Our boys were taken from us in ones and twos, or in small groups, in civilian attire, except for those of Co.’s A and I, and with none of the pomp and glory associated with regimentals, flying col- ors and blaring bands. And they have returned as they went, quietly and without ostentation. There has been no opportunity for any such demonstra- tion at the train as welcomed Co. A on its return from the Philippines twenty years ago, or from the Mexican border in 1917. Tomorrew Bismarck hopes to make up for this lack. More than 150 American fighting men will be guests of the capital city at a banquet and dance given for the Yanks and their guests only at the Masonic temple. Home-folk will have an oppor- tunity to see the Yanks march, in order that there may be vented some of that pent-up enthusiasm. The soldier boys have been asked to assemble at the Auditorium and tc march thence to the Ma- sonic temple. If this is done, it will be a triumphal progress for the home-coming Yanks, through streets lined with civilians who will thus be af- forded their share in the celebration. Bismarck wants an opportunity to turn loose and to show the boys that as a community it is not cold and unappreciative, and the city will have this chance Tuesday evening. Nothing that can be said’ or written or done will ever begin to repay our brave fighters for the sacrifices they have made, the hardships they have suffered, the trials they have undergone. All of us appreciate this fact. We would like to impress that fact upon our homecoming Yanks. But it’s a task so huge and one in which all of us. feel so deeply that we do not know how or where to begin. As-time goes on, opportunities will come, and The Tribune believes that when ‘material manifestation of. gratitude is demanded it will be forthcoming in full measure. For the present we have our home-coming for tomorrow and others to be staged later on, and we'll make them the very best sort of home-comings we know how. ARE BABY BLUE:EYES AND GOLDEN CURLS TO BECOME ANCIENT HISTORY? Is nature bent on killing off all blonds? Will they soon vanish, leaving this world populated entirely by brunets? For years the scientists have claimed, yes. Now they insist that the war has proven their theory. Three years ago Madison Grant, highbrow, published a book crammed with long words that would give any ordinary man a headache. This book pointed out that Germany would lose the war because her military and aristocratic classes are blonds. Brunet races won the wari A long chain of doctors, from Woodruff to Macintosh, haye insisted that, while the blond is first to fight and makes the greatest sacrifices, he burns himself out of existence by super-effort or his light complexion vanishes in the children born from his marriage with brunets. The first wave of Nordics (blond tribes) ap- peared in Europe 3,000 years ago. They reigned supreme, but today Europe has only 90 million blonds and almost five times as many brunets. Why did the blonds lose out? Experts say it is a matter of weather and climate—that blonds flourish best. in the cold, open, foggy northern countries which they dislike. When they yield to their instinctive craving and seek the sunny south- ern climates, they become listless, their lies grow weak and they have fewer children. After the fall of Rome, the blond tribes would have kept their supremacy, had they not swept down from the Alps in southward invasions. There, being unable to stand hard work in the sun, they became the aristocratic ruling classes. Like the old Vikings, blonds need cold, invig- orating air and plenty of elbow-room. Their worst enemy is the great city, where brunets are better equipped physically to withstand the weakening effects of cramped offices and workshops. So say the scientists. The blond conquerors of India knew this. To prevent being extinguished by the dark people they mastered, they formed a caste system. Had they married brunets, their children in a few gen- erations would all have been dark. ‘ Northwestern Canada, say the scientists, will be the last stand of the vanishing blonds, it being the only sparzely settled country with the climate in which blonds can flourish. Why is the blond an easy victim of disease? ‘in nearly all great men in history have had dark air. Consider the loss to the world of baby-blue eyes and golden curlg. For the babies of future generations may all have black or brown hair and eyes. Nature, for reasons known only to herself, 3 reason as secret as the cause for men becoming shorter and having fewer teeth as they grow more civilized, has declared war on blonds. They are becoming extinct, though—with the exception of the crown prince—they are the loveliest in baby- hood and the most striking when mtaured. DON’T SELL YOUR LIBERTY BONDS Your government asks you not to sel] these unless you have to. To part with your Liberty Bonds means giving up your pledge to patriotism and citizenship. Liberty Bonds will be worth much more money presently and it is good business to hold them. If you must sell, go to a banker and let him give you information and advice. Do not sell to just anyone, who may not treat you fairly. The way to wealth is as short as the way to your bank or postoffice, or wherever War Savings Stamps are sold. The 1919 issue is blue in color and bears the likeness of Benjamin Franklin, who had wealth in his old age because he learned to save early in life. War Savings Stamps will show you how easy and sensible it is to get the Thrift Habit. Buy one every chance, and watch your savings grow.

No sooner did it appear likely that an effort would be made to apply the referendum to certain laws enacted by the last legislative assembly than the Nonpartisan léague through its official publications announced a schedule of two hundred meetings in the state at which its speakers would “explain” these measures and show what a mistake it would be to permit the people to vote on them. This is beating “big business” to it with a vengeance. Long before the opponents of these measures get their ma- chinery under way the league will have thrown out a smoke-screen that will make operations mighty difficult. This is the benefit that accrues to a political organization absolutely controlled by a single “boss” and having money to burn at its disposal. One of the most remarkable features about the Nonpartisan, league is:the fact that from first to last its organization was promoted and its program “put over” by professional agitators, who had no property interests in this state or any other. Of i { 1 SN When Prin loved of all B: Patricia, most be- ish noblewomen, man she loves in a most typical Amer- ican way. rode from London to | shott to review her own “Prin Pat's”, a Bismarck man was at the wheel of the ear which carried her and her father, the Duke of Connaught, formerly. governor general of ada. And when the “Priness Pat's”, most famous of all Canadian commands ‘in the overseas forces proudly filed past their sponsor, onecof the forty: original course they are socialists, every mother’s son of them} but the point we want to make is that these expert spellbinders are hired to présent only one side of the case. They are partisan in exactly the same sense that .a lawyer is partisan who is hired to represent a client in a lawsuit. .In the case of these agitators, Mr. Townley is their client or em- ployer, and he pays them well. But in spite of this fact, these spellbinders argue so skilfully, and are so adroit in appealing to the passions and preju- dices of their audiences that they not only manage to “get by,” but many hang upon their words as if they were oracles and inspired prophets, when in fact they are merely special pleaders, and skilled gab artists. The only thing any one of them has to lose is his job. These thoughts recurred to the writer as he heard Mr. A. E. Bowen “explain” two or three league measures in LaMoure last Saturday after- noon. It was the old, old game.. Mr. Bowen spent a solid hour recounting ancient history for the sole purpose of getting his audience in the “right” frame of mind. He dilated upon the familiar claim that the farmers of this state were swindled out of $55,000,000 on the 1915 wheat crop alone. He rang in the story of “D feed.” He agonized over the price of bran; “What do you farmers have to pay for bran in LaMoure?” he asked. Someone thought it was selling at around $56 a ton. “My God!” exclaimed Mr. Bowen. And no wonder, when you think of the tons of bran he has to buy every day! We had a vision of Mr. Bowen addressing a body of humble wage earners in Chicago or New York: “What do you slaves have to pay for eggs?” he asks. “Seventy cents a dozen.” “My God! And how much for butter?” “Eighty cents a pound.” “My God! And how much for beef steak? For bacon? For bread?” “My God!” he cries as the bitter story of war prices is told. But here in North Dakota the game is to talk about “D feed” and the price of bran, and to forget two-dollar wheat and the highest range of prices for agricultural produce this state has ever known. Mr. Bowen discussed but two or three of the laws recently enacted, and of these only two are likely to be made subject to the referendum. The Chronicle hopes and believes that no attempt will be made to refer the terminal elevator and flour “Pat’s,”-ull wha are left of the splen- ‘did regiment which went over when the war was young, was a Bismarck ‘man. The Bismarck wan’ who drove Prin- cess Patricia, and. her roy: futher modestly tells about it in the following letter: Bramshott, England. February 24. Bismarck Tribune Bismarck, N. Dear Sirs :- You will find enclosed clippings from two papers overhere, showing the re- view of the famous regiment known as the'“Princess Pat's”, the most fam- ous of the Canadian expeditionary forces. * A Bismarck man. named Havelock belonged to that. famous. regiment which has covered itself with glory and maybe you will rememb him visiting Bismarck ubout two years ago. I wade inquiries for him that day. and though I asked about a hundred men, if they were acquainted with a person named Hayelock, no one knew him. The reason for that was that yery few of the original “Pats” are living todas, as you will see by. the clipping. ‘ Havelock biniself, might “have been there, though none of those I asked about him seemed to know him. I myself was there at the review as I am staff driver to Brigadier, General Sir William Bell D. S. O. general in rommand of the demobilization staff of the Canadian army in England, and I drove the Duké of Connaught and “Princess Patricia” from Vondon to make the review of the regiment of which she is “Colonel, in Chief”. It maybe will be a ‘little “news” to Bismarck people to know that two Bismarck boys were there at the re- view. This is just a little news item if you care to use it as [ just received a Tribune with a letter written by me to Mrs. Jewell of Bismarck from Mons the night after the armistice was signed.

The nume and. the plan of vork are to be presented for discussion gud ac- eptance at the convention in St. Ta - One of the working plans sug} sted is that of two houses, one to be made up of representatives from the yoting states, and the other to be made up of representatives from ‘the non-voting A suggestion comes thut the ght be known as the house of , the latter as the house, of dele- gates. Supposedly when a state adopts unl- versal suffrage, its state union of wo- men citizens: would become automatical- ly.a state union of women voters, For example, in New York, the branch of the national unioy of women citizens would be known as the New York State union of Women. voters. In Cotiecticut. the state branch, would be the Conecticut union: of women citi- zens, When Conecticut emerges from its present. disenfranchised: condition, it would cease. to be. represented in the House of Delegates; it, would send members to the. House of voters and its union would become the Conecticut union of women voters. Another suggestion that has taken form in the minds of some is that the two houses should. sit in sions when aye: S, cussion that cor ly the states where women were still working for the vote, or questions that concerned only states where women who were already voters buld have a voice. Under such an arrangement as that the idea seems to be that ¢ach house vould control the policies of its own ty, one treasury serving for ‘and each house presénting r its own work. < ago in January Ameri 1° Rights Ass was found to We too losely ‘strung to bald the seething demands of the wo- men of the country Who had peen new- the ly awakened to their need of the Ballot , by the events following the Civil War.

Referendum Planned To Place Schleswig (N. E. A. Special to the Tribune.) Copenhagen—Danish flaims to Schleswig-now before the peace con ference probably will be determined by a referendum. In Northern Schles- wig the vote will be taken ‘for the whole territory, In: Central Schels- wig it will be by districts so to deter- mine which districts are Danish and- which are German,, Thus it 1s ex: vected the whole of the northern Schleswig and part, of the central, por- tion will become Danish. The Danes also demand the northern end of the island of Sylt.. Withdrawal of German garrisons before the vote is taken will be asked. Germans are now removing from Northern Schleswig as rapidly as possible, realizing that the region is lost to Germany. “MOTHERS Should see that the whole family take at least 3 or 4 doses of a thoro,. pyrifying, system cleaning medicine this spring.
