PRESIDENT GIVES UP
LIBERTY LOAN TOUR
War Work in Washington Will Not
Permit Him to Leave-Would
Like to Meet People.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-President
Wilson, in announcing on Monday that
he had abandoned definitely plans for
a anS-cOntinental tour for the fourth
Liberty loan, said he was convinced
that it was not right for him to be
absent from Washington for more
than a day o. two at a time While the
war continues.
The president said he keenly felt
the privatiOn of being confined to the
capital, but that it was impossible for
him to deal with important war ques-
tons by telegraph or at a distance
from sources of information which ex-
ist only here.
II had hoped, anu had even begun
to plan,' the president said, "a trip
to the western coast and back in con-
nection with the campaign for the
fourth Liberty loan, not because | be-
lieved that the country had any need
of being stimulated to subscribe to
that loan by anything that could say,
but because [ coveted the opportunity,
to discuss with my fellow citizens the
great undertaking which has made
such loans necessary and in which our
whole energy and purpose are enlisted.
1T is the third or fourth time that
| have tried to persuade myself that
such a trip was possible for me with
out serious neglect Of my duties here
because / have keenly felt again and
again the privation of being confined
to the capital and prevented from
having the sort of direct contact with
the people / am serving which would
be of so much benefit and stimulation
to me.
''To my deep regret, 1 find that
must again give the idea up. The
questions which come to me every
day, many of them questions of the
utmost delicacy and involving many
critical matters, convince me that it
is not right for me to absent myself
from Washington for more than day
or two at a time while the war con-
tinues. Questions concerning our
dealings with other governments in
particular, it is impossible for me to
deal with by telegraph or at a dis
lance from the many sources of infor-
nation which exist only here.
II should feel myself an uncOnsci-
entious public servant if / yielded to
my wish in this matter and took any
chance of neglecting even for a short
time things that must be decided
promptly and in the presence Of all
the facts"

Britain's Indians.

The Indians in the British army on
the western front, notably the SiKhs,
that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM
non with the American red men. They
come from the other side of the earth
they are sons of q deeply religious
sect, and for so years or more have
been an important factor in the Brit
ish dominion Of the far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most Of them with boards, and
IN perfection of drill and military bear
ing they are not excelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods Of fighting
are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian is q
flexible unit, there is one thing in
which they are very much alike. AS a
humorous English writer-Punch and
its punsters still live-puts it:
~ have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians Of the East and the
Indians of the West, and while they
are very dissimilar in most things,
when it comes to courage, I may be
excused for saying that it is Sikhs Of
one and half dozen Of the other!'

The following would be almost I'M

COllamore Of LincOlnville, who in the
winter, with his wife and two children,
makes his home on the island in q lit
tie cottage.
On Wednesday, January %, he took
the boat and started for Islesboro.
Three hours were taken in making
the trip of three miles by water. He
came back and upon landing and pull
ing the boat up onto the shore on
Mark island he pulled the boat over
onto him, pinning him down and break
ing his leg. His wife kept looking for
her husbands return and finally, at
tracted by his grOans, found him
pinned under the boat. She is a frail
woman but with him hanging onto his
injured limb, she managed to drag him
up to the cottage. There with the aid
Of leather wallet and sticks she set

were practically isolated and help was

turned on every light in that big house
and put on also a red light. The
lights were run all day Thursday and
not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon
was the light noticed at Dark Harbor.
Telephone calls were sent to the naval
station and the tug Zizania started to
Dark Harbor to see what was the
| trouble. Dark HarbOr was reached
about 8 80 Thursday night. There no
one knew what was the trouble at
Mark island. The Zizania cut her way
through the ice, in some places and
10 inches thick, for three miles to the
island. Captain Sherman and nine
men went ashore. They made their
way to the lighted house and there
found no one. Cropping along in the
darkness they were frightened by the
sudden uprising of a flock of turkeys
from a tree. Then they came upon
the cottage in total darkness with the
| door open but no signs Of life about.
Going in they found the courageous
little woman asleep, the injured man
half asleep and both children slumber-

brought back to Mark island. The

WILSON ORDERS :
MAKING Of BEER
STOPPED ON DEG. |
Action Taken by President to
Conserve Grain.
SENATE PASSES DRY BILL
Final Effort Made to Postpone Effec-
tive Date of Prohibition LeqisIa-
ton to December 80, 1919, Is
Defeated.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Manufacture
Of beer in the United States will be
prohibited after December 1 next as
war measure.
The food administration announced
on Friday that the manufacture OF
beer and other malt liquors will be
prohibited after December /. as war
measure.
Senate Passes Dry Bill.
The $12,GOO,OO0 emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill with it's rider
for national prohibition from next July
1 until the American armies are de-
modified after the end of the war was
passed by the senate without roll
call.
Before final passage of the measure
the senate voted, IS to 6, to retain the
prohibition rider. A final effort to
postpone the effective date Of the dry
legislation to December 80, 1919, was
defeated.
Bill Goes Back to House.
The bill now goes to the house, and,
because of the many amendments IN
serted by the senate, it undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibition
leaders, however, expect the house to
agree to the dry rider, so that there
will be no possibility of changes being
made by the senate and house mana
gers.
Senators voting against retaining the
S,,~~ toll IN @ho nd
gee Of Connecticut, Gerry of Rhode
Island, Phelan of California, Pome-
rene Of Ohio, Ransdell Of Louisiana
and Underwood of Alabama. After
passace of the bin the senate con-
ferees-all regarded friendly to the
legislation-were appointed: Gore Of
Oklahoma, Smith of South Carolina,
Smith of Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa and
France of Maryland. How long the
bill would be in conference was re-
garded doubtful.
Seeks to Conserve Grain.
President Wilson's death decree for
beer was based upon the need of con-
serving grain for stock feed, the sup
ply of which has been diminished by
drought, of conserving fuel, of lessen
ing the transportation burden of the
railways land of diverting the labor Of
nonessential industry to uses inciden-
tai to the conduct of the war.
AS a result of the presidents action,
the supply Of malt liquors is likely to
be exhausted before the country goes
bone dry, July 1, under the terms Of
the "war prohibition" BILL
The manufacturers Of soft drinks
and other beverages and the bottlers
Of mineral. waters are also warned
that they also will suffer curtailment
of fuel and containers. Breweries and
other plants thus put out Of business
will be utilized by tn government so
far as possible for w r purposes.

FRONT STREET
NAY Be PAVED
City Commission Names
Committee to Make Sur
vey of Situation

Front street, west OF Tenth street
and extending to the city limits at
Seventeenth street, may be paved in
1919.
The matter was informally dis
cussed by the city commission this
morning after G. A. Wheelock and
w. A. Mcmillan, representing the
Fargo Automobile Dealers associa-
ton, appeared before@the commission,
and suggested that the street be
graveled to remedy a condition which
made the street very unpopular for
travel They declared that in rainy
weather the street was almost i'm
passable, and submitted figures show
ing that grayeling could be done at
an expense of approximately $4,000.
Members of the commission ex.
planned that the street was a filled
street and probably would not hold
gravel. w. b. Stevenson, acting city
engineer estimated that paving
would cost approximately $4,000,
half of which expense would be borne
by the Northern Pacific Railway Co.
G. M. Strate, commissioner Of
streets, and Mr.. Stevenson were
named to confer with Messrs, Whee-
lock and Mcmillan on thorough
survey of the situation. and report
at the next meeting.
