A number of commissions by the gov- ernor are pending, including the nam- ing of a ‘successor to Major Fraser and the appointment of two officers for the hospital corps. “Lemke Here in Person—Wisliam Lemke, chairman of the republican state central committee, appeared in person at Secretary of State Hall’s office this morning to file a certincate of nomination showing John M.

No no- tice: will be taken of either certifi- cate, Mr. Hall announces, until the; supreme court orders him to do so. SPECIAL FEDERAL GRAND JURY TO BE CALLED IN ' JULY, ANNOUNCES JUDGE Fargo, N. D., June 25.—A special session of the federal grand jury will be called some time in July, to inves- tigate charges of, sedition; and non- registration which will he presented, Judge Amidon announced today. RESOURCES ARE GREAT Wealth of Country Eight Times as; Great as During Civil War. More Than 10,000,000 Persons and Cor. porations Able to Buy Liberty Bonds, Uncle Sam Estimates, “There are in the United States at | present more than ten million (10,000,- 000) individuals and corporations who are able to make subscriptions to the new liberty loan in amounts ranging from $100 to $100,000,000-each,” ‘says Uncle Sam's comptroller of the cur- rency. “This estimate is conservative when we corisider that there are more than 40,000,000 persons engaged in gainful occupations in this country besides the large number of men and women whose income is derived from their in- vestments,” he continues. “If every: individual in the United States should | subscribe to the new bonds to the ex- tent of only 5 per cent of his or her total possessions, the loan will be sub- scribed to six times over. “A few months ago the German gov- ernment offered a new loan of several. HiMon Gok a had been preceded by four or five oth- er government bond offerings, it is reported that. applications were re-. ceived from 5,250,000 subscribers, The population of Germany is less than, two-thirds of the population of this country, and the estimated total wealth of the German empire, according to a computation made: shortly before the outbreak of the war by Doctor Helffe- rich, secretary of the German treasury, was placed at from 69 to 76 billion dol- lars, or about one-third of the wealth | of the United States, which is now es- timated at more than 220 billion dol- lars. “The reports of our national banks of March 5, 1917. show that on the day named these banks had a total of 15,- 737,969 deposit accounts. This is an increase of $1,449,910 since May t, 1916, when the total number of de- posit accounts was 14,288,059. It is significant that 1,258,691, or seven- eighths of this increase, was reported by the country banks, indicating the wider diffusion of the wealth of the country. The total increase of depos- its in the national banks in this period’ of ten months was approximately two | billion dollars. The bank reports also show that on March 5, 1917, there were 459,619 shareholders in the national banks of the country, including 138,- 204 women stockholders. “The latest’ bank returns indicate | that the total resources of the banks of the United States at this time, in- cluding national banks, state banks, trust companies, savings banks and} private banks, is approximately thirty- | five billion dollars ($35,000,000,000), | exceeding by far the greatest banking resources ever before shown in any country.

Dissatisfaction. GLOWING PROMISES FAIL England Shows No Signs of Weaken- Ing, but Seems More -Determined to Prosecute War More Bit- terly Than Ever. Copenhagen.—Private advices from Germany tell of growing dissatisfac- tion among the people at large with submarine campaign and the absence of any indieations that it has brought the desired peace near to hand. During their long campaign for the unrestricted use of submarines the ad- votates of the measure made very defi- nite ‘promises of immediate results. “Two'or three months” was the phrase used éverywhere in street and news- ‘paper arguments in regard to the time it would take to bring England to her knees, ready for peace. Even though the official propaganda since has de- clared the government bound itself to no particular time to produce results, the prediction that they would be ob- tained in two or three months has re- mained in the minds of the people, Grumblings are now heard that, al- though four months have passed, Eng- land shows no signs of weakening, but, on the contrary, seems determined. to prosecute the war more bitterly than ever. Reports of France Discredited. | Statements that France has been “bled white” and. will be forced to re- tire from the war have been made so often that they no longer attract the slightest credence. The entry of the United States and Brazil into the war and the rupture of relations between Germany and the bulk of the neutral seriously and regarded with glooin, Questions have been recently asked the correspondent by Germans here, not in official positions, who are dis- gruntled over the results of the sub- marine campaign up to the present time, with regard to what would be the effect in the United States if the submarine warfare were abandohed. The government, however, shows no signs of weakening and is now en-} gaged in a vigorous publicity eam- paign to bolster up the waning conll- dence st home and quiet the com- plaints of neutrals. It is a matter of knowledge to the correspondent that at least one mem- ber of the German government re- fused to commit himself to any definite time limit for bringing Great Britain into a frame of mind to discuss peace. In the correspondent's last informal conversation with Dr. Alfred Zimmer- mann, head 6f the foreign office, a few hours before news of the rupture of relations with the United States was recelyed in Berlin, the minister, who was on tenterhooks to know what the United States would do, declared im- pulsively: * “If the United States will only keep hands off and let us alone, two or three months will be enough.” An Important Amendment, Then, noticing the correspondent prick up his ears at the foreign office use of the stock phrase of the ruth- lessness advocates, he quickly amend- ed his estimate. - “Say six months,” he said, and then reading a further query in the corre-| &pondent’s eyes, added: “Well, let us not fix any definite M time.” ’ Doctor Zimmermann then went on with the argument that England and the entente quickly would be made amenable to the peace idea if the United States would only refrain from breaking relations or declaring war in German naval writers for some time Many of them furnish the No mention of any increase in SINK BRITISH STEAMER.

New York, June 25.—That unscotch- ed snake, the write slave traffic, is flourishing today more vigorously than it flourished, in tho notorious heyday of the Lexow investigations. Its tentacles stretch from New York over the entire continent, grasp- ing their prey in South American cit- jes, as well as in the villages and small towns of the United States. | North and South Amer re on} the verge of the most astounding rev- elations of systematized, commerci: ized human depravity that the New World has ever seen. Despite all investigations and “clednups,” the vice ring reigns today over a wider kingdom of infamy than ever before.

By special permission of District Attor- ney Swann, I talked wth Yushe Bot- win, “king of the white slavers,” in the Tombs just before he was sent away for a long term of imprison- ment. What astounded me most in study- ing this beady-eyed man was his ut- ter failure to..comprehend in the slightest that he had done anything wrong—except to get caught, the woman ppearance to make He did not seem to be immoral.

Miss sures. was unmoral—absolutely without mor- als, Without the slightest trace of shame or repentance he told me how “cadets” haunted cheap dance halls and movies, made the acquaintance of high school girls, gave them wize, seduced them and, playing on their fears to return home, got them “on the street.” He told me all about the market for girls and how they were put up for auction or sold “over the coun- ter.” He seemed to be positively proud of his position in the under- world. Lieutenant Dan Costigan, head of the vice squad, lined up for me the same day a number of stool-pigeons and parasites of fallen women. ,They formed the most revolting picture of human monstrosities I have ever seen. Gorilla-like, with their long, un- wieldy arms, low-set and queerly- shaped ears, small heads and shifty eyes, the sure sign of drugs, they were merely cruel caricatures of men. * And I received another shock when even Yushe Botwin shuddered, or pre- tended to shudder, at the sight of these stogl-pigeons—the men who double-cross both prostitutes and po- lice. The juvestigation of 1912 estab- lished the fact that the business of white slavery, centering in New York and reaching its slimy coils out over tho country, is. exploited and con- trolled by men, though a few women are involved. Personal descriptions and histories of over 600 men ex- ploiters were obtained at tl time. That this same system exists tuday, revelations of Mrs. Humiston in the Cruger case indicate. She is believed to have revealed facts which will re sult in disclosures that this “vice trust,” of which little Ruth Cruger was probably one victim, extends not only into urope, but into South and as well.

WASONIG CELEBRATION 1 WELL ATTENDED A large representation of ‘Masons and friends gathered at the Masonic temple Sunday afternoon, to attend the special meeting held to commem- orate the 200th anniversary of the founding of modern masonry. Master Theodore Koffel gave the opening talk, telling of the purpose of the celebration and reading the an- cient charges and minutes of the first grand lodge meeting. He was fol- lowed by Rev. Bruce E. Jackson of the First Baptist church, who gave an inspiring talk on “The Field of Masonry of Today.” Dr. W. J. Hutcheson of the Me- Cabe church delivered the principal! address. He spoke on “The Romance | of Masonry of the Past and the Vi- sion of the Future.” Dr. Hutcheson predicted even a wider field for Ma- sonry in the future than in the past. His talk was a splendid resume of the history of Masonry extending over a period of 200 years. The soloist for the afternoon was Henry Halverson, tenor, who sang Buck's “Fear ‘Not Ye, Oh Israel.” Miss Helen Fisk was his accompan- ist.
