Colorado has the resources. he con-
tinued. and could be made to win just
as well as California. He urged to
give our city and county government
encouragement when they did some
thing worth commencing. for he said
he believed 1t was easier to catch flies
with molasses than with vinegar. Our
school system, he said is one of
Colorado's large assets. He urged
everyone to get behind some one of
our churches, for no better citizenship
could be attained than thru Christian
affiliations. He urged our citizens to
patronize local merchants in prefer
ence to merchants in other states.
Speaking relative to his company.
Mr.. Keeping said. John D. was not a
stockholder in the Continental; that
they operated in six states; that he
was one of six division heads; told of
of the pension system for their en-
ployees; that his company was the
only company in Colorado distributing

In closing he paid high tribute to
the local newspapers. He said when
the newspapers print lite ms of news
in which the particular individual is
interested tell the papers of the ap-
probation. He said the newspapers
should be literally supported for they
were the ones who bear the burden of
ever community.

WHITE SLAVE
PLOT FOUND
Germany Sent. More Than SOC
Girls to u. S. Is Charge

Brussels, Belgium, Nov. LA dis
covery Of vast white slave enter
prise through which more than 500
girls are reported to have been ship-
ped to the United States has led to
the increased vigilance Of the Amer
lean immigration authorities whose
Representatives in Antwerp, the Bel
gian police say, have definite proof
- the affair. The principal in the
rot, named Brown, was president Of
:. girls protection society in Berlin
yho sent the girls via Antwerp and
Rotterdam to the United States
where they fell into the hands of
his confederates.
When the trahic wss discovered as
the result OF numerous complaints
Brown fled from Germany. The Bel
gian authorities regard al curious
that they have received no reeuest
for Browns arrest from the, German
authorities. They suggest that this
is perhaps due to the fact that dur
ing the war Brown was reported to
have been one sof the most active
members Of the German espionage
system during The war and the Ger
msns are afraid that II he were ar.
Irssted in BsaE11ms iis would make

Declares That German Indus.
trialists Are Forcing Ma
ti0n Into Bankruptcy

Nevers, France, Nov. Premier
Poincare, speaking today at the in
auguration of soldiers memorial
here, stated that Germany has been
forced into systematically organic
ed bankruptcy and that certain
classes of the population have been
reduced to misery for the sole bene-
fit of wealthy industrial and com.
mercial leaders.
For this reason he deems it neces-
sary, he said, to hold Germany's
pledges until France is paid in full
and pointed out the progress made
in the Ruhr during the French occu-
patton toward resumption of ccon-
omic activity.
In conclusion he defined the scope
of the inquiry of experts appointed
by the reparations commission by
stating that it must only deal with
Gcrmany's present capacity to pay.
Let an examination be made to
discover what Germany can pay this
moment or during short space Of
time," M. Poincare said. "That is
we'll. That is the very role of the
reparation commission determine
by experts it can appoint; that the
reparation Commission determine
new arrangement Of payments is the
mission it received from the treaty:
that is. search for means Of raising
German finances in purely mone-
tary fashion is its right but let it
not attempt either to change dAci-
sions it has already taken regard
ing the total~amount of our credits
nor engage in future attempts inde-
finitely.
"What injustice, what risk, if in
short time Germany should be
free from part Of its debt and If in
some years she should present her
self before Us. resurrected, enriched,
to humiliate us by renewal Of hs1
power and crush here by her supre-
macy. We will not be taken in such
snare"
Premier Poincare said frances
conduct was Of the simplest and
frankest nature possible without any
hidden motive.

, Berlin, Nov. 1.--Chancellor Strese-
mann was prevented by illness from
presiding at the cabinet session this
morning when the socialist party ul-
timatum was to be considered.
1t was considered probable that
the governments reply to the par

The socialist demands were for
mulated at a caucus yesterday which
adopted a resolution declaring the
party could remain in the coalition
government only on these condi-
tions:
Abolition of the military. state Of

LOSING GROUND
Coblehz, Nov. 1.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-Unless there is some in
dication soon that efforts to estab-
lish an Independent Rhineland state
have the general support of the po-
pulation the present separatist may
dissolve Of itself within a few weeks,
it was said today in official circles
which are in touch with all develop
ments.
Several proposals for compromise
have already been advanced. it is
understood. One of these provides
for an autonomous estate but Joseph
Mptthes, premier of the provisional
government of the Rhineland repub-
lie, asserts he will not consider any
such proposition.
There are many representative Cit
izens who favor autonomy but they
will have nothing to do with the pres
ent movement on the ground that
leaders of the movement are not re-
preventative officials or business
men and lack confidence of the peo-
pie.
At the French headquarters it was
said to be quite apparent that the
movement was not backed by repre-
sentative leaders or the people gen
orally.

DECORATIONS
ARE SOUGHT
Plan Launched to Provide
Decorations of Which
Entire City May be
Proud
PLAN is ECONOMICAL

Webb See Gain For City
and Saving for Mer-
chants in Plan
PLAN is ECONOMICAL

A plan whereby Bismarck viii
have permanent set of street de
corations for the many convention:
coming to the city is being under
taken by a number Of merchants Of
the city, who believe that under the
plan evolved the city will not only
be decorated as it should be decorat
ed but in the long run the merchants
will be saved money.
The plan is to buy set of SO ol
more, pennant-strings, in gay colors
to be stretched over the streets ir
canopy fashion. They will be made
the property of the Association Of
Commerce. They can be put uI
and taken down with little expense
when convention is held, and viii
last for several years. Solicitation Of
funds is being undertaken by G. "A
Hassell and Robert Webb with the
approval of many merchants whs
have discussed the proposal. Fine
response is being made thus far.
Mr. Hassell pointed out that last
year solicitation of funds was made
three or four times for street de.
corations, all the way from $3.50 tc
$500 being paid out each time. The
decorations lasted for one conven
tion only, and at the end Of the year
there was nothing to show for the
expense. With $1,000 to $1,400 a sci
of street decorations can be purchas-
ed, little reserve fund kept fol-
requirements and for cost of putting
them up and taking them down, and
the merchants will be relieved OF
the necessity of making any special
expense or effort for decorations fol
many years, Mr.. Hassell pointed out
Thus, he said, it will be real. econ.
omy to invest in the complete set
now.
The project was set under way af-
ter there was discussion of plans
for decorating the city for the North
Dakota Education Association con-
vention here November Fl. 1t will
be. one of the largest conventions
ever entertained in Bismarck. Usual.
ly the convention has gone to Fargo
or Grand Forks because they are
larger cities. A special effort il
being made by several committees to
show the teachers that Bismarck is
big enough to entertain the largest
conventions. The Rotary district
convention will be here next spring,
bringing, live wires from many cit
les, and Bismarck must at that time
be gaily decorated If she would
maintain her reputation as conven-
tion city. Probably a score Of con-
ventions, large and small, will come
here next year.
The time for raising tbA necessary
funds and getting the permanent
decorations is; short. Mr.. Webb and
Mrs Hassell ask that any merchants
who believe in the idea and who, may
not be reached in the short time they
are able to spare for the solicitation,
to mail checks to Mr.. Webb.

AREGIVEN TO
P0ST0FFICE
-,edistricting of City Is Made
Possible Through Addition
OF Four Men on Staff
INCREASES EFFICIENCY
Plea Issue to Business Houses
to Mail Early to Aid
Employees

Marked improvement in the postal
service is being inaugurated in Bis
marck through readjustments made
possible by the allowance Of four ex-
ira employees for the Bismarck post
office, Postmaster II. 7. Murphy an
nounced today.
A complete rearrangement OF the
free delivery service in the resi-
dence district is being made, and the
delivery is extended east to Four
teenth street when street signs and
cross walks are put in, it was stated.
The city will be divided into six dis
tricts, making shorter routes for the
carriers and making possible two de-
liveries Of mail to the residence dis
trict every day, where formerly car
riers were unable to make more than
one delivery in many parts of the
city.
There also will be in the future
one full parcel post delivery every
day in the business district and one
in the residence district, where form
-erly the delivery was irregular. and
sometimes the volume of parcels be-
came so great that delivery was de-
layed three or four days. The addi-
tion of motor truck to replace the
horse-drawn vehicle has speeded up
the parcel post delivery service
greatly, Postmaster Murphy said
Two additional clerks and two ad-
nj ho

Postmaster Murphy sometime age
pointing out that there had been no
readjustment in the Bismarck office
3or five years, and in that time the
volume of business has increased re-
.markably The four new employees
are Robert j. Dohn, ]. A. McConkey
Jr., Arthur E. Brand and William A.
Mcdonald, the latter substitute on
the eligible list.
There may be some errors creep in
the city deliveries for the next week
or ten days because it has been ne
cessary to redistrict the city and all
of the carriers have' considerable
new territory, the postmaster said
He asked the publish to bear with
the office during the short period
of time which will be required fol-
all employees to become familiar with
the change. Service in the future
he hopes, will be second to no 9TH
er city.
Mail Early Plea
A special campaign is being made
personally by Postmaster Murphy to
get business houses to mail letters
during the afternoon. So much mail
is sent to the postoffice about G
o'clock in the evening that it is
sometimes, impossible to get it out
on the evening train to the east, he
said. Collections also were inaugur-
ated at the hotels at $3.50 p. m. be-
cause SO much mail was being deliv-
cred there late in the evening that
the railway mail department threat
ened to refuse'to handle it on North
ern Pacific No. apd said that Of
ten it was impossible to distribute
it all on the train for delivery. Post
master Murphy urges that letters be
mailed during the afternoon, if in
tended for No. 4, and that business
houses having great volume Of mail
sent it to the postoffice two or
three times during the day.
There will now be % employees in
the local postoffice.
