.DETAlLS0F FIFTH
LIBERTY LOAN

The Times Record is now able to
give the details for the coming fifth
or Victory Loan which drive is to be
put on from April Fl to April "a. The
government is going to call Tor four
billion and half of bonds this time
drawing 4 ga per cent interest, ma
turing in four years, which makes
this very attractive proposition at
good interest. There are to be six
payments which is going to make it
fine for the investor who feels that
he cannot pay for these bonds at the
time of purchase and who needs all
the time he can get. Sixty per cent
of the money is payable in the fall
which will make it still better as most
of the money in this country comes
after the crop has been harvested.
These bonds will be convertible to
3-4 per cent notes which will be ex-
empt from taxation, making this prop
osition still better. Barnes county has
been asked and allotted a quota of
$9OO,O0O. The following are the pay
ments to be made on the next issue of
bonds:
10 per cent on application.
10 per cent July Is.
20 per cent August IL.
20 per cent September 9.
20 per cent October z.
20 per cent November II.
With these very liberal payments it
seems to us that the people Of Barnes
county should put this drive over with
a rush.

SCHOOL BOARD
RESOLUTION

Some time ago the school board
passed resolution which is given be-
low. We are publishing the same to-
gether with the letter from the mayor:
Valley City, April, II, 1919
Mr.. w. T. Craswell, Clerk.
Valley City, N. D.
Dear Mr.. Craswell: / have yours of
April 9th to hand and note the resolu-
ton as passed by the Board of Edu-
cation.
am in hearty accord with the stand
taken by the board and have again in
structed our police department to
strictly enforce this ordinance. How
ton permits the keepers of billiard
halls to allow boys under eighteen
years old to play their games provid-
ing they have written permission from
their parents. do not know just
what the conditions are at the present
time, but a year ago there were at
least a dozen school boys under eigh-
teen years of age who had the written
consent of their parents to visit these
places making it impossible for the
officers to enforce such law. l would
suggest that you get a copy of this
resolution in the hands of the parents
of every school boy under the super
vision of your Board of Education and
call their attention, to the fact that
these permits should not be issued.
I wish tosagain approve your action
and assure you of our hearty cooper
alton.
Yours very truly,
L. j. MOE.
Following is the resolution passed
by the Board of Education:
Whereas, it has come to our atten=
ton through complaints of parents
that school boys under Is years of age
are permitted to visit and to engage in
games in billiard halls in this city in
direct violation of the laws Of our
state, be it resolved, that, we consider
such practices to be against the best
interests of our schools, and that it is
hereby resolved, that, this condition
should be remedied at once, and that
a copy of this resolution be sent to
the mayor and to each billiard hall in
Valley City asking them to enforce tire
law.

IN INTEREsT-sAvl:-

American Soldiers IN the Arch
angel district are growing weary of
fighting the Bolshevikes in Russia and
are asking their superior officers why
they are not allowed to return home.
They claim they were conscripted to
fight Germany and now that we have
won that fight they feel that they
have done their duty and should be al
lowed to come home and go into civil
life again. The boys have a just
grievance in our opinion. So far as
we are concerned the whole lot of
cowardly Russians can fight among
themselves and kill each other off if
they want to. When they were needed
in the great war they quit like yellow
dogs. Now that the fight has been
won by American manhood assisted
by the men Of the other allied nations,
these cravens want us to fight their
battles, feed them good American food
and in other words to pull them out of
a bad hole. We favor this country
dropping the whole business and let
gint these Bolshevike nations work
out their own salvation. From the
tone Of the people over in Europe it
is about time also that our president
tucked his nightshirt into his suitcase,
boarded his boat and got back to
America where he is more appreciat-
ed. If the guys over there want to
keep up scrap over territory and
other matters for the next year or two
let this country make separate peace
with Germany, pay it's just financial
obligations, keep the United States
free from any other entangling ALI
ances and drop out of the peace
party and go about our business. We
have wiggled along very nicely for a
hundred or two years during which
time we have developed country that
in enterprise and financial greatness
excels any country in the world. We
are an Independent nation, willing at
all times to assist in the work of
helping the down fallen but we want
to keep our skirts clean from any al
lance that will get US into any trouble
in future years. We need our presi-
dent at home-we need the boys who
are in Russia at home and the sooner
we clean up over there and set
tie down to our home life the better.
Personally we are not very strong for
this leaue Of nations idea. We are
rather more favorable to one grand
nationrfree and Independent the
United States of America.

Recent press dispatches claim that
the peace conference cannot have for
mer kaiser Wilhelm tried and con-
victed of a capital crime but that some
sort of deal will be framed whereby
he will be put under restraint by the
allied powers. We cannot see how
the allied powers can keep man un-
der restraint if it is not legal as they
claim there is no international pre-
cedent for trying the ex-kaiser for a
capital crime If they try the kaiser
for one crime they can for another it
would seem to us, and if he is guilty
so that it is necessary to lock him up
for his crimes we can see no reason
why they cannot back him up against
a stone wall and shoot him. If it is
legal to lock him up why isn't is legal
to shoot him like any other military
prisoner if the court says he is
guilty. There seems to be some in
consistency in this matter some
where.

Instead of spending two hundred
thousand dollars for propaganda as
called for in the immigration bill,
why not give it to the farmers in the
western part of the state to buy seed
with-those who lost their crops from
drought and hail last year-it would
do a vast amount more good than to
hand over that big sum to a lot of
high priced orators who are chasing
around the state sowing the seeds of
discord and class hatred, and in our
judgment the immigration question
would be more greatly enhanced.
What we want now more than any,
thing else is to keep those settlers in
the western part of the state who we
know have had such poor luck the
past year or two. That would be real
immigration work and money we'll
spent in our judgment.

ALBANY, Nov. 7.-Strikes caused
reduction of per cent in the number
Of industrial workers earning wages
last month, according to a com mpiation
made public to-day by the State IN
dustrial Commission. The industries
principally affected were printing, steel,

not show any effect on the number Of
employees during October.

"Other divisions, however, employed

he could not vacatc the injunction pro-

the government ask for an extension of
time before argument on them. He
took the position, it was understood,
that if the miners made a definite pro-

Ban on Bunkering You'd
Delay 200 Ships Here
Sailings Of Thousands Of Pas
sengers Threatened by U. S.
Order to Stop Coal Supply

The decision Of the railroad admin
istration coal committee to discontinue
furnishing bunkcrs to foreign flag
ships, while not officially transmitted
to coal officials here, caused consd
cradle apprehension among steamship
interests yesterday. Owners and man
ayers of more than 200 foreign vessels
in port, included among which arc
thirty-six passenger vessels. said if
the order was enforced it v2uld mean
delays in sailings. Pending receipt of
the order by the local Office of the
committee bunkering permits are be-
ing issued as usual
Passengers booked for the ships due
to sail this week and early next week
are numb bered in thousands, and it was
stated that foreign flag passenger liners
are now the only vessels by which
travellers can move between the United
States and European ports. The Amer
lean line ships of the international
Mercantile Marine fleet either are en-
gagged in government service or are
being reconditioned for commercial
business at shipyards. Meetings Of
executive officials of the international
Mercantile Marine Company and the
Cunard Line took place to-day to dis
cuss the situation.
There are now in port or due to ar
rive this week eleven British pas
senger liners for which between 5000
and 5000 passengers are booked. The
Holland America Line has three ships
in port, for which 1000 passengers
are booked and there are two Italian
liners that will take between 1000 and
5000 passengers.
While Halifax can be counted upon
to furnish coal for many of the ships,
It was said because of the recent
heavy demands on the bunker facili-
ties there, as a result of the New York
longshoremcn's strike, delays were 10
be expected. American exporters would
feel seriously a delay in transmitting e
the cargoes with which most of the
foreign freighters are loaded.
At the Office OF the Tidewater Coal
Exchange it was said bunkering per
mits were being issued and would be
until orders to the contrary had been
received from Washington.

Mans Cry for Help
In Lower Bay Mystery
Searchers From scandinavian
Liner Unable to Find
Trace of Victim

The voice of man crying for help
came through the mists Of the Lower
Bay AT dawn yesterday to the lookout
on the Scandinavian 4 merican liner
United States, which was waiting for
daylight to negotiate the Narrows. A
boat was lowered and a search made.
No one was found and the CRIES ceased.
The only explanation offered of the
mystery was that a survivor OF the
schooner Cleaner. which blew up
Thursday evening off Sixty ninth
Street. Brooklyn. had managed to keep
ahoat for ten or twelve hours. That
seemed so improbable that the ship
officers elected to let the incident re-
main a mystery.
At Copenhagen the United States was
delayed for more than a month by a
strike. Among the passengers were
Johan Michelet. Norwegian Minister to
China; Kinyer Wang, who Went from
Berlin to Copenhagen as secretary of
the Chinese Legation. and Wilhelm
Nett. whose department; store is the
largest in Scandinavia.
