OUR POSITION IS
STILL NEUTRAL
TREATMENT OF UNDERSEA WAR
CRAFT DEFINED BY sEcRE.
TARY OF STATE LANSING
GERMANY WELL WITHIN HER SEA RIGHTS
Allied Powers Have No Right to Ask
This Nation to Discriminate
Against Submarines

Submarine attacks on merchant
ships off our coast have lent interest
to the memorandums exchanged be-
tween the allied governments and that
of the United States in August, but
only made public last week, regarding
the treatment of undersea vessels by
Allies, which was sent to all neutral
governments, expressed the opinion
that b~elligerent submarine vessels,
whatever the purpose to which they
are put, should be excluded from the
benefit of the rules hitherto recognized
by the law Of nations regarding the
admission of vessels of war or mer-
chant vessels into neutral waters, road
steads or ports and their s~ojourn there
in. This suggestion was based in part
upon the considerations that such ves-
sells a escape all control and obser-
walton, and that it is impossible to
identify them and establish their ma
tional character, whether neutral or
belligerent, combatant or non-combat-
ant. and to remove the capacity for
harm inherent in their nature. The
grave danger incurred by neutral sub
marines in the navigation of regions
frequented by belligerent undersea ves-
sells. The United States did not &C.
cede to these views. In a memoran-
dunn in reply, Secretary Lansing said
that his government was not at the
time aware of any circumstances con
corning theuse of war or merchant
submarines which would render the
existing rules of international law in
applicable to them. He notified the
allied governments that so far as the
treatment of either war or merchant
submarines in American waters was
concerned, the government Of the
United States reserved it's liberty of
action in all respects. He further said
that the government of the United
States held it to be the duty Of bellig1
erent powers to distinguish between
submarines of neutral and belliger-
ent nationality, and that responsibility
for any conflict that might arise be-
tween b~elligerent warships and neutral
submarines on account Of the neglect
of a belligerent to distinguish between
the two classes Of submarines must
rest entirely upon the negligent power.

OUR EDUCATION
THIS Is THEME OF THE SOUTH

ISOLATION CONVENTION
WATERFOWL WILL Be HOST THIS YEAR
Convention Will be Held Last Week Of
November-Many Good Speakers
On Program

The th~irty-fourth annual session Of
the South Dakota Educational Associa-
ton will be held at WATERFOWL on No
vember 81, %, and 20. All round table
of the opening date. With the excel
lent train connections Sunday night
and Monday morning, it will make it
possible for all who desire to be On
hand in time for the round table SEES
sions $3.50 Monday morning.
The main speakers for the general
program are Congressman S. ID. Fess,
of Ohio, and DR.. G. d. Strayer, Of
Columbia University. Congressman
ern audience. DR.. Strayer. of ColuIn-
bia University, will readily establish
himself when it is known he was form
erly a team-mate of DR.. Suzzallo, WHO
made such a strong impression upon
the teachers Of South Dakota, at the
Aberdeen meeting. The artist for the
occasion will be David Bispham, the
famous baritone s~oloist, of New York
City.
An interesting feature of the pro-
gram will be an all South Dakota hour,
in which speakers, representing the
various interests of the state, will dis
cuss Education from that particular
standpoint. Mrs. w. G.. Bickelhaupt,
of Aberdeen, will represent the home.
Mr.. w. II. Ronald, editor of the Nit
chell Republican, will speak for the
press, Rev. Kearns, Of WATERFOWL, for
the church, DR.. w. Franklin Jones, of
Vermillion, for the schools, and Gov
ernor Byrne for the state.
Prospects are for an enrolment of
$500 and it will not be at all sur
prising if it should surpass this mark.
Already there is assurance from five
counties of 1000 enrolment, with
some cases where these counties have
already turned in that enrolment with
a check accompanying. Walworth
county distinguished itself last sum
mer by being the first one to launch
the boom for a greater South Dakota
Educational Association for 1916, and
we all remember Hughes, Grant, and
Miner counties from their great work
of last year. In addition to this, sew
eral cities have indicated that they
plan to send 1000 of their enrolment.
We want the $500 teachers of South
Dakota to be a boosters committee"
working for a greater enrolment of
our South Dakota Educational Associa-
ton and a greater development of the
educational interests Of the state.
The headquarters of the association
will be at the Lincoln Hotel.

FACULTY CONCERT SUNDAY

A large audience filled the State Col
lege auditorium Sunday afternoon to
hear the first of the seasons concerts.
In speaking of this important event
the State College paper, the In
dustrial Collegian, says: Every
number deserves special mention
for the delightful Interpretation
and artistic finish which each
performer gave. Miss Ida E.
Trimble, contralto, opened the pro-
gram with an aria which she sang with
a warmth of feeling and faultless tone
production. Miss Trimble, much to the
delight of the audience, appeared
again on the program in a group OF
songs which were so varying in style
as to show to good advantage the YER
sitility of her rich. ~resonate voice.
Miss Sylvia c. Clisby further added to
the interest of this group of songs by
her original cello o~bligatos. Miss CHS
by's group of cello solos were charm
ing and showed the beauty OF tone and
finished technique in which she ex-
cells. Miss Clisby's piano number, the
Ballade by Chopin, was a very diff
cult number played with an unusual
ease and c%learness. 1t is rare fortune
indeed for a college to secure the SER
vices Of a musician who excels in two
branches of the art.
The Moszkowski Spanish Caprice
played by Miss Burrows proved to be
a very delightful number because of
it's brilliance and unusual rhythm.
Miss Burrows met it's difficult techni-
cal requirements with ease, displaying
in its Interpretation as well as in her
Accomplishments, an unusual sense Of
the beautiful.
The ovation which the older mem

NAMES ON MAI BOXES

1t has been suggested that it would
be of some advantage in the way of
advertising If farmers would have
their names on their mail boxes. In
driving past a nice farm home many
people would be pleased to know who
lives there and the name on the Nail
box would tell the tale, or a sign board
at the gate would serve the same pur.
pose. This would not cost much and
would be a good ad for every farmer.

TOWN BOYS GIVEN HIKE

Its the biggest afternoon we ever
spent" was the general sentiment ex-
pressed by sixty boys, representing
the Fifth and Sixth grades, as they
tramped into Brookings Saturday
night after spending the afternoon on
a hike to the river.
At lis sharp the boys met at the
school house, where they were as.
sembled into regular company forma-
ton and given their rations, which
were tied up in small paper sacks.
When all were gathered a census was
taken and it was found that sixty
youngsters had responded to the invi.
tation issued by the Y. M. C. A. The
company was divided into four
groupes and two men placed at the
head of each. In true military style,
the company marched out of the city
and proceeded west to the river, where
they were entertained with games and
stunts.
After eating their luncheon on the
banks Of the Sioux, the "fall-in" order
was given and the march homeward
begun. About $3.50, tired and dusty,
the boys reached home, but before
they dispersed, they enthusiastically
requested the Y. M. G. A. fellows to
treat them to another hike in the near
future.
When complimented for the great
work being done along this line, MI.
Phillips replied, "Our aim n 10 give
the boys a high ideal. II we can but
accomplish this. we have done much."

FUNERAL OF MR.. NESS

The funeral of Lars E. Ness, whose
death was announced in the last issue
of the Register, was held Monday at
Toronto.
Deceased was about 50 years of age
at the time of death. He was born in
Norway and came to America in 1869,
settling at Caporn, H., where he re-
NAMED about a year. The mex year
he moved to Buffalo county, Wis,
where he took a homestead and in
1874 was married to Miss Anna
Stevens. To this union eleven chill
dren were born all of whom survive
him except one daughter who passed
away last summer.
He and family came to South Da-
kota in 1894 and have made this state
their home ever since. He resided on
the farm IA miles north of here since
1898.
Six years ago he went to Alberta,
Canada, where he helped three of his
sons to locate on land in that province
and where they still reside. All of
the children were home for the fu-
neral except Edward and Steve, Of
Alberta.
Besides his wife and children, he
leaves an aged mother, a brother and
two sisters in Norway, and two broth
ers at Hayfeld, Mimi, and n broth
er in the northern part of Minnesota.

busy. If he is satisfied that the local
democrats are satisfied and he is in
accord with them, the chances are
that he will recommend Mr.. Swift as
oon as congress opens in December
and the appointment may soon follow.
If he is not satisfied and there should
happen to develop any local fight on
Mr.. Swift then W. may reasonably
look for a big fight over the local poll

SWIFT WON OUT

At the democratic election for local
postmaster held here Saturday A. E.
Swift won out. Only democrats in
the city and along the rural mail
routes out of here were permitted to
vote, and these had to be registered in
the last spring primaries.
The contest was a hot n and
autos were in use most of the day
hauling voters favorable to the sew
eral candidates. There were 126 votes
cast, of which Swift got SO, Holiday
Is, Harte IS, Kabrud % and Fridley
81.
This settles the contest IS far as the
local democrats are concerned. 1t is

WITH RIFLE TEAM

While returning from a trip west of
the river last Friday DR.. Hyde met
Joe Murphy and Prof. Derr, former
residents Of this city, on the train COM

way south with ten other Pierre gen.
tlemen who are members Of the team.

STATE COIXGE
LOST TO BADGERS
MADE BETTER SHOWING AGAINST
WIsCoNslN's BIG TEAM THAN
AGAINST GoPHERs
CRIPPLED MEN WEAKENED STATES TEAM
Skinner Was Out of Game and Others
Were in Poor Shape-State Scor-
ed In Fourth Quarter

State College, considering condi-
tons of the players and the strong
team opposing, played a good game at
Madison, Wis, last Saturday. The
boys expected to be defeated. Skinner
was unable to play On account of the
terrible milling he received at Mime
apolis the week previous, and other
players had hardly recovered. The
Badgers were strong. They are con
sidered one of the best western teams
and are under the direction of a coach
who has few equals. Some of their
men, especially Berg, Simpson and Oh
son, are playing better than the old
stars of years gone by when Wiscon-
sin was one of the best teams on the
continent. Under these circumstances
State College made a wonderful show
ing the surprise being that they even
scored.
Berg's line plunging and Simpsons
open field running were the features,
Berg getting one touchdown and Simp-
son there. Wilmington, Wisconsin
coach, apparently has a find in Berg,
who is hitting the line harder than
any man Wisconsin has had for sevel al
years. Captain Meyers of the Badgers
put up a whirlwind game at left dur
ing the first half.
Dunn Kicks Field Goal
Dunn, at quarter for South Dakota,
was the one man hat stood out above
his teammates. His punts went long
and in the last quarter after Dakota
had recovered a Wisconsin tumble, he
dropped a goal from the 20-yard line
for South Dakota's only score.
