Auguste Bourgeois belongs the his
torical honor of being the first men,

League of Nations. NJ. Bourgeois,

international Utopia.
He will be in favor of strong armed
forces to protect league members.

Overflow Meeting

OVCI1lUW W1ccCANS .a.
The auditorium could not hold
the afternoon crowds, and there
was an overflow meeting. In the
evening there was another meet
ing at the auditorium, which was
again crowded. At this session
Governor Frazier spoke.
A feature of the afternoon
was big parade Of leaguers
from league headquarters to the
auditorium. The marchers car.

From a standpoint of enthusi-
asm the mass meeting was un-
questionably a success. Farmers
came from both sides of the Red
river, in the valley, and there
was a fair sprinkling from the
hinterland. Those who came,
however, were already Townley
converts. So far as the Scandi-
navian-American bank is con-
cerned, the effect Of the meeting
is still to be determined. The
Courier News, ,local Fargo or

lines the fact that the bank has
been saved, but it refrains from
quoting actual figures.

GERMANS FIRE ON BRITISH
Artillery Reported to Have
Opened Fire at Mouth of
Riga Harbor Sunday
GERMANS FIRE ON BRITISH

London, Oct. 22.-General Yuden-,
itch, commander of the northwestern
Russian army, seems to have been
brought to virtual standstill by the
stubborn defense of Petrograd, which
is almost within sight of his men.
Soviet forces are even reported to
have taken the offensive north of
Krasnos Selo, but details of the fight
ing have not been fully reported.
East of Pulkovo the Yudenitch army
appears to have encountered strong
Bolshevik columns. Pulkovo is about
three miles from the only remaining
railroad running south from Petro-
grad, and the Importance of retaining
control of this road may explain the
savage fighting in that sector. Late
reports state that heavier artillery is
being brought up by General Yuden-
itch.
Soviet Troops Scattered
Soviet troops reported to have been
concentrated close to iGdoff, near Lake
Peipus, are said to have been scat
tered by the anti -Bolsheviki. The
presence of this force. on the left
flank of the Yudenitch army consti-
tuted seeming menace to the whole
movement against Petrograd and also
appears to indicate the Bolsheviki are
still quite strong.
Kronstadt has not been surrendered
to the anti-Bolsheviki and has not
been attacked, according to the Brit
ish admiralty statement
, Official reports issued from soviet
headquarters at Moscow admits the
loss of Kiev but makes no further
mention of the claim that Orel, 12O
miles south of Moscow, has been re-
captured from General Denekine's
Cossacks.

Mrs. Wilson WOOdrOW'S Article
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW,
The world .famous writer on vital subjects.

A young man who admits that he is
~eternally s%quabbling with his sweet
heart, and that he is unable to get
along with his prospective mother-in-
law at all, asks me II / indorse h old
saying, the course of true love never
runs SMOOTH"
To the unprejudiced observer Il might
seem that in his case at least the cur
rent would flow less roughly II he were
to apply a little Of the oil Of tact and
consideration to the fretted waters. He
never stops to think hat perhaps he
himself may be stirring up most of the
commotion by continually thrusting in
his oar; but like many other people in
trouble of n kind or another, seeks to
shift the responsibility for his difficult
ties off upon the Deity.
81 have been going about with a
young lady for the past nine months, y
he says in his letter. = Il love her, and
she says she loves me. But 1t seems
as If It was Gods " wish that we
should never agree. The causes OF our
disputes are often ST trivial that II
hardly seems possible two people could
be on the outs, as the saying goes, over
such petty questions.
"Still. such being the case, isn't It
best that VIZ should agree to disagree
now before 1t Is too late. rather than
go on perhaps ruin our lives and
be unhappy to the ond Of our days?
Another thing | would like to ask
is, Can a mar look forward to a happy
marriage, when the mother Of his
prospective wife Is so %prejudiced against
him that she actually forhids him to
enter her homer Isn't IT likely that a
woman Of this sort would entlce her
daughter back, and by influence and
persuasion estrange her from her hus-
band?
''The mother OF my fiancee will never
consent to our marriage, although she
has no reason for this except that she
does not like me, My character is per-
feet, ! have a fair position al Il fair
salary, and am able to support a wife.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-23

Also, as | have already said, the girl
and | love each other dearly. But all
this seems to carry no weight,
III my Observation-Disclosures does not
consent to the marriage, she will still
be my mother-in-law just the same and
capable OF causing the trouble of which
/ have spoken, unless she disowns her
daughter, which is possible, as the girl
has consented to elope with me in case
her mother continues obstinate, / am
70 years OF age and the young lady is
81"
] wonder II this young man realizes
what a picture OF opinionated self
satisfaction he draws of himself in this
naive epistle.
have no knowledge Of him, or his
fiancee, or her mother, other than lie
himself has set down. He mey be of
that high and sterling quality which
he evidently considers himself; the girl
as fussy and unreasonable as he repre-
sents her, and the mother a cantanker-
Gus old tyrant.
But solely on the strength Of this let
ter ! should say that the girl Of q
who left n comfortable home to link
her fortunes with his was making the
mistake OF her life, and that the moth
er. who had any regard for her daugh-
ter's future happiness, was fully JUST
fled In refusing to ~countenance him as
a sutton.
While we are on the subject OF old
sayings, 1t might, be well for him to
remember that there is another one
concerning which there has never been
any dispute, and that is, ut takes two
to make a quarrel
No matter what the character Of his
~fiancee, | can guess that at least half
Of the disputes of which he complains
are due to his insistence on having hts
own way, his inability to see thai there
are two sides to any question on which
he las made up his mind. And no mat
ter how disaRreeable the mother ma
be, | would be willing to wager that
much Of her objection to him Is based
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-23

upon his stubborn refusal to consider
her feelings or conciltate her in any
way.
Marriage IL a game Of give aud take.
Husband and wife must have a due re-
spect for each others opinions and a
Willingness to compromise; and where
two people, even in he days Of their
courtship, are continually wranEling
over minor differences, there seems very
little chance Of happiness ahead,
As Mark Twain once said "lf every
body thought the same way there never
woald be any horse races" Likewise,
there never would be a lot OF other
things that probably are Of a good deal
more advantage than even q derby or
a suburban. 1t Is on the clash OF minds
and the variance Of opinions that the
race has thrived and progressed. If We
all had been eternally of one accord,
we would doubtless still be monkeys
swinging In ~cocoanut trees,
And we are also learning through
bloody wars and much wars and much
travail that We cant automatically i'm
pose our own will and our " view
point on the other fellow. He has as
much right to his opinion as we have
to ours.
Tolerance, tact and avoidance OF dis
putes-especially where the question
doesn't matter Il whoOp n way or the
other-those are the things that make
not only the course of true love- but
all the universe run smooth.

You're doing fine!"
So Susie recited the second and the
third and all the other verses Of the
little piece, and. just as she finished the
last one, she looked at the little open
ing. through which she and Uncle Wig
gily had come into the dinghy dell, and
the rabbit girl whispered:
"oh, Uncle wiggtly! Look'1
what is it?' the bunny wanted to
know.
There's the bad Pipsisewah whis-
pered Susie, pointing with her paw,
He has followed us here, and now he's
waiting outside for us! Oh, what shall
/ do?"
III don't exactly know answered
the bunny rabbit, also whispering, Yes,
the Pipsisewah is there surely enough,
he added, as he saw the bad chap. The
Pipsisewah was sitting on a stone, Just
outside the front door to the dinghy del.
And the front door was the only way
out. There was no back door, and the
trees grew too thickly together with
bramble brier bushes in between for
Uncle Wiggily and Susie to get out any
way but the one they had come in
And if we go out that way, when
the Pipsisewah is there, he'll grab us
and bite off our souse,' said Susie
sadly.
Yes" said Uncle Wiggily, I'm
afraid he will"
DO YOU think it I recited the piece
I'm to speak that he'd go away" asked
the little rabbit girl,

spoke Susie. Il brought it to eat for
my own lunch. But II you fastened 1t
on a long stick, Uncle Wiggily, and
jabbed the Pip with the sharp end OF
the carrot, that might make him go
1T might softly said the bunny,
I'm try It,"
Quickly he tied the carrot on d long
stick, using the wisps OF twisted dried
grass for string. Then the bunny slyly
thrust the sharp-pointed carrot up
among the tree branches and labbed the
Pipsisewah In the fat part Of his back.
"Wouch! Wow! Wabble- whackies!
cried the bad chap. I'm stuck full OF
pine tree needles! This is no place for

didn't see Uncle Wiggily, with Susie
sharp, jabbing carrot.
Now we're all right" said the
bunny, as Susie put the carrot back In
her lunch basket. you can peel 1t for
recess" And Susie did, and she spoke
her piece perfectly and everybody, was
happy except the Pip, and de didn,i
deserve to be. And so, If the peach
shortcake doesn't stretch out so long
that it falls downstairs and makes the
