For example, reports of the Great Northern show they are now loading about 100 grain cars a day compared to 85 or 40 two weeks ago.” % “But while the service is im- proved it still is bad,” he added, “and there are indications of rank discrimination.

At a conference’ of representatives of state railway commissions in Washington, a committee of nine was named, with Mr. Milhollan as chair- man, to study the car situation from a national viewpoint and report on teh results.

While no answer was given, he said, bodies created by the interstate commis- sion opposed the request. There is; a possibility the state commission may proceed under North Dakota; laws. oh Lack Motive Power. One of the chief troubles in the! car situation in the west, according, to Mr. Milhollan, is that the North-; west /sends loaded cars east and| brings fewer loaded car backs. There | also is lack of mo\eve power on east- erns roads, he said, and while there are thousands of cars standing on’ tracks in eastern states the roads are unable to move them west. Instructions have been issued byj the Great Northern railfoad to give preference to cars of grain consigned | to the state clevator at Grand Forks | for storagd, according’ to a ‘mes-| sage received by the state railroad commission from Supt.

They had expected to be mar- ried at Christmas time but Tiernan, it is believed got excited and tie hasty marriage at Crown Point was the result. “My daughter never has been a very calm thinker, acting frequently on the impulse of the moment, and} this, together with Tiernan’s insist- ence, no doubt easily won her ovef. “She did nothing wrong. She is the only legal wife of Tiernan, as the court recbrds in Marshalltown have cleared her divorce record, which Mr. Tiernan seems to worry about.” The daughter’s main idea now is to prove to the world that she is the legal wife of Professor Tiernan, Mrs. | Hawn said.

SIX PRISONERS "ESCAPE PEN i (By the Associated Press) | Marquette, Mich., Nov. 28.—Confi- dence that six Marquette prison cor- viets remaining at large would be! | recaptured within a short time was voiced today by Warden J.

The warden was encouraged in that belief, he said, iby the apprehension last night of | {seven of the fugitives who had been! ‘unable to travel more than a few {miles from the prison during their 24 hours of ‘liberty. Two were cap- tured near the prison Sunday night jand the others, it was believed, still were in hiding in or near Marquette. Heavy snow hampered the con victs in their flight and the ap- | proaching winter probably deterred | them from chancing a battle with | | the elements in the north woods in| the opinion of the officials. Efforts to round up the ‘convicts were redoubled today, when it was found the two, rated as the most desperate of the criminals, were still at liberty.

D. BOY. Minneapolis, Nov. 28.—Private Oscar Clauson of Brinsmade, N. D., and formerly of the Twin Cities was to be presented with the Belgian Croix De Geurre by General Pershing here today. Clauson was reached by wire last night and arrived in Minneapolis this morning for the ceremony. Minneapolis, Nov. 28.—An appeal to the nation to “look cold, hard facts in the face and not forget our obligations in the blind hope that we may not again engage in armed con- flict,” marked an address delivered here today by General Pershing un der the auspices of the American De- fense Society. “At present we do not see definite indications, but none of us can tell whether we shall have war in five, ten or twenty years,” General Persh- Ling said. “If we knew now to a cer- ‘tainty that armed conflict would come in 20 years there would be an im mediate demand for. preparations. Yet that is the approximate interval that we have had in the past be- tween major wars. There reason to think that the immediate future will bring about a cessation of war even though it was said that we entered the world war tb bring about the end of war.’ Urges Training Value. General Pershing devoted most o1 his address to discussing the value of military training as a school of good citizenship, making reference in this connection to the findings of the recent educational conference in Washington. The conclusiong. of that conference, hé said, were that the training given in reserve elements of the army and at civilian training camps “constitute an effective ma- . chinery through which much can be done only to benefit the individual from the standpoint of his physique and self-discipline but from the standpoint of his relations to the government that protects him and which he is under obligations to de- fend.” The chief of staff stressed again draft statistics that show 50-per cent of the young men called out during war have been physically sub-nor- mal, largely due to defects curable by proper training, and that one- fourth of the persuns examined were “unable to read and write our com- ‘mon language, and that more than 10 per cent cannot even successfully speak English.” ; Must Face Problem. : “That means,” General Pershing continued, “that some ten million (ot the American people) do not know our tongue. We cannot avoid the conclusion that we are losing our balance and our own self respect un- less we attack the problem vigorous- ly. “I do not suggest military train- ing as a cure for all civic ailments, but I firmly believe it inculcates ideals of honor and duty in our oung men that must constitute a most valuable national asset.” THOUSANDS CHEER Minneapolis, ;Nov. 28.—General John’ J. Pershing—America’s :nili- tary chieftain in war and now i in, peace—invaded Minneapolis today to urge the cause of national defense. Thousands of Minneapolitans lined the streets as he rode up Nicollect avenue to the Auditorium for his chief address, and they sent thunder- ing cheers after him as he passed. He entered the auditorium through a throng that waited outside to catch a glimpse of America’s war leader, and he mounted the platform to be greeted by another volley of cheers, WINTER FAIRS ARE PLANNED Carson, N.
