FRENCH MINISTER RESIGNS
Delcasse Suffers Nervous Breakdown
from Observation-Disclosures to Take
His Place in Cabinet.

Paris, Oct. 14-=The resignation OF
Theophile Delcasse, the foreign min
lister of France, was announced al
noon today after the cabinet ministers
had held a meeting under the presi-
dency of M. Poincaire. Premier Vivi-
ami presented the resignation of M.
Delcasse at the conference and his re-
tirement was sanctioned An official
announcement issued in connection
with the change in the ministry stat
ed that Premier Rene Viviani will
take the portfolio of foreign affairs
with the presidency of the council
Foreign Minister De1casse's resigna-
ton aroused widespread comment in
diplomatic and parliamentary quar-
tiers in France, owing to the promi-
nent part he has taken in shaping the
foreign policy of the government since
the first months of the war, when he
resumed his old place at the head of
the foreign office. His retirement at
this particular moment when the Bal
kan crisis has become acute caused
surprise.
One reason assigned for the retire
ment of the foreign minister is that
he is suffering greatly from fatigue,
eliminating in recent sick spell and
amounting to nervous exhaustion,
which has resulted from the burden
OF anxieties in directing Frances for
eign policy.

Pushino American Dyestuffs.

DR.. Thomas H. Norton, the federal
dye expert and head of the dyestuff
bureau established by the department
of commerce, recently went to New
York to begin accelerating the devel-
opment of the dyestuffs industry of
the. United States. AS his first step,
he conferred with twelve manufacture
ing chemists representing an aggre-
gate capital of SIS, 100000.
Doctor Norton believes America is
on the eve of a great development in
the making of dyes, and he has ven
tured the opinion that when the war is
ended the United States will be in a
position to supply all of Europe with
dyes as good as Germany has been
manufacturing.

Russians Not in Yet
So far as is known, the Russian
army which the French premier, NJ.
Viviani, announced was to fight shout
der to shoulder in the Balkans with
the French and British, has not yet
entered the arena nor is it's point of
attack indicated in any way
The situation in both Greece and
Rumania remains unchanged, both
these countries maintaining their neu-
trality.
The Russians are credited with an
other victory along the Stripa on the
Southeastern Galicia front, and al
though this fighting is not far distant
from the northern Rumanian frontier
and indicates that the Russians have
brought UP strong forces here, there
is nothing to show that it is in any
way connected with the struggle in
the Balkans or has to do with Ru-
mania.

ing some of the trenches which had
been badly shattered by the shells.

statement issued tonight, were re.

DECLINE on THE MENACE

DECLINE OF THE MENACE
One of the most remarkable newspa-
per growths in the history of this re-
public has been the growth of The
Menace, leader of the anti-Catholic
propaganda during the past few
years. This little paper reached
national circulation of something
over 100000 within very few years
and undoubtedly welded a powerful
political influence in numerous states.
In the issue of Sept. 25, just come
to hand, there is an earnest appeal
for more subscribers, in which the
statement is made that: Eve haven't
shown a subscription gain since last
April-nearly five months"
On looking at the circulation state
ment in this issue l find that SOB
subscriptions expired during the week
and only 1927 new ones were re-
ceived, and that the circulation re-
port was 1,378,772.
During a recent conversation with
Fred Warren, former editor OF The
Appeal to Reason, he said that The
Menace would have to get 10000 new
subscriptions a week to hold its big
circulation, as they came in at that
rate during the rush.
Those who have studied the period
ical anti-Cathoic waves in this coun-
Observation-Disclosures, A. P. A.ism,
etc, expected this. The movement
springs up about once in 20 years,
runs its course, has a great vogue
and then dies down again for an
other twenty years.

lie movement in the early seventies,
but grown man when we went
through the A. P. A movement in the
early nineties. l studied the latter
movement, and then read what
could find about similar movements
which had preceded it. So 1 began
looking for its revival about four
years ago, and have watched its
growth and gradual decline since.
Being neutral on churches and creeds
l could watch it without prejudice, ex-
cept such prejudice as might be
found in one who believes in the
American constitution and its guar
antee of religious liberty and freedom
of conscience.
Lagree with Fred Warren as to the
effect of such attacks on the Cath
ole church, because believe that any
church will thrive on such attacks
If a nationwide propaganda were
worked up against the Methodist,
Baptist or any other Protestant
church 1 believe that church would
grow in strength under the attack.
1 haven't been to church in many
years, but was raised as boy in the
Methodist church, and l believe that
would resent attacks on the church
of my parents and the church of my
childhood, even though l don't be-
long to it now and don't expect ever
to belong to it or any other church.

CUSTER SCHOOL
Building Condemned by Deputy State
Building nspector-Unsate for
Further Occupancy.

w. NJ. Cox, deputy state building in
spector and Mr. H. +. Waldron, an
architect from Rapid City, were in town
on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week and made very thorough in
spection of the school building. They
made a verbal report to the Board OF
Education on Thursday afternoon and
notified them that the building would
be condemned and that it was unsafe
for further occupancy.
The details of their report are that the
entire construction is very loose, the
studding on the second floor are only
2x4, and the brick walls are not tied to
the framework and the roof Is not
properly tied to the walls The board
was informed that the building does not
comply with the requirements Of the
laws in hardly any respects either as to
construction, sanitary or ventilating con-
ditions.
Under the circumstances the Board
directed Professor Hines to dismiss
school on Thursday afternoon and in
struct the children not to return until
they could be advised as to which build
ings would be occupied by the respec-
tive grades
