PLAN A TO TURN R \
CONGRESS INTO
Bic [ C..C|'a||.AIU|:|TAOQUA

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-Con-
gress, may turn itself into great
chautauqua when it finishes it's work
here, to enlighten every section Of
the country on the need of prescott
ing the war vigorously, not only as a
war for world democracy, but as a
fight for American rights and preser-
walton.
President Wilson himself may "do
his Bit. in the same direction, pos
sibly by a speech on some occasions,
or by letter to congressional lead
ers.
Plans were in a nebulous state to-
day, but the, undercurrent in official
quarters was toward such a move.
Congressional leaders were talking
of practically putting congress on the
stump. by asking every representative
and senator to 60 through his district
during the recess, speaking on the
part. of the United States in the war,
and emphasizing that the United
States is fighting for future, not of
the world, but of itself.
Those who favor the plan point out
that the country is hearing many agi-
tators who oppose the draft and par
ticipation in the war They think that
the people, should hear some things
of the other side of the question, and
from official sources.

Alfred Anderson Goes to Havre,

Mill Proposition

Alfred Andersen, who for more than
year has been promoting the flax
possibilities of. the Slope country, was
called west last evening to Havre,
Mont, in response to wire from JON
as Brolin, former Duluth linen expert,
and recently engaged in the tow bust
ness at Baker, Mont. Mr.. Brolin wired
his former associate that a number OF
eastern capitalists interested in estab-
fishing large tow mill regarded fav-
orably the advantages offered by Bis
marck and were anxious to meet Mr..
Andersen.
The tow mill enthusiast left on No.
1 last evening armed with mass of
data, all of which tends to prove that
Bismarck with it's seven conyerging
lines tapping 10000 square miles OF
North Dakota's best flax country, is
the logical location for a mill. Bis
marck has a 15-cent rate on tow to
St. Paul, and flax straw can be
brought in to this point verv "'' -r,aply
