TURKEY OPPOSES
WARSH|P DEAL
Protest Against Selling Battle
ships to Greece.
WANTS TO PRESERVE PEACE
The President Favored the Sale Be-
cause He Was Informed That 1t
Would Be In Interest OF
Peace

Washington, D. C.-With the Turk.
ish government formally protesting
against the proposed sale of the
American battleships Mississippi and
Idaho to Greece, rumblings of war be
tween Greece and Turkey were carried
Monday to the White House. The
diplomatic representatives of the two
countries called on President Wilson
within a few minutes of each other,
one to urge and the other to oppose
the warship deal. Greece takes the
position that if she buys the vessels
the balance of power in the Mediter-
ranean will be preserved and peace
maintained, while Turkey claims that
peace can best be guaranteed by the
refusal of the United States to aid in
augmenting her rivals naval force.
President Wilson told callers that
he favored the sale of the battleships
to Greece, because it had been repre-
sented to him that such action would
be in the interest of peace. He said
that if he thought the vessels would
be used in an immediate war he would
not consent to their sale.
The new Turkish ambassador, Rus
tenn Bey, called on the President, os-
tensibly to present his credentials, and
the Greek charge d'affaires, A. Vouros,
presented the new Greek naval at
tache, Commander Tsouklas. Both
diplomats took the opportunity, how.
ever, to present their views on the bat
tleship controversy.
The Greek charge stated later that
the acquisition of the battleships by
Greece was necessary to prevent war
between Turkey and Greece, which
would otherwise be brought about by
the seizure by Turkey of adjacent
Greek possessions. He based the
claim of Greece to naval expansion on
the treaty of London and Athens,
which ceded the Islands of Chic and
Mitylene to Greece, and declared
Greece must be in position to defend
these possessions.
Mr.. Vouros declared that Greece in
tends to keep pace with Turkeys naval
expansion. He pointed out that even
when Turkey obtains a dreadnought.
which is now being built for her in
Brazil, Greece will be stronger if she
acquires the American battleships.
Greece has another battleship under
construction in Germany, the guns of
which are being made in Bethlehem,
Pa. Turkey has battleship under
construction in Great Britain, but, &C
cording to Mr.. Vouros, an agreement
of Neutrality makes it impossible to
deliver this vessel within "a hours of
the outbreak of war.

Valuable information.

A happy couple were on their way
to Scotland. They had to change
trains at Carlisle, and an obliging por-
ter, while struggling with the lug
gage, noticed that the young lady's
hair was dotted with rice. He ap-
preached the young man and, pulling
a folded paper fromm his pocket, said:
"A present for you, sir, with the
company's compliments
Indeed" said the traveller; what is
it?"
"a railway map, SIR"
"Oh, thank you, but what are these
marks in blue pencil?'
That's the beauty of it, sir; those
marks show just where the tunnels are

Fooled Once.

Little Francis was not to be fooled
twice.
The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fiercely be-
tween the heavy. incessant rolling
of the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling. There's
nothing to fear God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air, water
the flowers, and make it cooler for us.
Now, don't cry, DEAR 1t won't harm
you, and everything will be better
when it's over"
The little fellow listened intently,
and as his mother finished he looked
up at her gravely, and said: No, no,
mother, you talk exactly the way you
did last week when you took me to
the dentist, to have my tooth pulled.

Washington, D. C.-Railroads are
not liable for injury to interstate en-

BILLINGS COUNTY
IS REDISTRICTED

New England, n. D., March 25.-A
petition was filed in the Office of the
auditor of Billings county under the
date Of March 9, 1914, asking to have
the commissioner districts redistrict
ed. 1t was only necessary for Pts le-
gal voters to petition for redistrictfng,
but the petition presented had $40
signers, which plainly showed that the
voters were in favor of redistricting.
The auditor. county judge and clerk
met as a redistricting board and acted
upon the petition and rediStricted the
county according to territory and pop
ulatiOn as follows:
First commissioner district to en-
brace all of townships 14~1-142-143-144
north of ranges 98-99-100-101-102, OF
the same as it was before.
Second commissioner district the
same as before, namely, all of town
ships 137-138-139-140 north of ranges
l O-1O1-102 with all of townships 1873
134-135-1G6 north Of ranges 9S-99-10C
added.
Third commissioner district to en-
brace all of townships 133-134-135
north of ranges MISUNDERSTANDING
106 and all of township 1876 north OF
ranges 101-102-103-104.
This leaves the first commissions
district with twenty congressional
townships, second commissioner dis
triCt with tWenty-four congressional
townships and the third commissioner
district with twenty-five COMPRESSION
al townships, and the population in
each Of the districts practically equal,
as the law provides. The districts
cannot be r&districted for FIVE years
unless there should be county division.

FORKS MEN
AFTER The MIDLAND

Grand Forks, n. D., March 20
Grand Forks will get a southwestern
railroad in the next two years, if the
proposition submitted to the Grand
FORKS Commercial club by the Midland
Continental railroad is. worked out.
Under 1t, Grand Forks must provide a
right of way from Sharon, n. D., and
already the Commercial club, Of this
city has an agent in the field to COM
ply with this proposition.
The Midland Continental, the early
activities Of which were clouded with
uncertainty, has come through the pre-
liminary stages successfully and is now
or q good financial basis. The road
has been constructed from Edgeley to
Wimbledon, with Jamestown as the
headquarters.
The Grand Forks extension would
cross Griggs, Steele and Grand Forks
counties, touching Cooperstown, Shar-
on and Northwood. S~herbrook, the
county seat Of Steel county, is anxious
to get the road, the only difficulty in
making that point being the grade,
which is too great.
p. $. Hilliboc, the agent OF the
Grand Forks Commercial club, is max
ing a tour of the surveyed route from
Sharon to Grand Forks. He will re-
club as to the best policy to be pur-
sued in meeting the demands Of the
railroad.
Winnipeg is the ultimate objective
point Of the Midland. If it constructs
into Grand Forks, the company hopes
to be able to make arrangements with
the 500 line for d route from Plum
mcr, Mimi, to Grand Forks, thus en-
tcring Winnipeg and Duluth.
