PREPARED TO FIGHT AGAIN

Paris, April An a statement to La
Petite Partisan, Premier Lloyd George
denies any misunderstanding between
France and England over German con-
ditions. He declares England is ready
to make fresh sacrifices II necessary
to secure the peace and independence
of France. -.-.,,
"A rum6r was recently circulated to
the effect that Great Britain would op-
pose in peace conference the French
demand for guarantees. Lloyd George
is quoted as saying that the under
standing between the two nations re-
mains absolutely unimpaired.
"We wish France to know that it
is the will of the British people that
France have complete security for the
future the Eiglish premier declared.
Even tho it be fifty years hence,
England would be willing to make fur

Premier Lloyd George Of Great Brit.

England did not come to fight by the
side of France to give your country
merely relative security during lin

TWO GENERAL CLAUSES

Rep. George A. Malone of Wilton,

maximum hours for women and min
ors, and John Hanwell, also OF VIII
ton, state mine inspector, take issue

which can be found on, about every
other farm In the western half OF the
state, there are 202 properties which
can be classed as commercial mines.
Claims misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding, says Mr.. Ma
lone, who was at the capitol yes
terday, has grown out of the fact that
the bill prescribes certain protection
for certain classes Of machinery and
that it demands fixed standard OF
lighting where electric illumination IS
used underground. This clause has
been taken to mean, says the author
Of the bill, who is himself a practical
miner, that all mines must immedt-
ately install the machinery described.
This, states Mr.. Malone, is not a fact.
/. The regulations apply onlysto mines
already equipped with such. machinery
and lighting plants. They do not re-
+ auire that mines which have no need
Of such equipment install IT. Y
Two provisions Of the bill are gen
eral and apply to all mines whethe..
they employ two men or two thou
sand. These provide for a certain
number Of cubic feet of fresh air per
minute for each man employed ana
for an eight-hour day. Under, this
law, which becomes effective July !,

hours during any "a

are at least 1000 men regularly en-

is comparatively high. Working con-
ditions are not bad The Washburn

cern in the state, is the only prop.
erty which Is down to any depth. and
it is regarded as a model mine
The Washburn Leader, published in
the seat OF Mclean county, which
probably produces more Ignite coal
than any other county in the state
sees in the mine inspection law an at
tempt upon the part OF the eastern
coal barons to smother an industry
which is supplying 65 per cent of the
fuel used In North Dakota and closing
the market to millions of tons OF I'M
ported coalS "The new law, if we read
the signs Alright, will compel IS per
cent of the mines in the state to sus-
pend operations" says the Washburn
Leader, which further asserts that
every coal mine in the state is oper-
ating contrary to law and subject to
a heavy fine"

,.. Appointment Popular.
The appointment of James r. Wa.
ters, state bank examiner, to be man
ager of the Bank of North Dakota, is
effective at once. In moving his ap-
pointment, Commissioner John N. Ha-
gan expressed the opinion that Major
Waters by his efficient administra-
tion as bank examiner had earned this
recognition. He stated that Mr.. Wa
ing Interests of the state and Of the
northwest generally, and that his ap-
pointmen, would be acceptable to all
parties concerned. Governor Frazier,
IN EecoTding Hagan's motion, con-
CURED in there expressions.
The salary is bue $4,000 per annum
considerably less than it had been be-
lieved the position would pay. The
state examiner is receiving in his
present capacity, with far less re-
sponsibility, $4,000.
The manager of what promises to
become the northwest's largest finan
Cial institution, with resources ,esti
mated at $15O,00O,O0O, is a native OF
Iowa, born and reared at Montezuma.
He came to North Dakota and entered
banking, mortgage and loan business
at Beach in the early days OF Golden
Valley county, and he succeeded
there. He was personal friend of
President A. c.. Townley. when the lat
ter was farming in Golden Valley, and
he was selected for bank examiner at
the beginning of the Frazier admins
tration in 1917 and was reappOinted
and unanimously confirmed by the
senate during the recent general as
sembly. There are few men in public
life in North Dakota who have so
many friends among all classes, par
ties and creeds.
The Bank of North Dakota will be-
opened in temporary quarters at once.
Two sites here are under cOnsidera-
ton, but the commission is not yet at
liberty to state which will be se-
lected.

Under the Bank of North Dakota
act, one of the first of the league pro-
gram bills to be passed by the 18th
assembly and signed by the governor,
the management of the bank will rest

commission. The bank upon its or
ganization automatically becomes sole
repository for all public funds of the
state and its minor civil divisions, and

Yankees Will Send
RugbyTeam Against
The Allies Best

Rugby is not an American game, says
"The Stars and Stripes" but, just the
same, the Yanks will put rugby team
in the field in an effort to defeat the
best the Allies can put forward at the
interallied games in June.
The British and French. and prob
ably the Canadians and Australians,
will enter the strongest teams they
can assemble. The United States will
build it's team about several former
Leland Stanford University stars, the
California school having gone in for
rugby in preference to intercollegiate
football years ago.
1t is the plan Of army athletic Of
ficials to assemble four teams, getting
nucleus from former Leland Stanford
players and filling in with American
gridiron stars who look as though they
might form rugby players. Though the
games are different, the basic method
needed for the proper development Of
each are the same. and the American
officials believe any good Yank foot
baller can become good rugby player
by merely switching his style of play
ing, says Captain H. r. Stolz, former
Oxford star and one of Americas best
informed men on the game, who will
coach the Americans.

Lieut.. Tighe Beats Ten
Rivals, All Over Fifty
Years Old, in Sprint

New York's "hnest" wandered back
to boyhood days when they dropped
their blue uniforms and nightsticks for
the lighter athletic apparel to COM
pete in the track and field games Of
the police carnival at the Sheepsnead
Bay Speedway yesterday afternoon.
These guardians Of the peace engaged
IN hot contests for valuable prizes, I'M
mindful of the rain that fell steadily
throughout the afternoon. The ele-
ments prevented the completion Of sew
eral events which were put over until
next Saturday afternoon.
While the champion athletes among
the bluecoats had large followings, the
contests for the veterans Of the de-
partment created the most excitement.
These veterans were seen in the TO-
yard dash for men who have served
twenty-five years or more in the de-
partment.
Tighe Repeats Victory
Lieutenant Peter Tighe, Of the 46th
in other years, placed another win to his
credit He had an advantage of only
inches at the end, for George Sheridan
was close at his heels. All of the ten
competitors have passed beyond the
tifty-year age.
The 1OO-yard contest for men fifteen
years or more on the force went to Ar
thur Hoffman, 6Sth Precinct, who beat
Robert Lewis by yard. Several of the
contestants in this race fell on the
slippery board track, much to the
amusement of the onlookers.
The champions came through with
flying colors. Jack Eller won the hur-

Carpenter Wins
By Knockout IN
Eighth Round

pARIs, July 19.-Georges Car
pentier, the French champion,
knocked out Dick Smith, for
mer English champion, IN the eighth
round of a twenty-round bout to-
night. 1t was Carpenters fight all
the way. Fred Fulton challenged
the winner.
Smith was offered as the victim
to Partisan fight fans in celebrat-
ing Carpenters return to the ring
after five years absence. He was
completely outclassed, Carpenter
dominating the situation through
out.
The fourth round alone was about
even. Smith was down for a count
of seven in the third, and took a
count of eight in the fifth. Carpen-
tier finished his work in the eighth
with left and right hooks to the
jaw.
The Frenchman seemed anxious
for prompt knockout. He fought
fiercely, leaving openings which
might have been taken advantage
of by cleverer opponent. Carpen-
tier appeared a little short of con-
dition, and some line was obtained
on this evenings showing regarding
his chances in gruelling battle.
The assembly was more spectacu-
lar than the fight itself, beautiful
women in gorgeous gowns and men
in evening dress cheering Carpen-
tier, and Fonclz and Nungesser, the
aviators, when they were intro
duced. 1t was more like social
function than a prize fight, and the
crowds went home happy, as the
French idol had not been dethroned.
