WAR SCARE
 IN ORIENT
RuSso-cHINEsE SITUATION DE vELoPE SERIOUS ASPECT
 FROM WAR POINT.
Russia Engaged in Making Military Demonstration in Manchuria--ul- tmatum Prcsentd to the
 Empire of China.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-Tae strain ed relations between Russia and China have finally resulted In decisive action by he Russian government. Accord ing to instructions M. Korotovitz, the Russian minister to China, has pre- sented to that government note bearing upon the treaty of 1881, which China has seemed disposed to abro- gate. The note contains six points and Russia insists upon compliance on pain of complete cessation of friendly relations.
 These are as follows:
 1--Russia's right to impose impor. and export duties unlimited, except in the fifty yerst zone. which is duty free.
 2-That the extra territorial rights |of Russians in China shall not be in- fringed; that legal suits involving Russians and Chinese shall be con sidered by a mixed Jurisdiction.
 3-That Russians shall enjoy spe- cial privileges of trade and duty free commerce in Mongolia and the extra wall provinces.
 4--That Russian consuIates can be immediately opened at Kobdo. Khami and Guchen.
 5-Due respect of the local author ities for Russia consuls.
 6-Russians to enjoy the right to acquire real estate and erect struc- lures in Mongolia and the extra wall provinces.
 Russia Seeks Change.
 London, Feb 16.-The Daily Tele- graphs St. Petersburg correspondent discussing the Russo Chinese difri. culty, points out that the treaty Of 1881 will expire in August and that Russia is desir0us of recasting her relations with China in new mold But while the Russian government is anxious to revive the friendly rela. tions of fifteen years ago, China's standpoint has undergone a change. China denies violation of the treaty and claims that Russia herself vio- lated the far mora important secret treaty of 1896.
 China is willing. continues the cor respondent, to refer this latter point to arbitration and says that the United States government possesses all the data on this subject American diplo- mats conversant with the affairs of both countries are dcsirous of recon cling the parties +. the present dis pute aud argue these difference would prove an excellent subject for arbs- traitor and at the same time. exhort Russia to make allowance for the changed conditions in China since the eighties. change rooted not in a loss of respect for "Tsardom, but in the rapid growth of China's self con sciousness.'
 The greatest curiosity is manifest ed in diplomatic circles as to the role which Japan will play in the present crisis. and also respecting tae atti tude the United States is likely to adept should Russia carry out her threats It is believed. however, that President Taft's cabinet vii! .et SC beyond gentle intercession.

The debate on the subject Of Social

men of today will hardly accept this as
an inducement, and yet such are the
conditions.
The state of Connecticut has done
a whole lot more for her soldiers than
any other state, and is doing it today;
and now that the Federal Government
has taken hold of and is expecting
much more of the officers and men than
they have ever before, which is no
more than right and should have been
done years ago, the General Government
must also expect to stand good share
of the necessary expenses"

Either the people Of Devils Lake
were hoaxed into believing that they
were entertaining member of the Nor
wcgian legation or else what is far
more probable the Sunday supplement
of the Minneapolis Tribune INDUCED in
the questionable practice Of using
stock cut to illustrate a Washington

III the magazine section issued yes
terday there is a story headed "Fads
of Prominent People," featuring the
fancics of Viscountcss d'Azy, whom
the picture shows skating with William
Thorleif de Munthe de Morgenstierne.
In the picture the gentleman with the
long name is shown as stocky, short
man with a mustache and bears no
resemblance to the tall, well built,
smooth faced young man who was en-
tertained short time ago by the To-
cal Norwegians.
The picture created considerable com.
ment in Devils Lake yesterday among

SEATTLE GIRL TRAVELS FROM

Sunday on the Great Northern train for
her home after visit with her aunts
and other relatives in Missouri. The
little miss claims quite record as a

The girl, several weeks ago, left her
home, armed with the emblems Of her
fathers fraternity and plenty of mon

assured her a safe journey, had she not
been guarded by the Shriner's pin She

Soon had won the love Of all the long
distance passengers in the car.
Observant, she saw things from the
car window. Inquisitive, she wanted to
know about them. She saw the prairie
dogs standing on the mound by the en-
trance to their home and folding their
hands as they watched the train rush
by, and she thought that was funny
thing for them to do. She was anxious
to know if there were any elephants in
"those hills yonder, or any bears" and
scores of other questions which she pro-
pounded to the willing travelling COM
ranions many years her senior.
The little girl gave the information
that she went east some weeks ago
to visit her aunt, Mrs. Annie Naylor of
3117 Perry avenue, Kansas City, Mo-,
another aunt, Miss Sallie Goodman,
of Cameron, Mo-, and a third aunt,
Mrs. Jane Goodman, of Lawson, Mo.
She told her fellow passengers that her
father was a manufacturer Of de2cra-
tions at Seattle. Several persons who
came with her from western points to
Devils Lake were enthusiastic in tell
ing about what charming and intelli-
gent little miss she was.

After Dee Reade over at the Great
Northern had recovered from his fit
of coughing which had been superin-
duced by the fragrant smoke from the
hotel reporters Pittsburg stogie, he
began to talk about wedding that
he and one Of his best girls had at
tended few nights ago in Minneapolis.
cit was a fine wedding" said Dee,
everything connected with it was
high toned. The flowers were beauti-
full, the bride looked just as lovely as
full blown rose and the bridegroom
was a masterly looking young fellow
who looked as though he knew his
business. Everything passed off just
as it should pass off at well regu-
lated and we'll conducted function Of
the kind.
"But there was one thing that mar
red the whole business and that was
baby that had been brought by a
loving father and mother. The way
that youngster yelled was something
awful. 1t kept it up during the entire
service and everybody was disgusted
and annoyed.
1T know there were several people
who actually went home before the
elaborate lunch was served, for they
couldn It stand that young un's yelps.

one thing, Dee, I'm going to have

The above item taken from the "F'or-

Press, st. Paul, recalls many an in
cident in the mind Of the old-timer in
Devils Lake. From what can be
gathered in conversation with few Of
the pioneers of this city, Major W. H.
Forbes was appointed Indian Agent
for the Devils Lake Agency in 1871. In
the book written by James Mclaughlin
entitled "My Friend the Indian'' it
says: "rhe expedition started from
the present location Of the Hotel Ryan
in St. Paul, Mimi, and it had taken
many days and nights of hard work to
equip the train with the numerous ar

Colonel Schultze predicts that it will
be necessary for the Federal Govern
ment to provide some relief if the Ma

mel Schultze, "no matter from what
State, will tell you that since the pass

creased and majority of. company
commanders have hard work to keer

This may sound strange, but it is moth
ing less than fact. Since the annual
outings Of the old guards have gone
into history and the real working
camps have been established, the men
are not there.
"When men are asked to come in
they want to know what inducement
there is for them to join. Then you
might talk patriotism, military educa-
ton, or anything YOU think Of, but the
last thing Of all to induce them is pa
triotism, which, strange as it may seem
lis possessed by very few men in times
Of peace. Patriotism does not seem to
come to most men until the day when
war is declared. when they all get full
of it to the neck, but too late.

Expenses Of Membership.

Gas matters stand today, in the mill
tia there is not man, from the high
est officer to the private, who is not
out of pocket financially by the mere
reason Of his membership.
"Now, as to army officers needed for
instructors for the militia, want to
say that they are needed very much,
but let us have the militia first. No
community would ever think of hiring
a lot of school teachers until they had
the children to be taught.
IT know not why, but there appears
to be, just the same, a number Of regu-
lar army officers retired, who should be
in the service.
"We have one Of them at the pres
ent time on duty in the Connecticut
National Guard, who, it appears, was
retired for physical disability.
"He can eat more and drink more
and can get around, on horseback or on
foot, as well as any officer there is in
the national guard, which was proved
by him at our encampment last summer
and I want to add here that we have a
lot of good, lively soldiers in the ma
tional guard,
Preferable to Army.
"But may this be as it will, the
American people prefer a militia to a
large standing army, and one or the
other we must have, and as it must be
the militia, we should do all we can to
| have well-trained and reliable milit-
ia, and in order to get the men volun-
tarily we must give some inducement
to come in. To give them small
compensation for the time and work re.
+, quired of them would seem to be not
only fair, but consistent.
"We are obliged to acquaint each
man with the duties required of him
before he enlists: also the laws and
regulations which govern his acts
Just imagine the effect on a prospec
tive when the captain informs him
| that he must attend at least one drill
every week, for which he is to get
no other compensation than the benefit
he may gain in military training; but
if he misses a drill sickness excepted,

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR SCIENCE

At the University of Minnesota has been
discovered the first germ killer that is not q
poison; what science has been striving to find
for ages. This new chemical is therefore the
only one that can be used to kill germs in
human flesh and bone. Throw away danger
Gus poisons: carbolic, iodine, corrosive subli-
mate, peroxide. No need to have poisons in
the home or factory. Governmental tests
prove the superiority and safety of Benetol.
which is setting ,hc scientific world agog by
its swift power or wounds. burns and sores.
Tests show Benetol the only germ killer that
can be swallowed with safety, and absolutely
the only mouth wash and nasal douche that
will kill germs. Prevents lockjaw, blood
poisoning, diphtheria, ETC., used as wash or
application. Benetol will Danish germs from
the home, protect life and health by proven
ton, deodorize and purifyin bath and laundry;
is homes greatest safeguard. An association
of physicians has been formed to spread
knowledge of Benetol. Ten cents stamps,
sent to Benetol, Minneapolis, Mimi, U. A..
will bring valuable information and sample.
