Washington, April 11.-Three fund

essential to an adequate American
naval and military policy were out.

ventiOn of the navy league Of the
United States by it's chairman Perry
Belmont. They were creation OF a
council of national defense, abolition
of the volunteer system and issuance
of national defense bonds. ~ther
speakers made pleas for prepared

ton.
Unfair to Congress.
Mr.. Belmont contended it was un-
fair 10 congress to thrust upon it the
problem of defense without CON-
mission necessary to gather informa-
ton for legislation. the present vol
unteer system he said would inter-
fere with industry by drawing from all
trades and Gazing. He argued that
defense bonds should be issued and
so extended that no one generation
would have to bear the whole burden.

LYNN FRAZIER IN
CANDIDATES ROLE
Addressed About 400 Farmers
From Mercer, Oliver, Morton,
and Burleigh Counties.
SPEAKERS NEW IN ,,--.@. ,t,'a,s....
STATE OF NO. DAKOTA
The Meeting Wound Up the Pre-
liminary Campaign Of Non
Partisan League.

More than 400 farmers from Bur-
leigh, Mercer, Morton, Oliver and Nc
Lean counties attended the final mass
meeting at the auditorium yesterday
TO introduce Lynn j. Frazier, the Non
Partisan leagues candidate for gov
ernor. The farmers were furnished a
meeting place free by the city of Bis
marck and everything was done to
make their stay pleasant in the city.
There was only one farmer, that is
real tiller of the soil, on the plat
form last evening. That was Mr..
Frazier who appears to be sincere
and gives the impression of a man
who feels that he is called to lead the
farmers ou: of a fancied bondage.
The meeting at both the afternoon
and evening sessions was handled by
skilled platform manipulators of
strong socialistic convictions. No
parties were mentioned, but the argu'
ments were shop-worn, the kind 'sed
by any soap box orator in the large
cities.

Under the skillful manipulation Of

lister on a furlough, who is devoting
his time to organizing Oranges, r. B.

minister of strong socialistic Convic-
tons, and o. NJ. Thomason, the man
who writes the funny stuff for the
Leader. Mr.. Thomason is also an ex'
preacher. He did not divulge his
creed but said that he had also tried
his hand at law, but since has conse-
Grated himself to uplifting the far.

With the exception OF Mckaig and
Frazier, the platform managers are
recent arrivals in the state, having
been connected with the Socialist and
l. w. w. ganda in the state o.
Washington.
The meeting in Bismarck wound up
a preliminary campaign that includ'
ed Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Willis
ton, Minot, Valley City and Beach.
At each of these places meetings
similar to the one here were held.
That considerable success at Organl.
zation has been made is evident, but
the farmers are not still convinced
that they are beng served WltH So
cialistic doctrine of the worst type.
Appeal to Class Prejudice.
Not an opportunity is lost 70 appeal
to class prejudice and the platform
managers, sleek gentleman, who new

of their lives farming the farmers.
1t is probably the first time on rec
ord when a considerable number of
hard headed farmers have been in
duced to pay nine dollars for the priv
ilege of being told how to vote.

The meeting opened this afternoon
with the appearance of A. c. Town

Funston Attributes This to a De-
sire to Not Embarrass Com
manding General.

El Paso, Texas, April 1.-The pur.
suit of Villa will probably be brought
to definite conclusion within As
hours, according to information
brought here from Pavarall and Tor
reon. The messages received stated
that the report that Villa was dead
were current throughout Chihuahua
and. while it was far from being con-
firmed, it was expected definite news
would be received within the next
few days. ..
May Be in Durango.
There are only two possibilities
which are accepted here as true in
the present situatiol: Either Fran
cisco Villa is dead and his pursuit is
automatically ended; or he is far to
the south in centraf Durango. If the
latter. trixt, nTFs 2 snfisasrs rs-ssy ti'is'
the entire. plans OF campaign OF Gep
Pershing must be completely reorgan'
lied or abandoned altogether.
Carranzistas Affirm Belief.
The report of Villas death was &C,
cepted as highly probable by Gen.
Bertani, the Carranza commander at
Casas Grandes, who is now in Juarez.
There is only one doctor in the
country where Villa now is said
Gen. Bertani, "and if blood poisoning
t.,s set in in Villas wounded leg, as
my information has it, this doctor can
do nothing even if he has a chance.
Gen. Bertani said that Villa had
not more than 30 men.
Only a Few Handfu|s.
"Villa's forces consist now only OF
a few handfuls,' commented Bertanl
"who will have to be hunted down
like ordinary escaped criminals.
The Apache scouts have gone into
Mexico from Columbus, it was learn
ed here tonight. Lead by Peaches,
the captor of Geronimo, they started
south on top of motor trucks. Each
Apache wore sun goggles and wrist
watch.
Is VILLA DEAD?
The report that Francisco villa IS
dead from blood poisoning, resulting
from the wound in the fight with the
Carranza soldiers at Guerrero, was
the chief topic of discussion in Column
bus tonight There was much spec
ulation as to whether the "toX OF the
Sierras" had not endeavored to thro"
his pursuers off the trail.
Lieutenant Dargue and e. S. Gorell'
who brought the report to Columbus,
after a 33O-mile flight from San An

said that the natives of southern chi

Playing Possum.
Students here in Mexican warfare
and particularly of Villa tactics, re-
called, however. that times without
number in previous campaigns, the
bandit leader has caused himself TO
be reported wounded to mislead his
enemies.
That Gen. J. J. Pershing, expedi-
tionary commander, who today was
reported to be removing his head
quarters to Satevo, and the advanced
detachment of American soldiers were
''too busy to report" was indicated in
the lack of dispatches from the front.

Excitement in Columbus as the re-
