High School Building
Unsafe, Unhealthy and
Blot on Whole City
So Declares Mother" After Trip Of Investigation
Through Structure Board of Education Proposes to
Displace With New Building All Should
Examint 1t.

"The people of Fargo probably do
not know that the members Of the
physics and chemistry classes of the
high school must pass directly through
the girls toilet to reach their class
room. At least three classes must
pass through the toilet room twice
daily.
"The people of Fargo also do not
know that entrance to the boys toilet
is partially blocked, and that they
must stoop to get in, because OF a
ventilating pipe in the ceiling.
THE main halls on the first and Sec
ond floors Of the high school are only
seven and a half feet wide. with six
or seven class rooms opening into them
They are lighted with electric lights
all day.
AT the end, crooked, rickety stairs
lead to the exits.
Il shudder to think what would
happen in the event Of a fire. One
child, falling on the stairs, would be
likely to precipitate a panic that
would mean a repetition OF the Iro-
quois disaster.
On opening the door, an odor
comes forth that Is positively sitting.
1t is impossible to overcome because
Of the poor ventilation.
Lighting facilities are abominabIe,
and It is not difnchlt to understand
why SO many Fargo high school grad
yates come forth with poor eyes.
These are. hard facts. They may
not please the citizens Of Fargo. They
are, nevertheless. facts that must be
given consideration in the handling
Of the school construction program.

Convention System to
Name Candidate For
Congressional Post

this law should repeal all sections or
parts of sections in conflict with it, but
1t does not provide for any special
way Of choosing candidates for spe-
cial elections other than the clause
stated above. This, it is contended,
leaves the portion of the old law gov
erning special elections in force. and
that nominations will be made under
the convention system.
There has not been parallel case in
this state and just how the convention
will be constituted is not yet definitely
known, but 1t will be either one Of two
ways. One, ward caucuses-the Sc
lection of candidates to county con-
vention. and the selection of district
delegates at the county convention.
The other way, the selection of district
convention delegates at ward caucus
es.
1t is probable, however, that the
county conventions will be held, as this
system is in vogue in Minnesota and
is practiced in other states where the
convention system is or was in force.
Must Capture Convention.
II the Nonpartisans wish to mix in
the issue, they must capture the party
machinery OF one Of the other parties,
just as they did in the primaries.

Candidates for congressman to fill
the vacancy caused by the death Of
Congressman H. T. Helgesen will be
named by caucus and convention, ac-
cording to the opinion Of Attorneys
Fowler & Green Of this city.
There are many who are under the
impression that there will be a pri-
mary election. while others have been
laboring under the impression that
there would be no limit to the number
OF candidates that could run on each
ticket at the special election that will
be held to choose a successor to the
late congressman.
Messrs. Fowler e Green have gone
over the proposition thoroughly and
find that section 1893 OF the compiled
laws of 1913 provide that the gov
ernor will issue q proclamation calling
IA special election to fill the vacancy.
Section $50 Of the primary laws
reads as follows:
For special elections for officers
enumerated, (among which is includ-
ed congressman. the nomination shall
be as otherwise provided by law"
Use the Old Law.

How many submarines is Germany
building?
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-04-13

Two per week Is considered the
maximum figure by numerous Eng.
lish newspapers.
According to certain information,
think 1t can be affirmed that the cor
rect figure is three times greater.
"AIl For U-5oats."
The majority of other maritime
constructions are abandoned; even
the Zeppelin factories are being neg
lected in favor OF the workshops en-
gagged In the manufacture OF these
sea sharks.
Germany's latest cry is. IAN for the
submarine fleet" its supreme hope and
thought.
sinaIe Motor Now Used.
The latest model submarine now in
service has single motor. which is
used both for surface sailing and div
ing.
This motor is silent. and thus the
submarine Is no longer betrayed by
the noise OF explosions.
The heavy and cumbersome accus
mulators with their DYNAMO are re-
placed by a lighter and smaller bat-
terry Of oxygen pipes.
Could Go Around World.
According to my informant. the
new submarines could. IL necessary.
make a trip around the world With
out renewing its supplies.
Its speed under water Is now SUI
perior to that of most of the mer-
chant vessels and is no longer in
ferior to that of rapid mail pack
cts.
It is said to be able to navigate at
a depth Of forty to fifty yards. which
permits 1t to pass under most Of the
dams and escape the vigilance or avn
ators.
Anxious to Finish War.
There is no doubt that Germany
is anxious to finish the war.
Certain military chiefs who. as late
as six months ago. spoke of a fve-
year war. today say that It should
end this summer.
The fact is that the empires eco
nomic situation threatens to become
tragic.
New Echoes Of Crisis.
Daily we get new echoes Of this
here.

see themselves compelled to take fresh
measures to ward OF the catastrophe.

A further sharp advance occurred a.

closing level. making al advance OF
practically $50 points since the publ
cation of the frost predictions at the
beginning Of the week. This seemed
sufficient to attract a great deal OF
realizing. and while late weather ad-
vices were quite as unfsvorable as an
ticipated, December contracts sold OIL
TO 26.56, closing at 1858. The gen
eral list closed steady, at a net ad-
vance Of TO 90 points.
According TO the Official detailed
weather reports. temperatures OF ~
degrees and under occurred at about
half the reporting stations in Arkansas
and Oklahoma, with frost extending
into Louisiana. Texas and Mississippi.
Al few points in Mississippi and Texas
there was freezing weather, but the cold
snap did not extend as Tar eastward
as had been expected, and the prospect
was for rising Temperatures. The
news created a strong impression
around the ring that estimates OF the
western belt crop would have to BE- re-
duced, but it was felt that later
advices would he necessary to de-
tcrmine the actual extent of the
damage. The freezing temperatures
reported were about the earliest on
record for the western belt, and their
effect is expected TO be the more un-
fo,o,abIa hecause Of the lateness of
the crop.
Exports for the day were 5OS77
bales, making 96l,054 so far this sea-
son. The more optimistic talk Of
peace prospects was probably a factor
On the opening advance. while the dis
position to even up outstanding COM
