TRIES TO PREVENT
SALE Of STOCK
A. Y. More of Fargo Still
Fighting Over Courier
News Deal.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. IA restrain-
ing order was issued from the district
court this morning in the case of A.
Y. More. plaintiff, against The Cour-
ier-Newe, a corporation, and e. D.
Guild, defendants, to prevent the sale
Of the shares Of common stock of The
courier-News owned by Mr.. More.
The object Of the action is to en-
join the sale Of ninety-nine shares Of
the common capital stock of The
CourierzNews, owned by Mr.. More.
which The courier,News corporation,
acting through L. T. Guild, president
and treasurer; B. T. Guild, vice presi-
dent, and e. D. Guild, secretary, are
attempting to assess $40 per share.
The restraining order was issued
filed. '
The time for the sale of. the ninety
nine shares had been set for today,
the first notice Of this sale having
been published in The Courier-News
on June II and "a and July 1, s and
To- and the second notice on July %,
"a, 70, 20 and 80 and Aug. 1, 4, s, 6
and Z.
The plaintiff alleges that the whole
proceeding is illegal and that the sale
should be permanently prevented and
enjoined. A current report ha. it
that MIR. More does not know why
any assessment was made on the
stock unless 1t vas made for the pur-
pose OF freezing him out Of the cor
poration by the majority stockholders.
Judge Pollock Of the district court
Will begin the hearing Of the case for
permanent injunction. after the hour
the restraining order is returnable.
but 1t ie possible that the hearing will
be continued tomorrow morning nrior

stock. 'o

OUR UNRIVALED CHANCE.

Never in the history Of this country
has there been opened up to Ameri-
can merchants the same fine oppor-
tunity to capture the trade of the
world. and especially the South Amer
!can portion of it. as now. Figures
ouche for by John Barrett, director
general of the Pan-American union,
show that the ten leading states of
South America export annually to Eu-
rope $6S4,000.0 600 worth of goods and
import from Europe $3.50. OOO, 900. A
large proportion of this trade, which
is admittedly remuneratiye, might be
directed to the United States If we
were only in a position to handle it.
What a pity that. at this propitious
moment, this country does not DOS
sess a merchant marine big enough
to carry American goods to South
America and bring back what we need
from South American ports.
The criminal shortsightedness and
narroWness of those Who have oppos-
ed the revision of our shipping laws
and the encouragement of an ocean
going fleet of merchant vessels are
now exposed to the public eye. 1t is
the manifest duty Of congress not only
to amend the laws SO that foreign
owned ships can be taken over and
registered under u flag, but to over
haul those laws and clear the way for
a sound and permanent growth of the
American merchant marine.

GERMANY'S AERIAL WAR FLEET.

According to a prominent writer,
up-to-date aerial fleet in the world.
The budget of the Reichstag of 1908
1903 allowed and provided for the
building of twelve dirigibles of the
Zeppelin type. So far as the knowl-
edge of the rest of the world is con-
cerned, this is all the sky navy that
Germany possesses. 1t is a fact,
though. that she has three times the
number that she officially acknowl-
edges.
There are two conditions under
which airships r operated in Ger
many. One is the ordinary more or
less w~ell-known system which charac-
tertzes the operation Of all the pas.
senger lines now in service in the
pire. 1t is the system unde. which
all the disasters that appear in the
newspapers occur. Airships that are
used in the general army flights and
maneuvers are also run under the
same system as the passenger dirigi-
bles-for a reason.
The other system is an absolute sec
ret of the German general staff. 1t
is not used in the general aneuv
only in specific cases, and these al
ways secretly. 1t has been proved to
be effective In eliminating IS per
cen of the accidents which have
characterized all Of Germany's ad-
ventures in %dirigibles and heavier than
air machines These statistics are
known only among the German gener-
al staff officers.
Let us go into this further. Critics
of the German dirigible, who foolish

point out that the zeppelins have
three serious defects-bulk and heav-
mess of structure. inflammability of
the lifting power-the gas that floats
them-the insufficiency Of fuel car
riage. In another word, they cannot
ship enough gas to stay in the air a
desirable length of time without COM
ing down. The secret devices of the
German war office have eliminated
All THESE opJeCIloHdole lney
have overcome the condition of bulk
and heaviness Of structure by their
government chemists devising the for
mula of a material that is lighter than

that metals density and which has al
so the flexibility of steel. Airships

officially admits are made Of this ma

THE WAR OF THE NATIONS.

In an attempt to characterize the
present great war in Europe by some
appropriate epithet. the newspapers
are already referring to it as the war
OF the nations. And that is as suit
able a name rs could be given to it,
probably, But such an epithet would
have been entirely inappropriate and
misleading a hundred Years ago, and
thereby is revealed the change which
has come over the Old World since
Eapoleon's day.
A century ago there was no Ger
man nation, there was no Italian ma
ton, there was no Belgian nation.
there was no servian nation, and the
austrian empire was IN inchoate
thing, the remnant OF the Holy Ro-
man empire over which Napoleon had
pronounced the funeral Grafton in
1sos But it was this same Napoleon
Who more than any other impregnated
f"rope With the doctrine of nation
ATTY. He it was who. shifting the old
regime everywhere with the iery zeal
which sprang from the revolutionary
spirit of France. caused Europe to
give birth to nations, where geo
graphical expressions had previously
existed. The doctrine Of nationalities
involved a higher principle than had
ever animated Europe before, and it
has not yet worked its full work. But
today there is need for a higher prin-
c1ple still to be superimposed on this
loyalty to nationhood-the principle
OF human brotherhood, which shall
link all the separate nations of ELL
rope into one great bund, a European
United States, one and inseparable.
n Napoleon whom Europe cries out
for today is the great leader who will
know how to unity the warning ma
tons which are clutching frantically
n blindly at each others Threats
now. But he must be a man of
peace.

The war has scarcely begun. and
England is already advising economy
in the use of foods.
Meat prices have soared so high
that the poorer classes have to do
without England's favorite breakfast
dish of bacon and eggs.
If the situation is serious at this
early date. what will it be If the war
continues?
England and Germany are both
manufacturing countries. Both are to
a very large extent dependent upon
the other nations for their food sup
plies.
England buys beef from America
and South America. Very little meat
is supplied by English farms.
The same is true in Germany. Both
are interested in mills and factories
than they are In agricultural pursuits.
Hence they are already beginning to
feel the pinch. They should have
thought of. this before rushing into
war. =
Possibly this is the nos certain way
to secure peace. The army must be
long If supplies from neutral countries
cannot be shipped and IL the men are
taken from the farms and vineyards.
One thing is certain, crops cannot be
harvested with the farmers at the
front engaged in war.
The question Of food supplies does
not affect Russia, nor is France great
ly alarmed; 1t is only in Germany and
England that a continuous influx Of
provisions is necessary.
England may be said to. buy from
all the world. Most Of the English
wheat comes from Canada, Russia
and America; even the butter used
comes in large quantities from Nor
way, Sweden n Denmark. 1t has
been estimated that in case Of a gen.
eral war. with shipping tied up as it
is now, England will be face to face
with starvation within so days. Liver
pool and Glasgow were the first cit
les to realize the seriousness Of the
situation. The government has an
nounced that there is no immediate
danger, but at the same time advises
every n to use due caution and econ
omy. In Germany the government is
regulating prices, which jumped 100
per cent last week. France, with a
fertile area and being able to import
food supplies from the Mediterranean
Is in a better position. Aus
tria and Russia. being essentially ag-
ricultural countries, will not suffer.
Nevertheless, il the war is prolonged.
wen these countries will find 1t diff
ficult to feed their armies. The Unit
ed States will do her part toward re-
lleving the situation II she has q
chance. but this is one Of the uncer-
families of war.
