coming acquainted with allied states
men and in visiting England, Italy
and parts of France.
Russ Proposal Fails
The first act of the Peace Confer
ence at it's meeting on January 1S
was to elect George Clemenceau,
premier of France, as chairman. On
January 81 the conference adopted
the proposal that all Russian factions
meet on the Princes Islands to dis
cuss the Russian situation. Nothing

appointed to draw up a covenant.
Discussion in the supreme council
or council of men which included
two representatives from Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, Japan and the

on January 80 the conference ac-
cepted the plan of mandatories for
colonies and backward nations. On

commission reported the covenant
it had prepared.
President Wilson left Brest on
February 1 5 on his return to the
United States. He arrived at Boston
on February "a, and after explain
ing the league covenant and making
several speeches, started on his re-
turn to France on March and
reached Brest on March 13. Mean
while the work of the council of ten
had continued except for the inter
ruption incident to the attempt tc
assassinate Premier Clemenceau or
February 10.
The various commissions of the
conference continued their labors
uninterruptedly. On March 26 in
order to speed up the work, the
council of ten was broken up in two
bodies, council of four and coun-
Gil of foreign ministers. The council
of four was composed of Premiers
Orlando, Clemenceau, Lloyd George

BEN[llQ ESCAPES HEAVY
STORM THAT SWEEPS
WEST PART OF STATE
Large Amount of Damage
Results in Path of
Snow and Wind

While parts Of North and South
Dakota, reaching to the western por-
tion of Minnesota, were whipped by
a heavy northwest gale Monday, Be-
midi escaped except for a general
light snow on a stiff wind and tenn
perature that reached nearly to the
zero mark, during the night.
During the past two days snow
has fa44en over the Dakotas anu the
western section of Minnesota. Great
drifts are fast filing railroad "cuts. "
Unless the storm abates, railroad
men say that all trains will be great
ly delayed. .~
Telephone and telegraph service
into North and South Dakota has
been seriously interrupted. Meager
reports from the storm center are
that it descended with scant warn
ing.
The wind veered into driving
northwest gale, which promises low
or temperature over the affected ter
ritory. Press wires failed as far
south as the Iowa and Nebraska line.
To the north some wires are still
holding.
Farmers and ranchers had little
time to care for their stock, and 1t is
believed a heavy loss of sheep will be
reported.
The only report of the storm was
received from Fergus Falls Just be-
fore the wires at that place failed.
Thunder and lightning, with rain
and hail, awakened the residents,
who had feared a repetition of the
tornado which destroyed the city last
summer.
