Preliminary Work
BY w. G. T. U. Has
Helped Win Victories

The victories for prohibition and
woman suffrage during recent years
are traceable to much preliminary
work, a large part OF which has been
done by the WoInan'S Christian Tenn
perance union. The following is an ex-
tract from Frances =. WIZARDS annual
address-her first as president of the
national w. @. T. u, given at Boston in
1880:
sTwo-thirds of Christs church are
women whose persuasive voices will be
achievements quite indispensable to
the evangelizing agencies OF q more
"A horde Of ignorant voters, COM
mitted to the rum-power, fastens the
dramshop like leech on our commun--
titles; but let the republic take notice
that our unions are training an army
to Offset this horde, one which will be
the only army specifically educated to
their duty which has ever yet come up
to the help OF the Lord against tho
mighty. For slowly but surely the re-
f1ex influence OF this mighty reform,
born in the church and nurtured at the
crusade affairs, Is educating women to
the level of two most solemn and onli--
nous duties: First, that they ought to
vote; second, that they ought to vote
against grogshops. The present gener-
alton will not pass away until in many
of the states this shall be fulhll6d, and
then America thou shalt find ra1Iying
to thy defense an army Of voters which
absenteeism will not decimate and
money cannot buy. When we desire this
ahome protection weapon, American
manhood will place 1t in our hands"

committee announces, for all students
to show their registration cards at
the door before they will be admitted.

held Saturday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. H. L: Bolley, 1902 Seventh street
Robert Clendening. state president, and
Mrs. r. e. Weible, both of this city,
Were present at the meeting and gave
addresses that commanded the close
attention of their audience.
The addresses dealt largely with de-
tails of the recent suffrage victory won
at Bismarck, and Mrs. Clendening
evoked much enthusiasm when she told
of how they had insisted that suffrage
be written into house bill No. a.. be-
cause, although the women were assur-
ed by the senate that 1t would not go
through, they determined that they
would rather be killed than left OUT.
In the course of her talk, Mrs. Glen
dening also told of how the jamestown
league had been reorganized into the
Voting Women's league, and urged con-
fragists in the state, SO that If a consti-
tutional convention IL called this COM
ing summer successful effort may be
made for full REIMBURSEMENT of the
North Dakota women.
Mrs. Weible, in her clever way relat-
ed her experiences and those OF others
on duty at the capital, as lobbyists, ami
was also received with much enthusi-
Mrs. Weible explained clearly just what
rights have been granted the North
Dakota women by the recent partial
suffrage bill. and made a strong appeal
to all present to justify the same by
thorough and wise use of the vote.
Following the action taken by other
states, the local league has sent let
ter that will eventually reach Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, for whom 1t is intended,
and who is in Florida this winter in
the hopes of improving her health.

ANCIENT TREATY
With PRUSSIA

more desirable to denounce the treaty
than to give 1t new force.
Germany to Ask ratification.
Berlin, Feb. 4, via London, Feb. g.
The Associated Press learns authori-
tatively that Germany will propose to
Ambassador Gerard special re-rat-
treaties of 1879 and 1912, allowing ma
tionals in case of war nine months in
which to settle their affairs and leave
hostile countries.
A representative of the foreign
Office pointed out to a correspondent
of The Associated Press that the anci-
emit treaties between the United States
and Prussia were still in effect and
contained a clause contrary to the
usual rule, that they should not be
invalidated bv the outbreak of hos
tiIities. This official said that so far
as he was informed Germany certainly
would hold to these treaties and that
there would be no question of intern
ing Americans in Germany in case of
war.
In official quarters there seemed to
be anxiety to reassure the few Am
orleans still here on the question of
internment. Several OF these Ameri-
cans are In a highly difficult condition
with no prospective means of return
to the United States except by the
trans Siberian railway or possibly by
q round -about route through Switzer-
land to Spain and by Spanish steam
erg to Cuba.
Scores Of Americans have applied
since Wednesday for the necessary
military permission to leave the coun-
try, but this involves delay of at least
fortnight. Others, including long
time residents whose interests are in
Germany. planned TO remain no mat
ter what happened.

FLOOD
BILL NOT
PASSED
(By II. D. Paulson.)

Bismarck N. D.. Feb. SIT became
known today that Governor Frazier,
in disappearing Lathrop's concurrent
resolution for an investigation of the
Red river valley food conditions, We
toed a measure that hasn't yet been
passed by the legislature. Through a
clerical error the bill was sent to the
governor, when as a matter of fact
it rests with the appropriations COM
mittee Of the senate.
The journal of the senate shows
that the Lathrop bill passed that
body. 1t was. however. Immediately
reconsider and re-referred to the
appropriations committee for amend
ments in the sections relating to the
appropriation. The bill as 1t passed the
house, placed no limit on the appro-
priation and therefore is unconsti-
tutional. That was the position Gov
ernor Frazier took in ''vetoing" the
bill. The clerical error doesn't affect
the bill, which will come back to the
senate this week with amendments,
and likely be passed.
