TRUCE IN
ENGLAND
TO COLLAPSE
(ey United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, May 10.-There are
signs today of the collapse of the
truce between the liberals and the
conservatives, declared shortly
after King Edwards death, in or
der to give King George smooth
sailing at the opening of his reign.
1t is feared in political circles that
the crisis will come soon.
The liberals accuse the conser-
vatives of taking advantage of the
understanding between the two par
ties to strengthen their position.
The liberals fear that delay in
their fight on the lords will weaken
their chances to end the veto power
of the upper house of parliament.
1t is now considered likely that the
liberals will make. another attempt
to end the lords veto power and
the struggle will come before the
end of the summer.

BOND ELECTIONS
FOR WEDNESDAY,

For the fourth time a date has been
fixed for bond election In Fargo for
a better water supply and for a third
time the voters will have an opportun-
ity Wednesday to cast their ballots for
or against the plan.
Tho first time the voters decided for
both an improved waterworks system
and municipal lightning plant, but
improperly drawn resolutions. which
coupled the two in one combination,
made the issue invalid.
The next time only the water pro2o-
sition was submitted TO the voters. In
resentment the advocates Of a muni-
cipal lightning system fought the prop
osition, while the friends OF an improv-
ed water supply didn't deem there waa
anyone in the city so blind to their
own interests as to oppose the PLAN
and the bond isue failed
Once more a date was set, this time
for both propositions separately but
proper notice of an election was not
given and the vote was called off q
day or two before the date set.
This time the resolutions seen. "a
be properly drawn and the voters get
a chance Wednesday to 4ecls..e lD i
filtration and d better water supply.
They also have an opportunity to de-
feat the plan Of saddling municipal
lighting system onto Fargo.
