EVERY STATE HAS TROOPS IN FRANCE
FATHER OF NAVY
DEAD In CONCORD
WILLIAM EToN CHANDLER GAVE
AMERICA HER FIGHTING
FLEET.

CONCORD, N. H., Nov 29.--Wil-
liam Eaton Chandler who as secre-
tary of the navy in President Arthurs
Cabinet, was largely responsible for
the modern Navy, died at his home
here today.
In a lifetime of endless political ac-
tivity and almost continuous contro-
versy, the one title freely accorded
by men OF all parties to William Eat
on Chandler was that of Father of
the United States Navy" AS secre-
tary OF the Navy under President Ar
thur, Mr.. Chandler, on June II, 1883,
approved the plan for the re-organiz-
alton of the navy which resulted in
the development of the present fight
ing fleet. In speech in the Senate
Gu January 26, 1915, Senator Tillman
of South Carolina, referring to the
naval bill then pending said:
Senator Chandler has had varied
experience in nava laffairs. He was
Secretary of the Navy under Presi-
dent Arthur, and really began the con-
~ fho IL o-
on the naval committee when | first
came to Washington in 1896, and was
at that time one of the ablest men in
the Senate. Although he has recent
ly entered his eightieth year, his mind
is still alert and vigorous. While he
is a Republican and / am a Democrat,
we have always been warm personal
friends. Necessarily he is better pos
ted on naval affairs than almost any
man in Washington, not exceptig even
the Navy Department itself"
This praise from so prominent a
Democrat was peculiarly significant,
inasmuch as the Democrats were very
slow to forgive Mr.. Chandler for the
part he played as a member OF the
Electoral Convention in placing Ruth
erford B. Hayes in the White House
Democratic reenge was wreaked
when the Senate, in 1881, refused to
confirm President Garfelds appoint
ment of Mr. Chandler as solicitor gen.
eral.
Born al Concord, N. H., December
2S, 1885, Mr.. Chandler was educated
at academies in New Hampshire and
Vermont and was graduated from the
Harvard law school at the age Of 10.
One of his classmates at the law
school was Joseph H. Choate. He en-
tered pontlcs at once, served three
terms in the New Hampshire House
of Representatives and was elected
Speaker of the House when but 81
yearsold. His first entrance into Ma
tional political affairs was as one of
the founders of the Republican party
and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. |
President Lincoln appointed him So
licitor and Judge advocate general of
the navy, in 1865, and three months
later he became first assistant secre-
tary of the treasury.

| The Appreciation
Of Diamonds

More and more diamonds are
bought, sold and worn every
year. And this in spite Of the
fact that the tendency Of Dia.
mond prices is steadily up
ward.
Which last fact makes the pur-
chase Of good diamond
worthwhile investment.
For instance
The lady or gentleman who buys
a Diamond Ring from our new
display can be assured that the
gem will be worth more and
more as time goes by.
Let us add that our Diamond dis
play as it stands today is
away above the average. 1t
assuredly is worthy of the
best attention of any person
who is thinking OF making
diamond purchase.

Gun Clubs Fight
Proposed Change
In Game LaWs

The Dickinson Gun Club, and other
similar organizations throughout the
state are circulating petitions seek
ing relief from the proposed radical
changes in the game laws of the
setate. Measures introduced in the
legislature would, if passed, entirely
abolish chicken and grouse shooting
until 1920, cut down the bag limit to
five birds per day and would allow
beaver trapping in certain seasons.
C. L. Bowen and Frank Ray, presl.,
dent and secretary, respectively, OF
the local gun club, with J. W. Sur
geon, ex-president of the state Or
g%anization, are interesting themselves
in the matter on behalf Of the sports
men of this section of the state IN
the hope of heading off a portion OF
this proposed legislation. The petit
lions sent out by the state organiza-
ton are in reality a fight against the
closed season and not against the
bag limit or beaver trapping. The
petition in circulation here is being
readily signed and will be forwarded
to the secretary of the state organl-
zation who will in turn take up the
matter direct with the proper legls-
|lative committees. There will no
doubt be a strong protest from the
country west Of the Missouri as well
as other sections Of the state.

PLAN ELABORATE
WELCOME FOR THE
COMPANY X BOYS

The First North Dakota Regiment,
National Guard, left the Mexican
border on Tuesday last for Fort
Smelling, Minnesota, where the several
companies will be mustered out of the
federal service within a few days. 1t
is expected that Company X will ar
rive in Dickinson within ten days or
two weeks.
Although our boys have been in no
engagement or battle, yet they have
been ever ready and eager to perform
whatever duty imposed upon them by
Uncle Sam. They have learned a lot
about war since they left Dickinson
last spring and Company K has &C.
quired the distinction of being one Of
the best companies in the regiment
in every point of qualification:
The people of Dickinson will well
come the return Of the boys, and
they are doubly thankful because of
the fact that every man who
answered the roll call at the beginn-
ing of the expedition, returns in good
health and the best of spirits. A
number of the boys have been con-
fined to the military hospital at
times, but no serious injury or all
ment has occurred in the ranks Of
the Dickinson company.
To Celebrate Home Coming
The people of the city and vicinity
are making elaborate preparations
for a fitting celebration in honor of
the returning soldier boys. The fol-
lowing resolution tells Of the action
taken by the Dickinson Commercial
Club committee in the matter:
"The fact that the North Dakota
National Guard left the Mexican
border for Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
Tuesday, and that Company K will
return to Dickinson within a very
short time, rouse a native pride and
responsibility in the hearts of the
residents of the Queen City.
"The undersigned were appointed a
committee by the Commercial Club to
cooperate with the Patriotic Aid So
ciety relative to the home coming OF
the boys.
"The city will want a wide awake,
hearty and loyal reception for these
fine young men, and this we feel sure
will be theirs from every citizen when
they do come.
"This letter, however, is more par.
ticularly in the boys future and
relative to the possible openings that
will be theirs among us.
eve are not asking the displace-
ment of those nov employed by the
commercial and professional men OF
the city, but we urgently ask that
the recognized, although not pledged
promises made by the employers gen.
orally in Dickinson and throughout
the nation, be made good by the re-
engagement in former or similar po-
%sitions, and so far as possible, the en-
gaging of other members Of Company
K who may want to make their home
with us. if places a be found.
"Your committee therefore seeks
the interest Of all employers in even
a more practical way than that OF a
banquet and public meeting,

The Senior Basket Social


Friday evening, January 10Th, the
Seniors gave a basket social in the
high school gymnasium. All present
spent a jolly evening and the social
was a success financially, about $40
being taken in.
The gymnasium was decorated with
festoons of chains of paper in the
Senior c%olors, maroon and old gold.
Edward Shaw and Ted Rudiselle
were the efficient auctioneers.
The main feature of the evening
was a track meet. Those present took
sides for the meet, according to the
colors which were pinned on them
when they entered. Excitement ran
high in the relay which ended by
the colds winning. A novel feature
was the hundred yard dash. The
contestants walked a string by look
ing through inverted opera glasses. A
persons feet looked as if they were
a mile away so it was difficult to keep
from stepping off the string. Mr..
