 THEORIES FOR PREVENTING
 WAR,
 It will always be to the credit of the French Socialist party that 1t felt the approach of the European war far more strongly than any other. At the International Socialist Congresses at Stuttgart in 1907, at Copenhagen in 1910, and at Bale in 1912 it was this party that brought up---and was pre- pairing to bring up in 1914 at Vienna the question of action by the Inter nationele, and by the Labor parties, against the war. It claimed that each Socialist party had the double duty of defending the independence of its own country In case of attack, and of fighting In a revolutionary manner against its own government should that government threaten the 1nde- pendence of other countries. The French Confederation Generale du Travail was more dogmatic and advocated still more extreme methods It held that l. was the duty of every national association to declare a gen eraI strike. unanimously and simulta- neously, against any treat of war.

NO INCREASE !
IS EXPECTED
University May Have to
Submit to Budget Board
Recommendations.

An increase of $103.712 in the state
appropriation covering the general
maintenance of the university is
asked by the head Of that institution.
The total appropriation for the last
biennium amounted to $5S0,66O. For
the coming biennium the university
asks $70S,62 or an increase of $127,-
963.
According to Secretary j. w. Will
kerson if this appropriation is cut to
less than 100000, as the budget
board has intended. it will NEAR the
serious Gripping Of the university
and it's facilities.
The requested increase in the ap'
preparation is made necessary by the
increased cost of everything essentia
to, the institution. 1t is apparent that
the which the budget board
has to draw upon are not sufficient tt

cite in the cut off districts after a
previous occupation by American

cerned, and for the admission of the

Speaks For All Albanians.
1.-THE resolution was transmitted to
the American government. to Presi-
dent Wilson In France, Col. E. NJ.
House and the foreign ministers Of
Great Britain, Italy and France.
Though 1t comes only from. the AL
banians Of North America it does &C
tually voice h sentiments of all the
Albanians. There is no question that
the convention is the m%outhpiece Of
all the Albanians wherever they live,
considering the fact that the Alban-
ians of America are the only people
who can freely express their senti-
ments.
that resolution is simple and element
airy justice. Despite the patent fact
that the territories taken are Alban-
ian by every title, human and divine,
and SO they are known to every one.
the Albanians do not claim them out
right, but only through p~lebtScite. The
Greeks may be expatiating over the
Greek character Of the southern AL
bantam provinces; the Albanians sim
ply say let the people talk for them
selves. The Serbians and Montenegrint
may claim the districts Of northern
and eastern Albania on haxy historical
and sentimental grounds; the Alban.
ians wish only that the population Of
these. districts be given 4 chance to
make their free choice.

Important Questions Are
Discussed at Annual
Gathering.

The next annual meeting Of the
State Builders and Traders %associa-
ton will be held at Fargo in accord
ance with a decision made at the
meeting held in this city yesterday.
At a banquet last night many In
teresting talks were given by speak
ers from Grand Forks and other
cities. !
E. J.. Lander spoke of the three big
questions that confronted the coun-
try in his estimation as the railroad,
the labor and the financial condition.
He mentioned the very dangerous
situation that has grown up at Bis
marck, but quoted one of exchange
officers as saying hat there must be
some power that can save US from ex-
IRENE conditions if they attempt to
nut that over" He also referred to
the fact that the credit Of the country
was very good, especially in the Red
river valley. Bert D. Keck and
George A. Bangs spoke, telling about
conditions as they found them, Mr..
Keck discussed the "Relation Of the
Architect to the Builder"
John Nuss of this city acted as
POSTMASTER Of the occasion. introduce
ing Mayor HI. NJ. Wheeler, who well
coined the men to the city, and the
other speakers, Matt Camitch of Far
go and president-elect of the %associa-
ton, responded to Mayor Wheeler in
behalf of the organization. Music by
an orchestra was rendered during the
four-course dinner that was served.
Eugen Young, secretary of the Min
neapolis Builders exchange, delivered
an interesting talk on building con-
struction, and Roy NJ. Winner. Of the
staff of the Improvement Bulletin,
Minneapolis, rendered two vocal solos
and also delivered a recitation in
Italian character.
Mr.. Winner expressed gratitude be-
cause the Improvement Bulletin had
been made the official organ Of the
North Dakota exchanges, and also
encouraged the builders by giving
them facts on the enormous amount
Of contemplated work for the north
west gained through county auditors
architects, contractors and owner:
states.
Dear Dad" Mccormick touched
the hearts and eyes of the audience
with a pathetic talk on "Tru'
Friendship"

was attended by delegates from the
exchanges in the state. Minot, Fargo
and Grand Forks. and from Mime

BALKANS MUST
OBTAIN SELF
DETERMINATION
Albanian Delegate Lauds
Wilson For Conception Of
Balkan Situation.

Albania's claims. Of independence
and the possibility of the Balkan
states proving q genuine stumbling
block to world peace are set forth In
a statement just given u in Boston
by G. A. Chokrezi. Albanian delegate
to the United States.
"In his historic address to the
Italian parliament on January T."
says Mr.. Chekrezf, president Wilson
that the Balkan states should no
longer be interfered with, but be let
to exercise their W national inde-
%pendence. Whoever is in position to
realize how the Balkan states have
been in the past employed as the In
struments Of their powerful patrons
and how they were compelled to
forego pro tanto. willingly or not, their
own national independence will fully
appreciate the high craftsmanship OF
the man who has SO successfully
grasped the conception of the thorny
Balkan problem.
truth, n would be compelled to rec
ognize the fact hat up to the present
time there have been no Balkan
states at all; there have been, instead,
q number of mercenary satellites re-
volving, more or less, as inert masses
within the orbit of. the mighty planets
Of continental Europe. This was, OF
course, the corollary of the old system
Of the balance of power.
Old Diplomacy to Go.
But today when the current Of re-
organizing the world and establishing
it on more moral and sound bases is
calculated to do away altogether with
the older schemes of European di-
plomacy; when the United States
broke of the barriers of her tradi-
tional policy to help Europe remedy
her century long evils of misery and
bloodshed which could not but di.
rectly affect America as a world
power; when President Wilson per-
sonally went to that depraved Europe
! peace and world freedom into the
poisoned hearts and minds Of the
European peoples; today, I say, wher
serious attempts are being made tt
reform the sinful Europe and to in
augurate a new era of prosperity ant
world fraternity instead Of the bank
rupt one Of misery and continuous
carnage, one is bound to thorough!
examine the causes of disaffectio1
that have been preying on the tran

some sore point which may be tn

president Wilson's reference t.
the past dependence and contemplated
future independence of the Balkan
states has been explained as applyinl
chiefly to the italian claims on tn
eastern coast Of the Adriatic sea, an
the J%ugo-Slavs seized this opportunit,
to make more bitter their attack
against Italy as claimant Of the Dial

n. S. A. IS DISCOVERED
Born In Atchison-And He Claims
1t Is a Distinction.

Dear AJC:-Next Saturday is my
birthday. You know. Art, I arrived
at Atchison some thirty-few years ago.
1t was the first time I had ever ar
rived anywhere, and I found expert
ences vastly interesting as peered out
of my crib and surveyed the landscape
of that metropolis thru the big bay
window of the home of the esteemed
Mr.. and Mrs. Andy Anderson. That
was the first funny thing that hap
pened in my life-the business of
being born in Atchison, there was a
sort of distinction to it, too. AS a mat
ter of fact very few persons are born
in Atchison. The census can only ac-
count for about 900 of them now,
and so the distinction of being born in
Atchison stands in the intense ratio of
900 to 100,00O,000 estimated popu-
lation of the so-called United States.
At this time 1 was only interested in
childwelfare work and the nutritive
value of a pint of milk and similar
economic problems, but what wanted
to say, before 1 was, above, inter-
rupted, I have received lot of mail
this week. Why people pick on me is
more than 1 can say. The first letter
here says: SHOULD I smile or look
solemn, when my picture is took?" I
wrote her to leave that to the ginks
that looked at the finished Photograph.
Her friends will look solemn and her
enemies will do the smiling. Then
some gal wrote me and said she
wanted Occupation" on the stage.
What does she mean, Occupation"
Art? it's just a plain job. Said she
had good vocal and terpsichorean
ability, that is, enough for the stage
But" she Gays, ito tell you the truth,
mister, 1 can't sing a note, dance very
little, but rsonally-personally any
manager would like me"-tears, came

Eddy W." wrote me this: will you

where a young fellow, eighteen years
old. can train for the vaudeville stage.
/ am the one boy who can make any
face and act out dopey. and silly on
the stage and L know I'm clever, cause
folks have told me this Art, that
boy doesn't need any training. he's
ready now. A. B. K. notes this to me:
please tell a young miss where I can
learn gigging, eccentric dancing and
laughing steps" Go ahead, Art, you
tell her. I haven't got the heart. And
then Sadie dear old Sadie) writes me:
81 know you ust to play out in the
stage and want to know where I can
get a job being an actress in the
chorus. My head had been examined
onct by asbump feeler-up-ist, and he
says I'm fit for nothing els" And then
they wonder what's the matter with
show business. But Art, here's the
prize letter, it comes from press
| agent of a Broadway producer, en-
closing a lot of press matter and adj
vising as follows: 'They are as truth
full as can make them, after a score
of years spent in the earnest endeavor
to seek out the truth wherever it may
be found" There you, Art, make your
own wheeze. And. oh, nearly forgot
to tell you, that false hair is nothing
more than a false-hood, and I guess
that will be about all. n. S. A.

GEE, HOW HOMESICK!
And the Battery A Boys Have Right
To Feel That Way,

The boys of Battery A are weary of
inaction, according to a letter received
by Mrs. c. F. Blades, $40 West Fifth
street, from her son, Corp. Charles w
Blades. He states that the boys want
to get home and that it's everybody's
business in the states to get them
home, just as much as it was to buy
liberty bonds and get them over. The
letter follows in part:
"Why should 1 move? There is no
girl around here 1 want to see; there
is no money to be made by moving; no
show to go to; I'm not hungry-except
for home, and moving won't bring that
one minute sooner. 1 have no social
ambitions to achieve here and no job
to look for, So why should I move :?
Why not just stay here and rot or go
nuts thinking about it?
''Well, that's just why we don't sit
around the fire like the quiet, sensi-
BILE men we ought to be. That's why
scuff1e like little kids. That's why we
raise hell every time we get a chance
and look for the chances. Because
we don't want to rot or lose our pep
our power for action, for production
and all the things that make life
worth while for people.
But here's the question: How long
can we keep up this fooling ourselves?
It's up to you people at home and it's
up to you hard to get us home as soon
as possible. GU read or now nice the
French people are to the Americans.
but it's like the niceness of a slick
salesman trying to sell you suit that
doesn't fit So don't let the stump
speaker who has travelled over this
country in a fine. comfortable auto
mobile and just touched the rough
spots here and there persuade you
that a few more months more or less
won't hurt the boys; or that line that
the national guard are young men who
are mostly pool hall loafers and let
| them stay there; we must get our Sc
lected men home first
Its your business and everybody
business in the states. just as much as
it was your duty to buy liberty bonds
and get US over here to whip the
boches and make the world little
safer place for you to live in. We
want to live in that world. too, as soon
as possible"
