RUNNING THE Stacker DOWN.

II Canada adopts conscription, as
now seems probable, one of the first
results will probably be an agree
ment with this country for the hand
ling Of the Stacker" problem.
Americans of draft age who fee to
Canada to escape conscription, and
Canadians who come to this country
for the same purpose, may no longer
find that crossing the border line
means safety.
From all border points come re-
ports of. Americans crossing into
Canada to escape registration. The
exodus from Canada has been checked
by new and stringent regulations re-
garding passports. but undoubtedly
thousands in each country have thus
placed themselves beyond the long arm
Of the government.
The agreement might take the form
OF q treaty requiring a citizen OF eth
er country who is Of the draft age and
who is found in the other coun-
try, to show his registration card
or be- subject to deportation.
Every American who thus evades
hts duty increases the chance Of being
drafted for every man of conscription
age who remains.

ed the chewing habit over to the for
eigner and ought not to kick If 1t
took q deadly hold on him."
No sir. Chewing gum, like the cock
tail, follows the flag.
Says the Devils Lake Journal: "I
am exempt from conscription so
don't have to register That's a bad
mistake, likely to lead to disagreeable
consequences"
Uncle Sam doesn't make any dis
tinctions between those who refuse to
register and those who neglect it either
Intentionally or through ignorance.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
The Sargent County Teller editor
sends out an s. o. s. in the following:
quite a number OF the editors OF
the state have planted spuds and are
devoting more or less space in their
publications to short stories about
blistered hands and lame backs. When
a cure Is found please pass some of II
around. We're in the game knee deep
and swollen and blistered."
Says the Mountrail County
Promoter: with few exceptions this
war will be fought by poor men. There
fore with limited exceptions, it's cost
should be paid by the rich men. Fight
or pay should be the rule-but not
both"
Yhy not? Both should do both as
far as their circumstances permit.

eERMANY's STRENGTH.

Germany's resourcefulness has
aroused the wonder and the admira-
ton of the world in this war. Many
times her strength has been under
estimated. Each time that mistake has
nearly proved fatal to the Allies. They
don't make it any more.
The question Of ,Germany's man
power is probably the most important
in the war, and the estimate given The
New York Times by Gen. Joffre dur
ing his recent visit to America, is
therefore Of much interest and i'm
portance.
Gen. Jofere estimated that in Sep
tember 1916. Germany had 100 divi-
sions on the western front and 55 divi-
sions on the eastern front. Each divi-
sion was figured at 10000 men, maxi
ing 100000 troops in the west and
100000 in the east This made a total
Of 100000. not figuring reserves.
The estimate Of the German strength
now. made by Gen. Petain's staff,
shows 154 divisions in the west; 66
divisions on the Russian front; three
on the Rumanian front: and 10 divi-
sions Of reserves. But the German di-
visions now consist Of but $4,000 men.
making 100000 troops on the west;
5000 on the Russian front; $4,000 in
Rumania, and 10000 reserves.
The apparent losses, not figuring the
reserves which were not counted by
Cen. Joffre. were therefore: $4,000 on
the western front and $4,000 else
where.
The figures show 8 loss Of l71,Ooo

Lee, Wannaska, Mimi, writes: For
several years my daughter had bad

Why NOT A COMMUNITY "sINe"1

Fargo has no agitation against reg
istration.
There have been no attempts to cir
culate literature opposing conscrip-
ton.
There probably will be no attempts
to evads registration.
There will be no disturbance at the
registration booths. The home de-
tense league will see to that.
Fargo, in brief, promises to have an
orderly, uneventful registration day.
That isn't enough, quite. 1t should
be made a memorable occasion. 1t
should not be merely a perfunctory af-
fair like an election registration. Plans
for some observance OF the day are
now being considered by the home
defense league. A big community
sing with a huge chorus of all the
choirs in the city to lead the citizens
in patriotic songs would come as near
being the suitable observance as any
thing that suggests itself. 1t might be
held in the park with a band to assist.
or in the auditorium. with the regis
tered men as guests Of honor in either
event. Just one or two brief, patriotic
speeches, and three or four patriotic
SONGS sung with all the fervor that
can be put into them, would be suf-
ficient but Fargo should not let the
day pass unnoticed.

No TIME FoR "MuopLINe."

Two situations revealed by dis
patches to The Forum from Bismarck
simply shout for joint recognition.
One was an interview with e. G..
wanner, secretary Of the state board
of control, to the effect that he had
never seen more land in crops or crops
that were better put in. Crops are
unusually fine" he said, and the rain
that he credited the farmers with
wanting, has since come.
The other item told of a meeting Of
the state council Of defense. at which
il was stated that a labor shortage
loomed big on the horizon.
North Dakota can't afford to mud
die through" the labor problem this
year There must be an ample supply
OF labor, we'll distributed. and ready
the, minute 1t is needed. The Fargo
Home Defense league already promises
to he a big factor in solving the prob
lerr. It's census cards which will short
ly be distributed, will give complete
list of the residents of Fargo who are
willing to go to the farms for week,
or two weeks, or a month If necessary,
when they are needed. The city man
would do we'll to seriously contemplate
spending his vacation in the harvest
fields. II change Of work is the best
vacation, he would find 1t profitable
in more ways than one. He would be
money ahead, and it would. be of as
much value to him physically as two
weeks in a training camp.

also show how vital is the Russian
situation. If Russia is eliminated, Ger
many can throw another million men
into the battle on the west. If Russia
is rehabilitated, Germany may be
forced to weaken the western lines to
meet an invasion from the east Russia

DO YOU KNOW?
Information on Timely Topics
Compiled BY The Forum.

Do you know anything about the
relative debts of nations?
Uncle Sans Official Bulletin has the
following to say on the subject:
Great Britain's estimated wealth is
$s5, 900 900, 900: she has made three
great loans since the commencement
of the war. aggregating $10,000,000, 900.
Her last loan was for S4s500O, 900,
which was the greatest single loan ever
foated in the history of the world. 1t
was taken up in thirty days 5,2S9,000
individuals subscribing to the loan. One
person in every eleven inhabitants of
the United Kingdom subscribed to this
loan, and the average subscription was
$3.50, though a great many subscribers
took only Ell, or about $5. The great
number of subscribers to this loan Is
pointed out as evidence of the pa
triotism of the British people.
Germany's wealth Is estimated at
$50, ,000, 600, 900. Germany has put out
five loans since the commencement Of
the war, aggregating $1i, $50, 100000. In
Germany's latest loan one person in
thirteen of the population is reported
to have subscribed. and the average
amount taken by each subscriber was
$700.
Taking into consideration these
figures. the So 900, ,000,0 900 loan of the
United States with an estimated wealth
Of $220, O00, 900, 900 and a population of
over l0O,000,000 seems almost small.
With wealth nearly three times as
great as that OF Great Britain it is try
ing to borrow less than one-half of
what Great Britain has borrowed, With
a population one and one-half times
as large as that of Germany our loan
is much less than half Of the amount
that Germany has borrowed.
Americas Liberty Loan il less than
one-sixth OF the bank deposits in our
country. An ordinary borrower does
not think he is running himself when
he borrows 40 per cent OF the value of
his property. The United States is
borrowing less than 3 per cent Of its
wealth.

1.-THE MarseiIIaise."
Ye sons Of freedom, wake to glory!
Hark, bark, what myriads bid you
rise!
Your children. wives and grandsires
hoary,
Behold their tears ana hear their
cries!
Shall hateful tyrants. mischief breed
ing,
With hireling hosts, a ruffian band,
Alright and desolate the land
While peace and liberty lie bleeding
To arms, to arms, We brave!
The avenging sword unsheathe!
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On victory or death!
Now, now the dangerous storm is roll
ing,
Which treacherous kings, confeder-
ate, raise.
The dogs Of war, let loose, are bowling,
And 10, our fields and cities blaze!
And shall we basely view the ruin
While lawless force with guilty
stride
Spreads desoIation far and wide.
With crimes and blood his hands i'm
bruing?
With luxury and pride surrounded,
The vile, insatiate despots dare,
Their thirst of power and gold un-
bounded,
To mete and vend the light and air.
Like beasts OF burden would they load
us,
Like gods would bid their slaves
adore.
But man is man, and who is more?
Then shall they longer lash and
goad us?
o Liberty, can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous
flame?
Can dungeons, bolts or bars conhne
thee
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world has wept, bewail-
ing
That falsehood's dagger tyrants
WELD.
But freedom Is our sword and shield,
And all their arts are unavailing,
To arms, to arms We brave!
The ayenging sword unsheatheI
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On victory or death!

richest the most prosperous and great
est nation on earth. To them 1t has

homo Of the fir - md the land Of the
brave" In d. Gods country.
And now tina: :. war has come eight

such varied and thriving industries and

America like its people has been pro-

largely responsible. for you have seen
the acts Of your representatives, at
Washington without protest.
But the fact is tina. OF the trifle moro

plus has accumulated in the treasury.
And the rainy day has come for tho

Now we need s2O,r00.00n.00o for this
