CHURCHILL Is SLATED
FOR pRONTnTTON

London, Dec. Winston Spencer
Churchill, who resigned as chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster to join
Great Britain's forces in the field is
marked by the Daily Express for early
promotion to the rank of general with
the command of brigade. The paper
says he has chosen the most difficult
school in the army, for the grenadier
unit to which he is attached under
the command of Colonel Jeffreys is
noted for its indifference to personal
comfort.

Steering Clear of Europe.
John Adams remark that "all the
ing with us" was well illustrated
throughout the Napoleonic wars.
France and England dragooned every
nation in Christendom except the
United States into fighting for one
side or the other and both resented
in an ugly temper the neutrality and
prosperity of the one remaining nom
combatant.
AS in the present war. the belliger.
ents struck at one another through
the United States. Whenever the

their commerce was caught, England
and Napoleon each told them to coun-
sci the other to desist.
Finally, in 1911. Napoleon's intriguing
minister of police. Fouche. proposed to
the British. but without the authority
of his master. that the two powers
make peace and compensate themselves
By oart:tioning the United States. An
Aerican kingdom was to be carved out
for the satisfaction Of the Bourbon pre-

England were to divide the rest of
the country between them.

power. 1t chose to strike at England
only because Napoleon. his ships
swept from the sea and having no
submarines, had done the lesser harm.
The Emperor was hip deep in the
Russian quagmire when he received
the welcome news of the declaration
of war in 1912 and he summoned Joel
Barlow. the American minister in
Paris. But. as his retreat turned to dis
aster. he dreaded to have the Amer
lean see the horrid skeleton of the
Grand Army. and he sent a courier
ahead with instructions that the en-
voy be sent away. Alas, poor Barlow,
worn out with his winters journey,
and lying PROSTATE in Cracow, was
closing his eyes on all earthly fol-
lies.

States should join with Great Britain
in checkmating the Holy Alliance in
any design of subjugsting the revolt

storing them to Spain. But the Mon
roe administration politely declined to
'.implicate" the United States. 1t made
its own declaration, in its own terms,
on its own responsibility and quite
as much against the expansion Of
Great Britain in America as or amp

The Only Expedition.
Nevertheless. there is one alliance
on the record of the United States, the
only one since the Franco-American
alliance of 1878. which was before the
establishment of the nation. The ex-
ception is not writ large and is all but

Grand Forks is coming down for the
event also. This too is q splendidly
drilled organization and the two pa
trolls, will give a feeling OF prepared
ness to those attending. The ORR
ental band is under the leadership of
Noble G. p Brown, while Noble Err :
nest Wright leads the great organiza-
tion of musicians that has given FL
Zagal a most enviable reputation
among the temples all over the coun-
try.
Ladies night is going to be one of
the most attractive things that has
been presented by the local temple
of the Shrine in its history. The mat.
ter of expense has not been spared in
the least to entertain the large number
of local and visiting ladies who will be
in the city with their Shriner husbands
tomorrow and the day following.
Already there are a large number
of Shriners In the city attending the
semi i-annual reunion of the Scottish
Rite bodies and these will remain over
until the Shrine festivities. There are,
in addition, large numbers of mobiles
expected to arrive here tomorrow
night and still others will arrive dur
ing the night and on Friday for the
ceremonial Among those coming are
delegations from every Shrine temple
in the northwest including the poten-
tates, who have been given 4 special
invitation to the festivities. Duluth

and other places will be represented
by the potentates and mobiles. Some of
the imperial divan officers arc also to
be here as guests OF Ell ZagaI.

The above is the program for the
two big days that Ell zagal temple
of this city is going to pull off tomor-
row and Friday, This program, while
1T does not show all the features Of
the ceremonial session on Friday,
shows that the event is going to be
one of the greatest Shrine ceremontals
that was ever pulled off in the north
west. The things that are not shown
are those that Potentate Frank l..
Gage is keeping under his hat Ito
spring on the nobility at the meeting.
These secrets have been as closely
guarded as startling piece of infor-
nation in the hands of the state de-
partment of the nation and not the
least inkling has been heard other
than the few tips that the potentate
has chosen to mention for the purpose
of arousing the attention of the mem
bers.
Every one of the features of the
temple are going to play an important
part both at Ladies' night tomorrow
and at the ceremonial on Friday. The
Oriental band has been busy for a
long time getting ready for this event
and so has the big f1fty-piece band of
which Ell Zagal is SO Justly proud and
which proved to be the most popular
band on the pilgrimage to Seattle last
summer. The Arab patrol of the tenn
pie has been drilled in some especial
ly attractive new movements by Com
mander E. c. Gearey, and will be one
