Another Suggestion

Why not call the proposed station
at Devils Lake Pearl Station in honor
of w. B. Pearl, who was located there
for many years as proprietor of the
Cliff House. His name is more close,
ly associated with the north end of
the lake than any other and | would
suggest the above be applied.

MEXICO SAID TO SEEK LOAN
MAY PROCLAIM BENEVOLENT
NEUTRALITY.
Breaking of Relations with Germany
Possible if Wilson Desires-Chanse
of Heart Reported.

Washington, May 2S.-President Car.
now to be as anti-German as he re.
Gently was pro-German, is endeavoring
to negotiate an understanding with
the United States by virtue of which
the Mexican government would SUBJ
scribe to support of the American
cause in the European war and re-
ceive in return American financial sup.
port.
May Break with Germany.
1t is not unlikely that as a result
Of these negotiations Mexico will pro-
claim neutrality benevolent to the
United States and give what assist
ance it can to the Allies.
1t is possible that Mexico eventually
will break relations with Germany,
particularly if President Wilson should
indicate that such action by Carranza
would be desirable.
Experiences Change of Heart.
Whatever the outcome it may be
stated that Carranza has experienced
a change of heart since the United
States began loaning billions of dol
lars to its allies. He now is eager to
do anything the United States wants
done, particularly as he has been given
to understand that he cannot expect
to obtain financial assistance from the
United States unless he first eradi-
Gates the suspicion that he is in
league with German interests.

TWO WOMEN SHOT AS SPIES
Struggled Letters to Friends Not
Knowing Contents.

Geneva, May 20. - La Suisse has
printed details of a case similar to
that of Miss Edith Cavell, the Eng
lish nurse, who was executed by the
Germans in Brussels in October, 1915
The Germans, says the newspaper, re-
Gently arrested two women, Madame
Pfeister and her daughter, aged %, on
the Swiss-Alsatian frontier. They were
charged with acting as spies.
The women promptly admitted at
the trial that they had smuggled let
tiers, without knowledge of their con-
tents, from Alsatian families to rela-
tives in Switzerland. This was done
simply as a friendly act and without
political or malicious purpose.
Both momen, says La Suisse, were
shot at Mulhausen. The mother was
a Mortified witness Of the execution of
her daughter before her turn came.

BY VOTE OF 1856 TO MEASURE
DECLARING NEUTRALITY IN
WAR BETWEEN U. S. AND
GERMANY is REVOKED.
PRESIDENT GETS POWER
TO ENFORCE MEASURE
Parliament Expected to Follow Action
of Chamber So That Republic Can
Take Active Side Against the
Teuton Nation-Chile Like
ly Will Follow.

Rio Janeiro, May 30.-The Brazilian
Chamber has passed the first reading
OF the government measure revoking
Brazils neutrality in the war between
Germany and the United States. The
vote was 1876 to g. The measure rec
commended the cancellation of the de-
cree of April %, 1917, which declared
neutrality.
Under this bill President Braz is
authorized to take the necessary steps
to make the measure effective.
The leaders of the principal politi-
cal factions declared that they would
vote for the proposed project because
they felt confident that the parlia-
ment would complete the measure by
revoking also in favor of the Allies
the country's declaration of neutrality
and thereby permit Brazil to take
sides with the Allies against Ger
many. This declaration brought forth
enthusiastic applause.
Chilean Support Likely.
Santiago, Chile, May 29.-Chile will
support Brazil in adopting vigorous
measures against Germany, says the
Diario nlustrado, in commenting on
the action of the president of Brazil,
in urging congress to revoke the de-
cree of neutrality in the war between
the United States and Germany and
authorize measures for the defense of
the nations dignity.
1T is no longer a question of a con-
gress of American neutral nations, -
says this newspaper, nor of the for
nation of a theoretical policy to bring
about united action. Recent events
have wrought a great chance. Pan
Americans and the Monroe Doctrine
have a deeper meaning now than ever
before.
Brazil has accused Germany of acts
prejudicial to Pan-Americanism. To.
day it is Brazil, and tomorrow other
nations will make the same charge.
For the safeguarding of maritime traf-
fic, several nations will offer facilities
for the United States warships en-
gagged in this work. Chile will be as
friendly to the United States as Brazil
and Uruguay"

THREE THOUSAND ANGRY PER,
SONS SWEEP THRU STREET
Determined TO RID CITY
OF NEGRO LABoRERS.
SALOONS ARE WRECKED;
NEGROES ARE BEATEN
Small Detachment of Soldiers Quar-.
tered in Town Unable to Cope With
Mob and Mayor Appeals to the
Governor for More Troops to
Quell Disturbers.

East st. Louis, ILL.,, May Boa mob
estimated at 5000 persons, determined,
as they shouted, to rid the city of ne
groes imported to work in factories
and munition plants, have swept thru
the streets, attacking and beating ne
groes wherever found. Several ne
groes probably were fatally injured.
The mob stopped street cars and in
terurban cars in it's search and at an
early morning hour was threatening
to storm the Jail, where at least a
score of negroes had been taken for
safe keeping. Ambulances made the
rounds of the streets where the mob
had travelled to pick up unconscious
and injured blacks and take them to
hospitals and temporary shelters,
The police were helpless against the
mob. Mayor Fred Mollman appealed
to Major R. w. Cavanaugh, in charge
of two companies of the Sixth Illinois
infantry, CHARTERED in the town for
aid. Major Cavanaugh, heading a de-
tail of 125 men, helped to fight back
the mob while several negroes were
rescued, but soon it became evident
that this small force of soldiers was
inadequate.
Governor Appealed to for Troops.
Mayor Mollman then telegraphed
Governor Lowden to send additional
troops.
The beginning of the riot, resulted
from go members of the East st. Louis
trades and labor union visiting the
regular meeting of the city council
to protest against the importation of
negroes from Mississippi to work in
factories of the city.
1t was estimated that 5000 blacks
had been brought into the city since
January 1.
Mayors Appeal Fails.
When the meeting adjourned, hun
dreds of persons were assembled out
side the building. The mayor mount
ed the running board of an automo-
Lille and made another appeal counsel
ling the crowd to remain quiet. He
was applauded and the crowd moved
away. A block from the city hall one
of the crowd declared he heard ne
gro accost white woman.
Get that Niger" some one shout
ed and in an instant dozens were cry
ing for rope. A policeman with
drawn gun rescued the black. The
crowd was apparently peaceable until
news was received that two white
men had been held up and shot by a
negro who was said to have been
wounded in return. Efforts Of the
police to quell the spirit of the mob
failed. Dozens of saloons were
wrecked in the negro district and
every negro found was beaten.

ITALIANS CONTINUE ADVANCE
FIGHT THEIR WAY TO WITHIN
TWO MILES OF DUNNO.
Fury of Struggle for Possession Of
Trieste Continues Unabated With
Latins Gaining Constantly.

Rome, May 29.-The Italians, having
fought their way forward to within
two miles of Dunno, the most formid-
able natural barrier between them and
Trieste, the great battle now enters
ito eighteenth day without any sign
of an abatement in the fury of the
struggle.
Vienna stubbornly refuses to con-
cede the Italian victories, but the map
tells the story of General Cadorna' S
steady advance.
Latins Reach Medeazza.
Dunno marks a point at which the
Carso plateau almost touches the sea.
Protected by the ocean on the one
side it is powerfully defended to the
north by Mount Querceto.
Az the foot of Mount Querceto, fac
ing west, lies the little town of Mede-
azza, and the Italians have smashed
their way to within a few hundred
yards of this village.
From no other theatev of the war
comes any news of importance.
Teuton Powers Face Crises.
The battle between the reactionar-
les and Liberals in Austria-Hungary
goes merrily forward and there are
reports of further impending minis
terial designations in Vienna and Bu-
dapest. Sensations are promised at
the sessions of the Austrian parlia-
ment, but it remains to be seen how
much news will be able to escape the
censor.
In Germany the violence of the at
tacks on Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg indicates the acuteness of the
political crisis, but the recess of the
reichstag renders even more meager
than usual the information that seeps
across the border.
"Lines Unbroken," Says Vienna.
Vienna, May 29.-"Our defenders
lines remain unbroken," declares an
official statement on the Italian front
fighting, claiming capture of $4,000
prisoners from the enemy since the
beginning of the tenth Isonzo battle.
Furious fighting was reported.

that five days were allowed for the
