Cross as Result of Phil
harmonic Excursion.

Forty-two members of the Phil
harmonic orchestra of this city went
to Devils Lake yesterday morning and
gave concert in the Grand opera
house of that city in the afternoon.
The Grand Forks musicians had a
most rousing and enthusiastic recep-
ton. and large -sized audience seated
in the hall that was conspicuous for
its excellent acoustics, never missed
an opportunity to show its apprecia-
ton of the offerings presented by tho
orchestra directed by Professor w. w.
Norton.
Time and again deafening applause
greeted the numbers Of the interest
ing program which consisted of most
Of the gems Of the repertoire Of the
orchestra, and many Devils Lake con-
noisseurs expressed! themselves ex-
tremely delighted at the concert.
Among the notable features. out
side the regular orchestral work. were
a cello solo by Katherine Harris and
violin solo by w. o. Schmidt.
The total proceeds OF the concert
amounted to about $500 Of which the
surplus, which will probably aggre-
gate little more than 5000 will be
donated to the Red Cross.

NOTED GERMAN
EDITOR LAUDS
Two SPEECHES
Wilson and Lloyd George
Statements Given Much
Space in Paper. o'

London. Jan. 2s. - Maximilian
Harden devotes thirteen closely print
ed pages in the latest issue Of Die
Zukunft to reproducing 1.-The real
texts Of the recent speeches of
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George. He says that thoughtful and
conscientious men should read the
speeches quietly and without preju-
dice and criticises in astonishingly
outspoken fashion Germany's attitude
toward Austria in the conduct of the
Russian negotiations.
Herr Harden virtually accuses Ger
many of forcing Austria Hungary into
the war and says that peace might
have been obtained the first week at
Brest-Litovsk il the Germans had not
posed as conquerors and had not de-
manded territory.
Referring to President Wilson'S
speech. Herr Harden says:
Belief Is still firm that peace is
possible and that the cleavage be-
tween the two fighting groups no
longer is so wide that it can be, filled
only by new heaps Of corpses. It will,
however, widen into an unbridgeable
gulf If the people again refuse to
acknowledge changed world
He pleads for the sanctity Of treat
les, a reduction of ornaments, the
right to self determination OF nations
and favors reconsideration of the
question of fAlSace-LOfraine.

FORTNIGHT WILL DECIDE
PEACE PARLEY BY SPRING
OR LONG-cONTINUED WAR

Tho possibility OF peace negotiations
before spring. or the certainty of an
indefinite prolonEation OF the war will
be definitely decided within the next
fortnight. according to the Adminlstra-
ton view as semiofficially given.
The issue will be determined solely by
the effect Of the peace aim statements
upon liberal political leaders and upon
the masses OF the people In Germany.
Up to today, there has been nothing to
Indicate that the full text OF any great
part OF the Presidents message has
been printed in Germany or Austria.
Apparently only those parts calculated
to spur the people TO n continuation Of
war have been. allowed to reach the
public.
All information reaching the Gov
Germany are bad. II is said. how
ever. that the President has not as yet
seen any indication that these con-
ditions are serious enough to offset
the increased strength % the mill
tarists.
To date there is no evidence coming
out OF Germany to indicate that the
Lloyd George and Wilson assaults
have added materially TO the success
OF the allies political Offensive.
The President is understood to be
seriously concerned over the wave OF
unJustified optimism which has swept
across the country follow ing the
peace aims statements by Lloyd
George and himself. This optimism
has at no time been eniss tanned by
those people closest to tha President.
