the report that would aid the
enemy. The Germans already
knew the facts in the case.
Therefore the London paper
by arousing the English was
doing patriotic work while the
.censors by their attitude were
unwittingly working toward
the reverse end.
The feature that makes the
situation discreditable to the
English is the fact the battle
line of the allies IN western
Europe is composed of nine
parts French to one part Eng
! Ilish. On top of that there is
complaint that the English
| forces on the continent are in
sufficiently supplied with am
munition.
1t seems reasonable to take
the view that the new cabinet
in England was needed in order
to throw more life into the Brit
ish campaign.

A DELUSIoN

~ ONTENDING that the no.
VI ton the United States is
getting rich through
supplying war munitions and
food stuffs is wrong the New
York World says:
Complete figures of the
country's foreign trade for the
ten months ending with April
show that the war has destroy
ed practically all commerce
with Germany and Austria
Hungary reduced imports from
the rest of Europe, greatly in
creased exports thereto, and
cut down our trade with the
world outside of Europe. But
the net result is an increase in
exports of $164,600,000 over
ten months of peace in the pre-
ceding year, a decrease in i'm
ports of $197,925,0O0 and an
increase of $685. 100000 in the
favorable trade balance to
more than $8OO,OOO,O00 in a
total trade of $3,557 900, 900.
A striking feature Of the ex-
traordinary export figures is
that the gains have come alto
gether from foodstuffs. Manu-
features in other lines than
foodstufs have been smaller
than in the same months last
fiscal year. In other words,
those enormous exports OF
war munitions are greatly ex-
aggerated. They have been
much larger than common, but
they cannot have been large
enough to influence the course
of the war materially. The
country is worse off industrial
ly, not better off, because OF
the war.
We commend this informa-
ton to the consideration not
only of Germans but of English
men and others who share the
delusion that the United State:
is getting rich off the misfor
tune of other countries.

bags q specific duty of seven
eighths of a cent per pound and
an additional duty of Is per
cent advolorum.
Section 2Sl of the new tar
iff. commonly known as the Un-
derwood tariff, entirely re-
moves the specific duty on
grain bags and reduces the ad-
volorum duty from 10 per cent
to 10 per cent.
From the foregoing any man
who can read and desires the
truth may easily learn that if
the new tariff does not go the
limit towards reducing the
price of grain bags it is aSsur-
edly a vast improvement over
the Payne-Aldrich tariff-the
product of the last republican
administration.
The Wilson administration
and the democratic party may
have faults in abundance. Bui
with reference to the topic Of
grain bags there is no room fol
criticism save on a basis o.
Hypocrisy or falsehood.

Where is there any sincerity

AFTER THE WAR

Two estimates-One by the secre-
tary of commerce and the other by
a prominent banker-agree that at
the end of 1915 we shall have sold
to Europe during the year more
than we bought. The excess will be
somewhere between $1,000. 900. 00|
and half as much again.
Something like $17O,O00.OOO usual
ly spent by tourists in Europe will,
this year. remain at home.
Already the bond market is show
ing up the great supplies Of capital
available for investments in America
in one week was announced the COM
pletion of the sale of 00,OOO.000 of
New York Central bonds and $4O,-
600, 900 of B. & o. notes, And a doz-
en- other smaller issues of new bonds
are being offered.
The stock market is still making
records of heavy transactions, whet-
her due to real buying or manipula-
tion and speculation. War orders"
are making the market in certain
manufacturing companies stocks a
sort of Fourth of July celebration.
The present and the near future
look rosy-no doubt about it! But
/ there looms a more distinct future
and real investors must consider H.
In the words of the banker | men
toned, We in America are living in
fools paradise. Let this be made
clear. again in the bankers words:
The war, undoubtedly, sooner or
later, will find its strength in this
countryi In what way is problemati-
cal. and it therefore behooves US not
to be Overconfident as to the ultimate
benefits Of the advantageous position
we are now holding.
1T stands to reason that such a
wanton destruction of wealth will
have its effect even in the remotest
corners Of the EARTH
Probably one effect will be cut
ting Of wages in Europe when the
war ends, so that manufactured
goods may be sold at a cost lower
than ever before This will mean
shutting American goods out of the
worlds market and a contraction OF
the business Of such Of our compani-
es as have benefited most by war or

For the average investor the long
look ahead may save losses in buy
ing certain securities that the present
boom has raised to prominence.

Canada Draws Many
United States Men

Portal, N. D., Dec. 27.-Canada's Wig
orous recruiting campaign is drawing
many men from the United States for
service across the seas, and at a re-
cruiting rally held at North Portal,
which is really but part of Portal, II
young men offered to go to the front.
Of this number over half are Ameri-
cans.
Estevan has been made the recruit
ing headquarters for the southern por-
tion of Saskatchewan and thousand
men will be raised here during the next
few weeks.
Every border city is holding recruit
ing meetings and it is a very common
thing for Americans to enlist, the war
having the power of drawing a great
number of North Dakotans and Mon.
tanans, particularly, because of their
intimate knowledge Of Canadian condi-
tions, and because of the fact that
along the border many of them are in
constant business communication with
Canadians.

Boy Is the Victim
Of His Own Gun

Bottineau, Dec. 27.-William Pres
ley, aged 20, residing with his parents
on the Charles Buchanan farm north
east of Bottineau, was instantly killed
Saturday evening, when rifle he was
holding was accidentally discharged.
The bullet entered the head near the
left eye and passed clear through the
skull, death being instantaneous.
The victim of the accident, together
with his father, was preparing to go
out hunting rabbits and he brought
two guns, one shot gun and the
other a 22-caliber rifle, from the din
ing room into the kitchen, carrying
the two guns under his arm. He had
reached over onto the kitchen table
for an apple and had just taken two
bites out of the fruit when the rifle
was in some manner discharged.
The parents are almost frantic with
grief over the tragedy, the father for
time being confined, to his bed
broken down with grief. The family
moved here about year and half
ago and until recently lived on the
Armstrong place near this city.

Two Are Held for AN
Alleged Wheat Theft

Flaxton, N. D., Dec. 27-Arousing the
suspicion of two late callers, Floyd and
William Elgie are under arrest here,
charged with wheat stealing, although
at their hearing in the justice court
they attempted to set up an alibi.
James and George Heggeland, who
were calling at the home of August
Pommier, near this city, brought about
the arrest of the two suspects. They
had departed from the Pommier home
about 10 o'clock in the evening and
came upon sleigh tracks leading from
a granary on the Pommier farm. Three
miles away they came upon two men
with two sleigh loads of wheat.
The Heggeland brothers identified tho
men as Floyd and William Elgie, after
they ascertained that the grain had
been stolen. The two men will be
tried at the term of district court open
ing in BoWbells next month

Most Serious Situation
Hinges on Nationality

Washington, Dec. 27.-The sinking
of the Japanese steamship Yasaka
Maru will be made the subject Of dip
lomatic negotiations by the United
States if it is established that an Am
erican citizen was on board when AZ
described in official advices received
today, a submarine Of unknown ma
tionality torpedoed the vessel without
warning.
This became known tonight after
the state department had officially an
nounced that it had no record Of an
American passport having been grant
ed to w. J. Leigh, survivor of tho
disaster, who has been called an Am
erican citizen in consular and press
dispatches.
Should it develop that Leigh actual
ly is an American, the state depart
ment will feel justified in addressing
inquiries to Germany, Austria ana
Turkey in an effort to establish the
nationality of the submarine. 1t Is
considered practically certain that the
craft was Austrian as, it is said in
Teutonic quarters here, that there
were no German or Turkish subma-
rines operating in the Mediterranean
near where the Yasaka Maru was at
; tackled
State department officials are await
| ing information in regards to Leigh
with considerable anxiety. 1t he is
entitled to protection of the United
States in the fact that he was aboard
the liner, undoubtedly this will CON-
plicate negotiations with Austria over
the sinking of the Ancona.
There has been no developments in
the AncOna negotiations and none is
expected before the reply of the VI
emma foreign office is received, prob
ably some time this week. Officials
here do not seek to minimize the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation, as there has
been no Indication that Austria will
accede to the American demands. On
the contrary, a strong intimation has
come from an authoritative source
that the reply may not meet with the
approval of the United States.
The state department today instruct.
ed Edward Lyrell Bristow, consular
agent at Port Said. to interview
Leigh and attempt to determine
whether he is an American citizen.

Auto Sales Show
States Prosperity

Williston, Dec. 27.-Some idea of
the prosperity Of this section is to be
found in a record of automobile sales
for the past year, a canvass of local
dealers revealing the fact that over
900 cars have been sold here, the to-
tai value of which is approximately
half million dollars. ..
Considering the fact that Williston
itself has population of only $500,
and the further fact that every small
town in the district also has auto deal
ers, the record is most remarkable.
The bulk of the purchases have
been made by farmers, and it is an
interesting fact that great percent
age of the machines sold have valued
between $500 and $1,1OO.
Williston auto dealers have increas-
ed their contracts for machines during
the coming year, and will handle be-
tween 20 and Is per cent more cars
than they did last year.

First Twilight Sleep
Baby Born in State a

Minot, Dec. 27.-The first twilight
sleep baby in this state, was born
Christmas eve to Mrs. Joseph Stark,
of Russo, N. d.. at st. Joseph's hospital
in this city. The babe was fine ten
pound girl and both it and the mother
are doing splendidly. ........ 49,.
The twilight sleep is one of the
mooted questions in the medical pro-
fession. It's purpose is to rob moth.
erhood of it's terrors and relieve wo-
manhood from the curse of Eve. That
it succeeds is asserted by men who
stand high in the profession and as
stoutly denied by others equally EN-.
inent.
In the case at st. Joseph's hospital
the mother was put into the twilight
sleep at 10 o'clock, the baby was born
at midnight, and the mother had come
from under the twilight sleep at 2
O'Clock and was in her normal state.
Attendants assert that the twilight
sleep was successful and accomplish
ed all that is claimed for it by its most
ardent advocates. The mother asserts
that the treatment is all that is pos
sible and that it robs the highest pur.
pose Of womanhood Of its horrors.
