HIS EYE ON COAL DEALERS.

Uncle Sam is keeping his eye on
the coal dealers.
The Offlcial Bulletin, the govern
ment's own newspaper, makes this
announcement: I'm it's efforts to in
sure that the consumer gets anthracite
coal at moderate prices, the Federal
Trade commission is requiring opera
tors to report weekly all orders ac-
copied, together with the prices for the
same. The producers of very great
proportion of the tonnage are selling
their output at moderate prices, so
that the high premiums charged by a
number of operators during recent
weeks are beginning to disappear from
tie market"
North Dakota is interested in see
ing that the high premiums" stay
disappeared, and her representatives
at Washington should support any
measure that tightens the govern
ment's control of coal prices.

Chicago News: In the present war
cavalry cannot well be used effectively
because of the trench fighting. For
the first time in history cavalry is faced
by swifter, deadlier, more mobile
arm-the airplane. 74
But the airplane itself, effective as 1t
has proved to be, has been used, in a
sense, with European conservatism. To
be sure, the embattled armies now have
their thousands of air scouts, and air
cruisers, but one ventures to believe
that were a Napoleon or a Lee in
charge Of the operations he would de-
velop the new factor as Napoleon de-
veloped cavalry. The time apparently
is coming for the use OF airplanes in
clouds, in hosts, in armies.
The extraordinary usefulness of the
air fighter has been conclusively' dem
onstrated. It is not possible that the
American mind, with its genius for dis
carding the old and developing the
new, will exalt the aerial factor IN war

ENeLANps ANSWER.

An explosion that could be heard in
London. 40 miles away, was Eng
lands answer to Hindenburg's boast
that the allied offensive was at an end.
1t tore away miles of the landscape,
and struck terror to the hearts of the
German soldiers.
We hope it was heard in Berlin. We
hope it carried to the Imperial palace
the message: "Your honor is APP
preaching" It was, we hope, the be-
ginning Of the avenging of Belgium;
the answer to the German "frightful-
ness; the response to the appeals of
the tortured men, women and babies
of the little martyred kingdom. We
hope the Prussian war lords hear in
that blast, the forerunner Of the Eng
ashland American-guns at the gates

awe CAN BEGIN AT ONCE"

When American soldiers arrive in
France they will find their officers
awaiting them; their quarters pre-
pared; their supplies on hand; avia-
tors drilling.
General Pershing seemed impatient
of even the time required to have an
audience with the king. He express
ed the wish that there would be no
formal entertaining, and was eager to
get to the front as quickly as possible
and resume his work, which was in
progress all the way across the Allan
tic.
One of these evenings, Forum sub
scribers will be reading a headline
across the front page "Pershings
troops arrive in France. When they
do, the same answer can be given
that the commander of the American
destroyers gave: I'VE can begin at

ness of war, we seem to be making a
pretty good job of it.

ONLY ONE RELIEF SOCIETY.

Governor Frazier, in recent speeches
in North Dakota, has made appeals for
public support for the Army and Navy
league relief work, which consisted of
buying extra comforts for the men.
The relief work of the Army and
Navy league has been turned over to
the Red Cross society. The Red Cross
is the recognized relief society of the
country, and President Wilson has
urged that all energies be centered on
it. The public should not support the
relief work Of the Army and Navy
league. but should divert donations
intended for It to the Red Cross So
ciety.

A local confectioner called for a

for two dozen eggs. Gerald was detail

would consume thirty minutes At the

the eggs, and was promptly called on

THE LEAGUE OR WILSON,

Germany has found new ally.
Prussian junkerdom's bungling
attempts to advance "peace with
out annexations or indemnities"
through the Socialist conference
at Stockholm, failed, but they fell
on fertile soil and sprouted in the
Nonpatriotic league.
The Civil war had its "copper"
heads. North Dakota will prob
ably have to bear the stigma Of
being the home of the league
which adopted resolutions last
week that are a stab in the back
for every American soldier.

BONUS FOR WHEAT
RAISING IN FRANCE

The French Chamber Of Deputies has
nsssed a bill intended to promote the
cultivation OF wheat. 1t provides, sc-
cording TO a report from the United
States commercial attache at Paris, for
the payment of bonus Of francs per
ouintal for wheat harvested in France,
becinning with the harvest Of 1917
about 16 cents per bushel at the nor
NAL rate Of exchange, 1913 cents per
franc): also. of bonus Of 20 francs
for every hectare devoted to wheat
raising beyond the area devoted to this
cron during the preceding year; and,
furthermore, that the payment shall
take effect with the crop Of 1917 and
shall continue until the abolition OF the
Government fixing Of prices for wheat.
The law Of July 90. 1916, fixed the
maximum price OF wheat at 33 francs
ner quintal, that price TO prevail
throughout the duration of hostillties
and during the year following demoo-
ilization. At the normal rate OF ex-
change the bonus based on wheat area
eouals about s1.56 per acre, and the
maximum price Of SO francs per gum
tai is equivalent to about sl'74 per
bushel of 60 pounds.
