II am appalled, at this statement
and feel that every method and de-
vice should be employed to rid the
world of so terrible disease" says
the governor. "The sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals serves double
purpose; first, it calls attention to the
financial outlay in caring for tuber-
culosis; secondly, it furnishes a
means to carry on the work of pre-
venting and relieving a disease which
claims one of every four persons
dying between the ages of fifteen and
fifty.
81 am glad to see that efforts are
being made everywhere to combat the
ravages of tuberculosis and feel
that the Minnesota Public Health as
ISOLATION is to be commended in its
efforts to make Tuberculosis Week,
December 6 to ~, one in which the
people will be instructed in the fight
to prevent and eradicate this evil"
The governor is urging all state
officials to boost the campaign per-
sonally and officially by buying and
encouraging the purchase of the
seals, ninety per cent of the proceeds
of which will be used in antt-tuber-
culosis work in this state.

The Germans have marked Bagdad
as the center Of the new colonial en-
pire which they hope to acquire in
Mesopotamia. In this area, where
the worlds civilization was born,
Teut0nic influences are destined, ac-
cording to imperialist belief in Ber-
lin, to create new civilization cen
ter. "
German statesmen long have been
prepared to make sacrifices to OBJ
tain Bagdad. British occupation of
the city will not make or remake or
discourage Germany's attitude to-
ward that part of the world. Ger
many will make British evacuation of
Mesopotamia one of their principal
demands. They undoubtedly will be
willing to pay heavily for this, in the
form Of excavations of territory now
held by German arms. i: -

Reports have been in circulation
this week that a large Russian army
is now concentrated in the Odessa
military district, ready for dispatch
to the Balkans. It is not improbable
that such is the case. Russians have
ceased in their offensive along the
eastern front, and they may we'll be
preparing, therefore, for Balkan
drive. Reports from Bucharest de-
clare the Rumanians are ready for
any policy that will make the most
out Of the war for themselves, and
there is no, doubt but that the car
can purchase right of way for his
armies through Rumanian territory.
The price, however, must include the
concentration of so large a Russian
army that Rumania will run practic-
ally no risk of being invaded and de-
vastated by the Teutons.

THE SUGAR FACTORY.

There are no new developments in
the situation as regards the sugar

made to conform to the other con-
tracts. The local committees are now
attending to this, and nearly all OF
them can be remedied. The location
of the factory in the valley some
where depends only upon getting the
required acreage contracted for in
manner acceptable to the factory
builders While there are many
rumors concerning the location Of
the factory, none Of them are author
lied, and Mr.. Nibley and his asso-
ciates will not come to the valley to
select the site till they are assured
that the acreage is ready. The Grants
Pass committee has at all times
worked, and is still working, with
the purpose OF getting the acreage

ostensibly the South Africans are

SIX 81 CARDINALS
ARE CREATED BY
POPE BENEDICT
fRx limited Press Leased wire.

(By United Press Leased wire.)
Rome. Dec. 6.---Pope Benedict In
the consistorial hall today held one
of the most important conclayes in
the history OF the Roman Catholic
church.
From his allocution Vatican circles
hoped there would develop moves for
an early end OF the war.
The first steps of the new consis-
tory were to create six new cardinals
as follows:
Monsignore Alfonso Maria Mis-
trangelo. archbishop OF Florence.
Monsignore Gulio Tonti, nuncio at
Lisborn.
Monsignore Giovanni Cagliero.
nuncio for Central America.
Monsignore Andreas Furwith,
Austrian nuncio at Munich.
Monsignore Rafaello Scappilino.
nuncio at Vienna.
Monsignore Girogio Gusmini,
archbishop at Boulogne.
A seventh archbishop is secret and
will be announced later.
1t was known that the pope would
exhort the cardinals to renewed
peace efforts and detail again the
horrors of the war.
Cardinals Bourne and Gasquet Of
England, Cabrierez of France. and
Hartmann at Germany are attending.
Each, IL is believed, brought his gov
ernment's peace views, and from
these exchanges Of ideas, it is felt,
may spring the beginnings Of peace.

cution today contained a stirring ap-
