Hoover is now, but neither would
have BEEN likely to reach the White
House If he had not first occupied
the governors house at Albany. The
popularity of both was based in
large measure upon their habit of de-
cision and their eoldness and tenacity
in maintaining positions which they
had assumed. II may likewise be
that Hoover's stock will take swift
upward trend when the public
realizes that he has exhibited these

FRENCH POLICE GERMAN CITIES
Fifteen Thousand Poilus Occupy
Frankfort and Darmstadt

French troops entered Frankfort
and Darmstadt Tuesday, finding only
small German force in Frankfort
left there to afford police protection
for the people. The occupation of the
city was mere military march and
was not attended By any fighting
The French also will occupy Ham,
burg, Hanau and Dieburg, it was
stated.
General Degoutte has issued proc
lamation declaring his troops are not
conquerors and that shere will be no
fighting, providing absolute order is
maintained.
A state of siege has been proclaim
ed in Frankfort, Darmstadt, Offer
bach, Hoechst, Koenigstein. Dieburg,
Frassgerau, Langenschalbach and
Wiesbaden, it was set forth.
The German government garrison
of Darmstadt had left at midnight to
avoid contact with the French and
was six miles east of the city.
Arrival Of French troops at Frank
fort found the streets almost deserted.
The people watched the passing
French uniforms with indifference.
The only German troops encounter
ed in Frankfort by the French were
Sicherheitswehr, or volunteers, who
surrendered. They probably will be
simply disarmed and released.
The French occupying force is esti-
mated to number from $4,000 "a
$4,000 men. It is composed largely
of cavalry with detachments Of in
fantry for occupation of the various
centers, and artillery merely as pre-
cautionary measure.
General Degoutte, commander Of
the army Of occupation, has issued a
proclamation to cities and towns with.
in the area to be occupied. declaring
French troops have crossed the Rhine
to compel the Berlin government to
respect its agreement with the Allies
and asserting there is no hostile in

Sheyenne Farm Scene of Tragedy
Ray Soen, who shot himself in the
head after attempting to kill Miss
Harriet Carlson, 22 years old, resid-
ing near Sheyenne, N. d., is not ex-
pected to survive.
Miss Carlson, who was shot in one
arm when she grappled with Soen
when he pulled a revolver, was only
slightly injured.
The shooting took place Sunday
evening at the home Of the girls par
cnts. Soen had called during the even
ing, and about 9 o'clock departed af
ter bidding the girls parents good
bye most pleasantly. He asked the
girl to accompany him as far as the
gate, only few yards from the resi-
dence.
Miss Carlson says that as they
reached the gate, Soen pulled re-
volver. She grappled with him,
catching her hand in leather wrist
let he wore and while struggling with
Soen, the revolver was discharged, the
bullet entering her right arm.
Miss Carlson screamed and ran to-
ward the house, and had gone only
q few PAGES when second shot was
fired. She turned in time to see Socn

THE INTER.CHURCH MOVEMENT
Meetings to Be Held Tonight and
Ffday at NJ. e. Church

Do YOU know why nine out of every
ten business ventures fail? The an
swer isS the same in practically all
cases: They lacked the facts:
B4sMkss cannot prosper without
fattS. 1.-THE church cannot prosper
without facts. The church today has
the facts-facts that affect every
man, woman and child: facts that
show that neither business nor the
nation itself is safe if We continue
to shut our eyes to conditions once
considered remote but now crowding
up to our very doors.
These facts have been obtained by
the leading movement Of the age,
known as the Inter- Church World
Movement. The results of this scien-
tific survey reveal for the first time
the whole task Of the whole church.
Come to the meetings beginning
Thursday evening, April S, and con-
tinuing Friday, and hear what some
Of the outstanding speakers of tine
state have to say on this subject.
Here is chance to get information
first hand. The church should be
packed from rae opening to the clos
ing session. This will be the kind of
meeting that people go to the large
cities to attend Now when such an
opportunity comes to our little city it
should be embraced by all thinking
people. Among the speakers assigned
to Oakes will be E. Lee Howard,
president of Fargo college.
Who are invited? All church
members and friendly citizens. Who
will be there? You should be. The
message will be straight to you.
No red tape! No collections. BE
there every session, and it would be
a good plan to bring a note hook and
pencil.
