SEAPORT FAVORS
 NATIONS LEAGUE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Renewing debate in the Senate today on the proposal for league of nations, Senator Shafroth of Colorado, Demo- crat, urged immediate formation of such league and criticised those who have advocated postponement of consideration oi this question by the peace cCnfeere.
 Senator Sharofth particularly at tackled the resolution of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Republican, now before the foreign relations committee which proposed that ac tion by the peace congress be defer red.
 There are two ways of defeating the plan for league of nations" the Colorado senator said, first by openly opposing and voting against it; and, second, by postpOning it's consideration to a time when ohtre subjects are expressing the attent- ion of the world and when there may exist divisions and disputes among nations which might destroy any chance of eecting an agreement. In my judugment to vote for the Knox resolution proposing postpone ment, is virtually to vote against the formation of any league of nations for the purpose of avoiding wars.
 President Wilson is now in Flu rope emdeavoring to negotiate a peace treaty that not only will set tie the disputes as 60 the nations in this war, but that will at least have tendency to prevent wars in the future As we have said so many times that we are fighting for a per manent peace among nations of the world that this is awar to end all war, it seems to be inconsistent with our own declarations when we ad- wise that he make no treaty with 1e- spect to the world peace. He knows the situation and views of the ma tions, and as to whether we can get treaty that will insure the peace to the world better than we who have no communication with the re- plesentatives of other nations. It may be that he will not accomplish the thing which we all desire, name ly making the world safe from wars, but we impair his Influence if we pass resolutions that he should not endeavor to accomplish the aim, for which we entered the war. the peace of the world.
 Now is the physiological mom- ent to produce such an agreement, and if there is any one in the Uni ted States who could produce such happy result it is the president, who, as demonstrations in Europe show is held not only in the highest regard, but in the greatest affec- tion by the peoples of the entente powers. To impose our advice on him when we are not familiar with the situation, it seems to me, is a proceeding which would greatly weaken his influence in the negot- iations of the treaty"

 San Francisco, Calf. Jan. 14--Al- most in the hour that the lower House of the California legislature in ses- sion at Sacramento. was taking final action toward ratification of the Fed Leral constitutional prohibition amend ment, Judge James Troutt. in super- for court here. issued an order tenn norarily. restraining Governor William D. Stephens. from certifvine to the Secretary of State, California's rati- fication of the Federal amendment.
 Judge Troutt also issued an alter native writ requiring the Governor to appear in court here next Monday and show cause why the order should not be made permanent. Both orders were granted on petition of Ephraim Lioht, grape grower. N

STRIKING SWITCHMEN
 GATHER RECRUITS

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 14.-Confer- ence today between railroad officials and striking white switchmen failed to result in settlement of the dis pute over the employment of negro switchmen. and a report of conditions here was made tonight to the regional director of the Federal Railroad Ad- ministratiOn. The men claim loO white switchmen are out on the Illi- nois Central, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and the St. Louis and San Francisco railroads. No serious con- gestion has resulted thus far, says railroad officials.

Inquiries concerning the welfare Of

airy forces, who have not been heard
from for some time, have been arriv-
ing at the bureau of communication

the rate of 1000 a day. These in

ton of the army it is increasingly
difficult for the Red Cross to follow
up the cases.
The war department has recently
a courier service between
America and France to get the infor-
nation desired. Now all persons wish
ing to make inquiries as to the loca-
ton and welfare of soldiers should
write to the adjutant general, war de-
partment, Washington, D. c., instead
Of to the Red Cross.
In ases where there is doubt con-
corning casualty reports. or inquiries

handled more quickly direct through

Giant Bear Gives Another Party.

yelling with pain at every jump, while
those angry Bumblebees followed
those two scamps, and stung them
every step Of the way. Giant Bear
stood up on his hind legs and watched
Jimmy Coon and Teddy Postum get
ting stung by those angry Bumblebees
And Giant Bear laughed heartily, in
his deep pass voice, and chuckled
aloud: I wonder If those two ras-
calls found my honey hot enough for
their greedy mouths? 1 guess now
they will stop laughing at. me and
calling me q coward!"
Then Cousin Bruin invited Dick
Party; and these two rascals accepted
the invitation, because they had not
heard of the huge prank that Giant
Bear had played on Jimmy Coon and
Teddy Postum. When Dick Otter and
Benny Mink arrived at Giant Bears
house, he welcomed them with open
arms and gave them both such a hug
both yelled out: "Oh, Giant Bear!
Don't hug us so hard; you will break
all our ribs! (You see. Giant Bear
is so strong, he doesn't know how
to play gentle.)
And Giant Bear took his two hun
cry guests, Dick Otter. and Benny
Mink, into his big Dining room, which
was out Of doors las you remember,
IN the summer. And Giant Bear ex-
planned: Now, Dick Otter and Ben
ny Mink, l know you are both very
hungry and are both very fond Of
meat. You see those three gray pa
per bags, hanging up there on those
alder bushes? Well, each bag is rull
of lovely meat; and when I count
three. each of us will have a race to
see which fellow can get his bag of
sweet meat first Inc eat it up!'I have

ace"
And the eyes of Dick Otter and

and they both ran out their red ton

Anti American Propaganda.

How Americans in the German
prison camp at Rastatt banded to-
fgether to protect themselves from
anti-American propaganda circulated
in the camp and to keep firm the 10y
atty of any who might waver is re-
vealed by Sergeant Jules James
Bach of Utah, three years a prisoner
in four German camps. The propa-
ganda took the form of. newspapers
known as the continental Times
and America in Europe" which
were filled with clumsy lies about this
country and it's war activities. The
German authorities also sought to
seduce the loyalty of the Americans
by giving them better treatment than
hat accorded other prisoners, but
without success.
Aside from serving its primary pur-
pose of no%urishing the men who re-
ceived them, Sergeant Bach declares
that the liberality Of the food parcels
supplied the American prisoners by
the American Red Cross had a very
important effect on the German i'm
agination. Many German officers
visited Rastatt to see the food and
othe. supplies received by the Ameri-
cans and were unable to conceal their
surprise for the supplies in them
selves were a contradiction of the
German self-imposed notion that
America could become a potent factor
in the war.
Bach once escaped and reached the
Dutch border but was unable to cross
and after wandering about Germany
fo- some days was captured and pun
ished.

Big Order.

Sixteen boxes of garments leaving
the Grand Forks Red Cross chapter
rooms yesterday, bound for the divi-
sion headquarters at Minneapolis,
carried h greater share of the jan
uary production order, which the
Grand Forks county chapter had
been given. The order was a very
large one, n the chapter officials
and committees are particularly en-
thusiastic over the good work that
was done last month. The work was
exceptional not only from the view
point of quantity, but of quality as
we'll. and the response of the women
of the city and county indicates that
there still is a lively interest in the
Red Cross and its work.
These garments were shipped yes

Six hundred and fifty-tive mems day
shirts; 1875 French pajamas; ass

TO USE MOTOR TRUCKS.

Juneau. Alaska, Jan. 14.-(By
Mail.)-Motor trucks are likely to
%supplant teams in hauling most Of
the freight in Alaska over long roads
to points not connected by the gov
railroad, according to Major
William H. Waugh, president of the
Alaska road commission. This win
ter, he said, it was found that hauling
of freight IN. the Valdez-Fairbanks
road was handled more cheaply by
motor truck than by team.

work during the e summer as we
did last summer, and probably a good
deal more" said Major Waugh. Last
year we were hampered by labor
shortage, but this year I believe we
will have the employees n a larger
population to count on"
