E-- 1 i-- 11 V- i- WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1919 A SOFF PIONEER Charlotte, Ruler Less Than a Year, Women JPranchise Before Asked Luxemburg, Sept. the sociated Grand Duchess Qharlotte, ruler of Luxemburg less than a year, signed a law granting suffrage to women before they had asked for it, she told the Associated Press correspondent, "it seemed the time to dp it." "So far as know," the1 grand duchess said, "the women never made any special demand for the vote. There is a movement throughout the world for such things and it seemed the time to do it. The women have come up step by step until I think they are ready for it." The matter of submitting to the people a choice of retaining the grand under her or "s'omeone else, or of establishing a republic, she ted with a smile, caused her a little anxiety though she signed the law for a plebiscite also. "I felt the people would vote for me," she added.

vote was about 4 to 1 to retain the gfand duchy and the Grand ess Charlotte as ruler. The grand duchess received the respondent in the. morning, an hour after the government began counting the ballots decided in her favor, but before.the'first of the erendum reached her. The ruler of Luxemburg is of the House of. Nassau, one of the richest reigning families in Europe, but the simplicity of her manner has been marked by many of those who know her.

The former Princess Charlotte government upon the abdication of her sister, the former Grand Duchess Marie-Adelaide, of whom the peace conference at Paris disapproved. The present grand duchess is ty-four years old. She is of medium and girlish with a most complimentary eagerness to listen, Her rather small is broad across the forehead and tapers very slightly to a. fine small chim The triangular efiect is emphasized by the fashion of dressing her chestnut hair rather flat on her head, and puffed out at the sides. Her face, seems tonight ip and her eyes to become perceptibly more brilliant, in a flash, as something terests her.

The chateau of the grand duchess is at Colmar, nearly from the city, but much of her time is'spent in the palace at where the correspondent was received. She chose to speak English during thr, audience and contrary to custom, couraged questions. "Politics" was taboo by direction of the minister of state. Concerning decision of her jects between a p-and duchy and a public, she. said: "I hope, the vote will be favorable.

a ruler is very interesting bat' without tte responsibility, of course, life would be very much freer and quieter. I sure the people vifted for me because it is the surest way to preserve the independence of the country. But it js not for myself that I hope, for I don't like politics. In politics there is so much that is is all false, false. You read one thing, and it is not true then an3 not manner know what to Wlieve." This was said with a little burst of enthusiasm that made the gtfand ess seem like one of- millions of other girls who did not have to sign big, windy documents for careful ministers of state.

It empliasized the air of simplicity the grand duchess had when, receiving the correspondent, she stepped forward halfway to, meet the American young man, saym'g, "I am glad to see you," and shaking, hands in that seemed to eliminate the of addressing beras "Your Highness."

CAPITOL GROUNDS PLATTED FOR NEW STATE STRUCTURES The platting of thACapitol grounds as a preliminary to The beginning of work in the spring on the new state memorial lmildifng has been completed, and two landscape architects are now engaged in preparing plans from these maps. The new plat provides a tion for the future Capitol, ly to the west of the present building, as well as a location for the liew orial building, which is also to be cated west of the present Capitol.

The state house grounds of 160 acres have been enlarged by the repurchase of a number of lots which were sold in the early clays, and an attractive general heme has been worked out. BELGIANS ARE BACK AT WORK Brussels, Oct. 4, The Associated Belgium is returning to work and (lie country is recovering rapidly from the war. In Brussels factories which were damaged during the German are being titled with machinery, and some of them already are turning out their accustomed products to witlr in a few percent of the pre-war city. Production of sugar exepeeds the war tonnage.

Glass factories are opening. In the iron and steel mills many plants have resumed operations, particularly in the Liege district where some of the mills were completely molished and others so badly damaged that entire blast furnaces had fo be rebuilt. Within a year, it is believed, vlie most important of those plants will be operating to capacity. The cotton tradA of Ghent also has resumed, and steamers loaded with American cotton are arriving almost, rliily. During the German occupation £.11 copper fittings were removed from the machines in the spinning ies, hnd some of these have not yet been replaced.

The linen industry also has taken on new additional workers are being every week. The port trade linen is growing just as? rapidly as in the factories can turn out the product. It is in the country districts, ever, where one sees the Belgian at bis best. In the vast garden which stretches from. Brussels to the sea scarcely a square foot of ground is left uncultivated, so anxious are the people to produce Ufeir own food, and they are working from morn until late at night to attain that end.

Apparently there is no scarcity of food in Belgium. It is cosny, in towns and dtios but in the country the ple have now gathered their first est since the war and are in need of Even butter is being served in the hotels, and in every house there is no longer the fear of starvation which for so many years made life a burden. Many persons are convinced that this time next year will see the country very well on the way to reeoyery.

Automobile Party Rescues Mired Deer Copper Harbor, An automobile party which was ing Keweenaw county recently, had a happy opportunity to play the Good Samaritan to a deer in distress and although they came to Copper bor without venison, they 'seemed well satisfied with results.

DOLLAR ABROAD Educational Centers Established at Various Regular Division Camps Where Men Are Taught How to Speak English, Learn a Trade and Assimilate American Ideals. The paH that the new peace time army is taking in Americanizing the hundreds of foreigners that come to this country annually is shown by Lt.

Col. T. J. Rogers, of the recruiting service, who was in Bismarck day. "Colonel Rogers said: "Our government has a worthy terest in all young foreigners, ially as those who have had a chance to make good have done so'and have become not only useful to himself, but a credit to this land.

It is not a erally known fact that the Army has been promoting Americanization work for the past fifty years, and in view ofv the increasing number of ers in our country, has recently ened it scope to accommodate the ever increasing demand. You know as well as we of the army do how many are here and are coining capped because they lack three tials to their success, namely cient money, English and the expert knowledge of the "trade they wish to follow, lt has been demonstrated in innumerable cases that if they do possess these three essentials the eigner is a success, if nof, they mostly become discouraged and are forced by circumstances only too often to follow modes of living that end in happy disaster. "The government knowing these things and feeling its joint bility all good citizens in these young men has decided to do thing active for them. This activity in their 'behalf has centered itself in the army's new vocational schools. One at ('amp Upton, Y.

where there are liOOO students comprising sentatives of 42 nationalities, and one at Camp Meade, Maryland, nearly as are called the army recruit ucational centers. At these schools only those men who cannot speak English are and are taught our language and many trades both al and technical that they may choose and our ideals of freedom, justice, and equality, at the same time building them up both physically and mentally. From our very recent knowladge of the great benefits of army training that is before us daily in every munity in the persons of young men recently returned to the pursuits of civil life, we know that any young man who takes this course will be a benefiUboth to himself and his fellow men after he has finished. "In the school at Camp Upton, which is only 55 miles from iNew York, speaking only of one ity. there We over a hundred young Italians now enrolled as enlisted men and reports indicates that all of them are most enthusiastic.

Some of them are learning to play for the first time in their life and have ample time for it as three hours each day are devoted to physical and military drill and three.hours school. The "rest of the day is their's. They can work or iplay as they choose. "The training of foreigners is not confined to the schools at Camp Upton and Camp Meade, as at the home stations of our regular division schools for enlisted men are ed under the supervision of trained educators. Such schools now exist at Camp Camp Travis, Tex.

Camp Pike, Ark. Camp Dodge, Ga. Camp Grant, III. Camp Funston, Kans. and Avhile yet they are less ambitious in the extent of tbe ground-" covered than the first two they are largely tended, not only by foreigners -but by 'Americans who- desire to Improve their education or.lfearn a trirae.

Drennan Delivers Ultimatuih to Coal Operators But Grants More Time for a Second Pow-Wow YContlmiftd Friom Page left entirely in the haiids of Henry Drennan, district president. Governor Frazier asked permission from John L. Lewis, acting president of the national organization, for the mines in North Dakota to be keptopen 011 a certain" co-operative plart.

Drennan is quoted by his Townley press as saying: "I have come here because it is cur desire to cooperate in every way with Governor Frazier and the farmers' administration." "We will place our position before the gov ernor. and lie 111 turn, if he so desires, can see what (he operators are willing to do about it. If the operators reach an agreement, then the miners in North Dakota will stay on the job. This is an tional situation, so far as the ers in North Dakota are concerned. Thruout the nation they are 011 strike, and the fate of the men of the whole national organization must be taken inui consideration.

Miners in Montana are under strike, and this statu is under tbe same jurisdiction. If the governor reaches a conclusion with the ators. we are willing to remain at 'Work, so Jong as coal mined here will not go out of the state and jeopardize the success of the strike in the Montana and other fields." FIJA.ZII-.K AS SI I ITER At the first noon between Frazier and other state aiU the mine erators of the state it is understood I''r outlined the uation to the I'lien be tailed in Drenna.a, who promptly 'cJd the employers what lie wanted nd would do if his demands were not granted. Briefly, Drennan refused to take cognizance of the present agreement between the employers and employes, nor did he propose another agreement to take its place. He merely submitted his demand for a flat increase of sixty 1'Creent in the present wage scale.

1 Under DrennanV. plan, it is stood, the increase. i1" it is met by the a a 1 that they will enpniy mcr til's iiiiind. is in into 'b" local organization- ot. Hie miners.

This money would then be sent to the locals whose meml ers a on strike in other states. GOVERNMENT AGAIN DEFIED The federal goverriment has cured art injunction thru the federal courts restraining 'the United Mine Workers, or its officers from using any of its funds for strike benefits. The operators take the stand that if they do grant this is only a supposition and not decided by any they would be ing the injunction obtained by the government, by paying the amount into the local's treasuries. PER TON FOR COAL If tiie demand made by Drei.nan is granted by the operators the ers of lignite coal in North Dakota, and that means practically every inIr-bitant of the state, will h-ive to the increase. This increase would moan that lignite coal in-Bismarck and Miuot would cost about ton aagainst $5 the present pr'ee.

The operators oHcr.d lint if the wage increase is granted, the price of coal at the.mine would have to he raised in proportion which would make it considerably In excess of the present price aro-ind $2.00 a ton lixed, by government. The operators believe this actiou would mako them responsible under the law U) the ernment. DRENNAN GRANDS PA'N'Dl XO pne operator who has nidiie a close stwly of tiie situation as it presents hi North Dakota. Said fnis.morn­ ing: "It looks as if Drennan is. ing a big play here in North Dakota so that he can take the office of the president of the United Mine Workers ot America.

Governor Frazier, who is anxious to get the union labor vote in this state under the Nonpartisan league banner, is evidently playing right into Drennan's hand by acting as his accomplice. "The miners are satisfied with their working conditions and their pay. I have sounded out many of the ihen working in and none of tiiem was labonjt nan's leadership. They claim they had nothiihg to say about the calling of this strike, that they do not want it A THE PEOPLE "Rut after all the conferences are bold, all the politics played, all the vain ambitions gratified, the result is that the public, the consumer, is the who pays the If the ators grant, the, increase," the raise will be added to the price of- coal and the consumer will pay extra burden." Which as one operator put it last iighf, "is Mrfly fair to the public when the miners themselves are isfied with their pay and their ing conditions." KENTUCKY ASKS TROOPS Washington. Nov.

FIRST COAL MINED What is probably the first reference to coal as a fuel is found in the Bible (Proverbs xxvi, 21) in the words: "As coals are to burning coals and wood to tire, so is a continuous man to kindle strife." This was written in 1016 B. C. at the time King Solomon came into power.

Part of his domain consisted of Syria and near the present city of Leruit coal mines were worked at that time. Coal is being mined there to this day. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature A MANDAN HOSPITAL ACCEPTED BY M. E. CHURCH TRUSTEES Morton County Institution to Be Enlarged and Made State Establishment Mandan, N.

Nov. a ing in Mandan last week plans were laid for the establishing of a hospital and deaconess training school under the direction of the Methodist pal church of North Dakota. This is rlie result of a proposition made by the directors of the Mandan hospital to the North Dakota conference recently held in Minot. At this conference a hospital hoard was appointed to gotiate with the Mandan directors and plans for such a financial paign as would seem necesaory for the perfecting of the hospital plant and school. As the local directors iropose to turn the hospital as it now is over to' the church free from debt, it was necessary to form a joint comproposed additions, such as a nurses' home and quarters for the training school.

As a training school must 1 ecessarily be more or less dependent upon the local church, it has seemed imperative to the church at the same time so that 110 link in the chain of Christian service will be fective. From the standpoint of structors and class room, as well as pervision of tiie youth to be trained, the church will be no small factor. "This is the beginning of a new day for Methodism in North Dakota," said Rev. Charles E. Vermilya, district su1 erlntendent.

"For years the ence has been debating the question of a hospital. Everywhere there has been the hope that, soon the church might be represented through this great avenue- I' I ENGRAVED The Force A A CALLING CARDS We are in position to supply you with Engraved Christmas and Galling Cards.
