Amusements
Auditorium: "september Morn
Just a wiggle and a giggle.

Just a wiggle and a giggle. a..
That's September Morn, which rode
into Bismarck last evening on a cold
wave.
But there was nothing chilly about
the show. Oh no!
The sbald-headed row did not get
short.changed and the Offering was
breezy enough to .Permeate the fam
lily circle in the e a of the house.
September Morn is built along lib
eral lines. There was a "go as far as
you want to" air about it all, which
of course the title promised.
In fact, the show lives up to its
name.
There are several tiers of pretty
girls with forms devine.' Catchy mu.
sic, agile limbs, frothy dialogue and
a potpourri of modern dances give
the show a certain tone which rQhs
it of mediocrity.
The national board of. censorship
might tone it down, but those who
saw September Morn last night took
it at face value. There are some
real catchy songs, a better than ordi-
nary singing and dancing chorus. En-
semIbles at the close of the acts were
particularly well handled.
Miss Grace Childers as "ArgentinA'
is a dancer of exceptional merit.
Julian Rubell is an average comedi-
an, but his song, "A Spare Rib From
the Butcher Shop OF Life" was well
received.

CANCER PROBLEM

More than 100000 people die annu.
ally of cancer and the day will soon
come when as close attention will be
paid to checking this disease as is
now used in the case of tuberculosis.
The press is full Of advertised
cures, but in most instances their
failure is the sad commentary which
greets the victim. So-called cures
range from home remedies of violet
leaves, molasses and oX.gall to the
more scientific application of cleo
tricity, X-ray and radium.
Although cancer has not been prov
en- to be infectious, experiments are
being made daily to curb the disease.
Neither has it been established that
cancer is a germ disease.
Authorities agree that reported
cures of cancer by medicine are usu'
dlly cases Vi ullSldhcll uldSllOSlo. nv
specific cause has been found for the
disease, but research shows that. it
is least frequent where conditions of
life are hardest and most frequent
where wealth and luxury abound.
Such an eminent specialist as DR..
William Seaman cambridge in a re
cent work declares there is danger
of the publicity campaign making the
public hysterical; that X-ray and
radium, though promising much, are
still in the experimental stage; and
finally that eff cancer cells are cut

HYSTERIA.

1t is natural that all eyes should
be directed upon the national de-
lenses at such a critical time as this,
That both the army and navy need
strengthening is unbeatable, but this
is not an opportune time to enter
hastily into the building of defenses
and the creation of ornaments on a
grand scale.
Our peace, by conditions existing
in Europe, is fairly we'll secured for
years to come. The United States
is fortunately situated geographical
ly. One sea more than 1000 miles
wide separates us from the scene of
the conflict on the east and a body OF
water twice that width protects us
from foreign entanglements On the
west. s,
President Wilson, former President
Taft and many other men in public
life, viewing the question strictly
from a non-partisan standpoint, are
against rushing. into an elaborate mil
itary and naval policy
For years and years the army and
navy departments in their annual re-
ports have been calling attention to
necessary increases in both branches
of our national defense. Their plans
have fallen ON deaf ears until a great
European wal has stirred the pop
ular mind and diverted the energies
of our statesmen into new channels.
Let the lessons of this great war
become apparent before millions are
spent to strengthen our position. The
conflict must needs revamp military
policies and point out better ways OF
defending the lives and liberty of ma
items than are dreamed of now. AL
ready many of the pet theories of the
military have been exploded.
There is no need for impetuous
haste. The burden of federal taxa
ton rests heavy upon this nation.
Increased ornaments mean an addi'
tional load.
Whatever military plan is neces-
nary to safeguard the nation should
be put through quietly and efficiently.
Nothing can be gained 10y publicity
and some real injury may be done.

S u FRIEND,

If public sentiment seems to favor
the Allies, it can be explained par
TALLY on the grounds Of our Nhistori-
cal friendliness toward Russia. The
National Geographic Magazine, "a
most unique publication, has per.
formed a distinct service to that mis-
understood nation in it's November
issue.
Gilbert H. Grosvenor in his article
Young Russia, The Land of Posi-
bilities' gives a wonderful pen pic
ture of this nation in he small space
allotted him.
Russia whether the Allies win or
lose will come out of this conflict
better known and better understood
than since the famous Ivan sowed
the first seds of a national spirit. OF
all nations in Europe, The Great
Bear, is most misunderstood. It's
people are looked upon as cruel, ig-
norant and little above the level OF
savagery.
Napoleon's well known expression
scratch a Russian and you find a
Tartar" is thoroughly exploded in
Grosvenor's article. He sets forth
wildly some traits little known of
the slavic people.
But especially significant at this
time is the attitude Of friendliness
that the Russian nation has maintain
ed for more than a century toward
United States. We quote:
"In our own country Russia has
always stood by us against the world
Even back in the days of George
III, when that monarch appealed to
Catherine II of Russia to lend him
soldiers to help put down the rebel
lion in America, writing her an auto

sian empress disdained to answer
him in her own hand, but through her
prime minister said she could not
help but reflect upon the conse-
quences which would result for their
dignity if they went jointly to calm
a small rebellion which was not sup
ported by any foreign power. This
reply, as well as the way of sending

said that she might at least have re.
