After More Than Half. Year of Border
Duty, Are Returned 10
Fort Smelling.

North Dakota's regiment of national
guard that has been on border duty
in Texas since last July when they
went south following call to the COL
ors of the state militia througout the
United States. When the regular
troops on the border were sent into
Mexico to "gct Villa" following the
massacre at Columbus, n. NJ, the
state troops were pressed into service
to take their places.
The North Dakotans are at Fort
Smelling. MINI, and will be mustered
out from there. Many of them have
been gone so long that they are cu.
of touch with their old positions, and
some may be unable to secure employ
mcnt promptly. To protect the men
from Inconvenience, the state legisla-
turc of North Dakota last Saturday
nurried through special appropria-
tion Of $4,000 to take care of their
needs.
Newspaper reports indicate that
North Dakota troops proved to be
among the best Of the volunteers, both
in ability and willingness to thorough
ly complete the disagrceablc duty at
hand. They dug trenches, cleared
sway cactus and sage-brush and slept
in the mud when necessary.
All North Dakotans will be glad to
have them home again, and will re-
joice that they acquitted themselves
so we'll.
Emmons County record., 1917-02-01

There are no doubt many persons in
che county who have wondered why
the. Record should oppose in so strong
q manner this new political frame-up
that is now ruling the state of North
Dakota. Our reasons have been that
the men who organized the movement
were not men with records fitting
them for the task, that voting in
masses for those things submitted by
another is dangerous to the liberty of
a self-governing people, and that
should the legal bosses be successful
in landing their men, they would have
such whip over their heads-because
of the previous signed pledges, the
fear of the scourgc of the Non-Par-
tisan Leader and the Courier-News,
and natural obligations due to the
men who engineered their election
that those bosses would absolutely
control the machinery of our state
government.
If our readers will get copy of
the old state constitution and compare
it with the proposal contained in H.
B. ID, we believe they will be con-
vinced that there is vast amount of
change therein contained that the far
mer has not endorsed nor will he en-
dorse. And we believe he will agree
that it has absolutely nothing to do
with the marketing Of grain, nor the
price thereof.
The Record has not been "bucking
the farmer" is not "bucking the far
mer," and does not propose to "buck
the farmer" But it will fight with
all its might and main an attempt to
loot state by foreign mercenaries
IN THE NAME OF THE FARMER
We submit to our readers that all
this vast amount of secrecy has had
an object. We believe they will
agree that honest intentions would
not have required the league authori-
ties, through their newspaper, to
counsel boycott and kindred methods
to muzzle any opposition.
We have been accused of being "in
the pay of the big interests" Time
will tell whether we are honest in oul
beliefs or not and whether or not the
league organizers came to North Da.

Berlin Admits Safe
Conduct Is Worthless
Doesn't Matter Whether Sunk
en- Relief Ship Had One or
Not, Says Announcement

Berlin, March Is (by wireless to
Sayville) british news dispatches
state that the Norwegian steamer
Storstad, sunk by a German subma-
zinc. was in the service of the Belgian
Relief Commission, and was provided
with safe conduct from the German
Consul at Buenos Ayres," says the
Overseas News Agency. German
newspapers state on competent au-
thority that this report is absolutely
improbable. The Storstad could have
no safe conduct issued by a German
authority at Buenos Ayres. since nei-
ther the German Minister nor the Ger
man Consul there has been authorized
TO issue such safe conducts for ships
Of the Relief Commission. Ncgotia-
tions regarding this matter are pend
ing.
1T is ascertained that the Storstad
was sunk within the barred zone, and
therefore IL matters not whether she
YVES providtd with a safe conduct and
carried Che signs Of the Relief Com
mission. All ships, including those
with such signs, are obliged to avoid
the barred zone; otherwise thew run
the risk o. Being sunk. The Relief
Commission was warned officially by
the German authorities on February
against permitting their ships 20 90
into the barred zone. The sinking Of
the vessel. therefore. was the cap
tain's fault"
The Storstsd, flying the flag Of the
American Commission for Relief in
Belgium and carrying a cargo Of maize
for Belgium, was torpedoed without
warning Off the southern end of Ire
land. One Of her crew lost his life.
The others, including one American,
were rescued

Berlin's February Toll
Of Ships 1880 Tons
German Admiralty's Estimate
Of Merchant Losses Much
Greater than British

Berlin, March IS (by wireless 10 Say
vile. March lS).-Merchant ships of an
aggregate gross tonnage of 78l 500
were destroyed in February. as a result
of war measures Of the Central Pow
crs, the Admiralty announced to-day.
The statement follows:
"ln February 1858 merchant ships Of
an aggregate gross tonnage of 7Sl 800
were lost by the war measures of the
Central Powers. Among them were 292
hostile ships, with an aggregate gross
tonnage Of $4,000. and seventy-six
neutral ships Of an aggregate gross
tonnage Of 1877 500. among the neutral
ships sixty-one were sunk by subma-
rines which is 1915 per cent of the
total IN February, as compared with 20
per cent. the average of neutral losses
in the last four months"
There is wide disparity between
'he official German figures OF the de-
struction Of shipping in February. the
first month of unrestricted submarine
warfare. and the figures given out in
England. II was said authoritatively
.u London on March . that in February
German submarines sent TO the bottom.

ping. No mention was made Of ships

Russian Church Here
Refuses to Bless Gar

Archbishop Evdokim, the highest rep
resentative of the Russian Church in
New York, hes adapted his services 70
the new Russian regime. In accord
ance with the action Of the Holy Synod
at Petrograd, which severed the ira
dtional connection of the Car witt.
the Orthodox Church, the archbishC4
avoided the mention Of the Little
Father" in the course OF his services
yesterday.
1t is an established custom in the
Russian Church to bless the Car and
his family at services. This blessing
constituted one of the most impressive
scenes in the ritual of the Orthodox
Church. The abrogation of this Gus
tom by the New York Archbishop was
therefore accompanied by the congre-
cations establishment, which resolved
itself into jubilant excitement.

Three Sunken Ships
Had Carried Supplies
To Allies for Months

The three American steamships sunk
by German submarines yesterday IN the
war zone we're all active IN the pursuit
Of trade between the United states and
belhgerent and neutral ports.
The City of Memphis, known 70 thou
sands Of Americans as a passenger car
rier Of the Savannah Line IN the service
between New HorA, Boston and Ss-
vannah, had loggeG more than $4,000
miles in trips across the Atlantic since
the European war began.
Enhanced in value because OF the
shortage Of the worlds tonnage, the old
Ward liner Vigilancia was early
pressed into service when hostilities
broke out in Europe. and was sent
across the Atlantic with cotton cargoes
for Germany before the British block
ade became strict.
The tank steamship Illinois, owned by
the Texas Oil Company had been en-
gagged largely in Transporting oil from
Port Arthur, Tex, to Great Britain and
returning in ballast.
All were manned chiefly by native
Americans or citizens who had taken
out their first papers. Scattered among
the crews were few subjects Of neu-
trail powers.
Laden to capacity with 1858 bales
of cotton, valued al 5000, 900, the City
Of Memphis left this port for Hayre
on January %. She made the trip in
sixteen days, landing her costly cargo
on February 8. Il was due to the
merest chance that she was able TO
get TO her destination. as she was
halted by a U-boat southwest of the
Scillys. Two shots were sent across
her bow and she came to a dead stop.
The submarine signalled that the
ships papers be brought out TO him,
and Captain Borum sent them out in
charge of his first officer, the latter
being taken aboard the German sub
mersible He answered all questions
put to him by the German command
er, and, when the latter had finished
his interrogation, he handed the pa
pers back, saying: "You are full of
contraband and / ought TO sink you,
but YOU tell the master that because
Of the friendly relations that exist be-
tween the United States and Germany,
III let you proceed. But don't you
come around these waters again.
