CALGARY STILL
: IN FLU'S GRIP

= Calgary, Alta, Nov. 20-Despite
the fight being made by provincial and
municipal health boards in the prov
ince, the epidemic of Spanish influ-
enza continues to rage throughout
Alberta. In Edmonton, a city OF some
10000 population. deaths have been
occurring at the rate of thirty a day.
That city, the capital of the province,
seems to be the center OF the dis
ease.
In Calgary, the deaths averaged
from ten to twelve a day recently,
although the population is nearer
10000.
The order for the wearing of influ-
enza masks is being rigidly enforced
in all cities, despite differences Of
opinion on the subject. More, than
\ hundred Calgary Citizens already
have paid tipeA in the police court for
falling to wsar 2 mask on the streets.

NEVER WILL SEE
RETURN TOPURE :.
WHEATEN FLOURS

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 2O.-Local
men who are prominent in the milling
industry are seemingly of the opin-
ion that all wheat bread will never be
as popular again as it was before the
war.
These millers have pointed out that
the change to normal conditions which
recently was permitted by the federal
food administrator will not cause any
disturbance to the flour industry
throughout the United States. Only
the small miller turned out mixed
flours, they said, and in their opinion
a number Of these millers may con-
tinue to produce the war time product.
One reason for this statement, it is
said, is the fact that small millers
have for some time been expecting
that the prohibition on the use Of
wheat flour would soon be lifted. 1t
is claimed that they took the matter
up with their customers and found
quite a difference of opinion regarding
the change. "
1t seems quite certain, at least, ac-
cording to milling men, that some
mixed flour will be turned out for sew
eral months at least to satisfy the de-
mands of consumers who learned to
like" the taste of war bread.

INSURGENCYIN
1 KIDDER, CAUSING
J HNOBIG ALARM

Nonpartisan league state officials
at the capitol are inclined to regard
with con>placency the "insurgent'
movement emanating from Kidder
county. "Its simply a plan to bring
the leagne members closer together
to make them a solder force-it's
nothing against .Townley," said one
state official who ranks very high IN
league councils 81 :
North Dakota remains the one safe
stronghold Of the league, and it does
not seem probable that Townley will
release direct control to any other
person or organization, in spite OF
the repeated rmuors to the effect that
$50 and So'' is to be made state man
ager for the league, and that the
North Dakota Nonpartisans are to
have an entity distinct from the ma
tional organization.
Frazier for the United States SEN
ate in 1920, and John N. Hagan for
governor" is one of the most inter
esting conjectures heard at the state
house just now. Hagan says he's not
hankering for any office, but would
be glad to return to the farm when
his second term as commissioner of
agriculture and y, labor is completed.
Howard r. Wood pro bably would like
to be governor, and tits likely he
could be if the league are still in
the saddle two years hence. Carl Ko'
sticky, state auditor, may also wax
ambitious, though he seems we'll pleas

DRY LAW GIVES
NEW INDUSTRY
TO MONTANANS

Helena, Mont, Nov. 20.-Discov-
cred! A new industry.
It is converting saloon furniture and
fixtures tor other sorts of commercial
and private use.
How to save something out of the
wreckq, when Montana's liquor empor.
iums close, Jan. l., has long been a
question. One brilliant idea Is to form
a company to reframe mirrors and
sell them either to stores or to pri'
vate individuals for home use. The
cost of mirrors has steadily risen OF
late years until many thousands Of
homes have none worth mention. It
is said that at slight expense, pan
ell mirrors from saloons could be con-
verted to dresser glasses.
A few saloonists, judging from COM
ment, mean to continue in their bust
ness with soft drinks or lea parlors.

would be mere drop in the bucket
why? Because 95 per cent of all
wealth produced each year Is consum-
ed that year, During the last four
years the world used up the surplus of
the previous 25 years.
Capital must give, a square deal to
the worker. If it tries to put labor
back to where it was before the war,
by lockout, the explosion will come.
"Bolshevism which says. Let's do
nothing but divide up what there is,' is
worse than capitalism, because under
such a regime we'd all starve to death.
II am glad that there are so few
in the United States at either extreme.
The vast majority Of American peo-
pie are In the middle Of the road.
They want to produce.

INFERIOR TO THE BRITISH
(British Wireless Seryice,)

London, Nov. 20.-Dr. Persius, the
German naval critic has chosen the
moment when the final vessels of the
navy are about to be surrendered to
the allies to publish in the Tageblat;
sensational article containing reve
lations of the German fleet. He said
the hope that the German fleet would
be able in a second Skageratt battle
to beat the British. rested upon the
Jluff and lies Of the naval authcri
ties.
In August, 1914, Germany had about
1000, 900 tons in warships, the writer
points out while Great Britain had
more than that, and thanks to the
mistakes of Admiral Won Tirpitz, the
German material was quite inferior to
the British.
In the Skagaratt battle he declared
the German fleet was saved partly by
good leadership and partly by good
weather conditions. Had the wealth
er been clear or the leadership less
able. the destruction Of the whole Ger
man navy would have resulted.
LOSSES ENORMOUS.
AS it was the losses Of the. German
| fleet were enormous, and It was cleal
to every thinking man the Skagaratt
battle must be the only general naval
engagement Of the war.
On all sides, continues the writer
Admiral Won Tirpiz was advised to
construct only submarines, but he re
mained obstinate. In 1915, several
naval authorities made an appeal, with
the result that an order was issued
terminating the construction Of bat
tleships, so the material might be
used for U-boats. In the meantime
such scarcity Of material had arisen

Der of battleships and take the metal
At the beginning Of this year, he
states, the German navy consisted

tvpe and some few battle cruisers. All
the ships which Won Tirpitz had con
structed from 1897 to 1906 at cost
of innumerable millions had been de-
stroyed and the U-boats that had been
constructed had been unable to
fight against British warships.

MENNONITES MAKE
PEACE IN CANADA
Proposals to Deport Conscien-
tious Directors Dropped

Winnipeg, Nov. 2O-Dominion Of
ficials seemingly, are of the opinion
that the Mennonite Colonists, who
caused the government much trouble
and considerable concern during the
last year Of the war, will remain in
the Canadian Northwest. During the
last ten days of the war the Men
nonites reached sort Of silent agree
ment with the government which
halted threats to force them to leave
the country.
The intense anti-war attitude Of this
religious sect was responsible for
most of the trouble. The Mennonites,
who have long been considered re-
markable farmers, refused to obey
conscription laws and declined to con-
tribute money to the government war
fund. Newspapers and patriotic or
ganizations throughout the Northwest
urge that the Mennonites be banished
from Canada.
While the last act of the war drama
was being staged, Mennonite leaders
agreed to ,constribute to government
funds, provided they were assured
that their contributions would not be
used for military purposes. The gov
ernment, it is understood, agreed to
disburse the Mennonite money for re-
lief work. This compromise, it is be-
lieved, has soothed public opinion to
an extent that no further demands for
the expulsion of the Mennonites will
be made.
1t has been noticed lately that the
Mennonites have been moving farther
westward and it seems quite certain
that their leading colonies will be in
British Columbia. It is understood
that Mennonite leaders are arranging
to colonize large sections Of British
Columbia, provided they are permitted
to establish theifo own schools fand
churches and to live unmoleGes oS
