not one Of the fighting arms: but In
practice they are often called upon to
fight and to perform dangerous duties.
They may build bridges or dig en-
trenchments, for example under the
enemy's fire. In modern warfare the
engineers play highly important-A-
and often a heroic-part.
The Signal Corps is the message
bearer Of the Army. It carries in
formation and orders from one head
quarters to another. It is today as
essential to the conduct OF a great
army as the telephone is to the con-
duct of great business.
The Signal Corps. e.
At one time the Signal Corps trans
nitted messages chiefly through the
use Of flags lanterns, photographs
(rnirrors so arranged as to reflect and
flash rays of light), and the like, Then
came a period during which it was
chiefly concerned with laying down
and operating telegraph and tele-
phone lines; and this is still one Of it's
most important duties. However,
the wireless is becoming more and
more important, even on the battle
field.
A first class hgnalman Is expert
with all these various methods. He
is also a good horseman, since he
must be able to move about rapidly.
His duties may frequently carry him
into the battle line and into dangerous
positions and he must know how 70
defend himself, his chief weapon is
the pistol. There is no branch Of the
service in which a mans intelligence,
initiative and technical skill count for
moro. .-
The Signal Corps of the American
Army includes the aviation section,
which has grown to be of such vital
Importance. The best-known types of
air planes are the scouting machine,
which goes out to do as much dam
age as possible to the enemy's mill
tary works; and the swift fighting
machine, which attacks enemy air
planes and protects the slower scout
ing and bombing machines. The
work is dangerous, but partly for this
reason is especially attractive to meH
of high intelligence and daring.

donation, disarmament, and a concert
arbitration; that by a similar concert
freedom of the seas be established;
and that the territorial claims of
France and Italy, the perplexing
problems of the Balkan States and the
restitution of Poland be left to such
conciliatory adjustments as may be
possible in the new temper of such a
peace due regard being paid to the
aspirations of the peoples whose po-
litical fortunes and affiliations will be
involved"
Let us now go deeply into the first
of these proposals from the Vatican.
Namely, THAT We return to the status
quo ante bellum, and that then there
be a general conformation. .
Status quo ante bellum.' Surely this
is a phrase to conjure with. AS II
there could be status quo ante
bellum." To bring about such a
status quo" would mean that the en-
tire earth would have to revolve back
to the point it passed on that memo
rable day in June of 1914 when a
Bosnian boy fired shot that was
heard around the world, when the
grievances of years on the part of
Serbia was Embossed against the
crowned heads and their puppets of
Austria Hungary. So, of course, there
can be no real return to the status
quo ante bellum.' The world that was
known "ante bellum,' before the war;
will never be known again. That Is
past history. That is a thing of the
ages. And in this sense truly must the
dead past bury it's dead. The status
which obtained before the war will
never be again. Not SO long as free
men are determined to wipe from the
face Of the earth the Hohenzollerns
and the Hapsburgs and all their ilk
and breed.
Now for the second of the proposals
which the President found in the
'sThat then there be a general condo
nation. - Here too, we run
into a stone wall. 1t is asked that the
world at large forget and forgive the
Of Germany inflicted upon mankind in
general Conformation, in its broadcast
and most liberal sense, means the
pardon Of an offense. Still further it
terrible offense by treating the often
Ter as if the crime had not been com
nitted. There, then, is something to
lsk Of human nature, so weak, so
rail Forgive Germany for all the
crimes Germany perpetrated upon
and grasp Germany's hand,
and kiss Germany's cheek as if the
Imperial German Government had
never raped Belgium? Act as if the
Imperial German Government had not
ordered the provinces of Northern
France sacked and pillaged; as If the
masters had not plotted
against a worlds peace; as If secretly
they had not connived and intrigued
for autocracy's conquest of demo-
cracy; as If German submarines had
not sent to the. bottom the Lusitania
and her precious cargo of American
men and women and children; as if
German duplicity had not blown up
American factories and bridges and in
dustries of all sorts? This indeed is
the height of forgiveness. 1t is doubt
full If it can be attained by human
beings in this year Of our Lord 1917,
nor even in 1927. Combination
There can be no complete conformation;
not, at least, until the German En-
peror is sent into a pitiful condole-
ment. Not until he is made realize
the enormity of his crime.

Friday and he too went into hiding in
a private residence. Only one man in
Minot, he who secured the houses for
the men from the attorney generals
Office, besides the States Atty, was
aware that there was a raid to be
made until about an hour before it oc-
Cured. In the afternoon, r. A. Mes
tos phoned to forty Minot citizens and
asked them to call at the States At
torney's Office that night at ten o'clock
to talk over matters "f0r the good of
the city" He led them to believe that
the gathering had something to do
with the city appointments which were
to be made that night After they had
all assembled, LANCER showed up and
explained what was to be done. Sher-
if Nedrel0e was present LANCER pre-
pared the papers necessary to depu-
tie the men. They were warned to
do their duty and not tip off anything
under penalty Of being dealt with
summarily. All stood up, raised their
right hands and were sworn in. Sew
eral were provided with revolvers, but
not shot was fired during the entire
raid. The forty men were divided up
into ten squads Of four each, with a
captain for each squad. Promptly at
1O:45 they took their assigned places
about the city and started operations.
The story Of how LANCER and the Up
ton brothers took possession Of the
telephone Office SO that nobody could
be tipped of is told elsewhere in this
issue. Within few minutes after
work started, there was great excite
ment turnout certain sections Of the
city. A great crowd gathered and
watched the proceedings. Several
houses Of prostitution in the west end
Of the city were raided and thirty or
forty women Of the crimson path were
gathered in. So quickly were they
"nabbed" that they did not have time
to change their bronze slippers and
decolette gowns. They were taken to
Jail as tho attired for a night in a
dance hall. "A dozen or more autos
were used in conveying the denizens Of
the underworld to the county jail. The
| Jail was soon filled to Overlooking.
There was no longer even standing
room. Judge Murray was routed out
Of bed and he opened his Office for the
Overflow" meeting. Judge Dill and
Judge Davis were secured and they
worked until morning accommodate
those who wished to furnish bonds.
"a good deal Of beer and whiskey
i and large quantity Of cigarettes and
some opium were found in the various
places.

that night by Sheriff Nedreloe.
The work had been so carefully
planned that nobody outside of those
named above had the slightest idea Of
what was about to take place.
Forty arrests were made within an
hour and quarter after the concert
ed raids started, charges being pre-
ferred all the way from selling Gig
arettes and allowing punch boards to
be operated, to gambling, blind pig
ging, operating houses Of prostitution
and accepting money from prostitutes.
In addition to making the forty ar
rests, scores were taken in tow by the
special deputies and held as witnesses.
A good many who might have been
held as witnesses were not taken be-
cause the deputies had their hands
pretty full as it was.
At this writing, none have had their
hearings, but States Attorney Herig-

them.

RUSSELL SEES
WORLD LEAGUE

Rev. Ebert Russell, head of the
Woolman school at Swarthmore, Pa,
who preached the morning sermon at
the West Richmond Friends meeting
after the war, to*which loyalty will be
rated above patriotism.
RUSSELL who was for many years
head of the biblical department OF
Earlham college and pastor of the
West Richmond meeting, is delivering
lectures before Teachers institutes in
the middle west, and stopped in Rich
mond for the day
In his sermon he spoke of the growth
of the ideal of loyalty from the time
when loyalty to family was considered
the highest virtue, through other
stages to theh idea of loyalty to state
which eliminated in the Civil war, and
the loyalty to nation after that strug
gle.
World conditions of the last three
or four years have shown us that
loyalty to nation, and national
patriotism, are not enough" he said
ut was evident to the European
nations in the nineteenth century that
it was not enough, and as a result we
had the triple entente and the triple
alliance.
Just as we have found that loyalty
to state and nation are not enough. we
must look forward to a world fedora
tion. Being loyal to it will not in any
sense mean being disloyal to ones
country.
