ARSON TRUST OPERATIONS.

Both New York and Chicago nave
recently unearthed an arson trust. In
the case of the former some of the fire.
bugs are serving sentences, and the in
Vestigation Is still in progress, while
In the latter city confessions have been
obtained and men higher up are soon
to be arrested. Business houses, as
well as residences, have been included
in the programme of destruction for
profit. Dishonest insurance adiusters
have made the firebug's trade a prof
table one, and some insurance compa-
MES have not been unmindfuf of the
help to business which a fire and
prompt settlement is. The dishonest
property-owner or business man who
would be glad to dispose of his prop
erty for the insurance is nothing new.
His work is on q small scale. and at
tended with more risk than for a pro-
fessional.
One of the two firebugs under arrest
in Chicago has confessed to starting at
least 100 fires in the past Ave years,
the total loss being estimated at nearly
$1,000. 600. The firebugs' compensation
was 10 per cent of the insurance, but
he says that in some Instances he was
cheated by the insurance adjusters.

BULGARIA ARRIVES"

So many factors enter into the So
luton Of the situation in the Balkan
states that it is dif1cuft to predicate
any definite conclusion upon any Civ
en- event. Yet the reported fall Of two
Of the Turkish strongholds in the re-
cent attack by the Bulgarian army
will have, at least. the effect of adding
one more power to be reckoned with
to the roster OF European states. Bull
garia has arrived"
The world was not a little surprised
at the reSourcefulness Of the Bulga-
rians when Turkey sent forth a call
for INTERPRETATION more than a month
ago; and when the more powerful of
the European nations stayed the war,
only to give Turkey an unfair advan-
tage when the fighting began again,
according to a plan which, it became
clear, had been a part of Turkeys pro-
sramHne all along. There was general
sympathy for the "Bulgars," save
perhaps from those nations which are
politically dependent upon the reten-
ton OF Turkish power in a place of
high s~trategical importance.
The latest victories by the Bulgarian
forces assume somewhat the character
of poetic justice fulfilled. Clearly a
new force has come to the front to fig
ure in the long story of Turkish
atrocities; and because of this fact
there will be rejoicing wherever true
civilization exists.

FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1918.
POPULATION OF NORTH DAKOTA.

In this issue Of The Forum will be
latest census bulletin issued by the
bureau of the census, giving informa-
ton about North Dakota. gathered in
the census d 1910. This bulletin con-
tains some very interesting facts CON
corning the composition and charac-
teristics Of the population of North
Dakota.
One of the surprising features Of the
bulletin is the small number of Hitter
ates in the state. The government
classes any person over 10 years Of age
who cannot write regardless of ability
to read, as an ilNterate. North Dakota
out Of a total population Of 577,056, has
only 1900, or 81 per cent i]l1iterates.
Fargo makes a remarkable showing
in the small number Of i~lIiterates, IN
state. There were only nine&y-hve H.
I~iterates in Fargo out of a total popu-
.1ation Of 1881 in 1910. In Grand
Forks there were 31S illiterates out Of
a total population OF 12,478. In Bis
marck there were 122 i~lliterates out Of
5,443: Devils Lake had 129 out Of a
population Of b,157; Mandan had 14S
out Of a population Of 1878 and Will
liston had 125 out of a population Of
3,124.
The Forum has called attention be-
fore to the tact that Fargo has an un-
usually intelligent class Of citizens,
and these figures, gathered by the
United States government bear out the
assertion. This is also a splendid
showing for the efficiency of the Far
go school system.
Speaking of school systems brings to
mind another feature Of this report
which is worthy of comment. This
bulletin shows that Fargo in 1910 had
a total of 1856 children of school age
from 6 to 20 years-while Grand
Forks had, according to the United
States census, 3,545 Of the same age.
The interesting thing about this is
that Grand Forks, when it takes a pri-
Vate school censu in order to get the
state appOrtionment, always manages
to get more children Of school age on
its list than Fargo. This was true in
1910. At that time Fargo's private
school ensuS was Extraordinarily
under what Uncle Sam gave the city.
while Grand Forks private school
census showed 3,683-conslderably ov-
er the United States figures.

Ne Ars a chiId.Lovina Nation.

The Outlook: One day several
years ago, when Loves Dickinsoa's
statement that he had found no con
~versation and-worse still-no con
V~ersationaliSts in America was fresh
in our outraged minds, l happened to
meet an EnglishwOman who had spent
approximately the same amount If
time in u country as had Loves
Dickinson.
What has been your experienced"
l %anxiousIy asked er. lis it true that
We only talk? Can it really be that
We nev converse?'"
Dear me MOI" she exclaimed with
gratifying feTVor. You are the most
delightful conversationalists in the
world, on your W subject"
Our own ~subject?" | echoed.
Certainly she returned; your own
subject, the national subject-the
child, the American child. 1t is pos
sible to converse with any American
on that subject, every one OF you has
something to say on it, and every one
Of you will listen eagerly to what any
other person says on it. You modify
the opinions Of your hearers by what
you say, and o actually allow your
own opinions to be modified by what
you hear said. If that is conversation
without a doubt you have it in
America. But you have it only or
that subject. Il wonder why" she
went on, half m~usingly, before l could
make an attempt to persuade her tc
qualify her rather sweeping asser-
ton. 1T may be because you do SO
much for children in America. They
are always on your mind; they are
hardly ever out Of your sight. YOU
are fnYaYap nffhar 1ninp unronfLi-u 81,
them or planning to do something for
them. No wonder the child is your
one subject of Conversation. You dc
so very much for children in America
she repeated.
The aiarmist warn us that what w
do for the children in the direction OF
costly and complicated toys may, ever
while helping them to do somethinE
for themselves, mar their priceless
simplicity. Need We fear this? Is il
not likely hat the real" watches
which we give them that they may
really" tell time will be used, also
| for more than one of the other simple
purposes of childhood?
The English woman said that we
Americans did so much, so very much
for the children of our nation. There
have been other foreigners who as.
serted that we did too much. In.
dubi1ably, we do a great deal. But
since we do it all that the children
may learn TO do, and, through doing
to be, a we eVer possibly do too
much?
We are q child loving nation, ant
our love for the children is, for tn,
most part, of the kind which DR.
Henry Van Dyke describes as "tru,
love, the love that desires to bestov
and to bless" The best things tina
we can obtain We bestow upon thu
children; with the goodliest blessing!
within our powers, e bless them. Thi!
we do for them. And they-is' Their,
not something that they do for us? /
anything we do, or could possibly do
for them.

The Theatres
Two Bio Acts.

There are two really big acts at the
Orpheurn the last three days of this
week which Manager Fowler is pre-
senting to the patrons. The headliner
is the Cycling McNutts, who have a
we'll dressed cycle and a%crobatic act
that. is filled with thrillers and evoked
much applause. Another act that is
equally as large was that of Campbell
& Co., novelty musical and transform
alton. which they have named New
Years Melodies, and it went exceed
ingly we'll. The scenic effects of the
act were very pretty and the music
excellent. They are two high class
acts that pleased all. Miss Evelyn
Dare has a new song which was sung
we'll. Dorothy Benton, a clever little
miss entertained with he songs and
talk, while the act of Pritchard &
P%ritchard, A Hot Time With the Min
strels, was a scream all through. In
fact the show is one of the best that
Manager Fowler has presented in some
time, and it closed with the pictures
and CoScio orchestra.

Really Funny Farce.

My Uncle From Japan was the We
hicle which the Grand Stock Co. used
for the last half of the week at the
Grand and it went with a vim, for it
is a farce comedy of the real funny
type and the different members did
nicely in the parts. Mr.. Loffler had
the part Of a lawyer who was some-
thing of a prevaricator, and he did it
well. Pat Carson was the uncle, a
most peculiar character, while Jack
Carleton ais the dissatisfied married
maj had a good part. Joe Golden as
the father-in-law was at home. Miss
Nell Vernon as the pretty wife of the
dissatisfied man did nicely and Char
ley Hart as the waiter made good. Miss
Gillan's mischievous maid and Miss
Madge Carson al the lady with a tenn
per all made much of their parts. IT
was a great bill and was well received
by the two large audiences OF last
night. Faust will be on next week.

its usually too sticky, SO insist upon
