President Carranza left the presiden-

Acute Crisis in Paper.

The Express says that there is an
acute crisis in the paper trade in Great
Britain, owing to submarine activities
and that imports of raw material have
almost stopped. Several paper mills
have been obliged to close and imports
in the last few weeks were only 10 per
cent Of the restricted amount allowed
by the government.
There is no prospect of improvement
as every ton of shipping will be needed
henceforth for food. A further reduc-
ton in the size of the newspapers is
considered inevitable. Paper which
before the war cost the newspaper pub
fishers 2 cents a pound is now cents.
Ship Losses appalling"
Admiral Lord Beresford, speaking in
London and complaining of the incom-
pleteness of the official returns of the
submarine sinking, said that the losses
were appalling. He declared that he
was so keen on the matter that he was
inclined to risk the penalties of the
defense of the realm act and tell the
people himself. because. until they were
informed. they would not realize the
Importance of economy.

nv tho Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. May Important reor-
carnations of the staff and methods
Of the admiralty will shortly be put
into effect for the purpose of meeting
the submarine menace, according to the
Daily Mail. The changes are being
MANNED by Premier Lloyd George in
collaboration with Sir Edward Carson
and the war cabinet. The premier late
" has been Aevoting much attention to
the problem and has directed important
INQUIRIES with a view to the introduce
ton of new methods.
An examination of the administrative
machinery with which the admiralty
has been fighting submarines in the past
is said by the Mail to have convinced
the premier that a reorganization Is de-
sirable. The paper specifies two dlrec-
tions in which important changes are
contemplated, namely, the admiralty
inventions board. of which Lord Fisher
is chairman, and the department on
control of sea traffic. The Mail claims
that the direction of sea traffic has
been inefficient owing to failure to
realize the great proportions OF the
submarine menace.
Carson Also May Quit.
One rumor points to the early resig-
nation of Sir Edward Carson. The
Times claims to have authority to state
that there is not the slightest difference
beween Sir Edward Carson and his col
leagues, either regarding the naval
policy or any other issue, but adds:
IF Sir Edward Carson should desire
to leave the admiralty, which is likely
enough, it would be for entirely differ
ent reasons. He is being attacked on
many sides for various motives, and al
though nobody is more hardened to
criticism he may conceivably feel that
the work of the navy is prejudiced by
his prominence in controversies with
which sailors are not concerned" (The
latter remark is accepted as an allusion
to the Irish question:
After saying that Sir Edward Carson
holds the confidence and respect of the
navy the Times continues:
1T is quite certain that he would
gladly hand over the reins at any
moment if he thought thereby to
strengthen the government or facilitate
the work of his naval colleagues. His
resignation. so to speak. has always
been at the premier's dispofal and that
fact lies at the foundation of every
rumor."

and others appeared to be little more
prosperous than usual at about that
time, and one could only conclude that
the Alabama congressman wanted to
place the North Dakota congressman
and others in bad light. Hefllin re-
fused to make any direct statements
but insisted that an investigation be
made by congress. Representative
Norton walked to the side of the house
where Hetin was doing some writing
and asked Henin if he had accused
him Of disloyalty. Hefin replied that
he had not and ordered the North Da
kota representative to return to his
side of the house. The men clinched
and fell to the floor, creating consider
able excitement Hehin was not bad
ly injured and considering the Odium
that he attempted to attach to the
good name of Congressman Norton,
the latter's many friends in North Da-
kota feel like patting him on the back
for making the old hegossip retract
his libelous statements. Congressman
Norton's loyalty has never been ques-
toned in North Dakota and his record
has been carefully watched.

publication of the large number of
American soldiers who are in France
is not permitted, but out of the entire
lot there have been but seventeen

but trivial nature, the only serious
offense being that of assault with
criminal intent on a French girl The
guilty culprit was arrested, promptly
tried and sentenced to serve thirty
years in the federal prison at Leaven-

North Dakota is larger than the

nearly as populous. Iowa has any
number Of cities of forty or fifty thous-

larger North Dakota's largest city is
Fargo with less than 10000 population.
Grand Forks and M1not come second,
with Minot in the act of nosing ahead.
There are other fair sized cities. Be
fore many years, North Dakota will
boast of dozen or more cities with
upwards of twenty thousand popula-
ton and as our farming, coal mining
and other industries become better de-
veloped, there are certain to be two
or three cities of forty or fifty thous-
and population. Minot is bound to be
one of them and very likely will some
day be the metropolis Of North Da-
kota.

The campaign for the second Lib
erty Loan is on. Plans are being made
to raise three billion dollars by sub
scriptiOn and treasury officials have
set the amount expected at five bill
lions. The loan is expected to be rails
ed in a month and interest to be at the
rate of four per cent is offered The
loan will be raised. Germany is watch
ing us. We cannot afford to be pen
uriOus. The war cannot be won with
out the expenditure of billion dollars
and should we lose the war, our
wealth will be confiscated. We might
just as well face the situation square
ly and come thru with a smile. Bonds
will be issued in denominations of
fifty dollars
The new issue will differ from the old
in two important particulars. First,
the interest rate is per cent instead
of 3 12; second, these bonds will be
taxable under conditions which did
not render the former issue so liable
Under the terms of the former issue
the bonds of the first loan may be ex-
changed for those of the second, thus
@nabling the subscriber to avail him
@atf Of the higher interest rate. At the
same time this privilege also is ex
tended to the bonds of the new issue,
so that it, during the period of the war
should bonds be issued bearing a still
higher rate, those now to be issued
could be converted into bonds of the
later issue. This arrangement has
been made in order that those who
subscribed to the earlier issues may
not receive any injustice in the matter
of interest rates.
In the matter of taxation the new ar
rangement is better than the old The
exemption of bonds of the first issue
from all income taxes made it possible
under certain conditions, for individ-
uals Of great wealth to escape taxes
which would otherwise be imposed up
on them. The new bonds will be ex-
empt under the income tax from what
may be known as the straight income
tax, but will be liable for all surtaxes.
This removes an objectionable fea-
ture.

THE MAN WHO MAKES GOOD

THE MAN WHO MAKES GOOD
When man fails 70 make good. he
begins to make excuses
After while he gets SO handy at it
that he can excuse his failures day
after day and never repeat himself.
Which shows that all we need in
getting skill is practice.
We are inclined in these days to
wish that the burden of lifes respon-
sibilities were lighter; we believe that
never before has it been so hard to
succeed; never, we say to ourselves,
has a man had to fight SO strenuously
for a fOOthOld and a bare living. To
make gOoG i'll these days takes more
out of a man than it seems worth
while. All the good chances are gone.
In the good old times things logged
along more easily and comfortably

And so on, a fair sample this of the
way the tune goes.
We think it was Mr. Schwab who
once said
"The common tragedy Of life is to
be unequal to the unexpected
And if we are quoting correctly, he
also said this:
Make a friend or misfortune; and
you will have a friend you can always
count on"
Now the object of this article is to
get before ourselves a few instances
of what men have been compelled to
do; men who forced themselves to be
equal to the Unexpected.
And before we begin let us agree
that men who are truly successful new
