CBNERALLY I WALTON WILL BEYERYMUCH INCIDENCE League Leader Resents tion That He Has Deserted the Ship WAY AID IN CAUCUS RULE Probable That Veteran Warhorse From Ward Will Be Used by Townley Although he was defaatcd for election to the house, Rep Anthony Walton of Ward, the master leaguer who is here serving on the state et 'board as chairman of the house propriation committee, assures the press that he will be very much ent during the next eglsative session. "I Intend to be here throughout assembly. I believe that I can do fully as much 'iof the league in my private as I could on the floor of tho house, and everything that I can do 1 intend to do," said the old warhorse from today. Rep. Walton rather resented a cent newspaper illusion to his defeat, in which it was stated that "Reps.

Is Old-Timer. As lobbyist, member of the steering committee, assistant conductor of the secret league caucus, or in any other capacity iu which Mr. Townley may use him, Anthony Walton is expected to prove a very, valuable servant. He is au old-time leader in North Dakota farmers' economic and political ments.

His personal following throughout the state probably is larg' er than that of any other prominent loader. He is generally Mgarded as a type of the Nonpartisans who will form tho ibasis of a reorganization which is believed certain to come lAter after the fallacies of the extreme socialist program upon which the league now 1b embarked have been exposed. Just at present, however, Townley has in the. whalp no faithfal lieutenant than Anthony ton. It was Townley who made ton president of the state Equity 'sofclfety when big chief decided to remove the offending M.

It is to Townley that Walton, whose sincerity none is inclined to doubt, looks upon as the Moses who is to lead the wandering farmer children of Israel into the promised state single tax Utopian gauds. And Anthony wants it strictly derstood that he will be very much among those present when tho 16th legislative assembly convenes. CONGRESS OFF FOR SHORT VACATION Washington, Nov.

AT DRAMATIC SCENES MARK SURRENDER OF MIGHTY HUN FLEET TO ALLIED NATIONS Fallen Giant of Sea Who Had Refused to Fight Goes Down to Ignominious Miles of Hun Craft, Heart of New Navy, Now in the Hands of the Allies (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) Edinburg, Nov. as a naval power ceased to exist today. heart of her mighty fleet, 14 ships of line, seven light cruisers and 50 destroyers, surrendered to an armada of British, American and French vessels, the greatest Ifighting force that ever stood out to sea. The minutely detailed program of submission was carried out according to plan. The German warships strung out in a line almost 20 miles long, appeared at the rendezvous at the appointed.

time and were escorted into the Firth of Forth between a double line of allied vessels. WONDERFUL SIGHT Although the wonderful naval spectacle was the same as a peace time review, and evoked little enthusiasm, the haze blotting out the horizon, American and British officers could hardly credit ehe evidence of their eyes. Men animated by the spirit of Lawrence's "Don't give up the ship" and Nelson's "England expects every man to do his duty," could not conceive of such an inglorious ending as that to which the enetny fleet was committed. An Associated Press representative heard an officer standing on the deck of an American superdreadnaught say: "Even the poor old Spaniards, knowing they had no chance, came out of Santiago." For the most part officers and men were silent in the midst of the climacteric event in history, which Americans realized, left America the second greatest sea-power. They seemed to feel a sort of contemptuous pity for the fallen giant of the sea who had refused to fight.

SIGHTED AT 9:20 A.M. The German ships were sighted by the allied column at 9:20 o'clock, following their British pilot, the light cruiser Cardiff, which, with destroyers and other small craft had ranged ahead the allied fleet. The enemy studiously complied with Admiral Beatty's orders, and it was well for their own sakes that they did. Every vessel that steamed out to meet them floated a battle sign and was ready for immediate battle, with all men and officers at their stations. READ TO FIRE Five American battleships, the New York, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Florida, were ready to fire every battery upon word from Admiral Rodman.

"There iB not the slightest possibility of any trouble, but- we are overlooking no chances," said Admiral Rodman. WEIGH ANCHOR The fleet began to weigh anchor at 1 o'clock this morning. The American vessels fell into line behind Admiral Beatty's The rendezvous was fifty miles distant, and the ships gauged their speed to arrive at the appointed place at 8 o'clock. On the bridges the ships' companies were hidden behind bulwarks of steel. dawn broke the sea was again Covered with a fnist.

Eyes straining through the murky haze were at last warded. Off the starboard bow the Cardiff, sailing an observation kite baloon, came steaming in. Behind her came the German sel Seydlitz. After her came four others of the same type, the Dersslinger, Von der Tan, Hindenburg and Moltke. Immediately following them were nine dreadnailghts, the Frederick der Grosse, flagship of Rear Admiral Von Reuter, the Koenig Albert, Kaiser, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kaiserin, Dayern, Markgras, Prinz Regent Luitpold and the Grosser Kerfurst.

Three miles to the stern of the battleships came seven light cruisers, the Karlsruhe, bearing the ensign of Commodore Harder, the Frankfurt, Emsden, Dernberg, Brummer, Koln and Bremen. Then came another gap of three miles, and German destroyers appeared, steaming in five columns abreast, with ten destroyers to the column. SIX MILES DISTANT Six miles separated the allied columns and squarely between them the Cardiff brought her charges, all steaming at the lated speed of 10 knots. As ordered, their guns were in regular fore and aft position and as far as powerful glasses could termine there was no signs to provoke suspicion. Until all the major Ships had been followed up in the enveloping allied columns the latter never for a moment relaxed their alert watch.

Over the Germans circled a British- dirigible which acted as eyes for the English ships. 4 5l -r FOG LIFTS' Whn the German ships had reached the western end of the flanking columns the allied ships put about in squadrons. Quickly reforming their line they proceeded to escort their enemy into the Firth of Forth. By noon the fog had disappeared and a grand view of the vast array of war craft could be seen. The captive Germans were piloted to anchorages assigned to them and British ships from southern columns closed in as guards.

The northern columns steamed up to the other anchorages. TO BE INTERNED The enemy vessels will be interned in Scapa Flow. Part of the crew will remain for maintenance work and the remainder will be returned to Germany soon. Whether American ships have a further part to play in connection with this internment and ing the high seas is a question being discussed by officers and men of the United States squadron. Admiral Beatty's historic signal after the fleet had been moored at the appointed place, was: "The German flag is to be hauled down at 3:57 and is not to be hoisted again without permission.

ON WAR BASIS Washington, Nov. every German warships intended to be delivered to the allies is so delivered, the navy will continue to be under war regulations. With two floatillas of submarines now interned in British ports, navy officials estimate that nearly all of the German underseas fleet has been turned over. SCHEIDEMAN RESIGNS Basel, Nov.
