DR., WARD EXPLAINS So
GAL UNREST OF THE age

many churches are under the control
of capital. .-... ...
Civilization has already come long
ways and has longer road ahead. But
the forward path is clear. The future
state will be a great constructive
brotherhood where people will live and
unfold their lives together.
We should highly resolve to create
an industrial management of the state,
of the people, by the people, and for
the people.
At the conclusion of the lecture DR..
Acher arose and stated that, in behalf
of the school, the students and faculty,
and of the people of the town and vi
cinity, he wished to thank Mr.. and
Mrs. Hazlett for the kindness and gen.
crosby which had enabled the city to
receive such inspirational messages
as DR.. Ward had delivered. A vote of
thanks will be sent to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hazlett at their home in California.

ITALY FULLY PREPARED TO WAGE WAR

checked today by definite announce
ment of the decision of the govern
ment to form coalition cabinet, to-
gether with better news from the east
ern front. Alo, Athens reports say
the allies occupied the Turkish posi-
ton of Kilid Bahr, on the European
side of the straits opposite Chanak.
The occupation took place after the
position had been reduced by a bonn
bardment by the fleet.
The opinion became stronger here
today that the momentous decision of
war or peace can hardly be postponed
beyond today's sitting of the Italian
parliament.
The German press, admitting that
war with Italy can hardly be prevent
ed, views the prospect calmly. The
opinion is expressed that Austria may
be compelled to make separate peace
with Russia, but that would result in
the release of more German troops for
service on the western frontier.

a bailiff appeared on the scene and
called for order that the court trying
the Equity case just across the CORR

Excitement prevailed in the supreme
court chamber at $3.50 yesterday when
a gathering of farmers sent out Geo
Smith to call in Representative Divet
of Wahpeton, who was attending the
hearing. When the representative
opened the door his face flushed
crimson and he paused, stopped and
listened, and then made several steps
further into the chamber and leaned
against the west WALL For a minute
not word was spoken.
"We are discussing the North Da
kota terminal proposition, Mr.. Divet,
said c. J. Lee of Valley City, "and
we want to know why you opposed
the bill at the last session of the leg

chairs arose and all eyes were turned
on the representative from Richland
county.

HORSES GET MORE CARE
THAN MEN ON PAYROLL

Declaring that Christianity con-
fronts modern industry with a demand
concerning its human results and
questioning the progress of a nation
that leads the world in industrial pur-
suits, but ignores the welfare of the
men and women employed in these in
dustries, DR.. Ward, developed his
theme on the subject of ''the Human
Side of Industry" for an hour this
morning during the general exercises
at the Normal school,
He quoted the situation in the pack
ing houses by way of concrete exam
pie and told how the horses were
groomed and cared for while the men
were paid wages that kept them in
wretched condition, merely because
these horses we're worth $1OO or $3.50
each while the men were worth a
days wages to the corporation, which
regarded them as so much raw ma
terial.
While the corporation owners were
philanthropic outside of the corpora
ton office and frequently gave large
sums Of money for enterprises bene-
fitting the poor communities in the
Cities in the office the pay roll was no
more than an expense sheet that must
be cut and cut, rather than raised,
without consideration of the welfare
of hundreds Of families and the dis
|tress and destruction that salary cuts
must drive them to.
We have spent much time and mon
ey, DR.. Ward said, in securing eff
cheney in industry, and now it is time
for us to secure the better welfore of
our working classes in the large indus
tries. Follow back the shoes and
clothes we wear and the metal work
in this building, the speaker said, to
where it was natural resource and
lit will take us past the lame,
halt, the miserable and the dis
! tressed, living on a wage that is less
than living. The curse of over
worked and under paid men and wo-
men, is not only the curse of civiliza-
ton, as destroyer of the physical
being, but as destroyer of the spirit
ual life of the nation. Culture and
human progress, need leisure apart
from the working day.
Minimum wage laws have come to
the rescue in such conditions as NAM
ed by the speaker, he said, but Chris
tianity will not be content with this.
Industry must not weaken the full de-
velopment of men and women, physi-
cally, mentally, morally.
More than that industry shall give
life a chance for expression. Until
these ends are realized, the program of
religion will not be met.
Dr. Ward will give the last of his
lectures in the auditorium at 8:15 this
evening developing another phase of
this mornings subject. Admission is
free and everybody is cordially invit-

DR.. Ward made his last appearance
before the Valley City public Friday
evening at the Normal. He was again
introduced by President Robertson of
Wesley college, who made the obser-
walton that original religious thinking
is still being done. He placed DR..
Ward among the class of men whose
gospel of thought is socialized Chris
tianity. The subject of the speaker
was Democracy and Industry"
Social unrest, said DR.. Ward, has
been a worldwide phenomenon for
several years. The unrest in Mexico
and China, the socialistic tendencies
in Japan and other nations have been
part of a worldwide feverishness.
Some people may ascribe it to the
work of agitators going here and
there, preaching for living. 1t is i'm
possible to repress this movement, for
democracy is it's underlying principle.
Democracy, said the speaker, means
that society shall be so organized that
every man may have his freedom.
In other words, it means brotherhood
as we'll as individualism.
Other people attribute the social un-
rest to a stirring of the stomach of
the race, a desire to be properly fed
and clothed. But man is not to be
satisfied by filling his mouth, for he
has greater spiritual craving only
to be relieved by realizing the Chris
tian religion.
During the past ten years there has
been an organized attempt to realize
industrial despotism and to repress
all attempts at labor organization.
Industry very nearly owns the local
governments in some states, declared
the speaker, and they absolutely con-
troll every function of life in some dis
tricts of Colorado and Michigan, even
employing a majority of the men in
the state militias.
Despotism is a two-edged sword
which wounds those against whom it
is directed and those who use it. Des-
potism causes tremendous waste and
corruption.
When labor comes into control of
the country, what security will there
be for anyone? DR.. Ward maintained
that the only salvation would be the
acceptance of democracy by labor.
Two teachings of Jesus were funda-
mentally important:
1. Every human life is of immortal
value.
2. One must learn to look upon his
neighbor as himself.
With these principles in mind the
future citizen must pledge himself to
work out the common good.
We cannot allow our free states and
our free church to be destroyed. Yet

For a United italy

Rome, May 20.-King Emmanuel, it
is asserted, has decided to grant a
general pardon to all railway employees
who were punished because of their
part in the strike a year ago. This
action is said to be designed as anoth-
er step to bring about a closer union
of all parties in the country. Reports
from all the universities in Italy say
the students of each will enlist in a
body if war is declared.
Dispatches from Verona say Italians
whose homes are in Austria, are pour
ing across the frontier by the thous-
ands every day because they are fear
full of reprisals in the event of hos
tilities.
French Advance at DardaneIIes
Paris, May 20.-The French troops
landed at Seddul Bahr at the south
tip of the Gallipoli peninsula, and on
the European side of the Dardanelles,
are now fighting around the Turkish
positions at Krithia, according to a
dispatch received by the Grecian news
paper Messenger D. Athens from Mu-
dros Lemnos island. This information
was received today by the Havas
agency from Athens.
The French troops are being sup
ported by the French feet which is
stationed in the bay.
The British forces which debarked
at Gaba Tepe are directing their &C.
ton toward Krithia with the object of
surrounding the Turks.
The attack on the fortified positions
at Chibaba continues.
The battlefront at the latter point
is three and one-half miles wide.

Expect Italy to Declare War

Berlin, May 2O.-No definite infor-
nation is available here regarding the
Italian situation. The outbreak of
hostilities is regarded as absolutely
certain, but whether Italy intends to
take a decisive step, and declare war
today or will postpone the ultimatum
for a few days is unknown. The
Austrian, German and Italian ambas'
sailors conferred yesterday on ar
rangements for the protection of the
German, and Austrian nationalities in
Italy at the time war is declared. 1t
is believed here that events will de-
velop with lightning-like rapidity once
hostilities begin. 1t is thought the
Italians will lay great value to a sud-
den stroke to gain an initial victory
It is certain the Austro-Germans are
not behind the Italians in their prep
arations.
London, May 20.-Austria's final
proposals were rejected unanimously
by the Italian council of ministers and
toway the two nations are step near
er to war.
The Italian parliament assemblies
today and a declaration of the govern
ment's policy is expected.
An Italian green book has been is
sued, giving a review of the negotia-
tions with Austria, which are shown
to have been started last December.
Italy's demands, which Austria failed
to satisfy, are based on the claims
that she was entitled to compensation
for Austria's advance into Serbia.
The Russian fortified line along the
River San, running across central Ga
licia, on which great reliance had been
placed to check the Austr0-German ad-
vance. has been definitely broken.
Statements of the Teutonic allies, that
they crossed the river are cOnhrmed
in an official Petrograd announcement.
Przemysl, which Russia won from
Austria after struggle of several
months, is now under attack by the
Austrian guns.
One of the greatest battles of the
campaign is apparently impending
along the San.
It is believed in London that the re-
organization of the cabinet will be
thorough. A large number of resig
nations is expected. ~

Ask italy to Mediate?

Paris, May 20.-The Gaulois today

Turin date, which mentions avery ex-
traordinary alleged development in
the Italian situation.
This message declared that Prince
Won Buelow and Baron Won Macchio,
the German and Austrian ambassa-
doris at Rome as last request to the
Italian government asked that it act
as a mediator for peace between the
central empires and the allies. This
