memory all OF the agony Of parting
with her loved one, all OF her desola-
ton and loss. Every time she catcnes
a glimpse of her veil snrouded Inquire
in the mirror she sees herself as a
somber ghost walginG through mid
night blackness and grief. she loses
interest in life, nothing seems worth
while with death forever looking over
her shoulder. She becomes morbid
and hysterical and loses her perspect'
i've on life.
This unavailing sorrow. these futile
tears, this deliberate darkening or
everything with shrouding crepe avails
nothing 1t cannot bring back the
dead. It can be no comfort to them
in the far heaven to which they have
gone. It is utter folly, and worse than
folly, for 1t incapacitates the woman
for meeting properly the situation that
faces her; it wrecks her own health
and makes her sacrifice the living to
the dead.
In peace times q woman may indulge
herself in the luxury Of costly mourn
ing and a debauch Of tears and grief,
but now there Is no room for either
Thousands Of women who have been
comfortably supported by men who
were competent money makers are
going to find themselves not only
widowed, fatherless and brotherless,
but forced out into the world to earn
their own living. They will need all
the strength and courage they can
muster They will need to get over"
their grief as soon as possible, not fos.
ter it, and they can best do this by
leaving off the insignia Of death that
will remind them constantly of their
loss.
I hope that the women of America
will rise above the heathenish custom
of decking themselves out in black to
show that they grieve. There will be
no need of Haunting personal grief,
for at the bier Of every soldier who
dies for his country the whole nation
will bow in sorrow, and his memory
will be held in immortal honor so long
as history lasts.

Germany Spending Millions In
Propaganda To influence Public
e Opinion In SUiss Republic

started a whole series of news agen-
cies through which to distribute their
news. Soon. however, these agencies
added another and vastly more i'm
portant function, that OF collecting
and transmitting news from coun-
tries at war with Germany-news.
however carefully colored " not &C
tually distorted. 1t was in this direc&
ton that the German propaganda
began to be dangerously effective.
While German newspapermen
themselves could only roost along the
Italian border at Lugano, and the
French at Geneva, and transmit
colored news from Italian and French
newspapers to Germany, the neutral
Swiss correspondents of the socalled
Swiss" agencies had free access to
Italy and France. They carefully
chose all the misleading. even though
technically accurate, news they
could squeeze by the censor. II a SEN
sattonal and uninfiuential deputy in
the French or Italian chamber makes
an attack on the government, IL is
faithfully flashed to Switzerland; il
a score of women in Rome threw
stones during a protest meeting,
Switzerland heard Of the "rioting"
that is gravely menacing the estab-
llshed order in Italy.
With Americas entry into the
war the agencies went step farther
and rendered another important
service to Germany, for some of them
began to send, both to Switzerland
and to Germany. distorted news from
the United States. Again and again
the reliable, the genuinely Swiss
journals, issued denials or published
the correct news. The first effect was
not to be corrected by later stories.

TESTIMONY IN
FLOOD DAMAGE
CASE ABOUT In

C. c. Wattam, court reporter for
BurIeigh county, was in Fargo Sat
ur1ay en- route to Bismarck from
Paramount, N. D.. where the hearing
has been held last week in the mil
lfon-dolIar flood damage case Of the
State Of North Dakota against Min
rosetta.
Tie hearing at Paramount is q
continuation Of the one held in ST.
Paul which lasted i've weeks. It is
expected that Assistant Attorney
General Bronson, who is handling
the case for the State Of North Da-
kota, will have the testimony from
the farmers OF this state in by the
end of this week. Assistant Attor-
ney General J. z. Palmer Of Min
nesota, Is handling the Minnesota
end of the case.
With the completion Of the testi-
mOny, from the North Dakota farm
ers whose lands have been damaged
by the alleged overflows, the case
viii be taken to st. Paul where ex-
pert rehuttal testimony will be given
by North Dakota engineers.
Two thousand pages of testimony
was taken during the five weeks
hearing held in st. Paul. The hearing
is being held before W. d. Douglas Of
st. Paul, appointed referee by the
United States supreme court.
According to the testimony given
by the North Dakota farmers at the
hearing in Paramount this week and
which viii be resumed Monday, they
have grown no crops in that section
since 1915. Most of the flooded land
has grown up to cat-tails and weeds.

Berne, Oct. neutrality-suspicious.
OF The Associated Press.)-Probably
at no time since the war began has
German propaganda been more ag-
excessively active in Switzerland than
at present.
Those who are following the Ger
man campaign declare that uncount-
ed millions are being spent, and that
since the day, not so very many
months ago, when counter efforts
were begun-counter efforts that
with a comparatively Insignificant
amount OF money have accomplished
wonders by their tact and cleverness.
The German propaganda Is oper-
ated in score Of ways, but the chief
method is the presentation of the
German viewpoint and German news
in the papers, but because Ii is
clumsy ii is vastly less effective than
the outlay should warrant. In brief.
Germany has tried and ls trying to
influence Swiss public opinion as if
the Swiss people could clearly I'M
derstand the German way OF think
ing.
AS the basis OF fits propaganda

FORESTS Are
HEWN DOWN
Beaver Becomes Pest In
Country West Of The
Missouri

Mandan, N. D., Nov. 12.-Beavers
in the Missouri valley and west of
the river have become so plentiful
as to become a pest. Young forests
planted by thrifty homesteaders have
been hewn down, almost over night;
beaver dams have INSTRUCTED and
overlooked creeks and rivers, and
the treacherous barriers have proved
dangerous traps for unwary cattle.
Beaver pelts have never possessed
a higher market value: the skins,
with the cold weather preceding the
open season, should be in prime con-
dition and 1t is expected that trap
pers will make thousands of dollars
during the two months when beaver
will be legitimate prey once more.
The season for beaver in the state
of North Dakota opens Jan. 10 and
continues to March 10.
