IDENTITY have no conception of the enor.
nous benefits and advantages which
the United States derives from this
treaty. which we wrung from Germany
at the cannon's mouth. Neither have
they any conception of the difficultiC :
involved in negotiating a new treaty
with Germany to establish the terms
OF peace and settle the controversies
OF the war.
Suicidal to Reject Treaty.
ITO my mind ii would be suicidal
for the United States to throw away
the advantages and benefits provided
in this treaty. 1t would be disastrous
commercially and financially. II would
put us at an enormous disadvantage
In international relations not only with
Germany but with those nations which
we would thus desert. They would re-
main bound together by ties of mutual
interest. They would enjoy the bene-
fits OF the treaty and would not be
slow to take every advantage of them.
They would resent our desertion.
Up to this point. have discussed
the possible defeat of the treaty by
means of proposed amendments to it.
That is the real program and hope of
the majority of the committee on for.
eign relations. 1t is for that purpose
that the treaty has been locked up in
cold storage for so many weeks. The
enemies of the League of Nations in
the senate are not many compared to
its friends, but they control the com
mittee. They have felt justified in
retaining the treaty in the committee,
holding useless hearings and making
killing amendments with the full
knowledge that amendments would
beat the treaty just as effectively as
a refusal to ratify.
"A few, a very few, senators have
declared that they would vote against
the treaty because of the League OF
Nations, but it has remained for the
senator from Pennsylvania, Mr.. Knox
to declare boldly against our partici.
patton in the treaty settlement.
Knox Amazes Country.
To say that he has amazed the
country is to put 1t mildly-he has
shocked the country.

KEPT SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM
How Children of Brittany Were Accus-
toned to Look Forward to Day of
Alsace's Liberation.

How the spirit of loss concerning
Alsace-Lorraine has been kept alive
in the younger generation in Brittany
can be seen from the following story.
writes a correspondent Of the Nam
chester (Eng.) Guardian: A little
French boy of six was excessively bel
licose during the war, and he said
ominously of his still smaller sisters
dolls that he did not know what might
happen should he discover them to be
SPIES. An English woman who was
staying in the house was much sur
prised, therefore, one morning to see
him embracing passionately a large
and beautiful doll. She leased him
about it. whereupon he rounded upon
her in fury, crying: 'It's not
doll; it's ma belle cousine PAlsace a.
Explanation revealed that in numbers
of Breton families existed a doll-"m2

STANDS DESOLATE IN DESERT
Once Splendid City of Ctesiphon, Now
Heap of Ruins, PeopIed by Crea-
lures of the Wild.

A few miles south of Bagdad ON
the banks of the Tigris are the ruins
of a once great city-the Ctesiphon OF
history and romance. In the ancient
days splendid palaces rose beside the
sleepy Tigris waters; gorgeous war
riors drove their chariots through the
city's broad, straight streets; visitors
from every land came to Ctesiphon to
wonder at the splendOr of the Parthian
kings. Now the glory and pomp are
gone. The palaces of the great kings
have crumbled into dust and only the
walls of the white palace stand bleak
and bare against the hot Persian sky.
The city has surrendered to the wild
and the banquet halls of Chosroes the
Great are the nightly haunts of desert
creatures.
The hush of the desert seems to wrap
the crumbling ruins in a still blanket
of silence. The old river slips quietly
by on it's way to join the Euphrates
and the sea. Even the desert winds
seem to hush their wailing cry over
the ruins of the past. 1t is place OF
silence-the grave Of a city and a
people.
Only the vaulted hall of Chosroes
has withstood the ravages of the ages.
It's great walls still stand stark and
grim, defying man and time. The
Arabs claim the spirit Of the king re-
visits the scene of his grandeur and
holds a ghostly court among it's ruins.
No longer do stately barges float
down the Tigris and stop at Ctesiphon.
The casual sightseer or archeologist
are the only visitors. The tiny donkeys
of the Arab guides replace the war
horses Of the olden days. A little far
Their up the Tigris ancient Bagdad
fiourishes and lives. Ctesiphon was
despoiled to adorn her conqueror.

Frazier Denied
Accommodations;
to Take Hotels?

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 20
Arriving here last night
en- route to Towner county,
where he is to take part in
the senatorial campaign,
Governor Frazier could OBJ
tain no accommodations at
the Great Northern hotel, the
leading hostelry Of the city.
It is not known where the
chief executive spent the
night.
It was rumored when the
governor left here this morn
ing that he was in doubt as
to whether he would declare
martial law on the Great
Northern hotel or upon the
railway company which op-
crates it. It was thought that
one or the other would be
seized before night under the
emergency created by the
governors failure to secure
a room.

SITUATIONS IN
OTHER STATES
NOT PARALLEL
General Miller Says Kansas and
r. Ohio Governors Pro-
ceeded Legally
FRAZIER JUST GRABBED

The situations in Kansas and in
Ohio, where the governors have taken
over the coal mines under receiver
ship, it not analogous with that in
North Dakota, argued former Attor-
ney General Andrew Miller in dis
trict court yesterday, pleading for an
order directing the return of the
Washburn Ignite properties at Will
ton to their rightful owners.
I'm Kansas and Ohio, because of the
incorporation of the mines," said Gen
eral Miller, "the governor has de-
clared them bankrupt and has placed a
receiver in charge. This receiver will
protect the interests of the mine-own-
ers as we'll as the state. He will
operate them for the mine-owners as
well as for the miners and for the
public, and will assure the owners of
this property reasonable compensa-
tion. @~ f.. .s. .:.-. t.
mo governor of the state of Kan
sas or of Ohio or of any other state
has ever dreamed that he as mill
tary dictator could suspend the laws,
suppress Illc COul Us anu COuSCIlpL Lle
people of their state to operate the
coal mines. There the governors
recognized that law existed. They
proceeded legally through the courts
to have receiver appointed, and
the mines reopened, thus protecting
the rights of private property as well
as those Of the public. 'i'.-
Private RiphfS profoctod
"Their action leaves the right of
private property where it belongs, in
the judicial arm of the state govern
ment, which will operate these prop
critics, for a just compensation. You
must always bear in mind that the
civil authority is supreme, and it is
only when physical force is intervenel
between the orders of the court and
tha laws of the state and the execu-
ton of such orders and laws that mill
tary force can be called upon.
"But Governor Frazier has not re-
sorted to legal action through the
judicial arm of the government. He
has gone in and grabbed these mines
with no more authority than l possess
myself, and, l believe, with far great
er danger to the state and it's people" "

BIG INSURANCE
COMPANY, BARRED
Ocean Kicked Out For Not Pro-
tecting Fargo Bank

Because the Ocean Accident and
Guaranty Insurance Co. of London,
Eng, withdrew the burglary insurance
from the Observation-Disclosures bank
of Fargo, when the state banking
board closed the doors of that insti-
tuition upon a report from deputy
state examiners declaring it "hope-
lessly insolvent," S. A. Olsness, COM
missioner of insurance, has revoked
the license of that company to do bus
mess in North Dakota.
Complaint against the insurance
company was brought by 0. E. Lof-
thus. state examiner, who was placed
in charge of the Fargo bank after this
institution was restored by the
supreme court to the Townley faction
of the league state government. Ex-
aminer Lofthus reopened the doors of
the bank within fourteen hours after
the supreme court by three to two
decision declared the bank solvent and
the action of the banking board un-
warranted and illegal.
At the hearing before Commission
er Olsness, Lofthus testified that at
the time the policy was cancelled
there was over 100000 in cash and
$4,000 in Liberty bonds in the vaults
of the Fargo bank. In defense the in
surance company is alleged to have
charged that its Fargo representative
acted in this matter without it's knowl-
edge or consent.

REGIONAL RAIL
