MAY HAVE TALKS
FOR The WOMEN
MOVEMENT is STARTED TO GIVE
TALKS TO FARGO WOMEN AT
COMMERCIAL. cLuR REGARplNe,
PATRoNlzING HOME PRODUCTS
AND FARGO MADE GOODS.

A movement that may materialize in
a short while has been launched by
certain men prominent in the CONNER
cial club to have series Of talks given
for the benefit or the women Of the
city on the subject Of purchasing only
Fargo made goods whenever possible.
1t has been safely stated that rs per
cent of the buyers in the city are wo-
men and not the men and that this
question of economic and civic inter-
est should be presented to the real
purchasers. For this reason the pro-
posed meetings for the women Of the
city may be attempted within a few
weeks after the close Of the holiday
season.
Patronizing home industries is a
question of Importance and has been
presented to the members of the COM
mercial club on numerous occasions
this fall and 1t is now felt that 1t
should be doubly impressed on the
minds of every member in every home
in the city that can be reached by
having talks for the benefit of the wo-
men of the city.
This movement will doubtless be
launched with great success by the
members of the executive committee
who are interested in starting the ag-
itation in that direction and with the
CO. operation of Secretary Slime soon
after Christmas.

rived at their destination in good
spirits and the host cordially extend

between the Halberg and Wiste crowds.
Two or three clashes between the fac

Protests Against Breaking the
Treaty Of 1882
AMBASSADOR SEES TAFT
NOW THAT UNCLE SAM HAS DE.
cIDED TO DISCIPLINE BEAR
FOR NOT HoNoRINc JEWISH
PASSPORTS, THERE PROMISES
TO BE SOMETHING DOING"

Washington, Dec. 16.--What in diplo-
mats language is interpreted here
as practically a threat by Russia to
sever all friendly relations with the
United States in the event that con-
the treaty of 1892 with that country
has been made to Taft and Secretary
of State Knox.
Russian Ambassador, George Bakh-
metieff, called at the White House to-
day and formally protested against the
abrogation Of the treaty of 1892 with
Russia, on the ground that such ac-
ton would be inconsistent with the
long friendship that has existed be-
tween the two countries.
President Taft called Secretary
Knox into the conference. The am
bassador let it be known that Russia
was decidedly dissatisfied with the
Sulzer resolution. After the diplo-
mats departure, Taft and Knox con-
tinued in consultation.
While neither the president nor
Knox was alarmed over the turn of
affairs, 1t was said at the White House
determined effort will be made by
the senate leaders 10 modify the Sui
ger resolution. Owing to the reticence
or all concerned in the negotiations, it
was impossible today to learn the ex-
act nature Of the protest
1t is believed however. to have been
directed primarily against the Ian
guage of the Soluzer resolution. which
boldly declares that Russia violated
the terms of the treaty of 1882
When informed OF this to sensitive
he saw nothing insulting to ''sentitive
Russia" In the resolution.
