all able bodied men in the county be-
tween the ages Of 18 and As who are
fit for military service at the annual
meeting Of the township assessors

sors.
Every year the men who would be
subject to military service are re-
corded in the county, and in view Of
the war with Germany this phase of
the assessors activities is of especial
importance throughout the United
States.

CR0OKST0N JAM
NOT FELT HERE
Despite Flood of City Park and
Damage to Bridge, Water Re-
cedes in Grand Forks.

Although a serious ice jam has just
been experienced in the Red Lake
river at Crookston, causing the city
park Of that community to be flood
ed and %inundating considerable other
low property, the high waters Of the
Red Lake and Red rivers at this
point continued to subside today.
A serious jam formed around the
main traffic bridge in Crookston
spanning the Red Lake river at Jer-
ONES addition and it was seriously
damaged. After dynamiting the ice
all day the jam was broken up and
the released cakes rapidly passed out
and relieved the situation. Many
boards were broken off Of the Crook
ston bridge and for a time pedestrians
or traffic could not cross. A crew
of men was immediatelyput to work
repairing the damage and normal
traffic has been resumed over the
bridge. Before the jam was broken
up the entire city park was under wa
ter. but the situation is today report
ed much improved.
In view of the fact that much of
the ice has already passed out Of the
Red river. no serious consequences

Five Great Men in History.

In the generation that saw the birth and the earlier years of the republic five men stand out-GeOrge Washing ton, Benjamin Franklin. Thomas lief ferson. Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall. says James Bryce in thr Youths Companion. Whether or not the last four of them were great men in the full sense of the word is 8 queS- tion on which people were not agreed in the. lifetime of those four and are not agreed today; hut everyone felt then as everyone feels now that Wash ington WAS great. He Is a world fig 'ure. In mere intellectual power he vas not superior to the other four. He had less originality and . less. wide range of capacity than .Franklin,. less versa. tile, activity of mind than Jefferson. less brilliant gifts for .c6nstructive Rol- Icy and The. ,exls"sitiSl thereof than Hamilton. less logical grasp and pene. .tration of thought than Marshall; but be rose superior to them all in . cer- .taip. massive strength of character. in stately dignity. in . calm hrmness of purpose that neither. the spailes pos the frowns of fortune could divert from the course his Judgment had approved. So his primacy was undisputed then and has remained undisputed ever since, ... ... .,.,,

IT IS unfortunate that General Frederick Stanley Maude, who has just died in Mesopotamia, could not live to enjoy the fruits of his cam paign. Thanks to his wonderful or ganization and administrative ability as we'll as to his generalshjp. the Mesopotamia campaign was made an important factor in the. war at tiple when 1t was Tagging into condition of doubt and uncertainty. At the present time the British are within striking distance of Jerusalem. and the Berlin press says that if that city. famous in Biblical history. should fall into the ha1ds of the enemy, Ger mapy's whole policy in the Orient would be seriously menaced. The progress of the British against the Truks gives rise to the belief that which has been in the hands of the Moslems since before the Crusades. will be in possession of the British within a few days. General Maude's great campaign approaches it's climax just as taps are sounded for him.

and moderation, dreamers and ideal
 ists who opposed ezcesses but who
 were ready to sacrifice the royal fam fly if necessary. They played with forces they could not control ana when the Jscobins and the revolu- tionary Acknowledgements. Ma rat and Danton-the Girondists like wise were sacrificed by the ultra-rad- icals who instituted reign of terror and slaughter.
 In Russia the duaa members, the moderates, correspond somewhat to the Girondists. They were intellec- tuals, thinkers, dreamers, and 1t may be said that the conservative social ists, led by Kerensky, really belonged to this group of constitutional demo- crats. But their day was short. as we know now. and we see the Bolshe- wiki, or Maximalists-the extrern. radicals-in control. as the Jacobins wretsed the reins of rule from the Girondists. There is a striking diff ference, however, in the fact that the awful excesses committed in France have not as yet been committed in Russia. There has not been a politi- cal slaughter like that of the days of the guillotine, and the deposed empe-: TOT, who still enjoys an abbreviated liberty, has been treated with mark ed courtesy, considering the circum- stances of the situation. The world may we'll be thankful for the idealism which has so far causer revolutionary Russia to shudder at the thought of personal vengeance.
 One noteworthy contrast Is to be found in the fact that the Russian revolution has produced no great leaders. Kerensky was the most con- servative and promising. but he can no longer be called Russia's man of the hour. The French upheaval pro- duced leadership-not always of the most desirable kind-but leadership. It Is not improbable or course, tnat some genius will rise in Russia to meet the crisis and when he comes he will be given a hearing, for there is said to be a passion for order Tn Russia, even in its present state of turmoil.
 Will Russia. like France, unite against a foreign fce? Revolutionary France furnished Napoleon who brot it quickly from a state of anarchy and poverty to the most powerful na- tion in Europe. The twentieth cen- tury is awaiting a Napoleon to take charge of the affairs of state in Rus sia and bring it to a state of triumph and sanity to a place among the na- tions of the world.

This little story. which appears to be an orphan, is now going around:
 "rm going to the patriotic meeting this evening"" said the citizen of Ger man origin.
 "No." said the wife, you musn't 90. You'll get into trouble, sure."
 But he went, despite her remOn. strance. Just before midnight, on the last street car, he stumbled into his domicile. The good wife was sitting up for him.
 When. he appeared his eyes were black and blue, his face was scratched and puffed. his collar had been torn from his shirt and he looked as though he had been rolled in the dirt.
 "Ah," said the wife. ''I told you not to 50 to that meeting. that something would happen to yOu."
 "It was not at the meeting" ex- plained the husband. "The meeting was all right. There were three speeches. and. like everybody else. applauded everyone of them. The hand played the "Star-Spangled Ban ner." Everybody stood up. So did I.
 Tt was after the meeting. l was coming home on the street car. The car was crowded. Then woman on the car sneezed and I said 'Gesund' heit!' Then everything happened"

Much division of opinion exists in Japan regarding China's declaration of war against Germany. says the East and West News. Japan took the fnal step for two reasons: First, the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and, second, a deep-f0unded belief in the necessity for solidarity of the far eastern pow CTS. The Osaka Asahi is strongly op- posed to China's participation in the worlds war. It says: "China decided to take the step, on the arrival of Vice-President Feng Kuo-chang at Pc kin. Nothing could be more regret table than for an Independent nation to be forced by others to do anything 1t doesn't want to do. The national existence of any nation that yields to coercion or undue persuasion is im- periled! Some people regarded Japan's deelsratiOn. of war against Germany merely from the viewpoint of the alli. ance with England, but we favored Japan's dominance in this part of the Pacific"
 The editor of the Asahi wants to know what Feng. Kuo-chang meant when he favored . declaration of war by China against Germany, but ob- jected strenuously to joining the en- tente powera Does he. mean that, like the United States, Chipa's deelara- tion of war shall be . separate actf" asks the Asahi. ''The grave fact is that her present course was forced upon her. Whether she joins the en- tente or not matters little for the present. The serious question is, can China be independent from now on. wardf'

As 2 result '; etfoets are now being made by some merchants to export Homemade pulp.

THE RUSSIAN AND FERENCE REVOLUTIONS.

Students of history frequently comment on the similarity of the cir cumstances of the Russian revolution to the famous French revolution of 1798. In their fundamental aspects the two revolutions are startingly alike and this circumstances often leads to the statement that the eigh- teenth century in France has repeated itself in Russia in the twentieth.
 The history of France under Louis XIV and Louis XIV is story of tyr amy, degredation and profligacy at- tributed to the Bourbon monarchs Louis XIV and his beautiful young wife Marie Antoinnette, the victims of the revolution, were sacrificed for the villainies of their predecessors. and not because they themselves were de- serving of their fate. In Russia Mich olas II, last of the Romanoff dynasty, was also largely the victim of a sys- tenn. He was man of kindly motives in spite of the crimes committed in his name, but the real criminals were the aristocrats about him who played upon his weakness to further their own ends.
 The French revolution was pro- foundly influenced by the American revolution against the British yoke. 'Rousseau's works on equality and liberty found a receptive people. When the nation demanded that the states general be called the death knell of Bourbonism was sounded. But the nobles and ecclesiastics refused to sit in the same room with the coAmons and when the distracted king ordered the third estate to disperse the people took charge of the government. The, defiance of Mirabeau of the monarchs command, seconded by Marquis de Lafayette was the prelude to an orgy of anarchy and bloodshed the like of which civilization had never known.
 There Is striking parallel to be found in Russia. The aristocracy. honeycombed with graft and corrup- tion and even with treason. made a serious blunder when it demanded of the czar that the duma. which was openly charging the government with treachery to the people be dissolved. And the history of 17ss was repeated when the duma, like the states gen. eral. openly defied the ruling autocrat and took affairs into its own hands.
 There is little surprise to be found in the further fact that hunger was a mighty influence in each of these two unheavals. Poverty-strfcken, tax ridden France rose in arms as did also the near-serfs of Russia. Food riots in Petrograd s.s of the frst spaks of internal strife.
 In France the moderates were first in control-the Girondists, as they were known. men of genius, eloQuence
