The engine of a passenger train
broke down midway between two sta

pected, the passengers were allowed
to get out of the cars, as an accident
seemed inevitable.

must be mad, but he waved an in

FRANCES E. WILLARD MUSEUM
Wis, Dedicated to Memory of
Great Temperance Leader.

Log cabins and marble palaces.
courthouses and round towers are now
and again turned into museums in the
memory of some historic person. More
rarely the building is a schoolhouse,
but such is the case with the new
Frances Il. Willard museum. The lit
tie country schoolhouse near James
vile, Wis, has recently been dedicated
by followers of the American temper
ance leader, among them former pu-
pills Of Miss Wizards in Wesleyan
seminary and at Northwestern univer-
sity, and national officers of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union. The
schoolhouse is far from imposing. Miss
Willard referred to 1t once as "a sort
of big ground-nut," but 1t symbolizes
the progress of a child who came into
a wilderness with her pioneer family,
and through her good work gained a
place for herself In the Hall of Fame
at Washington, the only woman SO
honored.

FRANCE WILL WANT ARMS
ENOUGH TO PROTECT NATION
AT ARMS MEETING.
ADEQUATE ARMAMENT
THREAT OF GERMAN INVASION
STILL SHADOWS PEOPLE AND
WILL GOVERN POLICY.
western Newspaper Union New, Service,

Washington.-France has come to
America to promise to go with other
nations to any limit of disarmament
that is consistent with her national
safety.
France expects that all the other
nations will recognize her peculiar po-
sition and the dread of her people of
a recurrence of things that have hap
pened in the past.
No Frenchman today believes that
there has been any change at all in
the sentiment of Germany toward the
republic except one perhaps of in
creased animosity. France was ac-
cused for years of wishing to be re-
venged for the loss of Alsace-Lor-
raine. She was charged with the re-
venge intention long after it had
ceased to exist except in the breasts
of a few Frenchmen. France today
feels that revenge may wait its day
across the Rhine.
Nothing has been said in connection
with proposals for action at the con
ference on the limitation of arma-
ments which can be construed as
meaning hat any nation is to be
asked to reduce its means of protec-
tion below the obvious protective line.
France will have less difficulty per
haps than any other country in prov
ing the necessities in its own case.
Officials of France accredited to
the United States awaited with some
little trepidation the coming of Mar
shall Foch to these shores. They prob
ably were a little too fearful in the
case. France above all things, wants
to retain the affection Of this coun.
try. 1t was thought hat in the re-
ception, or, so to speak, lack of it,
that was given to the marshal might
be found evidence one way or the 9th
er concerning the continuation of the
friendship of this country for its sis
ter republic.
There is nobody happier in the
city of Washington today han the
Frenchman who represent their coun.
try here in an official capacity. The
acclaim with which the great marshal
was received in New. York, in Wash
lngton and in Kansas City has been
Interpreted as meaning hat the
French republic still stands firm In
the affections of the American people,
The feeling seems to be among the
French that France. with Foch, has
been acclaimed by the American
people.
1t is well known that representatives
of France in this country fear that not
all the American people will under
stand the armament necessities OF the
French republic. They seem to be APP
prehensive lest Americans may hold
that France is living too much in the
past and is laying too much stress or
the deeds of another day. They think
also that the American people viii feel
that in pressing reasons for a contin-
uance of a large standing army the
French may have some Interior motive,
that milltarism is not dead in the re.
public, and that the desire is to con.
tinue TO maintain a great force when
no need for 1t exists.

RECEIVERSHIP
CONSOLIDATION
IS CONSIDERED
Economy and Efficiency
Would Result, it is Said,
For Closed Banks.

Bismarck, n. d. Dec, 6.--Consoli-
dation of receiverships Of many closed
banks in the state for the purpose of
gaining economy and greater effici-
ency in handling their affairs is under
consideration by the Guaranty Fund
Commission and the State Banking
board. it was stated officially today.
.Under the proposed plan about IS
receivers would be eliminated and ap"
proximately 20 retained. In some
cases. under the proposed plan. one
receiver would have as many as five
banks under his control, but in some
isolated cases a receiver would have
but one bank under his jurisdiction.
Legal phases of the matter now are
being investigated and when a report
is completed the Guaranty Fund Com
mission again will be summoned in
meeting to take up details Of putting
the proposed plan In operation. The
decision follows conferences of the
boards extending over several days.
Under the proposed plan i've closed
banks in Renville county would be
placed under one receiver, who would
employ collectors to aid in his work.
All closed banks tributary to New
England would be placed under one
receiver. The consolidation would be-
carried as Tar as deemed practlCaD Die.
Some May Reopen.
A number of the closed banks, it is
! expected, will reopen in the near fu-
ture/and in these cases the receiver
! ships would not be embraced In the
consolidated plan.
Another feature of the proposed
plan is that salaries of the receivers
would be fixed by the banking board
The statutory salary of a receiver is
$40 a day. In most cases at present,
it Is stated, receivers are getting this
salary, but not in (all cases. The ex-
. penses of ~receivership would be re-
duced considerably in saving upon sal
aries, 1t is stated.
