44. As
sure as shooting you'll see House Bill
44 or its twin brother before the leg
islature before the session is a month
old."
WOULD MEAN DEFEAT.
It is believed here that even should
House Bill 44 pass the legislature, the
people will repudiate a second attempt
to foist unon them a makeshift con
stitution. framed without reference to
the wishes of the people as a whole
and jimmied through with little time
for thought. The leaguers' hope is that
the referendum provision requiring
only a majority of the votes cn«t on the
proposition will save House Bill 44 if
it goes to the people, The opposition,
however, holds that the campaign of
education conducted by the joint cam
mittee has thoroughly awakened even
leaguers to the dangers which lie in the
Townley program, and that if_House
Bill 44 does bob up its head its will
be swatted most unmercifully by the
electorate.
The defeat of the ten amendments
will disrupt the league's legislative
program predicated upon a belief that
these proposals would carry. As a re
sult the league's entire energies will
be concentrated on an effort to procure
by legislation changes in the constitu
tion Which the organization was un
able to get by the voice of the people.

Men,, women and children ran out with improvished paper flags.
The first automobiles containing French officers were taken
by storm, by boys and women, singing and cheering frantically.
It was difficult to concede that Chateau Salins could ever
have been anything but French. After 47 years of German
rule, the" town appeared more intensely patriotic than French
towns that has hot known anything but French rule.
General D6gan's entry was preceded by the fQrmal surren
der of the town by four German officers. With grave dignity
the Germans met the advancing columns, while the inhabitants
looked on in silence.

hitch.
The troops have moved out of the shell torn area where the roads
hastily and temporarily have been repaired. It sa relief to the men,
because behind the German line the roads are in excellent condition.
Villages behind the lines look peaceful. The only traces of war
fare are occasional scare from aerial bombs. Deep silence broods
over the area, for the people were nearly all moved out by the1 Ger
mans.

MtJTINY AT METZ
Paris, November 18. Louis Forest, one of the editors of the Matin,
succeeded in entering Metz, his home town, yesterday. He was the
first Frenchman to enter since hostilities ceased. A revolt occured
in Metz November 10, and a soldier council was formed under the
leadership of two socialist workmen and noncommissioned officers.
Governor Von Lequis marched a squadron of cavalry with machine
guns to the Place de Arenes. He ordered the cavalry to charge, but
they fraternized wit hthe mutineers. The governor theu ordered
all authorities to place themselves at the service of the mutineers.
All went well at first, but when it became apparent the soldiers would
not all be able to get away at once, the troops pillaged the govern
ment-stores. Saturday the soldiers broke into a champagne factory,
and the civil guards had to retreat when ttlie soldiers began using
machine guns.
