dumping him the second time in fif-
teen minutes with q double bar.
Vita was the aggressor through the
larger portion of the match, working
the toe hold repeatedly to good effect.
He was, however. unable to overcome
the handicap in weight. Ole Reiss
refereed the match.
A crowd of more than 1000 saw the
evenings bill, which gave general
sa tisfaction.
In the semi-windup, Fred Fulton,
Rochester, Mimi, heavyweight boxer,
went through q four-round training
exhibition with mis- sparring partner,
Al Palzer, putting on a nifty. but
rather slow show. Fulton said after
ward that the heavy and soft wrest-
ling mat prevented good footwork.
In the first preliminary, kid
Lesuer of Fargo dumped Young
Arnold of Fargo in three minutes with
half Nelson. The men weighed in
at 130 pounds.
The second preliminary, between
Jack Neubauer of Fargo and Harry

An Egyptian City So Long
 Forgotten, VOw Remembered

Washington, D. C., May 3O.-El Ar ish, one of the worlds forgotten places until the English bombarded it a few days ago, is the subject of a war geography bulletin, issued today by the National Geographic society from it's Washington headquarters, which says:
 With it's large square fort and bat tlemented walls Fl Arish presents a much more formidable and imposing appearance, viewed from the Medi- terranean to the north and from the Desert et-Tih to the south, than its importance has warranted in recent years. Formerly a populous halting place for the numerous caravans fol- lowing the short desert route" from Egypt to Syria, it's trade has waned materially since the completion of modern railway connections with Jaf- ia, Port Said, and Alexandria. The town clings to the banks of the Wa dai- el-Arish, a stream which becomes a small torrent after every rain. It is more than a hundred miles south west of Jerusalem and slightly shorter distance from the Suez can- al, which lies to the west.
 
 revive a host of historical associations dating as far back as the time of the Pharaohs when this town was a place of exile for political prisoners, its ancient name being Rhinokolura Its present name is supposed to be derived from the custom which ob- tained here of 'cutting off the noses of indicators whose death sentence had been cOmmuted
 Some thirty miles to the east of Fl Arlsh, on the Egyptian Syrian boundary, lies ancient Rhaphia. now called Er-Rafa, where Josephus tells us that the Roman conqueror Titus made his first stop on his march against Jerusalem. Here also Sargon overwhelmed the Egyptians in the eighth century before the Christian era, and five hundred years later there was fought on the same sands the famous battle between Ptolemy Philopator and Antiochus, when the charging elephants of both armies played such a spectacular role.

President Wilson's Achievement.
(Waterbury Democrat.

("aIerDury DemOCfaC. , Nearly all the nations of Europe have been drawn into the vortex Of war. Even several nations remote from the scene of the original con- f1ict, nations which have not been able to participate actively on the western front or the eastern front or even use their battleships in the conflict, have been drawn in, through treaties and agreements or through mistakes of statesmanship. The greatest states men of the world have realized that in these days of world upheaval there has been a danger far greater than the actual loss of life and property that is now shocking all civilized na- tions. The danger has been that the entire world, instead of half of 1t. might become involved; that inter- national law might be wiped out in a day, and that civilization itself might be uprooted, no great nation remain ing at peace to voice the protest against war-madness. In the German note of May 5, announcing the aban- donment of the submarine methods against which the United States gov- ernment protested, the following par agraph appears: "If the German gov- ernment nevertheless is resolved to go to the utmost limit of concessions, it has been guided not alone by friendship connecting the two great nations for over one hundred years, but also by the thought of the great doom which threatens the entire civi- lized world, should the cruel and sanguinary war be extended and pro- Ionged." All the belligerents, witll, their passion at white heat, never theless have recognized the part that America has played in upholdtng in- teraational law protecting the rights of neutrals and n-com batants, and confining the limits of the raging con- fict Since July, 1914, the people Of the United States have lived in peace and prosperity with the war sur rounding them, and yet with the con- scious knowledge that there has been in the White House a man who, while protecting the nations honor and up holding its dignity, nevertheless re- tained for the country its peaceful leverage upon war-ridden Europe. The conduct of President Wilson throughout the European war has won him not merely the respect ora Europe. but the commentators of the people of the United States of all shades of political opinion. There has been no rashness- nor timidity. The ship of state has been steered with deftness and sureness. The best traditions of American statesmanship have been upheld by Woodrow Will son in the most trying time in the worlds history.

PRESENTING GOVERNOR FOLK

Sometime ago the story was rife in political circles that Vice President Marshall might not be named on the same ticket this year with President Wilson, that there was a movement on foot in the Democratic party to force MT. Marshall to the background and bring to the fore some other prominent man, someone strong; enough to carry with him a raft of votes. The sequel to this story has just made it's appearance, fresh out of Washington. The name sug- gested in the place of Thomas R. Marshall is that of Joseph w. Folk, former Governor of Missouri, and prominent as the man who conducted the Interstate Commerce Commits sons investigation into the per nicious activities of the old ~"New Haven" road. a likely to be some disquietude at the Democratic national convention, whereas everything had been slated for peace and tranquility. There is no gainsaying the fact that MT. Mar shall wants re-nomination. He likes Washington, and he likes the duties that have been vested in him. He is a congenial soul, with a taste for those things that hold forth in the precincts of the national capital. Also he loves to sit serenely in his place in the Senate and direct, or watch, the activities of that sedate body of legislators. So it is but natural that he would want to re- turn to power in the event that his party is victorious at the polls. His friends. too, want this honor con- ferred upon him and they have made it known that unless MT. Marshall receives the nomination there will be trouble ahead for those who oppose him. Because two United States Senators are to be elected in In- diana this year, the native state of the Vice President, the argument is advanced that the name of Marshall will go a long way in carrying that state and the two senators With It. On the other hand, there are those who contend that Joseph w. Folk can garner more votes than Thomas R. Marshall ever knew existed.
 William Jennings Bryan is behind the movement that is bringing Cover nor Folk to the front. At least, thls is the wa11 the story runs And it may be so, for MT. Bryan and MT. Folk have ever been good friends. Before going over to the Interstate

! troduced into Syrian and Greek war fare after Alexanders conquests in India, much was expected. The battlo opened with a trumpeting dash of the opposing armoured mountains of flesh, PtoIemy's forces commanding
 seventy three of the terror-inspiring
 charges while Antiochus sent into the
 fray 1O2. With the first onslaught
 practically all of Ptolemys elephants were captured, yet he won the day.
 "EI Arish fell before Napoleon's Egyptian army in September, 1798, the credit for the city's fall being given to Frances great general, Kleber, commander of the vanguard which also seized Jaffa and Gaza. It was during this campaign that Napoleon committed the great atrocity at Jaf- <a, shooting those prisoners whom he could neither guard nor feed, yet whom he feared to release. After Napoleon's departure Kleber con- cluded convention at Fl Arish with the English admiral Sir Wm. Sidney Smith, whereby the French were to be allowed to capitulate and were to receive safe transport back to France. This agreement was revoked by Lord Keith, however. Whereupon Kleber with 10000 men marched to Helipolis and administered a crushing defeat to the Turks who outnumbered him six to one. Had not a frantic assas- sinated the great French tactician, on the day that Napoleon won the bat tie of Marengo, the fate of French arms in Egypt might have been dif1- cult.
 The Admiral Smith whose agree ment with Kleber was disalIowed was the same British officer who had caused the signal defeat of Napol- con before the walls of Acre, a relief work for which grateful parliament voted him an annuity of a thousand pounds.
 "In the center of the town of Fl Arish is a granite wall with an in- scription in hieroglyphics perpetual ing a curious legend about the Egyp- tian god Shu. A short distance beyond the walls the traveller is shown the ruins of the building in which Bald- win I, one of the Crusader kings of Jerusalem, died in HIS, after an un- successful attack on Egypt"

Commerce Commission as it's chief to the State Department in an impor- tant legal role. There it was that the friendship between the Secretary of State and the former Governor of Missouri ripened. Now if there is the least possibility of William Jen- nings Bryan causing any trouble in the ranks of the democratic party this year, the leaders might allow him to dictate terms to this effect, that he have the naming of who shall run as vice president on the ticket with Will son. In that event, Thomas R. Marshall may be asked to step down and advised to accept the opportunity he has of running for United States senator in his own state, with great chances of winning. Or, MT. Mar shall, seeings that he is not enthusias- tically wanted, may do this of his own accord, for, the sake of harmony. Thus it may be that the Democratic ticket will be changed to suit the order of things. If such is the case, there could be no better man than Joseph w. Folk named to take the place of MT. Marshall. The former Governor of Missouri is- a trained lawyer, well versed in the current events of theaday, and a man of big political timber. Because of his present position he has been some what shunted from the limelight; but that
