! This is especially true when one thinks
of the many questions to be settled over
such table at this time. The Ger
mans would want pretty much all of
Europe that they have taken by force
of arms or at least practical control of
the governments that might be set up.
On the other hand, the allies would
demand the complete restoration of Bel
gum as before the war, France will not
be satisfied without Alsace Lorraine,
Italy will want part of Austria and
Russia will never be happy until she
possesses Constantinople. Serbia must be
rehabilitated and Greece gwen conces-
sions
Perhaps the most difficult question to
settle will be a recreation of the old
kingdom of Poland. This will hit both
of the contendlng parties as about
| twelve millions of Poles live in Russia
and about eight millions more half in
Germany and the rest in Austria. Ger
many might spare the Poles then selves
but will probably never be willing to
spare the territory in which they liveas
it would cut up the province OF Prussia
very badly.
| AS we. SAID the settlement of such
questions is hardly possible between
equals. We think the only solution of
such questions must come by way of the
battle field. Until one or the other of
the contending armies accomplish a de-
}cisive victory there can be no peace
which would he a real peace and even
victorius armies do not always make a
real peace.
If Germany had been willing to let
France retain Alsace Lorraine in 1870
the present war would probably have
not occurred.
| 1t looks as though peace was yet some
time away unless something happens
soon.

ing.
| When that is said we say that the
greatest man of the northwest and one
of the GREATEST men of the whole coun.
try is dead. .
Mr.. Hill began life as poor man and
died a .multi-millionaire. But in oul
opinion mere money making was but in.
cidental to his real success. More than
anything else Mr.. Hill was builder.
Forty years ago he and others saw two
parallel streaks of rust stretching south.
ward from Crookston. For part of the
distance the only train was fiat: car
propelled by a sail. Mr.. Hill knew this
northwest and believed in its future.
He dreamed q dream. In that dream he
saw himself take hold of those two
streaks of rust and walking backwards
he stretched them out longer and longer
until at last his feet were wet with the
waves of the Pacific ocean. Forty years
ago that was bu1 dream and the dream
of but one man. That dream has come
true with it how much more millions
now have prosperous homes along that
line of railroad and it's many branches
and feeders?
No one knew better than Mr.. Hill that
a railroad through wilderness must be
supported by people and to that end he
was the greatest Of immigration agents
No one knew better than he that the
people along his lines must be prosper
GUS or else the road could not be pros.
porous. These two principles made the
Great Northern more successful than
any other long line that was ever built
IN the United States.
Mr. Hill had an arbitrary disposition
but it takes that sort Of disposition to
make q success Of such undertakings.
Mr.. Hill made some mistakes because
with all his ability he was human. But
his employees loved him and he won the
respect of>all who had to d, business
with him.
Taken as whole the life Of Mr.. Hill
was devoted to the building up OF this
great northwest and few men could 20

THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE

There as been more peace talk during
the last fortnight than since the war
began and much of it comes from per-
sons in authority. The initiative came
from Germany and was first publicly
spoken in the answer to President Will
sons note.
But in the suggestion for peace Ger
many assumes though indefinitely, the
attitude of the victor, which position the
entente allies will not admit.
The claims on either side while agree
ing in most of the particulars are very
conflicting as a whole.
Germany poiats to the large amount
of territory she has overrun in Europe
and the present strength of her armies
as we'll as her reserve strength Of men,
munitions and food supplies.
The allies retort that the control of
the sea and loss of the German African
colonies is more than the territory which
Germany has gained in Europe. that
the allied armies are now stronger than
those Of the Teutons. that Germany and
Austria are suffering from lack Of food
and other things and that it b only .
question Of time whom Germany and
Austria will have to capitulate.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR

More terrific fighting at Verdun dur
ing the last days of last week. Both
sides claimed gains but nothing of de-

mix-up will finally amount to is still a

THE AUTOMOBILE
AND HIGHWAYS.

The auto is with Us and with US toI
stay. Even the horses seem to have be-|
come acquainted with and accepted it a.
fact. The farmers dog appears to be
the hardest OF the more intelligent ami
mails to learn the difference between u
horse hauled buggy and gasoline CO.!
wagon. But the second generation OF
dogs will be better, because the fool dogs,
of the present are likely to be all killed
off soon. @
Even the farmers themselves have not
only accepted the smell of gasoline as a.
permanent scent on the highway but are
helping to male their oW n share of the
aromatic aroma.
Perhaps some of these as we'll as some
other people have invested money in
autos that would have been better other
wise spent. 1t is probable that as yet
the auto Is mostly to be classed as a
luxury, but the auto is rapidly making
its own way and proving its actual
utility.
Danger increases with speed. This a
law that We cannot get over. Ii We are
going fast and stop quick, something
unpleasant is likely to happen. But
considering the rapid increase of auto
mobiles the number of accidents are less
than before. People have had the dang,
er impressed upon them so often that
now they take more care-and this is
true equally of drivers and pedestrians
AS incidental benefit, as striking
by product, the auto has had remark
able influence in the improvement of
highways Here is practical example.
A year or so ago gentleman interested
in the Midland highway was looking over
part of the road aud found badly
cared for section. He called on the
supervisors and complained. They
thought the road was not very bad. He
argued but did not convince them.
Finally he asked them to get into the
auto and take look over the highway.
They accepted his invitation Then he
gave them real auto ride. He just
opened up the machine and let her go.
They got back safely somehow, but they
never have forgotten that ride as proven
ty the fact that the road therea bout has
been IN fine condition ever since.
In the present war automobile and
motor cars have proven to he a real ad
dition to the art of war and perhaps to
be ranked equally with the aeroplane
and sub marine. Just now we are talk
ing preparedness in this country. Pre-.
pardness now necessarily includes motors
and motors include good roads. Does
the reader see the connection with the
continental automobile highways which
are now being projected in many direc-
tions? 1t means for one thing that the
general government will necessarily
have to be interested in military high.
ways, and one of the consequences of the
great war in Europe be good roads all
through the United States.
Not the least of the benefits of the
auto is the good road movement.

Memorial D8y.

Memorial Day exercises were observed
in this city as usual. The general pro-.
gram was as follows: Procession con-
sisting of public school children, boy
scouts. and veterans headed by drum
corps formed at school house and march
ed to the Pembina river bridge where
the waters were decorated with due
ceremony. The procession then march
ed to the city hall. The program was
opened by prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hard
ing of the Episcopal church. The AM
berola recited "Gettysburg Address
and the "Blue and the Gray; the Girls
High School Glee Club sang several
patriotic songs; the Rev. Mr.. Birche-
nough gave the address of the day in his
usual eloquent style. The speaker re-
ferred to the fact that while he was com
paratively a recent arrival that he was
pleased TO fraternlze with the veterans
on this patriotic day. His remarks
which followed showed the true Ameri-
can spirit and love for his adopted coun-
try.
In the afternoon the veterans and
many others repaired to the city GENE.
terry and informally but thoroughly deco
rated the graves of all veterans sleeping
there.
The only veterans now living in the
city are F. G. Myrick and F. A. Ward

The program was under the special
charge of j. Heneman president of the
commercial club and +. M. Klng who
acted as marshal. The weather during
the day was ideal.
The writer wishes to say that the
veterans are very much pleased that the
citizens have now taken the observance
of Memorial Day IN their charge as they
necessarily will have to do in the years
to come. For the first time in over thlr.
ty years the writer had nothing what
ever to do with the very successful pro.
gram except to be present.
