Left FARGO THIS MORNING

Governor Hanna left Fargo this
morning for New York where he will
join the Ford expedition which is GO
ing to Europe in the hope Of bringing
about peace. -5
I'VE are approaching the season Of
peace on earth and good will to men,
when the civilized people naturally
turn to the quieter activities and to
the beautiful scenes or home life;
when we more acutely realize the
enormities of the terrible struggle be-
tween the nations Of Europe and more
fully sense its horrors" said Governor
Hanna here last night
"For that reason continued the
executive, 'T feel greatly interested in
the suggestions of Henry Ford of
Detroit to take some preliminary steps
toward ending the terrific strife that
is now being waged throughout Eu-
rope and am impelled to lend my per-
sonal assistance to any movement that
would have a faint bearing on the
restoration Of peace in those stricken
countries.
"The humanitarian objects of Mr..
Ford and his associates. in attempt
ing to inaugurate worldwide peace
movement, will appeal to millions of
American citizens who feel that the
European carnage has proceeded al
ready too long.
Personally, am not certain that
Mr.. Ford's movement will bring
about peace, but pne must break

the ice. Certainly none Of the nations
involved in the present titanic struggle
can be expected to take the initiative.
1t would seem to be an acknowledge
ment of weakness. but the citizens of
the United States. a cosmopolitan
country with its residents so closely
related to those engaged in the war
fare, is seems to me, can afford to take
part in a movement that might
eventually bring about an ending Of
this great loss of life."
The governor is advised that a num-
Der Of distinguished Americans will ac-l

stood the party will leave New York,
Dec. 4, go direct to The Hague, remain
there in preliminary session with
representatives of the warning coun-
tries about one week. then visit Ger
many, France, Belgium and possibly
other sections of Europe, go into the
battlefields, the hospitals. the trenches,
get in personal touch with the people
in their home lives and secure as much
general information as possible; then
return to The Hague for a conference
that may last two weeks in which
some general peace proposition may be
formulated that might receive recogni-
ton from the nations engaged in the
present strife.
Discussing his personal attitude,
Governor Hanna said: Since the
1 publication of Mr.. Ford's plans and
the announcement that an invitation
| had been extended to me to accom-
pany the delegation from this country,
I have received messages and letters
from almost every section of the state
| urging me to accept. There are many
residents of North Dakota of Germanic
descent. others OF French, Belgian.
| Russian, English and Scotch ancestry.
| Without regard to race or creed, all
! seem united in their desire that this
peace movement should be initiated
and that I should participate. Many
| of them send letters that appeal
strongly to ones heart. Some Of the

relatives on the battlefields. They feel
the situation more strongly than the
rest of us.

GOVERNOR Will
MAKE STATEMENT
ON HIS RETURN

Bismarck. N. D., Dec 1.-As he was
leaving Bismarck on his mission
abroad, Governor Hanna was asked
whether or not he would be candi-
date for the United States senatorship
at the coming June primaries and urg-
ed to make definite statement as to
his Intentions.
To this the governor replied that
there had been rumors to the effect
that he had entered into an agreement
or had made some promises that he
would not be candidate, but that
these rumors and statements were en-
tirely erroneous and wholly without
foundation. That he had not at any
time or in any way entered into any
such agreement or made any such
promise. 1888
Governor Hanna further stated that
upon his return from Europe he would
make a formal announcement OF his
lcandidacy for the senatorship and al
that time would issue statement tc
the people of the state setting forth
clearly the principles and declarations
on which he would ask their support.

Office of Policewoman
Will Not Be Abolished
New Ordinance Planned
Large Number Attended Meeting Of City Commission This
Morning to Protest-New Poicewoman Will
Probably Be Secured. 1Es

Fargo will in all probability have an
other trained policewoman to take the
place of Mrs. Irma Erwin Poppler who
was let out of service last night ac-
cording to action taken by the city
commissioners at a meeting this morn
ing. 1t is also probable that an effort
will be made to take the policewoman
from under the supervision Of the
police commissioner and the police
chief and make her an original officer
of the city with the provision that she
and the police department act In
harmony and together for the better
ment of social conditions.
A resolution was introduced by
Commissioner Robert B. Blakemore
ordering and requiring the police COM
missioner to appoint at the earliest
possible time a policewoman Of proper
qualifications and at an annual salary
of not to exceed $1,000. and instructing
the city attorney to draw up an ordin-
ance creating the office Of policewoman
and defining her duties and containing
other matters pertaining to the con-
duct Of the office, ct cetera.
