Russell Urges That Government
Go Limit to Smash Autocra-
cy and Save Democracy
DOESN'T WANT TO SEE
ANY LADY-LIKE WAR
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL

BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
(Tribune Staff Writer.)
The branch of German war strategy
that is actively carried on by American
pacifists, doughfaces and copperheads
is now back in the second line of en-
|trenchments.
These elements could not keep the
United States from defending its
rights and so they are now trying to
make our part in the war a mere
farce.
In and out of congress they are lin
ed up to prevent the sending of any
American troops to the battle line;
and every other move that would have
a punch in it.
Before we yield an inch to any back
fire and sneaking treachery of that
kind we ought to take good square
slant at what it means.
Nation Now on Trial ...#
This nation is now on trial before
the world. All eyes are trained on US.
Two years and a half of tame submis-
sion of humilating insults and to re-
peated blows in the face that no ot.l.
er nation would endure have convinc-
ed most of mankind that we are too
weak or too s0dden in money grabbing
to resent anything. They think we
are beneath any respect. They think
we are lot of cowardly spectators
and dollar hunters without patriotism,
without cohesion and without efficien-
cy.
If we crawl under the bed now and
allow other men to do our stunt and
take our risk and make our sacrifice,
all men around the world will say that
this idea of America is exactly and lit
orally right.
In all history that stain will be fix
ed on us. That in this sup
preme struggle for liberty and democ-
racy America skulked. All the other
free peoples stood up like men and
did their part. But America squlked.
You would have to rewrite the ma
tiOnal anthem. It would have to read:
Oh say can you see by the dawn's
early light
America, the skulker, that fed from
the fight.

REAVE STILL HOLDS
JOB AS CHAIRMAN OF
STATE GAME BOARD

J. B. Reave of Beach is still chair
man of the state game and fish COM
mission so far as any public records
have anything to say on the subject.
although Mr.. Reave was named Ap-
ril /, 1915, for a term Of but two
years, and in spite Of the fact that
Section 8, Chapter 161, is construed
to mean that his successor should
have been appointed on or before
April l, 1917.
Capitol folk are inclined to Won
der il Governor Frazier has not over
looked another bet. It is generally
known that the governor has had
another man in mind for the job,
but his commission has not been filed.
The question is one somewhat sim
liar to that involved in the board OF
regents case, in which counsel for
Scow and Power, whose terms ex-
pire July l, 1917, contend that they
will hold over until another legis-
lative session because Governor
Frazier did not nominate successors
on or before the date specified by the
statutes. George M. Hogue of Steele
and John NJ. Kirk of Bottineau.
Reaves' associates on the game and
fish board, were named April l, 1916,
for terms Of four years.

OF the confederate general who led
the famous charge at Gettysburg,
and whose son was killed in the

"This applies to the women as

'The American women of today
need to develop some of the spirit
that made the women of the confed-

the success of their soldiers. They
were happy in wearing it.
"HOmespun material at s cents a
yard was used by the girls and wo-
men in civil war times, and we had
none of the present day frills and
furbelOws. But we had just as much
attention and just as many beaux as
three girls of today.
"We. learned, too, in those days,
not to waste anything, and to hus-
band every pound of -four, lard and
meat as If it would be our last. The

MEASURE OF SAFETY.

Washington. April 6.-Seizures of
German merchant ships in American
ports, according to all official state
ment today, are measures Of safety
for the ships themselves and adjoin-
ing property. The crew aboard are
regarded as German reserVists on
German territory. Two courses it
was said today, are open to the gov
ernment. The ships may be pres
sed into service, and paid for at the
close Of the war, or they may be con-
fscated altogether without violating
the terms OF the Prussian- American
treaty of 1928. The first move prob
ably will be to repair the damage
done to the machinery of the ships
by their crews on orders from the
German government when diplomat
ic relations we're severed.
