TRUCE Is URGED BY LEWIS

Washington-A resolution request
ing the President, unless incompatible
with the public interest, to suggest to
the warning nations of Europe that the
United States undertake mediation
was introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Lewis, of Illinois.
The resolution would authorize the
President to propose that the belliger-
ents declare a truce and that each OF
them select a neutral country as its
representative on a board of arbitra-
ton thus created. Each selected neu-
tral would name one member of the
board, over which the President or his
representative would preside as refe-
rec.
Under the plan each belligerent
would present its demands or claims
to the board, which would be author
lied to arrive at an equitable adjust
ment
The resolution recites that it is sug-
gested as an expression of the desire
for world-peace and not of favoritism
for any of the belligerents.
President Wilson told callers that
the Intervention of a neutral in behalf
of peace could rest only on mutual
understanding by the belligerents that
terms to be arranged are to conserve
the interests of all and of the world
at large, rather than those of parti-
cular nation of group of nations among
the warning Powers
Wilson did not disclose any definite
plan of action he may have formulated
in regard to peace, nor authorize a for
NAL statement of his attitude. His call
ers gained an impression, however
that the President would entertain
suggestions that he extend his good
offices to the belligerents to bring
about peace only when the conditions
he outlined were likely of fullflment.

EDICTS OF MEXICAN REGIME

Washington, May 3O-On the eve of
the receipt of General Carranza's new
note, which officials believe will re-
new the demand for withdrawal of
American troops from Mexico, and
with another conference between
American military commanders about
to begin a protest was received at the
White House today reporting oil OPP
orators at Tampico and the Mexican
authorities
The protest came In the form of a
telegram addressed to President Will
son by "a American citizens residing
at Tampico, who had held a mass
meeting and determined to lay their
case before the Government.
They declared the Mexican military
officials were promulgating DEGREES
designed to make it Impossible for
Americans to do business in the coun-
try and told how one of their number
had been arrested and imprisoned for
three hours because he refused to pay
his employees wages fixed by the au-
thorities in excess Of terms previously
agreed upon with the men.
The signers of the message asserted
their right to protection from the
American Government, and announced
their determination not to comply with
arbitrary and conflscatory orders and
DEGREES by the Mexicans.
White House officials sent the pro-
test to the State Department for in
vestigation. Other complaints already
have been received regarding the re-
cent DEGREES by the Carranza Govern
ment, and it is probable that there will
be representations on the subject just
as soon as the controversy over the
presence of American troops in Next
co is adjusted

SIR HERBERT TREE SAYS SHAKE

THE MOVIES

In the June woman's Home Com.
paion is an interesting interview with
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the great
actor and manager( now playing In

Shakespeare has proved q good
film scenario writer" he says. zone
would almost think he had prepared
the plot Of Macbeth with the screen
in mind All the wealth OF detail
even minute dlrections-demande for
the motion picture story are already
there at hand. SO we have tried Ia
produce the play as he might have
done II he had come back long enough
to direct the performance for the cam
era's eve.
This Is not presumptuous. Shakes
peare himself used every device of his
own day to make his work effective
upon the stage. Why. you know, II
was the shooting off of a real cannon
in one of his productions that set fire
to the famous Globe Theatre in Lon
don and resulted in the destruction Of
his manuscripts. Can you not see his
associates demonstrating about tn,
needless waste of realistic detail?
There is no reason to believe that
Shakespeare would not be just as alert
and eager to adopt the dramtic posi-
bilities of the motion picture il h'
were here In person"

CONVENTION
At LONE TREE
MANY INTERESTING DISCUS
SIONS OF LIVE SUNDAY
SCHOOL TOPICS.

The Sunday School institute held
by the Ward County Association Sun
day afternoon and evening at Lone
tree was very we'll attended, and was
filled with good things for every Sun
day school worker. Two hundred and
fifty people attended the two sessions.
The Rolling Green M. E., the Berthold
Brethren and Congregational, Des
Laos M. E., Lonetree Baptist, Minot
Baptist and Presbyterian Sunday
schools were represented at the insti-
tute.c The special music furnished by
the Berthold Sunday school was a
treat. 1t consisted of two choruses,
a solo and trio which were beauti-
fully given. The congregational sing
ing was an inspiration, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Barnhart. The visiting
delegations were entertained at the
Manse in the usual Lonetree style
to those who have enjoyed the hospi-
tally of the Lonetree people nothing
more need be added. 1t must have
been a pleasure to the hostesses to
know how much the guests enjoyed
the excellently prepared dinner.
The address of welcome was deliver
ed by Rev. Jas N. Start Of Lonetree,
and was full of good things. 1t was
not the usual sterotyped address of
welcome, but was an address of well
come to the opportunities offered, to
the tasks waiting to be done; to ser
vice for the Master.
The response was made by Dorr H.
Carroll, president Of the county asso-
citation.
Rev. Thos. Hiner was detained at
home by the illness of his son. His
topic, Sunday School Organization"
was taken by Rev. E. E. Barnhart of
jamestown, the superintendent of
Baptist Sunday school and Young
Peoples work in North and South Da-
kota. Mr.. Barnhart is no stranger to
Lonetree audiences, and was heartily
welcomed. First he took up the equip
ment of the Sunday school, showing
how necessary it was to have proper
equipment if the very best work was
to be done. Among the things he con-
sidered essential were adequate build
lngs, separate rooms, and a graded
course of study. He brought out the
proper organization of school; the
Elementary, Secondary, Adult, Home
Department, and cradle roll explain
ing each department. Then the ex-
ecutive part of the Sunday school was
discussed, bringing out the fact that

Many questions were asked by the

ing bits of advice from the superin-
tendent: Keep at work until you have
your first class graduated-your first
class is always the hardest one. 1t
will prove an incentive to other classes
in the same school, and no school
should be without teacher training
class. Always begin with a "First
Standard" course Of ffty-two lessons
go from the easier to the more diff
cult course. If school can not have
class during the Sunday school hour,
have it Immediately afterward. Any
one who is willing to "study and pray
can teach a teacher training class
Mrs. Kara Dickinson's topic was "The
Teen Age in Sunday School Work. "
She spoke of the dangers and prob
lens of teen age and said one of the
very best ways of helping girls and
boys was to teach them to help them
selves, and in no better way could this
be done than thru the organized class.
1t links their everyday life to their
Sunday life or in other words, it links
every day life to the biggest thing in
that life, whether they realize it or
not.
If there is inspiring music, bright
reading, good memory work, a snappy
breezy lesson, to the point, perhaps a
laugh or two, few words about what
has been done the past week, and
what's doing this week, few easiest
words to drive home the lesson, a
brief prayer that the Father may help
these girls and boys in their everyday
life through the week, that is going
to appeal to teen age. Dozens Of
things to be done by classes were
suggested-the problem is not where
to find things to do; there is such a
wealth Of material to work with, the
problem rather is to select what ap-
peals to the boys and girls. The
teacher who has a wide-awake class
may be criticised for PROSECUTING, but
can console himself by thinking Of
what Mr.. Welshimer says, "In the
majority of cases people leave other
schools not because they are proselyt-
ed, but because their schools are slow
and pokey. You can not expect to
keep horse in a lot in which there
is no grass, when over the fence lies
a rich meadow"
