said President A. c. Townley at the
Mckenzie today. "And," he added, "the
league program will be carried out
e For State Ownership.
"The constitution as it stands does
not permit the state ownership of
packing plants, of -four mills and of
other utilities to which we are COM
mittcd. The league expects to see
these things through. and to do so it
will take any necessary preliminary
stops. vl
II cannot but see a great future
ahead for Bismarck and Mandan,'
said teh man who carries the burdens
of $4,000 North Dakota farmers on
his shoulders. s''you have a decided
advantage over any other cities in
the state in your nearness to the lig-
mite fields and in your waterpower.
81 hope to see the day when a great
state-owned industry will be operated
in each Of the towns of Fargo, Grand
Forks, MinOt, Bismarck and Mandan,'
said President Townley. Naturally,
we cannot build in all of these towns
at once, but with patience and Coop

ASKS OUR ASSISTANCE.

Germany in it's reply to President
Wilson's note specifically asks the as
sistance Of the neutrals in ending the
war. BY whatever name one chooses
to call this action, boiled down to its
simple terms Germany formally asks
the mediation of neutrals.
There is nothing for this nation to
do but to assist in calling confer
ence of neutral nations through which
the Allies and Central Powers can
take the preliminary steps toward a
peace commission representing the
billigerent nations.
If the neutrals can form a clearing
house for the warning countries, 1t
might be possible 10. ascertain upon
what basis peace can be consummat-
ed.
Germany's kindly treatment Of Will
sons note and the prompt co-opera-
ton of Switzerland are hopeful signs.
The Allies. however, have not spoken
yet. If they spurn Wilson's note
and refuse to enter into negotiations,
the peace dove will have to search
farther for a perch.
Germany, however, ignores Wilson's
request for peace terms. This is the
disappointing feature of the answer.
