P. White, Resident Boara Member, Hot After Build- ing of New Dormitory. ~ " (By United Press.) f.ondon. (By Mail.)—*King Con- stantine or Bolshevism’ is the slogan of Greek royalists, who are agitating vigoroysly against the present Athens government. This policy was ex- plained by Panos Katapodes, Greek author and poet, whose pro-Constan- tine propaganda have been suppressed by the British and French police. Katapodes, who might be descnbgd as the Greek D’Annunzio, is now in London heading a national movement for the restoration of ‘the ex-king, who he declares, was illegally deposed by the allies. Failing the return .ot Constantine he demands a republic, “Not a false republic liye the French, for example, but a true People’s Dem- ocracy, such as first created by Solon at Athens twenty:fivé centuries ago, and revived in Russia today by the Bolsheviki.” % A picturesque figure, even in pro- saic FEuropean morning dress, the young poet is brimming with en- thusiasm for the ‘“‘cause.’” He has some bjtter things,to say about the allies—at least, England and France. The sixth state normal school in Bemidji ended its first summer term this torenoon, the first term of the new seat of learning, and the session was highly satisfactory in every de- tail It had been expected, or rather hoped for, that the enrollment would be 100, but this was exceeded, the attendance being 130 of which about fifteen were from Bemidji. Every student completed his work satisfactorily and the school authori- ties are much gratified. Not only was Beltrami county represented in the student body, but they enrolled from several other counties of the state. Many will return to Bemidji for the beginning of the fall term, the commencement of the first school year. Denuty Deserves Credit.

The new normal dormitory will not be ready for occupancy, when the school opens for its first year, and as a consequence the residents of Bemidji must open their homes to the boys and girls who are to attend the inijtial regular session of the new state institution. * The members of the Women's Com- munity and Civic club, who com- piled a list of rooms available for the summer school students, are as- sisting in the work of providing a in other states, being secured from an important post in the Kansas City schools. The time was short, when the state normal board selected him from a long list of most capable edu- cators, until the scheduled opening, but President Deputy made a hurried trip east and succeeded in’securing an instructional corps of which any school might well be proud.

America can never support, knowingly, the Anglo-French satrapy, which is usually called today, “the Hellenic Kingdom.” “Today in Greece, no Greek can either publicly or in private express freely his opinion on matters affect- ing his life without permission from foreign censors or their misled Greek servants. “No territorial acquisitions can compen-ate the Hellenes for the un-, just sufferings and humiliations caused to them by England and France during the war.

LIOUOR REFERENDUM " BARRED IN MICHIGAN Lansing, Mich., Aug. 1.-—A refer- endum vote on ratification amend- ment cannot lawfully be hew in Michigan, Attorney General Gross- beck ruled in advising the secretary of state not to accept initiatory peti- tions to that end, filed by the Michi- gzan State Hotelmen's association. The attorney general holds that the state referendum clause applies only to legislation by bill and does not cover amendments to the Federal Constitution.

This is expected to be the largest assemblage of chemists ever held in the United States, the membership of the society having incerased from 7,- 170 in 1914 to 13,600 in 1919. More than 5,000 chemists and thousands more are in liliinois, Ohio and other stutes only a few hours journey from here. One of the large delegations, it is beiieved, will be from California where there has been a tremendous advance in the chemical industry within the last year. The strides made by the chemical industry of the nation, as shown in statistics issued by the American Chemical society in advance of the convention, were directly stimulated by President Wilson's recommenda- tion to congress that the industry be gafeguarded and by the disposition of legislators to furnish adequate pro- tection. This effect is especially felt by the newly organized dye section of the society. The introduction of a li- cense system would regulate for a limited number of years the importa- tion of dyes, colors and medicinal substances. It was pointed out that “dumping” of the products of these when any rival to her trade appeared.

Washington, Aug. 1.--Occasional flashes of humor lighten the serious- ness of the senate league of nations battle. Here are three stories the league debate is responsible for. Senator Williams, Miss., was ex- plaining that though the league cove- nant was not all the United States de- sired,, it was all we could expect un- der the circumstances. “Which reminds me of my little girls,” he said. ‘“‘One had straight hair, while the other had curly hair. The straight-haired one was envious of her sister’s ringlets, and often used to grumble, because her own tresses refused to curl. “One day the curly haired one was grumbling about some fancied hard- ship, and her sister rebuked her thus: “ *Well, you know, you can’'t have everything AND curly hair.’” INONPARTISAN LAW And Senator Knox, shaking his head over glowing predictions of the way the United States is to lift weak natiops from their lowly condition, sald: i, = v "'l'fé'xi‘- makes-. me think of the drunkand who was lying in.the gut- ter, unable to rise. Nobody paid any attention to him until another, not quite so drunken came along, and asked what was the matter. “‘ can't get up,’ said the recum- bent one. k “‘I'll pick you up,’ volunteered the other, and suiting the action to the word, he tugged and pulled, but suc- ceeded only in toppling himself over. **Tell you, friend,’ he said tinally, ‘1 can’'t get you up, bhut here’s what 1 will do—1I'll lie down with you."" Senator Swanson was discussing what will happen to those senators who oppose the league. “They’'ll fare like the plowboy, said Swanson. ‘‘He was plowing his field. when an inquisitive passerby asked him how much wages he re- ceived.” *‘Wages?' said the boy. 1 don’t get no wages. I get nothin’ if I do, and hell {f 1 don’t.’” DIRECTORS MEET. The directors of the Womens’ Com- munity eclub met yesterday and de- cided to have a baby clinic the lat- ter part of August which will be a follow up of the one held the first of May. The babies under two years of age which were examined at that time will be examined again. .ars. R. H. Schumaker will have charge of the clinic. The club will also secure a list of rooms for the Normal stud- ents for the fall term, which will open the first part of September, of which Mrs. Spooner will have charge. The first regular meeting will be held the first Saturday in September and will take the form of an open meeting, a reception for new mem- bers. “BIG STUFF" VISIONS FADE TO GRAY: BLEACH Visions of rioting, mobrule,- an invasion of the United States and mapy more other harrowing supposi- tions, flitted through observers minds when they saw a heavily load- ed train bearing a large number of camaflouged army tanks, machine guns and all sorts of army battle equipment, likewise several United States soldiers, pull into Bemidji and soon after pull out Thursday after- noon on the Great Northern. “Big story,” exclaimed Pioneer representative to himself. ‘“Good stuff " he reiterated, and away he dusted.

FORCES TWELVE PAPERS North Dakota Weeklies Hit by Printing Measure; Others to Follow, Report. Fargo, N. D. Aug. 1.--Twelve, North Dakota weekly newspapers al- ready have been forced out of busi- ness through the operation of the printing law passed at the last ses. sion of the state legislature, under the terms of which all legal and of- ficial printing of every kind will be centered into one newspaper in each county, to be selected by the Townley state printing commission. ’ Other newspapers will go out .of business, it is said. Publishers are withholding announcement of their intention to quit pending outcome of the point that Attorney General Will- jam alnger has made, namely, that county official papers have binding contracts with the counties, which the state cannot break during thé contract period, which runs another nine months. ' Publications that have been dis- continyed since the people approved the printing law follsw: Monitor, Maxbass; Herald, Hurdsfleld; G zette, Grace Cily; Sentinel, Makoti; Statesman, Wing; News, Oberl News, Calio; Gazette, McKenzi Magnet, Dunseith: News, Braddock; Mirror, Wolford.
