THE NEW PRESS ASSOCIATION
There is no law that we KIN

There is no law that we know Of to prevent any
number Of newspaper men from getting together and or
ganizing themselves into an association on any basis that
appeals to them. And If the men who are operating pub
locations conducted in the interest of the Nonpartisan
league wish to have an association Of their own. there ia
nothing in the world to hinder. But, as such an organ
ization has just been formed. following an abortive effort
to transform the North Dakota Press association into a
partisan body, a word of comment may be offered.
In the statement Of reasons for the creation of a new
organization the statement has been made that the North
Dakota Press association is chiefly a social organization,
ana there Is the inference that the need exists for an or
ganization which, whether social or not, will be of prac-
teal utility. The statement that the North Dakota
Press association is chiefly a social organization is utter
" unwarranted, and contrary to the fact. In common
with men engaged in other lines Of activity, the members
OF the association have usually had included in the pro-
gram for their annual meeting some form of social en-
tertainment. But the North Dakota Press association has
been and is distinctly a business organization. 1t exists
for the purpose Of aiding its = LENDERS in the performance
OF their work; of raising the standards Of the profession.
OF enabling Its members to conduct their business In a
manner consistent with the character Of the duties which
Deions 10 newspaper men. and Of securing for them the
recognition which belongsfto men engaged in an honor
able and useful occupation. To the working out Of these
purposes those who have been chosen to positions Of re-
sponsibiHty In the association have devoted time and
effort. and this work has been carried on at considerable
personal sacrifice to those engaged in it. II is scant
courtesy to- those who have been engaged in this work in
tho past, and to those upon whom its responsibility rests
now, to say that tho organization is chiefly social in
One of the cardinal principles Of the North Dakota
Press association IL that II shall be nonpartisan in char

SVS of the environs of Washington.
No man has been able to compile
complete list of the mills that were
run by the creeks that flow in the
neiehborhood of the capital. the
earliest settlers who came to these
parts. about 1850. erected mills. Mills
were destroyed by fire, were aban-
doned in some cases to decay and
sometimes were torn down to be
erected at another mill site. The
name of a single mill might change
a dozen times to agree with the name
of the new owner of the land or with
the name of a new miller. Water mills
were in operation on the site OF
Washington and on all the creeks
about the city from the time Of early
settlement until about the close of the
civil war, or until the milling indus
try was taken over by the great
Touring mills of the northwest.

date of the construction of the house.

one Of the leaders Of the German
drive through Belgium.
| He commanded the German army
that subdued the great French fort
ress at Maubeuge on the Belgian Dor
der. 1t was the fall of Maubeuge
under the unprecedented pounding Of
the new type of German siege guns
that led to the abandonment of fort
ress warfare in the present struggle
and the substitution Of trench fight
ing.
/, After the battle of the Marine, in
which Albrecht is not known to have
participated he was reported to have
been given command of the German
armies in Belgium. This post he did
not hold for long. One year later he
received from the kaiser the coveted
/ order pour lie merite, on the anniver-
sary Of the fall Of Maubeuge. AL
brecht's selection to command the
German line opposite the American
/ trenches means that he is to guard
the road to Metz, the great fortress
( in Lorraine.
Under American hammering, Metz
may prove to be Germany's Maui
beuge and Albrecht may suffer the
same fate he inflicted upon the
French and British which gained him
his reputation as the destroyer of
modern Notifications.
Albrecht is fifty-three years old and
is a widower. His wife and his
mother were born Austrian prin-
cesses. Albrecht does not belong to
the ruling line of the Wurtemburg
dukes, but is the son of the head
of the Wurtemburg ducal Catholics.
