He explains that when taken to the
field hospital, all of his cloth
ing and personal effects, even to his
fountain pen were taken from him and

painful wound, tho not serious, a lit

BAN ON UNNECESSARY
NOISE AND FAST DRIVING
Special Man Has Been Placed on the
Street to Arrest ViOlators of the
Anti-NOise and Speed Ordi-
nances.

The "Big Noise" committee from
the Minot Rotary club met with some
of the city commissioners Monday eve
ming and took up the proposition of
Graduating the unnecessary noise
made by the drivers of autos, auto
trucks and motorcycles in this city.
For a long time, thotless drivers nave
been running with their mufflers cut
out. Engines have been raced and
needless noises made by the machines,
disturbing the people in hotels and
flats. There is an ordinance providing
for a severe penalty for it's violation
and the city commission propose to
see that the ordinance is rigidly en-
forced.
Police Commissioner Scofeld has in
serted in the local papers a notice
warning all violators that they will be
arrested and fined.
The speed ordinance will also be
enforced and Commissioner Scotield
has placed man on the streets to ar
rest anyone who does not heed the
warning. Any violator will be arrest
ed. No favoritism will be shown.
Plenty of warning has been given and
if the drivers don't heed it, they will
have only themselves to blame if they
are called up on the carpet.

Walter Thomas Mills, Nonpart-
isan league lecturer, spoke at the
Armory hall here last Tuesday at
noon. The lecture was attended
by large gathering of farmers
and citizens of Wahpeton. Mr..
Mills declared that Russia is not
governed by il mob, but is in the
hands of a wcll-governed group
which is willing to make any sacri-
flee to obtain democracy. He said
our government sent Il commission
to Russia to teach that land dem
ocracy, but that there was only
one member of that body who
could understand what it was try
ing to do. Mr.. Mills said peace.
when it comes, will be built on the
brotherhood Of nations. which
means the creation of a world
power to investigate and settle all
questions on international disputes
and the power to enforce obedI-
cnce to these questions. He said
such power must represent all
nations and cannot exist except on
the basis of international Justice.
He stated that existence is impos-
sible without government for some
one must control the things thu
people use and the things people
do. There are but three ways. ar-
cor,ling to the speaker. which this
control may be obtained. and that
is through unanimous consent.
through minority rule or through
majority rule.
