LEARN TO SPEAK FRENCH.

The Daily Tribune, starting a Sc
ries of lessons in French for men
who expect to fight in France, urges
upon these men, and upon all its
readers, the advisability Of French
study on the part of those men and
women who are to make up our Sc
lected army and Red Cross cOntin-
gents.
The French language, necessary in
some degree to all our soldiers, will
be doubly necessary to those men
who expect to study or work for
commissions as officers. AS officers
they are likely to deal with officers
of the French army-and French is
the language of international inter-
course, throughout the world.
The Daily Tribunes lessons are de-
signed to teach all the French that
can be taught, in limited time,
through the medium of print. But
further instruction will be required
by those who aim to become really
proficient in the French tongue.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-06-21

"Parlez-vous Francais?" will be a
common greeting when the selected
American army arrives in France.
The Tribune intends that the SOL
diers from Bismarck shall be able to
respond: "Oui, oui, Monsieur"
The Tribune has added to its
staff a teacher of French. Her
first lesson in the. language of our
republican allies of Europe will
appear in these pages tomorrow.
The teacher. Nine. Paul Archinard,
was selected because she is thorough
ly familiar with conditions the Amer
lean troops will face on the western
front. She has made two trips to the
fighting lines in France, and has been
engaged in Red Cross and relief work
behind the lines. s. /:
4 She was the author of eyewitness
articles on German atrocities in the
invaded sections of France, published
in the Tribune some two months ago.
She is French instructor of high
repute in America. ~ =.

up phrases in common use, their

LOOSEN UP-COME THROUGH

LOOSEN UP-CoME THROUGH!
Last week we were winding up the
campaign to sell Liberty Bonds. We
came through to a magnificent finish.
We won, hands down!
Now we are in the midst of another
great campaign to raise money. This
time it's for the Red Cross.
This time we are not investing our
money where it will bring back in
terest and principal This time we
are giving it.
This time we've got to show our
real spirit. This time we've got to
show how our hearts feel.
And just because that is so we
ought to come through stronger than
ever.
Let the dollars jingle throughout
America. Let's get ready to take
care of the boys we'll soon have at
the front.
The Red Cross must have every
cent it needs. Loosen up, Americans.
Come through!

Power must be lodged somewhere
in the government to take hold Of this

Someone must have power to seize
the seeds. Someone must have pow
er to control the selling and slaugh-
tering of female animals. We are
setting up machinery for the control
of a food administration Unless
seeds and female animals are con-

The seed wheat of the south is al

caught the germinal elements OF our
food supply, and is sweeping it into
the worlds hungry nav. The way
out is through plain, prompt, effect

no time to be lost. ~.

year of the war.
An expert in foods told me the

he expected milk to be 20 cents a

When such prices arrive, the fat
starvation of Germany will be repeat

dairy herds are reduced to the point
of such scarcity as this, it will take
years to build them up again.
Our dairy herds are being depleted
in just that manner Whole regions

: BETTER THAN USUAL.

Business as usual?' Impossible.
1t isn't in the cards. War Is now the
nations business. Will be until kais-
erism is licked. And war isn't usual.
It's unusual. So business will be un-
usual. But that doesn't mean bust;
ness will be dull. There's no reason
for pessimism. Business will boom.
You cant spend ten billions a year
for clothing, shoes, munitions, ma
chinery, material. food and supplies
without an unusual circulation Of
money. That means business-un-
usual business.
That's the thing business men must
get in their heads. We've got to re-
adjust business. There will be plen.
ty of money. Business will expand.
The demand for labor will be unusual
War will diminish the supply. Rail.
roads will have to be organized to do
more business than ever. Waste must
be cut out everywhere. Non-essen-
tials will have to give way to essen
tials. Injuries to necessities.
First-let every manufacturer un-
derstand that the demand for neces-
stiles will be unusually large, and the
demand for luxuries unusually small
Also, that the nations new business
warts more important to the ma
TONS life than the individuals old
business. Let the individual make
the nations business his business. If
his business doesn't fit the new game
let him change his business.
Second-After all, this is a defens-
I've war on our part. If we fail our
business will go to smash. Safety
first-that means the nations safety
first. The individuals will follow.
Unless the nations business is sue,
cessful the individuals can't be. And
the nations business is war.
Food hogs coal hogs. material hogs,
supply hogs, industrial, commercial
and financial hogs-all these, are a
menace to the successful prosecution
of the nations business. There must
be cooperation. All business must
have common purpose. The cost of
living must come down. We must
conserve the manhood, womanhood
and childhood of the nation. No
greediness. No exploitation. No hog
gish seltishness. All for each and
each for ALL That means business as
unusual and democracy triumphant.

BY HERBERT QUICK.

Washington, June 21.-There is a
food crisis in the United States. Any.
one who denies this, shuts his eyes to
obvious facts. Food scarcity is not
the absence of food. In any civilized
country food scarcity always shows
itself in the. high prices and never
in the absolute absence of food. The
laboring people of the United States,
and people with small incomes, are
pinched today in the matter of food.
What is famine? 1t is nothing on
earth but high prices carried to the
point which makes it so hard to buy
food that any large body of popula.
ton cannot buy enough to properly
feed themselves
Food was exported from Ireland
during the worst periods of the great
Irish famine. Food has always been
exported from India during her worst
famines.
What is the basis of our food sup
ply?
1t is the seed from which crops
are grown, and the breeding animals
of our flocks and herds, the hens,
the geese, the ducks, the turkeys, the
sows. the COWS, the goats and the
ewes. These are the seed of our food
crops and our food animals.
This country is today being stripped
of the basis of its future food supply
The situation calls for rigorous gov.
ernmental control of the breeding
| basis of our flocks and herds, and
| the seed basis of our farm crops
Milk and eggs contain a substance
which all young animals must have
or they cannot grow. Take away
from our children the fat which is
| found in milk and the yolk of eggs
and they will die, or they will be
stunted. l have seen young animals
