this city with short visit Tuesday
afternoon, arriving in the city over
the Great Northern on No. 2. He was
met at the station by large number
of our citizens and was escorted to
the east end of the depot where he
mounted truck in the shade and for
twenty minutes addressed the crowd
in q very eloquent manner. The dis
tinguished visitor was introduced by
John E. Greene.
'While / feel that this is not the
proper time and place for political
speech" remarked the Vice President,
"under appropriate circumstances
should be very glad to give reasons
why l think the Democratic party
should be continued in power in Am
erica. But understand from the tel
egram received that this brief stop is
simply for greetings between. US as
citizens may truthfully say that !
have always followed the proprieties." "
The visitor rather intimated that
while he could make q political speech
if occasion required, he rather enjoyed
talking upon the more broad matters
of citizenship. He here naively re-
marked: "Perhaps it would not hurt
if I did make political speech. For
/ am nearly out of office. Thank God
for that. I will soon be able to walk
down the street without having to
guess whether looks directed at me
! proceed from admiration or alarm"
He here interpolated this sparkling
bit of philosophy: II would rather be
. statesman out of office, than poll
tician in office"
H. mon ia v0f
able to be successful politician; but
YOU may all be statesmen. This Re-
public does not rest upon the shoulders
shoulders of the President, upon gov
ernmental departments, upon con-
gress, upon the governors OF states,
upon the courts or general state as.
semblies. This Republic must rest
upon the judgment and conscience OF
every individual, every man and wo-
man who stands beneath our flag.
"You can't make people good by
law, it can't be DONE" he continued.
"The only way in which you can i'm
prove this country is to get right with
your fellowmen, get right with your
country and right with your God: This
is the right kind of American citizen:
he felerreO very UTLeuy w SOtIuA
tions in North Dakota, at the same
time remarking: II speak with no i'll
will toward anyone on EARTH" Said
he: "Ideas of North Dakota are. drift
ing out into the rest of the Republic.
Those ideas which are thus drifting
should not be. You are getting a class
consciousness, If not a class hatred.
That is dangerous thing. There is
no room for anyone under the Ameri-
can flag except an American citizen. :
Hearty applause greeted thi sstate-
ment.) :,
II have always been opposed to
special privilege and special classes all
my life," remarked Mr.. Marshall:
"North Dakota citizens must demand
justice as citizens and not as members
of any class"
"There was time when the law
yer, doctor and minister were sup.
posed to comprise the learned class:
That day has gone by. He is no diff
ferent from the farmer, merchant OF
laborer in every day life. No matter
how lowly your occupation, if you are
living your life because you have IN
terest in it, because you are trying to
contribute to the common welfare,
then Won are following q profession.

w. w. DRIVING TO
WIN SERVICE MEN,
SAYS LEGIONAIPE

Washington, March 24.-Failure
of the government to aid former SER
vice men has resulted in the I. w. W..
making a drive to get such men into
that organization, the house ways and
means committee was told by ]. E.
Holden, state adjutant of the Ameri-
can Legion in Utah.
Organized propaganda by the J..
w. w. to discredit government aid
and undermine the American Le-
gion is spreading throughout the
country he said, and many "unintelli-
gent" former service men are being
gathered into the organization as the
result of propaganda stating that the
government has done nothing for
former soldiers.
"It is hard to come back" Mr..
Holden said, "and see the I. W. W..
undermining the principles and ideals
f former service men and plotting
the overthrow of the government.
J. G. Strugham, a member of the
legion's executive committee, told the
committee there was much discon-
tent among both former service men
and women and that immediate re-
lief was necessary.

left this port for Hamburg several
weeks ago laden to capacity, returned
yesterday with little else in her hold
than 5000 German canaries. THESE

one lone blackbird, were the only Of
erings the once mighty nation had to
offer the Manchuria as return cargo.
With the scarcity of food, the pas
sengers said the birds soon would eat
more than they were worth, and their
shipment to this country and sale at
100 marks each would be a windfall
to the shippers.

POVERTY NO BARRIER
TO COLLEGE COURSE
INVESTIGATION SHOWS

Boston, Feb. 20.-A student in an
university can be success
full in study, sports and social life
even when compelled to support him
elf throughout his college career,
according to the findings of an in
vestigators report, is not an insuper-
BILE barrier to students who have mi
tiative and courage.
The inquiry showed that some self
supporting students earned $4,000 or
more in their four years at the uni
'ersity, and that it was not unusual
or a student to earn $4,000, stand
we'll in his classes and be a leader in
tudent activities.
One man who earned the latter sum
belonged to four college clubs, rowed
on the varsity crew and was among
the best known men at college. An
other who earned a similar amount,
was an officer of his class, was elected
to three clubs, sang in the glee club
and was first marshal of Phi Beta
Kappa. A student who earned his
way from start to finish and was
aptain of the university team told
the inquirers that the fact that he
was self-supporting did not, so far,
he knew, exclude him from any of
he club life at college. In fact, every
nan interviewed, except two, said
he self-supporting student was at no
disadvantage nor under any social
tigma. On the contrary, many stated
that college men were likely to ad-
mire man more because he was
earning his way.
Some of the occupations which en-
abled Harvard men to pay their way
were those of waiter, tutor, reporter,
artists model, bookkeeper, farm Ia
borer, day laborer, organist, choir
niger, clerk, musician in orchestra,
editorial writer, librarian, social serv-
i:c worker, ticket taker, athletic
coach, physical director, tire builder
and steward. The easiest way for a
:" supporting student to earn his
expenses was tutoring or acting a. =
tutor-companion.

GIBSON BUYS
LIFE REALIZING
HIS AMBITION

New York, March 25.-Charles
Dana Gibson, the artist, has purchas-
ed the controlling interest in Life,
the humorous weekly publications, it
became known yesterday. He will
take active charge of the publication
on April 1.
G. B. Richardson and George
Utassy, it was announced will be as
sociated with Mr.. Gibson in the pub
lication of the magazine. "Life" was
established in 1885.
The deal, in which Mr.. Gibson
bought from the widow Of John A.
Mitchell, former editor of Life, the
majority of stock in the publication
was closed last Tuesday. 1t represents
business transaction containing as
much of romance and human interest
as of cold facts and figures.
1t was to "Life" that Mr.. Gibson,
then an eighteen-year-old struggling
pen-and-ink artist, sold the first
drawing which he considered worth
submitting for publication. For it he
received 81. And he was supremely
happy over his achievement. 1t was
earned yesterday that on the day of
the appearance in "Life" of his 81
work he decided great things were in
store for him, and also on that day
he determined that some day he
would own just such a publication
from the earnings of his pen.
Made Famous by "Gibson Girr'
The 81 drawing was entitled "The
Moon and l." 1t was inspired by a
part of the action in "The Mikado,"
which Mr.. Gibson had seen and ad-
mired. His drawing, done in ink-line
style much the same as his work to-
day, depicted a dog standing baying
iat the moon, and created wide inter-
est both for it's excellent execution
and for its humorous appeal.
| Inspired by the sale of his picture
Mr.. Gibson went home to Flushing
and spent almost the entire night at
his sketch board, finishing twelve pic
lures before going to bed. The next
iday the editor of "Life" refused all
twelve.

NAVAL SQUABBLE
AGAIN TAKEN Up
The Removal of Admiral Fletcher is
Being Investigated-Sims Makes
Request-Counsel for Admiral
Would Greatly Enlarge Scape
Of Inquiry

Washington, March 25.-Investiga-
tion of the reasons for the removal of
Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher
from command of the American naval
base at Brest developed another dis
pute today between Secretary Daniels
nd Rear Admiral Sims before the
laval court of inquiry.
Counsel for Admiral Sims, who re-
moved Admiral Fletcher, insisted that
he court consider a request by the
ormer that the secretary enlarge the
cope of the inquiry to cover all cir
umstances surrounding the handling
of American vessels in French waters
American vessels in French waters.
Secretary Daniels in letter refused
modify his instructions to the
ourt on the ground that they COW
red sweeping investigation as origi-
tally drawn.
Little testimony was introduced at
he first session, most of it being
documentary. In a letter to Secre-
ary Daniels, Admiral Sims denied
hat he removed Admiral Fletcher be-
cause of the loss of the transport An
titles, declaring that he had reached
that decision some time before, when
he had learned that on two occa-
sions transports were permitted to
start back without adequate convoy.
The sinking of the Antilles, Admiral
Sims wrote, led him to decide, how
yer, that Admiral Fletcher should
lave no European command.
Testifying in his behalf, Admiral
fletcher, who requested that tne
ourt be convened, charged that at no
time did Admiral Sims in his orders
ay down specific rules as to con-
voys and the minimum protection
that should be accorded off the
French coast. The first direction as
to this he said, was given voluntarily
and in very general way by Lieu
tenant Commander Daniels, Admiral
Sine said when he visited Brest in
August, 1915. Despite the difficulty
of adequately protecting troops and
supply transports with the small
force of destroyers and yachts at his
disposal, the admiral said this force
.ad been used to the best possible
dvantage.

LAUNCHED
BY BOLSHEVISTS ON
LONG POLISH FRONT

Wa.saw, March 25.-Bolshevik at
tacks nave been launched against the
Polish line at scattered points along
a front of approximately 400 miles and
the long-planned spring attack by the
Russian Soviet armies apparently has
been commenced.
While the Bolsheviki have made
mall advances at some places de
pite the desperate resistance of the
Poles, the latter have been holding
the enemy in check in most sections
say official statements. The reds have
been compelled to retreat from sew
eral newly acquired positions along
the front, but fighting still continues,
he Soviet troops using heavy artillery
tanks, armored cars and other ap-
paratus captured from General
Denikine on the south Russian front.
Most severe fighting took place on
Tuesday on the Polish Podolian
front enar the Galician frontier, the
Bolsheviki concentrating their at
tacks on this sector in an effort to
capture Rovno, an important railroad
center, and Kamentez-Po Podolsk, a city
highly priced because of his strategic
importance. Further north in the
region of Rzecycza and Kalenkowitz,
northeast of Bozir, the enemy took
several small villages which were re-
covered by the Poles after a days
fighting.
Northeast and east of Kamenetz-
Podolsk, near the Dneister river, the
Bolsheviki have been using their
heaviest guns and apparently have
made slight gains, having captured
the village of Mohilev (not the i'm
portant city of the same name) sew
eral days ago.
