 COTTON SHIPMENTS

London. December 9.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-There IS strong feeling in the London market that underwriters should have nothing to 60 with cotton shipments which it is proposed to make from the United States to Germany in neutral ships.
 Proposals are said to have been made that the underwriters give their agents in the United States authority to accept reinsurance, but they consider such ac- ton would in effect amount to trading with the Germans They also believe il might be difficult to limit the shipments entirely to cotton and that vessels might not leave Germany empty.

COM, TAKE Up
APPROPRIATION
ORDINANCE NAMING PROBABLE
LEVIES REQUIRED TO RUN THE
CITY DURING THE COMING
YEAR PLACED ON FIRST READ
ING.

The appropriation ordinance. In
which an estimate of the amount OF
money required to run the city dur
ing the coming year are named, was
placed on it's first reading at a ses-
sion of the city commissioners held
this forenoon.
The ordinance. as drafted contained
the probable levies that will be made
to operate the various departments
of the city government, but Of course
are likely to be amended before the
ordinance is finally passed and be-
comes a bonifide levy. According to
the ordinance as it now stands the
total levy this year will not exceed
the one made last year.
The commissioners took up several
other matters. j, A. Chesley was
awarded the contract to furnish the
city with coal during the coming
year his being the lowest of four bids
offered. One bid was received for the
improvements to be made to the de-
tention hospital. The bid was made by
Il. F. Powers, the matter being re-
ferred to the commissioner Of public
buildings. Some minor matters were
taken up and disposed of.

Five cardinals of sixty six in the
Roman Catholic church are being seri-
ously considered for the place left va
cant by the death of Pope Plus. The
new pope must be a cardinal whose
piety, intellectual attachments and
executive ability are we'll known. He
must be an Italian, as although the
sacred college is free to elect a for
eigner, for many centuries the pope
has been an Italian, and = foreign
pope, it is feared would compromise
the question of temporal power. Every
cardinal is bound by oath to defend,
integrally and strenuously, the tenn
poral rights and the liberty Of the holy
see, especially the civil prircipality of
the pope. This implies that if elected
pope he is expected to oppose recon
Citation with Italy, and a foreigner
may fail to do so, while the three

Fargo Public Schools
Will Open Sept. e.
Big Increase Expected
Preparations Now Being Made for Big Opening of Fargo
Public Schools on Tuesday, Sept. 8
Indications Are That Enrolment This Year Will Be the
Biggest Ever Recorded for Fargo Schools
Fargo High Schools Enrolment Will Show Perceptible
Increase Over All Previous Years

The Fargo public schools will open
this year on Tuesday, Sept. 8, accord
ing to announcement made this morn
ing at Superintendent Hoover's Office.
Everything is in perfect readiness
for the opening day Of school. The
clferent school buildings of n city
V been thoroughly overhauled dur
ing the summer months and put in
excellent condition for the pupils when
they resume their studies within the
next fortnight.
The indications are, from the large
amount of correspondence received a.
superintendent Hoover's office. that
the attendance on the opening date Of
school this year will be exceedingly
large.
The enrolment Of the Fargo hisn
school last year showed an increase
Of fifty over the year before on he
opening day Of school. 1t is expected
that the increase of the high school
enrolment this year will be even
greater than a year ago
Superintendent Hoover has been in
correspondence with a number of

people outside the city who express
their intention of sending their chill
dren here to finish their common school
education.
Correspondence from the outside is
indicative that many non-residents
will be enrolled at the Fargo high
school this year. 1t is certain that
there will be at least sixteen of these
nonresident pupils in the high school
this year If not more.
Superintendent Hoover has express
ed a desire to have the parents of ali
school children who are entering
school for the first time go to the
superintendent office and procure ad-
mission certificates at any time before
Sept. 8. The superintendent office
will be open all the time for the next
week.
Parents are urged to take ADVANTAGE
of this fact so as to avoid the incon-
venience of large numbers on the
opening day Of school. AS Mr.. Hoover
himself, in speaking of this request
today, laughingly said, come early and
avoid the rush."
