QUAIL BECOMING QUITE

Milton, N. D., May 10-There has
been frequent rumors of" quail along
the foot of the mountain northeast of
Milton, but we had some doubts about
the matter until Hans O. Skrogstad
told of quail accidentally killed
among flock of ten or twelve. The
bird in question was of the genuine
quail specie, and residents of that
section of the county say that quail is
becoming quite plentiful in that locali-
ty. Cavalier county has always been

DR.. Acher said that the old theory

Philadelphia, Pa, May 10.-Presi-
dent Wilson to a gathering of 1000 ma
turalized Americans in an audience of
$4,000 tonight gave the first intima-
tion of what course the United States
will pursue in the situation resulting
from the loss of over 100 American
lives on the Lusitania. He spoke by
implication, but his hearers interpret
ed his remarks that while the United
States would remain at peace he
would seek to convince Germany of the
injustice to mankind of the tragedy Of
last Friday.
America" he said, must have the
consciousness that on all sides it
touches elbowss and touches heart
with all the nations of mankind. The
example of America must be the spec
ial example and must be the example
not merely of peace, because it will
not fight, but because peace is heal
ing and elevating influence of the
world, and strife is not.
''There is such thing as being too
proud to fight. There is such thing
as being so right that it does not need
to convince others by force that it is
right" The remarks precipitated tu-
multi of applause and patriotic enthus-
Iiasm. The president made no direct
reference to the Lusitania tragedy but
the audience, without hesitation read
the application of his statement. He
was introduced by Mayor Blankenburg
who spoke with distinctly German &C
cent. The president carried forward
his idea of welding of foreign blood
in the makeup of America by point
ing out the true goal of right Ameri-
can citizenship to be loyalty not to the
country of ones birth but to the land
(of ones adoption. saa... .. .,.
while you bring" he said, "all
countries with you, you come with the
purpose Of leaving all other countries
behind and bringing what is best of
their spirit but not looking over your
shoulder or seeking to perpetuate what
you leave in them. 1t is one thing to
love place where you were born and
another to dedicate yourself to the
place where you go. You can't be
American if you think of yourself in
groups" l. -rsa ss,. .-
The president constantly was inter-
rupted by spontaneous outbursts of ap-
plause. He spoke clearly and so quiet
was the audience of $4,000 that he
lcould be heard distinctly in all parts
of the great hall. He was given a ire
mendous. ovation as he finished his
speech. He returned to his private car
and is due to arrive in Washington
early tomorrow.

German ambassador, called upon the
state department and expressed to
Bryan his deep regret that the events

American lives"
The ambassador did not comment
upon his visit, but Bryan said only
that he understood the expression of

from Berlin announced the foreign Of

expressing deepest sympathy for the

Germany" He believed this note was
in response to Ambassador Gerard's
request for a statement of Germany's
attitude: Although no comment is
made it is known the statement of the
German position is just what has been
looked for in official circles.
There was considerable discussion
in official circles over the attitude TAX

United States were warned by Ger
many against going to- Europe on bel
ligerent ships. In this connection it is
pointed out by government officials
that no official warning, such as was
given in newspaper advertisement
inserted by the German embassy, ever
was given. Secretary Bryan said the
German government never had called
the departments attention to the
warning advertisement. "
Fear that the fate of the Lusitania
might be shared by her sister ships

Clearing Up The Situation

The.recent bond election, though a failure appar
entlv seems IN reality to have paved the way for
great success il this necessary work The people Of
lee county have rejected the proposal TO issue bonds
to the amount Of $25 0O0 but there every reason to
believe that they have rejected this issue Of bonds IN
order that they may vote for greater issue q Oonas
instead
This larger issue Of bonds is undoubtedly what IS
undoubtedly what is needed The people Of the coun
~ deserve praise rather than condemnation, if this IS
the purpose they have in mind. For the larger bond
issue is undoubtedly the wiser plan. Noonly should
the roads and bridges be cared for but also the con-
stnction Of new court house. The issuance Of 500
600 or $75 900 worth Of bonds will provide for boht the
road and bridge Improvements and the new court
house
Whv cannotthe people Of Lee county settle this
matter and settle it soon? The larger bond issue
seems to meet with general approval Popular opin-
ion n regard to this matter is to be highly commend
ed It's certainly better to provide now for both the
road and bridge improvements and the new court
house rather than provide for one now only to be com
PEELED later to adjust the other matter.
So It seems that matters should not be delayed
Much interest concerning the need OF bonds has been
aroused bv recent discussion. The aid OF this enyen-
ed public sentiment should be enlistened, consequent
" the sooner a second bond election can be called
then the better Let the second election be called soon
as possible Then let every citizen realize that bond IS
sues are oftener defeated by indifference than any
other means Therefore, the need Of every citizen
coming out to vote is imperative. Let every voter
rally to this cause.
