Uy SHIPS SEIZURES, LANSING'S REPLY American’ Note Demonstrates That Germany’s Threats Were Cause LEGALITY UNQUESTIONED Instead of Injustice, American Control is Really Help to Dutch’ Washington, D. C., April 12.—Am erica’s reply to the recent statement of the Netherlands. government bitter ly protesting against and denouncing the action of the United States in tak ing over Dutch ships in, its ports, war made public tonight in the form of : memorandum by Secretary Lans a copy of which has been sent to the Netherlands legation. Pointing out that the Netherlands government it elf does not question the legality ot the act Mr. Lansing devotes himselt to a demonstration that it was an act of necessity resulting from Germany’: menacing attitude which prevente: Holland from fulfilling her engage ments, and that instead of an injus tice the step results in real benefit to the Dutch ship owners and people The Note The Netherlands government have issued a statement relative to the rec ent action of the government of the United States in putting into its ser yice for the period of the present war emergency certain privately owned vessels of Netherlands registry lying within the territorial jurisdiction o! the United’ States. While this action ig referred to as being indefensible trom the standpoint of internationa) law, the statement of the Nether lands government does not argue the question of legality. Nor is this gov- ¢rnment disposed to do so. “ “The practice of nations and the! opinions of purists on the right of « belligerent to utilize all ve wh come voluntarily and unconditionally within its, jurisdiction are sufficiently well known to render citation of pre-| cedent and of authority unnecessary But; as the Netherlands government themselves suggest, our action mus. be subjected to a finer test than that of miere legality, It matters very littl that our acts be legal, if as alleged, i! violates traditional friendship and iv inconsistent with ideals of right and justice, American, Supplies Low ‘The, Netherlands government first declares that the very presence ot Dutch ships in our ports resulted from our detention of them with an un- friendly, hand. While our right to re- fuse. bunkers and cargo licenses is conceded, friendship, it is said should have led to the granting of special privileges in favor of the subjects of a triendly. state. Our own supply; of bunker. coal at seaboard has been. in‘ adequate for our pressing national needs. The cargoes which were de- manded were largely of grain, of -which our ownu reserves are all too low. The bunkers, if granted, would have served to carry this grain to the Netherlands where, as events have demonstrated, it was not then needed and where it would only have served to release equivalent foodstuifs for the enemy. Such action upon our part, whatever its intention, would in fact have been an act beneficial to the en- emy and having no relation to our friendship to the Netherlands, British Ships Idle “The owners of Dutch ships were, however, unwilling that British ships should perform any other services than those which it was clearly impos This would be effected by giving re présentation to commerce, industry and labor, county councils, churches. | Jearned institutions and peerage. Sir Horace remarks that in consti tuting the house of commons the na- tionalists, offered to guaranjee forty percent of its membership t& the un. ionists. He adds that is was agreed that in the south of Ireland adequate representation for unionists could only. be secured by nomination, but “as ulster’s representatives had in- formed the convention that those for whom they spoke could not accept the principle of nomination, provision was made in the scheme for extra re- presentation of ulster by direct elec- tion,” SUNDAY DINNER Sunday dinner, 6 to 8 o'clock, Grand Pacific hotel.

"WING SETS THE ~ MARK FOR ALE BURELEIGH FOLK i Little Town, Hard Hit, Treb- | les Quota Before Liberty Loan Drive Starts _———— = Wing, a very small community in the newer northern part of Burleigh county, where the farm- ers as a\rule are not long estab- lished, and where two years’ poor crops have practically depleted their resources, was assigned a comparatively small allotment of Liberty bonds, and doubt was ex. pressed as to whether Wing, in its condition, could meet even this quota. The cards reached Wing on Thursday morning. Thursday eve- ning County Chairman H. P, God- dard called his Wing chairman on another matter. “We'll need more cards,” said the Wing Liberty Loan man. “How’s that,” replied Goddard—“the campaign isn’t to begin until Monday morning.” “Can't help that,” was the Wing chieftain’s retort, “the folks began piling in this morning as soon as they. found we had the application cards and insisted upon our tak. ing their subscriptions. We've already sold $3,500 worth of bonds (more than 100 per cent in excess of their quota), and by tomorrow night we'll have six to seven, thousand on our books.” Wing has set the pace for all of Burleigh county. No section in Burleigh has suffered as Wing has during the last two years. If Wing can double its quota and then redouble it, there can be no doubt’ as to the success of the Third Liberty Loan in the county as a whole. In Bismarck, al- though the campaign doesn’t be- gin until Monday, local banks re- | ported voluntary purchases of $15,000. worth of bonds Friday. FORTY MORE MAY BE ARRESTED IN LY NGHING PROBE | Witnesses at: Hearing Implicate | Others Besides Five Al- | ready.

Ac ‘cording to persons present at the in: quest testimony implicated, that num. | ber of persons wag given at the hear- ing and it is expected that indictments will be asked for them, charging somc with murder and others with conspir acy and rioting. An attache of the attorney general’: office decided today that Riegel’ who jis said to have confessed that he w: the leader of the mob, will not be ex: tended any immunity because of his adinission So far as can, he learned today none of the evidence introduced identifie? the man who actually tied the rope around Prager’s neck. Several per sons are said to have been identitied as among those who pulled the rope. W. B. Trautmann, first assistant at torney general, in a staten paper men today, decla testimony indicated that the mob | never originally intended to lynch Pra | ger and that the decision to do so was not made until they reached the place where it occurred. It did) show, he said, that they intended: to tar and feather him, but such materials not being at hand, a rope was substituted with tragic nits MOTT LABOR BUREAU TO SUPPLY FARMERS Mott, V. D.

Mr. Pfeifer of Minneapolis, Minn., is the inventor of a most wonderful machine for extracting great values from straw and other vegetation. that has been a waste matter for the last century. The inventor would. like to interview capital in your locality to manufacture the machines at your closest point. The inventor also has. a, miniature machine that can be demonstrated that such production is correct as stated. One ton of straw would. light and. cook for an ordinany farm house, if it was made into, gas, for months, The. estimate. shows that one ton of straw will make ‘20,000 cubic feet of luminating gas, and oth- er valuable by-products which are not taken into consideration at the pres- ent time.
