all OF the twenty-seven American bat
tleshIps are each armed with four 12-

great superiority Of the American bat

Comparing the dreadnoughts Of the
German with those Of the American
navy, it appeared, according to the
year book, that the German navy has
thirteen and the American has only
seven. This result is brought about by
including in the list of German dread
thoughts four ships which r armed
with 11-inch guns. while all Of the
dreadnoughts in the American navy
are armed with IL or 14-inch guns.
The result was further brought about
IN the wear book by taking out of the
d~readnought class, the Michigan and
South Carolina, each Of which has a
tonnage Of 10000 IONS and each Of
which is armed with eight 12-inch
guns: If the Michigan and the South

then the dreadnoughts in both of the
navies would be the same in number
nine.
In regard to the tonnage Of the
dreadnoughts Of the two navies, it was
developed that the lowest tonnage in,
any German dreadnought was 22,345
tons and the largest "a, 1905, while in
the American navy the lowest tonnaee
Is 5000. and the highest is 81, 900 tons.

~dreadnoughts each has an armament
OF twelve l2-inch guns and the other

appeared that two had an armament

THE IMPLEMENT MEN,

That the farm implement men are
velopment of this northwestern coun-
try is evident from the personnel Of
the splendid body of men, gathered
here to attend their annual
ton, and also from the spirit that is
manifest at their gatherings. These
men have a vision Of big things. They
arc not content to sit in a warehouse
and peddle out their wares. They have
a broader view of their place in the
plan of things.
Cooperation with the farmers, in
developing a higher plane of agricul-
ture has been the central theme of
many addresses and seems to be the
keynote Of this convention. The i'm
plement men realize that they are in
a position to do a great deal towardi
furthering this new "better farming"
movement that has done so much for
this state and promises so much more.
One Of the splendid addresses Of the
convention was delivered yesterday by
Dr.. w. E. Taylor on Soil Culture. It
an inspirational talk and gave the
implement men new ambition to work
together with the actual tiller of the
soil in building up a fine farming COM
munity.
Better farm implements and their
proper use" is a slogan which might
be adopted throughout North Dakota
with profit both to the dealers, to the
farmers and to the state at large.

CANDLE VAS

The first observance of Candlemas,
or the Festival Of Publication, which
falls on Feb. ?. was probably in the
fifth century, it's establishment as a.
church feast being ascribed by Bede to
Pope Gelasius. 1t received it's name
from the number of candles lit in the
churches, a practice which was forbid
den in England in 154S, but which is
still adhered to by the Roman Catho-
lie church. Candlemas is observed in
commemoration Of the publication of
the virgin, who presented the infant
Jesus in the temple, in compliance
with . e Mosaic law. which held that
a woman is unclean for a certain peri
cd after giving birth to a child. The
ceremony of the publication of Mary
was closed by the meeting in the tenn
pie of Simeon and Anne with Jesus
and His parents. Simeon, taking
Jesus il his arms, declared that he
was "a light to tighten the Gentiles".
This saying later gave rise to the Gus
tom of the blessing of candles by the
priests and their distribution among
the people, by whom they were +
ried, lighted in solemn procession.

LIGHT ON BALKAN SITUATION.

Atlantis. the national weekly of
Greece, is engaged in a campaign Of
education which is intended to give
the American public a better under
standing Of the situation in the Bal
kans following the two savage wars
which have devastated a large part
Of the country.
1t calls attention to the fact that
Greece. which participated in the war
and has suffered the bitter conse-
quences, is not begging the civilized
nations to contribute to her relief. She
is not only taking care of her W
widows and orphans but she is giving
shelter n support to 253, 900 refugees
who have been despoiIed Of all their
possessions by Bulgarian ~looters. and
who are afraid to return to the sites Of
their ruined cities and towns lest they
lose their lives also. These refugees
include many Turkish moslems and
Christian inhabitants Of Bulgarian
territory.
While the Greek army has respected
the lives. persons and property Of nom
combatants. The Atlantis claims that
none Of these sacred rights we're re-
spected by the Bulgarians. Forced
tribute was levied upon people Of
means. inhabitants Of towns were
shot down and driven fugitives to the
open country and their homes and
places Of business were looted of all
portable property to be loaded upon
train for transportation to Bulgaria.
Then the buildings were saturated
with petroleum and burned.
All this loot, it is claimed, was gath
cred into possession of Bulgarian on
GERS and shipped to their homes. There
was enough to relieve the distress Of
the impoverished people if it had gone
to the public treasury, but. it has been
used to enrich the officers and now
their government is crying for help to
save its people from starvation, while
Greece, without any spoils of war, is
grimly taking care of her own people
and hundreds of thousands Of pauner
lied victims Of the war who have no
claim of common humanity.

the United States nine dreadnoughts
each,
Detailed results of their investiga-
were announced by Representatives
'Witherspoon and Hensley in the fol-
lowing statement:
TT was developed that the United
states appeared to have three less
battleships than Germany because
three of the American battleships were
omitted from our list, namely, the
oregon, Massachusetts and the
Indiana. The eason suggested by the
secretary of the navy for the omission
OF these three battleships was that
they were old and obsolete but it
appears that in the German list are in
Guided ten battleships, to wit: Kaiser
Frederick III, Kaiser Wilhelm H.,
Kaiser Karl de Crosse, Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse. Kaiser B~arbarossa, Wittel-
bach, Zahringen, Wetten, Mecklen-
ourg, Schwalon, each of which has a
tonnage of 1894, built at. the same
time as the omitted American battle
ships. and each having a main arma-
ment Of four 8 4-10-inch guns, while
the Oregon, Massachusetts and indiana
have a main armament of -four 13-inch
guns and q tonnage of 10,2SS tons
each. -
"a high English authority was pre-
scented to the secretary Of the navy
showing the in~feriority of these ten
German battleships with their 8 4-10-
inch guns to battleships armed with
l2-inch or 13-inch guns.
1T was further developed that ac-
cording to this comparison in the navy
year book the tonnage Of the German
hattleships. was from 10,s74, which
was the smallest. to 1891, which was
the largest, Of twenty German battle
ships. and that Of twenty seven Am
erican ~battleships the smallest was
11.346 and the largest was 10000 tons.
The secretary admitted that. SO far
as. the tonnage of the battleships was
concerned. the American navy was
greater than that of the Germans. as
well as an excess of seven battleships

TIE GREATEST MOVEMENT.

What is the greatest movement in
nth Dakota at the present time?
ere are many big things being ac-
nplished, and many different move
,nts, most of them working in
.rmony to build up a great agricul-
al commonwealth, but The Forum
ieves that without question the
;a~nization Of farmers clubs will
We a greater influence on the i'm
tdiate future Of North Dakota than
y other one thing.
Today The Forum publishes the IN
uncement of Secretary Cooper of
Better Farming section Of the
nth Dakota experiment station in
lich he states that there are now
J live farmers clubs in this state.
These organizations are doing
ngs. They are getting the farmers
sether as they have never been
ought together before. They are
owing the farmers the value Of CO.
Grafton and what can be ac-
nplished when men Of a class get
;ether to work for their mutual ad-
ntages.
But their greatest good is in show
: the farmers that they can origin
; and take the initiative, that they
d work out their W salvation"
iependently of any outside aid.
You can't make a. man out Of a
imp by giving him free soup. and
len outsiders come into North Da-
ia and tell the farmers that their
ly salvation is in trusting their case
% outside hands they are Offering a
oss insult to every farmer in North
Lkota,
Real cooperation is the one thing
cessary to bring about a revolution
the conditions under which North
-kota farmers are working. But it
lst be a cooperation of the farmers
d by the farmers and independent
outsiders.
These farmers clubs are teaching
, farmers this fact, and the idea is
eeping the state. The Better Farm
: movement did wonders in chang
the sentiment in the state from
. one crop system to diversified
ming, but the winter work Of the
>rkeTs in this movement - the
ganizing of farmers clubs will
'rk q far greater transformation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Cocktails, Demand Is Just.

Brooklyn Eagle: Colonel Goethals
or a man Of his type is urgently need
ed for the police commissionership. 1t
would be superfluous to emphasize his
ability as an administrator or his
qualifications as a dis~ciplinarian. His
work on the Panama canal, now near
ing completion, is a monument to his
genius, his courage, his patience and
his industry. We 10 not know Of any
man in the United States whose i'm
p~ortation here as police commissioner
would give rise to SO much satisfac-
ton and hopefulness IN the part of
all good citizens as would that Colonel
Goethals. And it is testimony to the
entire soundness Of his judgment hat
he absolutely refuses to consider the
commissionership unless the lesislat-
ure gives him full power Of dismissal
over the members Of the uniformed
force. The absence of that power, in
volvins the constant liability to court
review which threatens a commission
er whenever he breaks a subordinate,
has done more to demoralize the police
department than any other single in
f1uence.
