PLAN CLOSER UNION
Movement to Draw English
Speaking Peoples Together.
First Branch Of Union to Be Estab-
Iished In America Is In
Philadelphia.

WashIngton.--It is the general feel.
ing that the foundation on which the
proposed League of Nations must be
built is complete understanding and
friendly cooperation between the two
great English-speaking peoples; that
on the Americans and the British win
fall largely the task of making the
world safe for democracy. Realizing
this, group Of Americans and Brit
ishers have started a movement to
draw the Engllsh-speaking peoples OF
the world closer together in the bond
of comradeship and have organized
the English Union.
The aim of the union is, briefly, to
make the English-speaking peoples Of
the world better known to each other,
whether they be Americans, Austria
lians, Canadians, New Zealanders,
South Africans, Observation-Disclosures or
the inhabitants of the British isles
and their dependencies. 1t does not
aim at formal alliances, nor is it con-
cerned with the relationship of govern
ments; it is solely and simply good
fellowship movement among the PEG
pie "who speak the tongue that Shake
speare spake."
The aim Of the promoters, American
and British, is that no citizen Of the
English-speaking world should ever
feel lonely again after the war, that no
American visiting the old country
should ever want friend, and that no
Britisher should ever want one in the
great republic. They plan to make
these peoples better known to each
ether in various ways-by the inter
change of visits, by correspondence, by
the printed word, by lectures, by an
interchange OF professors and preach
ers, by sporting contests and by every
other possible means.
1t was Admiral Sims who said the
other day that ''if only an interchange
of 100000 young men from our leading
schools on both sides OF the Atlantic
could be made annually there would
be no possibility Of future misunder
standings between u.s." In 95 per cent
of the things that matter the English
speaking peoples, whether they come
from the United States, from the Brit,
ish dOminions in the far antipodes, or
from the mother country, have the
same outlook, the same ideals, the
same conceptions of right and wrong,
the same laws, the same literature. It
is only in the remaining per cent of
superficial things that they differ.
The first branch of the English.
Speaking Union to be established in
America lis in Philadelphia and the
first European branch is In London.
Its monthly magazine already has
been started.

BRITISH DEFY FOES MINES.
invention Of Naval officer Enabled
Ships to Push into HeIaoland
Blight.

Uondon.--Mines and mine fields were
rendered obsolete by the development
Of the "paravene," the invention Of
Lieutenant Burnley and consistently
urged upon the British navy by Adj
miral Sir Hedworth Meux. This In
strument was officially adopted by the
navy early in 1916 and was so success
full that special factories were built
for its construction.
1t is now learned that the British
grand fleet on several occasions pushed
right into the blight Of Helgoland,
which, if mines mean anything, would
have been death trap for ships. Ger
man experts never solved the mystery.
From the time of its adoption to the
close of the war only two warships
were reported having been sunk by
mines. The most recent use of the
''paravenes" was on the occasion of
British warships entering the Baltic
through closely mine-strewn area.
The steel wire mooring ropes of the
mines are said to have been cut by the
paravenes as a string is cut by scis-
sOrs.

DOCTORS.

A doctor is high grade mechanic
who tinkers with the human mocha.
-nism and makes repairs and altera'
lions at reasonable rates.
Doctors are so wise that they can
tell what makes a mans great toe
swell by looking at his grocery bill.
A good doctor can take a drop Of
blood from total stranger, and af-
fer looking at it through a micro
scope, will often be able to shake
hands with at least a dozen varie-
ties of microbes, which are old
friends Of his. Some doctors are
wiser than that. They are so wise
that they can tell whether a pat,
lent needs 80 cents worth Of medi,
cine or a $3.50 operation, without
looking at him at all, provided they
can find his rating in Bradstreet's.
These doctors, like some wizards
of finance, are considered too wise,
however
Doctors are manufactured by
medical colleges In such quantities
that new doctor has to wait two
years for the sick-list to catch up,
and give him his share Of work. Medi-
cal students are very wild, wearing
boards on the slightest provocation
and going around with their pockets
full of picked ears from the dissect-
ing room. But after they have set
tied down to practice, they become
grave and dignifled. There is nothing
more dignified than q very young
doctor who is trying to diagnose a
case Of chickenpox, freehand, with
out looking at the book, except per.
baps an old doctor, when he meets a
young doctor, who has had the au-
dacity to come into the old doctors
town, and breathe up some Of his
air. . Doctors are very formal and
are stuffed full Of ethics. Doctors
must not advertise or encourage the
public In any way, except by wear
ing tall silk hats and joining fra
ternal orders. Many man who has
acquired a rare and expensive dis
ease has died Of It, because the only
doctor In his part who knows any.

Length of Lobsters.

Whatever may be the excellent In
tent of the bill fled in the Massachu-
sets legislature reducing the length Of
Holsters that may be legally taken from
9 to s inches, the measure might well
be entitled bill to further the exter-
mination Of the lobster. The lobster
is rapidly disappearing, partly, at any
rate, because young and immature
specimens are permitted by law to be
caught. The present 8 inches in this
state is shorter than the Maine law
allows-and that is none too long

TAXES CAMEL'S PLACE
Jerusalem IS Modernized by Mo-
t0rtruCk.
Beasts OF Burden Are smothered %
Dust Of Speeding Auto
mobiles.

Jerusalem.-The life Of two periods
distant by many centuries, seems to
flow along the roads that lead to this
ancient city.
The camel, though he has done great
things for the British forces, is losing
his position as the main means Of
transport, and the natives driving their
camels carrying huge packs of East
ern merchandise are passed by the big
engines of the evergrowing British
broad-gauge railway, at which the
country people stare with open
mouthed establishment. Then along
will come an Assyrian or an Arab on
his donkey or mule, his wife walking
behind and carrying a great pack on
her mead. In this way they transport
much stuff for many miles. Now they
are smothered in dust from the great
quantity Of motor transport on the
roads.
The five barley loaves and small
fishes still have to feed a good many
people in this country, and women
may still be seen grinding their scanty
cup Of corn between stones, but now
with the introduction of good seed the
country already is showing signs Of
vast Improvement. Cotton is still
made up into rough material in a
primitive method on a kind Of bow.
With the new opportunities now open
ing up the old spinner is likely to be
looking for another job.
Already in quite small towns you
will see names Of wei1-known London
firms. This has aroused the local
shops to kind of competition, and all
kinds of important signs over small
shops, with hardly anything to sell, an
nOunee: "The Provisions" "The Up
tO-date Hosiery and Dry Goods Store"
"The Manchester House." and many
similar. It is doubtful If 8 per cent Of
the prospective customers can read
the signs.
Shepherds on the hills still tend
their flocks, dressed In camel hair, and
nightly light their camp fires to keep
of the prowling jackals and hyenas.
But in the future much Of this rich
land, now practically barren, Is likely
to receive the attention Of the steam
tractor.
Altogether, with the present means
of transport by rail, the great improve
ment in the water supply and the
rapid introduction Of European meth
DDS and customs, it may be hoped q
year or two Of peace viii change this
country into a real ''land milk and
hnnev.D

COMMISSIONERS WILL GIVE
MERCHANDISE TO THE NEEDY
No One Will Be Permitted to Suffer
Because Of Fact That Mothers
Pensioas Cannot Be Paid.

Olaf Lokensgard and Aug. Krantz,
members Of the Ward county board
Of commissioners, have returned from
Bismarck, where they endeavored to
get . law passed, Offering some solu-
tion for the raising Of money to pay
the Mothers pensions in the county.
The legislature was prone to take up
the matter and no bills was passed.
Ward county has 70 mothers who
have been receiving pensions aggregat-
ing $2,O6O.80 per month or $24 go
for the year. The limit for the poor
fund is $22,449.0O, consequently the
pensions amount to about $4,000 more
than the limit for the poor fund, leav-
ing nothing to care for the county's
poor at the county farm. The COM
missioners suggested that . bill be
drafted, applying to counties with
10000 population or more, which
would include Ward county. In the
counties with smaller populations,
there has not been much trouble with
raising sufficient money. The legis-
lature did not desire to take up any
bills that would tend to increase taxes
more than they are at present.
The commissioners inform the In
dependent that while they are unable
to pay the mothers pensions ct the
present time, they will see that no
one suffers and will furnish them
food, clothing and fuel instead Of
money.
