WORDS! WORDS! His holiness, Pope Benedict, is « statesman of too sound judgment to find much consoiation or hope of an immediate peace acceptable to any other than the central powers in the carefully compiled combination of smooth diplomatic phrases which con- stitute the replies of Germany and Austria to his peace proposals. There is nothing in elther of these messages which can possibly change the status of the war, nor America’s attitude in the! war. Germany and. Austria are ready to consider peace if they can dictate the terms. Germany naively suggests that after it has ac- complished its ends, it will consent to disarmament, and suffer the submis- sion of any differences which may arise in a Germanized world to a Ger- manized international court of arbitra- tion. Kaiser Wilhelm blandly notes the inmyportance of freedom of the seas, in order that German commerce may be unhampered following the German conquest. He says nothing of the res- toration of Belgium nor of reparation to her people for wrongs done. He leaves open all of the questions really vital to the consideration of peace. He glosses over with high-sounding words the fiexed claws which lie un- derneath. Nothing could better illustrate the stupendous lack of understanding which exists in the minds of the autoc- racy as to the issues involved in this war. Nothing could better prove the utter contempt and absolute indiffer- ence which Germany, in particular, feels toward all claims of right, hu- manity and justice, when weighed in the scales against German world dom- ination. These notes will not mislead the world. We doubt that they will make any impression upon his holiness. Mere words: cannot straighten out the tangle in which German rapacity and greed have enmeshed the central powers. They must yet learn their lesson through the bitter experience of a numbing defeat. The conservation skirt has arrived from Paris. It saves wool, and it's slit. Some of the greatest women think camouflage skirt would be a more appropriate name. BOSS HAS TROUBLES,- TOO. It makes you feel gdod to have the boss come into the shop and say, “Good morning,” in’ a bright cheery fashion—doesn't’ it? Itymakes the day start well, and you feel more kindly teward the |.o3s and the fellows you're working with And somehow you expect this !in.! of a greeting from the bhoss—son times when he hasn't saluted you in the morning you have a grouch ali day. But did you ever stop to think that the boss himself needs brac- ing up once in a‘ while? He's up against as many hard things as you are. These trouble him just as much as your affairs trouble you. The boss” troubles may not be just like your troubles, but you may set it down as a fact that he has troubles enough of his own. . Suppose you give the boss a g00 jolly once in a while and be perfectly sincere about it, of course. And you'll find the boss a very human sort of a fellow—not much different from yourself. The chances are it isn’t so long ago that he was on the same kind of a job that you are now. BRACE UP THE BOSS. Try it out tomorrow morning. REMEMBER BELGIAN PRINCE. We went to war with Spain in 1859S rememberiny ihe Maine. Our men sre going to war in 1917 remember: Lusitania. It will be we! for the civilians, who will have chary of the peace making, to remember the Belgian Prince. The Germans have been guilty of more brutalities, more horrors, more outrages than known before in the en- tire history of warfare, but even they seem toshdve outdone themselves in their treatment of.the British steam- ship Belgian Prince, at least one of whose crew was an American. The steamer was shelled by a U-boat, July 31, about 200 miles off Ireland. No one was injured. Every- one got safely to the life boats. Then the submarine came up and her commander ordered the crew to line up on the deck of the German war vessel. Their life boats were de- stroyed, their life belts taken away, and the seamen were left standing there while their captain was made a prisoner. Before the unfortunate men could realize the devilish plan of the Ger- mans, all the hatches had been closed and the submarine got under way. When she attained a good speed,. she suddenly submerged, so as to leave the sailors drowning like rats. The last thing they saw was the grinning, sneering face of the U-boat command- er as he pecred at them from his con- ning tower. It was a case of “spurlos versenkt,” of attempting to sink a ship without leaving a trace. It was the acme of ' German savagery and German ruth- tessness. Never before in warfare ve civilians been thus deliberately done to death. It is with the kaiser and the gov- ernment. that ,tolerate such crimes, that condone them, that reward and honor their perpetrators, that our dis- loyalists wish to make peace. There can be no peace with such wild beasts. They are the mad-dogs of the world and must be treated like mad dogs. And they are still in the ascendant in Germany and likely to remain so for along time. Presidgnt Wilson's noble attempt,.to,distinguish, hetween the German government and thé: Ger- man people has apparently defeated itself, German newspapers, German business men’s associations, German municipal organizations are vieing with each other in sending messages of loyalty and devotion to the head of the Hohenzollern tribe. ‘Pefooled by their rulers, ignorant of what the world thinks of them, de- ceived as to the preparations America is making to enter the war with power and force, bemused by false stories of what the U-boat is doing to England and Franee—the German people still cling to their idols, still hold to their dream of worid power and endless loot and indemnities. All this being so, he who talks peace to Americans is talking treachery to us, to our allies, to the cause of de- mocracy. There will be no time to talk peace until the Hohenzollerns are down and the people up. The new skirts save cloth—for use in the long coats that go with them. ( Korniloff will testify that revolu- tions in Russia, if they are not pay- enter, are at least pay-leave. MEMBER OF ELLENDALE COMPANY MAY LOSE AN ARN FROM GUN WOUND Private of Co. K Receives Charge in Arm While Preparing for Hunting Trip Ellendale, N. D., Sept. 22.—Milton Wilson, 4 member of Company K and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Wilson, whose home is about seven miles east of this city, was accidentally shot while starting on a hunting trip. The entire charge of the gun entered the right arm just above the elbow, ter- ribly lacerating the upper arm. Milton, in company with Spencer Crabtree and Clark White, had been hunting earlier in the morning, and ‘had returned to the house for some reason. About 10:30 o'clock the three ‘ort the house to continue the hunt. were riding in a light spring wa- vou, and Milton was standing up in ‘he rig, with the butt of the gun, a inchester pump, resting on the ,'loor of the rig ,with the muzzle of | the weapon under his arm. There was |a shell in the barrel but young Wil- son says the gun was not cocked. When only a few rods away from the house it supposed that the jarring | of the rig exploded the charge in the barrel, which entered the arm just below the right elbow, and continued upward through. the shoulder. - The Tunscular part of the upper arm was literally torn away. Getting: His Cues pontirs Idah McGlene Gibson Portrays the Inspring Draina of the Am- merican Home in War Time. ° By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON. (Staff Correspondent of The Tribune.) Rockville Center, L. I, Sept. 22.— This was the stage setting of the dra- ma of the FIRST REAL AMERICAN WAR BABY—a universal drama of the, éry father Gnd mother’ witit the Spirt of América in the great war: ~~ A messenger boy passed quickly up the walk between the squares of lawn of a quiet home in Rockville Center, a typical Long Island town of 4,000, New Yorkified and yet countrified. At the door, as the boy waited for his book to be signed, they read this cablegram: —Captain Albert Whitney Waldron.” Suddenly upstairs, behind a closed door which opened only as the doctor and nurse passed in and out, arose a new sound above the subdued moan- ing—that first wail from a tiny throat for which anxious fathers have lis- tened, since life began, more eagerly than for the sweetest’ music. The messenger boy was starting down the walk. He was called back. When he returned to the telegraph office he carried with him this cable- gram: b: “Capt. Albert Whitney Waldron Jr., has arrived safely in the United States. Mother and child both well.” That is the story of the arrival in the same hour at the home’ of Mr. and Mrs. Francis G. Hooley, Mrs. Wald- ron’s parents, of the first Amierican war baby and also of the news that the baby’s father, at the time when most men are pacing back and forth within call meeting their supreme nervous test, had just set foot on a distant land staged for death instead of birth. ‘. The cablegram announcing her hus- band’s safety in France was the first as she lay a short while later in her bed, with the “very image” of the ab- sent captain asleep on her arm. I'll bet Capt. Albert Whitney Wald: ron of the American expeditionary, forces “somewhere in France” would give his boots to be in my place—for I’ve just seen this first American war baby in his bassinet. Captain junior (I can imagine that is what he’will be called) wrinkled up his little button of a nose, opened his dark eyes wide for a moment,-‘then closed them slowly. He didn’t-care about history—or that he was history in the making, a symbol of the Amer-, ican mother’s fortitude in war time. Perhaps some day he may bé-proud of being the first war son born to an American captain in France, but now |all the little codger thinks about is eating and sleeping. : Mrs. Waldron, self-possessed, gives no sign of having gone alone through the “valley of the shadow,” while the! husband, who would have given all he’ | had in the world to hold her hand at| 'that moment, entered himself another ; valley .of. death thousands of miles away. -She looked like a young col- lege girl, in her yellow sport skirt, her white middy and tennis shoes. “We have been married. only two} years in November,” Mrs. Waldron told me. “It was a West Point ro- mance. As soon as my husband was} graduated from the Point and received ; his command we were married. + “Capt. Waldron was in Mexico at first——” From time to time as she talked to! me Mrs. Waldron turned and looked! at the little baby face, half hidden in; lace.

For the future of de- mocracy lies in their laps and coos, and they know that He who takes away, also gives. 2 «As for how Capt. Waldron felt, away off there, in the hours in which he knew the form nearest to his heart was twisting in pain, and when he would have moved heaven and: earth to get to his wife’s side—I will leave the imagining of that to the men folk. - MILL COMING THROUGH tLaMoure Institution to Be Ready to Operate by Oct. 10 LaMoure, N.

Each one thought of a different name Yet all sang Annie Laurie. This week I am. pleased to report that our judges have been holding court and hearing arguments in two, or three cases every day. Next weck we purport to get down to work and to give our decisions in several cases. In the second Regents case I sub- mit the decision.. Tnough the judges tliink different reasons they all ar- rive at the same conclusion. The| question was on whether or not there | was a vacancy in the office held by; two members of the board | whose term expired on the Ist day of duly, 1917. In the former case Justice Grace and Justice Birdzell held that there was then a vacancy and their opinions were 11 and thoroughly considered. Justice Rodingon clear- ly indicated that themembers. were appoirted to hold office for a defin- ite term of years and when ‘their term: expired it ended and there be- came a vacancy. Hence, the second decision was a foregone conelusion. Indeed there was no occasion for this second suit only that «the office holders do become so infatuated with their office that it is hard for them to retire gracefully when their term| expires. State Ex Rel Scow, et al. Robinson, J.: This is a kind of sec- ond edition of the’Board of Regents’! case decided some three months ago. A majority of the judges held that there had been a valid appointment of the five memers of the board then’ in office. Two members were ap- pointed to hold oftice for two years from the first day of July, 1915, and under the plain words of the statute their term of office expired on July 1,.1917. The governor has appoint- ed their successors who have duly qualified, but the respondents claim the right to hold over because the ap- pointment of their successors has not been confirmed by the senate. Under the statute the governor may remove any member of the board for incompetency, neglect of duty, im- morality, malfeasance in office or for any other good cause, and in case of a vacancy in the membership of the board whether occurring by rea- By Justice J. E. Robinson son ‘of removal . or ‘otherwise,...the governor may declare the office va- cant and fill the same by appoint: ment until the convening of thé-next session of the legislative assembly. And that is just what-the governor has done; but/the respondents” insist that by reason of their; molding over after,their term of oftice had expired there Was no. vacancy forthe govern- or to ‘fill by an appointment. The point’ is quite nice. and. technical but it is manifestly, contrary.to- tne let- ter and spirit of the statuie. Under such a construction. of the statute all mombers once appointed might hold for life unless. the governor and the SENATE should agree on thew suc- cessors. ‘The respondents cite and rely. on an early decision of this court under. a statute providin c an officer appointed should holu over after his term unless his successor was duly. appointed. . In ‘eonstruing this statute the court said It not.only fixes a definite term of offiee for the term of two and four, years ‘but also with equal clearness annexes to the definite term another~period or term of indefinite’ duration. which * period has been aptly descrisedvas a defeas- ible term of office.,The-statute ex- pressly. declares that. after the limit- ed term has expired the trustees shall continue in, office ‘for a further per- iod and until their successors are ap- pointed arid qualified. . (State vs. Boucher, 3 N. D. 397.) This decision was on an appointment by our Popu- list Governor Shortridge and neither the legislature nor the’ courts had any disposition to. favor’ his appoint- , ments: However, it is certain that the statute in question does not pro- vide for a definite-and then an in- definite or defeasible term of office. The members are appointed afid com- missioned to hold office only for a definite term and when. that term ends there is a vacancy which the governor may fill by: appointment. There is nothing to ge gained by a prolonged discussion of the statute. The judgment of this court is that the respondents have no:right to. with- hold or retain office as’members of the Loard of Regents ‘and they may no longer hold the office and that their successors be let into office.
