MILAN, Mrs Annie Laurie Harris re-
ceIved the guests at the door and
ushercd them into the reception hall
which was very beautiful in decora-
tons OF yellow chrysanthemums,
palms and ferns. The stairway lead
ing into the hall was beautifully twin
ed with smilax, chrysanthemum and
cedar branches. The punch bowl was
placed IN the bay window and had
tall palms standing on either side of
the table, and little Miss Elizabeth
Maffett and Master Lee O'Brien scrv-
ed the punch as the guests arrived.
The parlor was beautifully decor
ated with many ferns and pink flow
ers.
Just before the wedding march
Mrs. l.. A. Turner sang MY Long
Dream of You" Then Mendelssohns
wedding march was played by Mrs
Henry WeSter and the bride and
groom came in from the end of the
hall and took their place before the
lmprovised altar of ferns and flowers
and were married by the Rev. Allen
Wall. During the ceremony Mrs.
Wester played softly Melody of
Love" and after the ceremony Mrs.
l.. A. Turner very beautifully sang,
The End of Perfect Day"
The bride was exqusitely gowned
in white satin with georgette crepe
draperies with angel sleeves and wore
veil which was caught up with
orange blossoms. The veil formed
a beautiful train. She carried bou-
quet Of white carnations and valley
lilies. The brides mother was very
handsomely gowncd in blue silk
marguisette and georgette crepe

Mrs. Murray Immediately after the

NO PLACE FOR "FREE
MAGAZINE.

Fargo's old friend Max Eastman
has suspended his magazine THE
aEasses'', following the order barring
It from the mails. He announces
that there is no place in America for
q efree magazine" at this time.
He's right, when he means such a
magazine as ''rhs Masses.
Russia was held up to Americans
BY American radicals, as the Land
Of Sromise. where free speech" and
= free press" were welcomed and
encouraged. Just at present. the last
Job we would care to hold would be
editing newspaper devoted to the
cause OF the KerenslEy government,
In Petrograd. Canals and rivers are
too handy. and opponents OF the gov
eminent have way of stumbling In
70 them.
II Mr.. Eastman is in earnest in his
fight for free speech. he might move
to Petrograd and start q newspaper
that diners from the Bolsheviki on
any question. Or IL his aim really is
to help Germany he could join Leon
Trotzky and throw his influence on
the side Of q separate peace for Rus
sia. The Fargo Home Guard can be
counted on to subscribe $40 toward
The ticket.

the alternative Of extending to them
government aid in three different
forms, q loan, an increase in rates,
and the repeal Of anti-pooling legis'
lation.
Both the railroad executives and
the employees are opposed to govern
ment operation. but both have pledg-
ed their loyalty to the government
The executives claim 1t is not neces-
sary, and that IL federal director is
appointed to unravel the tangie of
conflicting priority orders. and IL the
government backs a loan to permit
the roads to finance themselves, they
can work out their problems inde-
'pendently.
The Brotherhoods are reported to
be opposed to government ownership,
perhaps because they fear conscrip-
ton of labor. and with good cause. If
the roads were being operated by
government, az war measure, and
q strike were threatened, the most
radical steps would be justified and
would be upheld by the country at
large.

Injuries Bar American
CAGES"

Lufbery, Hall and Thaw Forced 60
Leave Lafayette Eseadrills.
When the Lafayette Escadrille, one
OF the most famous flying units. In
service on the western front, was
transferred several weeks ago from
the French to the American army,
several of the greatest fiiers In the
escadrille were forced to remain in
the French service because they
could not pass the American phys
zeal examination.
Among these were Lieut.. Raoul
Lufbery, Lieut.. Bert Hall and Lieut..
William Thaw, all widely known
American aviators. All three OF
these men received bad injuries at
the front that barred them from AM
erican service. Lufbery, who form
erly was the premier ''ace" or the
escadriIle. lost the use OF his left arm
as the result OF a wound received In
one OF his air fights. ThAw lost the
use OF his right eye several months
ago when q shrapnel shell hurst near
his plane. Bert Hall. another ''ace,"
was badly wounded in the face ana

There Is good sense behind the at
tituds taken by the government
toward Americas newest enemies,
the subjects Of the Austro- Hungar-
ian empire.
Austro-H Hungary hardly can be
called a nation. It is a collection of
peoples. who are neither Austrian
nor Hungarian. The population of
Austro- Hungary is made up OF about
100000 Germans; 100000 Mag
vars; $4,000 Czechs; 5000, 600 South
Slavs; 100000 Poles; 1000, 900 Lit
tie Russians; 100000 Rumanians;
and a scattering of Italians.
Each one OF these races has its
own distinct history and traditions.
Only two Of the groups. the Germans
and Magyars. are in accord with the
aims of the Central Empires. The
other six groups, comprising more
than half Of the population of Aus
tro-H Hungary, are in sympathy with
the Allies. through their afiliations
with the nations against whom they
are forced to wage war.
Thousands Of the Czechs and Slavs
have openly espoused the cause of
the Entente, and are serving in the
armies OF Russia. Serbia and Rum
ania. The Poles may be extermlnat-
ed, but they win never be made a
peaceful part Of the Austrian en-
pire. The Rumanians are naturally
in sympathy with their own nation.
while forced to bow to the rule Of the
Austrian emperor. Many Of the
Magyars. also. resent the stern rule
Of the Germans.
This Is great potential force
which may some day be OF great as
sistance to the Allies. II the Allies
learn to use the German weapon OF
propaganda, it is a rich field for q
fire in the rear OF the Central pow
ers. If material assistance and en-
couragement could reach these peo-
pies. Austria Hungary, already ex-
hausted by the war. might be
paralyzed with a revolution at home
It Is well worth while for the Ameri-

people. to make a study OF these peo-

8 Next Monday Canada win hold a

It is principle against q person

With any other man but Sir VIII

be q foregone conclusion. With Sir

into the scales, together with the
weight Of q solid anti-conscription
vote in Quebec with its sixty-fve as

not certain by any means.
The election will really decide
whether Canada will continue in the

IL might be interesting to Ameri-

campaign arguments is that Canada
has done her share until the United

reproach, but the supporters OF Sir

Grow dim or single star obscure,
But everywhere. on sea and land,

While Rockies rise and daylight dies
