CREEL MAY MAKE RACE
AGAINST HELGESEN

Devils Lake. N. D., May 20.-With
only for more days for the Cling
Of petitions Of nomination for the
June primaries, there was something
of a stir in local political circles
when the possibility of Gen.. H. M.
CreeI, entering the race for the re-
publican nomination for congress be-
came known. The general, who has
been identified with the development
for over thirty years has been promin-
ent in public life in the Lake Region
and North Dakota. He owned the
original townsite of Devils Lake.
Up to the present time Congressman
Helgesen has no opposition for re-
nomination. Fred Bartholomew OF
Grand Forks appears to have the edge
for the democratic nomination for
congress from the First district.

"I read in one of the newspapers that Thomas w. Gregory who becomes attor- ney general of the United States in the place of James c. McReynolds appointed to the supreme court, was a native of Tennessee, but as a matter of fact he was born at Charlottesville, Miss" said a professional man.
 "Mr. Gregory has been special as- sistant attorney general of inc United States in charge of the New York, New Haven. Hartford railroad Investigation His father was Francis Robert Gregory, and he received his academic education at the Southwestern Presbyterian univer- sity at Clarksville, Tenn He was a spe- cial student at the University of Virginia in 1SS3-4. He married Julia Nolle of Aus tin, Tex, in 1S93 after eh had been prac- ticing sometime at the Texas bar He de clined appointment as assistant attorney of Texas in 1892 and district judge in 1896.

War Activities Broaden

When Japan formally declared war on Germany yesterday it was only the expected that happened. Japan's ulti- matum sent to Emperor William Sun day week ago, ordering Germany to surrender Kiao Chow, was so belliger- ent in tone as to preclude an answer. The time being up, Japan is ready for hostilities, and Germany has no idea of getting out of the orient without a struggle. The Teutons will defend Kiao Chow with characteristic desper- ation.
 Those who are asking if the United States will not finally become involved in the war need feel no alarm. This country is in an ideal position to re- main strictly neutral It has no sort of quarrel with any of the belligerents. On the contrary it is distinctly friend ly to each and all of them. And the Wilson administration understands thoroughly well how to avoid foreign complications.
 The entrance of Japan into the con flict intensifies the war situation, of course, and the action of that vigor- ous and assertive nation is more dis cussed for the moment, perhaps, than any other phase of the now swiftly moving drama.
 In the history of wars Sunday has always Reen day for big battles, but no decisive engagement took place yesterday. The allied armies and the German army were strongly en- trenched, however, from Mons to Luxemburg in all preparation for ter rible carnage during the present week.
 While Italy has not announced why she is mobilizing and what her inten- tions are in the matter of taking sides, when the time comes she will be found allied with France and Great Britain.
 Many of the wars of ancient times were fierce and fateful and in modern times there have been many wars that were skillfully and desperately fought, but the most titanic of all wars is now in progress, and the greater the bat ties the earlier they will begin par leys for peace.

may escape and safe in hiding chuckle over the futile attempt to get his brush.
 Nearly all the masters of foxhounds are members of the territorial force, which is the English militia. Natural ly, they have other matters to think of now and have joined their regi- ments, while the horses used in fox hunting have been requisitioned by the English government. The men de- pended upon by the gentry to look after the details of the hunt in the capacity of servants also belong for the most part to the militia and have gone away to war.
 With some fox hounds shot because there is no need of them and horses and men gone to war, it is easy to see that English foxes are going to enjoy life for the present, at any rate. AL though there may be fox hunting on a limited scale it won't be the kind to cause an astute fox serious inconven- fence. At least one species of four footed creature will profit by the sor- rows of mankind

From the New York Sun.
 The death of Father Wernz, the general of the Jesuits, an office which carries
 with it the popular title of the Black
 Pope,' almost simultaneously with the
 Pope of the Vatican, the White Pope, is
 curious and picturesque coincidence. The
 very last ministration of Plus x was the
 apostolic benediction which he sent from
 his own death bed to the dying priest,
 who recognizing that his end was near,
 sent to ask this supreme consolation of
 his faith.
 The careers of the two men thus brought by accident into sharp comparison form an interesting study. Both were animated by the same spirit of devotion to supra mundane ideals. Both were conspicuous by their natural gifts and each rose to great height of power and influence. In their lives they were almost parallel forces in their great field of endeavor. It is in death that the difference in the worldly goal they reached becomes em- phasized. While Plus X passes into his tory with all the glory of the papal throne upon him, Father Wernz will live only in the memories of few or in the annals of the order to which he completely gave up his life.

More foreign nationalities are represented here in Jefferson county than in any other county of the south. These for eigners are industrious and law abid- ing. Their children attend the public schools and when grown up turn out to be excellent Americans. Gary, it seems, has even larger problem re garding the foreign element than the Birmingham district or, of any other community of 10000 or 50,000 popula- tion; and yet those foreigners will be quickly assimilated, and the school system now so noted will play large part in the assimilation.

He was among the first tc raise the banner of the new progressive spirit in the west and unfurl the same to the breezes of Kansas. and he has held aloft said banner right valiantlv in the Senate ever since. Still he was not so progressive as to be foolish about IL Senator Bristow believed in progress put also believed in taking ones time about 1t. He frequently raised his voice that was one of the very best things the senator did-raising his voiee-against ndpatism-foolishly inspired progress yism-democraey-an anything else thai was handy in the Senate. In fact. if there happens to be anything that Sen ator Bristow did not raise his voice against in the Senate, it was purely an oversight his part and merely illus trates the limitations of even so great a human mind\and vocabulary aI
 Senator Bristow recognized--he wa aS good recognizer-that there were-in Kan sas-a few good things in the stand-pat organization, and also few good things in the progressive organization, and he would hold onto the good things of both and discard the bad. So he attempted to be stand-pat and progressive at one and the same time, a feat that many politicians in the past have attempted. the memory of whom no longer fingers with us. The people of Kansas say it can't be did.
 Some rude and unappreciative person out there declared that you might as well try to study the Ten Commandments held in one hand. and play stud poker with the other They won't mix. About the time you get an ace in the hole you read something about Thou shalt not eovet thy neighbours property or words to that effect.
 Anyway, as everyone knows. Senator Bristow. lowing reluctantly to the ex- pressed will of the Kansas people, will leave the United States Senate to it's fate after next March. It certainly looks like hard luck comes in bunches-our commerce threatened by the European war-our cotton crop in jeopardy from5 the same cause-and the pending elim{ nation of Senator Bristow next March seems a great burden to bear At times it is exceedingly hard to be cheerful.

THE BLOW TO BRISTOW

IVY AsHlNGToN. August ss.-tspe-
 AA/ cial)-As far as can be seen
 with the naked eye, the fact
 that Senator Joseph Little Bris- tow of Kansas was defeated for renomi- nation by the republican party in that state has not depressed the United States body as whole to any alarming ex- tent It begins to appear that the Senate will recover from the shock of Senator Bristows defeat and will bear up under the blow with great fortitude and humble resignation. This fact ought to encour- age the people who, no doubt, have been laboring under the impression that a sep aration of the United States Senate and Senator Bristow might lead to disaster and is, as matter of fact. staggering blow to our institutions.
 So far as can be ascertained our in- stitutions stand firm. While the removal of Senator Bristow as prop to them is regarded-by Senator Bristow-as se- rious; and undoubtedly is an indication that the people are drifting away from the teachings of the fathers, which fact constitutes a menace to the republic. which must be. in reason, looked upon by students of American politics, and lovers of American liberty with consid- erable alarm-still there are those who are not entirely hopeless over the sit uation. Having fully determined by in- vestigation that there is some optimism left in Washington in spite of the gloomy outlook occasioned by the general bone headedness of the Kansas electorate, we hasten to advise the public not to des- pair-it might be worse
 The fault does not lie with Senator Bris- tow. Not at all. In this case, the plain people of Kansas are to blame; 1t is serious indictment to bring against them, and is among the first instances of direct primaries for United States senators, where the people have plunged right into something they know little about and completely ''fozzled' it.
 Senator Bristow-as we have hinted- did his part. He left no stone unturned to fully acquaint the people of Kansas that in case of his defeat the Senate would be crippled and it's usefulness seri- ously impaired. The senator is pro

HN IE trial of the distinguished naval
 commander, Sir Robert Calder, a
 \ viceadmiral of the British navy, differed from those of Byng. sackville and Keppel, already treated in this series, in this. that 1t was not set on foot by an angry or partial government. but arose entirely from the over-sensi- tiveness of the gallant admiral himself, who could not submit to some unfavor- able remarks which were made on his conduct for not pushing to the utmost the victory he had gained.
 Calder had defeated, in a great naval encounter, the combined fleets of Franco and Spain, but he had not completely occurred in the very center of Nelson's triumphs, when not only that hero, but the whole British people might, to use Napoleon's term, be called "the spoilt children of victory"
 Calder, it was admitted, had acted with courage and sagacity, but he had not shown the peculiar-the almost supernatural daring of Nelson; hence the general murmur. Nelson himself told him not to mind the outcry, but to fight on. He unwisely did not follow the ad- vice, but called for a courtmartial, and brought upon himself a sad and unfore- seen result.
 The sea fight in which he had en- gagged with so much distinction oc- cured in July, 1905. After it's conclu- sion with victory to the British navy, the viceadmiral was conscious that he had done his duty and thought he merited the appreciation of his country His services were fully appreciated by his commander, Admiral Cornwalls, but, unfortunately, different estimate was formed at home.
 The British nation had lately been pampered with naval victories, the lords of the admiralty murmured, and be- cause the enemy had not been com pletely worsted, it was alleged that the honor of the British flag had been sul lied Bitter representations to this eff feet had been set forth in the public prints, and when these reached the viceadmiral their effects. to his hon. orable spirit may be easily imagined.

A Respite for Sir Reynard

As result of the European war there will be little if any fox hunting in England this year. The historic sport will languish for lack of men to carry it on, and Sir Reynard will lead an existence of comparative peace be- cause man, his hereditary foe, has gone away to battle. Large sums of money are spent every year in Eng land on fox hunting. Hundreds of men are employed as servants of the hunt, expensive horses are bred for the sport and numerous packs of hounds, some containing as many as 300 dogs, are maintained. Always picturesque sport, fox hunting belongs peculiarly to the Englishman and the English woman, both of whom ride to the hounds with skill and daring unsur- passed.
 The music of the hounds, the splen- did mounts dashing across country taking ditches and hedges in flying leaps, the picturesque garb of the riders who participate and the keer zest of chase after a fox intent or escaping if he can, combine to make stirring picture of healthy outdoor sport. Of course, it is rather hard or the fox, but if he is crafty enough hs
