EVENTS OF A WEEK
One week
Vt
On the eve of his return to the United States from
Europe President Wilson, in surveying the work done at
raris and Versailles, makes it cl«ar that he thinks the
.• world will benefit from the fact that the negotiations inci
dent to the return of peace have been so prolonged. Mr.
Wilson feels that because of this, nations have found an
opportunity to be drawn closer together than ever before,
and that the intensity of mutual understanding and inter
national amity has greatly increased. The President still
persists in his view that the United States Senate should
ratify the peace treaty without any amendments In regard
to the League of Nations covenant..
In the latter part of the week information was spread
broadcast over the world that the former German crown
prince U&d returned 19 Germany from Holland, and it was
thought in some quarters this might be in connection with
some military plans to regain power for the defunct
Hohenzollerns. According to the officially announced
results of an investigation made by the Dutch govern-^
ment, the former crown prince has not, however, left the
territory of Holland. Rumors are on foot that the ex
kaiser may be contemplating a return to' Germany, but
they seem to be without foundation.
After reaching a bloody climax, the general and.
sympathy strike in Winnipeg which has been paralyzing
the life of the city for more than a month, wasjinally
called off on Thursday, and judging from the information
on hand it looks as though the results have
gether too insignificant *rhen compared to the trouble the
Strike had caused. Altogether, the ^Winnipeg disturbance
has not decreased the general contempt for the sympathy
strike as a weapon of organized labor.
Last Sunday the city of Fergus Falls, Minn., was part
destroyed by a tornado,,and many people were killed
while a large number of buildings were destroyed. The
|*tate authorities of Minnesota extended immediate and
5 effective aid and order was soon established in the city.
,: The property loss caused by the tornado will amount to
•4 millions of dollars, but the citizens indicate..that Fergus
v'Falls will make swift efforts to rebuild on a larger scale
'than ever before. This is the third time within a year
that Minnesota has had to cope with a ser^pus situation
.• brought about by the violence of nature: jn July of last
year the town of Tyler was almost completely wrecked by
p. cyclone, and in the fall a series of forest fires in the
northeastern part of the state caused untold suffering and
(immense destruction of property.
ty On Thursday a referendum election was held in North
_fDakota «pr thTpurpose of affording the cltipens an op
portunity to accept or reject the printing bill, the educa
tional bill, the tax commission, immigration, industrial
ifOpmiission, judicial district and .state -bank bills passed
the last session of the state legislature. On the face of
(Returns reported Saturday forenoon it looks as though the
I Nonpartisan 'faction favoring the popular ratification
i«C its Socialists legislation has been able to muster
I"*4- a comparatively small majority, and returnj^at the
of this writiihg would indicate that the*"&onpartlsan

sense at the crucial moment triumphed, for the national
assembly last Sunday voted in favor of authorizing the
delegates of the German republic to affix their signatures
to the momentous peace Meaty. Some difficulties were
encountered in regard to the composition of the delega
tion, but the matter was finally adjusted when the Allied
and associated plenipotentiaries in Versailles made it
plain that they would tolerate no further delays. The time
for signing the document was definitely set at 3 o'clock in
•he afternoon, June 28—Ave years after the assassination
of the Austrian crown prince.
Peace has come back, but conditions will not im
mediately become quite normal. Commercial and dipt
matic intercourse between the former enemies of Ger
many and that country will be gradually resumed, but it
is not thought that diplomatic representatives of the ilr6t
rank will be appointed at once. Undoubtedly, Germany
will send a charge d'affairs to Washington in the ne&r
future, and the United States will be represented in Bfilin
by a similar official, ambassadors not being appointed
until thte peace treaty has-been ratified by the various/par
liamentary bodies involved. Consuls, it is understood, will
be stationed at important posts almost without delay so as

and the professor exchange had come b» v» end already
before the outbreak of the world war.
Something new has, however, taken Its pi*^: A
few years ago the American-Scandinavian Foundation
adopted a policy which^made it posslbltf^for a certain,
number of qual^ied young men to obtain a scholarship
enabling, for Instance, .Scandinavians to study in" this
country, and Americans to pursue their studied at some
Scandinavian university or polytechnical Institute.
As the experiment has unfolded itself, it has proved
a decided success, and inspired by it a group ot Ameri
cans and Swedes have established a fund In connection
with that of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, by
which it will be possible to send ten AmercWne to Sweden
and ten Swedes to the United StatesN for the purpose of
study every year.

How artistically symmetric History is: On the very
day that marks the fifth anniversary of the assassination
of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the world war
of wnlch this murder was, in a measure, a causc, comes
officially to an end.
And a five-year period like this the world has never
seen! It must be fervently hoped that it will not see
the Ilk? of it ag^g, for of all epochs in the annals of
mankind this surely has been the most tragic, the most,
fateful, the most sorrowful.
Superficially speaking, the shot that was fired five
years ago today was said to have caused the war. Of
course', this is not the fact, for the assassination of the
Austrian crown prince and his consort was merely an ac
cident which was destined to play the part of the "re
lease" in the immense machinery of the world. The caus
es lie much deeper, are- far remoter and can be traced back
to the diplomacy of earlier centuries.
•There are times when it is impossible to point to
first causes. In respect to the great war, no one can
Claim knowledge of the original reason for all the incom
prehensible destruction that has been wrought.' So while
this is true, it is possible only to emphasize the* immedi
ate c%use, an8. that has been drastically and unforget
tably-illustrated in the ultimatum which the Austro-Hun
jgarlan government dispatched to Serbia in tin attempt to
bully that little nation. Of the note the British Blue
Book says that it was so drawn up as to make war inev
itable, and Maximilian Hardeji wrote on August 1, 1914,
that "in the Viennese note to Serbia, wJios ebrazen arro
gance has no precedent
Exchange of Intel-
^ine*.
THE END OF AN EPOCH
in history, each phrase bears
witness that Austria-Hungary desires war."
Whatever queer c&mbinationthe play of intermingled
causes presents, and whatever views may be held as to
their reality, there can be only one opinion about the ef
fects. They have been so obvious that all the lands of
the earth have been taught a lesson which will be re-:
memJ^ered for centuries to come.
Down in the dust lie the aggressors, abject, humili
ated, their former pride gone, their punishment weighing
heavily upon them, and their powerfulness reduced to an
absolute minimum. No more.can th£ haughty militaris
tic nations of Central Europe cause international Con
flicts for the mere reason that there is no "place in the
sun" to seek. Doomsday has come—and today, five years
after the beginning of the greatest of all crimes, the de-'
cree of the sentence will be sigped.
Those who?je blood boiled ty wrath in 1914 when the
Teuton government harassed smaller nations, will realize
today that even though they may have doubted, %ven
though they had lost all faith—Justice still reigns su
preme, and there is no way—no way whatsoever—to es
cape from its gifip.
The epoch which ends today has shown us that al
though the red mists of war for a time may hide the sun
of mankind's noblest idealism, they will be carried away,
the sun's rays will pierce the mists—and Eventually heal
the wounds inflictejl upon all the hearts of humanity.
A SURPRISING PHENOMENON
Thursday's referendum election indicated that tke
citizens of Grand Forks seemingly do not care much for
the welfare of their state, for only about fifteen hundred AfterVtime"!'^ rur&hls eyes
votes were cast in the eleven precincts of the city. This
is a low-water mark which quite naturally prompts the
question whether or not a majority of the local voters are
wholly indifferent to the vital issues of the day.
They cam plead no ignorance of what was at stake.
Newspapers

called attention to the importance of the matters upon
which the people had to decide, aad at numerous .meet
ings and rallies speakers have emphasized the essential
facts—or, sometimes, merely alleged facts—back of .the
problems which were inviting attention.
Whatever the flnalv result may be, it ia humiliating to
think of the amazing lack ofTinterest shown here in an
Election which^carried with it more real importance {ban
any other election for years has done. Some may have

But the limousine had glided into
the forest belt, and was gone.
In the mist-hlled greyness of early
morning, the white lights of a motor
car flared down the one street of Rio
Nabuco. Up to the prison the car
rolled and stopped. The chauffeur
sprang down to open the^door. Still
drowsy and yawning, the jailer ap
peared, peering at toe visitors.
"Hurry, head of a cocoanut!" ad
jured the' chauffeur.
"Who now?" grumbled Manuel.
"More prisoners come like fine gen
tlemen, eh!"
The words died off^his lips as the
occupant of the ,car.
stepped out. Grey
eye% in a dark face not easily for
gotten—Manuel fell back, bending
double.
"You have here the former prison
er. Corey Bruce?" Noel asked. His
fool, measured assurance betrayed no
trace of hit inward doubt.
Manuel's answer was prompt and
servile.
"As your Excellency d,elgned to
comman^! In solitude! I assure
your worship has been obeyed."
Noel drew a deep breath. Seeing
the expression darkening over his
face. Manuel retreated a step, wait
ins. Ho oxpected nothing less than
an order to have the prisoner instant
ly shot.
"I assure your worship we have
htm safe," he mumbled. "Quite soli
tary!"
"Take me to/him."
Cowed, the' jailer lifted the light
still necessary in the darkened in
terior of the .building. As they en
tered, the fetid air, hot and foul, rush
ed out to meet them.
Light in the corridor, so unusual a
phenomenon here, aroused Corey
Bruce from sleep. He sat up on his
cot. shivering with weakness and
chill, in his awakening he was so
confused as. to conceive this part of.
the night before, wh?n he had fainted
and Manuel helped him ,back on his
cot out of a unique impulse of nity
which astonished them both. Then
his dazzled eyes perceived a man be.
1
side the jailer, a man in spotless at- when he publicly falls, I think
111 nM1«M
tire whose face was in shadow. Bruce
leaned froward, clutching at the edge
of the cot on which he sat. For the
moment he even forgot that his old
enemy had been hung.
"You—you, Meyer!" he stammered,
rising. "if you come in I'll—Pll
strangle you. I'll not open it for you.
I'll give you nothing. Do you hear?
I'll not!"
The visitor advanced quickly past
Manuel, 'n time to" catch and steady
Bruce as the captive staggered foa»
ward, brown eyes flaming through
his spectacles.
"It is rapt Meyer," said David Noel.
But I promise you shall strangle
him for this, Bruce."
Bruce said nothing at all. Grasp
ing Noel's arm, he shut his eyes.
Benito, gliding past the staring jailer,
offered a silver-flask and a cup which
he filled as he came. The stimulant
acted upon the weakened man with
the magical promptness of an elixir,
as Noel fed it to him.
"No talking until1 you are out of
here," he forbade Bruce's speech.
"You—you're taking me back
"Home, naturally."
In the old fourtyard with the stone
basin, Benito took charge of his
patient's toilet with swift efficiency,
clothing him in the garments Xhey
had brought witK them on th© journey
of vague hope. Bright morning
blazed across the village In the forest
as Bruce issued from the prison door,
leaning on Noel's arm.
The chauffeur, concerned and eager,
sprang to aid the "gentlemen's entry
into the limousine.
"I am glad to see the Senhor
Bruce," he ventured respectfully.
"We all are, 1 Felipe," Noel answer
ed for his companion. "Drive gently,
Senhor Bruce is still weak. Give me
that flask, Benito."
Bruce lay back on *tfie cushions for
the first mile, in.silence. The defer
ence of the servants,. Noel's attitude,
all told him that Meyer's slander had
somehow failed. He did not under
stand, but he v.was content. Noel
to the other eyes not less gentle, but
with the quality of his 'glance strong
as forged metal.
"He did not get me," he said.
"Meyer?" /.
"Yes. He pnt me back in Rio Na
buco. but he got nothing."
"He threatened you with return
there?"
"And—did it!"
"Bruce, can you forgive Nilo Val
dez a fault for which he will never
forgive himself When he learns of
this, I believe you may pity him."
"1—I could forgive Nilo anything."
"I hope so. This is the paper I teld
him to give you the day before, we
went away. By mistake, he gave you
another."
Wonderingta Bruce took the blue
envelope Noel 'offered, and opened It.

"He did not want me," sighed' Nilo

"If Senhor Ferraz w«re here, he
would say, thai in his day Meyer'
would have disappeared," ,• remarked.
Nilo Valdez.
HS spoke with less than his usual
nerve. He had a subdued mien al
together, and his dark eyes turned
frequently to Corey Bruce with dis
tressed solicitude. The four men sat
after, dinner, around the tattle, the
seOsnd night since Bruce had beeft
brought home.
"I Wish he might-r-into Rio Nabu
co,"growled Graaadbs.
"There ^re wdne places than Rio
Nabuco," Bruce spoke hastily, with a
reassuring glance at Nilo. "I"—he
colored with the elitort of breaking his
habitual reserve, yet compelled him
self to the statement that hrt&ht les
sen his friend's self-reproach "I am
almost glad—since it is over—to have
found out the thing wa£ a sort of
bugbear. I mean, that it could be
faced down."
Nilo looked down at his plate. Noel
and Granados exchanged a glance.
"When I found Bfuce, day before
yesterday, I made him a. promise,"
Noel presently spoke. "I did not
make it rashly, or** without delibera
tion. Jacinto Meyer has been- cau
tions, indeed. I do not say that he
could not have Jeen disposed of, but
not With, perfect fairness. And we
could- afford to be fair. While a
brutal Imperialism is a bad cause to
perve, while stealthy propaganda to
subjugate a country, affording its hos
pitality is a. disgucrting service, Jacin
to' Meyfer did serv^his own cause and
country'with a sort of loyalty. He is
our enemy we fought and lost.
Good! Let it p'ass as war* I know,
Oil." as Granadqs would have inter
rupted, "but let it so pass. He would
have been deported as an undesirable

Bruce, what 1 maant when I prom

"But, but can stammered
Bruce.
"Certainly. He had no more, right
to put you in Rio Nabuco than lie had
to put me there, or Nilo."
"I think he did not know of the
pardon."
"That may have^-been so when he
took you td-the prison. But he found
out afterward for ne never tried to
carry out his threats against your
reputation. Instead, he carefully
concealed what had become of you.'
He made anpther mistake. He visit
ed the prison and tried to bring you
to submission a second time, and the
jailer Manuel overheard him. Meyer
is lost. The police are looking for
him now. Yes," at a general move
ment of surprise, "I have attended to
that. I believe that last night will
be the last time you will see him at
the play, my dear Gil, at least, for
many years."
"I hope so," said Granados.
"Amen,'' a'greed Nilo vigorously.
Corey Bruce said nothing. He was1
profoundly moved by the tfctidn Noel!
had taken with-such promptness1. He
was not hypocrite enough to pretend
a pity for his enemy which he did not
leel. But he was well enough drilled
irt conventional morality to be shock
ed, and even appeared, at the tHrill of!
satisfaction whiclf had shaken him.
He was too A^iglo-Saxon to enjoy
without remorse the luxury of ven
geance as could Granados and Nilo
Valdez. Yet he knew that he would
stand in court opposite Jacinto Meyer
and give deliberately the evidence to
convict the man. He was assured that
he would feel no relenting. There
was in him an/acrid Scotch strain that
might have lain in abeyance all his
life, had not long suffering and in
jury brought it. to the surface. He
knew what he would do. But.he was
sorely dismayed to realize 'that he
wanted to do it. And with that reali
zation, his conscience sprang up to
forbid him the pagan joy of revenge
under the/ guise of justicer
The other men watched him, while
the course before ^.hem was removed
from the table and succefcde4-by sil

fragile that the wine Pedro poured
appeared to floattJlke a copper bubble
at each place rather than £0 be up

amused Granados and Nilo, who fan
cied they understood it and were in
cordiaK.sympatfyr with his satisfac
tion. Noel, fho really understood his
countryman,, sat In cool readiness to
combat Bruce's arguments should he
urge forbearance for his enemy.
Bruce offered no such argument.
His silence continued so long that his
.companions turtMd from regard of
him to glance at on* another. Nilo's
lips, parted in a smile, he leaned to
aim some raillery at his friend, when
Bruce finally spoke.
"Marshal," he said'in his gentle,
hesitant voice, his brown eyes, shel
tered behind the heavy lenses, gulng
across the room, "Marshal, you al

no outcry or disturbance. Nilo VaJ
dez's smile left hie lips, but* he rfW.
not "move. Noel's face remained Im
passive. Granados laid down hie
cigar, moving with admirable com
posure and lack of haste.. When he
turned his eyes toward*1 Bruce,- their
meaning was signified without excite
ment.
Bruce turned that way "With an
awkward gesture as if 1 about to
speak, and his cuff swept bis glass
from before him. The delicate crystal
shattered at first touch, spelling the
wine across th^ damask. His right

Bruce stooped to recover his falling
napkin, uttering an exclamation of
dismay.
The other men fsaW his left hand
emerge from beiieath the cloth grasp
ing the napkin.. Then, without rising,
he wheeled a:bout in his chair and
emptied the automatic towards the
window behind Mim.
The patter of the shots was broken
midday by a crashing fall outside* As
the other men.sprang up, Bruce toy
the blazing napkin from about the re
volver and crushed out the flame up
on the floor.
"Corey?" Nilo Valdez cried.
Bruce turned his sober face to them
all.,
"The—the last time," he stammered
apologetically. "I—I talked to Meyer
a^little too, long."
The, servants who had sprung to
•obey Noel's command were already
beyond the window, uttering guttural
ejaculations.. Granados walked over
and looked down at the^group.
"Between the eyes," Tie observed,
"his time was short enough, my dear
Bruce."
"But how—why—" Nilo marvelled.
Bruce looked toward Noel.

The more that is heard of the plans
and personnel of the American
ion.vthe organization of soldiers who
the jailer of Rio Nabuco ^fought in the great war, the more
general the popular approval. Its
leaders seem to be gui.ded by sound
common sense. One feature that
stands out is its sturdy democracy.
This was shown at the inital meeting
in St. Louis. No ^distinctions were
drawn between those who had been
officers and those who had served as
privates in the ranks. The differences
that were necessary, and so recog.
nized, during tho period of active ser
vice. were promptly cast aside when
these men met in civil life. Now
comes word that tl^e executive com
mittee of the Legion will "recommend
to tfie forthcoming national contfen
tiort at Minneapolis the disuse^Sf all
military titles in referring to officials
of the order.
-,It
is the purpose of the
American Legion," says Henry D.
Lindse'y, "not only to cease using mili
tary titles in the records and pro
ceedings of the national organisation,
but to foster the same action on the
part of State branches and local posts
which are now being formed through
ouf the country. -Furthermore, the'
oustom handed ddwn from the Clvii
War of preserving an officer's miWtary
rank after he had. returned to civil
life .will be discoui^aiged.",
That last remark indicates a
radical departure from American
customs.. hut a wholesome one. It
will tend also to discourage the rep
rehensible habit of attaching military
titles to persons who never/ had. the
slightest claim to them. One is re-
