LAST TO INVADE ENGLAND
Writer Says John Paul Jones Was
First and Only American to
Forcibly Enter Britain.

A decidedly interesting point Is
raised by Well-knOwn Chester
gentleman Who, In letter, says Of
John Paul Jones:
HE was the first and the only
American officer. in army or navy.
TO invade Great Britain. and he
was the last invader Of that coun-
try in the world"
Jones carried the torch to Eng
land as British general carried
it 10 the White House at Washing
ton generation later.
But do not airplanes count as
invaders? Many German planes
lowered over England and hun
dreds were killed by bombs
dropped from such air craft.
Buy a piece of real estate and
the title reaches up to the sky.
! imagine England would assume
that anybody who invaded her air
space was Invading England, which
would take from our greatest naval
hero the distinction of being the
last invader.
Very likely 1t was meant that
Jones was the last man-o'-wars.
man to reach England, and vel

Ignite RATE
Pour Into Headquarters From
All Parts of State, Ac-
cording to Word Here
ASK WITHDR A w A l.
Want Railroads to Recall
Their Advanced Rate on

Petitions bearing more than 1900
signatures Of coal consumers IN Min

draw the new tariff, have been Tor.

ident Of the Great Northern Ry., st.
Paul; J g. Woodworth, vice presi-
dent of he Northern Pacific Ry. , St.
Paul, and t. r. Newman, general
traffic manager If the 500 line, Min
ncapois, it was learned today. They
went from various parts Of the state.
The petitions have been circulated
by coal dealers, civil clubs and in
dividuals in the three states who are
interested in retaining present llg-
mite freight rates Additional petit
tions are in circulation and it is ex-
pected that protests will be made to
the railroads by some $4,000 csal
consumers through this method. The
plea of the petitioners follows:
ave, the undersigned, residing in
territory served by your road and de-
pending for economic fuel upon the
Ignite industry of North Dakota, do
hereby protest to your railroad
against the proposed increase in
freight rates on Ignite, on the fol-
lowing grounds:
l.. Because the present rates on
Ignite do not discriminate against
other competitive Goals.
. Because the increased rates
would destroy the Ignite industry Of
North Dakota
g. Because the Northwest is At
all times partially dependent upon
Ignite for its fuel supply.
A. Because in times of coal
strikes or railway strikes the North
west is entirely dependent upon this
local coal field.
8. Because if the Ignite industry
is destroyed, the people of the North
west will be at the mercy of eastern
coal interests who will encounter no
element Of competition here.
s. Because the living to farmers
and to those who depend upon these
farming districts for patronage and
trade, is already far higher than can
ready be sustained.
T. Because the increase in freight
rates would greatly increase the fuel
expenses to every domestic consum-
or and would also reflect in the ex-
pense Of electricity and manifold
other purchases.
8. Because North Dakota is not
now prepared to sustain the financial
loss of her largest industry, one that
is encouraging other industrial de-
velopment. and overcoming entire de-
tendency on agriculture.
g. Because the proposed tariff Is
obviously discriminatory against our
best interests, being a measure to
aid eastern coal mines and eastern
railroads.
We, the undersigned, respectfully
urge you to reconsider your action
and Withdraw this proposed tariff.
