FRANCE MAKES EFFORT
 TO RAISE BIRTH RATE

PARIS, Nov. II (by Associated ress.)-France's efforts to raise the birthrate and lower the death rate, by means of the new minister of hygiene, are too recent to be judged by comprehensive statistics. The importance of the problem, however, is given pessimistic prominence anew by publication of the labor ministry's statistics for 1919. :.
 There were three deaths to two births last year. In only one depart ment, Finisterre, did births exceed deaths. In a number deaths were double and even nearly treble the number of births.

GREAT PICTURE HERE T()NIll,N'T
 AT EMPRESS

Where is the man, woman or child wounded and disabled men from the conditions of social and industrial os- tracism which have surrounded them in the past?
 The congress of the United States has just appropriated the sum of $14000,000 for carrying on a work which will make or every disabled soldier sailor and marine of the late war an independent, self-supporting and self-respecting member of in- dustrial and social life in this coun- try. The National Elks War Relief commission has added for this work the sum of $250,000, for caring for those cases which are outside the purview of the ac: of congress, such as American boys who were wound ed while fighting in the armies of the Allies.
 The meaning of this great work is brought home to every person who sees "The Way Back" the five reel special feature picture which is to be shown at the Empress to- night.
 This picture was produced by the Elks war relief commission at a cost of S5O ono for the federal hoard for vocational education and the pro- ceeds from it will be devoted to this vocational training work. "The Way Back" is full of thrills of a most gripping character and ends with climax that leaves a lasting impress on the minds of all who see it.

LORD i CURZON TALKS ABOUT
 ASIA AFFAIRS

LONDON, Nov. 10 (by Associated Press. )-The expansion of the Brit ish empire in Central Asia is at an end and rightly so, Earl Curzon, sec retary of state for foreign affairs, told the Central Asian Society in an address here.-
 The function of Great Britain in the future, he added, was not to ab sorb territory there but to give evolution to different and higher state of things should be easy.
 The great bulk of Central Asia, he said, had been thrown into the vor tex of European politics. The Rus sian empire which Englishmen have regarded with apprehension had been, for the moment, obliterated from the scene, China was in the throes of a military crisis, the up- shot of which no one could forsee. Afghanistan had acquired some- thing like independence.
 All India was seething with agita tion and trying to establish some new form of government. In Tibet the British had been welcomed as friends.
 Lord Curzon expressed the hope that the Persian government and parliament would ratify the Anglo Persian agreement and that this would assure the integrity and in dependence of that country.
 He advocated setting up an Arab form of the administration in Meso- potamia and said Sir Percy Cox had gone out to assist in carrying on that work He hoped for some form of Arabian unity which would gratify the ambitions of the Arabs.
 In Afghanistan there was serious trouble and commotion.N The sec retary said he knew of no country in Central Asia where the Bolsheviki had greater hopes of causing trou- ble for Great Britain, yet he regard ed the interests of Afghanistan as identical with those of Britain. It might take years before the con- motion in Asia subsided and no one should suppose that the work of Englishmen in those countries was over.>

TOURIST CROP WAY
 SHY OF EXPECTATIONS

PARIS, Nov. II (by Associated Press.) - The enthusiastically pA- dicted 1,000,000 American tourists did not come to France this year but the hotel keepers, their association officials say, are satisfied.
 Instead, there were on record 200,- 900 police permits issued to tour ists intending to remain more than 15 days. Among these South Ameri- ca sent the greater number, with the United States a good second and other countries trailing.
 One ill wind that blew we'll in France was the high exchange rate of the. Swiss franc so that trevelers gave tho preference to this country where their money went about twice as far as in the Alps.

N!UMISMhTIC COINS
 lIYSTERIOUSLY STOLEN

LISBON, Nov. il (by Associated Press, s,)-Authoritie of the National library have been mystified by the tbeft of more than 100 gold coins of inestimable value from the famous numismatic collection at that insti- tuition. The fact that the keys of five doors were used and replaced and that all the most valuable coins were stolen, leads to the belief that the theft was committed by mem Der of the library staff
 The thief carefully rearranged the remaining coins so that those taken would not be quickly missed.

WILLIS DEAN KILLED
Emmons County Resident for Many
Years Hit By Train. Lived in
South Prairie Country for Many
Years.

The following account of the death
of Willis NJ. Dean, former Emmons
county, resident, has been received
from Mendoza, Ill.,, where he had
made his home with relatives:
Willis Morris Dean was born at
Cascade, Dubuque county, Iowa, May
6, 1913. His life was suddenly taken
by being struck by passenger train
On the afternoon Of June 23, 1920,
while crossing the Illinois Central
railroad track on his way down town
from his home in North Mendnta,
the time of his death he was Y years,
month and IL days old.
In 1874 he and his brother Rufus
again turned their faces toward the
Northwest, with the purpose Of TAX
ing up government land. After look
ing around for some time, tehy Sc
lected claims near the present site of
Linton, N. Dakota. On these claims
they remained until the death of Ru-
fus, which occurred in the year 1906.
Immediately following the death CT
the brother with when he had spent
Dean removed to Mendoza, ILL.,, where
he made his home with his brother
Gilbert and family. Since the death
cf both Gilbert D=an ard his wife,
he has made his home wit his nephew,
B. H. Dean, with whom he was liv-
ing at the time of his tragic death.
Mr.. Dean received good educa-
ton, was wide reader and took
great interest in te affairs of the day.
Having never married his life was
devoted to the interests of his broth
ers and sisters. his nerhews and nice
es and to his host CT friends.
All who knew hin: soon learned to
love him for his generous and unsel-
fish disposition and for his constant
efforts to promote the comfort and
happiness of everyone other than
himself. In spite of the fact that
he was in his ssventy-eight year, he
kept himself always young both in
activities and interests as is evidenc-
ed his wide circle of friends among
one great handicap in his later years
was the fact that he had almost en-
tirely lost his hearing, to which great
afflicticn may be attributed his trag-
ic death.
