three million men.

VICIOUS PISTOL I
DUE AT FARGO
DURING ARREST
John Cole Shoots Officer
During Arrest for Alleged
Bootlegging.
Fargo, N. D., Feb. 17.—Three men
were Vounded in ,a sensational pistol
battle here Saturday night when the
police arrested John Cole just after
he is alleged to have sold two bottles
rof
beer. Twenty shots were fired in
the fray htat took place in the alley
at the rea$ of the Orpheum theater.
Cole is in the city jail charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon. He
was first placed under arres" by
Welsh and Wltclk of the police
force. The officers started to take
him to the Btation when suddenly he
pulled a revolver and commanded
them to throw up their hands. Welsh
closed with Cole just as he fired.
The shot went above Welsh's head
through the back door of the Orpheum
theater just over the heads of the
audience. Welsh pulled Cole's arm
down and a second shot took effect
In the policeman's leg.
Cole then broke away and a pistol
duel ensued until all three had
emptied their guns. Meanwhile Cap
tain McDonald of the police force
came up behind Cole just as Welsh
started for him with his reloadod re
volver. Captain McDonald took
Cole's gun from him and hit him with
flower of the German army, Branden- the butt, subduing him so that ho
bers and the crown prince's Huzzars was taken to the police station with
no further trouble.
Captain McDonald incurred a scalp
wound while disarming Cole.
Mandan Commission
Plans A White Way
Mandan, N. D., Feb. 17.—Petitions
are being presented to the city com
mission for the Installation of a white
way. The city engineer has been in
structed to prepare plans and estim
ates for such a system of lighting on
all streets in the paved district and
some of the connecting streets.
Many cities arc now installing sys
tems with one sinerle light post with
strong lighting power and a double
switch connection which makes it
possible to have only the corner lights
going when desirable. A rough est
imate puts the cost at about $60 a
fifty foot lot.
As soon as plans and estimates are
complete, citizens of Mandan will be
given an opportunity to express them
selves on the project.
Germany's View
Of Irish Situation
London, England—Irish home rule,
and the formation of the new Center
Party were discussed on Wednesday
by General Sir Hubert Goueh, who is
hopeful that the compromise arrived
at in the party's program will bear
fruit in an early settlement of Irish
affairs. Fresh from the unifying in
fluence of the hardships of the front,
shared in common with other Irish
men of varying political creeds, Ire
land* is in need at present of two vital
and urgent necessities to peace. One
is education the other is political
responsibility.
Ireland in the former matter, he
holds, does not bear comparison with
England, Scotland, Canada, or Aus
tralia. and he deplores the fact that
the education acts passed at West
minster have no more been applied
to Ireland than the military service
acts were. Given an. improved stand
ard of education, which he is himself
interested in, he firmly believes that
the evils which follow in the train of
ignorance will speedily disappear from
Irish affairs, and Irishmen will auto
matically become more fitted to un
dertake the second thing they lack,
namly, political responsibility.
Ireland needs self-government in
the general's Opinion, to steady her
self. She is not a down-trodden coun
try as the propagandists have
preached, but she has undoubtedly
been sadly and stupidly mismanaged,
and the fact has been taken advan
tage of by ill-balanced extremists,
who have no other outlet than the
wildcat schemes they have put for
ward. Therefore, says the general,
we must have self-government.
Once that is established and the re
sponsibility of governing themselves
is undertaken by the Irish people,
extremism will disappear, for it can
not survive practical tests.
The great argument for self-govern
ment in addition to the above, the
general considers, is that the greater
part of the country desires it. That
fact constituted the right to have self
government in order' to be in har
mony with the Ideas of liberty for
which the war had taken place dur
ing the last four years. Just in the
same way, although avowedly no vio
lent partisan of Ulster, he considered
that that part of Ireland had an equal
right not. to be coerced, and it was
in this admission of rights that the
Center party had its foundation.
While claiming self-government,
however, the general held that the
majority of Ireland did not desire
separation.. She was a part of the
British empire and her men had
fought alongside other parts of it. She
should, therefore, have self-govern
ment on federal lines, subject to the
imperial parliament in certain mat
ters concerning the whole empire and
permitting local provincial self-gov
ernment within her own borders. This
plan he considered should meet the
objections of meter and would avoid
the evils of partition under a home
rule scheme. Partition, in his opin
ion, would result in an impenetrable
wall being built between Ulster and
the rest of Ireland. In Irish affairs,
he continued, everybody tried to get
what they wanted by over-statement
of their case, as a rule. The Center
party proposed to a,djust these extreme
claims and strike' these a mean be
tween them. General Gough did not
see any reaaon for thinking the posi
tion recently taken up by Lord Midle
ton in resigning from the Unionist al
liance was incompatible with the pro
gram of the Center party.
If only national self-government
were obUtfn.ed, the people themselves
would settle the vexed question of
schools, continued the general, and
would also deal with the extremists.
The'Irishman outside qt Ireland
•howed. himself, perfectly capable ot
managing his affairs but in Ireland,
not being allowed to manage them,
he'became restless. The proof of his
capacity to govern Would depend upon
himself, an«f It would be found that
the ShHi Fein -element would be
scotched: tor Ireland was undoubted
ly more prosperous than ever she
had been before, and Irishmen. did
not want to see that'prosperity lost
by mistake.

Center party, desired a new confer
ence as soon as possible. The last
conference arrived at nothing be
cause its terms of reference were not
defined and all sorts of improbable
schemes had' been discussed and a
thorough air of unreality given to the
proeeedlhgs. An Important point was
that in any scheme of settlement for
Ireland the initiative must come from
the Irish and'not from outside influ
ences.
On-the question whether the Sinn
Fein would sweep the election for the
bodies he had mentioned, the general
said he thought proportional repre
sentation would largely prevent Uiat,
and as for the rest the increasing re
sponsibility would enable the native
good sense of moderate Irishmen to
reassert Itself.—Christian Science
