In his necessarily brief address at
the Commercial club luncheon yester-
day Mr.. Trefz avoided oratory-

His discussion Of the reasons why
the United States is now without ade-

Its goods across the ocean. other
transportation having been suspended
because Of the war, was practical and

while they were young. Annette gave
them bread and butter and cookies
when mother was busy. She watched
them to see that they kept their
aprons clean and didn't tear their
stockings. She regulated their amuse-
ments and saw that they didn't play
with undesirable children of the
neighborhood.
Annette kept tax on them when
~demeanors sometimes. At other times
she relieved mother and father Of the
worry and kept the matter to herself
and herself administered punishment.
Annette was not a mean person.

often h was a solace in trouble and
a support in an emergency. But
quite as often h was a pest. AS the
children grew older and their person
alfties developed Annette and her rule
grew irksome. On more than one oc-
casion a brother or sister remarked
that life would be endurable if An
nette should marry and leave home
She didn't guess this, however, or II
she did she didn't make 1t known.

lief those who have been convinced
that there is not and has not been any
legitimate reason for the subsidizing
OF American vessels in order to see
the American flag again flying over
great fleets of freight vessels.
AS was stated yesterday. and as is
we'll known to those who are at all
familiar with the subject, our freight
carrying business has persisted be-
cause We have enacted laws which
practically prohibited the use of ships
under the American flag. We have
laid down conditions as to construc-
ton. ownership and operation OF Am
erican shipping which have driven
investment into lines Under foreign
registry. II, in order to secure Ameri-
can fleets, we should pay subsidies
We would be in the position of going
thing impossible, and then paying
people to do it. The course which
appears to be the same and simple
one Is to remove the restrictions
which have made American shipping
impossible, and to give ships under
our flag an even chance with others.
The shipping question was not the
main subject Of the address, but it
was an important feature of it. The
entire address emphasized the fact
that, as one of the results Of the pres
ent war, important changes will nee
essarily be made in the economic stu
alton in the United States, that popu-
lation is bound to come to our shores
from the overburdened and over
taxed countries of Europe, and that,
in such measure and in such manner
as we prepare for the reception Of
this influx will our rural districts and
our cities, great and small, be affected
for their good or Ill.
The line of argument is plain and
easy to follow. The conclusion ap-
pears inevitable. And We of the
northwest, of North Dakota, of Grand
Forks, and of all the other cities in
the state have the opportunity to
make such disposition of our forces
now and in the near future that those
will come to abide with us who will
contribute to our further development
and progress. It is for us to say what
in our own hands.

BRUTALITY AND HUMANITY IN
WAR.

The press dispatches contain a. lib
eral sprinkling of ccoun Of bru-
tal1ties inflicted on helpless people by
victorious troops. As, up to date,
most of the victories in the scene of
the most conspicuous struggle have
been Won by the Germans, 1t is the
Germans who are charged with most
OF the brutalities. Stories are told
Of the murder and mutilation of pris-
oners. of women and Of children. On
the other hand, for every n of these
stories there comes the statement by
some person or committee to the ef-
feet that h narrators car say from
personal experience that the Germans
have been kindly, polite n humane.
One writer tells Of difficulties need
lessly placed in the way Of neutrals
who wished to leave Germany, or
France, or England, as the case may
be, I'M another tells Of every assist
ance being offered by officials and
residents. What is one to believe,
and how much Of It?
First with reference to the efforts
Of neutral foreigners to leave any of
the belligerent countries, it may be
pointed out that much depends on
the attitude and the point of view Of
the individual who has the experience
and tells the story. The American,
for instance, who happened to be in
one Of the warning countries at the
hocjrrjnr 80 h4o$J;%kao
from force OF habit and temperament.
entertained and expressed the opinion
that he and his comfort and convent
ence were things to be considered
above anything and everything else,
and who considered It the height of
impertinence for any person, or any
government, no matter what the ex-
listing conditions, to permit an OBJ
stacle to be placed in the way Of his
going and coming at his own pleasure,
would certainly believe that the gov
eminent Of the country in which he
happened to be was brutal and OPP
pressive. Further. such a man could
not be long in any country without
making his views known to all and
sundry who came near him, and he
would be told, very plainly and ef-
fectively In h language Of his W
country, or it's equivalent in the Ian
guage Of the country in which he hap
pened to be-, to go chase himself, and
that nobody cared a %picayune whether
he ever got out of the country or not.
On the other hand, the man who has
taken a common-sense view Of things,
and taken it as a matter Of course
that the people among whom he hap
pened to be had things more interest
ing, and, to them, at least, vastly more
important than him and his affairs to
think about. and who accepted this
situation patiently. and with a reas-
enable amount of good humor-thie
man is the one who has the stories to
tell Of official courtesy and of the
kindness Of private citizens.
Concerning the other reports, no
government commands. recommend
or approves individual barbarity. That
sort Of thing does not characterize the
organization Of any modern army az
a whole. Sporadic cases Of 1t will be
found In any large army. but they are
not typical.

RULING ANNETTE.

Then Annette went away on a visit,

an artist. thirty-two brown-eyed and

to advise him n his genius would
become known-that he really was a
genius. The family began to pity
him.. He and Annette were married.
The wedding took place at Annette's

him into silence.
Annette regretfully went to the city
to live. She didn't see how the family
would get along without her. She
really was worried.
Don't worry said Frank. We'll
be careful"
Frank cried his mother warn
ingly. Annette is going away for a

He was somewhat abashed. An
nette was lovable, in spite OF her
ways. :.
Whats one persons loss Is an
others gain" he said nicely.
Frank" his mother said sternly.
Why, mother" said Annette smil-
ingly. Frank infers that I'm not
going to be missed"
He's Joking" said her mother
hastily. I'm sure we won't know
what to do without you"
They didn't see her for two years.
She wrote often and her letters were
full Of advice. There came one fervid
n when Frank began to study medi-
cine. He mustn't! Didn't he know that
his short stubby hands would never
do for a surgeon? Frank was glad
that h was not there. .
When Mary became a nurse An
nette would have come home to pre-
vent 1t. Mary was too delicate for
that hard life. she wrote. but her hus-
band was having an exhibition and
he couldn't spare her. She begged
Mary to wait at least for a confer
ence with her. Mary didn't wait and
worded her refusal nicely.

see them, but uneasy surely he was

\ PROFESSORS FIERCE Appeal.


Chicago Herald: william Gardner
Hale, head Of the department Of
Latin in the University of Chicago, at
present in Havre, has sent the follow
ing telegram, according to a New
York dispatch:
Conventions Of war signed by the
United States regularly broken under
conditions impossible in civilization

Professor Hale must be awfully
wrought up to send a telegram calling
on his country to declare var right at
once. We were entitled to expect a
little more poise and calmness from
him.
When the author of The Sequence

lastic calm to be thus disturbed how
can we expect the average citizen to
retain his self-control?

tions?"
If the man who wrote The Antici-
patory Subjunctive in Greek and
Latin" can't refrain from wanting to
mix his country in the European con-
fict what is a plain citizen likely
to do?
The professor should be slower
about making dangerous appeals. He
should remember that he is throwing
into his utterance not only his per-
sonal influence but all the weight OF
demonstrations" "anticipatory
subjunctives' and "tense sequences"
The president and the country are
making an earnest and apparently
successful effort to preserve neutrality.
Professor Hale shouldn't make their
task too hard.

AIR CRAFT IN WAR.

The great war has been in
for nearly six weeks. There has been
some opportunity to test all the avail
able judgements of war. n some ba-
sis is afforded on which to base an es-
innate Of the effectiveness of each new
device. For the first time in the his
tory of the world. air craft has been
used freely. Aeroplanes We're, it is
true. used in both the Balkan war and
OF those wars was the great dirigihle
used. Both are now in Use all over
the field of operations in western Eu-
rope.
Thus far, the superior effectiveness
Of the a%eroplane appears to have been
clearly demonstrated. The modern
d1rigibIo is = mammoth affair. power
fu], capable of long flights. able to car
ry great weights, and fairly easy to
handle when il has attained a sufi-
Gent elevation and the weather is not
too rough. But 1t is fimsy. difficult
to launch and land. and its fraeility
renders il liable to wreck when near
the earth in gustH weather. The
achievements of the great ZnppeIins of
the German army rave been confined
to the dropping of a few bombs in
Antwerp and Faris. without other re-
suit than to kill a few non-combatants
and wreck a few buildings which were
not used for military rpose In
no case has an attack been made by
n of these monsters on an enemy's
ship, on any portion of his army, or
on one Of these fortified positions. In
asmuch as no attempt Of this kind has
been made, it is to be assumed that
those in charge Of the big d%irigibles
know that such an attempt would be
fruitless. II the Zeppelin approaches
near enough to its target to insure
anything like accurate Workmanship
1t would be self subjected to a fire
which would destroy 1t in a moment.
II 1t remain at an altitude which
places it out Of range. it's aim must
be poor. And the expedient of hold
ing the dirigihle aloft and having
bombs dropped from a steel cage sus-
pended far below does not appear to
have improved matters much. The
.dirigible has some value for scouting
purposes, but in his 1t appears to be
in no way superior to the aeroplane.
Neither has the %aeroplane shown
efficiency as an engine OF attack. 1t Is
exceedingly valuable as a scout. It
flies rapidly, is easily controlled, pre-
sents but a small mark to the enemy,
and 1t may be p%unctured in scores Of
places without irnpairins it's flying
powers s olong rs its engine, impor-
tant braces and pilot are not hit. AS
the "eyes of the army a small fleet OF
aeroplanes takes the place of large
bodies of cavalry, and by means of it
IN the present war, each commander
Is kept informed at all times Of the
disposition Of the enemy's troops.
On the whole. neither the dirfsible
nor the aeroplane has shown special
witness for fighting. The aeroplane
has proven it's superiority for prac-
tically all other purposes.
