TRCTTER RETURNS
G. A. Bugge, Just Back from Norway,
Says that Germany is Exporting
Fertilizer to Norway.

Carl A. Bugge Of Burlington, per-
haps the most renowned traveller in
the Northwest, returned recently from
a long sojourn in Norway, his native
land. From the fact of his residing in
Christiania, seacoast town, with
which the Germans are now doing
most of their foreign trading, rep
resentative called upon Mr.. Bugge at
his home in Burlington Sunday and
secured an interview. Mr.. Bugge men,
toned his travels abroad during the
past ten years during which time he
has made six trips to Europe, one trip
around the world and winter cruise
to South America, soon after the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal. Mr..
Bugge showed our representative a
volume of photographs giving views
taken by one of the party on this trip.
This volume is liberal education in
itself as to the customs, productions
and progress of the people of Latin
America. Mr.. Bugge also showed us
coffee, nutmegs and cocoa beans pluck
ed direct from the trees and presented
the tourists during visit to the plan
tations where they are grown. He
mentioned Buenos Ayres as being the
prettiest city he had ever visited, not
excepting the incompatible Cay
Paree," which the world has been led
to believe the most Leautiful city. The
accompanying picture shows Mr.. Bug
ge while visiting Japan on his tour
of the world.

beautiful soprano voice, sang "The
Star Spangled Banner" the audience
joining in the chorus. Harold Shaft
read Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and
Attorney Dorr H. Carroll delivered
the afternoons address. Mr. CAROLS
address was full Of statements worthy
of careful consideration. Referring
to the present conflict he said: Bear
in mind, oh people of Mnot, that it
will cost far less to win the war than
to lose this war, for every dollar that
it will cost to win the war, it will cost
ten dollars in impositions, taxes and
penalties, if we shall lose. A man in
Minot just recently predicted that we
would lose and if he is right he has
predicted death and calamity to mil
lions of Americans, he has predicted
calamity to people here in Minot,
whose fathers and whose brothers,
whose husbands and whose sons are
going to war to lay down their lives
for u.s."
Following the address, the old veter-
ans were invited to the stage and the
ten who were present responded. The
w. R. C. was represented by Mrs. c.
F. Truax and Mrs. Abbie Stenersen on
IlliS pdlC VI tilC ~ oS ealIls
The old soldiers were asked to give
talk and they responded in an in
teresting and patriotic manner.
Referring to the present war, E.
Ellison said that in all history there
was never any war to compare with
the one we are now engaged in and
that this nation hardly realized what
it all meant as yet. He said the world
looked to the United States to feed it
and that those who took part in it will
have done a patriotic service.
w. H. Mann, P. R. Taylor, Rev. H.
Mergel, w. M. Groninger, L. S. Kinney
and others gave interesting talks.
Mr.. Groninger showed that he is
especially we'll informed as to Ger
man history and recited facts to show
how the mailed fist of Germany had
grown until now it menaces the very
existence of civilization.
Attorney Mark M. Chatfield spoke
in behalf of the Sons of Veterans and
the exercises closed with the singing
of "America" and the benediction by
Rev. Jas. Anderson.

to Germany. He says that Norway is
maintaining the strictest neutrality

to Germany. He says that Norway is
maintaining the strictest neutrality
The sympathy of the Norwegian peo-
pie is decidedly pro-ally, and they re-
sent the ruthlessness of the German
methods of warfare. Merchants pass
to and fro between Germany and
Norway, and yet they learn nothing
regarding the internal conditions of
the German empire. The Norwegian
navy is kept modified and continual
ly on the watch to see that the Ger
man and ally ships keep beyond the
steamer is apprehended as she at
venture beyond the prescribed limit
liant patrol. The military strength Of
Norway is about 100000 men on a
war footing. At the present time they
have about 25 per cent Of their men
engaged in the coast patrol and as
military guards about the fortifica-
tons. He says there is absolutely no
truth in the current report that the
Germans maintain a submarine base
along the western coast of Norway.
Another fallacy which we have been
led to believe is that Germany is in
dire straits for fertilizer. The fact
that she exports certain brands of fer
tilizer to Norway would seem to refute
this report. Fertilizer in European
countries are of far greater conse-
quence than we of America can real
ize. Mr.. Bugge says that in the mat
ter of essential oils and fats there is a
scarcity in Germany, as near as he
could learn, and in certain sections
they have forbidden the manufacture
Of soaps. Cremation Of the bodies of
the dead in Germany is a common
method of disposing of them, says Mr..
Bugge, and either in peace times or in
time of war, this method is common
among the Germans, particularly
among city dwellers, as they prefer
that mode to the common practice Of
burying the dead. Mr.. Bugge predicts
two or three years of war but admits
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-05-31

the fact that contingencies may arise
which may terminate the struggle
sooner. The Germans are great as
fighting men and in organization but
they are finding out that even an Eng
lshman can Ego some" when it comes
to fighting. One fact which we re-
gard as of vital importance is that
German ships visit the ports of Nor
way, frequently four or five being seen
in port daily. These ships are en-
abled to do this because of the fact
that they keep within the three mile
limit and as consequence are free
from attack. Their cargoes consist
principally of fertilizer and electrical
machinery, the latter being in great
demand in consequence of the i'm
mense electrical developments which
are in progress thruout Norway.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
WERE SOUL STIRRING
Hundreds Honor the Memory of the
Dead-Speakers Tell Why We
Must Win War With Germany.

Appropriate Memorial exercises
were held in this city Wednesday, hun
dreds coming in from the country and
surrounding towns to participate.
The parade started at 10 o'clock, the
formation being as follows:
Major E. S. Person, Marshall, and
A. E. Whitney, Aide.
The Knights of Pythias Band.
Color Guard.
Co. D., N. D. N. G., Lieut.. Gross
= commanding.

Lincoln Camp, Sons of Veterans.
Minnetonka Campfire Girls.
Minot Normal school faculty and
students.
Model school teachers and students
City school teachers and students.
G. A. r. Members in autos.
Citizens in carriages.
At the cemetery Major Person was
master Of ceremonies and the pro-
gram consisted of the ritualistic cere-
monies of the G. A. R. for the dead,
some special music, an address by
Judge L. J. Palda and the decoration
of the graves. The invocation was
delivered by Rev. Jas. Mackenzie. Co.
D fired salute for the dead and the
bugler sounded taps.
The address Of Judge Palda was
soul stirring and especially significant
were his remarks concerning the war
in which we are now engaged. He
said: eve are at war not because we
are seeking property but because the
Gcrman-Austrian governments sought
to trespass upon the property of the
Belgians and because Germany tried
to tell US that we could not use the
high seas at our will. 1t is for this
that we are going to spend seven bill
lions of dollars and perhaps millions
of men, and so long as bigoted mon
archs overawed with their idea Of
self Importance seek to deprive men
of their life, liberty and property, so
long will battles have to be fought"
The afternoon exercises were held
at the opera house. Mrs. John Camp
bell, representing the w. R. c., pre-
sided. The invocation was made by
Rev. E. A. Deake. This was followed
by selections by the Harmony male
quartette, comprising Ed Isliefson, G.
A. Porter, F. j. Wells and Fred Cole.
The singers made their usual big hit.

His Home

Henry Panko, a farmer living twelve
miles southeast of Anamoose, shot
Charles Borchardt, single man, three
times with a revolver and the victim
lies in the Anamoose hospital in a
precarious condition. 1t is reported

attention to Panko's wife for several
years and when the man called at the
farm home, the irate husband met him
at the door and shot him. He then
placed the body on bed, later going
to Anamoose and notifying relatives.
Panko is out on $4,000 bonds.

THUS ENDS ANOTHER MEXICAN FARCE

Spokesman Review: When the Joint A,oor;o ,r;
commission signed protocol aiming the withdrawal of
the American column and adoption plan for be no;c;n
of both sides OF the boundary The Spokesman Review said
would not be surprising if Carranza rejected it.
The expected has happened Carranza informs WASHINGTON
that he will accept nothing short of immediate and
tional withdrawal OF the American forces
Thus ends another Of the many farces that have beon
ed around the Mexican problem since President Wilson made
his rremedabe bunder of taking sides with Carranza and
Villa IN his llconsldered purpose drive Huera ont of an
thority Not three years futile negotiations has
Carranza shown disposition to respond Mr. Wilson'S
ings On the contrary he has been but arbitrary ond a.
times effusively insulting
The is temperamentaly impossible He must have his
way down to the slightest detail and will concede nothing
He has worsed Mr. Wilson every point in the protraced
negotiations He began by demanding the Withdrawal o o
American forces from Vera Cruz They were withdrawn He
would have part in the B negotiations He would
acquiesce in Mr. Wilson's call conference of the var
ious leaders OF the Mexican factions wheeupon Mr. Wilson
rewarded his conumacy by recognizing his socaed govern
ment
When President Wilson proposed the Atlantic City confer
Carranza accepted only stipulation that his commits
would not consider any other phase the involved
bem until the commission had first disposed of his demand for
the withdrawal OF the American forces. 1t ended his hay
ing his way there.
After months of tedious wranging protocol was signed
by the sets of commissioners We were to withdraw
Pershngs column within 40 days leaving Carranza police
his side of the border We dropped nsence of right
pursue bandit raiders the border We Welded
everything short of precipitate retreat.
Even that will satisfy the naughty and noerant spirit
of Senior Carranza who kicks the poacted negotiations
with demand for immediate withdrawal
In this matter he will have his way he his way in all
that has gone before The troops will back and the
United States will have nothing show for its efforts
and vast financial outlay except bundle of check stubs
representing outlay Of something like $l00O00000.
All this might be borne with patience if it offered
ray of hope of ultimate beerment The Mexican situation
seemed darker than at this Our bestour only
visible hopes that the growing movement under Felix DaZ
may overthrow Carranza and set up with
degree of responsibility.

SCHOOL NOTES


The basket ball game with the Ilo-
Vollmer town team last Saturday
evening, was called before the finish
on account of the severe accident to
Dugald HOlsclaw, forward and captain.
During the first half the game was
fast and pretty evenly matched. Our
boys kept from to 6 points in the
lead. The visitors had an advantage
in weight and especially in height.
During the game our boys were handi-
capped by the inability of the center,
Briscoe, to take part in the game,
Hurley was substituted for center
and made up the loss considerably
Several fouls were called from which
Holsclaw missed only two. The pass
work of the locals was. far superior
to the opponents.
The second half of the game was
similar to the first until the accident,
of the G. II. S.
The refereeing of Glib Eimers did
much to give the game pep. The school
showed splendid spirit in the roofing
and attendance.
About four minutes before the game
closed Dugald Holsclaw stumbled or

and rendering him unconscious for
about twenty minutes. Through the
quickness and effort of Coach Cham
berlain and others he rallied some and
after DR.. Stockton had been called
he revived enough to be taken home
| in an auto. AT the last report he is
doing better than was expected. The
visiting team agreed to call the game

Dug is one of the g. II. S. stars and
| ii is largely due to his unusual basket
shooting ability and cooperation in
team work that gives the Grangeville
| boys their victories and fighting spirit.
| In the next few games his aid will be
greatly missed as no one can quite
take his place
1t Is expected that the next game
will be played on the local floor next
Friday night, Jan. u, with Clarks-
ton, who defeated our boys on their
| floor this winter and the visit here
will be the first in about seven years
| Charleston is said to have a fast team
and hard fighting will be put up by
our boys that the invasion will not
be victory for them. The locals
| will be crippled with Dugald Hols-
claw out. Gay Eimers will probably
be put in the team as the fifth member
and Briscoe, the star center, will be
back again. The best game possible
and a large crowd is expected as the
proceeds will go toward paying the
athletic debts.
The freshmen and sophomore girls
have challenged the juniors and sen
ior girls to basket ball game Thurs
day. Except the Cottonwood game
the girls have played no games.

Last Friday the juniors challenged
the seniors to Il basket ball game to

The class bells and school gongs
at the school were fixed last week
the batteries and connections have
been repaired. The electric lights in
the gym, which were broken were

of the gongs the bells were thought
| to be signaling for fire drill and be-
fore the notice could be given d good

DIR. G. G. Todd, member of the
| University of Washington's chemistry
department at Pullman, was visitor
at the school last week He was
here on business and being a friend
, of Mr.. Wadsworth, he was shown over
the building He made the statement
that what impressed him was the
quiet, business like manner of the
order and pupils which, he said
brought a school up to standard.
| The semester examinations for the
high school will be held a week from
next Thursday. At the beginning of
| the second semester course in
American literature under Mr. Bash
ore and a course in economics under
Mr.. Chamberlain will be offered. The

again been changed due to conflicting
dates. Mr.. Bashore announces the
definite date as next Monday evening

program and promises to be a sue
cess as much effort has been put on ii
