One Hundred Mercitu1 Millions

By Herbert Kaufman.

One Hundred Millions for the Red Gross and not one
penny of it for red tape
The mghtiest charity, the noblest and broadest vol

The Red Cross shares enmit1es, serves flag
but its It is Gods agent, His healing, merciful
wthe answer Of twenty gentler centuries to red
barbarism.
Twelve million orphan children are wandering about
Europe-twelve million frightened little boys and ter
rorzed little girls sent adft to sob alone and perish in
the wastes-to live like swine and die like curs unless
magnificent America ranso1ns them from death-and
worse
How many of your plying dollars will search the
desoations and save them for Tomorrow's works?
The Red Cross needs another Hundred Million, to
CLEAN the battle for this precious seed before it
rots in mind and bodybefore grief and horror and dis
ease and unrestraint irrevocably blight them.
One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stife
pestilence to stamp out hideous fevers, to check
earth-wide Of tuberculosis to destroy shudderng
filths where verminous plaques feed and breed and
threaten all the universe.
One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build
rest stations to send to the Front and refugees
back to forward surgical units and furnish artificial
limbs, to buy medicines and operating instruments, to
re- educate the mutated and show the blind where
Hope still shines.

Doors in Chicago

Chicago, ILL.,, May 7.-Chicago's 400
cabarets passed out Of existence
yesterday when the city's anti
cabaret ordinance went into. effect.
The jazz bands are hushed and the
singers silenced. The cabaret which
had developed into a conspicuous
feature Of the city's night life is
dead. .....a... ......'.
AS a result of the enforcement of
the new law several thousand Of ex-
pert saxophone players, trick drum
mers, piano players and other must
clans are out of work and hundreds
of singers are idle.
Hotels, cafes and restaurants in
the downtown district which in the
past depended largely on the lure Of
cabaret entertainment to draw
patronage were comparatively de-
serted. The owners Of cabarets OBJ
1iged to close their doors accepted
the situation p1ilosophically and
viewed the future with doubt and
uncertainty.
Persons who wanted to dance were
compelled to patronize temperance

INTER VENTION
BY VATICAN IS
NOT IMMINENT
Favorable Occasion For
Peace Move Has Not
Presented Itself
(RY AaeoclaGed Press, }

Rome, saturday, May mo va
yorable occasion for a further peace
move by Pope Benedict has present
cd itself, nor does one seeem near, II
when inquiry was made there re-
garding the report that His Holiness
would make a new peace offer on
Whit Sunday.
1T is no secret" replied the vat
lean authorities of whom the CORES
pendent inquired regarding the re-
port that the pope, since the be-
ginning of his pontifcate, has inter
ested himself regarding three great
issues concerning the war-hrst, to
maintain absolute impartiality: Sec
ond, to limit as much as possible the
extent of the conflict and it's hor-
rors; third, to work in every way, on
every propitious occasion. to restore
concord and brotherhood among the
peoples.
Given this program, it is only
natural that should a propitious oc-
casion arise the pope would do his
best to carry 1t out.
ut is an easy task to prophesy
from time to time within a few
weeks or months, some new action
on the part of the pope which may
occur at any moment, IL q favorable
occasion arises, which, however, has
not yet occurred, nor does it seem
near"
The original report Of the immin-
ence OF q. new papal peace move
cams from q German source, In the
shape OF an article in The Neueste
Nanhrtchten, Of Munich, late in
April. This newspaper was quoted
In Amsterdam dispatches as stating
that the move would be made "as
soon rs the western offensive as
grred new phase" and that 1t
would take the form of "a word of
warning addressed to the universal
eonactealca."
Cologne newspapers have later
been quoted as declaring the pope
intended to make g. new peace offer
on Wait Sunday (MRy 1S), the doc
nu1snt to contain concrete offers of
mediation by the pope, 1t was said,
with the possible cooperation of
neutral soverelgna Berlin was re-
ported TO have received sympathet-
EcR4iY similar information as to the
pops8 supposed intentions.

Valley City, N. D., May T.
Colonel Frank White, former COVER
nor of North Dakota for two terms,
has arrived in France, to take his
place among the allied officers. News
Of Colonel Whites arrival reached
here last week.
Colonel White, recently home on
q leave of absence, acquired his
military training at the University Of
Illinois in 1878 and was graduated
from that institution in 1880. He
homesteaded in North Dakota in
1882, eight years later was elected
to the house Of representatives and
then the senate.
Colonel White was member Of
the national guard and was q former
captain Of Company G Of Valley
City. At the outbreak Of the Span
ish American war, he was major Of
the First Battalion Of the First
North Dakota, and saw active service
in the Philippines, and participate In
the capture of Manila. Later his
battalion had several engagements
with the Philippines. He was mus
tered out of service at San Francis
CO, September 1, 1899, and was elect

has been engaged in business here
as president OF the Middle West
Trust company. He is also interest
ed in the Security bank Of Sheynne,
Sheyenne, N. D., and the Farmers

leased from his banking institutions,
he accepted the colonelship OF the
Second North Dakota, and left with
his regiment on October 2, 1917, for
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c., but

Bismarck, N. D., May Us. a.
OIsnesg, state fire Insurance conn
missioner, today issued a statement
covering the recently established
surCl1arge OF 10 per cent, hxed by fire
insurance companies.
Mr.. OIsness details the happen
inEs at a conference called by the
insurance commissioner OF Minne-
sofa, at which he, the South Dakota
and Minnesota commissioners We're
present.
9"It was argued that the increase
In losses for the year 1917 amounted
to over $55 100000, more than for the
same period the year previous, and
thatthis was due to incendiarism and
other causes. owing TO the war,
says Mr.. Olsness
While this may all be true in
general. it is not applicable to North
Dakota with references ascribable to
the war, Fire Marshal Reed states
that so far as f1e knows, not sim
gle FIRE loss In our state can be di-
rectly laid to these causes.
Whether said surcharge is justi-
fed or not depends on whether the
rates in the past were just or excess
sive. One cannot help but ponder as
~ why IlIO CALESb 4EiLS 64lO0Al 4AOb cnp
ply to farm property, as well, es-
pecially in the Dakotas, for; accord
ing to the arguments OF these men
Cthe insurance mem the measure is
not a rate increase but one to offset
the extra cost of doing business DUR
ing the war. This, OF course, should
apply to farm. insurance as well.
This leniency toward farm property
Is all the more inconsistent in view
of the fact that many stock ir1sur-
ance men have claimed that they
are losing money on this class.
May 1t not be that the many
8a1un rnutuals with their splendid
protection, at nominal rate, act
as a regulator In this case?
EFT is to be hoped that the state
fire mutuals may see their way clear
to maintain the old rates, or rather,
to not add the sI1rcharge. If 80,
they would undoubtedly witness a
general increase in their business,
GAS stated before, having no super
vision Of rates, thought it timely
to call the attention OF the public
to those conditions. The raise Of
10 per cent to an already high cost
insurance will likely meet with dis
favor, but under the circumstances
we must accept, willy-niny"

STANFORD DEFEATS DUMMIES

In the first game of the season,
the Stanford boys came out victori-
Gus Friday afternoon in their bout
with the Kentucky School for the
Deaf. The afternoon was q little
chilly TO- baseball, and the fact that
it was tie first game for both teams
account fer the fact there were a
number of errors made. There
seemed 10 be no question, however,
of the superior work of the local
players, for although the Dummies"
got away 70 a one-run lead in the
second inning, Stanford came right
back in their half, and went them
one better. They were never headed
and when time was called were lead
ing by q 8 to 1 margin. Will Rein
hart pitched an excellent game for
Stanford, allowing but five hits and
striking put an even dozen batters.
Joe T. Embry was the bright partic-
ular star for Stanford in the field.
He made three catches, any one of
which would have done credit to a
major league player. In the third
inning this feet-footed left fielder
raced away out to the foul lines, and
lodging big flock of buggies,
caught Brissey's fly; in the fourth
inning he romped up back of short
stop and falling forward on his ell
bows, snatched Lowry's drive at the
edge Of the grass. Barron played
the best game for the D. & DIS.
The next game was scheduled with
