OLD WORLD AND THE NEW.

While blood-soaked Europe is reap.
ing death and misery, the New World,
toward which the star of empire has
long been shifting, is preparing to
reap one of the greatest crops in its
history. This is an empire whose
foundations are fixed upon liberty of
thought and action. 1t may not at
times be as representative of popular
will as it might be, but it has tle
principalities OF the Old World dis
tanced so far that even Elihu Roots
admonition that our government is
no more representative than that Of
Venezuela, fails to arouse us unduly
as we contemplate the plight Of our
brothers and sisters across the sea.
W:aen the supreme test comes, this
nation will meet the crisis manfully,
as it has in times past.
But at present the advantages of
peace press home more potently than
ever. Within the next few months
billions Of additional wealth will be
taken from the soil and much of it
will go to succor the more unfortu.
nate across the seas. 1t is the duty
of the United States to keep lighted
the fires of civilization during this
period of stress and turmoil. It is
our responsibility also to maintain
those ideals of government which
have kept us at peace with our for.
eign neighbors for more than a cen
tury.

FAITH IN NAVY.

In these dark days for the Allies,
British hopes of ultimate victory are
pinned to the navy. Despite the fact
that the submarine has shattered the
efficiency of much naval defense, the
English papers in their summaries Of
the first year of the war retain an
abiding faith in the greyhounds Of
the sea.
British sea power is pictured as a
counterbalancing factor to the pres.
ent reverses in Poland. 1t is main
tanned that the fleet stands as certain.
ly between the central empires and
their aspirations as Nelson did be.
tween Napoleon and his dreams OF
world mastery.
The Allies are depending upon
their strength on the sea to pile up
an army which even the we'll trained
fighting machine of Germany must in
time bow before.
Much comfort is being taken in
tle fact that history fails to instance
the loss Of a backed by the
supremacy of the sea. But this strug.
gle has shattered so many historical
%precedents that probably the control
Of the sea may not be a determining
factor of the war.
Success of the Allies depends upon
the stability of Russia. If Germany
can effect a separate peace vita the
Muscovites, settling with England
and France will be much easier. Eng
land, however, seems confident that
the Slav never will be conquered and
that Germany, in attempting the
seemingly impossible, will out
her armies, as did Napoleon in his
foolhardy descent upon Moscow.
This quotation from a leading Brit
ish paper reflects tae confidence plac.
ed ID the ability OF the Russians to
hold their own:

navigable stream Should galyaniZe
the Commercial club and the local
business men into action. Tie fu.
ture of the waterway is at stake and
Bismarck has as keen an interest as
some of the cities to the south of us
Lieut.. Col. Deakyne has recon-
mended that work on the river he dis
continued on the ground that 1.-The
present and reasonably prospective
commerce is not sufficient to warrant
the expenditure necessary for the ex
ecution and maintenance of the im'
provement."
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, in
speaking of the proposed abandon
ment, says: .-....
mine engineers have held that nav
igation of the Missouri river from
Kansas City to it's mouth is feasible
Five years ago congress adopted an
improvement program which provided
an expenditure Of 100000 a veal
for ten years. But it has actual;
spent but about $4,000, 900 to date, be
ing about s4,OO0,G00 behind. There
are some shallow places that have
not been touched. But acting under
a peculiar provision of the last rivers
and harbors act. Lieut.. Col Deakyne
has recommended that work be dis
continued. 1t is odd that Congress
should have left a question of com
merce and internal policy to the de-
termination of an engineer. Col. Dea'
kyne does not say that the Missouri
river cannot be made n~avigable for
the estimated expenditure. He mere
ly guesses that it will not be used
enough to make it pay the govern
ment.
The river has not had a fair trial.
The boat line established by public
spirited citizens has used the river,
the use the first half of this year be-
ing greater thar eve before. That
more boats have not been put on is
largely due to the failure of the gov
eminent to carry out its program. A
more liberal use of the Mississippi
will increase the use of the Missouri
"The Missouri river plan appealed
to everybody as sensible. But the
government failed to maintain it. If
it uses tais failure as an excuse for
abandoning the improvement, it will
be the severest blow dealt river navi-

ri(From the Lawyers Magazine.)
Comes now lgnatz Waldo. who
complains Of Miss Lucretia Smythe
and declares that by reason OF her
grace, beauty, and general lovability
he has lost his heart to her, where.
fore he prays the said Miss Smythe
that she take pity upon him and ac-
cede to his request, to wit, namely,
that she join him in the bonds OF
holy wedlock.
Whereupon the acknowledgements
toned Miss Smythe treats the com-
plainant in a cruel and inhuman man
ner, in that she laughs scornfully at
him as he rests on his knees before
her, and declares that she will never
marry him because Of a previous con-
viction in that she saw him kissing
another girl at the railroad station on
a day and date which she does not
at the time recall to mind, all OF
which she swears is true to the best
of her knowledge and belief.
In reply thereto the complainant
prays for a writ of error, and states
that the aforesaid Miss Smythe was
in error when she made the kissing

spiritual energies of a profoundly re.

spiritual energies OF a profoundly re.
ligious. people. They know now that
the supreme trial, unknown since
1912, is upon them. Their faith, as
is the nature OF faith, rises with the
trial. In solemn days of i~ntercession
the churches have been crowded, and
there are prayers in every home. AS
they gave up vodka, they will give
up all in life and goods that may be
required to ensure victory. They
fight with utter contempt of death.
Such a people lever can be conquer
ed. The Holy Synod has issued its
appeal to the emotions that make tlis
struggle for the Russian people a
holy war, indeed. in a sense that the
West cannot conceive. The Grand
Duke has again declared his assur-
ance of final victory in accents de.
void of rhetoric, and breathing the
calmest sincerity of confidence
These lines were written, however,
before the fall of Warsaw and the
narrow escape OF the Russian arm
les. The British view the successes
in Poland merely as Pyrrhic victo-
ries.
The English seem to overlook the
immense political effect of the Kais.
er's entry into Warsaw. Anyone who
has followed the diplomacy OF the
last few months must realize that
the victories in Galicia and Poland
have had a quieting effect upon the
Balkans and have strengthened Ger
many's prestige in that section.
After an analysis of the German
successes, the London Observer falls
back upon it's first assertion that sea
power will in tle final analysis bring
decisive victory to the banners Of
the Allies. 1t says:
"No more sure and formidable Ell
iciency in essentials has ever been
shown by any country on any element
than Britain has welded on sea.
There alone she was prepared, and
there she has achieved a triumph
more sweeping by far than anything
which Germany, in spite Of all her
colossal preparation and boosted eff.
cheney, has gained on the Continent.
Because the Grand Fleet is not in the
limelight and much of the work that
we accomplish against hostile subma.
rines is necessarily buried in the
dark, hardly one in a thousand Of
our own people seem to realize what
has been the measure of the British
navy S success Ur of the admiralty's
war supremacy" a..a.

State News and Comment

Prairie chickens are to be very
scarce this year, according to reports
brought from various sections OF nor
thern Minnesota and northeastern
North Dakota. The heavy spring and
early summer rains are responsible
for the shortage Of game, and sports
men who anticipate finding any real
shooting will be forced to go to points
in the western section Of the state,
where the supply of game birds is
more plentiful because Of less rain.
There are more school children in
Grand Forks, tle second city of the
state in point of population, than in
Fargo. the state metropolis. The
school census just announced by the
two cities shows Fargo's school popu-
lation at slightly in excess of 4,4O0,
while In Grand Forks the total num-
Der Of school children is 4,730. In
the county of Grand Forks, the total
school census is 5000, an increase
over S,977 for last year.

"S0ONERS" BEWARE
Of GAME WARDENS

The following notice has been sent
out by Chief Game Warden E. 3. Nc
Cutcheon to all deputy game ward
n in the state:
Sooners, Beware!
Please remember, and try to i'm
press upon the public, that it is a
miglty serious matter to kill game
before the season opens. The last
legislature went dead against the
Sooner" They decided that this
species of human flesh was about as
low down as man could get and SO
raised the penalty from $40 to a min
imum of s25 and up to $50 for each
bird killed before the opening of
each season, and the justice may also
impose a stiff Jail sentence. See Sec.
SO Of the new game law. We would
rather prevent the killing of bird life
than prosecute guilty parties, but in
cases where you have violations, see
to it that nothing is overlooked by
the justice. You may sometimes find
a justice inclined to reduce the pen
atty. He has no legal authority to do
SO. He is an administrative officer,
and must enforce the laws made by
the legislature. Report all violations
promptly.
