that came from Petrograd Thursday

terially. They told of an anti-b0lshe-
visit strike Of the railway and trans
port men which had stopped commune
cations and prevented the city from

said the mensheviki and social revolu-
tiOnaries had actually started revolt
against the bolshevik regime and that
Lenine and TrOtZky had come to a
definite break over the formers insist
ence on some sort of treaty with
England, France and the United
States. Trotzky, Of course, holds the
military control, and he is regarded as
in stronger position than Lenine, es-
pecially so long as he can provide his
troops with sufficient food.
Interesting if not important Is the
intercepted wireless message from
Tchitcherin, Russian foreign minister.
to Bella Kun of Hungary, saying:
"The revolutionary movement GER
tainly is gaining in America. Amerl-
can newspapers say the states Of New
York. Pennsylvania. Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan are especially lmpreg-
mated by bOlshevism. A riot has taken
place in Philadelphia. which certainly
must be attributed to bolshevst nflu-

When the matter of the Rhineland
was taken up the effect of the German
protests again was evident. 1t was
virtually decided that there shall be
no buffer republic on the left bank of
the Rhine, but that that region shall
be neutralized and policed by allied
troops until the indemnities are paid !;
that the Saar coal basin shall not be
allotted to France. but shall remain
under German sovereignty, though its
products shall go to the French for a
certain period of years. 1t is presumed
that French and Belgian troops would
mold the left bank of the Rhine, since
the British have insufficient forces for
the purpose and America does not
wish to leave any soldiers in Europe
after the treaty is signed. King AL
bert of Belgium went to Paris last
week, probably to discuss his coun-
trys share in this occupation. He
called on Colonel House and President
Wilson.

The infrequent communiques of the
peace conference are about as inter
esting as excerpts from an almanac
and less informative. One bit of news
was given out-the fact that General
SHUTS had been dispatched to Hun
gary to study the situation there. This
did not please the Paris press, which
saw in it only another delay. 1t had
been hoped that General Mangin
would be sent east to deal with the
Hungarians. Official advices from
Budapest were to the effect that the
new soviet government. vas establish
ing itself and maintaining order, and
that it was disposed to make large
concessions to the allies in return for
food and fuel. 1t was supposed
SHUTS would open negotiations for
an amicable agreement Bella Kun and
his associates insist their government
is communistic rather than bolshevis
tic. The fact remains that Kun is in
constant communication with Lenine,
whose secretary he formerly was.

WILSON URGING MORE SPEED
ACCESSIBILITY of Coming to Terms With
Hungary and Russia Seriously Con-
sidered - Counter ReVoluton
Against Bolshevism-Bioody
Strike Riots in Ger
man Cities.
By EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Prodded by the public opinion OF
most of the world, and particularly by
the insistence of President Wilson,
the peace delegates in Paris speeded
up their work last week and really ac-
eomplshed something. Mr.. Wilson, 1t
was reliably reported, told them that
If results were not forthcoming soon
he might reveal to the public the real
causes of the delay, and just before
that he issued a statement denying
that the discussions over the league
of nations were to blame in that re-
spect. No one nation, said Mr.. Will
son, was solely to be blamed for hold
ing up the peace treaty, but dispatches
from Paris make it fairly clear that
many of the bitches bave been due to
the disparity between what the French
demand and what the Americans,
sometimes backed by the British, are
willing to impose on the conquered
Germans.
If present indications go for any
thing. those same beaten Huns are
going to come out of the peace con-
ference in fairly good shape. The Big
Four" last week concerned themselves
mainly with the major questions of
reparation, the west bank of the
Rhine, Danzig and the Italian frontier.
Unofficially, Germany has been taking
part in the conference, and its argu-
ments, presented by public officials,
the national assembly and the press,
seem to be having decided effect.
Though France still asserts that the
Huns should be required to pay the
last penny that can be got out of
them, and in this are supported by the
public opinion of most of the civilized
world, the peace delegates, influenced
apparently by the American represen-
tatives, have been scaling down the
amount of indemnity more and more
until the prediction now is that it will
be less than S20,00O,000 How
Germany shall pay and how long a
time shall be given her proves so com
plicated a question that it was consid-
cred probable last week that all that
will be left for decision by commits
sion after peace has been declared.
Germany has gold reserve of more
than S500,00O,0 900, and likely part of
this will be demanded as cash pay
ment to be disbursed in the devastated
regions of Belgium and France.

The allied delegates also were said
to be considering the advisability of
coming to an understanding with the
Russian soviet government and per-
hitting it to get food and materials.
This, Lenine says, is all he wants; If
it is granted his government can make
good, and then the allies can recognize
it if they wish to. He declares he is
willing to make peace without includ-
ing Hungary in the pact and will then
cease fighting and stop propaganda
work in other countries. All this, 1t
was reported, sounded good to the
peace-makers in view of the threats of
Germany to form an alliance with Rus
sia or to allow itself to go bolshevik"
if the terms of the treaty should not
be to their liking. Meanwhile the
soviet troops of Russia were very busy
carrying out their threat to start ma
jor operations on all fronts as soon as
the weather permitted. They began a
rather formidable invasion of East
Prussia and were met there by a Ger
man army which has been organized
by Won Hindenburg. They continued
their operations in the south and made
repeated and heavy attacks on the
allied forces in the Archangel region
There, however, they had little sue
cess. But that the northern Russian
situation is considered serious by the
allies is evidenced by the fact that the
British government announced that re-
endorsements would Immediately fol-
low the American troops then on the

CALVIN B. BROWN DELIVERS FINE
ADDRESS TO W|LuST0N MERCHANTS
ENTERTAINED AT LUNCHEON DIRECTORS CROWD
ATTENDS MEETING IN ERNOON-PLANS LAID
FOR

One Of the most enthusiastic busi-
ness mems meeting ever held in the
city was held yesterday when Calvin
B. Brown, Chief of the Organization
Bureau of the United States Chamber
of Commerce came to talk to the To-
cal business men.
A monday luncheon was held at
the Elk's Home at which the direc-
tors of the local Community Club en-
tertained Mr.. Brown and W. E. Hol-
bein, Secretary of the Minot Associa-
ton of Commerce. Many topics and
ideas for the perfecting and the bet
teri1g of the local club was discussed
at the luncheon.
Mass Meeting at p. NJ.
At three o'clock a general mass
meeting was held in the lodge room
of the Elk's Home at which over $50
of the business men of Wi1liston at
tended. The meeting was called to
order by w. B. Overson acting as
chairman. He stated the purpose of
the meeting as being called to dis
cuss the needs in Williston in regard
to Community Club and further
stated "that we were very fortunate
in having Mr.. Calvin B. Brown with
US at this meeting. He being man
who was we'll posted in this work,
having served with the government
Chamber of Commerce for a number
of years."
Brown Gives Talk
Mr.. Brown was then introduc ced
and gave the businessmen what is
without doubt the best talk of its
kind ever delivered in Williston. Mr..
Brewn started his talk by stating,
that, che wished to state why he was
here and what he represented. lie
said, "that in 1912 the United States
was the only large power Of the
world that did not have it's business
organized nationally. During Tafts
administration the question was brot
up and the result was the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce. Today the
business of the country is organized
under this head and is recognized by
the government. A bureau of ser
vice is In connection with the organ
ization which can be Of benefit to any
town or city that will take advantage
Of it. All towns over 5000 popula-
ton should be organized and have a
Commercial club of some kind.
~ feel sure, said Mr.. Brown, that
the men of Williston see the need Of
such an organization and / know
they are going to start one. A club
of this kind will represent the entire
community and is the only possible
medium by which the people can ex-
press their thoughts collectively. 1t
was with this kind of an organization
by which the city of San Francisco
was rebuilt after the earthquake,
Omaha after the tornado and Calves
ton after the flood. 1t will be an Or
ganization of this kind that will re:

build France and Belgium" 4"
A Good Citizen

eve have lots of good men in the
community but many of them are not
good citizens. A man that is good,
tends to his business and is good to
his family is not good citizen. A
good citizen is one that takes active
interest in the welfare and the up
building of the community. In start
ing your club here you should make
the program as short as possible and
with definite purpose. 1t should be
one of activities and must be divided
into five heads, Production, Transpor-
tation, Industry, Commerce, and City.
OF these the first is the most impor-
tant for when you have developed
the production you have made it nee
essary for increased labor and increas-
ed labor means that the retail busi-
ness will be increased. Transporter
ton is the next most important on
the list and must be used to make an
accessible market for the production,
all obstructions must be removed and
the Shortest route possible found to
market.
The Government has solved these
problems and has practiced them till
today they have worked up a world
trade and other nations must trade
with the United States
Work of Local Club
The local Community Club must
| look after sales, celebrations, and
conduct salesmanship classes and
work to get the club so that it will
ho of interest to the farmer az well
as the merchant. In many towns OF
the east they are erecting what is
called community house where the
| businessmen and the farmers may
get together. and talk over matters
Of interest. 1t is also place where
the farmers can make their headquar-
ters when in town. We know that
the town will grow better but the
| Community Club is a means to hasten
the betterment.
Americas Principle
"The war was not won alone IN the
trenches, stated Mr.. Brown, but was
won in the fields, in the factories, at
the desk, in the homes. Our flag has
gone forth and stands for the freedom
of all mankind and what we have
done we will continue to do.
Russia is in turmoil today and over
come by class rule but am not afraid
of Bolshivike rule in America. This
was the land Of opportunity before
the war and will continue, hope, to
be the land Of opportunity. We will
work for a league of nations and for
the enforcement Of peace"
Business Is Good
In commenting on the business in
general throughout the country Mr..
Brown said, Business today as
whole was never better. Factories

United States of America, thank

There's long, long trail, a'wind-
ing back through the last two years
Of existence, leading in retrospection
through miles and miles of hiking:
muddy roads in the United States,
and far muddier roads in France;
billets that were shelters in name
only; days Of homesickness, days of
despair, days of eXultation and pass
ing moments of supreme happiness
and joy.
I shall drop into familiarity with
the Old Mother Goose jingle and
paraphrase: ...-.
"The old North Dakota offered it's
all,
The First North Dakota answered
the call,
All the Kaiser's horses and all of

In September of 1917 over 5000
North Dakota men left the confines
of the old state for Camp Greene,

just 622 former members Of those:

Noah Panger and j. T.. Field who
left Williston last fall to take posi-

arrived back in Williston last Wed
nesday after seeing active service in
France. Mr.. Panger expects to re-

expects to return to the Y. service
and will sail for Europe in short
while.
Mr.. Field was the first to reach
France, Mr.. Panger getting there
about week after he did. Field
reached Paris the day the Armistice
was signed and attended the great
celebration that was held in that city
Attack of Flu
On arriving in France Mr.. Field
became ill with the Flu and was un-
able to do much work on first arriv-
ing there. While he was recovering
from his illness he had a chance to
see some of the sights and took ad-
vantage of his time and visited many
noted historical places in that coun-
try. While there he took part in the
celebration that was held when
Alasce Lorraine was taken over by
the French and he stated that he had
the ii me of his life. A large parade
was held in which all the allied ma
tions took part and they marched
down one of the principle streets of
Paris. Mr.. Field said, "the Ameri-

SUCCESSFUL STORY
|. ON COOPERATION
CITIZENS OF WILLISTON COM.
MUNITY MAKE BIG SUCCESS
OF CREAMERY
BY John Bruegger

Some years ago a movement to fos-
ter the dairy industry was started in
this community on the cooperative
plan, but were it not for the great
merit in the movement, the many
disappointing problems encountered
would have discouraged the venture,
and another locality would have been
numbered among the failures in the
line of cooperation for community
building. But the strong determina-
tion of some of the dairy men, back
ed up by the business men and the
bankers of the city could not be dis
couraged. Early developments brot
about unfortunate conditions that
sadly impaired the capital. Through
neglect of statutory requirements the
charter was forfeited, but a reorgan-
ization was brought about by obtain
ing new charter, the new organiza-
tion agreeing to redeem the capital
stock paid into the old company, take
charge of all contracts, and assume
obligations Of record on their books
A heavy profit and loss charge was
required to cover the shortage exist
ing. This was approximately two
years ago A new board was elected
and one of their first acts was to OBJ,
tain the services Of Mr.. F. F.. Erick,
son, a highly recommended cream
cry man, one who has made the
creamery work life study, and by
his devotion to the cause has obtain
ed results that are marvellous in the
extreme His close attention tt
every detail in the work is a notable
feature, and proves the assertion
often made, that it pays to obtain th'
services of man that has made ;
study of subject, and is devoted t.
it's development, in preference t.
paying mans time when he has NJ
knowledge of the work required t.
obtain results.
The dairy movement has mad
great progress since we have had ;
