North DakOta's great two days war
conference most successful VEN
ture OF its kind in the history of the
zstate-came to satisfactory close
last evening with two monster mass
meetings which packed the Auditor.
sium and the Grand theatre to the very
doors, AS on Monday night, it became
necessary to close the doors to the
Auditorium long before the hour an
n0unced for the opening of Dr. Nor
ans address Every seat was taken;
every available foot of standing room
..had been requisitioned.
Between 800 and 500 workers in the
various var causes were brought to
the capital city for this conference.
They were truly representative men
and women who will carry home to
their communities the ginspiration
(which they have drawn from the sec.
ton meetings, when experiences were
exchanged and new ideas garnered,
and from the wonderful addresses of
Charles Edward Russell, Joseph c..
Grew, DR.. Henry C. Culbertson and DR..
James Moran-a galaxy of orators
whose equal never before had been as
sembled at one time in North Dakota.
All who participated are more than
satisfied with the results obtained
Secretary F. o. Hellstrom and the
North Dakota defense council have
.been literally commended by Presi-
.dent Wilson, Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board, Mr.. Russell and DR..
Moran for the intelligence and enter
prise displayed in staging such a meet
ling on such comparatively short no.
tice. esH
The loyal response of the Home
Guard units of the slope and from
points as far distant as Williston and
Lisbon was a gratifying feature. The
guardsmen contributed more than any
s::sother one factor to the success of the
conference. Their own section meet
ings were remarkable for their out
pourings of loyalty and enthusiasm for
! the cause of democracy.
IS The next big loyalty conference
will2be held In Bismarck following the
-spring seeding, .supplementing a state
I wide drive which will place On record
.1.es In thorough accord with the govern
-ment and anxious to give it his or her
most earnest support every loyal AM

and be 1t further y"
Resolved, that we guard ourselves
against incessant Misrepresentation
of German propaganda and the Ger.
man press agents In this country, un-
deceived by the attempts of these in.
strumentalities Of evil to undermine
our faith in our country, our cause
and our government, and that we con.
centrate our purposes and efforts, our
thoughts and our sympathies upon
the speedy and active prosecutions Of
the war, realizing that the spirit Of
our army at the. front will always be
and must always be no more than a
perfect reflection OF the spirit Of the
people at home
t"Resolved, that no matter what may
be the sacrifices or the cost, we must
win this war that democracy may be
truly safe and that there may be en-.
during peace upon earth and liberty,
the inheritance of all children of men.
Resolved, further that 1t is the
sense Of this war council that the
State Council Of Defense devote its
energies without reserve and without
protest to the faithful execution of all
orders emanating from any of the
administrative branches of the federal
government. s" -

gero9ras;]y

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2z.-On cross ex.
animation today John p. O'Hern, gen
eral superintendent for Armour e CO.
admitted that basic eight hour day
for stock yard employees would not re.
duce the packers output or interfere
with the adequate supply Of foodstuffs
to the, military forces of this country
during the war. 4 He said 1t simply
would cost more to operate through
the payment of extra compensation
for overtime. The witness explained,
however, that If the arbitrator's find.
ing was for basic eight hour day the
inference would be that the hours
are too long for the men to work. An
actual eight hour day, he said, would
seriously interfere with the efforts of
the packers to meet the. governments
and country's needs during the war.
Says Wages are Higher.
The cross examination Of the wit.
ness occupied practically the entire
day at the stock. yards wage arbitra-
ton. @a.r.' Z EGH&#
t"Do you agree with the report of
the presidents mediation commission
that the wages paid unskilled stock
yards laborers are Inadequate in view
of the increased cost OF living?" asked
Attorney Frank p Walsh. =
"They are in line with wages paid
by other industries for the same class
Of labor" replied the witness. "Our
scale may be slightly below the aver
age paid in Chicago, but I believe it
compares favorably in Kansas City,
Omaha and other outside cities. l
think the cost of living has increased
about forty percent. We have increas-
ed our wages 81 per cent in two
years. t6s
The witness admitted that the four
Increases made by the packers since
1916 had been decided upon without
consulting the men and without an in
vestigation regarding the increased
cost of living.

Simplicity Sign of Greatness

spiration to write. At such an hour
candies were as essential to him as a
pipe to many another chap.
"On Sunday mornings Wilkie Collins
went for long walk ACROSS the downs
with me, during which we would engage
in such childish pastimes as hiding
stones for rediscovery at some future
year, and gathering flowers, of which
the author was passionately fond. Like
Charles Dickens, Mr.. Collins had a
veritable gift for bridging the years
between his thought and mine, and the
sweet simplicity Of our intercourse is
the thing that has stuck like chestnut
burr to my memory.
GAS I recall them, one by one, it has
been the dominant characteristic of all
great men l have known, but of none so
exquisitely marked as in David Belasco,
whose simplicity is the major pattern
in his life fabric. AS the years have
accumulated their varying experiences
they have not succeeded in stripping
this master producer Of plays of one
iota of that direct simplicity which is
not only the chief charm of his art but
the most fascinating quality of his per-
sonal character. 1t is the quality re-
sponsible for the eternal freshness of
his work, his unfailing faith in the men
and women of the stage whose desti-
MES he guides, his unblurred visions
and his childlike enthusiasm.
"Do you wonder, therefore, that l
puff up with considerable pride and am
happy enough to cry when you tell me
that my work through the years sticks
in your thought because Of its fine sim
plicity?" Mr.. Mellish demanded Of the
writer.
"Why," he added, "to have laid SO
much as finger on the beautiful robe
of simplicity in art is to have touched
the hem of greatness!"

The book for "Toot- Toot!" is the
work of Edgar Allan Woolf, and while,

tied with having injected a world of
new and breezy action into the plot.
The lyrics are by Berton Braley, and
the musical numbers, which are said

Six Openings This Week

Arthur Hopkins will inaugurate
at the Plymouth Theatre, presenting
Nine. Nazimova in the first English
performance in New York Of "The Wild
Duck" Nine. Nazimova will enact the
role of Hedvig Ekdal. The part of
Hjalmar Ekdal will be taken by Lionel
Atwill. The company also includes
Harry Mestayer as Gregers Werle, bod
son Mitchell es Werle, ST., Edward
Connolly as Old Ekdal, Amy Verese as
Gina and Lyster Chambers as DR.. Rel
ling. Other members of the cast arc
Norah Lamison, St. Clair Bayfield,,
Adelbert Knott, A. 0. HUM, Frederick
Gibbs, Walter c. Wilson, ]. Fl. Wright
and George Paige.
"The Wild Duck" will be played for
several weeks at the Plymouth, and
will be followed by other dramas from
the 1bsen library. 1t is definitely de-
cided that Nine. Nazimova will be seen
as Hedda in "Hedda Gabler" and as
Nora Helmer in "a Dolls House." 1t
is probable that "The Master Builder"
and Ghosts" will also be revived. AL
though the exact dates have not been
set, the plays will be presented in the
above sequence.
The first performance Of "The Wild
Duck" was at Bergen, January 8, 1885,
and the play became Immediately popu-
| lar in the repertory Of other Scandi-
navian theatres. Upon the English
stage it has been successfully presented
by Laurence Irving and Granville
Barker, while various presentations
have been given in Germany, Italy and
Greece. The only performances given
hitherto in New York were those of
Rudolph Christians German COM
pany at the Irving Place Theatre last
season, and the only English presenta-
ton given in America recorded was
that by the late Wright Lorimer and
his repertory company in Boston and
Worcester ten years ago.
Hence the performances of this alb
sorbing drama to be given at the
Plymouth will mark the first presenta-
ton of "The Wild Duck" in the Eng
lish language at New York theatre.
The curtain will rise at $40 on &C.
count of the length of the play.
Henry W. Savage's latest musical
comedy offering "Toot-Toot!" will
