A large congregation greeted
Dean Perisho, the President Of the
state college last Sunday evening at
the Methodist church. The speaker
during the larger part Of his lee
ture dWelt on the necessity for pre-
paredness in the arts Of peace, and
in this he had his congregation
with him to the fullest. 1t was
near the close Of his lecture only
that he referred to war and prepar-
alton for it and questioned the ad-
visibility Of America expanding
any larger amounts than heretofore
for armament or defense purposes.
He suggested that it would be
we'll for people to look into the
matter before voting further ex-
penses for var purposes. We agree
with the speaker in nearly all of
his presentation Of the matter, but
think he was a little unfair in one
point. He eulogized President
Wilson as q wise executive and
peace lover, as shown by his Mexi-
can policy and his diplomacy in the
controversy with Germany, and at
the same time intimated that the
demand for wal preparedness might
be largely the result Of agitation
from those who manufacture NUM-
tions and war supplies. Just how
President Wilson can be stumping
the country in the interest Of Pre-
paredness'' which is fostered only
by those who are to profit by war.
and yet be the great peace advocate
10 one Of the things the Dean failed
to explain.

GRAFONOLA

Practically every mechanical Improvement OF per-
nanent worth, every advance in musical value, every
extension Of the usefulness Of sound-reproducing nstru-
nents has originated with the Columbia Graphophone
Company, owners of the fundamental patents, pioneers,
leaders and creators OF the talking-machine industry.
The one Incompatible musical instrument
The Columbia Grafonola--p perfect, unapproached,
unapproachable, "The One Incompatible Musical IN
strunent IS the final expression and evidence Of
Columbia priority, prestige and leadership. It sums
up all that has been done so tar by human inventive-
ness to stimulate the sounds and harmonies of Nature,
it combines in one magnificent whole every means OF
musical expression given by art to the human race.
The question Of tone and tone-control. the technical
problems Of sound-producton are SO superbly solved in
the Columbia Grafonola that comparison can leave no
doubt Of its supreme fitness for the place of honor
among all musical Instruments.
Come to my store, hear the intrument and nudge
for yourself. We only ask comparison in quality Of
tone and finish. Compare prices if you wish.

Paul on August 8 and 9, the presi-
Dental candidate will depart from

London, July "a dispatch from

says: "Another speech by Emperor
William during his recent visit to th'
Somme front is being discussed il
Berlin" The emperor said in part
"Comrades, Your special privileg
is to fight against the English, the ma
ton which has sworn to destroy Ger
many. The English built up during
the years before the war a combina-
tion Of countries which at a given
signal fell upon us, the most peaceful
and most peace desiring people in the
world. The English led US to believe
they were our friends when actually
plotting our destruction"

SENATE HEDGES ON
MILITARY PROGRAM
COMMITTEE THAT BOOSTED FOR
PREPAREDNESS AGAINST MEX
ICO ABOUT-FACES

(James Gray in Minneapolis JournaD
Washington, D. C.-Convinced that
war with Mexico is not imminent the
senate today knocked $35, 100000 off
the items put in the measure to make
a general invasion Of the southern re-
public possible.
All of the reductions were made
upon recommendation of the military
affairs committee that few weeks
ago was boosting them at the rate Of
several million dollars a day because
of anticipated hostilities.
Other reductions to be recommend
ed, will doubtless decrease the total
by nearly $4O,0O0,O00. As originally
reported to the senate by the com
mittee, the bill totaled $3.50, ,0oO, 900,
by far the largest army bill in the
history of the nation.
Troops to Do Patrol Duty
Senator George e. Chamberlain,
chairman of the military affairs COM
mittee, told the senate it would be
possible to cut many millions of dol
lars out of the appropriations because
conditions in Mexico were no longer
considered threatening by the admin
istration.
"T am frank to say" Senator Cham
berlain explained, "that when this
bill was made up we inserted some
items in view Of the existing situa-
ton in Mexico, which might now be
cut out"
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Brady
of Idaho pitched in with demands that
the administration inform the senate
as to the details of the guards mo-
bliaztion-as to how many men were
in camps along the border, how many
in state camps, and how many had
not been called out
Military Secret, Says Senator
Senator Chamberlain said he had
the information, but that he was not
privileged to submit it to the senate
because it was military secret. Sen
ator Lodge thereupon said he would
furnish it.
Producing a copy Of the same COM
pilation of figures published in The
Minneapolis Journal Wednesday, Sen
ator Lodge said:
1OO,O08 in Camp at Border
"Here is very careful table made
up from the reports Of the different
states where the militia is. 1t appears
that there is 100,0O8 in the mobiliza-
ton camps on the border, 59,2o4 in
mobilization camps at home, and A.
1923 not called out. This table shows
what I wanted to know. put it in
as a contribution to the information
already furnished in order to have it
printed as a part of my remarks

Another Pioneer
Called By Death

Tuesday, at noon, l.. l.. Lampman,
better known as "Kid" Lampman died
at his home on East Broadway.
Although in poor health for years
and several times near deaths door,
the news was a great shock to his
many friends in and about the city.
His had been familiar figure in this
part of this state and in eastern Mon
tana since 1886. He engaged in ranch
ing, made an overland trip to Alaska
during the klondyke gold fever, ard
served two terms as sheriff of Will
liams county. Sturdy and fearless,
the spirit of "Kid' Lampman was
born of the West and typical Of it's
early traditions. During recent years
he suffered much from the malady
that finally overcame him but his ma
tural habit Of cheerfulness never de-
serted him. .'..
Linden Lorenzo Lampman was born
at Cleveland, Minn., in 1866. In 1888
he married Martha Perkins. In 1885
he came to Miles City, Mont, and in
1886 to this county later establishing
sheep ranch near Grennell.
In 1898, attracted by the gold fields
in the Klondyke, he started for Alaska
by the overland route accompanied
his wife, who, at the time, was the
only woman on the trail, Jack Smith,
Nat Ballinger, L. Booker, Julius Nell
son, Thomas Costello and a man
named Landroff. The party was gone
% months.
In 1905 Mr.. Lampman was elected
elected sheriff of this county and
reelected two years later.
The deceased leaves, besides his
wife, three brothers, Howard, of Mis-
souri, Ridge, l. d., Of Columbus, Ohio,
and Clinton l.. of Chicago, and sis
ter, Mrs. L. Abbott of Los Angeles,
Cal.
The funeral services will be held
at 2:3O Friday afternoon from the
home. .-.

NATURAL GAS FOUND NEAR
CROSBY

Crosby, N. D., July 25.-That there
is natural gas lying under the Crosby
country was demonstrated on the
farm worked by Harvey Hoover, five
miles north of Crosby. A flow of wa
ter containing natural gas was secur-
ed there. The water flows somewhat
intermittantly and bubbles like car
donated water. When a cupful of
water is taken from the we'll and a
lighted match held over it a blue
flame burns over the water for sew
eral seconds.

FINISHED THRESHING THIS
WEEK

H. E. Beamer finished threshing

been threshed last fall. Mr.. Beam
er, to be on the safe side in case a

says even though it has been in the
stack until now, that there was very
little loss and that the grain is in ex-
cellent condition.-Kenmare News.

NEGOT|ATES WITH DEN-
MARK FOR ISLANDS
DANISH PARLIAMENT EXPECT
ED TO AGREE TO SALE TO
THE UNITED STATES
Treaty Drawn up and Ready For
Ratification, Washington
Reports

Washington, July 25.-Official an
nouncement was made at the white
house today that negotiations prac-
tically had been completed for tn"
purchase Of the Danish West Indies
by the United States from Denmark
for $25,0O0,OO0.
The treaty closing the transaction
will probably be signed today, and
sent Immediately to the senate.
Immediate Possession
While details of the treaty were not
given out, it is understood the United
States would come into complete pos
session of the islands.
Word has been received from Den
mark that the treaty is practically
certain of being ratified by the Dan
ish parliament.
Chairman Stone of the senate for
eign relations committee. saw presl,,
dent Wilson today but said afterward
he had not discussed the purchase of
the Danish West Indies and knew
nothing of the question.
1t is understood the government
hopes the treaty will be ratified by
the present session of congress.
The three islands of the Danish
West Indies-St. Croix, St. Thomas
and St. John-lie due east Of Porto
Rico and their value to the United
States is from a strategic military
point Of view.
The harbors of st. Thomas and St.
Croix are of first Importance to the
American navy and St.. Thomas itself
lies in the lane of shipping from
Europe to the Panama canal. Inn
portant German, French and English
mail companies have coaling stations
there.
Project Old One
Acquisition of the islands by the
United States has been the subject Of
unsuccessful diplomatic negotiations
since the civil war.
If Denmark decides to part with is
lands there will remain to her only
two colonial possessions-Greenland
and Iceland. Denmark's huge expense
since the beginning of the war is, said
to be responsible for willingness to
sell.
