Peace Delegates In
Session at Hauge
, Nearly all War-swept Countries
Have Representatives at This
Meeting in Holland

Fargo Forum-Americans are
prouder than ever Of Miss Jane
Addams, Chicago's renowned phi
lanthropist and sociologist, who
has been honored with unanimou
election as permanent chairman
Of the Women's Peace congress,
now in session at the Hague.
More than half the delegates are
Dutch women, and very large
per cent of the others are from
Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
A party of fifteen, under the
leadership Of Miss Jane Addams,
came direct from the United
States, via Rotterdam, in order
to- avoid the, vexatious delays OF
travel through England caused
by the severe regulations regard
ing wise of passports, home office
permits, etc. Delegations are
also present from Russia, Austria
Hungary, Serbia and even Tur-
key. The war-swept countries
Of Belgium and Poland, Italy,
Greece, and the other Balkan
states are likewise represented.
Most of the German delegates
are i'm attendance, the govern
ment having changed the order
issued, but the English women
who had planned to attend were
not allowed to go. It is said thar
practically every one OF the
twenty representatives of Ger
many have close relatives in the
kaiser's army. A fact Of great
interest is that the delegates
objected to this being called a
peace conference, as it is intend
ed to prevent further war. New
resolutions presented YESTERDAY
called for arbitration for all
world disputes, international
police to enforce decisions and
the giving Of men and women
equal rights on deciding foreign
policies, especially in the matter
of changes in ownership of terri
tory. This great meeting opened
at the 'peace capital" Of the
world at the invitation Of the
women Of Holland, supported b!
leaders in the progressive feanir
mist movement in the United
staxes-particularly the America
women's Peace party-and those
of the Scandinavian countries.

MANY PEOPLE 1NEURoPE
Will. CoME.HERE TO FARM

Fritz Beck, an agent of the
Swiss republic, is travelling in
the United States and has the
following to say:
''My country has been at war,
yet many Of my countfymen are
coming to America this year to-
remain. If this is true Of the
Swiss it is true In far greater
measure Of the. other peoples.
There are thousands who are
coming, bringing with them the
energy and the ability that has
always marked the European
farmers who have been restrict
ed to small tracts and so have
learned to do far more with a
given amount Of land than the
American farmer with his broad
acres has accomplished.
"This will mean the taking
up Of additional land, and the
better development Of land now
under cultivation. It will mean
heavy additions to the crop rev.
enues Of America and this in
turn must mean better economic
conditions. 1t is a piece of good
fortune that 1915 has brought
low rail rates, which will assist
the thrifty European farmer in
getting to farming country.
The European consulates are. go
ing to be very busy in the com
inc months.

GIRLS TEAM LOST
BASKET BALL GAMES

The girls basket bald team,
accompanied Ay four of the teacl
ers and two high school boys
came up from Wilton last Satur-
day and played two outdoor
games of basket ball with the To-
cal team. One game was played
in the morning with a score of
II to 0 and a second game i'm the
afternoon with a final score of
4 to 2, both in favor of Wilton.
The day was chilly and cloudy
and a strong wind blowing, part
of the time a heavy drizzle fell
making it very uncomfortable fel
the spectators but the players
We're able to keep warm.
The Washburn girls had only
practiced, once outside and that
was the evening before the
games. They had played before
the holiday in the Opera House
but lately have been unable to
have the use of it. They intend
to- put in some good work before
the field meet.
The Wilton girls have learned
to- keep their heads and watch for
signs and follow them. They
have had considerable. practice
and put on good game.
At the field meet the Washburn
girls expect to play both Under
wood and Wilton.
The Wilton people brought a
lunch with them and enjoyed a
picnic dinner at the Exchange.
They had intended eating outside
but it was tco cold.

may be Friendly. Men become
reserved, not p say suspicious,
by force of habit. 1t is an un-
fortunate and unjustifiable habit
and often leads to development
of that unspeakable community
nuisance the neighborhood
crouch. If men would more ofte
risk the chance Of a pleasant
word Of greeting to the stranger
it is certain that many a man
would arrive at this office in a
happier mood, and at the end Of
the year would have more friends
than if he had just passed along
engrossed in himself.

Three P1unS Fail
In North Dakota
Byrne, Brandt and Dixon Get
Appointments and Will Take
Offices at Once

Confirmation of the reports
here on Saturday relative to
the appointment Of p. N. Byrne
of this city as register at the To-
cal government land office has
since been received from Wash
ington, although official nntifica-
tion Of the appointment was not
received up to yesterday.
F. l.. Brandt Of this city has
been appointed receiver at the
Bismarck land office. Mr.. Brandt
has been a lifelong Democrat,
has resided in the state for ten
years and in this city for about
four years. He has been engaged
in the newspaper business for
about quarter Of century,
publishing both English and Ger
man papers. He is at present
the publisher Of the German pa
per known as Der Stats An
zeiger. For nearly two years
Mr.. Brandt was secretary to the
board Of control under the Burke
administration. Charles Stalay
is the present receiver in the To-
cal office.
w. B. Dixon of I4angdon was
appointed register at the Diekin-
son office.
From the above in the Trib-
une it will be seen that both
places if the land office fell to
Bismarck men. We had hoped
that one of them would fall in
Mclean county and that Joseph
Mann would be. the one. He is
a well known man, had been we'll
recommended and was deserving
Of the place.
There is no question but that
both Bismarck appointments are
good ones. We have known Mr..
Byrne since he first came here
in the early '8Ois and he has
made good wherever he has
been. He is an honorable true
business man. No better selec-
ton for register could have
been made. The public will be
we'll served as long as he 0p-
crates the office.
Hon. F.. l.. Brandt is also q
very good man and the govern
ment made a plendid selection
i'm him. He is a newspaper man,
broad minded, has good char
acter and is we'll qualified for
the receivership so nothing can
be said about either appointment
but we would like to have seen
one of the plums fall to ssome-
one n Mclean county, Mr..
Brandt is well known in this
county and has many friends
who will be glad to hear of his
appointment. He has been Sec
retary and has taken an active
part i'm organizing the German
Bund. The receivership will be
in very good hands when Mr..
