No Trouble to
Ente9" Canada

Ottawa, Ont, July 11.-Canadian
immigration authorities in a state
ment today seek to correct an err
roneous impression. that citizens of
the United States coming to Cana
da for the vacation season are sub
jected to an unnecessarily rigid ex-
animation at the border.
The examination, the statement
says, is practically the same as it
has been for some time past. Owing
to the enforcement of the United
States draft law, visitors are sub
jected to two examinations, one by
the American military authorities,
and the other by Canadian immi-
grant officers. In the case Of Cana
dams visiting the United States the
process is reversed.
Bona fide travelling American citi-
zens or subjects OF allied or neutral
countries are assured of courteous
treatment and are welcome to enter
Canada without difficulty, the state
ment declares.

IT'S Said
(snecia1 to The Forum.N

Especial to The Forum.)
Bismarck, N. D.. July 1I.-Be po-
lite to Germans.
That is the latest order OF the
North Dakota counnil OF defense,
{ v
According to a sratefnenS ISSUED
from the Office Of the state council
in Bismarck, it is declared contrary
to the spirit Of the people" to apply
the term pro German" to any per-
son except in making charge of
such character before the proper Of
ficials or in aiding or conducting the
prosecution Of such charges.
That certainly raises a most in
teresting question" said a capitol
building officer today. IF my
memory serves me right, the Town
ley owned papers have been especial
ly vigorous in denouncing patriotic
prof1teers' as pro-German."
Here is the statement that has
been issued setting forth the council
Of defense attitude toward pro- Ger
manism.
THE state council of defense
adopted a resolution in which it is
declared contrary to the policy of
the government and contrary to the
spirit OIL ZIG pSOR4S ~ apply GAO
term, German to any person
except in making a charge of such
character before proper officials or in
aiding or conducting the prosecution
Of such charges.
THE state council Of defense based
its action on the ground that the
indiscriminate application Of the in
hibited expression to people in gem
eraI tended to stir up strife and bit
terness among them at a time when
the nation needs the united efforts
of the whole people in carrying on
the war.
Another provision Of the resolu-
ton adopted declares that it is the
duty of all persons to report all
seditious utterances and acts to the
proper authorities in order that they
may be prosecuted under the laws
against this class OF disloyalty. The
state council of defense declares
further that if the people will report
all acts and utterances of disloyalty,
sedition and o-Germanism, there
will be no reason for the application
of the term to any one, and that the
prevention of the expression will re-
move a possible menace to the good
order and law observance Of the
state"

aboutN40 feet from the ground. Then
and the earth trembled. Mr.. Drenth
was uninjured. but for the fact that

would have been directly under it.

next morning. and found a mound
not unlike a volcano in appearance,
coated with a white. crusty forma-
ton. samples of which were taken
for analysis. It has been estimated
that the meteor was at least ten
feet long. and four to five feet wide
