BALFOUR SPEAKS
In u. s.. SENATE
Hopes Free People Will Get
In Council After the
War.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 8.-Introducing
Mr.. Balfour in the senate today Vice
president Marshall expressed the hope
that when the war was ended the free
peoples of the earth would sit down
at the council table and not rise again
until they had written on the firma-
mont the legend, 81 shine only for the
wise and they are not wise who are
not just"
Mr.. Balfour declared Germany
bIundered when she thought England
and America were afraid to enter the
war, and estimated the effect as neg
ligible if they did.
THAT will be the wrecking Of all
their hope" said he. That is the
blunder that will save civilization"
81 speak with confidence about the
issues" Mr.. Balfour continued. "A con-
fidence redoubled since you have
thrown in your lot"
Senators La Toilette and Gronna
who voted against the war resolution
and who had refrained from applause
before that statement, applauded 1t
mildly.

amusing features. the reader showing
herself equally at home in comedy and

Shakespeare's King Henry the Eighth,
that of the court where Queen Gather

The queens denunciation of Cardinal
Wolsey was particularly spirited, and
the climax of her closing outburst,
when she defies the court, was depicted
with eloquence. The impersonations OF
minor characters did much to visualize
the setting OF the scene.
Miss Clapp. who Is the daughter of

DOCTRINE FAILS
TO GET APPROVAL
OF SOUThERNERS
Not Willing to Be Consider
ed Wards of the United
States. Grevstad SAYS

Nicolay Grevstad, formerly United
States minister to Uruguay and Para
quay, spoke last evening at Concordia
college, Moorhead. He said that the
people of South America are opposed
to the Monroe doctrine, as they think
1t makes them wards of the United
States They all consider Mexico the
outpost for danger from the north.
Their opinion is strongly against In
tervention in Mexico, but they believe
the United States should go and punish
the Mexicans If they have a grievance
against thcm.
In order to build up business in
South America, it will be necessary to
readjust our business methods, and use
more care, especially in packing goods.
He thought German immigration to
these countries after the war would
make 1t still more difficult to hold our
Mace with them commercially.

Recruiting System.
Recruiting for the regiments and the
organization of each force will be
directly under the colonel OF each
regiment. Recruiting machinery OF
the regular service or the national
guard will be placed at their service
and 1t is hoped the enrolment OF the
troops will take little time. The re-
cruiting points will be New York, Chi
cago. st. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh,
Detroit. Atlanta, San Francisco and
Philadelphia.
Officials believe the great railroad
brotherhoods will cooperate throwing
the strength of the unions behind the
recruiting efforts. The railway COM
panies already are so organized under
the council of national defense that
corporation is assured. The engineers
3
themselves will be selected in such
manner as not to cripple the operating
force of any company.
The decision to send the engineers
is understood to have grown out Of
conferences here between government
officials and members OF the British
and French war missions. One of the
great problems of the war has been
that Of maintaining adequate supply
lines and the railroads are the vital
element of the system that feeds men,
shells and food toward the fighting
front from channel ports and from
France.
Moved a Railroad.
Engineering feats of spectacular ma
ture have been accomplished In per-
fecting these communication lines A
whole British railroad was picked up
bodily, rolling stock, road-bed and all
and taken to France. American
engineers had much to do with that.

There is just as much difference between
TheEncyclopaediaB Britannica printed on old

Mica, Handy Volume" Issue, printed on
genuine India paper, as there is between the
stage coach of 1897 and the Philadelphia

carriage, travelling eight miles an hour, and
the modern motor, travelling so miles an
hour; between the sailing vessel and the
ocean steamship.
If you want the oId-fashioned stage coach-horse
and carrage-Sailng vessel kind of an Encyclo-
paeda Britannica you need not be in any hurry to
buy now. You can get the heavy, bulky thick
paper Britannica at any time.
But If YOU want the modern Handy
Volume" Encyclopedias Britannica, printed on
genuine India paper, you must order at once.
The sets of the "Handy Volume" Britannica,
printed on genuine India paper, now in stock are
all that we can get These are going at the rate
of more than 1000 sets week. The end of this
sale is almost here. When the last set is sold no
one will be able to buy the Britannica in this, its
thunderstorm, atany price. Nomore can be printed
We cannot get another set from the publishers, be-
cause they positively cannot get any more OF the
genuine India paper. No more India paper can be
made because two necessary raw materials flax
from Belgium, Germany or Ireland and hemp from
Russia-because of the war, are now absolutely
understandable, and no more can be secured for
many years.
