FL Paso. Tex.-Gen. Venustiano Car

mediators at Niagara Falls. is almost
n complete refusal to participate in
mediation under the terms set down
by the diplomats. The constitutional
list chief thanked the conferees for In
Wiling him to take part in the discus
sion, but he refused positively to en-
ter into any conference where he
would be expected to give in on any
OF the following questions:
Agree TO an armistice.
Agree to the appointment of a pro
visional President.
Change his attitude on the agrarian
question.
Consent to the military movements
OF the constitutionalists being
dictated.
The message of the rebel general
was sent to Washington and from
there will be delivered to the Brazil
ian. Argentine. Chilean and American
members at the Niagara Falls confer
ence.
Carranza's note reiterated his will
ingness TO have participated In the
various conferences whose sole object
he recognized TO be the paciflcation
OF Mexico and whose good offices he
tentatively recognized. The futility OF
the discussion Of Mexican internal af-
fairs. however, is pointed out.
Niagara Falls, Ont.-The mediators
proposed new course OF action,
which not only will prolong the pro
ceedings. but may eventually work ont
solution OF the Mexican problem.
The suggestion contcmplates separ-
ate conferences between the Ameri.
can delegates and representatives OF
the constitutionalists. Justice Lamar
and Frederick W. Lehman would con.
tinue their dealings with the Huerta
delegates through the mediation
board. In this way all elements In
the Mexican situation would be
drawn together and there would be
no necessity for the declaration OF an
armis,ice until some agreement was
reached and approved by the constitu-
tionalists.
The plan was said to be n result
OF the visit OF Minister Naon OF Ar
gentina to Washington. where Presi'
dent Wilson is understood TO have
emphasized the written statement OF
Justice Lamar that any agreement
reached by the mediation board
which was not approved by the con

James J. Hill, the northwestern en-

the institution.
Mr.. Hills donation is made on con-

Splendid Qualities
Of Norway's 5 Sturdy
Sons Extoned by Hanna

rightly, the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regi-
ment of Volunteer Infantry was made
up almost entirely Of Scandinavians,
and the record of that regiment IS one
to be envied. In education we find
here in our country, and especially in
the northwest. that the percentage of
illiterates among the Norwegian Am
ericans is almost nil, and among the
ablest of our educators in school and
college are American citizens who
were born in Norway or who come Of
Norwegian parentage. That which is
true of education we find also in the
religious world, for the sons of Nor
way in this country as in their own
temperance, and for the moral uplift
of the people. # ~.t .
In the field of politics we find again
Norwegian Americans who have not
only been successful from a personal
standpoint but men who have reflect
ed credit upon their states and upon
our nation, both In their states and in
the hall of congress and IL the United
States senate.
Today / am glad to join with you
for q little while in this wonderful
celebration, and to bring to you best
wishes for the people of my state, a
Wegian- Americans among its citizen
ship. But. in bringing to you these
good tidings. bring them not from the
Norwegian Americans alone, bur from
the men and women of all nationalities
gathered together in a great agricul-
tural commonwealth, from a people
of a high type of American citizenship
to give to you and the people back in
the Fatherland of Norway their kind
est and most cordial greetings.
For more than hundred years Nor
way has sent out her sons and daugh-
ters throughout the length and
breadth of the world and in every land
and in every cline wherever they have
made their homes throughout the
globe they have made for themselves
a name and record in keeping with
their parentage.
Within short time I hope to ex-
pect to see the land of Norway and to
meet in person the people of that coun-
try, in their own country, people
built upon the broad and homely lines
Of principle of integrity and industry.
those principles which are funda-
mental in the permanent upbuifding
of an empire, kingdom, or republic.
To the people of Norway, and on be-
half Of the people of North Dakota. a
monument of Abraham Lincoln is to
be presented, the statute of man who
perhaps approached nearest to the
Scandinavian ideal of manhood and
craftsmanship. When we turn back
the pages of history for fifty years we
find that during the dark days OF civil
strife the Scandinavian people OF our
country loved Lincoln, they fought for
