The movement which has at its
head the Langdon Post of the Ameri-

suitable memorial for the men of
Cavalier county, who served with the
colora in our nations response to the
call from overseas, is as yet in for
NATIVE stage, although having the
patriotic endorsement of municipal
and county authorities and the back
ing of other Legion posts throughout
the county. In this connection it
will be of interest to note the plan
that is being outlined in similar
movement that has lately been start
ed at Devils Lake for Ramsey
county's soldiers memorial:
cat meeting of the various COM
mittees held at the commercial club
rooms in Devils Lake on Saturday
evening of last week. tentative plans
we're made for campaign TO raise
the funds for memorial building for
the service men of Ramsey county
who served the country daring the
war. The plans as outlined calls for
an effort to place the four mill levy
on all taxable property in the county
and the obtaining of subscriptions
upon the same basis as that on which
the Red Cross was supported during
the war 1t is believed that some
thing like $4O.O can be raised on
each of these moves. The building
| is to be in the nature of community
building, provided with rest rooms,
gymnas ium aud other conveniences
for the comfort of the general public

CONGRESSMAN BAER GOES
TO BIG ST. LOUIS EVENT

Congressman Baer has challenged
congress to show where it stands to-
ward the small vicious and useless
class of gamblers and Spectators in

teering gamblers or against them?
Its smothering of this bill in COM
mittee will be sufficient answer to
that question.
Because he has introduced into the
house bill which proposes to "ple-
vent gambling in the necessaries of
life and speculation in stocks and
bonds," and because this bill has

journals of the gamblers as we'll as

letters and kilograms of congratula-
tions. He has been invited to make
speeches on this measure, to write
magazine articles about it. and to
visit distant cities to explain how
the people can help to make congress-
act upon it.
Penalties for violation of the act
include fines up to $4,000 for first
offense, with a possible three year
imprisonment, for second offense,
the punishment may be $4,000 fine
and five years imprisonment.

where state democratic convention
will be held on the 10Th inst.
Locally in politics the convention
went no further than naming a re.
publican and democratic legislative
ticket for the June primaries, there
being compact that should the con.
vention's republican ticket win over
the non partisans on June 3Oth the
two lowest of the democratic nomi-
nees should drop out, otherwise the
support of the convention stands as
a unit back of the democratic legis-
lative ticket. The makeup of the
two tickets is composed of the fol-
lowing:
experimentation BalsdoD, Hugh
McDwoall and Andrew Flom.
! Democratic-Joseph McGauvran,
Louis Schneider and R. Robertson.

The Zionist Commission and the
French Consulate at Jerusalem have
issued statements confirming the as
sassination Of Commandante Alesandro
Levi Bianchini on August 10th by
Bedouins attacking Hedjaz Railway
train en- route between Damascus and
Deraat. The Bedouins. 1t is believed,
mistook Commandante Bianchini for
French officer. He was returning to
Jerusalem from Damascus whether he
had gone on mission for the Italian
Government.
The fact that his body has not been
found leaves the hope that Command
ante Bianchini may, after all, be alive,

suited in twenty deaths, including sew
