NEUTRAL POWERS
UNCERTAIN AS TO
LENGTH OF WAR
Hesitate to Answer Request That
They Enter struggle-1ndicates
Difference Of Opinion.
MAY MEAN SECOND STRUGGLE
Wilkinson Says German Navy Must
Be Destroyed-Allies Must Attack
West With 100000 Men.
By J. w. T. MASON.

New York, March 10.-The hest
tation of the neutral powers who are
being urged to enter the war is a sure
indication that differences of opinion
prevail among neutral statesmen con-
corning the outcome of the war.
These observers, favorably situated
for knowing the secret under-currents
that prevail in the European mael-
strom, are undoubtedly confused by
the possibilities for various endings
of the war. The most puzzling ques-
ton for neutral craftsmanship, anx-
ious to pick winner in advance, is
whether or not the war will end in
a draw, or at the most, in a very
moderate victory
Another Struggle.
1t is not probable that many of the
neutrals believe either side in the
present struggle will be decisively
overwhelmed; while possibilities of
q second war growing out of an in
conclusive peace are not as remote as
they might be. If militarism is not
overthrow it may prepare for an
other struggle on a far more scien-
tific scale, and the smaller powers,
hostile to the militarist nations may
be ultimately sacrificed.
Spencer Wilkinson, whose bril-
liant articles on South African and
Russo-Japanese wars in the London
Morning Post, caused him to be ap-
pointed chicle professor of military
history at Oxford, doesn't believe this
war will stamp out militarism An
"oism,' he says, is something spirit
ual, and force may be unable to de-
stroy it. Prof Wilkinson is the most
profound civilian student of military
subjects in Europe. x-s !. a.. r.. -
Destroy German Navy.
He says the German navy must be
destroyed, but it may at the cost of
the British navy; he asserts the Ger
man army must be shattered, but to
crush 100000 Germans, which, he
estimates are available for operations
in the west, he advises the allies to
attack with O,OOO-4,O 1000
French and 100000 English.
Opinions, such as these, circulating
among neutral nations must tend to
keep in check those opportunists who
believe this an excellent opportunity
to join the war so as to share in the
division Of the spoils. No neutral
statesman, viewing the present po-
sition Of the belligerents with impair
tial eyes, can positively affirm that
the best interests of his own coun-
try will be served by entering the
war, either with or against the al
lies. The outcome is as yet beyond
the vision of neutrals. .--,

LICENSE VOTE NOT NECESSARY
Baudette and Spooner Only Places in
County Now Having Saloons-Op-
ton Election Not Probable.

With much interest being shown
in many localities, the village and
town elections were held Tuesday. In
several places there were heated con-
tests for the town offices and in 9TH
ers the town meeting ballot was &C
cepted without opposition.
On account of the enforcement of
the Indian treaty, under which all of
the saloons of Beltrami county, with
the exception of those at Spooner and
Baudette, are closed, a vote on IL
quor license was not necessary at the
election. This brings another feat
ure into prominence, that of county
option. A vote on county option
would cost considerable money and
as only two villages would come un-
der it's jurisdiction it is probable that
vote will never be taken. Both are
on the Canadian border, and as one
man suggested, should county option
pass, the Rainy river would be cover
ed with floating barrooms.

The most frequent way In which re-

BROADWAY CROWD
DEFENDS THE FLAG
Man Taken for Its Insulter
Kicked. Punched and
Badly Used Up.
DECLARES HE DIDN'T DO 1T

The American nag found more than
400 stalwsrt defenders last night in the
heart OF the Broadway district.
Theodore Nielsen, a street evangelist,
VAS speaking from a platform in For
t~y-seventh street. Just of Broadway.
The audience extended out INTO that
thorou ghfare. The platform was draped
with an American flag, and directly in
front Of Nielsen there was a small open
space.
Into this space In the midst of Mel
sens haringue rushed a young man, eN'
cited and wild eyed. nielsen SAID later
that the man tried to grab him.. prob
ably with the intention of dragging him
off the platform, but IL this was so tho
young man missed his aim and tore the
nag from its position. To the crowd 1t
seemed that he was trying TO I ar down
the nag and trample II under foot.
Instantly there were shouts OF stop
him 90 Don't let him insult the nag I.
XIII HIM"
Those nearest stretched violent hands
In the young mans direction. and FOR the
next few mute there was "A fair sized
riot, men tanning and scrambling 10
get close enough TO the insulter OF the
nag TO kick. punch or scratch him. Mel
sens platform was overturned and he
was trampled on.
Finally policemen beat their way to
the centre of the mob M picked UP a
bleeding and bruised man. with cloth
ing torn, who seemed 10 be the tarset
for the attack. He was rushed to Il
nearby stable and the mob was driven
of. Nielsen aided In this by saying that
the man had tried to attack him and
not the flag.
In the West Forty-soventh street sta
ton house the mans injuries were
patched up. He said he was James
Moran. 81 years old. IA mechanic, OF 3Os
West Thirty-siNth street, and that II
was not he who tore down the fidg. Mel
sen refused to make Il complaint, bat
three members of the tnrong took his
place. Moran was discharged In night

stored he announced his intention OF
staying beside Nielsen for the rest OF the
service So no one else could insult the
nag.
