Ne Fear in
France Over
Subsea War
French Admiral Minimizes Eff.
feet of Germany's Unrestrict-
ed Use of Submarine
SAYS SHIPPING HAS
SUFFERED VERY LITTLE
UNITED Press)

Paris, Feb. 22.-"If Germany is
bearing hope that the submarine
blockade will cut off the Allies sup
plies and decrease their military
strength and then end the war, these
beliefs are misplaced. The submarine
campaign will never succeed Ad-
miral La Zezas gave this reply to a
United Press correspondent today,
when asked for message to the
American people on Frances view OF
the campaign. s..
ut is impossible for me to see how
the Germans see their new movement
is aimed at France and Italy," he con.
tinued. "On the whole, it cannot
change the conditions much from the
past. II the. people are looking for
the submarines to bring peace, let
them take cognizance OF the fact that
since the beginning Of the blockade
February /, about the same number
of merchant ships have been arriving
at our ports as before.
800 Ships Daily.
"The total was more than 500 ships
daily. That figure is about the same
now. Also since the beginning OF the
war we have doubled our seaboard i'm
ports. The blockade may reduce 1t
somewhat, but it is impossible for
Germany to abolish our imports. Take
the two main French imports, coal
and -four. The enemy has been able
to sink only a little over a half Of
one per cent,-.53 is the exact figure
ON the average for coal, while the
-four is a little less than one percent.
This -four does not equal the amount
that the French baker wastes. This
is the third time Germany has an.
nounced merciless submarine warfare.
Twice the climax Of violence has been
reached, but they were subsided."
The admiralty reiterated his belief
that the German propaganda Of sub.
marine warfare was never opposed in
German officialdOm. ~

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 22.-The peo-
pie Of southwestern North Dakota are
eagerly Watching each step which
brings nearer sthe realization Of a
normal schoolafor this section of the
stats.
The need of esnch sn institution is
urgent, for until it is provided, the
nearest institution for higher educa'
ton is Valley City normal, 257 miles
from Dickinson, which means that few
young people of the Slope counties
are able to secure these advantages.
The normal at Dickinson will change
all and make it possible for hundreds
to better fit themselves for LIES
work.
Majority Of Over 1900.
The people of the state at the No.
vember election authorized the Dick
inson normal and gave the amend
ment establishing this school ma
jority of over 1900, the largest ma.
jority ever accorded any constitu.
tional amendment. ....
The utmost harmony prevails at
Dickinson regarding the selection and
purchase of a site. all agreeing to
abide by the decision of the state
board Of regents, who will make the
final choice. Options have been Sc.
cured on five separate 60-acre tracts,
which viii be donated to the state alb.
solutely free. These sites vary in
price from $50 to 500 per acre, but
price does not concern the state, as
the committee. will present North Da.
kota with a warranty deed Of 60 acres
of the land finally selected, free of
cost.
Five Locations Suggested.
Two of the locations are ON the
western edge of the city; one east,
one northeast and the fifth south, on
the opposite side Of Heart river from
the city. The plan Of the state board
of regents is to come to Dickinson
and make the selection as soon as
the snow gets off the ground.
1t has been deemed best not to try
to open the school this year since any
appropriation would not be available
until July, and it would be impossible
to do things right and start the school
this fall. The work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, however, and
everything be in readiness for Sep
tember 1918.

mended $2S0,O00 for building, laying

closing days of the session. The sum
asked is not excessive and the need
