MOORHEAD GIRL
REMAINS MISSING

Fargo. \. d., Dec. 19.--What has
become of Nora Erickson, the 16-year-
old Moorhead high school girl who
disappeared Sunday afternoon remains
unknown. The police of both cities
have been searching for her since they
We're notified, but have SO far been
unable to locate her.
The missing girl is a daughter of
Halvor Erickson of Third street
southwest. She left her home Sun
day afternoon to meet her sister in
Fargo. but never reached the appoint
ed place. Her mother still hopes that
nothing serious has happened to her
girl, and says that if she fears to
come home in that thought that her
parents will be angry with her, she
is wrong, for everything will be for
given and forgotten If Nora will only
come back.

DIE, BUT NEVER SURRENDER.

The ethics Of modern naval warfare
appear to call for very needless
and useless sacrifice of life. 1t ap-
pears to be considered the necessary
thing for the commander of war
vessel in an engagement to sink with
all hands rather than surrender her.
Land warfare calls for no such sacri-
flee. The general whose army Is sur
rounded by a superior force, who is
cut off from reinforcements and sup
plies. is not only dishonored by sur
render, but he is apt TO be severely
condemned If, in a situation which is
manifestly hopeless, he continues a
fight whose effect can only be need
less waste Of life, without any COM
pensating advantage to anyone. There
are situations. Of course, in which a
small force is required to hold posi-
ton until It's last man has been kill
ed. in order to make possible the
working out of general plan. But
where there is no such situation as
this, the commander who finds him
self hopelessly outnumbered and over
matched, he is expected to surrender.
making tho best terms he can.
Just what are the instructions to
naval commanders we do not know.
But, In obedience either to instruc-
tions of to traditions which have been
built up and are accepted, the COM
mander Of a warship Is not expected,
under any circumstances, to let his
vessel pass into the hands of the enc
my. The smaller vessel, therefore,
which enters into an enga agement with
a larger one, is practically doomed
from the start. Only luck can save
her and her crew. The custom makes
naval service look anything but at
tractive.

A PLAGUE WITH A HISTORY

In a very interesting article in the
Metropolitan magazine Richard Wash
burn Child gives some facts with ref
crencc to the ravages of the foot and
mouth disease among cattle abroad.
According to Mr. Child, England re-
duircd nearly fifty years to rid her
self Of this plague. The last epiZootic
form of the hoof and mouth disease
ON the continent came from Russia In
1856. Four years later statistics col
lected in the German empire showed
that nearly half million head of cat
tie, more than a quarter-million of
sheep and goats, and more thai. a
sixth of million of swine were VIC
Tins of the disease. In 1871 the in
fection cost France over seven million
dollars lin 1888 England stood loss
of five million dollars. The greatest
losses, it must be remembered. are
not in animal mortality. but in loss
of weight, diminished milk supply.
aborted pregnancy aud permanent
after effects remaining when the ac-
DR.. Cope, of tho British board of
agriculture, said at the International
Congress Of Veterinary Surgeons at
Baden Baden: 1T is true that the
foot and mouth disease rarely assumes
fatal character, but the fact that
nearly all classes of animals on the
farms are susceptible renders the in
direct losses much greater in the case
Of foot and mouth disease than in
rinderpest Of pleuro-pneumonia,
which only asect cattle. In my coun-
try, where it existed for at least fifty
years, it caused enormous loss
greater than that Of all the contagious
diseases of animals combined"
Dr. Loeffler, an authority, says:
Foot and mouth disease is spread
ing more and more every year, and
every year 1t costs the German en-
pire enormous sums. Necessary
measures had been taken with the
greatest care; suspected grounds had
been closely quarantined: this meas
ure had been extended to whole COM
munes and even to entire districts;
disinfection had been carried out care
fully. and. Notwithstanding all this,
the disease kept spreading"
For eight years England barred the
importation Of all cattle from coun-
tries whore the disease, was known
to have . foothold. -
In the United States there are many
times the number of cattle. a much
larger animal investment to protect,
than in tho countries on the CONT
.nent where the disease has caused
such ravases. The damage done in
fifteen days between October 81. and
November 1b In this country. impos-
sible to estimate accurately, amounts
to many millions. Both in France
and Germany the average loss for
each infected animal which RECEIVERS

THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH

Postmaster General Burleson is very
decidedly In favor of the government
ownership and operation Of the tele-
graph and telephone lines. He de-
votes considerable space to the sub
ject in his annual report. and the an
mated controversy which always at
tends the opening of this question is
again on.
There has for a long time been a
feeling In the postal department in
favor Of this extension of the service.
and Mr.. Burleson's predecessor was
very much In favor Of it. Mr. Burle-
son quotes from the financial records
Of his department to show that 1t is
now. as he. maintains, for the first
time In Its history, on an actual pay
ing basis, and he believes that this
makes the present an opportune time
for such extensions as are desirable.
One mistake is made by enthusiasts
tic advocates Of the extension. as we'll
as by many of its vigorous opponents.
This is the basing of their arguments
on CT Institutional grounds or general
governmental principles Some Of the
enthusiasts on one side maintain
that 1t is the bounden duty of the
government to take over these means
of communication, and that in not
doing so it is violating one of the
plain principles on which the nation
is founded. Others, on the other
side, are equally certain that such an
extension is vicious in, Its very prin-
ciple, and a direct violation of the
Esprit and intent: II NOT Of the very
letter Of the constitution.
= A temperate consideration of all
the facts can lead to but one conclu-
sion. namely, that mo principle Of gov
ernment is involved in the question; F;
that..the constitution neither COM
mands nor prohibits; that IL does per-
nit: and that the decision to be reach
ed in any such case is to be governed
by questions Of expediency alone.
The question is simply as to the
manner in which the best and most
economical service can be given to the
people. If the country can be better
served. without increase in cost, or il
1t can be as we'll served at a lower
cost. through the medium Of govern.
ment ownership of this utility, then
the change would be good thing. ii
not. it would be bad thing. The
