DLSROBING ACT
WAS UNPOPULAR

Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. 6.-Two
limitations of september Morn which
were. staged in Grand Forks Tuesday
night have set the police to hunting
for an unknown gentleman who ap-
pears to have a passion for posing
without his neither garments.
The first imitation was given in III.
Is. Chests ice cream parlor, between
8 and 8 o'clock in the evening.
A man strolled into the place, and
in an unconcerned began to
remove his clothes. The Mattresses
Immediately fled to the rear of the
shop, w~hereupon the unknown visitor
after rearranging his toilet, calmly
strolled out.
Some two hours later the same per-
Torrance was repeated at the Chlca-
go Chop Suey cafe, on DeMers ave-
nue.. 1t is supposed hat the same
man was responsible for Doth affairs.
The police received several COM
plants in the curse of the evening
regarding d man who was said to be
hanging around the outskirts of the
business section annoying women
who passed by. They believe it to
nave been the apostle of the nude.
Only a vague description of the
man in question was obtained but the
police are making strenuous efforts to
find him. 1t is supposed that he is
insane,

WOMEN IN THE CIVIL WAR.

A fine thing in motive and act is the
addition to an appropriation bill by
the senate Of sufficient money to build
a, memorial to American women, south
and north, who served the sick and
wounded during our great war. There
should be no doubt of the final pas
sage of the measure. The memorial
will be appropriately used as head
quarters by the Red Cross, which will
contribute $780, 900 and will provide
for It's upkeep. The service thus mem
orialized vas n of the most unself-
tsh that ever ennobled the earth. We
must not forget that when our great
war was fought surgery was almost
butchery compared with what it is to-
day. Trained nursing was unknown.
There were few. if any, adjuncts in
the art of healing now supplied by
science, not merely the dangers of
war which these devoted women
faced, but a battle with all the hor-
rors of suffering and sickness for the
relief of which there was little more
than common sense and infinite syn
pathy, and frequently with the scan
test of material means.
This was particularly the case with
the women Of the south. These wom-
en-, additionally, suffered what we of
the north knew nothing of, the hor-
rors Of actual war. 1t was at their
doors. The peaceful countryside in
the south, deserted by boys in their
teens and men, with women and the
blacks on guard alone, at any time
was invaded by armed forces battling
back and forth. We of the north felt
the war In the losses that came to our
fresides by the deaths at the front.
But we knew nothing more Of 1t than
this. 1t is well, then, that this me-
mortal should be to the women Of the
south also. 1t is an official expression
from a united country of a rare serv-
ice. In any other way we should not
have such sacrifices. Such women
would not leave their firesides to go
to the front. The Red Cross trained
nurses would step to the front just as
trained soldiers would do. we have
passed the time when the sacrifice of
mothers and wives and sisters shall
be made as it was made during our
great war. Fitting. indeed. is a great
memorial to them.

The Turk RECONSTRUCTED.

Philadelphia Saturday Post: In
comparison with what has succeeded
1t Turkish rule in eastern Europe now
appears to have been highly humane
and enlightened, with quite a tender
regard for the w~ell-being of the sub
ject masses. First the Balkan Allies
defeated Turkey; then the rest of
them combined and defeated Bulgaria
with vast slaughter-thereby enabling
the hated Turk to regain, fairly with
out a blow, fully half the territory
which Bulgaria had conquered from
the Crescent earlier in the year. AT
this writing Albania is fighting Servia,
while Greece is doing a little blood
letting on her. wv account, and Bull
garia Is suspected of secret ~negotia-
tons with Turkey for the purpose of
humiliating her Christian conquer
ors of last summer. European diplom-
acy seems to have given up the situa-
ton, and who will also be fighting
whom next week is beyond conjec-
ture.
Meanwhile we have a miniature re-
production of the ~desolation wrought
in Germany by the Thirty Years War,
and as in that d~electable case it looks
as though the fighting would stop only
when nothing more was left to burn
and kill. Probably a few months Of
liberation from Turkey have brought
more death and destruction in the
Balkans than the u~nspeakable n ac-
complished in a generation. We begin
to look upon the Turk as a fine
character, especially distinguished for
intelligence and benevolence.

MODERN DRAMA
WAS SUBJECT
PROFESSOR ANDREWS OF VAL
LEY CITY NORMAL SPOKE TO
STUDENTS OF FARGO COLLEGE
THIS MoRNING-AN INTEREST
ING ADDRESS.

Professor Andrews, Of the English
department of the Valley City normal,
spoke to the students OF Fargo college
on Modern Drama. He spoke of the
great revival of interest in the drama
ana described a course in play-writ-'
ing which he took at Harvard.
Ten or fifteen of us met around a
table for three hours a week. We
e u attempts to each other, and
then discussed them. Then the fur
flew. We had some distinguished
visitors. A man from Kansas has re-
Gently produced a play, the germ
thought Of which he read before that
class.
THE rewards for a successful play
are great, but the labor and strain
involved are almost beyond belief. The
gift must be born in n but the tech
nique can be taught successfully.
The two most important qualiica-
tons for a good play are interest and
honesty. No prescription can be given
for play-Writing. Honesty Is the
great need. The moving pictures
sceneries do not have, in many cases,
this honesty, this faithful picturing of
real life. They are too hastily writ
ten and produced.
Excessive attention to details of
SIAiS hoSS ASl hS d SOou drama
however. The faithful representation
OF men as they are. the illumination
and criticizing of life, makes the good
drama"
Curator Fish Of the State Museum
at Bismarck gave a very interesting
talk on the Universal Language of the
Indians.
Spanish traders came to the indian
trading grounds between the Cannon
ball and Heart rivers as early as 1920.
The Sioux drove them out after a few
years. The French came to those
grounds in 1910, and Indians came
from all owe the northwest to trade
with them. The universal sign langu-
age was made necessary by these cir
cumstances.
There are from 200 to ESQ tribes in
the United States, and this language
is known to all Of them. Some speak
1t fast and some slow, but it is all
the same language. There are five
tribes in our own state and one can
talk with any Of them in this langu-
age"
Mr.. Fish illustrated his talk with
numerous examples of this method Of
communication.

stances to refuse all that Is asked for
lack Of funds to assist as we would

deserving cases We never refuse aid

pay a months house rent, or in case
Of death to assist with funeral ex-
penses or during sickness to assist
with some Of the n~eCessaries that to
manV of our poor would be luXuries.
We had a business man call us a few
days ago by phone saying that when

needed, where it would be appreciated

Just Like Fifth Avenue.

New York World: Accounts of the
marriage of Miss Nancy Leishman and
the Duke of Croy at Geneva show that
ia was very much like a fashionable
New York wedding. About 1000 per-
sons gathered outside to watch the
arrival and departure Of the parties to
the ceremony, and the behavior of the
crowd in church was so %irreverent the
able appealed several times to the
people to behave better"
Except that there were no coal
holes to afford entrance for the unin-
vited, and except also that an Ameri-
can crowd is usually too reverently
attentive to the details Of the brides
costume, to need rebuke, it was other
wise a good imitation of a Fifth avenue
wedding.
But how does it happen that so fla
grant an exhibition of American vuI-
garity" can occur SO far removed from
the native home of plutocracy and dol
lar worship? Have the deteriorating
influences Of increasing shoals of tour
lists had their fell effect? Or is 1T only
that a Swiss crowd is just as human
and curious under the skin as a New
York or London or Paris crowd?

GEO. R. TOPLIFF
DIES IN BOSTON
WELL KNOWN WOOL MERCHANT,
FORMER RESIDENT OF JAMES,
TOWN. PASSES AWAY.

Jamestown. N. D., Nov. 6. - The
Boston Transcript of Oct. % on
tanned an account of the death of
Geo. r. Topliff, a former resident of
Jamestown, who lived here for many
years with his wife and family. He
built the residence now occupied by
the sisters Of st. Johns academy on
the corner of Third avenue and Wis
consin street, and was engaged in
business here for a number of years
in the fuel and lumber trade. A son
Of the deceased married Miss Thee
Casey, daughter of Hon. l.. r. Casey,
also formerly of Jamestown. Mr..
Topliff was well and widely known
in business and social circles, and
was one of the pioneer residents of
the city. He was formerly a wool
merchant, n vas regarded as an
expert buyer of woods. Under the
heading Passing of a Wool Mcr-
chant" The Transcript says:
George Raymond Topliff, the well
known Boston wool merchant. who
died in Brooklyn on Saturday last,
had been for many years Identified
with the local wool house of J. Kosh-
land & Co. He was BORN in Mon
son. After the death of his father

Very FAR Fetched.

Kansas City Journal: There is
nothing particularly impressive in the
spectacle Of an American prima dom
ma. who has amassed a good many
thousands OF dollars by means of her
voice, reyiling America as a land Of
false liberty because she was D :
PEELED to disgorge $1,000 worth of aig-
rettes brought from Europe. The plain
and enlightened law of the land for.
bids the Importation of aigrettes and
thus curtails the cruel slaughter OF
'plumage- bearing birds to that extent.
But even though the wearing of aig-
~rettes, In view OF the barbarous meth
DDS adopted in securing them, may be
considered a matter Of conscience,
that fact cannot lessen the poor grace
with which un-American Americans
so readily d%enounce their native land
whenever their personal views are OPP
posed.

Doesn't Affect Monroe Doctrine.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: The United
States Is under no obligation to frame
it's policy toward Mexico to meet the
views Of the foreign legations in Mex
leo City or any outside influence. Our
supposed necessity of interfering for
the protection of foreign interests
under the Monroe doctrine is d myth.
There is nothing to prevent the DOW
ers protecting their W nationals.
The Monroe doctrine prohibits only
the permanent extension Of European
dominion on this continent.
We can refuse to recognize Huerta.
but 1t is in no sense our business til
intervene and select a government for
the Mexicans. That position can be
maintained without conflicting with
the rights of any nation.

FOLLY OF STARTING PLAY EARLY SHOWN
More Than One-half Games in National and American
 Leagues Postponed

Year after year the folly of begin ming the National and American League baseball seasons in the early part Of April has been proven most cOnclusively, yet the magnates rema in firm and continue to try and entire the baseball loving populace to pa
 tronize contests in weather that is a sure breeder of pneumonia and kin dred ills. They always argue in the winter session that the coming spring
 will be better than the past one and that there will be more postponed games. They fool themselves into believing this every winter, but it is the same old story in the spring.
 The spring games in such weather as we have been having do not pay. It would be a great deal better for the clubs to go South a week or so later and return about two weeks later than they do at present, and then begin the season. The fans will not patron tze baseball in such weather as we have been having. Not more than 25,- 900 persons saw the six games between the Phillies and Athletics and but 12,- OGO persons witnessed the two opening day games between the PhiIlies and Athletics. These games would have attracted many thousands if played in reasonably clear weather. More than one-half of the scheduled games to date have been postponed and there will be many more. These all mean dOuble-headers1 later on, a.Tsd should one of the teams playing be out of the running these doubIe-head- CTS will prove mighty tiresome.
 One of the evils of playing ball in such weather as we have been having or even trying to play, is that the player may become i'll, just the same as the spectator. Connie Mack may lose one of his best twirlers through exposure in the first two games at Boston. Jack Coombs arrived home recently with a temperature of 1O1 and threa tened with pneumonia. Man ager Mack became alarmed at the con- dit1on Of Coombs in Washington and sent him home, wiring to Dr. McFar land, the club physician to take him
