Defend Ordinance.

Pendleton Beckley. city attorney OF
Louisville, and Stuart Chevalier of
Louisville defended the ordinance as
necessary to preserve race integrity
and avoid race conflict They contend
ed there was no discrimination against
either race, and that the law was re-
ciprocal.
Clayton s. Blakey of Louisville and
Moorneld Storey of Boston argued that
the statute was violation OF the
equal rights privilege of the negro.
NO one outside this courtroom,
said Mr.. Storey, would imagine for
an instant that the predominant pur-
pose of this ordinance was not to pre-
vent the negro citizens of Louisville,
however Industrious. thrifty and well
educated they might be, from ap-
preaching that condition vaguely de-
scribed as social equality If one of

heard on whether cities may enact laws
separating white and negro inhab-

finding would be Of vital importance

The specific question before the court
was the Louisville. KY, ordinance
which makes it unlawful for a negro
to occupy a residence upon any block
upon which a majority of the houses
are occupied by white persons. and
makes similar provision as to a white
person occupying a house on a negro
block. A decision on the constitution

BERLIN, April 10, via Amsterdam to
London. April 1.-THE German war
minister. Gen. Adolf Wild Won Hohen-
born. has made the following state
ment in the reichstag:
Il refrain from making any extended
statement to you on the military situa-
ton. as the daily reports from head
quarters enable the nation to follow
the satisfactory development of mill
tary affairs on all the fronts. Our army
reports are phrased with military brew
ity, but. in contrast with those of our
enemies. they are always true.

This our enemies also know, though
they do not admit it. That we shall be
victorious throughout until the glori-

FIGHT FILM RUSE FAILS.
Customs Officials Decide to Seize Viii
lard-Johnson Pictures.

Customs officials practically have
reached a decision to seize the John
son-Willard fight pictures which were
made by a Photographic process at a
point on the border between the United
States and Canada. A new law sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court forbius
bringing the original films into the
country, so the promoters brought the
films to the border on the Canadian
side and made pictures of them with
cameras on the American side.
Customs officials hold that the intent
of the law cannot be defeated by such
a process.

Takes British to Task.

Never before has warfare been ex-
tended so criminally against women
and children as is now being done by
England. But the resources at our dis
posal are too vast and our will is too
strong for England to be able to make
effective her starvation plan.
The cooperation of Germans at
home in this war is a spectacle of
gigantic and historic Importance, and
the army expresses its gratitude to the
German people for it's strong minded
heroism at home. Supported by this
spirit the army will give its all in an
effort to secure peace the Importance
of which will be in proportion to our
sacrifices and safeguard US in the
future against similar assaults Until
then patience. Decisions are ripening
slowly but surely toward an inevitable
complete victory.

Not an Expiring Effort.

Speaking of the Verdun offensive, the
war minister said:
These are not. as our enemies pre-
tend to believe, the last efforts of an
exhausted nation, but the hammer
blows of strong, uncomfortable peo-
pie provided with sufficient human re-
serves and all necessary means for
backing up the hammer blows, which
will be repeat ted until our adversaries
weary. To attain our aim l have set to
work with all my skill hundred
meters of trenches have more value for
me that the finest speeches.
This war will not be terminated by
speeches about victory. but by strong
blows on the battlefields and strong
will at home to hold on to the end. The
words hold on do not adequately eN-
press the necessity for the national
will, backing up the work of our troops
and the entire conduct of the war. Only
if those at home hold on can the army
do it's utmost.

WAR" VESSELS

Washington, Sept. 5.--To the pro-
posal Of the entente allies that neu-
trails accept the principle that all
submarines are vessels Of war, the
United States will dispatch a reply
which, it is understood. holds to the
principle that the characteristics OF
each individual submersible must
govern the case.
At the same time advices to some
Of the diplomats here today an
nounced that Norway, Sweden and
Spain had forbidden their harbors to
merchant submarines on the ground
that they were indistinguishable from
war craft.
The memorandum from the allies
was sent to all neutral powers.
The reply of the United States. 1t
is officially stated, is also in the form
Of a memorandum, and is not formal
note. Copies were sent to each of the
entente allies. To the contention in
the allied memorandum that it is
difficult, If not impossible, for a war
ship to distinguish between armed
and merchant submarines. the Arnerf-
can reply. Il is understood. will point
out that is is equally difficult to dis
tinguish between sailing merchant
vessels which have masked batteries.

Fargo bids fair to realize her am
bttion of becoming the site for the
proposed Society Of Equity packing
plant, to be established by the North
Dakota Equity farmers-this city and
Mandan alone remaining in competi-
ton.
The field was narrowed at the meet

Valley City and Minot were eliminat-

cities-each Of which is represented by
a member on the packing plant COM
mittee-the issue is squarely between

committees decision.

ing yesterday were convinced, on their
departure, that Fargo was the com

ing made in The Mandan Pioneer last
evening.
The packing plant committee is
made up of c. J. Lee Valley City; An

rather heated, particularly when one
