The ''Convict Ship" At
Orpheum, May 1917

Putting aside all the press agent
hot air stuff about the Convict Ship
feature, which comes to the Orpheum
theatre, Tuesday and Wednesday,
May 16 and II, it is safe to say that
this feature is of the highest value in
a certain educational way. Viewed
in its historical aspect the old "Suc-
cess" is intensely interesting. Most
of the people who visited the San
Francisco exposition went through
the ship which was moored in tho b"v
during the exposition period and it
tells story Of by-gone days tf21
cannot now be presented in any other
way. It gives us graphic picture of
the way in which English prisoners,
sentenced to the penal colonies, were
handled. That era has been closed
for nearly century, but this old ship,
built in 1870, reveals it all. It is a
page torn directly from history-a
page that should be read by every
one, and we can promise that all who
read the page will find it intensely in
teresting.

Work Starts Soon On
New POntOOn Bridge

Monday evening an informal meet
ing of the officers and some of the
stockholders of the Missouri Ridge
River Bridge Company met at the
office of President Calderwood to con-
fer with Captain Charlesworth, in
charge Of the u S. boat, Mandan
which had stopped here.
The captain is a riverman Of long
experience and his advise was asked
on numerous important features of
the work about to be undertaken.
Concerning the site of the Williston
bridge he said he considered it the
best any place along the river as the
landings were protected and the chan
mel narrow. He strongly advised an
overhead cable as the only practical
means of holding the bridge in place.
AS to the best manner of making a
crossing in the. old channel, south of
the island he said that piling would
probably be better than pontoons as
the tressel work would cause the shall
low channel to fill with drift and silt
deposit and become solid and per-
manent, whereas the varing stages
of water would make trouble with
pontoons.
The plans showing the manner of
construction were brought in by H.
R. Evans and carefully considered.
The company will have carpenters at
work at an early date.

.BURD|CK'S POSITION
ON STATE OWNERSHIP
B E L I Ewes IN INDEPENDENT
PLANTS THROUGH CO.OPERA-
TION, NOT POLITICS

U. L. Burdick, of Williston, in q
statement on the question of public
utilities, defines the position he takes
with respect to such issues made
prominent in the present gubernatori-
al campaign:
The Nonpartisan league has de-
clared in it's platform that it is in
favor Of state terminal elevators,
packing plants, flour mills, etc. From
this rather ambiguous statement it is
difficult to determine just what posi-
tion the league has taken in reference
to the public utilities question.
Generally speaking, I am opposed
to state of North Dakota going into
speculative business enterprises.
Should the state build packing plants
and -four mills with funds raised from
the tax payers, what assurance would
the tax payers have that (through a
political machine) in the building and
operating of such enterprises there
would be efficiency, business judg-
ment and economy exercised? Would
the more natural presumption be that
politics, rather than competency
would control not only in the building,
but in the operation Of such enter
prises? Furthermore, should one ad-
ministration honestly and faithfully
administer the affairs of such con-
Germs what assurance would there be
that the next change in administra-
tion would continue the work in the
same manner as the former admins
tration. It is more natural to assume
that a change in administration with
the bitterness Of campaigns, criticism,
honest and dishonest, would be re-
flected in every department even to
the packing plants and -four mills.
Do the people of North Dakota want
to spend their money to build up more
political machines?
l am a firm believer in packing
plants in North Dakota, in -four mills,
etc, but Just as firmly believe that
these should be built and operated on
the cooperation plan.
History shows how by cooperation
these enterprises have been successful
Denmark is the clearest example of
the cooperation plan. So are the Fruit
Growers associations OF the western
states. So is the Cooperative ex-
change in St. Paul. Laws should be
passed to encourage such co-opera-
tion enterprises-for instance not linn
it the capital stock, but the state
should not own and operate them in
its sovereign capacity, with the prob
ability of a change in management
with every chance in party or fac
tions.

GERMANY PROMISES
COMPLIANCE WITH Law
PREL UDES CONCESSION BY
LENGTHY COMPLAINT, COURSE
HINTS AT FUTURE

Berlin, May 5.-The German gov
ernment's reply to the American note
respecting submarine warfare, close
to $500 words in length, handed to
Ambassador Gerard by Gottlieb Won
Jagow, foreign secretary, plays Great
Britain against the United States in
a long review and argument, concern
ing. submarine warfare and inter-
ference with neutral shipping; plays
up Great Britain's attempt to starvs
many millions of German women and
children; asks why the United States
does not show as much concern about
these defenseless women and children
as it does about the rights Of neutrslD
on high seas; asserts that Great
Brithain fatty refused to obey the-
regulations of international law; re-,
fers to the supplying Of allies withN
munitions from America, and asserts,
therefore, that the appeal Of the UNI
ted States to sentiments Of humanity
and principles of International law
cannot meet the same hearty response
from the German people which such
an appeal otherwise always is certain
to find here. It then concludes in
part, as follows:
"The German government notifies
the United States that German naval
forces have received the following or
der:
"'1n accordance with the general
principles of visit and search and the.
destruction of merchant vessels, rec
ognized by international law, such
vessels both within and without the
area declared naval war zone, shall
not be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives, unless
the ship attempts to escape or offer
resistance"
Berlin, May s, (by wireless via
Sayville)-Following is the text Of
the note of the German government
in reply to the American note re-,
specting submarine warfare, deliver
ed on Tuesday by Gottlieb Won Jagow,
the foreign secretary, to Ambassador
Gerard:
1.-THE undersigned, on behalf of the
Imperial German government, has the
honor to present to His Excellency
the Ambassador of the United States,
Mr.. James w. Gerard, the following
reply to the note of April 20 regard.
ing the conduct of German submarine
warfare:
"The German government handed
over to the proper naval authorities
for early investigation the evidence
concerning the Sussex as communi-
Gated by the government of the Uni
ted States, judging by results that
the investigation has hitherto yield
ed to, the German government is alive
to the possibility that the ship men,
toned in the note of April 10 as hav-
ing been torpedoed by a German sub
marine is actually identical with the
Sussex.
"The German government begs to-
reserve further communication on the
matter until certain points are ascer-
tained, which are Of decisive impor-
tance for establishing the facts of the
case. Should it turn out that the
commandant was wrong in assuming
the vessel to be man-of-war, the
German government will not fail to
draw consequence resulting there
from.
"In connection with the case of the
Sussex the government of the United
States made a series of statements,
the gist of which is the assertion that
