for all offices not created by the consti-
tuition was unconstitutional and void
The appeal VIII be filed with the supreme
court this week II 5 the hope of all
parties to the suit that the supreme
court may hand down a hnal decision
in time TO inform the women of Indiana
whether they shall have the right to
vote at the coming city and town cleo
lions throughout The state. which will
be held in November.
Lawyers say Judge Rochford's decis-
ion affects only the city election in In
dianapols and town elections in Marion
county towns. because the jurisdiction
Of his court is limited to that territory.
Therefore. both parties are going ahead
with their plans TO have women vote in
the remainder Of the state. But, while
Judge Rochford's decision viii not be
binding on other places it viii probably
have certain degree Of influence, and
iii case the women vote at city and
town elections and later the woman suf-
frage law is knocked out by the supreme
court there might arise complications in
regard to results Of such elections.

LITTLE IS KNOWN AS TO
NUMBER OF BOYS IN FRANCE

When Congressman Norton was in
the state last week he said:
America will not be in the war to
it's full war strength until the spring
of 1919 You must remember that 1t
takes a vast equipment for one or two
million men. I should estimate that
We have between 100000 and $4,000
soldiers in France today and by spring
we ought to have from 100000 to 700,-
900. France and England ought to be
able to hold out until our full fighting
force is mobilized."
Secretary Baker declines to state
the number Of troops forwarded or to
indicate whether he anticipated delay
from this time. Movement of the forces
he said, depended on two elements,
the training and equipment of the men
and the availability of ships. AS fast
as they are ready ships and men will
be combined.
Mr. Baker says the arrival of Ameri-
ran troops in France has kept up with
the expectation of the war department.
How many troops crossed will prob
ably not be made public until after
the war is over.

DEATH CALLS AN OLD
OLIVER COUNTY FARMER

On Friday, December 7th, at Sanger,
occurred the death of P. H. Bagnell,
who was one of the first settlers of
Oliver county. Mr.. Bagnell was born
in Ireland in 1887 and had he lived un-
til the 9th of this month, he would
have been eighty years of age. He
came with his parents to America in
1910 and settled in Wisconsin, where
he lived until 1882, when he came to
Dakota Territory, homesteading in
Oliver county, three miles west of the
present site of Sanger. He lived on
this homestead and successfully farm
ed and improved it until two years
ago when he moved to Sanger Mr..
Bagnell served as sheriff of Oliver
county for several years and was
county Judge Tor a number Of terms.
He was married in 1868 to Amelia
Morgan and had death not intervened

G. W. Smith of Mandan, together with
the widow and brother, remain to
mourn the loss of the departed.
Death was caused by severe attack
of the grippe and the age of the de-
seased prevented him from success
fully combating the attack. Funeral
services were conducted in the opera
house at Sanger on Sunday by L. R.

TURKEYS, FIRST AFTER HER ENTRANCE INTO THE WAR
WAS a CAMPAIGN AGAINST EGYPT in AN ATTEMPT
TO CAPTURE THE suEz CANAL POSSIBLE

The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes, of more than
1900 years possession Of the seat OF
the Christian religion by the Moham-
medans. For e7s years the Holy City
has been in disputed ownership o!
the Turks, the last Christian ruler OF
Jerusalem being the German emper-
or,Frederik II, whose shortlived do
minion lasted from 1929 to 1874.
Apart from It's connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur.
key by the British in Mesopotamia,
the fall of Jerusalem was the definite
collapse of the long-protracted efforts
of the Turks to capture the suez can.
al and invade Egypt. Almost the
first move made by Turkey after her
entrance into the, war was cant.
paign against Egypt across the great
dessert Of the Sinai peninsula.
In sentimental and romantic as.
pect the capture of Jerusalem far
exceeds even the fall Of fable crown
ed Bagdad. The modern city Of Jeru'
salem contains about 10000 inhabi-
tants and lis the home of pestilence,
filth and fevers, but in historic inter
est it naturally surpasses to the
Christian world, all other places in
the. world. Since the days when
Joshua wrested it from the hands OF
the Jebusites to make itgtlle capital q y

the priced prey Of half the races OF
