To the Grand Forks Herald:
Gentlemen: In reading in your
extra edition of The Herald dated
Friday, April 3, T was greatly touched
by the sudden death Of F. J.. STAINS
perry In III fire at the Frederick no
tei. In reading your article l find
that Mr.. Stansberry took the .heets
from the bed and made an ATTEMPT
TO save his life. and in that attempt
lost, it. Since hat time l have been
IN touch With several business men
and others and find they all have the
same feeling as myself about the
matter. If there had been ropes in
hat o that man today would
have been alive. After a big days
work no doubt he was all in, and If
wnen he went in that room he could
nave seen . rope. on the floor it
would have suggested to his mind
that IN case Of fire there is a way of
escape. and he would never think Of
using the bed clothes had there been
a rope in the room. I have been IN
many hotels where they had both the
nre escape and, the rope, in ahe oom
Therefore I advocate the placing Of
ropes in all hotels. We are looking
aiter the safety of the public and
WY should We let this thing be u,-
~oHe wHen IL means the losing Of
human lives? To think that it might
nav been prevented simply by hav-
ing q rope in the room, makes me
reel tnat there is a life lost of
neglect, a home ruined. and a father
and husband who in the attempt to
save his life for his family, lost it. i
ask in the name Of human lives and
TOT the sake of others, Cant some-
thing be done?" -"
) Yours sincerely,

ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.

There's always something dong
south Of the Rio Grande:"
The latest development is the N
nouncement that the state OF Sonora
has seeded from the Mexican union.
We are not sufficiently acquainted
with the Mexican constitution to say
whether or not that is legal justi-
fication for such an act, but in any
case it is a pretty safe bet thai Pres
ident Carranza will not have any
time for self-determination carried
to that extent.
AS long as it seems certain that
the Mexicans must have some grounds
for a fight at all times probably the
question of secession is as good as
any other. We shall probably have
a few Americans killed, a great deal
of valuable property destroyed, a few
notes dispatched by, President Will
son to somebody or1jother in Mexico,
a few howls from the SDcialistic press
that Big Biz is trying to force the
United States into war with Mexico.
and then things will settle down into
the usual conditions Of ordinary an
archy until the next organized out
break.
That the United States should ac-
tually take any active steps to give
adequate protection to the lives or
property of American citizens south
of the Rio Grande is inconceivable.
E~x-Secretary Lansing showed sym
toms Of doing something along that
line once, and the result was a ''cor-
dial and sincere" invitation to quit.
So watchful waiting will probably
continue to be the order of the day.

BRITISH ANTILLES SAL
ABLE?

For a proposal that no group of
Englishmen seems very explicitly to
sponsor. the suggested sale Of the
British West Indies to the, United
States raises no little dust Of dis
cussion. Sir Sydney Olivier has
come out in a public letter on
the subject. He opposes the sale, to
be sure, but. it needed considerable
pressure on the favorable sidef to call
forth such opposition.
Sir Sydney has a standing in Lon
0 rs a veteran of seventeen years
service in the West Indies, in various
administrative capacities. Six of
them he spent as governor Of ia
maica. AS a believer in theoretical
Socialism, an early member of the
Fabian society, he can hardly be sus-
pected of an uItra-British or ultra
imper!alistic leaning. None the less
he looks forward, as his letter shows,
TO the formation Of the British West
Indies into some sort of federated
dominion. on the model of Canada.
South Africa or Australia. Apart
from such hopes, which may seem
rather far-reachins, he regards the
retention Of the British Antilles as an
obligation laid on England by the
stands loyalty during the war.
Nearly a thousand from these de-
Tendencies gave their lives, he points
out, n service under the. flags Of
England. =
Much depends, or should depend.
on other considerations which lie
pretty well underneath the surface.
q large colored population, on several
ct the British islands, may quite DOS
sibly stand, with the loyalty that
forms one of the best gifts OF its
race, faithful to its old allegiance.
The question whether the United
States would care to purchase needs
p much thought as that whether
England would care to sell. rhe
mere fact that England owes this
country some billions Of dollars and
@ gladly find possessions auit-
able to give in payment hardly euf-
fees in itself to justify this particu-
lar sale.-New York Sun.

A sure indication that the world i.
recovering from the shock Of the wal
is seen in the trade figures for the
first two months Of the present year.
A considerable decrease in European
exports to the United States was pre-
dicted for 1920, as it was supposed
that the war worn countries had but
little to sell US. 1t is then q matter
for cong1atul2tion that, 50 far from
this prediction being realized, they
have experienced a large advance
over those OF a year ago.
During February this country inn
ported from Europe goods valued at
$107,oo0,ooo as against $3o.oo0,o 900
during February, 1919. Eifty-two
millions of this amount, or nearly
half, comes from Great Britain, rep
resenting a gain Of 800 per cent.
France has increased her sales to this
country from $5.ooo,O00 in February,
1919, to $13,ooo,ooo in February,
1920; Italy from $4,000, 900 to $4,000
600; the Netherlands from 50, 0oo, 900
to $4,000, 900.
1t does not matter that these i'm
ports consist largely of articles of lux
ury-diamonds, silks, laces, olive oil
they are none the Jess an unmistak-
able indication that Europe is on the
road to recovery. The period Of
transition from war to peace, the
period marked by the disbandias of
armies, the rehabilitation of war in
>dutries, the rebuilding of roads,
canals and bridges, the settling of
labor problems, has in part been
passed, and the period of production
il nova t hand. Europe ia getting
down to hard work; with every one
working the return of normal condi-
tlons cannot long be delayed.
The Polish Russian war, the abor-
tive German revolution and the
troubles in the Ruhr are but mutter-
ings of thunder after the storm has
spent its force and passed on-at
least, we may we'll hope so. Already
the sun begins to show itself between
the breaking clouds. A few years
more and it's rays will pour down up
on III earth with all the brightness,
all the warmth Of ante bellum daw

large numbers to the Ruhr region.
The Red uprising was. in the French
view, q mere excuse for armed oc-
cupation of the neutral zone. Once
that had been put down. other ex-
icuses would have been found for
keeping the German soldiers there on
the very borders OF France and in
control Of the coal mines whose pro-
duct is pledged in part to France.
Finding excuses lis n OF the best
things Germany does.
Sol France has acted with decision
and promptness. She holds the
Rhine cities as hostages for German
observance OF. the Treaty. She has
given Germany a much needed les
son. She will withdraw when the
Ruhr is clear of German troops and
obedience to the. Treaty has been re-
sumed.
But Germany knows now that there
is complete understanding and stern
determination in Paris. Millerand
has France behind him. and the or
ders that Foch gets will be carried
out to the letter. There ID no longer
any hope in Berlin If being able to
play the quarreling Allies against
each other andsthus to escape pay
ment OF war obligations.
The thing. is done, Nand Great Brit
ain will permit and perhaps eventual
1y approve it. BelsiuM has already
taken her stand at the side OF
France. Italy will fall In line.
Chances are the lineup Of the Entente
will be all the stronger for this ex-
hibition Of Frances determination to
safeguard her own existence. whether
any one else helps her or not.--Min-
