Washington, Jan. 15.-One man con.

States was advocated Monday before
the senate military committee by Dan.

industries board, and Bernard NJ

Neither Mr.. Willard nor Mr.. Bar:
UGH favored separate department. pf

head, the plan proposed by Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the com.
mite, and opposed by both President
Wilson and Secretary Baker. Mr..
Willard endorsed the war department

organization plan submitted last week
by Secretary Baker, though he said it
does not go far enough in centraliz-
ing authority and is weak in reliance
upon voluntary cooperation.
Mr.. Raruch favored even more high

He said that the increase in rates
was caused by increased costs Of oper.
alton.
q. S. Allen, local attorney appearing
for several consumers, asking that the
matter be put over for a time to allow
a fair inquiry into the matter. He
stated that he was there to see that
justice was done to all and no one, he
asserted, was prepared at this infor-
NAL hearing to say whether the rates
were too high or not.
d.. The City's Power.
An opinion was read from the city
attorney stating that the city COM
mission only had the power to raise
or lower heat rates and that no author
ity over heat rates had been vested in
the state railroad commission, 1t was
stated by Mr.. Allen that petition has
been signed by Bismarck consumers
Of heat and light and power and filed
with the attorney general for "investi-
cation. 1t was minated by Commits
sioncr Best that the whole issue Of
rates would be fought out before the
state commission at some future time.
Commissioner Best proposed as a
solution that the Hughes Electric
Light company be asked to reduce it's
heat rates twenty-five percent, thus
twenty-five per cent in
crease instead of the present fifty per
cent increase over the old rates. He
withdrew this on suggestion Of Mr..
Allen that no action be taken until a
thorough investigation had been made.

how rapidly the country is plunging into
, state socialism. Such control is the next
step to state ownership with all its
perils and impracticable dogmas. Great
Britain has gone further In this direc-
tion than ourselves, owing to longer ex.
perience and greater strain. Already the
reaction against such movements is set
ting in, and complaints are multiplying
ii all directions, from labor as well as
capital, of the loss of industrial free
dom 1t should be insisted upon that all
commercial and industrial liberties with
drawn on account Of war should be re-
stored as pronptlY as possible when
peace comes.
General business has slowed down in
few lines; but, what with exceptional
prosperity in the agricultural regions
and throughout the great steel, textile
and clothing industries, the business out
look is generally satisfactory. These
conditions have impaired fresh conf
dence in the leading industrials, most
of which promise good returns, even
if war profits are on the wane. War
profits have never been fully reflected
in market values, consequently the stock
so much the stronger position. Many
Of the big industrials have increased
their assets tremendously by heavy ex-
penditures for extensions and improve
ments out of earnings; and not a few
are selling at very low prices eonsid-
ering their strong position and prospec-
tive earnings. Peace would sustain the
business of many of the industrials, be-
cause of the new foreign trade which
the war has brought % the United
States. Railroad issues which are selling
at the lowest prices in many years were
much strengthened by the prospect of
being guaranteed by the gov
ernment. The very severity of the late
crisis in railroad affairs has forced at
tention to theft critical situation and
brought change in public opinion that
promises more rational treatment by
both the government and the legislature.
A bill for naturalization of the rail
roads is about to be introduced, the
chief point of difference being whether
he time of their return to owners should
be decided by the president or fixed
in advance by congress. The only draw
backs to the business situation are
5he shortage and high prices of commo
lities, the arrangement of transporta-
ion and the coming of another big loan.
But these facts have been largely dis
counted ,and after several months of
liquidation the financial district at last
appears disposed to take more hopeful
views of the outlook. There has been
good buying of stocks during the last
week or two, and the declines were fol-
owed by frequent and well sustained
allies. Following the recent severe liqui-
lation, should peace soon come it would
induce higher prices for the
market in general; but such an upward
movement will of necessity be more or
ess affected by various phases of me-
rotations, as they progress or recede.

DEATH OF MRS. WALTER GRIM.

The sudden passing away of Mrs
Walter Grim last Sunday afternoon
came as a shock to her many friends
and family. Mrs. Grim was in the ma
ternity ward at the Hubbard hospital
She had just finished her dinner and
while laughing with Mrs. Schoor, sud.
denly grew sick and she said she feared
she would faint. Mr.. Grim was reading
in the office adjoining. DR.. Schoor was
quickly at her bedside and at once re-
cognized the inevitable. DR.. Weaver was
called to assist and it was soon evident
there was no hope. At three O'Clock,
about twenty minutes after the change
was noticed she passed away, and the
child, boy, at seven that evening. The
body lay in state in the K. P. hall until
"Wednesday.
The funeral services were held on
Wednesday morning, February 7, 1918,
at 1880 clock in the Methodist church
conducted by the pastor, Rev. II. O.
Cooper. The building was crowded with
those who wished to show their respect
for their neighbor and friend and sym
t,athy for the bereaved husband and rel

BELIEF IN EARLY WAR END
GROWS STRONGER DAILY
SAYS CLEWS, FINANCIER

New York, Feb. 8.-Belief that the
war will soon end grows stronger each
day. This belief is not entirely intuitive
and is largely based upon the break
away in Austria Hungary and the grow
ing dissensions in Germany, particularly
the great protests by labor in Berlin,
Hamburg and elsewhere, which may or
may not be exaggerated for effect here.
The Allies, no matter how weary, are
certainly in better condition to con
tinue the war than Germany, which is
slowly but inevitably drifting towards
some sort of collapse. 1t is well to re-
member, however, that Germany is pre-
eminently military power and being
such the only final argument that counts
is a blow. Militarism can only triumph
through force, and can only be defeated
by the same means. 1t is hardly likely
that Germany's military dynasty will
surrender until knockout blow has
been administered. No such argument
has yet been delivered, and probably
will not be until American armies have
reached France in sufficient force to
deliver it. Moreover, a military dynas-
ty, facing inevitable ruin, is quite likely
to sell its life as dearly as possible;
and the fact that the great majority
of Germany's strong men are in the
army, comparatively ignorant of the
state of affairs at home, makes it rea-
sonable to expect that the military pow
or will be exerted to the very utmost.
The most encouraging event of the week
therefore, was the arrival of number
Of American transports in France with
considerable body Of men. Our gov
ernment has been undoubtedly spurred
on by recent criticisms. and such dis
plays of energy will convince Germany
of our determination to win far more
quickly than any threats, implied or
President Wilson's announce
ment that he believed the war would end
this year was also assuring and mater
tally strengthened peace hopes.
The extension of government control
over industry moved forward very rap
idly. Within few days the oil indus
try has been placed under government
control; buying for the government has
been put in single hands; the coke in
dustry has fallen under government
and the shipping business
has come under q dictatorship. Still fur
bher proposals are under consideration;
one with a view to regulating security
issues through the Federal Reserve
Board, limiting them to essentials; an
other the creation of $500,OOO,0O0
banking corporation owned by the gov
,rnmeht with power to issue notes and
make advances for financing corpora
ions necessary for carrying on the war.
Other incursions of government into
business are evident in storage, dairy
PRODUCTS, coffee, etc. The result Of all
hese changes is an inevitable element
# uncertainty that materially restrains
,uture commitments. They must be re-
,arded as necessary evils and cheerfully
,ccepted as part of the sacrifices to be
made in order to win the war. At the
anne time, it is well to stop and reflect
