TRENCH TALES.

. -"Heineys" is the
new name applied by the Ca
; nadians to the Germans. With
many units it has superseded
Fritz, Boche and Hun.
1.-The preliminary barrage,"
said a Scottish Canadian N. c. o.
in describing an assault, sound
ed like someone slithering his
hand up the notes of piano
and down again. The guns
must have set the Heiney's
teeth rafting like peas in box.
Before the attack we spotted
sentry in sap and were told
to get him. We went a long way
around, but he must have heard
us splashing in the mud, for he
beat it down a dug-out. When
we got up to the sap, we found
it had little dinner bell hang
ing to a wire. He was sup
posed to ring it when raid
started. But he was an oldish
guy with glasses and he didn't
think there was time to do it.
There wasn't another soul in

Take Steps to Stamp Out
Organized Opposition

HEAVY PENALTY In SIGHT
German Influence Reported to Have
Been Directly Traced in Some
Localities.

WASHINGTON officials
out all organized opposition to the reg
istration of men eligible to military
duty. German influence has been
taced to its source in some quarters
and investigations are under way in
many other places.
Many Plots Found.
Scattered over the country are spo-
radio efforts to interfere with regis
tration, but officials here do not be-
lieve they are connected. The Texas
case in which the German influence
is clearly established and the arrest
of two mountaineers in southwestern
Virginia are the most conspicuous in
stances.
The two Virginians, William Mccoy
characters in the feud regions, are in
Jail at Roanoke and government agents
sa ythey have complete evidence to
show they plotted organized resistance
to the draft as we'll as wholesale
attack upon the landed people of the
vicinity whose property they intended
to divide among themselves.
Secret Agents Watch.
AS the day" of registration draws
near, the department of justice and
other agencies of the government are
carefully watching for evidences of
resistance to the law a dnare prepar-
ed to deal with them promptly
''These arrests said AtAtorney Gen
eral Gregory in an official statement
referring to the proceedings already
under way, should be accepted by the
country generally as warning against
interfering with the enforcement OF
the provisions of the new army law.
''They merely demonstrate what the
department of Justice proposes to do
in every case where attempts are now
made to hinder or discourage regis
trationL"
A section of the espionage bill deal
ing with interference with army regis
tration provides penalties of 20 years
Imprisonment and $4,000 fine. This
section of the bill says:
What 1t VIII Cost.
"Whoever when the United States is
at war shall wilfully make or convey
false reports or false statements with
intent to interfere with the operation
or success of the military or naval
forces of the United States or to pro-
mote the success of it's enemies and
whoever, when the United States is at
war, shall wilfully cause or attempt to
cause insubordination, disloyalty, mu-
tiny or refusal of duty, in the mill
tary or naval forces of the United
States, or shall wilfully obstruct the
recruiting or enlistment service of the
United States to the injury of the SER
vice of the United States shall be pun

THE FARMER WELL INFORMED

Reading an editorial in the Grand
Forks Herald for Sept. 9th compar-
ing the North Dakota farmer with the
Oklahoma farmer, one is tempted to
take issue with them in their asser-
ton that the North Dakota farmer is
poorly informed because he reads on
1y one-sided literature, whose pur-
pose is neither to convey information
nor to stimulate reasoning"
In the first place, the charge is not
true, as the North Dakota farmer is
not only an "habitual reader" but he
reads publications Of varied char
acter and Of squarely opposing views.
This stimulates reasoning and the
political revolt of the last couple of
years is the direct result of and due
solely to that reasoning.
The Grand Forks Herald, Fargo
Fargo Courier News, under DR.. Guild,
Fargo Forum and hundreds of other
lesser publications, not Of the l. w.
W. kind, has disseminated their par
ticular brand of reasoning among the
North Dakota farmers for a fourth
of a century, yea, in fact they held

of the Limberlost; authors and copy
right owners Of books, however, with
such popularity as this one are slow
to relinquish their reward. Mrs. Por-
ter knew the motto of the Broadway
Amusement Co. film; producers Of
Clean Plays" and they got the rights.
The question arose who was to
dramatic "Freckles," a book play
must stick to the text of the story
in both word and deed and this re-
quires more than a playwright; it re-
quired a knowledge of stage intrica-
cies and craftsmanship; Neil Twom-
ey "a given the assignment and he
went to work diligently. That he
succeeded even above the hopes of the
producers, is attested by four first
class companies playing on tour this
season.

DOINCS AT STATE CAPITAL

The old Greek adage that he whom
the Gods would destroy they first
make mad, would seem to apply to
a number Of the newspapers of North
Dakota. A glazing instance of the
prohibition of the news columns of
the newspapers to political ends was
the report in the Bismarck Tribune
of the farewell meeting for the boys
of the First and Second Regiments
at Bismarck last Friday night in the
municipal auditorium. A final pro-
gram was arranged by Bismarck peo-
pie, the Second Regimental Band be-
ing secured for the concert and Gov
ernor Frazier, Colonel Frank White
and Mayor Lucas Of the City Of Bis
marck were invited to be present and
speak. Attorney General William
LANCER was invited to preside. The
Bismarck Tribune steadfastly ignor-
ed the speakers by advertising the
concert. Governor Frazier was pres
ent and delivered a carefully pre-
pared and inspiring patriotic address.
In reporting the meeting, the Tribune
declared that Governor Frazier and
Attorney General LANCER were not
invited to be present at the meeting,
that they came unbidden and unwel-
come and received a cool reception
and that Frazier in his address at
tempted to defend the unpatriotic
actions of the Nonpartisan League
and the st. Paul speech Of LaFol-
lette. They rallied through several
columns the aim Of which as to con-
vince the public that public sentiment
had frightened Governor Frazier in
to the attempt of a patriotic sub
ject at a time and place where he was
not invited and not wanted.
Governor Frazier never mentioned
the Nonpartisan League, nor LaFol-
lette, nor Townley, nor did he at
tempt to defend himself from the
charges Of the Tribune and others.
He briefly reviewed the struggle of
this country for freedom and indie
pendence and declared that the world
had never seen a more just war, and
pledged his influence to secur a
speedy and successful termination.
1t would be hard to conceive a more
frank, straightforward and emphat-
ic declaration of principles than Gov
ernor Frazier %enunciated IN his adj
dress Friday night.
But this is nothing new for Gov
ernor Frazier. I have attended a
number of patriotic meetings where
the Governor had addresses and have
spoken a number of times from the
same platform and his speech Friday
night did not differ in any way essen
tial element that the speeches he has
been delivering for weeks. He is an
American to the tips of his fingers
and is now and always has beer

the field practically alone!

Thus, against tremendous odds the
North Dakota farmer has reasoned
himself out Of the letters of thrald-
ON and when a sufficient number had
seen the light, they rallied around
publications advocating principles
more compatible with the vital inter-
ests of the majority of the people.
This greatly aided the conversion
of those, whose reason had been con-
fused and beclouded (by indulging in
the unbalanced ration offered by the
Herald) and the revolution was a sue
cess.
Yes we take issue with the Herald.
The farmer of North Dakota has
arrived at the present stage by reas-
on of his sound reasoning.

The Fault In Washington

There is too much misrnd, r
standing over the large number
of exemptions being claimed un-
der the conscription law. There
is a general impression that the
quality of American youth has de-
Perforated and that great numbers
of them are trying to dodge their
duty. There is truth in This, but
it is not wholly true.
The trouble in the main is with
the way the draft law has been
presented to the people.
The one thing that has been
constantly emphasized since the
law was passed has been the ex-
emption feature. MOI duty or pa
triotism has been preached, but
the broad and beneficsnt scope of
the exemption clause has been
thoroughly and everlastingly dis
cussed from Washington. This
has had its very natural effect.
The tone of the whole. business
has been exemption, not service.
The rules when given out began
with much talk" about exemp-
tions.
AS to the quality of Americas
young man, don't forget 300, 743
of them are now voluntarily in the
country's army and navy. Put it
up to the rest of the young men
of the country in the right light
and maybe the slackers will be
few.-Minneapolis Journal.
