Greeve, missing since they set out
Sunday in their Sopwith biplane for
Ireland, was virtually abandoned to.
day. Some of the airmen here believe
the Sopwith collapsed a short time
after leaving St. Johns, and'that the
wireless failed.
Undaunted by the Sopwith's 1isap-
pearance, members of the other cross
ocean expedition today costinued
their plans for flight with the next
full moon three weeks hence. From
Cape Race came, word that the Han
ley-Page super-bomber would be in the
air in ten days. The Anglo-American
expedition expects it's machine to
reach here tomorrow.
The opinion is gaining ground that
field ice and icebergs extending for
100 miles off the coast may have af-
fected the work of the engine through
the intense cold congealing the oil.
The American airmen who. flew to
Trepassy from Rockaway, n. Y. found
this condition caused them much in
convenience, disturbing all their EN-
gines, some of which virtually burned
out through this cause, according to
officers on the U. S. S. Prairie.

DRY FORCES I =. ..
. PREPARING TO
f.. FIGHT WILSON
Opposed to Any Revision in
go Prohibition Regulations
July l

Washington, May 21. Notwith-
standing the presidents recommends
ton for repeal of wartime prohibition
insofar as it relates to wine and beer,
the opinion seems to gain ground at
the capital today that all repeal meas.
ures would be kept in committee until
after July /. In the meantime prohi-
bition leaders plan to enact legisla-
tion for enforcement of the wartime
prohibition act and the constitutional
amendments. Senator Sherman said
today he was confident enforcement
legislation would be passed before
July /. There was no disposition on
the part of the majority leaders, it
was said, to hasten consideration Of
repeal measure nor was he impressed
with the argument that it might be
we'll to set out the saloon system from
which the hard liquors are to be elm
mated when the whole country be-
comes dry next year.
The only apparent move was by
prohibition mem bers who were out
spoken in their opposition to the pres
ident's recommendation regardless of
party lines. They let it be known they
would oppose any substitute liquor
bill and make every effort to prevent
favorable committee action on any
measure which would delay national
prohibition.

TRANSLATION OF
SEMMLER'S NAME +
MADE BY AUDITOR
Carl Says Moniker of Deposed
Draft Board Member Stands
for "Quack" in POnca

The charming exchange of compli-
ments between State Auditor Kositzky
and Carl Semmler, the Mercer county
auditor whom Governor Frazier was
compelled to remove from the county
board "for cause" and who has now
taken up the cudgels for Townleyism
in his county and is one Of the strong
est exponents of the Townley creed,
continues.
Semmler wrote to the Staats-An-
zciger Of Bismarck and other foreign
language papers ridiculing Kositzky,
whose name in Polish, the Mercer
county ex-servant of Uncle Sam con-
tended, meant "goat." Kositzky comes
back with the information to Mr..
Sen,mlcr that his name in the Ponca
Indian tongue means "quack."
"It seems to me-" says the auditor,
"that Semmler, translated into the
Ponca Indian language, is very fitting
these days when we see it signed so
often to translated speeches of Kate
Richards O'Hare, Townley and Mills,
and is evidence that quacks will do
most anything at $175 per, received
from an unknown source. Why not be
honest and tell the people who is pay
ing this $175 PERI"

in progress to develop the "conciila-

place into "direct conferences" look

Immediate restoration Of the normal
city water pressure was ordered by the

association announced today that the
associa ton decided at meeting last
night to remain strictly neutral during

of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor
council told the association there was
possibility of the strike settlement

Efforts of the central strike commit

utilities and the movement throughout
the city met with the sharpest oppo-
sition today that has been shown
since the general strike was declared
last Thursday. When union men at
the city works today declined to fur

Gil had ordered it, they left the build

NOTED DIVINE TO
DISCUSS MODERN
SOCIALISM HERE
Pastor Of Church Of the Re.
decmer at Minneapolis Tells
of Purpose and Program.
IS FAR-FAMED AS ORATOR
Holds Unquestnnable Position
of Finest Pulpit Orator in
the Northwest -. .r.

Bismarck is given an unusual. op-
portunity to hear a great subject dis
cussed by a big man in large way
at the Grand theatre at this evening
when Rev. Marion D.. Shutter, pastor
of the Church of the Redeemer, Min
reapolis, will talk on "Socialism: Its
Purpose and Program" There will
be no charge for, admission, and a
cordial invitation is extended every
one, friends of socialism, it's opponents
and those who are in no-nian's land on
this subject. ..s.........
Marion D. Shutter is unquestionably
one Of the finest pulpit orators the
northwest has ever known. His COM
ing here to speak on any subject
should be sufficient to fill to capacity
the largest auditorium in the city. The
fact that he is coming to talk on a
topic of which North Dakota has heard
so much and knows so little should be
double guaranty of a packed house at
the Grand tonight.
Not a Dynamiter /
Shutter is not dynamiter in any
sense of the word. He is student of
unusual educational and intellectual
attainments; a man of broad expert
ence, of liberal ideas and with whole
souled love and understanding for his
fellow man. He is not man who re-
sorts to harangue or villification as an
excuse for the absence of argument
and logic. He knows his subject; he
has given it minute study; he has
weighed it carefully in its every
phase. When Bismarck hears him to-
night it will receive the mature de-
liberations of philosopher and think
er and the deductions of specialist.
Not Political
Rev. Shutter does not come to Bis
marck to attack nor to offend any, po-
litical party or faction; he is essen
TALLY anything but politician in the
ordinary sense of the term. He is
statesman in the sense that he has
formed the habit of thinking in ma
tional sense. His mind is not so mar
row nor so sectional that he cannot
grasp problems and discuss them with
a broad and comprehensive perspec-
tive. .-s., .,,.,
The Tribune urges every thinking
man and woman in Bismarck and Vi
cinity; everyone who is patriotical!y
interested in their state and their
country and it's future; everyone who
is puzzled, perhaps alarmed, by the
conditions through which we are now
passing, to. make it point to hear
DR.. Shutter tonight. 1t should be the
one important engagement of the eve
ming for every sober-minded individ-
ual in the capital city.

Dakota delegates to the recent ma.
tional convention in st. Louis, ex.
planned what the legion is and what
it stands for. and told how posts are
being organized. A specific denial
was entered to the report which has
gained some currency to the effect
that the legion is an Officers organi-
Zation.' 1t was shown that more
than 80 per cent of the mebership is
necessarily composed of men from the
ranks; that both of North Dakota s
present executives are former enlist
ed men,. and that an enlisted man,
Sergt. Jack Sullivon of Seattle, is Sec
ond in command in the national le.
gion. OF the officers elected by Bis.
marck post, but one, Capt. Jones, held
a commission in France. The legion,
it was proven, is essentially demo.
cratic in its organization and pur-
poses, and rumors to the contrary
have been spread, it is feared, by in
terests intent on Gripping its patri-
otic usefulness.
Greetings were received from the
Boys in Blue to the Boys in Khaki,
and were returned with interest.
Every member Of the legion agreed to
appear in the Memorial day parade
in full uniform, and a committee was
named to assist the Grand Army vet
terans with their plans for fitting OBJ
