TINE field of atrocities-where
Germany holds undisputed sway
has been extended to include

has been extended to include
such hated Americans as have
been taken prisoner. In spite of the
letters coming to America from inmates
in German camps, who without excep-
ton insist that they are we'll fed and
we'll treated, information is ftering
through that the pictures painted by
these prisoners, perhaps under compul-
sion are far from true.
Indeed, for fiendish cruelty, the Hun;
according to reports, is quite out-hun-
ming himself in his treatment Of prison.
ers-especially American, British and
Czecho- Slovak. The devilish tortures
inflicted on prisoners may possibly be
part of a wel-defned plan of German
military commanders to give the Central
Powers a club to hold in the German
American conference on the exchange
and treatment Of prisoners, which is to
convene at Berne, Switzerland, on Sep
tember %.
Referring to the American commits
sion to this conference, "The Memphis
Commercial Appeal writes:
"The personnel of the colnlniss ION has been
completed and is a strong body of men,
headed by John W. Garrett. Out of this
conference it is hoped will come better con
ditions for those of men unfortunate
enough to be captured by the enemy. Ger
tainly tremendous effort will be made to
put things on more humane footing
But. according to information reach
ing 'The Indianapolis News" there Is
a strong sentiment in Germany against
the exchange of American prisoners.
The "Yanks" really ought to be contin-
ued in the courses in kultur in which
they have been involuntarily enrolled.
From this paper the following is quoted:
"a Bremen newspaper thinks that it would
be unfortunate for the American prisoners
in Germany if they were exchanged. In the
first place. they are now working for the
Fatherland, which, of course, is, from the
German point of view, the highest service
they could render to civilization. There is,
it seems, for them, sufficient employment
on the eastern labor market and in agr-
cultural enterprises behind the front But
the prisoners are getting valuable COM
pensation for their labor. 1t will says the
Bremen paper, do the Americans powerful
lot of good to acuuant themselves with Kul-
tur from the fountain-head.'
I'VE have no doubt that Kultur is found
in its highest flower in the German prison
camps, mines and forests where prisoners
are forced to work. But, after all, it is not
necessary to be prisoner in Germany to
learn what German Kultur is The men in
our armies are already familiar with 1t.
They have seen hospitals bombarded and
the Red Cross fired on. Also they have seen
German machine gunners seeking protection
behind the Red Cross emblem.
every day the evidences of German Kul-
tur are forced on them. Looted homes, out
ragged women, mAtiiated children starving
old men and women, devastated towns and
country sides. all have testified to German
Kultur. If there is anything in the world
more hateful and odious do not know
what it is.

cause is not likely to be neglected by this
country The superb courage and patriotism
of the recent victims of an Austrian court
martial appeal profoundly to our sympa-
tines, and although the two Kaisers nay
barter away the Polish throne, each in an
attan1pt to save his own, the bargain will
never be ratified. Poland will once again
be united and free, thanks to the steadfast
endurance of her peoples wherever they may
be, and to the determination Of the Allies"

north DAKOTA PEN
May QUIT BUSINESS
Boarding Out" Of Prisoners Nav he
Asked to Save Expenses

Bismarck, N. D. Nov. 26. = Tho
next session of the legislature will
probably be asked to pass laws pro-
viding for the boarding out" of pri-
soners who may be sentenced to serve
time for crimes committed in North
Dakota.
Members of the budget board, now
IN session here, call attention to the
fact that the overhead expenses of
the state penitentiary are nearly as
much with small number of men
in the institution as they are with q
full house or about 500 inmates.
There are only los in the institu-
ton at the present time and it is
stated that it costs, with the present
high prices, on an average of $50 per
month to feed and clothe each prison
er. 1t is the hope of the state bud
get board that some arrangement can
be made whereby penitentiaries in
other states will keep the prisoners
and pay for the privilege, on account
of the work the North Dakota con
victs may be able to do.
If the plan works, North Dakota
will be the only state in the union V
have closed penitentiary-impossi-
bic to get into or out Of.

BELOVED SURREY GIRL
ANSWERS SUMMONS
Miss Tossie Willis Young, Daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. s. Young
Has Passed to the Great
Beyond.

Miss Tossie Willis Young. eldast
daguhter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. S,
Young, passed away at her home at
Surrey Tuesday evening at $3.50
o'clock, following an illness Of about
three weeks.
Miss Young bore her suffering with
patience and Christian fortitude and
realizing that she was soon to answer
her Masters call, said that she was
ready to go.
Short funeral services are to be
held at the Young home this after
noon at 1:30 o'clock. Owing to the
prevalence of influenza in the Surrey
district, the funeral will be attended
by only the relatives and a few of
the closest friends. Elders D. M.
Shorb and D. T. Dierdorff will preach
short sermons after which the remains
will be taken to Fargo, the former
home, for interment.
Miss Young was born in Winnipeg
l28 years ago and when but young
girl, moved with her parents to Far
go, where she lived for years. About
eleven years ago, she came with the
other members of the family to Sur
rey where her father has been at the
head Of the First State Bank since.
Miss Young has been the moving
spirit in social circles at Surrey. She
had always taken the greatest inter
est in school and church entertain
ments' She was a young woman of
Unusual musical ability and often en-
tertained her friends, who were leg
ion, with her accomplishment. She
was forever doing some act Of kind
ness for somebody. 1t was visit
to the sick, flowers for those who
were i'll, kind word here and there
and little acts of kindness to bring
pleasure and brighten the spirits of
those who might have reason to be
downcast. She was friend to all and
when the word went out that Tossie
Young was no more, hundreds shed
tears in remembrance of this remark
able and lovable girl.
Miss Young is survived by her par
ents, two sisters, Enid and Norma and
three brothers, Meredith, Kayle and
William, Jr., who have the heartfelt
sympathy of all.

llN0T AUT0C0. PLANS
ON BIG 1919 GAINS
More Than Thousand Overland Cars
Will be Ordered for the Season
The COmpany's Tractor Busi-
ness is Growing Fast

The Minot Auto Co. are laying
plans for big business for 1919.
L. c. Stearns, who is at the head
of the concern, will attend a big
meeting of managers and statesmen at
the factory at Toledo, O. on Dec. 4,
at which time orders will be placed
for the various models for the COM
ing year.
The Minot Auto Co. sold 23OO Over
lands in 1916, but conditions were
such that the sales fell to 1900 in
1917, and last year as everyone knows,
the automobile business was very
small with all dealers because of local
conditions and because a sufficient
number of cars could not be secured.
Conditions for the automobile bust
ness for the ensuing year however,
appear very bright, and the Minot
Auto Co. will place an order for not
less than thousand cars. The num-
ber is apt to exceed this by several
hundred before the season is out.
The Minot Auto Co. have developed
very extensive tractor business dur
ing the past year. This concern han
dies the Plowman tractor, manufaci
ured at Waterloo, la. The Plow-
man tractor has made fine record as
many will recollect at the state tract

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
POINT IS ESTABLISHED
Marriage of Minot Man Who While Living Minnesota
. Signed Contract With Missouri Girl i. Held Valid

That a man and q woman, one liv-
ing in Minnesota and the other living
in Missouri may become legally mar
ried by each one merely signing q con-
tract, has been established by q de-
cision handed down in the United
States Court of Appeals. This is the
first time that case of this par
ticular nature has ever been brot up
in the United States, altho several
states have recognized the common
marriage for years, but never was the
fact established before that such q
marriage could be consummated where
the parties lived in separate states.
This would not have been the case had
one Of the parties lived in North Da-
kota, for instance, for this state does
not recognize common law marriages
as being valid.
Two years ago, Edward R. Spiers,
who was connected with the Northern
Produce Co. of Minot, was instantly
killed in the Great Northern yards in
Minneapolis when a train crashed in
to coach in which the young man
was riding. Spiers had just accom-
panied car load Of poultry to Mime
apolis from Minot.
It was announced at the time that
the young man had a wife living in
Knasas City, Mo. He carried 1000
life insurance in favor of his wife.
VIM. Hox, manager of the Northern
Produce Co. at that time, turned over
enough of the young mans personal
effects to County Judge VIM. Murray
to give the Judge jurisdiction over the
settlement of his estate. The par
ents of the young man, who claimed
that he had not been legally married
brot an action in the Ward county
court, endeavoring to get possession
Of the inusrance money. Palda &
Aaker appeared for the defendant,
