To Be Centrally Located.

To Be Centrally Located.
The club will be centrally located
on one of three sites upon which the
holding company has procured op
tions. Each of these lots is 100 by
$50 feet, occupying a corner location
and the building will take up the en-
tire ground space.
The basement will be turned over
to a pool Is by 35 feet, surrounded
by showers, Russian and Turkish
baths, steam Iaoms and other acces
sories of modern plunge. Here al
so will be situated the bowling alleys
On the main floor, front, will be the
club offices, check rooms, card and
reading rooms, and in the rear, ex'
tending up two stories and with a
floor space 100 by 100, will be the
gymnasium proper. This will be sur
rounded by swinging running track
which will provide a balcony for ath.
letic events. The mezzanine floor OF
the second story will be devoted to IL
braries, rest rooms, lounge and par
lors for the ladies. The entire fourth
floor will be occupied by the ban
quet and ball room, and the fifth by
lodge rooms.
OF the project the prospectus
says:
The Need Of Club.
Wholesome friendship, true man
hood, real sportsmanship, playing
the Game" are nowhere so fully de-
veloped as in an athletic club. Ath.
letics mean clean living, and clean
living entails clean thinking and as a
community thinks, it is.
Athletics bring US pride in our
body. We cherish that which we are
proud of. A body evenly developed,
we'll balanced, is to fine thing to
debase For that reason we may
safely say that an athletic club is an
important factor in the manufacture
of manhood, and our manhood is the
community's highest asset.
Does Bismarck need an athletic
club?
Ask the man on the street, the min
lister in the pulpit, the business man
in the store, the banker, the profes-
sional man; go into any home and
ask the father or mother of a growing
boy, go into our schools and ask the
boys you will find there-the men
men who will step into our places to-
morrow when we pass on-and then
ask your doctor.
What has Bismarck to offer its
young men? ..
What has it, during the greater part
of the year, to offer its business and
professional men?
How many, of us are growing stale
for lack Of exercise or for the want
Of a proper incentive to exercise?
How many of us fall short of 100
per cent efficiency because our brains
are over-worked while our bodies are
over-slothful? ..,..-
For the Man Out Of Town.
So much for the man who lives
here. Now place yourself for mo-
ment in the position of the man from
out of town who has come to your
city on official business, or on a. buy
ing expedition, or for any one of the
many reasons which may attract

commercial center He is alone in

PREPARE 10 ENFORCE LAW.

l.
Washington, June 30.-War time
prohibition, effective at midnight, will
he strictly enforced by the department
Of justice in so far as the machinery
can function to that end. 1t was said
ct the department today that open vio-
lation of the law threatened in New
York and other cities will be dealt
with promptly.
Whether there is sufficient force to
handle this situation remains to be
seen, but the department has asked
congress for force enough.
Beer containing 2 3-4 per cent alcohol
is regarded by justice officials as in
toxicating and persons who undertake
its sale will be arrested, it was said.
In the opinion Of the department Of
1icials and many members of congress,
war time prohibition will have no ef-
feet on the Reed amendment prohibit
ing Importation of intoxicants where
the local laws forbid its sale.
Information has reached the depart
ment that many persons in "dry" ter
ritory have stored liquor in "wet" ter
ritory to transport it after today.
GO INTO FOOD BUSINESS.
Peoria, ILL.,, June 30.-Peoria, which
for more than half century claimed
the distinction of being the greatest
distilling center in the world, today,
along with other American cities, is
bidding farewell to John Barleycorn.
The great distilling plants, hit hard
months ago by war time legislation,
now are food product plants, and the
dry law will have little effect on the
finances of owners.

If the blunder is recognized, if false

No Change in Psychology

Two things have happened in the last
few days to revive guessing about Ger
man psychology. One was the letter
sent by the universities of Leipsc and
Heidelberg to all the universities of
France, suggesting the immediate re-
sumption Of pre-war relations between
German and French universities.
Let 1t be remembered that the leading
professors Of the big German universe
ties signed the now famous statement
to the world upholding Germanys part
in the war, including the sinking of the
Lusltania and the atrocities in Belgium
and France. Then picture to yourself
these same professors blandly suggest
ing that they be received back into
French universities on the footing that
obtained before the war. The replv
OF the University Of Bordeaux says:
please take short visit to the devas
tated regions Of Northern France and
then inform us upon your return how
long it would be before you would renew
relations with a people committing SINH
lar deeds in your country"
The second incident is the appeal sent
out, particularly to England for rubber
nipples for German babies. The plea
for the starving babies is we'll calculated
TO win the compassion Of even the bit
terest foes, but also incorporated in it
is the statement Of the head of a chill
dren's hospital in Germany that IL
something was not done to help German
babies "by 1883 there would be no Ger
man soldiers fit to fight"
The reply to this in "The London
Evening Standard" is: "Thcrc are
crowds of people in this country, who,
while loving children, want to know IL

Thackeray's DAUGHTER

A long vista reopens with the news
that Anne Thackeray Ritchie is dead
Thackeray's daughter published her first
novel, "The Story of Elizabeth" in 1868
the year her father died, and her last,
Mrs. Dymond," in 1885; so that in time
as we'll as in spirit her work belongs dis
tinctly to the Victorian era. 1t NAV be
that these novels, even the most charm
ing one of all, "Old Kensington," pub
lished in 1878, are little read now: if so.
they share the fate of others we'll worth
reading.
No doubt her parentagc had some
thing to do with the attention Anne
Thackeray attracted in her early days.
Yet, though hereditary influences may
be traced in her, she had very distinct
gift of her own Her stories flowed
quietly; they had no great dramatic
force, but they were subtle in charac-
terization and appealing in style. Had
the great master of English fiction sur
vived to read her pages, he would have
taken delight in them.
Nll D. RlCCHIC was DCSC known IN later
years as an uphoder of her fathers
fame. Thackeray forbade formal biog-
raphy, though Trolope felt constrained
to write a brief one. But his daughter.
without in any way transgressing his
prohibition, gave the world many charm
ing glimpses of personality more Iowa
bic, perhaps, than that of any other
writer Of his generation. Those who
most admire Thackeray the writer cher
ish the memory of Thackeray the man
with even profounder reverence. His
daughter made it sufficiently clear that.
whatever record leaped to light, he never
would be shamed. The edition of his
works which she edited may fairly be
regarded as the final one. But it is
not be said Of her merely, ".Stnt
nomin1s un1bra." She deserves remem-
brancc for her own contribution to Eng
lish literature. And like her father.
she won friends whose allegiance to her
was never shaken.

the first and most imperative duty of
Great Britain is to raise up a German
army for 1888"
Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech is a constitutional
right. But, like other constitutional
rights, it has inherent limitations. These
go practically unnotced in peace times.
IN war they force themselves on public
attention.
The Supreme Court has just decided
that the section of the espionage act
penalizing speeches or writings which
"wllfully obstruct the recruiting and en-
llstment service of the United States. to
the INJURY Of the service or the United
States," is not in conflict with constitu-
tional guarantees.
elf-preservation is the first law Of
nations as we'll as of individuals. Free
comment, which may be harmless in
peace, can easily become peril to safety
IN war. The character of an utterance
IS determined largely by circumstances
As Justice Holmes aptly remarks: "The
most stringent protection of free speech
would not protect man in falsely shout
ing Fire. in a theatre and causing
panic"
War creates an exceptional status.
The Constitution itself may be over
thrown il the national defence fails.
The guarantees which it contains must,
therefore, be judged in the light of that
contingency. They must not be used to
The impairment or destruction of the
system of which they are a part.
This is saving common sense as we'll
as Judicial wisdom. America prizes free
speech, but she will not tolerate an abuse
OF 1t by some which tends to make the
right worthless to all. Behind freedom
of speech in war time must be an honest
intent, free from all suspicion of a de-
sire to aid the enemy.

can criticism Of the defective league of
nations covenant. He doesn't defend
the present draft, but seems to imply
that it is sort Of discourteous to analyze
it and try to amend it.
A statesman with MIR. Mann's war
record ought to be extremely modest
about intruding his opinions on the de-
siderata of peace. He was throughout
the greater part Of the war pac;fst.
with pro-German leanings, whitewashed
as strict believer in neutrality Sin
thought and word."' He did everything
he could to help "keep US out of war;"
He thought in 1915 that Americans
should have needed Won Bernstorff's
warning and kept off the Lusitania. He
fought in 1917 against the arming of
American merchantmen following the
German proclamation Of unrestricted u
boat warfare. He was an ardent anti
lnternationalist at the time when Ger
many was most interested in our ad-
herring to policy of "splendid isolation"
Mr.. Mann's point of view was in
genuously disclosed in debate on Feb
ruary 16, 1917, on the arming of mcr-
chant ships. He said then:
Suppose we become engaged in this
European war, and finally there are over
lures for peace from one side or the
other. II we are party to the war we
have got to sit in at the final councils.
I'VE will have to help determine the
terms Of peace and at once, at one
swoop we will have abandoned the tradi-
tion and long continued policy of the
United States to remain supreme on this
continent and to keep out of the compli-
cations of Europe. When we under
take to enter a policy which REQUIRES
US to interfere in European affairs we
can no longer ask or insist on the tradi-
tional policy of the United States that
European countries shall keep their
hands off American affairs"
Pressed to say what he would do if
Germany ordered our shipping off the
seas. he answered.:
II do not know what position I will
take or what position Congress will take
when specific cases may arise But I
will say that for myself 1 am determined
to do everything in my power to keep
our country out of the present European
war"
This is the same neutral" who said
in November, 1915:
"Personally l think the time has come
to stop the outrageous interference with
our commerce by Great Britain,
/ am absolutely neutral in this thing. I
do not favor Great Britain or Germany.
| am for the United States getting as
much of the worlds trade as possible
during this exceptional opportunity and
taking firm stand against any other
country which seeks to interfere, whether
it be England or Germany, or some other
nation"
Curious, isn't it, how every one of the
Mann stripe is now redhot for the
covenant? Have they changed their
minds, or are they tenting on their old
camp ground?
