WYE LA FRANCE!

Saturday will be the anniversary of
the storming of the Bastile, which is
celebrated by the French as their ma
tional holiday.
Our Independence Day this year
was celebrated in the French capital,
in what was probably a more enthus-
iastic way then it was observed in
any American city. American troops
paraded the streets at the request of
the French authorities, and through
out France every honor was paid Old
Glory. 1t was the spontaneous act of
friendship by a warm hearted, cour-
teous race.
It would be a pretty compliment If
the tricolors should be seen flying be-
side the Stars and Stripes in Fargo
Saturday. Probably the news of our
little compliment would never reach
anybody in France, "mais celia ne fait
rien. Vive La France!"
The potato crop is one Of the five
American crops that will set a new
high water mark this year. Without
taking into account the big increase
due to backyard gardens, the yield

It looks like case of potatoes on
every side, but not one to eat-un-
der a price about three times what
was once considered a generous one.
PUNISHMENT FITS CRIME.
1t is singularly appropriate pun
ishment that is being melted out to
the sixty-three /. w. w. who are be-
ing passed along from city to city in
the Southwest.
They are men without a country.
The l. w. w. has been a vicious
enemy to this country's institutions.
Most Of the members are not citizens
of this country, fleeing from oppres-
sIons abroad to malign the country
that gives them shelter, and TO plot
against its safety and welfare.
Now this land is disowning them,
and its citizens refuse to allow them
70 find a resting place, but keep pass
ing them along in cattle cars. They
disowned the country and now the
country has disowned them.
It may not be a strictly legal or
highly Christian act, but there is a
certain grim justice about it that
makes one wish they would be kept
moving until they cross the Rio
Grande.

UNCLE SAM AND MEXICO.


Uncle Sam Is not in a hurry to
make a partner out of a debtor.
That apparently, is the attitude. he
takes toward Mexico.
There is still little matter to be
settled between Mexico and the
United States and the European
countries.
Just because General Gonzales con-
signed the Kaiser and the whole I'm
perial court to a-warmer climate than
Mexico, 1t does not follow that the
Allies will grasp the hand of cur
southern neighbor and let bygones be
bygones. If Mexico could materially
aid in sending the Kaiser to the
place where General Gonzales con-
signed him, it would be different.
Uncle Sam wants friendly relations
established with Mexico, and the AL
lies want her oil. but Mexico must be
made to realize that she must pay the
just claims resulting from the I'M
pleasantness that gave American
troops a recent training trip to the
Rio Grande.

Warning

We arc informed that at some cafes, restaurants
and gardens beer and strong drinks have been
sold under the guise of the popular soft drink
Bcvo.
These reports have been confirmed sufficiently to
compel us to take action.
The beverage Bevo enjoys the protection of both
federal and state authority. In preparing it for
sale and in marketing it, we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against imposi-
ton and to prevent evasion of the law. Bevo is
sold in bottles only, we bottle all of it ourselves,
and we have adopted kind of bottle, crown and
seals designed to prevent imitation.
We shall omit no measure within our power. to
defend the authority under which Bevo is
manufactured and sold, to protect the public from
imposition, and to safeguard the good name of this
Association
We therefore give fair warning that we shall refuse
to sell our products to those who found guilty
of the above ofense.

In regard to fixing the blame for
plumbers of the war, The Grand
Forks Herald has the following TO
say:
One of the most interesting
things about this war has been
the manner in which England
has faced the grim and bitter
truth about her disasters. Every
time there was evidence that
someone had greatly blundered,
resulting not only in the loss Of
a campaign, but in the useless
throwing away of lives and treas
ure, there has been a searching
investigation.
In each case the responsibility
was fixed, the men guilty were
named, and the whole report
published for the information of
the people of the empire. There
has been no whitewash bucket.
That is one of the beauties
about a real democracy. There
Is no one so sacrosanct that he
must be shielded; no one so
powerful that his blunders must
be shifted to some scrapegoat.
In regard to protecting the chill
dren from the evils Of child labor
during the war, The Bismarck Trih-
une has the following to say:
This world war into which we
have entered to make the world
safe for democracy, must not be
allowed to destroy any of the
safeguards we have by slow,
painful steps erected for the
cause of democracy.
Aside from the strain and
stress OF battle, danger turks in
every war. The unsleeping forces
of greed and selfishness are al
ways on watch to regain lost
ground.
One of the lessons the Allies
can teach us Is that we must not
throw our children into the fur
mace of war. There must be no
wholesale suspension of restric-
tions of the hours children are
permitted to labor. There must
be no Iet-up in child welfare
work. There must be no paraly-
sis OF school systems.

Germans Dividing
Belgium Into Two
Different States

The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. L.
The Germans are steadily carrying
out their scheme of dividing Belgium
into two parts, comprising the Wal
loon or F-rench-speaking and the Flem-
ish provinces respectively. The past
month has been the splitting UP OF
the Ministry of the Interior and the
mi nistry of Foreign Affairs, leaving
only two departments not yet affected,
those of Finance and of Justice.
The Walloon ministries are being
transferred to Namur, the German
appointed capital of the French half
of Belgium, the Flemish remaining at
Brussels
Where the Belgian officials have re-
fused to lend their cooperation and
obey the German instructions, and this
has occurred in the case of a number
of leading administrators. such dis
senters have been replaced by men
more plia,ble in German hands, often
chosen from among those who have
lent themselves to forwarding the sep
aration idea or have otherwise COM
mended themselves to the occupying
power.
According to the 'Taegliche Rund-
schau.' each of the projected parts OF
Belgium is to have it's own budget.

MADAME ROLAND

Madame Roland was probably the
most remarkable woman of the
French Revolution. She was born at
Paris in 1855. She married in 1881
and. having received an excellent ed
ucation, assisted her husband in his
business affairs and when secretary
of the Interior after the outbreak Of
the Revolution, and before anarchy
was let loose, was his confident adj
WISER The Rolands were in sympa-
thy with the Revolution, but opposed
the violence and bloodshed which
followed in the course of the out
break When the massacres of Sept.
2. 1892 took place M. Roland bold
ly denounced them in the National
convention. After that neither of
their lives was safe. When the fac
ton headed by Robespierre, Danton,
Marat and other rabid revolutionists
gained the upper hand Madame Ro-
land was cast into prison, while her
husband fled. After languishing in
prison for several months and observ-
ing many of her friends sent to the
guillotine, she followed them to the
scaffold on Nov. 81 1913. It was she
who exclaimed "Oh, Liberty, how
many crimes are committed in thy
name" Her husband hearing of her
death, ended his life.

Her frightful experience failed to
dismay her, for she Immediately Of
Tered her services as a guide to the

She was plotting q reconnaissance
patrol a few nights later when. be-
coming detached from the party in her
eagerness to lead them on, she was
seen by the German outpost at Fries

famous-and was made prisoner. The
officer before whom she was led was
the same who had condemned her to
death In Eclusier.

there won't be any miracle"
But the miracle repeated itself
and not once, but twice. First the

Then a French projectile from the
celebrated "75'' gun pierced a hole in
the solid stone ofsthe church in which
the Germans had incarcerated her,
and passed on without exploding.
That it didn't burst was miraculous
in itself Had it done so Marcelle
would certainly have been killed. As
it was, she was able to crawl through

| French lines.
Still the young herosne's nerves re-
| manned unshaken. Beside herself,
| there was only one civilian left in that
part of the country, a paralyzed wom-
an more than 80 years old. Marcelle
devoted her attention to caring for

what she could for the soldiers. She
was almost constantly under shell IRE

trenches until the advance on the

Women Who Wed
Slackers Liable to
Be Sent to Jail

washington, Aug. Women who
marry men who have been drafted
with the idea of aiding them to es-
cape military service are as liable as
their Stacker husbands to be sent ia
JAIL according to an announcement
made last night by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. General Crowder
authorized local exemption boards to
warn persons who claim exemption on
the ground of marriage contracted
since the Draft Law became effective
on May 18 that both parties are liza
Bile to prosecution" under the pro-
vision making it misdemeanor for
any one to evade the act or for any
one to aid another to evade its re-
quirements.
Answering the general question as
to whether a person married since
July 20-the date of the draft draw
ing-can have claim for discharge
on that ground, General Crowder
said:
Marriage is not of Itself a valid
ground for making claim of dis
charge. "A man whose wife is mainly
dependent GU his daily labor for sup
port may claim exemption on that
ground. But dependency is a matter
of fact. Only the exemption boards

MRS. TURNER

Mrs Turner was a woman OF great
beauty who. in the reign of King
James I, was implicated In the MUIR
der OF Sir Thomas Overbury in the
Tower and who some time after suf-
fered the death penalty for her con-
nection with this crime. Robert Carr
came TO the court Of James 1 and
his rise, owing to the favor he had
gained, was very rapid. He chose as
his friend and adviser Sir Thomas
Overbury. Carr, in the course of
time, cast his eyes toward the coun-
tess Of Essex. the beautiful and fas-
cinating daughter of the Earl of Suf-
folk. This object of Illicit love read
lily responded to Carr's advances. The
woman responsible for making ar
rsngsments for convenient meetings
between the two was Mrs. Turner, a
sort Of companion to the Countess of
Easex. The time came when the pair
desired to marry In order to legalize
their connection, and this necessitat-
ed divorce proceedings which were
promptly brought by the Countess.

step, and so advised his protege, who

Suffrage Workers
Given Square Deal 4
In State Papers

(News From Suffrage Headquarters,
Hartford)
Apparently there are people who
need to come to Connecticut for in
formation as to what the suffra gists
are doing. The newspapers of Con-
necticut have reported very fairly the
suffrage leagues activities in wal
work. All over the United States
suffragists are taking the lead in wo-
mems war service. DR., Anna How
ard Shaw is chairman Of the Wo-
mans division of the National Coun-
ell of Defense. Mrs. Gait, at the be-
ginning of the war, offered the SER
vices of the whole of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton to President Wilson, and the
state associations and local leagues
have nobly responded to her demand
on them. In Connecticut Mrs. Hep
burn made a similar offer to Cover
nor Holcoube, and the Central War
Work Committee of the Connecticut
Woman Suffrage Association has
worked continuously tos make good
this offer. !,
Yet In New Y orl, there are readers
of the New York Times--a strongly
anti paper, who are unas-=the i'm
preston that suffragists have refused
to concern themselves with national
service. In a letter to the editor
printed in a conspicuous place on the
editorial page a. few days ago, wri-
ter who signs himself or herself J.
g. H states that she was an active
worker for woman suffrage until the
European war broke out, but that she
ceased wor' king for the cause when
prominent sufffagists loudly pro.
claimed that women must ignore the
