CHINA'S entry
INTOWAR Will
help ENTENTE
British Minister to Picking Says,
However, Ship Carriers More
Useful Than Man Power

"China's entry into the great war
will be a material aid TO the Allies,
thinks RI Hon. Sir John Jordan, Brit,
ish minister to Picking. who is return
ing to his post on the Siberia Maru
after a years absence in England.
Whether or not the Allies will ac'
cept the offer of 10000 Chinese
troops the British minister is not Ger
tain, although he believes that such
will be done. China is already Civ,
ing great aid to Italy, Great Britain
and France by the supplying Of labor
10 be used behind the lines" he says.
He expects the amount Of this labor
to be greatly increased now that China
is an active participant in the war.
But for immediate and much needed
aid, Sir John considers the use OF the
German ships which were informed IL
China, now taken over by that gov
eminent, more important than the of,
fer Of man power. Aid 10 the Allies
in sea carriers is what is most needed,
he intimates
On the day Sir John left London, he
says the streets we're streaming with
American flags in honor Of division
OF American troops which was ex'
pected to parade through the city later
in the day.
There is much enthusiasm in Eng
land because of the entrance OF
America" he declares. Asked if there
was any feeling because America had
not entered the war sooner, he an
swered in the negative. Intelligent
people recognize that President Will
son had a difficult problem to handle.
IT is perhaps we'll that America wait
ed until it did to enter the war;" he
concludes.
OF political problems in the Far
East, the British minister does not
feel at liberty to speak, but he ex'
presses a great admiration for the
Chinese people, and says he thinks
that the people of north and south
China will eventually forget their diff.
ferences and become a great nation.
"They will have to do So" he adds.
Sir John Jordan has put in Al years
of his life in consular and diplomatic
positions in China and Korea. For ten
years preceding the Japanese Russian
war he was the British minister to
Korea and he has been the British
minister to Picking for eleven years.
Sir John Jordan is accompanied by
his secretary, C. Archibald w. Rose,
who has been attached to the British
diplomatic corps in China for a num-
Der of years. He had letters of intro
duction to A. L. c. Atkinson, now in
the officers training camp, and Mrs.
A. M. Brown. ....

applied for in the Williston Chapter

The memberships are still COM
ing in and it is hoped to have 1000
members in the Williston chapter,
comprising Williams and Mckenzie
counties within a short time.
At a meeting held at the school
auditorium Tuesday evening actual
work was started when DR.. T. j..
Strong explained the principals Of
first aid. 1t was voted to take up
this work and this will be one of the
first activities of the chapter here.
Word has also been requested from
Washington as to the most pressing
immediate need and response along
this line will be started as soon as an
assignment is given.
Mrs. Thomas J. Strong, chairman
of the local chapter has appointed
the following committees; the officers
of the chapter serving ex-officio as
members of the executive committee.
The executive committee consists
of the officers of the local chapter, J.

CLEANUPS GET RESULTS

The different committees, who
made inspections after clean up week
report that as a whole the work is
very satisfactory, since most of our
citizens took hold and cleaned up
alleys as we'll as their own premises.
The work is no t yet considered
completed as many places still re-
main untouched and there are still
ashes and manure heaps in alleys
that positively must be removed.
Different parties were spoken to
about their premises and some had
valid excuses and made promises that
the matter would be attended to.
The throwing Of tin cans into the
street has been practice in some
parts of town-extreme east Broad
way being particularly bad in this
respect. More inspections will fol-
low and positively no one will be ex-
empt from cleaning up. The boy
scouts deserve much credit for their
part in the work.

At the noon hour the basket lunch
plan used so successfully at Ray last

teresting things showing what has
been done in the county. Rev. E. C.

COUNTY ROADS
GET BIG TALK
At BOARD MEET
CONDITION OF MANY ROADS
CAUSE LARGE DELEGATIONS
TO APPEAR AND ASK WORK
MUST BE MAINTAINED
RVEYOR INDICATES THAT
TOWNSHIPS ARE LAX IN KEEP
ING UP IMPROVED ROADS

Following presentations Of large
number Of petitions for road work
and other road improvements the
board of commissioners this week
gave out a statement giving the po-
sition of the board on this matter.
While there are many people who
will be disappointed in not getting
immediate action on road work the
position Of the board in insisting on
keeping up grades that have already
been built is one that is to be COM
mended if real results are to be OBJ
tained. 1t is believed that little
Of the right kind of cooperation will
shortly iron matters out so that Will
liams county roads can be put in good
shape.
Following is the communication
from the board:
Just at this season of the year, |
believe it advisable to call attention
once more to the useless waste of
money, and travel comfort, as a re-
suit of lack of interest in those in au-
thority in the proper maintenance of
recently constructed road grades.
During the summer of 1916 the
county expended some twenty thou
sand of your dollars in the construc-
tion of good, serviceable road grades.
1t has been my rather doubtful
pleasure during the past month to
travel over nearly every grade which
was constructed during last year, and
I have found, as yet, not single
piece of such grade where dollar
has been expended for maintenance.
What is the result? Deep ruts in
the newly built grade. Ruts so deep
that on several occasions l have been
compelled to jack up my car and put
a footing under the wheels to enable
me to proceed. D..
Now, in every instance where the
County gave the assistance asked by
the different Townships, They, (The
Townships) agreed to keep and main
tain such grades. Are you doing as
you agreed?
Is the County justified in expending
your money for road work, and then
allowing you to 'renige' on your own
voluntary proposition to maintain :?
What, for instance, has become of
the men who specifically agreed to
maintain the grade known as the Lit
tie Muddy Chute, grade?
Right now is the time to go over
that especial grade with weighted
harrow, and follow up with a road
drag. I saw drag lying alongside
of the grade, but it did not seem to
be doing very much good where it
lay, and I suggest that some one try
what can be done by hitching good
team to the front end of same and
pulling it up and down that grade
about a dozen times. You will be
surprised at the result, and your
neighbors will rise up and call you
blessed. Try it, but. first give it a
thoro narrowing to pulverize the dirt.

BASEBALL TO
OPEN SUNDAY
Grenora Team Billed For First Game
OF The Seas0n-Strong Team Is
Ready To Start For WillistOn

Williston baseball fans will have
their first opportunity to see their
1917 Opportunes in action next Sun
dav when the locals will meet with
Grenora.
The Grenora team is said to be in
good shape and expects to make a
strong showing in this section before
the season is over. The business men
of that city are behind the team to a
man and it is understood that the
word has gone out to get the ball
players regardless Of expense.
The new ball park will be used for
the game and while it is not dressed
up as we'll as it will be later in the
season the fans will find it one of the
best in the state and the conveniences
planned will put Williston we'll to the
front in this line.
Players have been reporting to Man.
ager Marshall this week and while it
is probable that there will be big
squad on hand to try out the team
seems to be getting down to the fol-
lowing lineup for the real games
ahead this summer:-1mmings. Sto-
vern, catchers; Browning, Wilkus and
Marshall, pitchers; Willard, first;
Reed, second; Harper, short stop;
Chicen, third; Wilkerson, left field;
Dean, center; Bruegger, right field.
The new uniforms are ready for
the boys and the U. S. flag is prom
inent in the color scheme, neat pa
triotic emblem showing on the shirt
of each suit.

pervisor of the District had been no.
titled at least twice of the condition,
and had failed to act. Try little
dynamite or other good strong start
er on him, and see if you can't get
action.
And this applies to every grade
built last summer. Come across if
you expect any action by the Board
of County Commissioners upon the
many applications for help which is
before them at their present session.
Lets work together, not separately,
and we'll accomplish something worth
while.
Yours for GOOD ROADS.
