(By Associated Press.) Germany's serious internal crisis

overshadowed the pending military operations in the news of the day.

The- reports from Berlin show that the Reichstag has gone on strike against the crown and the military party, apparently In the interests of a parliamentary system of government.

Rumors of Abdication. There is even a rumor, although en­

tirely unconfirmed and little credited, that Emperor WJlliam has abdicated infavqr of his sixth and favorite son, Prince1'Joachim.

The peace clamor is growing both In' Geomany and Austria-Hungary. Part of the trouble between the Reich­stag apd the. government class is over the government's persistent declina­tion to state Germany's peace terms on' the basis of non-annexation de-manded by what now comprises a ma­jority bloc in the Reichstag.

: Credit BiU Held Up. The war credit bill is being held up

•by this majority until the political crisis i; settled. But more serious yet 1b the ' decision of the members not even to meet meanwhile for discussion In regular session or in committee.

Apparently the crown prince is wag­ing a fight for control, on behalf of the militaristic interests. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg is under fire from thp ct^own prince and his supporters, the chancellor seemingly being too liberally inclined to suit the heir to the throne. -

Situation Encouraging for Allies. On the military side the situation

continues to bear a most encouraging aspect foe the formidable grpup qt nations allied against the centr.gJ.L-.powers, this generally bein«-. taken ln>--' to1 consideration in dealing out with the situation'in Berlin and Vienna. .

• ftussians Sweep Ahead. The Russian revolutionary armips

in Galicia are still sweeping forward. Today they occupied the village of No'vica, southeast of Kalosz. Appar­ently, there is little to stop them pour­ing throUgh "the breach in the line in eastern Qalioia, opened by General KdrnilOff." They" are pushing on north of,the Dniester and west of the Lom-niCa and generally proving victors in the fighting going on along a fifty-mile front.

Waiting Policy in West. On the Fratico-Belgian front a

waiting policy is being pursued by General Haig on the British end of the line and General Petain in the French action. . There has been only local fighting by either group of armies.

St. Paul, July 14.—That farmers may benefit from their crops this sea­son, as well as aid the public, they are being urged to provide their own storage facilities before the coming crops are ready for market. J. B. Baird, general traffic manager of the Northern Pacific railway, has sent an appeal to farmers along its lines to build granaries for the protection of grains.

"With increased demands made on transportation incident to the war," Mr. Baird says, "an acute car shortage may result at a period when the crop movement is heaviest. By having suf­ficient storage capacity on their farms to house grains, under such condi­tions, farmers need have no cause for worry.

"It would seem a matter of economy to equip their own farms with ample capacity so that if the elevators at local markets are overcrowded pro­ducts can be stored until such conges­tion, in case it does occur, is relieved. Likewise, it will remove the menace of .grain deterioration and loss of mil­lions of bushels.

"Farmers in the northwest grain growing states can perform a service both to themselves and to the nation at large by taking steps to construct such storage before they become en­gaged in harvesting and threshing crops."

No Confirmation Can be Se­cured—Coalition Scheme

Doomed to Failure.

SAY CHANCELLOR ALSO IS THROUGH

Reports Declare His Resig­nation Has Been Ac­

cepted.

London, July 13.—A dispatch to The Morning Post from Amsterdam says that rumors current that Em­peror William has abdicated in favor of his son, Prince Joachim, are un­confirmed and must be taken with all reserve.

IMPOSSIBLE TO EXTRADITE COCCHI

ITALY DECLARES Rome, July 14.—The ministry of

foreign affairs yesterday notified the American embassy that it was impos­sible to extradite Alfredo. Cocchi, the slayer of Ruth Cruger, without violat­ing the fundamental law of the coun­try.

New York, July 14.—A personal •warrant from President Wilson for the arrest of Alfredo Cocchi in Italy for the murder here of Ruth Cruger, was received by registered mail today by Edward Swan, district, attorney.

Winnipeg, July 14.—.Immigration -Into—Gafladai-"from - the United StAt^s for the - week ending July 10 shows an increase of more than 70 per cent over the corresponding week last year. A much larger increase is shown in the amount of cash carried by the new comers.

During the week this year 527 per­sons entered the country as compared with 306. for the corresponding period in 1916. They brought with them $294,103 in cash as compared with $82,426 last year.

Of the total number of immigrants 165 were farmers and farm laborers, and 254 were women and children. Two hundred and. forty-nine of them registered ^s Americans.

Seven chdse destinations in ^Ontario, 83 in Manitoba, 48 in Saskatchewan, 255 in Alberta, and 34 in British Co­lumbia. During the same week 277 homestead entries were recorded.

Coalition Is Failing Berlin, .July 12 via London, July 14.

—The foiir party coalition in the Reichstag which appeared to be a firm unit early in the week now seems to be disintegrating. No defin­ite program or concerted plan of ac­tion has been evolved thus far, either in respect of the pronounced plan of action for parliamentary reform or of joint action on an interpellation re­garding Germany's war aims.

The problem of introducing a par­liamentary system is being compli­cated on account of the constitutional rights and prerogatives of the federal states.

The soldiers were assisted in their work by Sheriff Simpson 'of Luna county, N. M. and the five deputies he kept with him here last night to pre­serve order.

Learns Attitude Toward Chancellor Copenhagen, July 14.—According to

Berlin newspapers the Crown Prince, in Interviews Thursday with Reich­stag party leaders, including Herr David and other socialists, interested himself chiefly in obtaining from the deputies their views on the person and policy of Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the Imperial chancellor. The crown prince is reported to have said he was doing this in accordance with the wish of Emperor William.

The morning papers appear to have had no intimation of the impending strike of Reichstag deputies and the emperor's summons to Field Marshall Von" Hindenburg, chief Of the general staff. • £ ""

Calls It Treason. San Francisco, July 14.—"Any com­

Ornbaum, assist­ant United States district attorney said after appeals for federal aid to halt an alleged I. W. W. conspiracy to destroy crops had been received from Yolo, Stanislaus, Alameda and other California counties.

According to Ornbaum, burning or destruction of crops will constitute "giving aid to the enemy."

WILSON'S PLANS BEING FOLLOWED

six times its cost of production before the war. Extraction of the product from sugar will insure production, offcials estimate, at 25 cents a pound or less. The immense importance of the discovery in conserving the fat supply of the nation is pointed out by officials who declare that Germany's fat shortage is largely due to the use of fats for production of explosives. Germany has long since been forced to discontinue the manufacture of soap in order to conserve the fats for munitions making.

The discovery is the first to be an­nounced by chemists working in co­operation with the council of national defense.

Washington, July 14.—Plans for speeding up final action of food con­trol legislation, in the senate in ac­cordance with the suggestion of Presi­dent Wilson, covered in a communi­cation to Senator Martin, democratic floor leader of the senate, were being mapped out today by administration leaders.

One of the first moves to that end was to arrange for a meeting early in the coming week of the senate demo­cratic steering committee, when efforts will be made to perfect the original house bill along the lines pro­posed by the president to provide for government control of food stuffs, feeds, and fuels only.

The president and H. C. Hoover are opposed to the substitute offered by Senator Gore, on the ground that it emasculated the administration bill.

Prospects seemed bright today that senate leaders would be able to so change the pending bill as to make certain its passage. The debate on the food bill continued in the senate today.

Leaders of the mob, accord­ing to officials of the Western Federa­tion of Miners, were sent here by the Industrial Workers of the World.

The foreign miners with their wives and children fled on ev,erjr. possible conveyance. The mob last night ston­ed their homes and wounded more than a hundred.

Paris, July 14.—France today cele brated its national fete with fervor and quiet joy unknown in many years. The Russian revolution has made Frenchmen realize more vividly the meaning of the great epoch, which, dawning in America in 1776, cul­minated in France in 1789 in a great revolution, whose spirit, after over a century is about to have its full fru­ition in the destruction of the last Bastlle of absolutism by the forces of allied democracies.

"It is a pity," said Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber of deputies, in a message to the Journal, "that the Germans cannot see our national fete, they who believe us to be starving and at the end of our resources.

"America's intervention, which is a decisive verdict on the justice of our cause, is a sure guarantee of victory. It makes more than ever our duty to hold on."

Germans Fight Miniature Battle Of Messines Along Belgian Coast; v Valorous Defense of British Only

Thing to Make the Fight Historic

If; m

fVr ::

iV *4

British Headquarters in France, July 14.—-(By the Associated Press.) —The German attack along the sand dunes' of the Belgian coast on Tues­day-evening was in nearly all respects a, miniature - of the British attack on the &esslnes ridge on June 7. It seem­ed as if the Germans had studied that battle in detail and planned their thrust wholly on the lessons learned. There was a, vast difference in thg size of the two .operations, however, for while the German attack on Tues­day was limited to 1,400 yards the British charge at Messines was along a ten-mile front. The depth of the two! attacks was also in the ratio of ten . to one, the German's having ad-vanced only about 600 yards or to the British Support line, where they are now endeavoring to entrench them­selves, while the British have fallen back to the bank of tha Yser.

This little battle on the sands will , live l&rgely through the valorous de­fense of the English troops who met

. the shock of the German massed for­mations after-having their 1 protecting

-defenses blown to 'pieces about them

by the greatest concentration of Ger­man shell fire seen on this front in more than a year. The trenches dug amid. the blowing and shifting sand dunes were speedily obliterated by the storm of high explosive shells the Germans were able to pour on them.

Most of the shells were the famous 5.9 projectiles and upward, few field guns having come Into play.

.During the terrific bombardment which lasted, ail through Tuesday the fortifications recently taken over by the British could fairly be seen to dissolve.

The German lines to the river Tser and. the sea formed a triangle, the base of which was the coast line. In this line, the sand of which are dyed red with English blood, were North­hampton troopB and Kings Royal Ri­fles. The garrison fought to the death and the German report of 1,250 pris­oners taken cannot be correct.

The temporary bridges across the Tser had been blown to bits during the barrage fire and the troops which eventually escaped across the flyer had to swim the- stream. *

Governors to Distribute quo­tas—That and Only

Drawing Left.

Washington, July 14.—An import­ant preliminary step toward the or­ganization of America's new national army was taken with the publication today of President Wilson's order drafting 687,000 men into military service under the selective conscrip­tion law. The order was issued by the war department, together with an of­ficial allotment of the number of men to he required from each state and territory.

Distribution by the governors of the state quota's among the local exemp­tion districts and the great lottery to establish the order in which regis­trants are to be called into the serv­ice are the only steps that remain to be carried out.

BRITISH TRANSPORT IS SUNK; ELEVEN ARE

BELIEVED DROWNED London, July 14.—The British

transport Armadale has been sunk by a submarine, it is officially announced.

The statement announcing the sink­ing says:

"Six soldiers, one passenger and four of the crew are missing and it is presumed were drowned."

The Machine Gun Company and M Company, First North Dakota In­fantry, will assemble at the armory at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning in ac­cordance with President Wilson's or­ders, calling the entire National Guard into the federal service.

While the North Dakota guards­men, together with the National Guard of other states in the "north­west, are called into the federal ser­vice on July 15, the actual draft does not become operative until August 15, when the entire guard will have been summoned. Owing to transportation difficulties, it was necessary to call the guard out in three increjnents-r— the first July 15, the second'July 25 and the third Augus't 5. Later, the men will mobilize at Fort Lincoln, whence they will leave for Deming, N. M.t for further training.

Just what the program for tomor­row will be. Captain Oscar Holm of M. Company or Captain L. L. Eckman of the Machine Gun Company are un­able to state. Further orders are ex­pected to reach the city tonight or earlv tomorrow morning.

The equipment of the companies probably will be inspected tomorrow morning and in the future, the sold­iers wil abandon civil ocupations and serve the government only. Head-ouarters will be made in the armory and the present recruiting office in the Model Laundry building on North Fourth street will remain open to en­courage enlistments.

The companies still lack a large number oV men before registering full war strength, but it is believed that the ranks will be filled up before the departure lo Fort Lincoln, which.may be the latter part of next week.-

Just how much longer than that period they will be detained there, officials are unable to state, but it is expected that it will be at least August fifth before departure is taken.

For the second time in a little over a year, the North Dakota National guard is entering the federal service. One year ago last June, with the Mex­ican crisis developing into a serious affair, the guardsmen were ordered to the border. Eight months of intensive training, developed the Dakotans into a crack military machine, with a re­cord for efficiency that was unequall­ed. Military authorities havip ox-pressed their confidence in the North Dakota guardsmen, and it is believed that the various companies from throughout the state will be among the first to cross the ocean to France.

BASTILE DAY MESSAGE TO U.S.; LIBERTY SHALL LIGHTTHEWORLD

(Note—On the anniversary of the fall of the Bastlle, Jean J. Jusserand, French ambassador to Washington, has given to The Herald an exclusive statement on the significance of the day. It is the first statement for pub­lication given by Jusserand during the war.—Editor.)

By Jean J. Jusserand, French Ambas­sador to the United States)

Washington, D. C., July 14.—Close­ly connected, one having had much to do with the other, Independence day and Bastile day, which occurred only 13 years apart, have the same mean­ing: the one made clear to every visitor to these shores by the French-given statue at the entrance of New York harbor; Liberty must light the world.

After Independence day and after Bastile day. we thought the battle for liberty had been won forever. It had not, and we have to .fight over again, the whole world taking part, arrayed in two camps; the camp of freedom and the camp of depotlsm.

For the first time our July four­teenth finds us once more, as in the early days, arrayed in a league for independence with the nations whose only allies we had been up to now, and the only one of the great nations of the world with which France has never been at war. * 1 >

Once more, as in the time of Wash-

tT.S - Josser an r>

ington, France and the United States, are allied. The issue Is certain. We do not know what date It wlU occur, but we know what It will be, LJBiCR-TY ^HALL LIGHT THE WORLD.
