WOMAN'S IDEA. OF WAR

This is the final opinion of
war that an American woman
formed after seeing it in real
ity: It is a quotation :: from
Kings, Queens and Pawns, .: in
which Mary Roberts Rinehart
gives her first-hand impressions.
"War is not two great armies
meeting in the clash and frenzy
of battle.
"War is a boy carried on a
;stretcher, looking up at. Gods
blue sky with bewildered eyes
that are soon to close. War is
a woman carrying a child that
has been injured by shell. War
is spirited horses tied in burn
ing buildings and waiting for
death. War is the flower of a
race, battered, hungry, bleeding,
up to it's knees in filthy war.
"War is an old woman burn
ing a candle before the Mater
Dolorosa for the son she has
given for King and Country"

IS LIQUOR FIRMS QUIT;
BANK DEPOSITS GROW


The adjustment of saloons in
East Grand Forks and the con-
sequent withdrawal Of nunler-
Gus accounts, principally brew-
cry accounts, has not reduced
bank deposits Of East Grand
Forks. On the contrary depo-
sits show a healthy gain. The
total under the most recent call
of the banking department was
S128,582.16 more than the de-
posits shown by the current call
a year ago. This is considered
striking in view of the fact that

enough to pay West Virg.nias par,
of, the old State debt of Virginia.
Senator Chiffon has just discovered,
and has notified Governor Hatfield
and Attorney General Lilly, that the
statute of limitations has not begun
to run in this case and that suit may
be instituted in the Court of Claims,
regardless of whether Congress pass
ess-his bill authorizing the suit to be
brought in the Supreme Court of the
United States. It vas Senator Chill
ton who discovered That the proceeds
of the sale of the vast Northwest
Territory ceded to the general gov
eminent by Virginia were requires
by the conditions OF the cession to be
distributed among thirteen original
States. This has not been done, and
in the Senator's opinion a trust has
been violated, for which the United
States can be held accountable by the
thirteen original States or any of the
States created from them. In expla-
nation of the status OF the case, SEN
ator Chiffon said:
