AMENDMENTS
ARGUED BEFORE.
SUPREME COURT
Argued that the Initiative
Amendments Improperly
Submitted to Voters.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. ls.-The
time of the supreme court was taken
up today with arguments on the ac-l
ton brought by Treadwell Twichel Of
Fargo to restrain Secretary of State
Hal from placing on The ballot for
ten amendments proposed by the
Nonpartisant league and embodying
the principal features of the. revolu-
tionarX state constitution which the
league sought to legislAte through the
last general assembly.
A. G.. Divet of Fargo represented
the petitioner. He consumed the entire
morning with his argument, which in
general followed the line adopted by
Bismarck in opposing the submission
Of the New Rockford capital removal
petitions two years ago. The one new
point brought out by Attorney Divet
was that The resolution for IN initia-
was not spread in full on the journal
Of both houses, as required by law,
and that the legislature. consequently,
did not lake proper action in the orig
|inal submission Of this amendment to
the voters.
: Other points argued by Divet were
similar to those in the capital remov-
al ase i. e., that the initiative amend
ment to the constitution was improp-
erly submitted'for the approval Of the
voters, in that the amendment, as
proposed, covered w distinct sub
jects; that he amendment makes no
provision for the submission of initia-
the legislature has provided no such
machinery; that the initiative amend
mont to the constitution is null and
void; that the amendment is improper
in hat 1t does not provide the secre-
tary of state with. any means Of de-
termining whether the signers of in
itiative petitions are voters or wheth-
in each county is the required num-
ber.
Assistant Attorney General Bron-
son, representing Secretary Of State
Hall, took up the argument for the
defense. In an opinion furnished Hall
last July. Attorney General LANCER
advised him that he would be safe in
ignoring the supreme courts decision
in the, New Rockford capital removal
case, and that it was not for him
(the secretary of stated to determine
whether the same law and the same
rules would apply in the matter Of
the league amendments as in the cap
ital removal case.
Townley Was Present.
A. G. Townley, president of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league; William
Lemke of st. Paul, chairman of the
republican state central committee Of
North Dakota, and one of the execu-
tive committee Of three which gov
erns the National Nonpartisan league,
and A. F. Bowen, clerk Of the last
house of representatives and one of
! Townley's chief l~ieutenants in the
I! league. were prominent spectators
during the argument of the case,
which Is to test the right to the
league to submit to the voters under
the initiative amendment to the North
Dakota constitution its proposed ten
to the constitution which
are believed to embody the vital fea-
lures of the famous House Bill ~, in
troduced at the last regular session
of the general assembly, passed by
the league majority in the house, but
defeated by the independent majority
in the senate.

federal railway officials said.
Instructions to modify the embargo
permit system are expected to be re-
ceived by Director A. w. Trenholm Of
the Twin Cities terminals this after
noon.
When the $4,000, 900 bushel storage
capacity in. Minneapolis and st. Paul
and that at Duluth is utilized, 1t is
planned that the regular federal on
troll through the individual shipment
permit system be re-instated.
The order will remain effective
against OmahA, Kansas City and the
other principal primary markets since
their storage capacity already is filed
and danger OF congestion must be
averted.
The modification in favor Of the
Twin Cities and Duluth markets is
held vital since serious restrictions on
marketing Of grain would prevent
farmers from readily turning their
products into money and would dis
turb northwest commercial condi-
tons, local business men said.

was sent out for in spite of the heavy
casualties suffered
Although reticcnt in commenting
upon casualties Of the Thirticth divi-
sion, Capt. Craig said he believed the
casualties would include from one
fourth to one-third of the division,
though many Of them would recover
before being sent home.

two years and presented very desc
late scene. At the time the Thirteth
arrived the British were daily expect
ing heavy attack by the Germans
and the sight of the stalwart Amer
leans greatly rejoiced them. The di-
vision remained here for some time
and, when the attack never came they
were moved up nearer the front.
Capt. Craig said that his battalion
was the first unit Of the Thirtieth to
enter the trenches, which was late in
June. The division was first under
she'll fire on Independence Day, July
d. AS soon as the men were in the
trenches they began to take great
delight in picking off snipers. The
very first day men from Company l.
killed two enemy snipcrs.
On July 20, just a month after his
entrance into the trenches, Capt.
Craig contracted malady which was
thought to be trench fever. Physi-
cians later contcnded, however, that
he must have been gassed in some
way, as he contracted bronchial asth-
ma. He was evacuated from his COM
! pany and sent to the American base
hospital in France. He remained
there until November, when he was
sent to America.
Capt. Craig raid a high tribute to
the courage and bravery of the en-
listed men. "Whcn the histories of
| this war arc written the honor for
victory should be given to the pri-
Yates and corporas and sergcants, -
he SAID. "They are the men who have
done the fighting. They are the bray
est set Of boys in the world and every
| person in the United States should
| honor them. | never saw yellow
man in the Thirticth division. I never
saw man in Old Hickory wall when
he was wounded. | have seen men

! TO wager that for every casualty in

cncmy's."
Capt. Craig told of the heroic act
of Scrgt. Gardner, Of his company.
During an attack early one morning
Scrgt. Gardner was leading his pla-
toon just behind the creeping barragc
when they suddenly ran upon machine
| gun interference. The German gun
was hardly twenty yards away. Sergt.

drew his revolver and in four clean

In conversation yesterday Capt.
Craig told of the wonderful work of
the North and South Carolina and
Tennessee men of the Old Hickory
Division IN the war and expressed
regret that he was not able to be with
them at the memorable date when
they completely shattered the linden
burg line. "You have never seen
such courage, such absolute loyalty
as these men displayed, and they have
accomplished a feat that generations
will herald" he said. "Whcn they
