II we hadn't seen IL, we wouldn't
have believed 1t could be done.
Any theatergoer whose experience
extends over more than one season,
and who heard in advance the plot
OF Turn to The Right" which play
ed to a capacity audience at the
Orpheum last evening, would
instinctively avoid it.
Why? Well there's a mortgage in
It. They even have "the papers.
Then there is the old skinfiint deacon
or squire; the runaway boy: the sad
dened mother; the foreclosure about
to take place; the light in the win
dow; the return Of the prodigal; and
happiness enough to go around. The
draHnatist oven got 50 reckless in the
last act with his happiness, he nearly
married the widow to the deacon.
But it almost had the audience on
the seats cheering at the end of
acts, and if anyone had started it
we would have been right up there
waving a hat with the rest of them.
Turn To The Right" is another

100 per cent. 1t is 'TWay Down East"

sense OF humor. 1t is THE Old
Homestead" without a snowsterm or
a ruined girl. Like "Gilly" we felt
like saying: Gee. how do they keep
everything so clean here. There
isn't a cheap cynicism in 1t. There
isn't shady line; there isn't trace
Of vulgarity; and thank Heaven,
there isn't a suggestion Of mawkish
sentimentality. There's a punch"
in every scene, and IL the most
hardened first-nighter that ever
dared a company to entertain him,
can sit through Turn To The Right
without laughing out loud-not
or smiling-not once but a
dozen times, it's because he is deaf
and dumb.

Sure Way To Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys 1t entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, orCi-
nary liquid aryon; apply IL at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub 1t in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all Of your
dandruff will be. gone, and three or
four more applications will complete-
~ dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of 1t, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky, and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. IL is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

FOR AMATEUR sTRATEeIsTs.

The once strategist was in q
thoughtful mood yesterday.
why not7'' he asked.
why not what?" asked the City
Editor.
We'll here's the situation. One
ship loaded with T. N. T. blows up in
the harbor of Halifax. kills from 1000
to 1000 persons, wounds 5000 more,
and wrecks a city OF $4,000 worse
than weeks Of bombardment would.
"over in Belgium Is zeebrugge, the
German submarine base that the
British have been sacrificing thou
sands OF men to capture. Why
couldn't . shipload Of T. N. T. be
steered against zeebrugge, abandoned
when safety of the crew demanded,
and allowed to continue toward the
|harbor, with q fuse timed to explode
the T. N. 7. when It reached there?
Or IL not zeebrugge. why not Helgo-
land, or the Kel canal on some dark
|night?'
OF course the once strategist is
5ust an once strategist. The ship
might strike a mine, or be sunk by
shore batteries before she got within
ten miles Of the coast, but the idea
may provide a little entertainment
for the unofficial boards OF strategy
that meet wherever two or three are
gathered together these days.

WILL BE MISSED.

North Dakota can't AFFORD to lose
smen of the caRbre of Thomas Coop
Ter, director OF the North Dakota Elk
pertinent station.
His removal to Kentucky involves
IN most substantial advance in his
chosen profession, and he will be at
the head Of Kentucky's entire pro-
gram Of agricultural education work
1t Is q bigger position than any that
North Dakota has to offer in this
line OF work and he could not afford
to refuse the offer. He will carry
with him the best wishes of the peo-
pie of North Dakota, and leave be-
hind him sincere regret among those
with whom he has come in contact.
The departure Of Mr.. Cooper may
also be taken as a warning.
!. Men OF the calFbre Of Mr.. Cooper
cannot be expected to stultify them-
selves by remaining in state institu
lions that are the football Of a
political propaganda, and where they
are expected to make their thoughts
and utterances conform to the
political desires of the men in st.
Paul who control their appoint
ments.

ceeded only in getting an agreement
that the people Of the west might
visit Jerusalem. There followed the
Fourth crusade which did not get
near Palestine, the wonderful Chill
dren's Crusade in which $4,000 chill
dren hoped to free Palestine by a
miracle, and the Fifth crusade which
made Frederick the Second OF Ger
many, king Of Jerusalem. This was
in 1928 and he held it until 1914, when
the Turks recaptured it. Other
abortive efforts followed, but the
Mohammedans have held the Holy
City since that time.
If there is any glamor left in this
war, it surrounds the expedition in
Palestine, but the capture of Jeru-
salem has more than a mere sentI-
mental significance. 1t is as import
ant an advance for the British, as
was the drive into Italy for the Gem
trail Empires. In the first place II

it has driven another nall into the
coffin containing Germany's hopes of
an Eastern empire. In the third place
it must have involved a staggering
blow at the Turkish army, for the
Turks never would have surrendered
Jerusalem without good cause. They
attempted to make a stand at Jeru-
salem, but their flight northward has
begun again. and it may be continued
until Damascus is reached. The cap
ture Of Damascus would establish an
Arabian kingdom that would take
the richest part of Turkey in Asia.
It's a long way 10 Constantinople
but the British have progressed
further toward eliminating Turkey
from the war than Germany has in
her efforts to eliminate Italy, and the
end is not yet in sight.

THE HOLY CITY RETAKEN.

The Crusade Of 1917 has been sue

General AIlenby and his British
Tommies have done what the motley
host of Peter the Hermit failed to
do: what the knights Of Richard
Occur de Lion fought in vain for.
The Holy City Is once more in the
hands Of a Christian nation for tho
first time since 1874.
The first of the Crusades was I'M
dertaken to uphold the right of
Christian pilgrims to visit the Holy
SepuIchre. The Turks had conquered
the country in 1865 and inflicted great
cruelties on the Christian pilgrims.

throng that left for Palestine, and it
was cut to pieces by the Turks. Later

THE DRAFTED MANS CHANCE,

One of Fargo's banks did a
lfhoughtfuI and patriotic act in CALI
ing attention, in a paid advertisement
! in The Forum last evening, to the OPP
tportunities Of enlistment still open.
It was a real service to the men
who are likely to be drafted, for the
opportunity is offered them to select
) the branch of the service they prefer
and to which they are best fitted.
The bars are down until Dec. IS,
but after that time men Of draft age
who are likely to be called, will not
be permitted to enlist.
The Forum is glad to call attention
sagain to this opportunity. The Fargo
Rotary club or the Fargo Commercial
club will give full information with
lout cost. and NJ. w. Murphy whose
ofhces are in the Fargo National bank
building, will give any needed advice
and provide necessary blanks without
cost to the applicant. Any man who
expects 70 be summoned under the
draft would do we'll to investigate
for himself.

Lies Keep Red Cross

Against the Organization, It's
Methods and Its OMcerB.

Lie NO. 4.
A woman knitted a Red Cross
sweater in which she concealed a 81
bill. Several days later she returned
to the Red Cross headquarters and
found "a woman there wearing the
sweater, which she identified by the
81 bill concealed in IL.
You'd think that one too pFeposter-
Gus TO gain any credence. 1t isn't,
evidently.
Lie NO. 2.
The sweater sets knitted by women
volunteers for the Red Cross are sent
to France, where the soldiers are
compelled to buy them or do without.
This one, scarcely less crude, usual
ly is embellished by alleged details,
starting something like this:
II have a friend who has sister
who has a son somewhere in France,
lie No, 3.
Thousands of tons Of Red Cross
garments and hospital supplies, ship
ped to New York within the last few
months, still remain there.
That one lacks only one thing to
make It a convincing indictment of
Red Cross efficiency. 1t is unqualified
ly false.
The national officials Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross are paid salaries ag-
gregating $4,000.
The national offioials, and the heads
OF all the American Red Cross com
missions In Europe. are serving en-
tirely without compensation. All the
important administrative positions
are filed by volunteers, who receive
no remuneration.
Observation-Disclosures No. 4.
Despite the appeals for women vol
unteers to make bandages and hospi-
tai supplies, women who have offered
their services have been told only
skilled, experienced workers were
wanted.

The list might be extended indefin-
itely. IL each such malicious story
about the American Red Cross and its
work were given attention each time

1t also calls attention to the large
number Of alien enemies in America.
The bureau of the census in
Washington estimates that there are
4,662,0O enemy aliens within the
United States. Its calculation is
based on the census figures of 1910,
the reports of the bureau of immi-
grafton for the last seven years and
the estimated mortality in that pc
Rod. A table made public by the
bureau of the census apportions the
alien enemies and enemy allies as

In view of these figures it is not
surprising that deliberate attempts
to destroy life and property are so
numerous. The wonder is that
there have not been more serious
troubles like the draft riots OF the
Civil war times. II the government
undertook to watch every. one Of
these aliens, 1t wouldn't do anything
else. The duty therefore devolves
on each community. Kaiserism isn't
hard to recognize, and there are
many ways of dealing with 1t. The
first attempt should be at conversion.
II that fails. ostracism should be
invoked, and If any overt act is
committed or disloyal speech utter
ed, prompt arrest and internment
should follow.
