Keeping pace with the Nonpartisan
league vision, a vision that calls for q
great union of two great classes OF
people of the United States-the till
ers OF the soil, and the toilers in the
cities-is a task of no mean proper
tiohs to the man who isn't in close
touch with the league workers who
are combing the state every day.
At the Grand Forks meeting yes
terday, when sessions were held
morning, afternoon and evening, there
was an opportunity for gaining an in
sight into the ultimate objects and
aims of the league, and briefly
summed up, they are:
Establishment and organization
of state owned and state aided in
dustries in every state in the
union.
Organized departments in the
big cities of the nation for the
purchase OF foodstuffs from the
state, through the state owned
flour mills, packing plants. etc.
= Federal supervision over all, with
federal enterprises and federal
aided industries, IL needs be, to
the end that the nations vast re-
sources may be governed abSo-
lutely by the people.

Country Rapidly
Prepares for War;
Recruits Flocking
to Join the Navy

New York, March 3f.-On the basis
Of reports from different parts Of the
country Commander John Grady, In
charge Of the eastern recruiting divi-
sion Of the United States navy, estim-
ated today that more than ]. 800 men
were enlisted during the last week.
Scarcely a day passes without some
new development in preparation for
war. Through an announcement by the
National Security Co. 1t became known
that number of financial and com.
mercial houses were having investiga.
tions made by efficiency experts to de-
termtne how women could take the
places Of male employees who Join the
army and navy. ....-r - ,---..
1t Is estimated that 100, 900 ONCE
positions in New York business firms
will become vacant If President Wilson
issues call for volunteers.
The New York County chapter of
the Red Cross has completed fund of
$215,000 for the equipment of seven
base hospitals in this city for war
service. These hospitals, it is estimat-
ed, will give the accommodations re-
quired for an army of 100000. More
than 1000 graduate nurses have been
enrolled here for this purpose.

Mere Vaporings'' ;, Says
Bruce, Of Robinson's
Opinion on Regents
Supreme Court Justices in Saturday Night Letter. Ex-
pounds Own Views-Case Not Yet Decided-Old
Board Remains on the Job at Bismarck

Justice Robinson has given decisions
and opinions" are also undecided,
and the result. it is pointed out, Is q
great embarrassment to the supreme
court.
1t does not seem probable that an
opinion in the board of regents case
will be reached before late next week.
The supreme court received amended
briefs and answers only Thursday, and
there is a great volume Of matter to
be considered on both sides.
More interest attaches to this mat
ter than any other case now before
the supreme court. Much publicity
has been given to the controversy, and
there are friends and supporters on
each side who are very anxious for
victory.
The old board remains in possession,
and the work of the regents is pro-
ceedipg without interruption. New
board members have returned to their
homes, travelling at their own expense
instead Of on state mileage. as the
auditing committee had hoped to have
them do.
1t has been rumored that should
the governor fail in his present effort
to oust the board on technical grounds,
he will proceed against the regents in
an effort to unseat them for cause =
What that cause can be has not been
divulged. nor has 1t been possible to
confirm or disprove the report.

Administration Is
Confident Wilson Will
Have Solid Backing
of a United Nation

Washington. March 81. - President
Wilson having decided fully with his
cabinet upon a course of action to
meet the national emergency today set
about the task Of reducing tho con-
clusion to writing.
Indications were that the formal
RECOGNITION Of the existence OF a
state Of war being the United States
and Germany would result.
Just what part the United States
would play in the war against Ger
many will not be DEVELOPED until after
congress defines the nations status
and completes urgent defense legisla-
ton.
Administration officers are confident
that the president will have the al
most solid backing of the country and
congress in whatever recommenda-
tions he NAV make. Some opposition
is looked for, however. from pacifists
at the capitol.
Among the measures congress is ex-
pected to act on soon after President
Wilson's appearance early next week
are extension of a large credit to the
government, provision for raising an
army Of about million men: censor
ship and spy bills: the regular army
supply bill and emergency legislation
