WAS NOT HOSTILE ACT

Washington, Nov. 23.-Captain Ben
ton C. Decker of the cruiser Tennes-
see has reported that the firing on
the ships launch by Turkish forts at
Smyrna, Asia Minor, was not intend
ed as a hostile act.
After a conference with President
Wilson Secretary Tumulty gave out
the following statement:
Boat from the Tennessee tried to
enter the harbor, which the Turkish
government had declared closed.
shot was fired across her bow to stop
it. The captain of the Tennessee re-
ports that it was not intended as
hostile act.
"A full investigation of the matter
is being made and explanations have
been asked of the Turkish govern
ment.
Further Delay Likely.
Previous attempts to communi-
cate with Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople have led to delays of
as much as a week"
Secretary Daniels authorized the
statement that Captain Decker's first
message on Nov. 1S. reporting the
firing, contained the words, 'act not
hostile"
He announced that Captain Deck
er's dispatch reporting the firing con-
tanned the words, ''act not hostile,
but unfriendly."
The navy department announce
ment omitted the contradictory
phrase, according to Mr.. Daniels, in
order to verify it, and word has come
that the message was correct as
originally sent. Secretary Daniels
was unable to explain it's meaning
and said that it seemed to him an ex-
preston OF opinion of the captain OF
the Tennessee without exact knowl
edge Of what took place on shore.

GUESSING AT GERMAN PLANS
May Use Burning Oil to Drive Allies
From Trenches.

From Trenches.
Paris, Nov. 23-Reports indicate
that the Germans may be about to
use new plan of driving the allied
troops from their trenches in Flanders
by the use of huge steel barges of
burning oil.
Barges in great numbers have been
brought up from the rear, together
with great quantities of crude oil. 1t
is believed to be the intention of the
Germans to launch these along the
User canal and in the inundated Sec
tions between Dixmude and the coast.
Fighting along the northern front is
still confined to artillery fire. There
are signs of renewed activity of the
British at Arras, however, having for
its objective the piercing of the Ger
man line of communication.

The camp is near the choicest sec

Wide Variety of Camp Study.
Arriving at the summer school
camps about April Is, when except
for belated snow storms spring has set
in, the students began systematic
campaign of forest studies and con-

Seeding of principal native species,
transplanting and care and selection
of the seedlings are included in the
nursery work, which is put under
way in April and May to conform to
the natural seasonal requirements.
Sylviculture-the growing Of trees in
stands-is one of the chief branches
of forestry taken up. Exhaustive
studies into the various growth fac
tors of soil, heat, moisture, light and
shade, applying to the widely differ
ent types of timber trees in Mime
sofa with attention concentrated on
the species important commercially
are made through field work with
auxiliary lectures and reading.
Course in Mensuration.
A course in mensuration, largely
work in the field, covers timber
cruising, valuation surveys, measure
ment of lumber and logs by different
units, the volume, growth and yield
of individual trees and stands, the
formation of log measurement
rules, and scientific stand, height,
volume and yield tables.
Surveying, topographic mapping
and map drawing is carried on under
field conditions and difficulties.
Diseases of trees and methods Of
combating them are outlined and
shown in the field in a forest path

lection and classification of insects
affecting forest trees.

WAS GOV. HANNA "GRAND STANDlNG?'

The following letter was sent to the
Hanna entertainment committee at
Fargo and shows how some of the
Scandinavians feel about the trip of
our governor to Norway at an impor-
tant juncture when Scandinavian votes
were 80 important.
R. S. Lewis, Chairman, Fargo, N. D.
We are in receipt of your letter Of
July Both, in reference to the pro-
posed reception to Gov. Hanna on his
return from Norway. We beg to say
that the rules and regulations of the
Sons of Norway, the order and lodges
Thereof are not permitted to take part in
or recognize any political demonstra-
ton, reception or advocacy. We are
aware that the proposed reception to
the Governor has been christened as a
non-partisan demonstration on his
return from the kingdom of Norway,
on accOun of the presentation of the
statue of Lincoln to the country from
which we or our forefathers came.
We are utterly incapable to view the
matter in this light. To US the whole
matter from its inception in the legis-
lative assembly up to and including
the present time, looks very much
like politics. A political move on
account Of the large Scandinavian
population in the state, and as mat
ters have been conducted it seems to
US that the whole matter has been
conducted for the political benefit of a
faction in one Of the great political
parties. While the Scandinavians,
principally, belong to one of the
great parties, yet they have many
members of all parties and therefore
the Sons of Norway would violate
both the constitution and the bylaws
of the order by lending color to any
reception or demonstration that
savors politics or factionalism. TAX
ing this view we respectfully decline
tn. invitation extended.
Issued by order of the Board of
Directors of the Sons of Norway.

The crop conditions in certain sec

One of this papers readers who left

states that men who have gone in
there to work through the harvest and

said: "We have not as yet heard
from Congressman Helgeson regarding

come forward in due time with the
plain statement that he was mistaken
and that Mr.. Underwood states the
facts as they were. Helgeson is not

are direct descendants of Queen Vic
toria and therefore are first cousins.
King George of England is a son of
the late King Edward VII, who was
Victoria's first son, and is, therefore,
also a first cousin of both Nicholas
and William. And Constantine of
Greece, the fourth of the cousins, is
a brother-in-law of the Kaiser, whom
he may oppose, as we'll as being a
first cousin by marriage to the Gar,
the Kaiser and King George. 1t is
rather a complicated family quarrel
and it may be taken for granted that
the war lords involved show a bitter
ness against one another that is
political rather than personal.

MEDICATION FOR THE PRESIDENT.

Now that practically all Europe has
been plunged into war over a pretext
that must be considered trifing in
deed absolutely contemplate in view
of the untold human misery involved
it is to be hoped that fair minded
Americans will begin to estimate
more at their true value the wisdom
and justice of their policy Of watchful
waiting which has proved so successful
in President Wilson's handling of the
Mexican question. The United States
had far more provocation for interview
ton in Mexico than Austria-Hungary
had for its truculent attitude toward
Servia. Huerta proved himself a
peculiarly exasperating person, with
much more ability and a greater COM
mand Of than We're at first
credited to him, and there can be no
doubt that a war of invasion, and
possibly even of permanent occupa-
ton, would have proved popular with
a large part of American public. At
ter the landing of Vera Cruz nothing
would have been easier than to find a
pretext for such a wal like policy.
1t is infinitely to the credit of
President Wilson and his advisers that
Notwithstanding the sneers and jeers
of the empty-headed, the malevolent
and the selfish intesrts that desired to
exploit Mexico for the benefit of their
w pockets, he refuses to take ad-
vantage of the weakness of a sister
republic, but adhered firmly to a line
of action that was high minded and
patriotic. Contrasted with the bully
ing arrogance of AUSTRIA Hungary,
which has set all Europe afame, the
presidents course has shown the high
est craftsmanship, and his country has
benefited immensely by his patience
and tact. This fact is now generally
recognized by intelligent republicans.
The Boston Herald a royal standpat
organ, after praising the president for
resisting the clamor to attack Mexico
and comparing his course with that of
the authorities in Vienna under less
p~rovocation, says:
but the president exercised a
staying and a steadying hand. We
did not go in. We have saved our
selves the horrors of war, and the
long legacy of hate through Latin
America which would surely have fol-
lowed. If the example of our own
president could find imitators among
the crowned heads of Europe it would
be a blessing to humanity. The
