RECALLS CORNER
STONE LAYING IN
LONG A GO 1888

The coming Of Wilson to Bismarck
on Wilson day, Wednesday, September
10, recalls other presidential visits to
the capital city. The most famous Of
these was in 1883, when Bismarck
entertained President Grant, Sher-
man and other notables in honor of
the laying of the cornerstone Of the
new capitol. ....
That was great day for Bismarck.
Many were the predictions made of
future glory for the Queen City of the
prairies. It has realized some of these
promises. Others are yet for the
future, but Bismarck has never lost
the place on the map which she held
even in that early day, and the COM
ing of another great war president to
deliver here one of the most signi-
fcant messages the world ever has re-
ceived is evidence Of fulfillment Of the
hopes Of that early day. -.. R.

WILSON AS THE
PHRASE MAKER

A happy faculty for making apt
phrases has done more than any
one thing to bring nationwide at
tention to President Wilson'S writ
ings. A few of his better known
phrases are:
'There is such thing as man
being too proud to fight
"The world must be made safe
for democracy" a.
"A little group Of wilful men"
"There is no hate in our hearts
for the German people, Il
He kept us out of, war; was the
keynote of his campaign for re-elec-
tion altho it it not known whether
he coined that phrase.
Neutrality of mind as well as

AUER FORCED OUT
AT PISTOLS POINT
Soldiers Threatened Him in
Home Last December.

This "a not the first time that Herr
Auer has been attacked as n result OF
his political activities. Early In De-
osmber n crowd OF armed soldiers went
70 his residence and after forcing an
entrance compelled Herr Auer 10 resign
as Bavarian Minister of the Interior.
He was given two minutes TO decide.
with revolver pointed at his head.
and was forced to put his resignation
into writing.
At first Herr Auer wrote that he had
been overcome by about 800 soldiers
and that he was surrendering his office
under threats of death This did not
satisfy the intruders. however. and he
was forced to make another statement
saying his resignation was voluntary.
After obtaining Auers resignation the
crowd went 10 the home of Premier
Eisner and Informed him what they had
done. He rebuked them. saying that
although their action was well meant
and done through regard for him II
was not good. Two or three days later
Premier Eisner issued statement 10

Auer under duress was naturally void
and that he remains a member of the

MAY REPATRIATE u. S.
UNITS VIA GERMANY
Substitute for Holland Plan to
Be Submitted to Wilson.

BERLIN, Feb. 20 (delayed) A pro-
posal 10 transport several hundred thou
sand men OF the American Expeditionary
Forces to the United States by way Of
Germany. placing them on board ships
at Bremen and Hamburg, has been SUBJ
mitted to the American authorities. Ac-
cording to present arrangements. how
ever. the first OF the American units to
be repatriated in German steamships
will embark from the Netherlands. but
II is said here that American Army
headquarters Is inclined to consider ia
vorably the use OF the route through
Germany for some of the late embarka-
lions.
The proposal, which was submitted by
the directors of the North German Lloyd
Line with the approval Of the German
Government provided that a fleet of big
liners with a normal carrying capacity
of $4,000 passengers should be assigned
to this service and the troops trans
ported from their present stations over
the direct trunk lines to Bremen ana
Hamburg over these lines. according
to Gen. Groener. now in charge of the
German railways, a speedy movement
would be practical. The steamships
would be capable of making eight round
trips in year. making it possible to re-
period. American experts say. however
II the ships were loaded in accordance
with American military practice they
would carry at least twice that number,
or 100000 the trip.
The steamship directors, in a memoir
andum to Gen. Pershing, said the plan
would relieve the overtaxed French rail-
ways and ports OF part OF the burden
OF the homeward movement OF the
American army and provide a quicker
route.
The company was informed in reply
that the American Government was al
ready committed to the scheme for en-
bsrkation by way OF Holland and that
corollary arrangements had been made
for moving the first food shipments into
Germany by way of Holland and the
Rhine, but that the German proposal Is
would be submitted to President Wilson
and It was probable that advantage
would be taken OF them In subsequent
troop movements.
