II may be said in defense Of the

James Clark McReynolds was born
Feb. 3, 1862. He is unmarried and
spent many years as a professor Of
law. In 1908 he engaged in private
practice. He was appointed assistant
attorney general in 1903 and served

A Y RECEPTION.

So cordial was the reception that
Bismarck's trade ENJOYS received yes
terday that 1t was the "wee' small
hours of the morning before they re.
turned. At each town it was neces'
sary to stop longer than the SEIZED
uled time.
This only reflects the good feeling
existing between the surrounding
territory and the City Of Bismarck.
Such trips as these help to keep alive
that spirit.
Bismarck is the natural trade CEN
ter of the slope country. There is
room for other wholesale houses in
this city and every inducement
should be held out to those contem-
plating a change in location.
The fifty business men who made
the trip were enthusiastic over the
reception given them. At each town
they were given the heartiest kind Of
q welcome. It is a beautiful coun.
try they went through teeming with
possibilities and full of live, active
energetic business men.

Itions in that respect, and Parisians
are resigned to the knowledge that
they may only hear news from the
frontier long after the actual fight
ing.
The news from the front is pre-
scented in laconic fashion with few
picturesque trimmings, and the gist
Of it is taken in at q glance. The
news that Great Britain had Joined
France and Russia brought no u
prise but intense silent qualification
when it vas published officially.
Every %Englishman in Paris is now 4
King and the same courtesy title is
extended to every American.
Here and there one sees a German
caught in Paris, unable to get away,
but so long as they attend to their
own affairs and keep qViet they are
not molested. There is something
about the Frenchman's individual
sense of honor which prevents him
from taking unfair advantage of an
enemy under any circumstances, but
this does not apply to French crowds
under %provocation or stress, which
accounts for isolated reports of Incl
dent in which unfortunate Germans
are concerned.
A has Les P%russiens!
"a has les Prussiens!" is a cry
that excites the crowd in the twink
ling Of an eye, and only the strong
arm Of the authorities, can check
them.
Military activities are still seen in
the heart of the city. High power
automobiles come throbbing through
the streets, carrying staff officers
here and there, and small detach-
ments of French soldiers appear at
intervals on the b~oulevards, while
the Care st. Lazare is still alive VITA
military preparations, which has sup
pressed completely all other traffic.
1t sends a thrill through one to see
aeroplanes start off eastward. They
generally hover over the city for
several minutes as if there had been
something left behind. Then they
whiz away and disappear with great
rapidly.
Nearly all of the large hotels are
closed except the Hotel Majestic and
the Hotel de Crillon. Scores of well
known Americans are still here un-
able or in some cases unwilling to
leave. "A habitual visitor to the Ho-
tel Majestic would be indeed Jul
|prised IL he were to drop in tonight.
All the familiar faces and practically
the entire staff of walters have van
ished. The splendid service in the

SNEAK THIEF GOT
AWAY WITH MONEY
Home Of John Wager Entered
Some Time Thursday and
Bills Taken.

A sneak thief entered the home of
John wager, 316 Fourth street, some
time Thursday, and took a consider
able sun of money belonging to MI.
and Mrs. wager.
Mr.. wager, who is engaged in night
work, on the Tribune, vas asleep in
the house part of the day, and awoke
to find, on examining his pocketbook
on the shelf in the same room, that
1913 contained in it was missing.
He called the attention Of his wife
to the disappearance Of the money,
and she found on examining her peck
etbook that $14 contained in 1t was
also gone. Yesterday the $23 was
found on the same shelf where the
pocketbook had lain, but behind a
suitcase. The $14 has not been found.

The man who would claim m0rerfol

blessed real thing Of life. 1t is a
most imperfect means to a most I'M
defined and unsatisfactory end. AIDE

responsibilities which most wise men
would gladly escape. In case she
gets it her disappointment will be
proportional to her genuine concern
in public affairs. for it will bring
her nothing she expects of 1t. 1t
would merely double q suffrage al

fusion.

ing; without her we should drop in
to savagery; without the ballot she
has achieved the crown of glory God
designed for her when He made her
the moral light of the Universe; the
home and the shrine maker securing
to the man, to her children and to
herself, n spot on earth where love
.abideth, which may not be invaded
by the selfishness, the hatred and the
shrine Of rival ambitions, within
whose sweet and safe seclusion and
repose the religion Of Christ may con
tinue to be cherished and taught and
whence prayers of alteration and
gratitude may still ascend to heaven
So far as tbs contention that WON

than a moderate familiarity with

which its supporters have been led BY
their enthusiasm.

The Tribune is in receipt of the fol
lowing dispatch from M. e. Stone,
general manager of the Associated
Press:
To members Of the Associated
Press:
New York, Aug. 2!.-Pope Plus X,
died at 100 o'clock, Rome time, this
Thursday morning as announced in
last nights dispatches Of the Asso'
ciated Press. There is six hours

hours and 81 minutes before the pom

United Press Association distributed
throughout this country a formal an,

announcement was false.

luggage, If they are fortunate enough
to have any left when they reach
here.
The semipanic among foreigners
in Paris has disappeared now, and
Americans who we're first annoyed at
the inconvenience are now resigned
to it and appear happy. They know
there is little chance of getting away
for some time, but appreciate the fact
that they are having an experience
which will never be forgotten.
The difficulty Of making purchases
at the few shops remaining open has
been minimized by an improvement
in the financial situation. This time
last week it was in many cases ne
cessary to stand outside the shops
and have the exact change ready be-
fore the police permitted would-be
purchasers to enter.
l understand there is no fear Of a
shortage Of small French notes and
that otherwise the money stringency
is improving. 1t is said that the
Bank or France is considering favor
ably proposals by several chambers
of commerce to issue number of
half-franc notes and one and two
franc notes for certain areas In
france.
Volunteers are coming from all
quarters Of the city. There is a
movement on foot at the British I'm
perial Club to form a British bat
talon composed of men who have
been through the Boer war, and in
addition there are Roumanians and
foreigners who have caught the war
fever and want to enlist. France,
however, has risen en- masse and
needs no further service. Besides,
Paris is too busy sending French
troops to the frort to take up mat
tiers of minor Importance.
1t is worthy of note that the most
pronounced anti-militarists are ready
to join the army, including Gustave
Herve, who only a short time ago de-
cried the army and preached deser.
ton.
French women will doubtless dis
tinguish themselves as they never
did before. They are devoting the
genius Of their sex to organizing
means of caring for the wounded.
The Croix Rouge will have charge Of
nursing the wounded in various hos
pitfalls and infirmaries and the Sisters
of Charity are going about their ar
rangements with GOODNESS and preci
sion. French women we'll known in
society are offering their services for
the most mental work at the hospi-
tails. The list Of volunteers grows
and grows. Women have also begun
a campaign Of saving money for the
crisis.
Those on the boulevards tonight
are doubtless saving money and rain
ing sleep by the regime Of sacrifice
which has flattened out all gayety
here. At ten o'clock the boulevards
already look deserted.
