FIREME|N WILL NOT
HOLD TOURNAMENT
Board Of Directors OF North Da
kota Association Decides on
War Measure.

The annual meeting of the state fire
board was held in the office Of Fire
Marshal H. l.. Reade. The board is
com 0osed of five members: President,
". T. Craswell of Valley City; secre-
tary, H. l.. Reade of Bismarck; and
trustees, r. E. Giese, Jamestown:
John Phimster, Glen Ullen and r. S.
Campbell, Lisbon.
1t has been the rule in times past
for the board to meet and transact
the regular business, but owing to
the fact that these are war times it
was thought advisable to call in 4
number of fire chiefs from the differ
ent sections Of the state to deliberate
with the members Of the board
Those who responded were Arthur
Bridgeford, Larimore; J. N. Kelly,
Grafton; e. P. Glasrud, Nort1lwood;
4. +. Goldamer, Lakota; f. H. Smith.
Willistcn; R. c. Fields, Beach; l.. c.
Ramsted, Hettinger; l.. D. Smell,
Devils Lake; R. l.. Nordal, Rugby;
r. S. Norton, Velva; and M. Tschide,
Glen Ullin; A. Currie, Minot, ana
Theodore Kahellek.
1t was the sentiment OF the board
and the chiefs of the fire departments
that the annual convention he dis
pensed with for the year Of 1918. This
question vii be taken up with the
various fire departments OF the
state and there is no doubt but that
there will be no convention this year.
The money which is used in paying
the expenses Of the delegates to the
convention the payment of prizes, ETC.,
will be diverted into other channels,
to De used for the purchase of Liberty
bonds, Red Cross, Y. NJ C.. A., and
other war relief causes. There will
probably be between $500 and $1,000
available for these various causes.

"YOU'R BOY AND NINE"

Our brothers and sweethearts,
Cur husbands and our sons,
Who few months ago ..
Were with US in our quiet homes.
Are scattered over land and sea,
In many a foreign cline
Where ERE Uncle Sam thinks best
TO send your boy or mine.
Some are in the training camps
And some are on the sea,
Others are in England and
In France and Italy.
But, Oh, where ere he may be,
Where ere he may go
The same far Heaven smiles over him
The same Dear God will know.
God knows the noble sacrifice
Our boys were glad to make,
He heard the sigh at parting
That WAS smothered for our sake.
The finest thing he carries,
To that land by bullets riven,
Is his faith in home and country,
In himself, aye, and in Heaven.
Faith that we at home are with him
That will care for every need,
That will send him help and comfort
And applaud each noble deed.
Faith that we will find the traitor
Who would aid our common foe,
That We will expose his actions
So that all the world may know.
That he alas, unworthy
OF his flag and country fair,
That we gladly would transport him
10 the gentle kaiser's care
He would teach him sweet submission.
That for years he had not known,
And obedience undreamed of
Here in his adopted land or home
For the present we must keep him
Anu the best that we can do
is to borrow from the kaiser
Just little rule or two.
Then with energy apply them
To his allies over here
80 that they may not get lonesome
For their fatherland so dear.
1t will please our boys in khaki
Just to know we're on the Job
Whlie they do their very utmost
lighting on foreign sod.

China have been In progress between
representatives of a Japanese company
and the Minister of the Navy, Admiral

Agency. A loan agreement with "A Dan

Chinese government on payment OF

The Japanese demand for the privi-
lege of building wireless stations in
China is said to be based on a claim
that wireless is closely connected with
the national defence of Japan. 1t is
stated the Japanese propose to lend
more money to China for the purpose
under conditions similar to those pro-
posed by the Danish firm.
1t is said that the Danish finn, In

NEW YORK, April 5.-Burglaries
and robberies in Berlin average more
than three hundred daily and great
alarm has been caused in the German
capitol by the sensational increase In
crimes resulting from war conditions.
The Berlin Tageblatt, on March 10,
published an interview with the d1-
rector of large insurance company
who said that three hundred burglaries
and robberies were reported daily TO
the insurance companies. But the
number, he said, was much higher, as
many households and stores were not
insured against this class OF crime.
Since the fall of 1916, the number
Of thefts has been increasing steadily
with the result that the insurance
companies have been weakened finan-
ciallv. although in most cases pre-
miums have been increased
No district is spared by the robbers,
even the homes of the minister OF
war and the commanding general OF
the Mark of Brandenburg have been
entered. From three branches of
big department store, burglars re.
Gently carried off goods valued at
$150,O0O Most of the thefts are com
mitted during the period from Fri
day to Monday.
Many of the thefts are committed
by deserters from army, while there
are also burglar bands composed OF
former convicts and deserters. Refu-
gees from occupied portions of Cali
clan and Polish territory have been
active criminally.
Present conditions in Berlin great
ly favor the burglars. The number
of policemen and detectives is insult
ficient and too many of the police Of
ficials are burdened with clerical
work During the war two thousand

policemen have been called to the
filed, according to the Tagctlatt.
The increase in crime is much
greater than during and after the
Franco-Prussian war. The made
quate lighting of the streets is Of ad-
vantage to the criminals, while 1t
hampers the police as do the military
uniforms Of army deserters. The SUI
pervision of the growing generation
is very inadequate and the police are
forced to devote much attention to
youths and young men,

MASSACRE OF BELGIANS.
Terrible Tale Unfolded by Brand Whit
lock, Minister to Belgium.

Separated by 5000 miles of ocean and
protected by our navy, our civilian popu-
lation can during this war continue to
live in the same security as in peace
times. The Hun invaders are not in our
midst. We are spared the agony that
came to the women and children and old
men of Belgium and France and Serbia
and the other oyerrun countries. While
thus secure from harm, we must not for
get that the civilian populations of these
desoated countries are as much our allies
as are their fighting men, Let us realize
more deeply their tragedies.
Read this testimony of Brand Whit
lock, who as our minister to Belgium
knows what it means for land to be
occupied by German troops:
"Tamines is little mining town on
the Sambre. The little church stands on
the village green overlooking the river,
its facade all splotched where the bullets
and grapeshot spattered against it. And
in the little graveyard beside the church
there are hundreds of new made graves,
long rows of them, each with its small
wooden cross and its bit of flowers. The
crosses stand in serried rows, so closely
that they make a very thicket, with
scarcely room to walk between them.
They were all new, of painted wood, alike
except for the names and the ages-l3 TO
