dates has revealed Enthusiastically
the working of a democratic
heaven in the nation. But it has
worked too feebqy and too in
sufficiently. There is now to be
accomplished through the horror
of war what should have been
achieved by peaceful political
agitation. But whether by war or
by bloodless revolution, German
democracy is destined to come in
to it's. own. To doubt this is to
doubt the eternal purpose and
the broadening process of the
suns.
As for our ellow4Nanadian
citizens of German origin we
can we'll afford to adopt gene
rous attitude. We have had
proofs of their good citizenship
and Of their loyalty to Canada.
They are not responsible for the
present madness of the German
military war lords, although it
will be impossible for them not
to feel in some degree their
blood relationship with Britain g
enemy. Their loyalty to Canada
will receive neither shock nor
hurt, and it will he for us, in the
circumstances, to play the larger
hearted part.

INDIANS PAY TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY OF DEAD

The following taken from the
Maadan News shows something
of the esteem in which Mr.. Tim
norman of Mandan was held:
Driving 80 miles to and from
this city and kneeling in fearful
prayer at the side of his coffin
was the tribute paid the late G:
u. Zimmerman by Two Bulls and
his wife, full bQooded Indians
from near Cannon Ball on the
! Standing Rock reservation.
The couple came in with a
team Monday and inquired their
way to the church where Mr..
! Timmerman's remains lay in
state. Only four or five of the
boys from the First National
Bank were present when they
reached the church shortly after
two o'clock, and they marched
stoliaiy to the front, where, after,
long look at the placid features
Of the deceased the woman burst
into tears and the man heaved a
heavy sigh. Then, without a
word or look at each other, the
two kneeled at the side OF the
coffin and offered a prayer in
their native language.
Rising, they looked with tear
, filled eyes at those about and the
woman shook hands with them al
They started the. e.ssame afternoon
! on their long drive back to the
reservation.
A more sincere mark OF tri-
butte could not be imagined, and
coming as it did from q humble
Indian couple to whom Mr.. Tim
norman had during his life time
shown the same kindness and
!! generosity that he shpre for every
human no matter what the race
or color comiinI,g from them, it
marked the Illt of the regard

RETURNED FROM TRIP
IN THE OLD COUNTRY

nesday from trip abroad. He
finished at a business school in
Fargo in March and left at once
for Washington where he met
his mother, Mrs. l.. M. Wallin
who had spent several months
in Panama. Together they went
to the old country to visit relat-
ives. They visited in Norway
Sweden, Denmark, France and
England.
Vic tells very interestingly,
of his trip while abroad and the
excitement on the way home.
He enjoyed the famous canal
trip through Sweden, the trip
that all tourists take when they
reach Sweden Although he had
a good time, he was glad to get
back to the United States.
He and his mother left on
July 29th on the Royal mail
steamer Olympia and it took
them six and quarter days to
make the voyage. During the
first two days nothing out OF
the ordinary happened. 1t was
before Germany had declared
war. Then an order came to
have no lights on the boat. The
passengers did not know the
meaning of this. The next day
orders came to make all possible
haste to New York: During one
night the captain changed cours-
es four times and in a dense fog
which lasted four hours he made
% knots an hour. At this rate
it takes >teamer two and a
half hculs to be stop
ped and the passengers dad not
enjoy the speed. The captain
was also ordered to beware OF
the Kron Fr:nz Cecilie which
took on coal at New York for the
battleship Dresden. It was fear
ed either the Olympia or Maure-
tania would be interferred with
The passengers were not allow
ed to send wireless messages but
they were received and bulletins
posted SO they were kept inr
formed of all war movements.
They decided they had just left
that country in time.
Two, naval reserve men were
on the boat to take charge shoulc
anything happen on the voyage.
This too was not made public un-
til Just before reaching New
York.
A number of foreigners who
were on the boat decided to re-
turn at once and join the army.

Comfy d Division Is
Talked Again
New County to be Named Robin

GarTison or Max

1-HAS0SC uCSu0J CuC UuSAACSS AuCA
Of Garrison started a petition for
county division Of Mclean coun-
ty and about twenty-five autos
started out of Garrison circulat-
ing the petition. The new di-
vision proposes to take in the
north half Of the county, starting
at the north boundary and run
ming south on the line between
range seventySeven and seventy
eight to the southeast corner Of
township one hundred forty-nine,
range seventy-eight, then along
the south line of township one
hundred forty-nine west to the
northeast corner of township one
hundred forty-eight, range eighty
three, then south along the east
side Of the same township to the
southeast corner then. along the
south line to the northeast corner
of township one hundred forty
seven, range eighty-four, then
south along the east line Of the
same township to the southeast
corner Of that township and
thence west to the Missouri
river. This will take in all of
the reservation country, and also
takes in Dpgden which was left
out by the other proposition
which was voted upon six years
ago. The, division as proposed
would leave the old Mclean cour'
ty a compact county and all of
the new county would be so sit
uated that if the county seat
should be at either Max or Garri-
son, all parts of the county
could reach the county seat by
train. We understand that the
petition was not filed with the
county commissioners at the last
meeting but will be filed at the
next meeting Of the board. A
petition was filed with the COM
missioners at the August meeting
for bonding the county for new
court house which will be
submitted to the voters at the
fall election, and we understand
also that another petition for
county division will be submitted
to the county commissioners at
their next meeting to counter-act
the Garrison petition. What ef-
feet this new petition will have
on the proposition is problemeti-
cal, but. one thing is certain,
Washburn will not allow the, new
county division to go through
without making every effort
possible to mix things up in good
shape. The name Of the new
proposed county will be "Rob-
inson'' if it 'ever becomes a
county.
The Max commercial club
met Tuesday forenoon to con-
slider the proposition and decided
to help circulate the petition and
help get the matter to a vote,
but no, final action was taken as
to what part Max will take in
the matter kaa YET been decided
upon, but VIE be taken up at a
meeting to be held in. the near
future and. IL it il then thought
