Then, i the submarine warfare should make England hungry, and force her to a separate peace, Germany would easily defeat us, within six months, as we are deficient in both our army and navy. Some Things We Must Do, “Some things we must do, Our first line of defense must be diplo- macy. If we are wise, we will imme- diately enter into a compact with the entente allies that there shall be no separate peace. The British navy has saved us for two years, and to- day stands between: us and our ene- mies. If that. navy should be neu- tralized we are defeated.

Then, we must have universal military training. We im- agine that one American is equal to about three men of any other nation. The fact is that it takes about three Ame ns to defeat any soldiers of other nations, The time has come for some man to write a truthful his- ath- tory of the United States.

Haig calm- ly studied the situation and quietly turned to hig subordinate, saying: “We shall hold.on here for. a while, if we all die for it,” That aroused the English forces to stop the oncoming Germans.

First, Mr, MeLean, upon good Dem- ocratic. authority, has not resigned as chairman of the Democratic. state cen- tral committee; and upon the same Democratic authority, no ollicial. call for the Saturday meeting was issued. But, rumor bas it, John Burke wired. one of his Grand Forks hench- men to, call the megting, with the un- derstanding that a boom for the Uni- ted ‘States treasurer for congress would be acceptable, Something went. wrong. Somebody threw a monkey. wrench into the poli- tical cogs, and the mecting adjourned without anything tangible resulting. It is understood that unti] Mr. Me- Lean files his resignation, he will re- main chairman of the Democratic state central committee. It is argued there need be no haste, as the next campaign is in the far distance, There i id to be on foot a move- ment to have Governor Frazier pro- claim that all candidates for congress in the First district shall run on peti- tion and without party designation. It is said that an old statwory pro- vision would permit this, and that such. an, arrangement would be highly acceptable to the Nonpartisan league, which despails of breaking in on the solid Republican strengt in the First, if party lines are adhered to. Governor Frazier already bas indi-| ¢ cated a preference for a primary, but it is doubtful whether a primary can be held. The laws are not very ex- plicit. on this, subject. The revised code of 1899, section 5.0, says: “When any vacancy. occurs the office of a member of congress from this state, it shall be the duty of the governor to issue his proclamation appointing a day to hold a special election to fill such The primary election law of 1907, chapter 109, provides; “For svecial elections for the offlgers enumeratet uerein, nominations shall be msde as otherwise provided by Jaw.” “As otherwise provided by law” takes. in considerable territorz, but the provision most generally thought roferred to by this chapter is the old statute providing for the 1 of candidates by party c convention.

When a young girl she came to the United States and located in} Chicago, For some time she was con- nected with the Passavant Memorial hospital of Chicago as nurse.
