to be especially insisted upon this year
is birth registration, that Fargo may
not again be branded with the stigma
due to statistics which are misleading
because so many births in this city
are not registered. In connection with
Mrs. Morton's report, Mrs. Robert
Clendening spoke OF the work of the

Club Has Had Busy Year.
The Fine Arts club has come to be
recognized as an organization always

endar year Just closing has been a
busy one, was convincingly shown in
the inspiring annual address given by
the president, and in the annual reports
OF the other general ofilcers OF the
club. The reports both as to member
ship and finances of the club were most
encouraging and the prospects for an
ensuing year Of still greater helpful
ness are bright.

Americans OF Every Racial Tie Nest
TAarwa


New York Evening Mail: The Zim-
hermann note has taught a terrible les
son to 0erman-Americans,a and one that
they will never forget 1t has taught
terests might arise between the coun-
try in which they were born and the
country to which they owe allegiance.
They have learned that every country
its own interests alone.
They have learned that the country
OF their dreams. of their cradle songs
ana childhood proposes q plan to strike
US at our weakest point, to turn loose
the bandits of Mexico and the hordes
OF the east, and continue lighting with
them until we are forced to ceds to
Mexico the states OF New Mexico. Ari-
not how much more.
The lesson is not only. for German
Americans. but for all Americans, no
matter what their racial ties. 4 great
states would lean upon England as
many Gerrnan-Americans have been
disposed to lean upon Germany. In
pered snormousiy in South ma America erica

found II to her interest to support our
Monroe doctrine with her naval power;
can commerce and exports in south
America, our interests may clash with
England's interests, and then only the
strength that we Americans can WELD
ourselves in our own defense will pro-
tect US.
We cannot depend upon any foreign
nation or its protestations OF friend
ship for our security. Free men de-
fend themselves. ....,.
The time is at hand for the last
measure of sacrifice in preparation.
The first step OF preparation must be
spiritual. German-Americans and Eng.
lish-Americans must meet for common
action with a view single to our ma
tional interests. On that basis they
can and must come together.

descriptions of the characteristics of

thorough and well arranged. Mrs. Cal
lander called attention to the fact that
while Germany has long been in the
forging ahead in this regard, the fact
being admitted by the Germans them
selves. Mrs. Callander touched briefly
on the lives and more important works
Of the better known German and Aus
trian composers, delightful illustration
of their work being afforded by musical
numbers given by various other club
members.
One of the first to be mentioned was
Korngold. a composer only nineteen
years of age, whose Sonata On. 6 was
eharmingly played by Miss Marguerite

sents the futurist music in Germany,
and who although very popular with
many, is still largely criticised for the
popularity of his work.
At the conclusion of this German
program, Miss Marie Mccormick de-
lighted the club, whose guest she was,
with an informal program Of songs,
among her numbers being The Birth
day, by Huntington Woodman; The
