NO" IS. ANSWER
OF PEACE LEAGUE
No Peace With German
Militarism Possible Is
Its View of Proposal

New York. Aug. 20.-Although the
peace proposals of Pope Benedict
are regarded as supporting the prin-
ciple for which the League to En-
force Peace stands, the executive
committee of the league adopted a
resolution that was telegraphed to
President Wilson saying it felt that
league of nations which will
guarantee security of the world
would be made effective only by the
abolition of Prussian military auto
crazy at whatever cost. t
Although the peace proposals of
Pope Benedict support the principle
of a League of Nations to enforce
peace and in that respect are well
come" the resolution reads, the ex-
ecutive committee of the League to
Enforce Peace feels that q league of
nations which will guarantee the
future security of the world could
be made effective only by the aboli-
ton Of Prussian military autocracy
at whatever cost. Peace made with
such a government could not, as
President Wilson has clearly point
ed out, establish conditions of NUT
ual trust and security.
THE League to Enforce Peace,
therefore urges the vigorous prose-
cution of the war until Prussian
militarism is destroyed either by al
lied force or the uprising Of Ger
man democracy"

GIVES OPINION
ON GRADING ACT
Was Attacked Through
Habeas Corpus Action
By Forks Man

Bismarck, n. d., Aug. 20.-The
supreme court today handed down an
opinion upholding the constitutional
ity of the states new grain grading
act as regards all features except the
provision for charging a fee of
twenty-five per cent in excess of the
amount required to finance the oper-
atoms of the act, the surplus to be
used for creating a fund for build
ing terminal elevators.
The court held, however. that the
unconstitutionality of this feature
does not prevent fixing of fees suffi-
cient to provide funds necessary for
operation of act under which DIR. E.
]. Ladd, of Fargo, as chief inspector
is appointing corps of twenty-five
hundred deputy inspectors. one for
every elevator in North Dakota.
The act provides that every bushel
of grain or bit of other farm pro-
duce must be inspected, weighed and
graded by deputy inspectors before
1t can be purchased.
The act was attacked through
habeas corpus action brought by NJ.
c. Gaulke of Grand Forks arrested
for buying and inspecting grain
without license.
