Invited Into the White House.

The remaining "sentries" finally got
so cold that White House officials in
vited them into the Executive Mansion
to get warm.
The invitation was delivered person
ally by White House attaches and
could hardly have been extended with
out the authority of the President or
Mrs. Wilson. The leader of the sem
tinels said she would consult the lead
ers on whether to accept.

SUFFRAGE P|CKETS
Several Desert White House
Posts, But Others Brave
Piercing Wind.
HOT CHOCOLATE is SERVED

A cold. piercing wind almost demoral-
lied the suffrage p:ckets outside the
White House this afternoon. Several
deserted their posts, leaving their ban
ners hanging on the White House fence.
Those who persisted in remaining on
duty procured planks to protect their
cold feet from the pavement.
Several times they lodged inside the
White House grounds to hide from the
wind behind the stone posts fianking
the White House gates Waym-heart-
ed policemen turned their heads the
other way and apparently did not see
the invasion of the White House
grounds.
The suffragist sentinels took up their
respective posts at the two main entrances
to the White House grounds promptly at
10 O'Clock this morning.
At their headquarters. just across La
fayette Park the Sentinels were somewhat
tardy in gathering but they bundled up
warmly, swung their yellow, purple ana
white ribbons across their chests and ar
rived sharply at the hour. Realizing that
it might be advisable, because of the cola
weather, to move around Some instead Oh
standing still and silent as yesterday,
they also swung across their shoulders
strong leather flag bearers to hold the
banners

STATECAMPA Align
AT FARGO MEET

A meeting OF the executive commit
tee or the Democratic party was held
Friday evening at the Gardner hotel
In Fargo. for the purpose OF eonsid-
ering the general political situation
and 70 lay plans for conducting a
vigorous state campaign next year.
Among the prominent Democrats
present were III. III. Perry, national
committeeman, ]. Nelson Kelly, Of
Grand Forks. chairman Of the execu-
tive committee; Joseph NJ. Kelly, OF
Devils Lake, chairman OF the finance
COMMITTEES; George u. Duis. OF Grand
Forks, and S. ]. Doyle, OF Fargo. AS
one Of the results OF the gathering
II was decided to hold a mass meet
ing and conference Of Democrats Of
the state in the near future, at which
time plans for the coming campaign
viii be discussed.
When interviewed by a representa-
tive OF The Forum today National
Committeeman II. II. Perry said:
"The Democratic party Of North Da-
kota is somewhat perplexed to know
what political organization IL win
find itself arrayed against in the
next campaign. As the Republican
party has been absorbed by the Nom
partisan league, the only political
organization which stands Tor the
principles OF the Wilson administra-
ton is the Democratic party. Mr..
Perry stated further that IL was his
belief that all citizens Of North Da-
kota, who are in favor of the Wilson
policies, both foreign and domestic,
will be enrolled under the Demo
cratic banner in the next campaign;
for at this time in the crisis OF the
life of the nation the question of
party politics is of secondary con-
sideration, and all good Americans,
irrespective Of previous party afEilia-
tions, are standing squarely behind
the administration of President VIII
son."

ton OF ships, their crews and cargoes
was begun and the dangerous nature
OF many communications found on
ship board was Immediately disc
covered.
This action, taken suddenly with
out notice TO the crews, caused the
discovery of many letters which
heretofore had been successfully
concealed. These were subjected to
examination by chemists and code
experts and one in five was found
suspicious.
Most messages in invisible ink APP
parently were only personal COM
munications from persons in the
United States to friends or relatives
in Germany and, although super
hciaIly they bore no evidence OF
carrying valuable information to the
enemy, they were held up on the
ground that they might be danger
Gus.
Government agents have gathered
evidence that certain persons in this
country, many OF whom are Swedes
or Norwegians, have conducted a
money making scheme of transmit
ting letters to the northern European
neutral countries or to Germany at
high prices. BY this means the
British censorship in many cases was
evaded.
