Add to Big Total

Three-quarters Of million dollars
will be Bismarcks contribution to
the nations reconstruction program.
Included in this total for 1919 will be
paving aggregating $350,o0o; a state
investment of approximately $250,O0O
in the new memorial historical build
ing on the capitol grounds, improve
ments on the executive mansion and
additions at the penitentiary, ana
$15O,000 to be invested in new busl-
ness structures and homes.
The memorial historical building,
upon which work will begin in the
near future, will cost 100000, to be
provided by direct state appropria-
ton. The last assembly appropriat-
ed $4,000 for Improvements on the
executive mansion, and consider
able sum for extensions and repairs
at the state penitentiary.
The United States government will
invest approximately $4,000 in new
buildings at the Indian school, which
increased attendance has made an
absolute necessity There is a pros
pect of the expenditure OF $4,000 or
more in improvements and altera-
tions at Fort Lincoln, which may be
transformed into an aviation station

ing from Boston to Seattle and gen
orally following the line of the Red
Trail.
Private construction will include
the erection of the new Eltinge thea

upon which work is to begin in early
fall, and which will cost $150,O0O;
nor approximately $5O,O00 which
may be invested in new bank build

will be commenced this fall. Account
is taken of improvements to cost
$4,000 or more which will be made
In the Bismarck bank building, which
is to construct an entirely new front
both on Main and Third streets
Several big projects are dependent
on this years crop. Should the Bis
marck territory enjoy good rain
within the next day or two, which
will insure bumper yield, it will be
entirely safe to increase this years
construction estimate for the capital
city to million dollars.

in the fall of 1917, when Townley

The Star Witness.
Teigen is considered by the state
it's star witness. He became asso-
ciated with the Nonpartisan league in
1916, and he continued in the employ
of that organization until his connec.
tion was severad in 1917 Teigen
dwelt on conversations he had at var
ious times with Townley and Gilbert
Townley listened to his testimony,
seemingly with keen interest.
Testifying regarding a conversa-
tion with Townley about June TO-
1917, Teigeh says he discussed with
Townley what the attitude of league
organizers should be in German com.
munities in Minnesota.
"Townley said that in German
communities it was all right to sci
forth our views about the war, so as
to humor them little, but not to
make it too strong" -.

"What was the object of this lint
OF reasoning? asked the prosecuting
attorney. ".-
ITO arouse pro.German sentiment,
replied Tiegen.
"How was this to be accom-

"Not by direct statements" said
Teigen. 1T was only necessary tc
repeat Townley's speeches in North
Dakota, stating that this was rich
mans war;"
Teigen repeated the statement
which he alleges Townley made tt
him in St. Paul: "We are against this
war, but we cannot afford to adver

The presidential voyage continues un'

with calm seas, and mild, sunny
weather. Mr.. Wilson has done some
work on his message to congress, in
which he will submit the treaty, or
protocols, and the general results
achieved at the peace congress, but
on advice of his physicians, the pres

Of the climate is delightful. The great
majority Of days are like this, clear
and pleasant, with blue skies and fresh
air.
One Of the misfortunes from which
Washington suffers is that the most
notable of its great affairs occurs in
season Of normally bad weather, in
March. Inauguration day is likely to
be very unpleasant, even dangerously
so. Repeated efforts to secure a change
of date for the induction of the Presi-
dent into Office have failed. And so
Washington, visited then by multitudes
from all over the country, has gained
an unsavory reputation in respect to
its weather.
For men who march and for the vast
throng of spectators who stand in the
streets or sit in the stands, such Gay
as this is ideal, not too warm, nor too
chill, the breeze refreshing butt not an
noying, the sun blessing and not a
nuisance. And as the calendar rolls
along and day succeeds day in the cap
ital this is the sort of weather that is
chiefly experienced. Pity is that the
Inauguration could not be held in cir
cumstances that afford better chances
for such day.

Winding Up.

Gen. Pershing has lost no time in
getting down to the task of winding up
the affairs Of the American expedition
ary forces. He has established his
headquarters in this city and his Of
fee force is being organized and is
preparing for final disposition the $50
tons of papers relating to the cam
paign that must be sorted and docketed
and finally disposed of before the war
job is finished.
Much Ct the work of a commanding
general has to do with documents
During his most active days in France
Gen. Pershing dealt chiefly with papers.
1t would be interesting to know how
many thousands of times he signed
his name in order to keep our fighting
force in action and equipped and train
ed and cared for in sickness and in
health and nursed when wounded Of
course, most of the detail fell to others,
but the final decision, the big questions,
the important determinations, came to
him. Hence the accumulation of many
tons of letters and memoranda and re-
ports that must now be put in shape
for final fling or selected for destruc-
ton, as the case may be.
This is uninspiring work, but it must
be done, and there is no one who can
do it as we'll as the man who carried on
the job in France. It will keep him
occupied for long time, and when it
is finished it will make a record of
remarkable achievement which for
speed and efficiency and success has no
equal in the worlds history.

A Complete Fulfllment.

When The Star suggested, i'll these
columns, on the 18th of August, that
grand review should be held in this
city to mark the close of the war it
was in the hope that the men of the
LIST Division, then under orders to re-
turn home from their sentry duty in
Germany, could be held together as
unit for the purpose of parading in
Washington as symbol of the great
force that won the war. 1t was also
suggested and hoped that Gen. Per-
shing's return to these shores would
be so timed that he could be present
to lead the line.
These hopes have been fulfilled. The
1st Division has been brought to Wash
ington and Gen. Pershing, who COM
manded it ad all the other American
divisions overseas, heads the line. The
grand review proposed by The Star a
few weeks ago has become an actuality
and becomes an occasion of the utmost
significance and impressiveness.
Every arrangement contemplated at
the outset as possible has been effected.
The division marches as body, in full
equipment, in full personnel. Gen.
Pershing makes his official appearance
IN command of representative body of
American troops. The citizens of the
District have provided gala setting
for the review, with great triumphal
arch in token Of the victory these
marching men and their comrades
have won in alliance with the armies
of England, France and Italy. Re
viewing stands have been erected. The
city has been decorated. Choral units
have been organized. Congress has
declared a general holiday. The mer-
chants have closed their business
places. Nothing has been left undone
that might have been done to make the
occasion a perfect success. And all in
a remarkably short time, demonstrate
=, that Washington can rise to the
occasion upon call
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-09-17
Just One Per Cent.

With about $4,000 men in line today
the LIST Division and the Pershing regi-
ment represent approximately l per
cent of the entire American expedi-
tionary force. Multiply this marching
column by 100 and we have the Amer
lean Army in France. The line takes
five hours to pass, marching in close
formation. At the same rate of prog
ress it would require twenty days for
the men we sent overseas to pass in re-
view, going night and day. But a fight
ing force does not so march. When
division moves on the field it goes in
column of tours. 1t can progress at
the rate of about twenty-five kilo-
meters a day under favorable condi-
tons and making the maximum prog
ress. Yet for one division more than
forty-seven kilometers Of road are
necessary. Thus if the LIST Division
were to march through the streets of
Washington as it marched in France in
going from point to point it would re-
quire nearly two days to pass, and the
entire American expeditionary force, SO
marching, would take nearly seven
months.
So, to gain a concept Of the might Of
the force that the United States sent
overseas, multiply today's column by
100. Try to visualize such an Army.
Conceive the immense mass Of sup
plies required to keep it provisioned

the food necessary to sustain it, the
equipment for its shelter, the ammuni-
ton requisite for its guns. And then
remember that if the enemy had not
yielded when he did, but had under
taken to fight for another season the
American expeditionary force would
have been more than doubled. Is it re-
markable that the spirit of the foe was
broken when these great columns con-
tinued to pour overseas through the
ports Of France into the training fields
and up to the fighting lines, cease
Jess, ever increasing tide composed of
men of the highest quality and the
staunchest spirit, and the best equip
ment?

A Typical Washington Day.

Two weeks ago, when arrangements
for the grand review were we'll in hand,
it was assured that only bad weather
could prevent perfect success for the
ceremony Of receiving Gen. Pershing
and the LIST Division at the capital.
Today caps the sheaf Of that success.
The weather is ideal, could not be finer
for the purpose Of a great outdoor
spectacle.
To those who are not familiar with
Washington weather it should be stat
cd that this is characteristic day. This
city gets hot in summer and sometimes
psetty cold in winter, but the average
