The understanding in official cir

While the German government will
not insist on consuls in Belgium to
take out new exequatrrs from Ger

only by permission from military
authorities controlling the territory
containing the consulate.
There are United States consular

Necessity for Harmonizing Pur-

Several attempts have been made

es where these oyerlapped one anoth-
er.
These meetings arrived at nothing
practical but there was a general
feeling that all educational units
could be grouped around the normals,
university and college of agriculture.
1t was freely admitted by the trustees
that the tendency was for each ilsti-
tuition to duplicate each others func-
tons
In fact, miniature universities
are being built up at the various in
stitutions. An examination of the cat
alogues show this to be true. For in
stance, the Industrial school at ELLEN,
dale wants $4,000 for new buildings.
A portion of this money is desired
for an agricultural building. An addi-
tional $4,000 is asked for equipment,
a portion Of which is to be used in
the agricultural courses.
Agriculture Taught.
AT Bottineau, where a forestry
course is taught, the natural. drift is
toward agricultural courses. The
same is more or less true at Wahpe-
ton. All these institutions teach ag-
riculture and the scope of these de-
partments is expanding yearly. In

course, until in time, a smattering
of nearly all subjects usually found
in higher schools of. learning is offer
ed.
The Wahpeton school offers a
teachers course, thus entering in a
limited degree the Normal school
field.
... Normal Courses.
At 'Ellendale normal courses are
offered ranging from an elementary
course to four and five-year course.
These are examples to show the
duplication going on. The state is
supporting three normal schools and
there is no reason why the Ellendale
and Wahpeton schools should dupli-
cate this work.
The teaching of agriculture and the
preparation of teachers should be con-
fined to the Agricultural college and
the Normal schools. In fact, no sub
jects are taught at Wahpeton, Ellen
dale or Botti1eau that could not be
handled more efficiently and at a

SUPREME COURT WILL RE-

MURDER CASE ON HABEAS
CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
LOVER COURT IS REVERSED
II May Be Year and Half Before
Case Is Heard at Washington.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2S.-Justice

appeal from the refusal of federal dis.
trict court of Northern Georgia to re-
lease on habeas corpus proceedings,
Lee M. Frank, under death sentence
for murder of Mary Phagan, Is years
old, a factory girl, at Atlanta, Ga.
Frank was sentenced to die January
%, but Lammar's action effects an in
definite stay Of execution.
Thirty days is given for filing CT
record of proceedings in the lower
court. Immediately after that the
state Of Georgia may ask the case TO
be advanced for hearing and such
suggestions generally are granted, al
though in regular course the case will
not come up fer a year and half.
Etire Court to Hear Case.
The entire court will pass upon
Franks right to seek release from
custody on writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the trial court in
Fulton county, Ca, lost jurisdiction
over him by it's failure to have him
present when the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty. Should the court de-
eide he is entitled to ask for writ,
thus reversing Judge Newman, of
the lower court, the case may be
remanded to the district court for TAX
ing of evidence to support the petit
tion.

Atlanta, Dec. 2S.-Solicitor Dorsey,
who prosecuted the Frank Case, said
the state will expedite the case and

POINTS OUT COMPLAINTS.

Our Trade With BeIIigerents.
What this means to American busi-
ness can be shown by few figures.
In 1913 our exports to Germany we're
over $33,OOO'u0O-nearly half being
cotton-and to Austria-Hungary, $685.
100000. To these we can now add
Turkey, over $2,000,OG0; a total OF
$35, 100000. Since England closed
the North Sea exports to Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Holland, which
reached $163 100000 in 1913, have
been seriously hampered. The re-
verse trade in imports to the United
States is also enormous. In 1918, i'm
ports from Germany were practically
$190,0O0, 600; from Austria4Hungary,
$19,O00,000; from Turkey, practically
S10.000,00O. This makes a total OF
S219, ,00O,O 600. Imports from Norway
Sweden, Denmark and Holland agsre-
gated $60,000.00O. In other words,
the markets for some IA per cent Of
our exports ald IL per cent of our
imports have been practically elm
mated, while the markets for an addi-
tional 6 IL per cent of exports and
3 1-3 per cent of imports may be Sc
riously impaired. In addition, the fin
ancial stress of the war has affected
every country in the world more or
less directly, as we are now witness
ing in our endeavors to expand our
trade with South America and absorb
some of Germany's and Austria's un-
occupied markets.
Economic Pressure.
AS regards our direct trade with
Germany and Austria, the situation is
new and pressing. 1t is created not
merely by the fact of war itself, but
by the adoption of plan of economic
strangulation formerly published by
the Allies as one of their most power
full engines of offense, in the same
way as the North strangled the South,
only on far more vast and elaborate
scale. The basis of action by which
the preponderance of the British and
French fleets is made such a fOrmid-
able weapon, closing slowly down on
central Europe like the ram of some
great hydraulic press, is found in the
principles contained in the doctrine
of contraband. Never sharply defin-
ed, this doctrine is now being expand
ed practically at the dictation Of the
Allies and there is very little that
can restrain them. There is no real
law on Che subject. England and
France therefore have settled down
with grim determination and bulldog
tenacity to strangle Germany and
Austria just as England strangled Ma
poleon 100 years ago. Economic pres
sure is being made to play role no
less important than the battles of the
armies in the field. The American
business man must face this situa-
tion and realize its significance.
Contraband Rulings.

not be strictly defined. There has

BARNES CASE
Was ARGUED
Unique Point Raised in Supreme
Court on Habeas Corpus
Proceedings.

Arguments were heard yesterday
by the supreme court in the habeas
corpus case brought to secure The
release of Ed Barnes, former deputy
sheriff, sentenced to ten days in the
county Jail for assault and battery
upon the person of Chris Martineson
J. M. Hanley, tMandan, and f. H.,
Register presented the arguments
ments for the appellant. H. r. Berndt
and Thee Koffeil appeared for the
state.
The point raised is unique in North
Dakota, probably the first time such
an issue has been brought before the
North Dakota courts.
Barnes attorneys take the position
that their client has been placed in
jeopardy twice for the same ofsense
and that the district court was with
out jurisdiction in passing sentence
upon Barnes.
Ed Barnes when arrested for as
sault and battery pleaded guilty be-
fore Police Magistrate Casselman and
was fined S..
The state takes the position that
inasmuch as Barnes attorney did not
raise this issue when Barnes pleaded
to the information in the district
court, that all his rights were waived.
Barnes was tried on information
charging him with assault to kill. The
jury refused to find him guilty of this
offense and under the charge cf the
court was able to bring in a verdict
of guilty of assault and battery.
The decision of the supreme court
which is anticipated in day of two
is awaited with a great deal of in
terest.
