Efforts are being made this after
noon to arrange a meeting in honor of

Whether Mr.. Boerresen who also is
affiliated with the new banking insti-
tuition in New York, will come to
Grand Forks is not definitely known.
But it was assumed today that he
might have decided to accompany Mr..
Bachke here, inasmuch as the two
bankers have travelled together since
they left New York a few days ago.
While in Chicago their trip was in
terrupted by a message from the
Scandinavian Trust company necessi-
tating their immediate return to New
York for the purpose of ~effecting an

hours, they again left for Chicago and
other points in the middle west.

language, its spiritual ties with France were
severed at the Revolution; and the plight of
France, which moves Englsh-speaking Canada

strongly denied both in and out OF Parlia-
ment.
Although it is known that the control OF
public opinion in Quebec is regarded by the
clergy as their special prerogative, clerical
influence, it would seem, was never enlisted
in the right way; and, if current rumor be
true, it has maintained a somewhat indifferent
neutrality toward even the supreme issues Of
the war.
Again, the spell and glamour of the con-
fict have dissolved before a cold traditional
prepossession Of the French mind against the
British imperieist temper and an incisive
penetration Of its less defensble intentions.
A strain, too, OF legalism, brought TO bear
upon the extreme transatlantic feeling Of de-
tachment from Europe, goes TO confirm
French opinion in the practice of isolation,
and leads it TO oppose the action OF the state
in entering the struggle with a meticulous
constitutional criticism.
Morally, then, French Canada has respond
ed to the war appeal by decree of nullifca-

has to be admitted that French Canada has at

follows:
"Mr. Merriman described as devils work

he considered the danger in fomenting arti-

asked the House, in the form of motion, to

"The Nationalist member, Mr.. de WAL,
