BETTY GETS A CHANCE.
Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Get
Well,

Well.
She was real pretty, and so full of
fun that the dimples were always
showing in her round red cheeks.
Her eyes were big and brown, and
nut-colored hair curled naturally in
little ringlets over her forehead and
ears. She was just eighteen when we
first met her, and so neat and attract
i've that one would think she belonged
to the well-to-do class of working
people, but when we followed her to
her home one day we confronted
startling facts.
The red in her cheeks was the flush
Of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown
eyes saw only squalor when they were
not fixed upon a typewriting machine
or closed persistently to any view
but an maginary bright one.

WOULD MAKE
AN INVESTIGATION
(From Saturday, Dec. 12.)

All yesterday afternoon and again
last evening the stockholders and con-
tract holders of the defunct North Da-
kota Improvement Co. continued their
meeting in the district court room at
the court house, but the meeting fail
ed to bring forward any new ideas as
TO what course should be pursued. The
only definite action being taken was
the appointment Of a committee to
investigate and find out if some legal
action cannot be taken for the removal
of NJ. A. Baldwin as receiver of the
company and the appointment of some
man to the Office who was never con-
nected with the company.
The claim is that owing to Mr..
Baldwin's close connection with the
North Dakota Improvement Co., prior
to it's being placed in the hands of
receiver, that he is not suitable for
the position of receiver, and has not
met with the approval of the greater
number of the contract holders. Mr.
Baldwin stated that there were not
over Is per cent of the contract hold
ers represented at the meeting yes
terday. The total number of contract
holders reaches about 1900 over the
state.
| The committee named to make the
investigation is composed of J. NJ. Ke =
ley of Devils Lake, DR.. Hegge of May
vile, D. O'Malley of Valley City and
Rev. Mr.. Rundsvold. Whether this
committee will report at later meet
| ing of the contract holders or not
cannot be stated at this time. In fact
there is question as to whether the
court will recognize the committee or
not and it is also a question if there
, is still time for another session to be
called. Probably both of these ques-
lions rest with the court.
The meeting was called at the in
stigation of District Judge C. A. Pol
lock, in the hope that by getting the
contract holders of the defunct organ
ization together, something might be
suggested as to future procedure or
! in the hope that a reorganization
might be effected. The meeti ing ap-
parently failed to produce any of these
results.
The session continued until quite a
late hour last evening and it - re-
ported to have become quite stormy
toward the last.

Negotiations Closed, It Is
Said, Because Reichstag
Fears Consequences.

Berlin, Germany, (via London), Dec.
12.-Denials coming from all the war.
ring nations that peace negotiations
were under way two weeks ago must
not be taken too seriously. These de-
malls are more likely to mean that the
negotiations were suddenly broken off
rather than that they were never I'M
dertaken. Although, OF course, it is
impossible to speak with definite au-
thority concerning events of such es-
sential secrecy, there is every reason
to believe that peace negotiations were
discussed between Germany and
France in Rome and between Germany
and Russia in Petrograd.

GOVERNORSRlP CANDI.
DATES RECEIVE
THE MOST VOTES

Bismarck, N D., Dec. 12-.The Off
cial board of state canvassers COM
pleted their work yesterday and the
notices of election have been sent out
to the various successful state, nation
al and legislative candidates. The vote
has all been published in an unofficial
manner before and there is very little,
if any, variation from the figures print
ed couple of weeks ago. The official
returns show that the highest vota
cast on the gubernatorial office, that
reaching the total of 89,3O4 for all
candidates, the next highest was cor
United States senator and there were
1870 voted on that office. The three
congressional districts show that the
voting population was very evenly di
vided when the reappointment was
made four years ago. The first district
cast 25,954, the second 27.306 and the
third 27,251. Other high votes cast
we're CUlllullSolOllcl VI clCC
with 82,493 and superintendent of pub
tic instruction with 82,035. There is
peculiar situation in the vote for su.
perintendent of public instruction in
that the women of the state are al
lowed to vote on this question as we'll
as the men, and the total Of votes cast
was more than seven thousand less
than for other Offices where the men
only voted, showing that there must
have been large number of women
who did not exercise their franchise.
There was a total of S9,419 votes
cast on the woman suffrage question
and it was defeated by several thou
sand votes. Owing to the fact that
Secretary of State Thomas Hall, State
Auditor Carl Jorgenson and Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction E. J.
Taylor were candidates, they were
disqualified from acting on the board
and Governor Hanna appointed ]. w.
Bliss, H. G. Fish and John Carmody to
act in their places.

Poland Sure of Something.

This plan has many fascinating fea-
lures. 1t seems to indicate that which
ever side wins a decisive victory Po'
land will come in some measure into
its own after more than a century Of
cruel injustice. In the event of Ger
man victory such a course would mean
the abandonment of the anti-Polish
campaign conducted for the last 20
years by the Prussian COVE :nment, III
the Polish provinces - campaign
which has cost more than $100,000,000
without making appreciable progress,
and involving injustice to the Poles OF
a startling nature.
While 1 have not heard the details
Of the new Polish plan l understand
that it will include Polish parliament
a Polish university, the free right to
use the Polish language in the schools
and at pubic meetings. Poland will
be limited as a nation only in not hay
ing a right to make treaties or wage
war independent of the German EN-
pire. Whether Austrian Poland is also
to be included is matter that has not
been decided.

The Germans claim distinct gain in
North Poland, although it is not be-

have made progress along the Ypres

Disagreement Over Belgium.

There is, of course, considerable DIS
cussion as to what should be done with
Belgium in the event of a German vic
tory. There is a group of men who be-
lieve that Antwerp should be held as a
pistol at the head Of England" as
Napoleon said, with Namur and Liege
as outerdefenses for German. A ia:
larger, and 1 believe, more influential
group, believes that Belgium should
retain it's autonomy.

GERMANY ENDS PEACE MOVE,
BERLIN DISPATCH DECLARES

terms of peace, it is instructive to keep
in touch with the peace plans Under
discussion. The most interesting fea-
ture of the German peace plan-grant-
ing always that Germany wins-which
is being worked out and which has
not been mentioned hitherto in publ
cations, is to annex Russian Poland to
German Poland and make a united
territory, a kingdom of Poland under
a Polish throne.
The kingdom would have the same
relation to the German empire as has
the kingdoms of Saxony, Bavaria ant
Wuertemberg.

"Severe Resistance"

The progress of the war in northern
Hungary is less definite. A Berlin
statement tonight said that the Ger
man and Austrian arms are encount-
ering "severe resistance" in south
Poland and Galicia, adding that it is
evident the Austrians in the Carpa-
thians are not numerically strong en-
ough to clear the Russians from Hun
garian territory. But the Austrians
claim they have driven the Russians
down the northern slopes of the Car
