double ordinary wages to work in the

the offers, however, refusing to do
the Germans bidding.

Leroy confirmed the report that the
Germans placed the Belgians in front
Of the soldiers to prevent Belgian
aviators dropping bombs on them.
These aviators dropped leaflets in the
forts, urging them to hold out, saying
that the allies would soon appear. On

the long stretched body, filled with gas
would be damaged by a sudden rise

dropping of very heavy bomb.
Hitting the mark is not easy, CAP
tain Hecker declared, since to avoid
the bullets of the defenders an aviator
must fly at considerable height and
in addition to this the rapidity of his
motion mitigates against his aim.

practically be brought to standstill

UNIVERSITY PREPARING
FOR GOOD WINTER WORK

The State University is looking for
ward to an excellent series of pro-
grams in the way Of lectures this win
ter. In addition to the usual lectures
by local men there are number of
talks by outside lecturers which will
be of interest to people in general The
Convocation programs of the year bid
fair to be exceptionally beneficial. Sat-
urday of this week Miss Maude Hayes
of the Moorhead Normal will give a
reading of Zangwill's Next Religion"
Miss Hayes is popular as a reader and
has entertained university audiences
before. Her selection of readings IS
always good and the opportunity to
hear the best in literature is one OF
which many will take advantage.
Some time during October, Elmer
S. Forbes of Boston, Massachusetts,,
will speak at the University. Mr..
Forbes is head of the Social Service
Division of the American Unitarian
Association and is ranked very high
as speaker. His work gives him an
opportunity to acquire and present ma
terial of great interest to audiences
everywhere.
On October "a, President Sparks Of
Pennsylvania State College will be the
Convocation speaker. President
Sparks is in great demand as lee
turer and North Dakota is fortunate to
have him for few lecturers this win
ter. He is in the state under the aus
pieces Of the University Extension d.
vision.
On October &c, Florence Kelly, who
has been very prominent in the work
of lettering working conditions, is to
speak in Grand Forks. Miss Kelly's
experiene in important offices and in
general work made her one of the
most interesting of speakers.
Bishop John Tyler of North Dakota
will speak some time during the fall,
the date to be announced later. An
otner man active in the Episcopal
church who will be at the University
is the Reverend Alfred Hall. He will
speak at Convocation on November 7.
Mr.. Hall is Senior Chaplain for Can
ada OF the British and Foreign Sailors
Society His work takes him among
seamen very largely. He is not con-
fined to any locality but has for his
parishioners the sailors in various
parts of this side Of the world.
Other Convocation speakers will be
announced later. Convocation at the
University is always important, and
this year will see some of the best
available lecturers on the programs.
The University people themselves and
visitors in Grand Forks have an ex-
ceptional opportunity to see and hear
good music and noted speakers be-
cause Of the Convocation plan. A COL
lege town has many advantages al
ways and not the least of these is that
Of hearing men who come from other
states and countries. The daily chapel
which so many colleges have as a part
Of their program has its counterpart in
the Convocation exercises at theU nj
versity of North Dakota. The exercis.
es take place every Saturday at eleven
o'clock and are open to our public.

York;. Tho terrible destruction
wrought by the great siege guns of the
German army has been one of the as
founding features of the great war
now raging across the English chan
mel. 1t was at Liege that these terri
BILE weapons got their first real use
and there they proved their effective
ness in reducing fortresses to submits
sion.
Ordinary army gunners-men who
have seen years of service handling
ordinary siege guns and cannon of all
kinds-cannot handle the new product
of the Krupp factory. Special men
trained in the Krupp factory-experts
who have been specially trained in the
use of the great. siege guns-go with
every one of them sent to the front.
Albert J. Leroy, who was present
when the bombardment of Liege start
ed, has returned to London and tells
some very interesting facts concern
ing the fall of the forts of that city.
He saw one shell fall in the town.
It blew large house to pieces. Three
forts gave in within week after the
first shots were fired. Three forts still
held out and the Germans were forced
to bring their great siege guns thru
the town.
To do this they built special rail-
road to run the guns over. The guns
were moved on fanged wheels about
seven feet high.
"As a sailor I have been all around
the world" said Leroy, "and never
have l seen such large guns as they
were. To silence the forts with these
guns took only two hours. For one of
the forts only four shots were requir-
ed.
81 saw some of the wounded taken
from these forts. Their condition was
horrible. They were blackened by ex
plosions and so burned and injured
that they died the same night.
Zone thing that l especially wish te
state and that is that I saw the Ger
mans fire on the Red Cross. ! saw
Red Cross wounded and dead.
1.-THE Germans took their wounded
from the Belgian Red Cross on the
plea that they were not being vel
treated. This despite the fact tina
the chief medical officer had take1
wounded German officers to his home
to insure their being well taken care
Of.
"The last forts were silenced abou
fourteen days after the bombardment
first started.
, 81 was arrested as an English spy
and imprisoned for six days in room
at the railway station. BY the sold
iers l was treated very badly. They
, kicked me if l dared to move after
, they had told me to lie down on the
straw to sleep.
, "They hit me with the butts of their
: guns several times. All I had to eat
was bread and soup. Finally I was
| released and went to Liege, out OF
| which I escaped by securing under a
!, false name a pass to go to Maastricht
, and buy some food. The journey to
, Holland took me six hours on foot."
Managers of the Belgian powder
factories refu-yd to work their places
for the Germans even in the face OF

IN REELLIFE


During a war, a feud or a schisn1
it is essential for somebody on one
side of the question to fall in love
with somebody on the other. This
unites everybody.
One of the drawbacks to being an
accOmphCe is that your Better Ma
ture always comes to the surface and
you make a perfect mess of the ma
chinations that are in progress.
A detective works on one murder
mystery all his life, as if there isn't
a murder every day.
An accomplished, first class, admir-
able criminal of course loses to the
police, but in the end escapes so that
he. can be used in the next film story.
You can't be too careful whom you
marry Girls frequently marry a man
they suppose is pOor-and then he
informs them he is of noble lineage.
.. An Indian maid who yields to the
prevalent mania for befriending the
white man always gets into a COM
plication where she gets killed ac-
cidentally; neatly permitting the
white -man to marry some white wo-
man who hasn't befriended him. Oh,
you ruthless scenario writers!

NOT UP TO THEM TO DO IT

Il HE city commissioners have no business whatever

petition being circulated by those people
to have the city plunged into another municipal owner

The people and NOT the commissioners should
decide whether the provisions of this proposed
dnance shall be put into effect s..aat .-as ,
Only comparatively small per cent of the citizens
OF the city will sign the petition being circulated for
the ten per cent required is small per Therefore

sires of the big majority of the public and not follow
their personal desires personal preudices they will
decline pass it and let be put up the people in
special election. =: .l4 lAgA

time and James w Bucklin and some others have de
creed that we have then let the people whole and
not the small group of city commissioners give express
sion as TO what action shall be taken
/ he city commissioners, the petition of a small
portion of the population, have moral right if
they have legal right pass this proposed ordnance
which proposed ordinance pledges the city government
municipal ownership of the gas and electric plants
pledges all present and future city officials to the carry
ing of the provisions of this ordnance provides for
expensive and long drawn Investigations and assures
long and hard and costly litigation and agitation
Let the people at the polls say whether they want
this done
1t is up to few men in the city hall to say that
it SHALL BE DONE because a minority of the voters
have petltloned them to have the done.
We realize that the agitation is on. Jim Buckn is
back from California cooked and prmed for another
fight along this line. He is the real leader and chief
agtator IN this present movement matter how strong
y he protests to the contrary. But it up the
commissioners meekly coincide with the desires of Mr.
Buckln and the petitioners.
