Militarism as bugaboo, is being elm

That is 60 say. the professional soldier

chaucal expert
The war has gone far enough TO show
that it is going 10 be won blythe side

machinery not by the soldier

leader waving his SWORD al the front, and
the boys coming along double-quick,
shoulder to shoulder shouting the battle
cry of freedom and AN that sort of thing,

When there IS 70 be q battle it is all
planned out by clerks with compasses.
tables of logarithms, and ruled paper.
Shells are fired at am enemy out of sight.
When the infantry is 90 advance each
man IS told what % do. is given a map,
and crawls out ON his belly with his
suiceersnee in one hand and q bomb in

The Chicago lake front He sits at a table
in SOME little cottage away out of danger,
surrounded by telephones He runs the
battle very much like Sears Roebuck &
Co. run am advertising campaign It's
business age we're i'm, and nowhere
more businesslike than in war.
Swords and spurs are obsolete. Much
of the fighting IS done with clubs, hand
greuades, and the like, one italian com
pany even fencing an Austrian battery
n throwing stones, What personal ele-
ment remains in modern warfare is
mostly primitive Even the rifle is los
ing Importance. the most useful part Of
il being the bayonet which is practically
q knife on the end Of stick. The ma
chine gun IS replacing it.
The horse almost as obsolete IN the
Hindenbme lime as he is on Fifth avenue.
1t is the long distance Seyenty-fiye, the
delicate and complicated arplane it is
the machine. 1t Is the expert mechanic
that has taken the place Of The profess
sioua' soldier
All of which means that future wars
viii be won by economic efficiency, by
the nation tha, is best prepared in mat
tiers Of transportation. food conservation,
finance, mechanical workmanship, and
general scientific APPROPRIATENESS.
These things are the products OF
peace. such as invention, manufacture,
and business SYSTEM The danger from
AN nroad Of barbarous horde Is prac-
tically nil.
The most valuable contribution Amer
lea will make toward victory is not the
number of her fighting men, but her
genius In organization her financial heft,
her skin. res0urcefulncss and fecundity
i'm machines
War Is substituting the engineer for
the warrior.

The War Lords Rest
BY eeRroN eRALEY


J wonder If the kaiscr's sleep is sound
griffin dreams that starlle him awake
tie hears dead voices issue from the ground
And sees the ghosts Of fallen hosts that shake
Their grsly fists before his staring eyes;
wonder II about the imperial bed
He does not feel force malignant rise
The living curses Of the murdered dead
! wonder if the kaiser's sleep is sound,
or If in ecrie stretches OF the night
BE faces God in terrible alright,
THE cod he has bias phemed the cod he crowned
With Prussian bays for Prussian deeds Of hate!
I wonder if hc finds true rest I'm sleep
While little children moan and women weep
Because his lust for empire waxed too great
Hc drov thc sword and drcnched the world in blood;
He plunged mankind n agony profound:
/ wonder If amid this crimson food,
The kaiser's sleep is sound

The Crime of London
Was As Ill-Timed As
1t Was Ill-COnceiyed

IL Was lil-COncelNeu
A few days ago the state Of Missouri
and in spirit the whole world because
over the whole world there are parents
Of children, searched for kidnapped
child.
Though great guns roaHed in France
though shrapnel shrieked and Missed its
way toward mems hearts and mammoth
mines were letting so and thousands OF
tons Of powder along nine miles of front
was pounding the Hindcnberg line back
toward German soil-the world of moth
ers AND fathers was AL forgottui of war
rs en- was trained to catch the smoth-
cred va of babe, torn from home and
from It's mothers arms and held Tor q
ransom.
Where?
The mother knew not.
How?
She knew not.
Dead or alive?
She knew not, bat feared the one cir
cumstance no more than the other
We should say that it was q hit too
soon after the cries of this child had
ceased and its eyes had closed I'M death
administered by its tormentors. it was
too soon after the cold little body had
been found and placed for the last time
in the arms Of its mother To be put IN
its cradle in the earth, that the KAISER
sent his Zeppelins over London 10 drop
bombs upon babies and Kin them.
1t was a bad time the Kaiser picked
for his slaughter of innocents, because
upon the following day the great presi-
dent of a great people still weeping with
the sore-hearted father and mother OF
a poor little boy in Missouri was 20 make
an address and to take for his subject
"Our Flag
The ribboned red and white Of that
standard should haunt the Kaiser's sleep
if he has read the speech. for the stars
in its corner are Of the heaven he-has
filled with angel children, looking down
upon him and accusing him with point
ed fingers.
The foul and ghoul-like kidnaper is
not beneath the tyrant who makes war
on babes.
This great president Of great nation
held high "Our Flag as protection 70
the world against an ambition that would
stoop to the level Of the London muir
ders: that has defed ali law and insulted
all people.
And as he held this banner high, he
pledged all humanity that the sword
has been unsheathed not to be returned
to the sheath until autocracy has been
driven from the face Of the earth. and all
the world, with the German people en-
joying the blessings of Liberty and Free
dom for which we fight, at PEACE.
1t was a great speech, made, as he
was introduced for the first time, by
"the commander-in-chief of the Ameri-
can army"
1t was speech masterfully done-an-
other one.
1t was a speech eloquently delivered.
1t was a speech convincing for the
speakers strength Of character and the
sincerity of purpose in its tone.
And Immediately the Liberty Loan be-
gan to soar until it had been oversub-
scribed 100000 600
The country heard in the great speech
of a great man, against the conscience
less bloodletter in Germany, the wall Of
a child.
The Kaiser, by his latest crime, has
antagonized and set up against him, all
the world that touch Of nature makes
kin.

FARGO'S RED CROSS
ENROLMENT IS SMALL

Miss Mac McCulloch, Grand Forks,
organizer of detachments Of Red
Cross nurses in North Dakota, was
the speaker Friday afternoon at n
meeting of local graduate nurses,
held in Stones auditorium. Miss
McCulloch forCibly stated the great
need of more nurses enrolling in the
Red Cross service, and read an APP
peal recently received from Wash
ingtOn, d. c. She stated that al
though Fargo has the greatest num-
Der of graduate nurses for city Of
it's size, it has the smallest enroll
ment in the Red Cross nursing SER
vice. She also called attention to
the fact that out of 300 registered
nurses in Cass county, at present
there are only IS Red Cross volun-
teers.
Judge N. c. Young, state chairman
Of the Red Cross, also spoke, on the
work of the various Red Cross chap
ters, offering cooperation with the
nurses in whatever way most needed.
He suggested the formation Of a
Cass county unit Of Red Cross
nurses.

Retailers Place Case of
Credits Before Customers

The National Food administration
has issued certain terms and condi-
tons to the tobbers under which they
must do business with the retailers,
and. in order that the retailers may
adjust their system with their
customers to conform to the general
principles of credits, the jobbers have
put out the following letter to the
retailers.
Jobbers' Letter.
Fargo. n. d.
Oct. 80. 1917.
City terms:
Effective Nov. /. 1917 terms on
groceries will be Is days instead Of
80 days as heretofore.
Statements will be sent by the job
bers on the LIST and 18th of each
month.
This change OF terms in the city
has been made necessary to meet
successfully the problems Of these
unusual days, to defend the credit
system, to reduce unnecessary waste
and TO encourage reasonable
economy.
A national emergency exists, es-
peciaIly in foodstuffs, and it is the
earnest recommendation of the gov
eminent that every retailer require
his customers to pay promptly for
