In question is the good faith Of Mr..
Asquith and Sir Edward Grey In their
party relations with the Liberal ma
jority In the house OF commons.
1t is now clear that they believed
that If they disclosed their military
and naval preparations and the en-
gagements we had undertaken against
the Prussian peril they would be IN
able to hold their majority In the house
OF commons together. They therefore
gave their followers assurances which
misled them completely as to the exist
ence OF such preparations and engage
ments.

Il Germans Succeed
in Getting Control
They Would Shut the
Factories for War

Chicago, June 8.-A dispatch from New
York says: negotiations are in progress be-
tween the German government or German bank
ers for the purchase of the control of the Bethe-
hem Steel Co. of Bethlehem, Pa, and the Rem
ington Arms Co. of Hartford, Conn.,.
''These negotiations are declared to be on
the eve of success. If the Germans succeed in OBJ
tanning control of the firms mentioned the plan is
according to reports, to shut down the works and
thus prevent them from continuing the manufac-
ture of arms and ammunition and other ma
terial contracted for by the allies. The only re-
course of the allies would be to the courts. Un-
doubtedly the courts would compel the companies
to pay damages, but Germany could afford topay
them if she obtained victory in the war. She
merely would add the damages to the bill for in
demnity.
"It is recognized in banking and business cir
cles here that this mater is of the highest import
ance to the allies and to Germany as well, De-
prive the allies of the output of the Bethlehem
Stel Co. and the Remington Arms Co. and they
would be unable to cary on the war successfully.
The conflict has come to be recognized as depend
ent entirely on supplies. Germany and Austria
Hungary can turn out al they can possibly re-
quire. Any lack of munitions on the part of the
allies would give their enemies decisive advan-
tage.

O'Neal Tells Students
of the Fallacies of
Lifeat Commencement

~Tis in ourselves, whether we be
thus, or thus" This was tho Shake
spearian text taken by Ernest Wray
Oneal in his address at the commence
ment exercises at the agricultural COL
lege this morning when the noted
speaker spoke to the graduates on the
subject of Popular Fallacies.
Ernest Wray Oneal is a noted Chi
cago divine His work in the Loop
District church in Chicago has attract
ed nationwide attention. 1t is said
that more business men hear Ernest
Wray Oneal speak than any other man
in the pulpit in America. He is not
only a forcible and effective speaker,
but deep thinker and a student of
social problems. Few men in this
country today are in greater demand
than Mr.. Oneal. He has addressed
thousands of men in Boston, New
York, Washington, Philadelphia, and
Chicago. His work with the student
body of the University of Illinois when
a resident of Urbana, was commented
upon in many leading publications.
He is at present carrying on a great
social work in Joliet, Ill. 1t is, in
deed, doubtful whether many social
workers understand men as does Mr..
Oneal.
The address Of Rev. Mr. Oneal this
morning delt particularly with the fall
acies that make against success in the
life OF the young man or woman and
he delt with the subject in a common
sense way that appealed to all who
heard him, and the talk should prove a
beneficial sermon, not only to the
graduates of the college but to the
general public, as well.
There were four principal falIacies
with which the speaker delt in his ad-
dress.
First-"It is a failacy that brain can
dispense with brawn." In celebrating
on this topic, Rev. Mr.. Oneal called
especial attention to the necessity of
good physical condition as support

The chasm was bridged last night,
when between 5000 and 1000 people
of Fargo and other places in North Da-
kota visited the North Dakota agri-
cultural college and took in the big
exposition, that for several weeks has
been looked forward to by both the
faculty and students of the institution
and by the citizens.
The exposition was one Of the big
gest things that has ever been pulled
off at the institution and was probably
one Of the best things that could have
been promulgated to bring the urban
and the rural together in mutual un-
derstanding. While the cadet band of

PETITION
IS DEAD
r.s

Bismarck, N. D.. June s.-A very
careful check Of the signers to the
referendum petition to the immigfa-
ton bill which appropriates 100000
for the promotion of immigra ton,
shows that there are 1921 names at
tached to the petition presented to
and filed with Secretary of State Hall
on or before June 3. If there were
no Implications and all of the sigma
lures were in full this would be
enough to refer the bill. But an
equally careful check of the names
shows there are at least $50 with no
postoffice addresses. The duplica-
tions of which it is known there are
a number, have not been checked
This effectually disposes Of all chance
of the bill being referred as Mr.. Hall
