NUMBER OF AMERICANS
RESIDENT I'M LONDON.
Seven Thousand IL Consul Generals
Figure, but 1t 10 Only Guess

The American consul general. j. L.
Grifhth, asked by the state depart
ment for a report ON the number OF
Americans resident in London, has
given an estimate Of about 1000, but
candidly says this is simply a guess
Several attempts have been made to
determine the number OF Americans
living permanently here. but never
with any great success only go
Americans are registered at the con-
sulate general American directories
have also been published, but they
contain even fewer names and those
only of the well known Americans
Mr. Grifith's estimate is considered
quite conservative. Americans are
found In every walk of life in London
They are, however, widely scattered
In the first place there are great
many Americans In business IN Lon
don, but only a small proportion OF
these are members OF the American
society or kindred organizations, and
the others. not generally known to
their fellow countrymen, are swallow
ed up in the great vortex or Lonoons
population of 100000.
AnOlHSE -
the American population of London Is
the large number OF young men en-
ployed as managers or experts In Brit
ish business houses and factories.
This is particularly true OF electric
concerns. The headquarters staff OF
the United Railways, which controls
great underground system, miles or
tubes and connecting street railways,
is composed, for example. largely OF
Americans, while the Central London
railway, the original tube. now being
extended In several directions, is be-
ing developed under the guidance OF
an American. Then the estimate must
include the Americans OF means, to-
falling many hundreds, who are max
ing their homes here, and last, but not
least, the American women who have
married Englishmen.
In addition to London almost every
city of Importance in the country has
an American colony, and outside the
cities many a country house has an
American for owner or tenant

An important ruling has recently
been received at the local land office
modifying the decision of the depart

In the case of Esberne X. Muller the
Department held that Communication
proof could be allowed only upon a
showing Of substantially continuous
personal presence upon the land for a
period of fourteen months next pre-
cccding the submission of proof; and
residence prior to a period OF absence
under leave Of absence granted the en-

subsequent to that period to make up
the necessary fourteen months. go L.

TO USE TELEPHONES
WESTERN UNION EDEAvoR1NG
TO GET AID FROM TELE-
PI,ONE COMPANIES.

Arrangements are fast being COM
pleted by the Western Union Tele
graph Company, working with the
Northwestern Telephone company, to
have fifteen or twenty telephonetele-
graph zone offices ready Jan. Is. The
system has not yet been fully worked
out, but the officials of the telegraph
company are hopeful Of success.
For instance, if person in Devils
Lake desired TO get INTO communication
with some of the towns in which the
telegraph Office closes during the early
hours of the evening, the message will
be transmitted to the nearest point and
from there conveyed by telephone.
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Iowa,
northern Michigan and northern Wis
consin will be included in the zone
Night operators will be maintained in
these zone offices. In several telegraph
offices, telephones are yet to be in
stalled to make the service effective
At points where the telegraph company
works with railroad, and the operator
leaves at 6 p. M, an Independent night
service will be put in.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
PLANS STRENUOUS YEAR

for the press Those who have read
the manuscript and are competent to
judge, assert that it will be the most
startling book written in many years.
Not that the text possesses anything
that is yellow or lurid hut because Of
the stupenduous problems Of state
which have been woven around the
story Of love and woman's fidelity
that is heart gripping in its intensity.
The scenes are laid in the United
States senate where for eighteen years
the author was an active and influen-
tial member. The story hinges on the
love affair of brilliant young senator
and woman whose position in life
makes her the leader Of society as he
is destined to be leader Of men.
Love and law making are so blended
that the one becomes the helpmeet of
the other and neither lags in interest.
The book as whole will show
some Of the inside features of law
making, the influences that control
the powers against which men in pub
lie l1f, are forced to fight and the
methods to which resort is had il: or
der that men who seek to do things
may be silenced, are all graphically
portrayed.
The style is not only fascinating be-
cause Of the purity Of its English, but
the action is that indescril.ahle kind
which holds the mind intent upon the
theme While it sweeps on from one
rounded period to another.
While many of the characters could
be pointed out in real life by the stu
dent of politics. t]:ey arn So urawn
that thcu tit the class rather shan the
individual and are treated WITH the
honest .::and fairness Of the STUDENT t
of pubic aaffirs rather tha,. Of the.
caustic critic of public men and pub
Tic affairs.
The leading publishers are bidding
for the book and assure the aatior that
it will not only be lasting piece. of
literature but that it will ha,c !, ire
menduous sale.

TO START ROAD
MINOT COMMERCIAL CLUB HAS
NEW IDEA TO WORK ON DUR
ING COMING YEAR.

Minot, N. D., Jan. 9.-The Minot
Commercial Club, which originated the
idea Of establishing highway across
the state from the Montana to the
Minnesota line, for the use particularly
Of automobile tourists, has decided to
feature it's construction as one Of its
main 1911 obgjects, and is ready to
take up active preliminary work. Com
mittees will be named to interest the
towns and farmers, and if they meet
with the success they hope for, the
road building will begin with the first
signs of spring. It is proposed to
start the road at Mondak on tho west
ern boundary and terminate it at Far
go on the east.

Prospects for the success Of the Com
mercial Club never looked brighter
than on Tuesday night at the annual
meeting of the members for the pur-
pose Of electing officers for the ensuing
year. The meeting was attended by
over sixty Of the business men Of the
city, all Of them enthusiastic and all
agreed to support any action which
would result in the betterment of Dew
lis Lake.
President Kerlin briefly outlined the
work that had been done during the
past year and made several valuable
suggestions for the future. Mr.. Ker
in has made an excellent president and
received the thanks Of the Club for his
untiring efforts in behalf Of the city.
The members then proceeded to bal
lott, electing w. W. Horton as presi-
dent by a unanimous vote, Steve Jones
was made Vice President in the same
manner, Allie Haig Treasurer, M. j.
Cowley was unanimously reelected Sec
retary and the following were selected
as directors: A. H. Bell, John Haslem,
and w. H. Reid.
The selection Of the officers could not
be improved upon and the business
men of the city have already signifed
their intentions Of standing solidly be-
hind the president and his board.
Following the election Pres. Horton
was called upon for few remarks.
His talk was interesting, we'll delivered
and full of meaty thuoghts regarding
the plans for the coming year. Mr..
Horton believes in dividing the work to
be done and assigning it to the differ
ent Boards. A brief resume Of his
ideas are contained above.
Mr.. Horton complimented the three
papers in the city and pointed out the
value Of newspaper that boosted to
the community. "Get together was
the keynote of all of Pres. Horton g
IDEAS and there is little doubt but
what the spirit is catching and there
will be a sppedy healing Of existing
breaches.
Following Mr.. Horton, the meeting
was thrown open for general discussion.
MI. Kelly spoke of the necessity of ac-
ton with regard to the lakes supply
of water. He suggested that an effort
be made to secure the surplus water
from the Mouse river and divert is in
to the lake. This would be rather ex.
pensive but would mean much to til
people of this community.
The Chautauqua was taken up and
thoroughly discussed and the various
ideas advanced all tended to show the
interest that Devils Lake people take
in the annual event. Transportation
facilities, modes of entertainment and
financial backing were all brought up
Taken all in all the meeting was one
full of action and will be prolific of
results in the near future, from the
manner in which the officers are al.
ready taking hold. The Board of Di.
rectors meet on Friday evening and
will start on the plans for the year.
The World extends its thanks on be-
half Of the citizens to the outgoing
president and board of directors. Thei1
work has been energetic and always

AUTOMOBILE CASE
HANDED DOWN
IMPORTANT DECISION AFFECTING
USE OF MOTORS HAS BEEN
RENDERED BY COURT.

Word was received in the city late
yesterday afternon of an important
decision by the United States Circuit
Court in the case brought against the
manufacturers Of the Ford, Velie and
Moline automobiles, claiming infringe
mcnt on the Seldom patent For sever
al years these manufacturers have been
depositing a large sum of money to
cover the royalties claimed by the in
ventor and the decision has been
watched with no little interest among
the automobile men.
The court in it's decision decides that
the Auto Motor used by the three cars
is not an infringement on the Seldom
patent and allows them to continue its
use.
!. The effect of the decision on automo-
bile prices will be watched with uncon-
ccalcd interest.

the lack of material results cannot be
laid at their door but rather be blamed,
to the lack of cooperation among the

domestic Science at the earliest oppor-

domestic Science at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
It will, too, if it has large view
of what the school stands for, make it
more and more social center, where
lectures can be given and entertain
ments held for the benefit of the com
munity
In these northern climates, where we
are shut in for long hours, amusements
come to occupy an increasingly impor-
tant place. The long distances from
centers of population make it expen-
sive and difficult to secure important
lecturers. The community, therefore,
is compelled to rely largely upon itself.
There is no reason why we should not
all have larger intellectual life, more
amusements through the use Of Univer-
sity Extension lectures, the establish
ment of local theatricals, and the or
ganization of study club.
turn now to another element in the
life ofthe community, which, for the
lack Of better term, is called the
moral element. Every community is
known by its standards of living and
by it's attitude toward the enforcement
of law. The protection of the young
from questionable entertainments is
highly important to the welfare and fu-
ture of the community. 1t makes the
problem of police enforcement and the
maintenance Of the general tone of the
community much easier where it recog
nizes it's responsibility in the fullest
sense.
Finally. when we come to the ques-
tion Of what we can do Immediately in
the development Of our city, there is
much that can be brought to our at
tentiol, such Us the identifying of
yards and lawns under private initia-
tive, through the offering of prizes by
the commercial club, and the cstab-
lishment of leagues and organizations
that will stimulate action in various
directions; the maintenance of Boys
Scout Brigade in the community, where
young people are directed toward use
full and worthy things; and above all,
a clear recognition Of the fact that no
community can be built up unless we
are loyal to it and really recognize
that we are part of it. The great
bane of North Dakota is the fact that
people do not lige here with the deter.
mination of staying, snd consequently
many of them 10 nat identify them
selves with the community. as they
/ should.
The history of towns and cities
wherever they are found, especially
those that have made progress, is one
that points to community of interests
and clear public opinion upon matters
of Importance. Division and factional
corte:ts never bring a city anywhere
In the end clear ideas regarding the
plans for the future, adherence to them
and prompt execution of them, Wi!
make any community that Spends tifne
and money on it really worth living ir.
and il, addition will make it notef!S
beautiful place.
