Potash Producers Of
Sixth District Stand
to Lose, Says Kinkaid
BY a Staff Correspondent,

Washington, D. c., Feb. T.
Representatives of the Nebraska
potash producers who have been in
Washington for weeks trying to get
some affirmative action looking to
the protection of their industry have
about decided to ask Senator Hitch
cock and Judge Kinkaid to intro
duce the department bill in their
respective houses. .a.
Judge Kinkaid said he was per-
fectly willing to get behind the bill
which has the endorsement of Di-
rector Manning Of the bureau Of
mines and officials of the Depart
ment of the Interior, but he thought
the chances for remedial legisla-
ton would be much better il an
amendment could be attached to one
of the appropriation bills.
Our people want action" said
Judge Kinkaid, and they should
get il. OF course / realize that a
bill as proposed by the department
lays the foundation for constructive
legislation, but the people Of my
district stand to lose lot Of
money if the government does not
come to their relief
"The people in the Sixth dis
trict went into the manufacture of
potash because they were besought
to do so as a war necessity. Now their
potash is in storage in eastern. and
southern points and is not being
purchased by the fertilizer COM
panies. This works great hardship
and something should be done at
once to insure a market for the Ne
braska output"
1t is understood that 90 per cent
of the domestic potash producers
are represented in Washington at
this time. including the following
from Nebraska: Charles Craft, Z.
M. Morsman, Geo A. Lee, 7. Z.
Stephens and w. Z. Richardson.
California, New Jersey and Utah
interests are, in conference with the

Paris, Feb. 7.-Substantially one

commission dealing with this ques-
ton, it was officially announced to-

in the course of negotiations TO dis
card the thought of pacific compro-
mise and to take recourse to the
brutality of the sword.
On the other hand-and this, for
two reasons-it would be impos-
sible to do away with the mainte-
nance of any army within each state;
indeed, it would be impossible not
to insist upon such a maintenance.
International Force.
A state might need to protect it.
self against internal disturbances
and therefore must organize its
own police. Moreover, the society
of nations in applying a military
penalty, might have to mobilize an
international force from the various
national armies.
What is to be done? Each nation
must have its own army. It must
be necessarily allowed to recruit
this army according to the method
most suitable to its own traditions
whether by CONSUMPTION or volun-
tary enlistment. 1t will be necces-
sary, however, to insist upon all
armies being composed in the same
manner, which means the elimina-
ton from the enrolment of the very
old classes incapacitated for military
service. 1t will be necessary to con-
duct the training and education of

Cit'zsns to Be Penalized.
The moment their mother coun-
try disobeys the universal DEGREES
and by its resistance interferes with
the public and social order, are the
citizens of that nation to be penal
lied. 1t will be possible to suppress
their residential rights, to expel
them, or to suspend their rights of
ownership or commerce. 1t will be
possible to cancel, to their disad-
vantage all international contracts
determining artistic, commercial and
literary rights.
By what law would they invoke
international agreement to their own
profit when their mother country
disobeys the supreme contract
which tomorrow is to bind the ma
tons together9 Exception, natural
ly, should be made as regards priv
ileges of human individuality such
as the right to work, the right to
public charity and public relief. Pow
erty and misery should always tlnd
grace at the bar of humanity.
Economic Penalties.
Next comes the economic penal
ties, such as embargoes of ships of
the rebellous power, retention in
foreign ports and pacific blockade
on raw materials
Then comes diplomatic penalties,
such as the recall of consuls and
ambassadors and withdrawal OF
passports from the ENJOYS of the
delinquent nation.
Finally, if these penalties prove
insufficient, there remains the MILF
tary penalty, particularly If in dis
obeying the supreme courts deci-
sion the rebelling nation should be
the first to take recourse to arms.
Moreover, it will be we'll under
stood that nation is to be declared
rebellious If it refuses to obey The
summons before the supreme coun-
ell.
Now, OF paramount Importance in
this connection will be the military
situation within each nation that is
a member of the society. AT pres
ent the peoples are bent under the
weight of huge armies that contain
within themselves many perils.
There is an economic peril arising
from the fact that the nations
youth is drawn away from labor
to serve under the colors. In coun-
tries having a low birth rate
economic competition with coun-
tries that are richer in men this
wreaks economic havoc.
There is the financial peril, due
to the naval and military budgets
devouring the resources OF the ma
ton, ornaments being made even
more expensive by the progress OF
modern science.
Then there is the military peril
due to the fact that it is impossible
to keep armed troops in a virtual
state Of mobilization without rails
ing and keeping alive a warlike
spirit which. in turn, creates the
evil habit of planning for war and
makes for international unrest
Finally there is the international
peril, because a nation armed to its
teeth feels too strongly the tempta-
ton to appeal to force in settling
conflicts and IS too much inclined

+ Killdeer, N. D.. June 2.-Mother and
son, both normal. intelligent human
beings, with no vocal, defects, are un-
dergoing here the unusual experience
Of having to canverse with one anoth-
er in the sign language. The mother is
Mrs. John Dunlap, who lives on a
homestead northwest of Manning. Her
son by a former husband was, when
a mere baby, given home by the par
ents of his father, who died a few
months following his birth. The lads
grandparents resided in Sweden. AS
he grew he learned to talk Swedish,
and " knows no other tongue today.
Recently his mother sent for him, and
the youngster made the long journey
across the Atlantic and halfway
across the American continent alone,
only to find at the end OF his long
trip a mother who spoke an alien
tongue. Mrs. Dunlap is an American
who knows no Swedish; her son is an
American who knows nothing but the
Svensk tongue. He is a bright young
ster, however, and his linguistic ef-
fects are not long expected to prove a
handicap. In the meantime he and his
mother are having rather novel time
getting acquainted.

big SPECTACLE:
Embers From Long Smoldering
Vein Communicated to $780,
900 Tons of Coal

Lehigh N. D., June 2.-The most
spectacular fire ever witnessed in
western North Dakota occurred when
the exposed veins of the epublic coal
mine here burst into roaring mass
of flames. One coal bed had been on
fire for several months past, but the
blaze had been isolated until the high
wind of Thursday carried burning em-
bers to adjoining beds. and by 10 o..
clock that evening all Of the coal
banks, containing about 100000 tons
of exposed coal, were in flames, Prac-
tically all of the mining equipment,
including steam shovels, dinky en-
gines, cars, trackage and buildings
was in danger of being destroyed. but
prompt work on the part of the North
ern Pacific fire crew and the Dickin-
son department averted the catastro-
phe. While the flames In the larger
part Of the mine were soon controlled
and finally extinguished it seems prob
able that the original fire vii continue
to smolder for another generation.
