Along Cherry creek, the main

Smith stated that his platform will

be generally known as the "Dollar

•Platform" and will be announced lat­

reforms. Smith is the second to an­

nounce his candidacy for the Republi­

can nomination, U. L. Burdick of YVil

liston having made his announcement

some time ago.

GREAT NORTHERN

PLANS NEW BRANCH

L. W. Hill Says His Road Will

Beat the Soo Into Glen

tana, Mont.

Helena, Mont., Nov. 11—When i»ouis

W. Hill, president of the Great North­

ern,-vtas in Montana last week, lie

gave assurances of the building! of a

50-mile line from Scobey west to C.len

tana. in northern Valiey county, a'nd a,

visit he made from Cascade to Adel

has given rise to rumors the Grl&c

Northern intends building a branch

there. -.t *(,.

"You will *ride out of Glentana on

the Great Northern before you will on

the Soo, and that before the snows of

another year have fallen," he told

Glentana people.

Fifty-Mile Team Haul.

Thousands of bushels of grain are

to be hauled to the railroad from Glen­

tana. Scobey, the terminus of the

Great Northern's Bainville branch, is

the nearest marketing point, a dis­

tance of 52 miles. Many farmers who

haul grain to Scobey take back freight

for Glentana and in this way the ex­

pense of the loug trip is partly borne

»y local concerns.

Develops Notwithstanding.

Even with this handicap, the north­

ern 'part of Valley county is making

rapid advancement and thousands of

acres are being broken for crop next

spring. The statement of Louis W.

Hill will have the effect of greatly in­

creasing that acreage.

There is no doubt that the fight be­

tween the Great Northern and the Soo

will be a merry one, as it was on the

Scobey and Whitetail branches of

these two roads. The Soo has its road

into Whitetail, 70 miles east of Glen­

tana. and had planned on extending to

Glentana in 1914, but the war and

other unforeseen things prevented.

Adel Trip Causes Speculation.

Mr. Hill and his party made a trip

into the Adel country that has caused

no little speculation. According to

persons who are in a position to know

a survev has been made from the

town of Cascade to the coal fields

about Adel and the surveyors were in

the employ of the Great Northern. It

is. reported that a line has been found

which will give a favorable grade to

the coal fields and those who know

of the trip are now wondering if this

is another bit of Hill strategy in rail­

road building and if. without having

made known his plans, he is getting

ready to construct a line into the Adel

country in the spring of 1916.

MAN DIES IN FLAMES IN

ATTEMPT TO SAVE HORSE

Williston, N. D„ Nov. 11.—Joseph

Halfseth, a young man of about 24

years of age, lost his life while try­

ing to get a valuable stallion out of a

burning barn on the Alfred Swend

serd's farm 24 miles northwest of the

city. The owners were away at the

time and there was no one around

but an elderly lady and a couple of

children.. When the fire was first

noticed it was in stacks near the barn

and the lady at the house noticed

Halfseth go into the barn. When the

neighbors came it was impossible to

get into the building and it soon caved

in. After the fire Halfseth's body was

found between the body of the stal­

lion and the wall. He had evidently

endeavored to get the animal out and

probably was crushed by the fright­

ened animal and unable to get out,

and arms being burned off. He was

terribly burned about the limbs.

The deceased was a single man and

came to this country from Norway

about three years ago. All his rela­

tives are in the old country. An ad­

ministrator, Ed. Granig, has been ap­

pointed to settle up hiB affairs.

Secretary Lansing Refrains from

About Affair

Washington. 'Nov. II.—Official re­

ports describing exactly how the Ital­

ian liner, tAncona, v.as destroyed still

were unavailable today and in conse­

quence Secretary Lansing refrained

from expressing any opinion as to uic

attitude of the United States.

Press reports indicating that the

Ancona was given a warning, but

many passengers were lost, as a re­

sult of shots fired by the submarine

after the liner came to a halt, wore

read here with great interest. High

officials of the American government

said that when heeding warning that

belligerent merchantmen are entitled

to sufficient time to place non-com

batants in a place of safety and that

the fact that the vessel previously at­

tempted to escape does not invalidate

it.

Flew German Flag.

Conufiicting reports concerning the

colors raised by the submarine which

a Hacked the Ancona attracted con­

siderable attention. One report—that

the subarine flew a German flag—is

confirmed, officials said this would be

considpr,ed an act of war sufficient to

serve notjee that Italy and Germany

were in a state of war. There never

his been any declaration of war be­

tween tlie^o countries so far as the

state' department is advised and the

custom in the case of this kind is to

await- some overt act as an evidence

of a state of hostilities. Should it de­

velop Jj&ftt. submarine, was manned

tfy' a-"Kerhian naval force and flew a'

By'

German flag, it is considered certain

that the question will bo made a sub­

ject, of diplomatic' correspondence

jivith the/Urtited States' and the Ger

hian foreign ofliW?.

Captain At' Tunis.

A dispatch to the Havas agency

from.Tunis says:

"The- captain of the Ancona, who ar­

rived he're today, confirmed previous

reports .that the hostile submarine

fired on his vessel while her boats

were filled with passengers and ready

to be lowered. Shells struck the boat

killing or wounding many passengers,

said the captain. The boats were al­

so struck by projectiles after they

were in the water. The captain de­

clared that no signals were given by

the submarine except that a shot was

fired when the submarine was about

five miles distant. The steamer im­

mediately stopped completely. The

last, gun shot was fired at a distance

of SOO.yards from the steamer. Sev­

eral of the boats pulled close to the

submarine, the captain of the Ancona

said, nut were warned off by insult­

ing cries.

Await Information.

Although scores of inquiries came

to the office of the Italian lines con­

cerning persons who sailed on the An­

cona which was torpedoed after she

sailed from Naples, the agents of the

liner in New York were unable tonight

to give any details. The agents said

they had not received any official word

as to the sinking of the Ancona. The

Italian consul general likewise was

without any information.

London, Xov. 11.—1.\ strong intima­

tion of compulsion at an early date is

contained in a statement tonight by

the Karl of Derby, director of recruit­

ing. This statement, Lord Derby de­

clared, was with the authority of the

prin\e minister. It says:

'If young men medically fit and not

in business of national importance or

any business conducted for the gen­

eral good of the community do not

come forward before Nov. 30, the gov­

ernment will after that day take the

necessary step to redeem the pledge

made on Nov. 2.

"On the day referred to, Premier

Asquith announced in the house of

pulsory methods would be taken be­

manders, beginning with field Mar­

shall flrench who had been in com­

mand fifteen months and had made no

progress.

In the last offensive, continued

Lynch, the Allies broke the German

lines but in the superior command the

decision was wanting to take full ad­

vantage of the victory. The govern­

ment. he declared, had no plans of

campaign. The war must be won in

(he field. The men were, good and the

munitions were fair. It was leader­

ship and direction which were lacking.

Supress Newspapers.

During the course of a discussion in

the house of commons and the sus­

pension of the (ilobe newspaper,

James Myles Hogge, member for

East Edinburg declared it his belief

that the statement that l.ord Kitche­

ner resigned was true and that the

seizure of Ihe paper because of the

publication of the statement was justi­

fied.

Premier Asquith immediately re­

torted that Mr. Hogge accused him of

a deliberate and unexcusable false­

hood. and to make the matter quite

clear, lie declared he said Rarl Kitche­

ner never tendered his resignation

either to the king or myself, the only

two nersons who he could have ten­

dered it. Earl Kitchener never

breathed a word of resignation to

either.

The decision to send Kitchener to

the near east, the premier said, was

taken by the cabinet Thursday, Nov.

government to make the decision was

brought to their knowledge for the

first time Wednesday. In the in­

terest of public policy he protested

against the charges that the king was

to do incalculable harm to the coun­

try. 'He repudiated the charge that
