BRUNSWICK SHOP COMPLETED
Swalstead's New Jewelry and PhonO-
graph Shop Ready for
Business

| Workmen have been engaged for
the past three weeks remodehng and
decorating the interior Of the Swal-
stead jewelry store and what was
formerly the Halvorson shoe store
adjoining, and now the handsome
double store is ready for the inspec-
ton of the public. What was the
shoe store has been transformed into
one of the handsomest photograph
shops in the state, or for that mat
ter probably in the west. The room
is decorated exquisitely, the rear por-
ton being occupied by three hand
somely enameled booths in which the
salesman or prospective customer may
"try out" an instrument under the
most favorable conditions as respects
acoustics and tonal qualities. The
main floor is given over to display,
one side being occupied by large
number Of the handsomest designs
constructed by the Brunswick Bake
Co., one of the machines in particular
being known as the Gotham, a period
design of the very classiest type. Any
of the machines are fit to embellish
the home Of any music lover or con-
nisseur Of artistic instruments. Ar
ranged about the room are several,
handsome, upholstered settees and
easy chairs where one may 60 and
enjoy rest in comfort or sit at one
of the writing desks and ndite a
letter as pleasure calls. The whole
making one Of the most comfortable
and convenient rest rooms in the city.
This room connects with the jewelry
store by large open arch-way. In the
jewelry store, the decorators have
changed the fixtures completely in so
far as outward appearance goes, Civ
ing them coat which changes their
exteriors from a bright gold oak into
a dark mahogany color. The side
cases and show cases extend along the
entire length of the room. The bal
cony has been torn out and here on the
main floor are the offices and vaults.
The entire store will be ready for the
public the last of the week and no
one in Minot or vicinity should lose
an opportunity to inspect one Of the
most handsomely appointed jewelry
and monograph shops in the west.
The Brunswick Shop as Mr.. .Swal-
stead has designated his new and
unique department is said to be the
only one devoted exclusively to the
sale of monographs in the state. Sew
eral additional clerks will be engaged
and thus Swalstead's will gradually
win reputation for prompt and eff
ficient service among its many pat
rons.

the matter up with the German Am

DaSSadOr.
II never suggested to Morgenthau
that he should cease intervening in
behalf Of the Armenians. I could not
do so not alone from humanitarian
motives but because I knew that this
intervention was part of his duties
as the American representative.
merely advised him to change his pro-
voking tactics in the whole matter.
ut is by no means a pleasant thing
to draw the attention of an Ambas-
sador to his liabilities. When I fin
ally decided to do so l was prompted
by the interests of the matter about
which we were commonly concerned,
and with regard to which I was in
position to speak with perfect free
dom, namely, the Palestine question.
America sent to Constantinople
three successive Jewish Ambassadors.
To have Jew as an American Am
bassador was a matter which in these
days of Jewish hardships in Palestine,
was of great Importance. Morgen-
thau weakened this important posi-
ton and through him the entire Jew
ish Palestine question was endan-
gered. I knew, not through German
circles, but by virtue of information
given me by the Grand Vizier, that
mined. I conveyed this fact to him
encing him to change his tactics even
at the last moment, those tactics
which made every step Of his, both
with regard to Armenia and the Jew
ish question, vain and useless.
Unfortunately Morgenthau failed
to understand that by his tactics he
aggravated the tragic situation of the
Armenians and incidently made hard
er the lot of the Jews. He was con-
cerned only with his personal atti-
tude, and already then he had come
to consider his failure which was
throughout of his own making, as
something of which he could be proud
"That this and no other is the his
tory of Mr.. Morgenthau in Constanti-
nople is perhaps best proven by the
destiny of his immediate successor
Mr.. Elkus, who is also Jew. He too
was depended upon to protect the Ar
and to support Jewish as
pirations. But no one could reproach
Mr.. Elkus with being disloyal or
against the interests of Tur-
Key and insulting her honor. On the
contrary he gained the sympathy of
The Turkish government to such an
extent that even after America de-
,lared itself at war with Turkey he
remained for many months in Con-
stantinople (under cover of being con-
and served the interests of
America splendidly even while his Of
icial residence was filled with hiding
Armenians.
~ retained the friendliest relations
With Elkus. I never had occasion to
warn him in any direction nor did he
ind it necessary to invent stories and
accusations against me.
zone can forgive human folly, but
Mr.. Morgenthau had no right to carve
or his own stage of acts portions
rom another's reputation, so that he
nay withdraw from the stage in the
ooise of a melodramatic hero.
"It's perhaps his attempt to shift
lis failure in the Armenian question
IN to me, also "a joke passed off over
cup of black coffee'?"
