PEACE PROSPECTS.

Inc greatest disaster VI thS NEA
from the standpoint of the Allies, is
the Russian collapse.
The Italian setback is only tenn
porary reverse, and at most can only
delay the execution of the plans Of
the Allies.
But certain it is that the present
aspect of the war situation offers no
hope of an early peace The armistice

control the Russian government viii
not be approved, nor entered into by
the other nations fighting the Huns.
The New York World has asked four
of the greatest English strategists for
their opinions on the probable term
nation of the war Their replies all
indicate that the men most intimately
in touch with the war situation do not
believe any peace is possible for two
years yet, at the very earliest.
''No peace until Germany is beaten,
says Lord Syndenham
Viscount French, former command
er-in-chief of the British forces in
France, says he is thinking entirely in
terms Of war at present I'VE must
forego all thoughts of peace At no
period has it been of such vital nee
essity for the Allies to concentrate
their utmost energies On the most Wig
orous prosecution of the war
There will be at least two more
years of war" was the answer of Ad-
miral Bridge.
Peace is not in sight" states Ad-
miral Henderson, adding 1T will he
this time next year before we can
even think of it,
The Russian debacle will release
nearly million German prisoners. E
will also relieve a million German
troops, who can be used on other
fields against the Allies 1t has the
effect of the greatest victory for Gere-
many of the whole war 1t is the
most crushing blow the Allies have
yet received, yet it has not staggered
them and, apparently, is moving them
to renewed efforts and inspiring them
with more determination. 1t is really
wonderful that the Russian collapse
has not entailed more serious conse-
quences for the Allies.
1t is silly to say that the war has
just begun, but it may be truthfully
stated that it is beginning all over
again. The alignment is entirely DIFF
ferent. The participation of the Unit
ed States, the richest and most pow
erful of all the nations, as a fresh
combatant is the factor which is 60
ing to decide the war.
Without the United States, the Allies
would be hopelessly beaten. If the
war were ended today, as prize-fghts
are sometimes abruptly terminated,
Germany would be the victor. All the
world, with the exception of America
would be at the mercy of the Tou-
tonic conqueror And so it is now
the burden and the purpose of the
United States to win the war-receiv-
ing assistance from, rather than Civ
ing it to, the other Allies.
And until the united States energies
triumphant from the conflict there
will be no peace

in case of war with Germany. The ar

MINNESOTA BIRTH
DAY CELEBRATED
SIXTY-SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY
OF NORTH STAR STATE OBJ
SERVED MARCH3
NATIVES HAVE ORGANIZATION
TERRITORY CREATED IN 1849-
FORMERLY PART OF WIS
CONSIN AND MICHIGAN

On March 3rd, the Native Sons Of
Minnesota celebrated her sixty-sevent
anniversary of the birthday of their
state. For on that date, 1849, the act
creating the territory of Minnesota
passed congress, and from that time
Minnesota appears as separate
political division on the map of the
United States. Previous to that time
all of the country between Michigan
and the Missouri river belonged to
Wisconsin territory.
In 1916 Wisconsin was ready to
enter statehood, but the people along
the st. Croix valley and round about
Fort Smelling wished to form a gov
ernment of their own, and after sew
eral unsuccessful attempts, finally
persuaded the National Government
to create new territory called Min
nesota, taking it's name from the larg-
est river wholly within it's borders,
and at that time the principal center
of population.
Some ten years later the territory
was considered large enough to be-
come a state, and while the 3rd of
March is not statehood day it is the,
day that the state was named in it's
infancy.
Minnesota, as most everyone knows,
means Sky Colored in the Sioux Ian
guage. This name was given to the
river now known by that name, but
at one time called the St. Peter.
Some of the early settlers were strong
on sanity names as for instance: st.
+ Paul, St. Anthony Falls, st. Anthony
village, Fort st. Anthony, soon chang
ing to Fort Smelling, and St. Peter
river now the Minnesota. NG,
& The early settlers off, Minnesota
were called gophers, following, no
doubt the Indian custom of adopting
some animal as mascot or totem for
clan. They were proud to be called
gophers to distinguish themselves
from the badgers of Wisconsin or the
wolverines of Micigan. il
For number of years the older
natives of Minnesota, resident in Min
neapolis, have made it a custom to
gather around the banquet table once
a year renew old friendship, rehearse
old adventures and to extoll the many
advantages of Minnesota as a place
of birth. The last few years these
banquets have been fixed for the 3rd
of March, the birthday of Minnesota.
