Here is a picture of the prince in his war-time uniform. « * . * s . * Editor’s Note: When England’s new king, then the Prince of Wales, quit his studies at Oxford to answer the call of the World war, he was eager to go “over the top” in France. Milton Bronner tells about the prince’s war-time career in today’s story, the third of a series of 10 on the life of Great Britain's new monarch. By MILTON BRONNER London, Jan. 24.—When the drums of the World war sounded throughout Europe in August, 1914, and the Prince of Wales left his classes at Oxford to answer the call to the colors, he wanted to rejoin the navy, the force in which he had been trained. Then, for the first time, the heir to the British throne ran up against the objections that were repeated ever afterward when he wanted to see active service. Emphatically it was pointed out to him that England could not run the risk of the -| future king being killed in battle. The prince made the reply that he invariably made when his wishes for active service were turned down: “I have brothers and a sister who could come to the throne.” But then an argument was made to him which appealed to his sense of fair play; it was pointed out to that he be allowed to join the army. He had trained in the Oxford Train- ing Corps for just that very purpose. ‘thim that all the ships of the navy would be subject to attack by Ger- man submarines, but once let it be known that the Prince of Wales was serving as an officer on a British warship, that vessel would at once become the constant target of all attacks. It was unfair to the officers and men of any warship to put them to that special risk. A Real Soldier ‘The prince reluctantly admitted the force of the argument. Then he urged He was thereupon gazetted to the famous Grenadier Guards as a second lieutenant, There were two reactions to this— his own and those of junior officers. The prince knew that “the powers that be” intended to let him merely play at being a soldier. They in- tended to keep him at home on home duties. He determined to move heaven and earth to defeat their plans. The junior officers cynically thought that “Edward P.” would be a parlor sol- VALLEY CITY TRIAL NEARING ITS CLOSE Jury Soon to Get Question of Texas Youth’s Guilt in Murder Case Valley City, N.

Some legislators are demanding that the outlawed processing levies be re-enacted to finance the $440,000,000 soil conservation program. Attorney General Cummins has said that his department and the treasury are “in process” of shaping new tax legisla- tion.

Prince Wanted to ‘Go Over Top’ In War; Was Stopped by Force dier on whom none of ‘is drat arduous duties of a junior officer would de- volve, As & matter of fact he was soon informed that he would be relieved of certain routine duties and of certain routine parades. He at once promptly informed his superior officers that he intended to perform every duty any other junior officer had to perform, It he did not fill these duties, some other chap would have to take them on, and he did not intend piling his own work on somebody else’s shoulders. He Did His Part He did his drills. He spent his fixed time at the firing ranges. He attended all the lectures on practi- cal soldiering. He took his share in Grilling recruits. As picquet officer, he would, when his turn came, turn out early in the morning and at 6 of a gray dawn could be seen gravely inspecting the meat, tea, sugar and other rations and superintending their issue to ra- tioning parties. He took his turn in going from barracks to barracks to. hear any complaints and to investi- gate them. He sweated it out just as any young officer without pull. Then he got busy. He demanded to be sent to the front. Brass hats turned him down. He went to the all-powerful Kitchener himself— Kitchener, the secretary of state for war, and at that time the nation’s hero, for he was performing the miracle of creating a vast army of volunteers. Kitchener's Answer Kitchener gave the prince the old story—that if he went to the front in a line regiment to take his place in the trenches, he might be killed. The prince gave his old reply that he had three brothers and a sister who would be in line for the throne. Then Kitchener gave his other famous objection: “It might be all right if the prince were killed in action, seeing that he desired to be in the fighting. But there is another danger. The prince might be captured by the Germans and held as a hostage, and that would be a most serious thing for England.” But the prince was determined to get to France in some ity. He was finally gazetted on Nov. 17, 1914, as aide de camp to General French, commander of the famous British Expeditionary Force, which bore the brunt of afl the savage fighting in Belgium and northern France during the famous first retreat’ before the}, German forces. The prince was at- tached successively to army corps, divisional and brigade headquarters. and was frequently ‘a dispatch rider. He drove his own big steel car and. was frequently under fire. Prevented by Force It is authentically stated that once he was in the trenches at one point and wanted to go over the top with the men, but was actually preventea by force from carrying out his in- tention. He was liaison officer during the famous battle of Neuve Chapelle anc carried the dispat concerning that struggle to Lond It seems to be historically true that his superior officers had a hard time keeping him out of the firing lines, ‘but on many occasions, nevertheless, he was in the danger zone.

Paul, Jan, 24.—(#)—The case of three men charged with conspiracy in the $200,000 Edward G. Bremer kid- naping was given to a federal court jury at 12:47 p. m. Friday. Denial that Cassius McDonald, De- troit engineer, knew he was exchang- ing Bremer ranson money was made by his counsel, Everett Jennings of Chicago, in his final argument in the trial of McDonald and two others as conspirators in the abduction. Jennings Harry Sawyer and William Weaver. Eugene O'Sullivan of Omaha, of counsel for Sawyer, former St. Paul bootlegger, took up Thursday after- noon’s court session, with a plea for his client. Urging acquittal for Saw- yer, O'Sullivan told the jury that the only evidence against him ‘was that Sawyer had associated with some of the men who committed the kid- naping. “You can’t send a man to prison for the people he knew,” said O’Sul- livan. The penalty for conviction ts up to life imprisonment in a federal peni- tentiary. Sawyer was accused of be- ing the “fingerman” who pointed out Bremer to members of the Karpis- Barker gang when the banker was seized here Jan. 17, 1934. Weaver was named as one of the actual abductors, and McDonald, a Detroit engineer, was charged with being a money changer who helped exchange some of the $200,000 in currency paid for Bremer’s release Feb. 7, 1934. SALVATION ARMY 0 ASSIST TRANSIENTS Will Resume Work Done Before Government Entered—and Left—Field Care of transients passing through Bismarck and needing help has been assumed by the Salvation Army and will be in charge of the organization's local officers, it was revealed Friday following a meeting Thursday of the Saivation Army’s board of directors. Counseling with and advising the active workers will be a committee composed of F, H. Waldo, chairman; H. P. Goddard and L. K. Thompson. Frank Milhollan and Iver Acker were elected to membership on the board of directors, along with Mrs. F. A. Lahr, elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs. L. B. Sowles. Mrs. Sowles was’ voted an associate member at large. Acker is a former president of the board, having served in that capacity during ® previous residence in the city. The Salvation Army has reoccupied its former quarters on West Main Ave., which were used as a hospital for transients during government activ- ity in that service. It will be remod- eled for feeding and housing the tran- sients who apply for help. Adjutant Herbert Smith said as many at 32 have come in one day. Since August -1, when the government stopped nelping transients, 604 have been assisted, he said. Figures by months were: Sep- tember 73; October 132; November 139 and December 260.

As was to be expected, Herman Peters in the role of Daniel Gilchrist, the young minister with Christ's vis- jon of practicing the Golden Rule in a selfish world, capped his previous in- terpretations that has marked him as North Dakota's most finished actor. Peters mirrored with Power the working of those passions in the mastery of which man comes closest to emulating the ideal life the Christ preached. There was breadth and depth to his portrayal, a reson- ant characterization that carried his ince and genius across the foot- ts, Surprises f) to the audience was the effective work of Ted Campagna as Umanski, who symbolized the ignor- ance of the immigrant laborer with the ambition of forging a better role in the society of life. Camy bolstered and ably abetted Peters’ dif- ficult task of maintaining the sus- pense of the production. Louise Sween as Clare Jewett and Marian Lichtenstein as Mary Mar- garet played their roles so naturally that they preserved throughout the four acts the true character of their parts. Anita Cram Peterson was effective as Mrs. Henry Gilliam, but doubling in brass and portraying Mrs. Mulligan, gin-soused derelict of New Rha ks streets, she came near stealing the climactic scene in which the miracle of healing worked. Scheming ambition, conjugal jeal- ousy, unbridled passion, class strife, moral infirmities all were brought tee hae to the fore as character limned the background hams, L. H. Belk as Charlie Bene- field, 'Kenneth Lauster as George F. Goodkind, Ernest Elness as Max Stedtman and again as Tony Mal- ducca, displayed versatility. From supporting cast down through the supers, the Players evidenced the hard work they have done to give Bis- marck as near a perfect production as it is possible for amateurs to do. Elsie Peters, Evelyn Dada, Laurence V. Nelson, Lois Lynch, Avery Eppler, Arthur Cram, Chester Perry, Bud » Harrison Diehl and Evelyn Quill showed genuine interest in adding the subtle touchs so necessary to limelighting the principals. Eppler, Fisher and Miss Rigler in particular were cast in roles that might easily be transcendant in a play In Pollock’s Play Larson drew the plaudits of an admir- ing audience. “The Fool” is well worthwhile at- tending. It will make any Bismarck citisen proud. Slope Weddings Gottschall-Schock Miss Molly Gottschall, daughter of Schock, J. Schock, Benedict, Dec. 2, in a ceremony read in the Gottschall home by Rev.
