The workers have their unions which, until Lloyd- George's recent proposals, had no !e- Ral way of expressing their grievance. The owners of the munitions factories representor! a dictatorship, a benevo- lent dictatorship, possibly, but still a dictatorship. I'p to the present no machinery for settling disputes was invented, tf the men did not liko their wages or the conditions of work, they could strike, or sr-nk oth»r jobs, it happened in tlii<- crisis that they were not pleased with their situation and. incidentally. both tien^rsl Kitchener and Lloyd- Georg" h ivo sta'^rl thai some at least of the men's sn-ievanres were genuine evils It has be"n intimated, with what truth fan'i be said, that the owners were making too great profits from the nation's need and that I!i-* work- ers were gettinc too little in view of the cost of livins. Th» creat public, albeit, has had an interest m the manufacture of muni- of American citizens were destroyed or menaced. If Germany can And a way to use the submarine without subjecting the innocent and defenseless, and especi- ally those of our own nation, to these risks, the result will be eminently sat- isfactory to this nation. It is assumed that the tone of the German note will be substantially along the lines indicated by Mr. Ger- ard. He would not have cabled this information unless he had something substantial on which to base It. It is apparent, therefore, that something has brought about a decided change in the German attitude, and that the protests of this nation are not to be met with indifference or defiance. TAXING CHURCH PROPERTY. The New York constitutional con- vention is discussing the propriety of making provision in the new constitu- tion for the taxation of church prop- erty, and. ns usual in such cases, there is a wide difference of opinion. Those who are in favor of the pro- posed change argue that the separa- tion between church and state should be complete and absolute, and that the state should not. contribute, even indirectly, to the support of a relig- ious organization by relieving it of any portion of the burden of taxation which would fall upon it if its proper- ty were used for business purposes. It is maintained that by relieving it of taxation the state does, in actual prac- tice, contribute to the maintenance of the church, because if church proper- ty is not taxed, all other property must be taxed at. a higher rate in or- der to make up the deficiency. Those who hold the opposition opin- ion maintain that while exemption from taxation does give the church some financial assistance at the ex- pense of the state in general, the cost to the privato citizen is so small as to be negligible, while the church con- fers real and substantial benefits on the community far out of proportion to the taxes of which it is relieved. This, according to the view of those ecvocatcs, ie entirely apart from the ti"nt more proving vastly than the i "hiraeo publi.imprest in a street | Immediate benefits which the church car svstem. <"onseimently.

SPm which visited the western :the state on 1'nday night, eled slowly across the state M?i i "• i : >1 ; f a confers on its members. The church, it is pointed out, is a desirable feature in a neighborhood, in large cities cre- sting a welcome break in the contin- uity of business or residence districts, and exercising, in no small way, in large or small places, a very appreci- able moral influence on its neighbor- hood. For reasons of. this kind it is held that so long as the church de- ri\es no revenue for its own invest- ment in its property, it should not be required to contribute to the general Public funds. •»n the whole, the opponents of the cbar.se seem to have the better side • •f the argument. The exemption of church property now in vogue In New York does not extend to the revenue- pfodnctng property which the church m.iv own. and the New York practice U the common and correct one. Many churches own vast quantities of valu- able property which have been acquir- e- 1 . in various ways. The revenues from this property are expended in church activities, but they are not and oiin'it not, on that account, to be ex- empt. Rental property owned by a church ought to be taxed, even though the proceeds are devoted to religious c.r charitable purposes, just as the same property would be taxed if own- ed by a private individual, even though the income derived therefrom were expended in similar ways. But there is a valid reason fox the ex- emption of property which produces no revenue, and which is used exclu- sively for religious purposes. the the The part and until irossed the Rsd river on Saturday rnoon, followed by still other rains "Sunday, deposited an enormous plum® of water, averaging probably ejose to three inches The Grand : ks wheather station reports a pre- | tation of 2.65 inches during the | days, while in some sections the I reached more than three inches } ivers everywhere are swollen, and 1 e damage is reported along the!

After Monday's drying air and sunshine nothing of the sort could he found cvr«pt in occasional low spot of gumbo. The soil had soaked up the water like a sponge. and the surface was left in such con- dition that roads were in good condi- tion by noon, and gardens and fields of corn and potatoes were ready for j ern engines of war, and the cost of the cultivator. {operation would be so great that no One result of the rains will be to j nation would be able to stand the pace place In the sreat reservoir just below-! for more than half a year.

AYhen the war broke out eleven months ago there were all sorts of predictions as to its duration. The popular guesses ran usually from 30 days to six months. The theory was that the havoc wrought by the mod- Oil topctfbe world. Ml As. GERMANY'S ANSWER. FAVOR- ABLE?

A«k tor w fietimt (sldar, "A Colorado Sommer," . cans are more closely in touch with sentiment In Great Britain than in the continental countries. Communication with Germany and Austria has been interrupted, but even with perfect freedom of intercourse with France and Russia the American public has learned comparatively little of what is believed and expected in those coun- tries. Th© newspapers, and through a grreat volume of personal correspond- ence, we have learned much of British opinion. And It has been clearly shown that the British authorities have no Illusions as to the duration of the war. At the very outset Lord Kitchener Insisted that it was neces- sary to prepare for a war of at least three years' duration. Other British authorities have expressed the same opinion. They have not undertaken to predict that the war would last three years, or that it might not last longer, but they have insisted that it would be folly to prepare for anything less than a long, costly and bloody war' which would tax to their utmost the resources of the empire. The war has been in progress elev- en months, and there Is not visible anywhere a condition which points even remotely in the direction of peace. Germany's enormous standing army, organized and trained until it was the last word in efficiency, gave her a tremendous advantage. Her years of planning and labor to pro- vide an aboundant supply of arms, ammunition and supplies of every kind have continued the advantage in her favor, and the Russians are just, now experiencing the results of the disparity in equipment between the two armies. Various German writefrs say that Germany can continue to supply her forces at the present rate for months, or years, or indefinitely. The facilities of the other nations for the production of munitions have scarcely been touched. In spite of all that has occurred, there Is every rea- son to believe that this war is not more than well started. INCINERATION VS. INHUMATION. New York Times: Antagonism h£8 developed in France, it seems to the use of fire as a means of hastening the inevitable resolution into their el- ements of the untenanted bodies that now cumber the country's once smil- ing fields in such enormous numbers. Tt also seems that the antagonism may have a purpose other than to prevent the doptlon of a device in many ways certainly commendable. According to report, the object of the "movement" is to divert attention from the statements about the war recently ascribed to the pope, and to start-the French people talking of something else. This theory has a rather fanciful air, and it would be more plausible if there were more chances of thus obtaining the result supposed to be sought. It is true, however, that to many minds the in- cineration or cremation of the dead is a highly objectionable substitute for inhumation. Probably this is because earth bur- ial is so familiar that, we do not have to think about its consequences, while the shrinking of all who are alive from the pain that fire, inflicts—per- haps the worst of agonies—makes ob- noxious the thought of applying this agent even to those who can no longer feel It. In other days there w«re other ar- guments against cremation, but f«w if any would now put them forward with any seriousness. From the standpoint of the sanitarian and the economist, the relative merits of the two methods of disposal were settled long ago, and the contest is kept up only by senti- ment. TRANSIENT HURT ON FREIGHT TRAIN Casselton, N. D., June 29.—Geo. Phillips, a transient who was making his way eaet on a freight, train met with a very serious accident in the eaet yards here. He had been in a car of lumber, had climbed out and was between cars when the train halt- ed. Phillips* head was caught be- tween the running board of one car and the end of the next, and he drop- ped instantly. A brakeman chanced to be above and jumping down drag- ged the Injured man clear of the wheels. He was taken in an auto to the jail and cared for by local officers, but was injured so badly that blood came from his mouth and ears. It is thought that his skull was cracked- He suffered intensely until relieved by a physician. He was taken to the county hospital. Phillips is 30 years of age and his home is in Kansas. DETECTIVES ARREST TWO BEER THIEVES Hazen. N.

It is asserted a considerable party participated In the consumption of the beer. The two men were -fined $85 «ach, sentenced to thirty days in Ja,il, and to pay costs amounting to $67 each. WOOL MERCHANT IS IN DICKINSON Diekineon, N. 3D., June 28.—Jamea Bateman of Bateman & Co., the large 'Philadelphia wool commission house, was a business visitor In" Dickinson, coming in from Montana, where he has been taking large consignments for his house the past few weeks.

June 29.—The tenth annual encampment of the North Dakota Methodist camp meet- ing association at Jamestown yester- day, after "one of the most successful meeting in the history of the associa- tion. Sunday's meetings, morning, af- ternoon and evening, were enthusi- astic in the extreme and the leaders report a larger response to the invi- tations to come forward than ever be- fore. The tabernacle was crowded and many rows of rapt listeners stood around the outside to hear the ser- mons. Rev. McLaughlin of the Oska- loosa, Iowa, HolinesR school preached in t.he morning. In the afternoon the sermon was given by Dr. Taylor, the returned missionary from South America, and in the evening, Rev. Guy Wilson, the young evangelist of Chicago, preached the closing sermon. Attendance was the largest during the ten years. Two hundred and thirty tents were pitched and 228 were occupied. There were 1,150 that camped upon the grounds during the ten days' meeting, in addition to 50 Epworth leaguers, bringing the total attendance to l ,2f>0. The response to the collections and offerings was gen- ereouB. Between $14,000 and $16,000 in cash, notes and other donations from all sources was received. Seven thousand dollars was given for mis- sionary work durine the meeting, J600 in cash. At the annual hallelujah Fri- day afternoon the singing campers marched around the tabernacle and gave their free-will offering to the Campmeeting association. The total, when counted, amounted to $3,000, of which $1,000 was in cash. The association now has property valued at from S1R.000 to $20,000 in Buelah camp. There are eight, and one-half acres of tine river-bordered, well wooded park and several large buildings all owned by the association. The visiting evaneelists stated that the Jamestown camp is the strongest in the United States. During the ten days just closed many noted evaneelists and speakers have preached—Bishop Oldham, Dr. J. M. Taylor, Dr. Calkins and Dr. Trimble of New York. Rev. Guy Wil- son of Chicago. Evangelist Bahcock of Los Angeles and others. Evangelists Wilson and Babc.ock will return three years from now; nexl year, Dr. Morri- son of Wilmore, Kv., and Dr. Brashear will lead the meetings. All of the 1915 officers of the as- sociation were re-elected, with Dr. S. A. Danford, president.; Rev. J. G. Mor- rison, first vice president; Rev. F. H. Farrand, secretary; Paul Brown, treasurer. W. H. Tullis remains as head of the camp ground and supplies and Ira E. Hammer the hotel and store. The supplies have been ade- quate for all the campers and some were rented to the Adventists. The rains did not interfere with the meet- ing although a. few of the tents be- came rather damp. EIGHT BANKS GIVEN CHARTERS Bismarck.

TELLS MOM OF BLOODY BATTLE Minto Boy in Canadian Con- tingent, Writes Story of Bursting Shells. Minto, N. D.. June 29.—Writing to his mother here of the scenes on the 'French hattle fields, where he was injured by the fragment of a German shell, William L. Mcfrilvery, a Minto hoy, who went to Europe as a mem- ber of the Canadian expeditionary force, gives a graphic recital of events on the field where he was hurt. "Comrades were killed and cut to pieces all around me, anrl great splashes of blood were over every- thing," McGilvery writes. "Everv time a shell burst, I shut my eyes, not that I was afraid, but I knew what the re- sult would be. I stood in the one place for over two hours, waiting for the shell to burst that, would claim me. when it came bursting about thirteen feet from me. A piece of steel of the shell caught me on the right side of my breast, and I came down. Tt was the concussion of that explosion that knocked me down, and it was not until I was up. looking for cover, that I discovered my injury. Bed With Own Blood. "My side was stinging, and warm, and when I opened my shirt, I soon found what was warming me up so. I was literally painted r.ed with my own blood. One of the boys helped me on the first aid dressing, and T started along the trench for the nearest way out. It was .only 30 yards I had to cover but fully 100 yards of that, was In the open, the trench being cut. to pieces by the German shells. "On this open space a German sniper was playing a machine gun. I had to crawl almost over a dead com- rade. his head covered with blood. I passed him, and turned to get a look at his face, thinking I might know him. To my horror. I found it was one of my closest chums—shot through the temple. I don't know how 1 managed to cover the rest of the distance—the dead face of my comrade haunting me as I made my way along the road of death." Young McGilvery underwent an op- eration at Boulogne, and was taken to England the day following. He writes that his injury is gradually Im- proving, and he may be able to go again to the firing line—though not certain. N. D.
