cry day that American sailors and
soldiers are being killed with reckless
abandon on the Mexican border and
Carranza is allowed to make few
apologies to this government. How
long are we going to let this long
whiskered brigand who is president of
Mexico put this sort of thing over US.
1t is about time something more than
polite notes should be exchanged.

Some of the weekly papers who vot-
ed and sustained the league PROPOSE
ton to do away with three official
newspapers for the counties of the
state, are praying to the Almighty
that Attorney General Langer's opin-
ion that the three papers are in force
until the end of the contract will be
sustained by the courts. These same
papers are willing to have that pro-
gram put on the rest of us but they
want to do it withiua taking some of
their own kind of medicine. We would
like to see some Of those straddlers
get touch of their own brewing SO
that it would pinch them little.
If Gen. Pershing is not pleased at
the reception he received in London
couple Of days ago, he is hard man
to please. The metropolis of Great
Britain never gave any king, poten-
tate or president greater or warmer
welcome than was given Gen: Persh-
ing in that city last week. The head
of the American forces was certainly
the man of the hour in that vast de-
monstration. The Londoners and
Britishers simply went crazy in that
demonstration. The United States
government - or rather our soldie
boys had it coming-they saved the
day in the big world war for the al
lied nations. Why wouldn't they give
the boys a royal send off.

President Wilson's talk with United
States senators regarding the league
of nations, has not materially changed
the opinion of any of the senators
| who have been opposed to the peace
pact in it's present form. It is doubt.
full if the peace treaty will be ratified
by this senate without certain amend
ments and reservations, and the best
way for the president to get actor
is to compromise with the senate. W.
think that the stand the senators arr
taking is absolutely all right, and w
are against adopting the treaty with
out change. The fact Of the matte
is we feel that we can get along yer,
nicely without joining this league Q
nations just as we did before. w
can always as an Independent nation
help out any worthy country as W
feel the need, and we are not keen 70
any partnership concern that bind
US to do the bidding Of any other ma
ton on earth. We can help the dis
tressed peoples Of the earth workin
independently without getting tangle
! up in any alliances we make in tn
future be sorrv for.

be nothing elaborate about this cele-
bration but there will be something
doing all day long at Chautauqua
Park and an endeavor will be made by
those in charge to show the boys that
the welcome extended to them comes
from the heart of all the citizens of
Barnes county. We welcome the boys
to the city tomorrow and trust that
they will be favored with fair weather
and that their entertainment will be
pleasant and satisfactory. The town
folks have gone to lot of expense in
this matter, have worked hard to pro-
vide this home coming celebration and
their desire is that each and every boy
who has worn the uniform Of the
United States in any branch will come
to Valley City tomorrow and be the
guests Of the peaple of Valley City
and Barnes county.

Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota, is one of the republican sena-
tors received at the White House by
the president and among those the
chief executive wants to help him put
over the league of nations stunt. Mr..
McCumber has been in favor of the
league of nations right along, but we
are of the opinion he is on the wrong
side of the question. Under the pres
ent form we do not believe majority
of the people of this state are in fav-
or of the peace pact governing this
league of nations idea. How many
farmers will consent to having their
sons bound up by league that says
they must 60 and fight for some 9TH
er nation if some nation gets mixed
up in a row. Not very many.

We read in the Fargo Forum that a
Mrs. O'Neill is talked of as an ap-
pointee for the administration board
which has the control of the schools
of the state and that Mr.. O'Neill has
made the statement that she pledges
the support of the suffrage people of
the state to the league. The lady may
be appointed to this board, all right,
but that is about as far as she can 60
when it comes to hog tying and bind
ing the woman suffrage forces to the
support of the socialistic organization
that has now fastened itself on the
state. The women Of North Dakota
are too independent to allow Mrs.
O'Neill or anybody else to vote them
at will and we are IF the opinion that
when it comes to the time for them
to vote on state and presidential Of
fees they will vote absolutely differ
ent than what Mrs. O'Neill thinks they
will.

contemplate the return Of the entire
American expeditionary forces. by
September. Because Of this General
March, chief of staff, is making every
effort to speed up the rehabilitation
in this country.
An official announcement issued
today as to the accumulation of sur
plus clothing for the troops stated
that the estimates were based ION
"troop withdrawal to be completed
in September" The statement also
said that eff an army Of occupation
is maintained after September q por-
ton of this surplus will be needed"
This computation was taken to re-
fleet exactly the present information

movements.
The September date represents es-

the maximum possible speed in with
drawing the entire force in Europe,
including the troops holding the Co.

If anything, officers anticipate that
the movement will be accelerated
rather than retarded. The. schedule
has been exceeded recently and in
increasing measure from week to
week with an indicated monthly
movement of 100000 men, the best
predictions of General March and his
aides bid fair, it was said, to be more
than realized. ...... &. !.

OVER 200 DRINK CURE
INSTITUTIONS TO CLOSE

Chicago, May. S.-Plans are be-
ing made by owners Of more than
200 drink cure institutions to dis
continue business with the coming Of
national prohibition, according to ef'
ficials of institutions here. A few
Of the places may continue indef'
nitely as drug cure sanitariuns, but
a large majority is expected to close
within year. i.
James E. Bruce, an official of q
drink cure corporation that adver.
tises it has cured more than 100000
victims of alcohol, said the prohibi.
ton wave had for some time caused
decreased business. .......<.
"We figure there will be no need
for our institutions after the coun.
try goes dry" he said. However
we expect business to increase for q
few months right after prohibition
becomes effective. But after that il
will rapidly decrease. 80
"a few years ago we had sixty
branches in operation throughout the
country. Today we have 26. Drug
cases constitute about Is per cent oi
our business, the number being about
the same as before the Harrison an
ti-drug law went into. effect five
years ago. But we do not think il
would pay to: continue treating drus
cases alone"

from rates except to refund storage
charges; but with the losses in such
houses not over two per cent, there
is practically no risk on the farmers
part.
Laurens County has taken a decid.
edly progressive step in this matter
and it is expected that many other
counties and communities not al
ready provided with potato houses
will follow suit.
