Won Kissing Revealed
German Conquest Design.

Copies of the political testament
left behind by the late Baron Won
Bissing, reveal the Germanic desire
for conquest in a spirit Of ruthlessness
that fits well into the general German
spirit. Won Kissing, ruthless military
governor of Belgium, commended that
lgi must be Germanized COM
pletely. AS the Hamburger Nachrich-
ten quotes Won Kissing:
There lis no prospect that we shall
ever be able to conclude with the king
OF Belgians and his government q
peace by which Belgium will remain
IN n German sphere of power, and
" is impossible that the ouadruple
entente, over the heads Of its allies.
shall ever accept our peace demands
with regard to Belgium. It only re-
matns for us, therefore, to avoid DUR
Ing the peace negotiations all discus
sion about the form Of the annexa-
ton, and to apply nothing but the
right of conquest.
ION the most various occasions the
English have described the right Of
conquest as the healthiest and SIM
plest kind of right, and we can read
IN Machiayefif that he who desires to
take possession of q country will be
compelled to remove the King or
Regent even by killing him.
rThese are grave decisions. but they
must be taken, for we are concerned
with the welfare and the future Of

have glanced at the figures with Indifference, and turned
to something else. But bulk all those profits together.
and name them all in a breath, and we become startled
by the immensely Of 1t.
The government is proceeding wisely in taxing heav-
lily those concerns whose profits are materially enhanced
as a direct result of war conditions. There has never
been any doubt that it would do so. There are many
Of those concerns. and all will be required to do their
share. In some cases the proposed taxes may be In
equitable. In some cases protests have been made by
men who had no proper ground for protest. But taking
the country over, business men expect to be taxed, and
are willing to be taxed heavily for the cost of the war.
and the Intent of congress is that they shall be taxed
heavily.

WAR

Apparently the kaiser has the weather to thank for
the fact that the drubbing just administered to him is not
worse than it is. The entente offensive in Flanders was
entirely successful in that the purpose sought was gained
at the time and in the manner planned: that important
manently occupied; that thousands Of German prisoners
were captured and sent to the rear, while quantities of
cannon and ammunition were taken; and that the work
was carried out on the part of the allies with a loss unus-
ually slight for a major engagement.
But. when all that wa done, rain fell in great deluges
and made the following up Of the victory for the time
being impossible. This was due in part to the character
of the ground over which the battle was fought. Most
Of the territory is flat, traversed by a few small streams.
and threaded by canals. A great deal of ground has
been flooded, and the rains have transformed most Of II
into a morass. But flooded ground is but one of the diff
ficulties with which the attacking forces have to contend.
AS is well known, the men who handle the big guns sell
dom see the object at which their fire is directed. Range
and direction are given them, and their fire is guided by
signals from airplanes which are within view Of the OBJ
jective. Without the airplanes shooting IL largely at ran
dom. The weather following Tuesdays great blow pre-
vented the use Of the airplanes, and It was necessary to
halt the offensive. This, of course, will give the enemy
time to gather his forces and stiffen his resistance.
The weather has on more than one occasion played
into the hands of the Germans. Last year the great Of
fensive on the somme was checked before its completion
by the premature closing in of winter. The results then
sought have been attained, but that which would have
been done in the autumn was postponed until spring, and
the Germans were given just that much breathing space.
The kaiser is hard put to it to transform actual de-
feats into the appearance Of victory for his forces for the
delectation of his people. The official bulletins from Ber-
lin treat the Flanders battle as a German victory, and the
emperor has so little sense of the ridiculous that he con-
gratulated Crown Prince Ruprecht on his success.
OF course all this is for the qualification Of the Ger
mans at home. The fiction which they are asked to be-
lieve is that the allied forces attempted to break through
the German lines to the Belgian coast, and because they
did not reach the coast the Germans have won a victory.
We may we'll believe that the British and the French, and
the Americans who will soon join them, have their eyes
on the Belgian coast. And the present attack is aimed
in that direction. But the allied forces realize as we'll as
anyone can that there is a lot Of hard fighting ahead be-
fore the coast is won. Perhaps it will be abandoned as
the advanced line was abandoned last spring. In that case
we will have another Hindenburg victory, and the Ger
mans will fool the allies by making them a present of
what they expect to win by fighting.

EXEMPTIONS

In addition to the lis men who have already en-
listed, Grand Forks county must furnish ZIG men for
military service under the draft law. The names Of the
men of the county have been listed in the order in which
they are drawn, and a sufficient number of these will be
called up in their order to provide the necessary quota
after all who are entitled to exemption have been de-
clared exempt. E
The notice which each man Of this group received
ON q given day and at a given hour to the board for
his claim for exemption, if he makes one. will be consid-
cred. Certain officials are exempt, as are all who are en-
gagged in the government service on work necessary for
the carrying on of the war. OF these latter Grand Forks
county will have few. Persons with others wholly de-
pendent on them will be exempt, but the facts in each
case must be declared and proven by competent wit
nesses.
IN the matter of industrial exemption the board has
certain discretionary powers, but its decisions are sub
5ect to review by the district board. The individual must
be able to show that his presence in the occupation in
which he is engaged is necessary to the continuance of
that work, and that the work itself is necessary to the
prosecution Of the war.
The exemption Of any number of persons will not
change the number that must be supplied by this county.
When one man is exempted the next in order is called,
and so on until one is found who is not exempt. Two
hundred and eighteen men will be taken from this coun-
ty. in any event, and a proportionate number from every
ether county in the state. The question is not how many
men shall be sent. but what particular men from each
community must go. The exemption of one increases
the liability of others. and the boards are required to
scan every case closely, and to make no exemptions ex-
cept for sufficient cause.

HIIO. June Acting upon instruc.

this condition Of affairs, but when II Is
considered that the hgnres represent
only those residing In the city limit as
prescribed BY law, and that the same
plantation camps were included in the
former and last census, and that there
