Girls Debate is Cancelled

Fargo, Dec. 10.-It was with consid-
cradle reluctance that Professor Bene-
dict, head of the rhetoric and ortory
department of Fargo college, announc-
ed this morning, that the triangular
debate between the girls teams of
Valley City, Jamestown and Fargo col
lege, which was scheduled for Jan. II,
has had to be postponed. Word was
received from both the Valley City
normal and jamestown college to the
effect that they were unwilling to &C
cept so short a time for preparation.
Both teams, however, are anxious to
debate and further arrangements will
no doubt be made for a contest later
in the year. At present Jamestown is
negotiating with the Mayville normal
girls team and has suggested that
Fargo college join with them in form
ing a league.

The Best Fair ofYears

Anyone who has not visited the Mid
winter fair at the Armory has passed
up an opportunity for seeing one of
the best things of the kind ever held in

with Germany there has been much
discussion of the socialist interpella-
ton and that the knowledge that
peace was to be discussed in the reich.
stag has been source of satisfaction
to those countries.
This was incomprehensible in view
of the success won in the campaign
against Serbia, which opened the
road to Germany's Turkish allies, and
threatened the most vulnerable points
of the British empire. Although the
situation would explain a desire for
peace on the part of Germany's enc
mics he declared that none of them
had made overtures. Instead, they
were clinging to the intentions which
they had announced publicly, with
naive brutality" at the beginning of
the war.
The chancellor then reviewed recent
utterances concerning conditions of
peace made in countries opposed to
Germany, such as the handing over Of
Alsace and Lorraine to France, the
humiliation of "Prussian militarism,"
expulsion of the Turks, the cession of
the left bank of the Rhine and the
creation of a greater Serbia, including
Bosnia.
1t was true, the chancellor contin-
ued, that there were some persons in
the countries at war with Germany
who took sensible position, but they
were in the minority, and their voices,
like those of certain members of the
English house of lords, unheard.
The theories advanced by Germany's
enemies, he said, had lost their force
The people had ceased speaking of a
war of 20 years. The pretext that
the war was being waged for the pro-
lection of small nations had lost it's
persuasive power, in view of the re-
cent events in Greece.
Small countries are in a serious
plight since England has been fight
ing for them," he remarked.

High School Ministries
Pleased Large Crowd

The queen Of Dahomey and her suite
entertained large audience Friday
night at the High school auditorium in
a splendid style. The queen, imper-
sonated by Prof. Cockerill, was ex-
ceedingly regal in appearance and her
superiority was shown by her alooft-
ness. A blare of trumpets announced
her entrance, bringing the assembled
subjects to their feet, while she mount
ed her throne attended by her
two little pages, the Gold
Dust twins. A good chorus
made harmony through the program.
The coons were certainly good speci-
mems of the race and were gorgeously
CARRIED and accordingly happy. In
the first part Prof. E. N. Johnson acted
as interlocutor with Prof. Stevenson
as Tambo and Arthur Adamson as
Bones. The solos by the two end
men were highly appreciated by the
audience. In the second part Arthur
Adamson acted as interlocutor and
Palmer Nelson, Mable Baarstad, Hilma
Larson and Walter Kranz were Bones
and Tambo. The jokes were all well
executed and certainly appreciated by
the audience. Solos by Lawrence
Stenshoel and Palmer Nelson were
also exceedingly enjoyed.
The school orchestra, directed by
Miss Louise Peterson, added much to
the enjoyment of the occasion. Much
credit is due to the earnest efforts of
Arthur Adamson to make the produc-
tion a success. The affair was in the
hands of Miss Louise Peterson, Miss
Margaret Plank and Prof Stevenson,
who did their parts we'll and produced
a program Of pleasure to all who list
ened. The proceeds 90 to the athle-
tic department of the High school.

German Chancellor Says Peace
Proposals Must Come From Her
Enemies to Receive a HEARING

Berlin, Dec. Off our enemies
make peace proposals compatible
with Germany's dignity and safety,
then we shall always be ready to dis
cuss them" said Imperial Chancellor
DR.. Won .Bethmann-Hollwegg, in ad.
dressing the reichstag.
The chancellor made it clear that
in his opinion it would be folly for
Germany to propose peace, "as long
as in the countries of our enemies the
guilt and ignorance of statesmen are
entangled with confusion of public
opinion"
CONSCIOUS of her military success
ses," the chancellor said, Germany
declines the responsibility for a fur
Their continuation of the war"
Germany, he declared, could not be
charged with the purpose of fighting
on to make further conquests. "The
war can be terminated only by a
peace which will give the gertrude
that war will not return" the chan
cellor declared. 1--WE all agree about
that" He asserted Germanys food
supplies were sufficient and that her
immense stores of copper were ade-
quate for many years.
The address of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollwegg, which has been awaitd with
extraordinary interest, was made in
response to the socialist interpella-
ton: Is the imperial chancellor
ready to give information as to the
conditions under which he would be
willing to enter into peace negotia-
tions?"
In his reply he said: GAS long as
in the countries of our enemies the
guilt and ignorance of statesmen are
entangled with confusion of public
opinion, it would be folly for Germany
to make peace proposals, which would
not shorten, but would lengthen the
duration of the war. First, the masks
must be torn from their faces.
AT the present time they speak of a
war of humiliation against us. We
have taken this fact into account.
Theoretical arguments for peace or
proposals of peace will not advance
us and will not bring the end nearer.
IF our enemies will make proposals
compatible with Germany's dignity
and safety, then We shall always be
ready to discuss them. Fully con-
scious of our mistaken military sue
cesses we decline responsibilities for
the continuation of the misery which
now fills Europe and the whole world.
No one can say that we continue the
war because we still desire to con-
quer this or that country as a guaran:
tee." *
In these words the chancellor, with
impassioned force, stated the position
of the German government on the
question of peace. His remarks were
cheered with great enthusiasm.
DR.. Bethmann-H ollwegg began by
saying that III the countries at war
