WARNS AGAINST
SPREAD OF PRO
GERMAN SPIRIT
No Time to be Landing Ger
mans, Says Japanese
Statesman
TERMS TEUTONIC
VICTORY CALAMITY
Could Be No Guarantee of
Peace Without Military
Strength
(By Associated Press,


Toxic, June "a warning against
the spread of pro- German sentiment
among the Japanese people has been
uttered by DIR. Inazo Nitobe, a famous
scholar. Through the columns of q
popular business organ he has de-
clared that two dangers confront his
people during the present war, The
first is the pro- German Illusion and
the second the tendency to luxurious
living.
He said: Though Japan is one of
the belligerents. we did only little
fighting at the outset of the war, and
for the rest we did nothing but make
gain. We realized unexpected profits
through war trade. Some Japanese
make no hesitation in Offering I'M
stinted tribute OF admiration at the
German altar.
This is no time for the Japanese
to indulge in lauding the Germans and
disparaging the entente peoples. II
Germany should win victory in this
war and control Europe, 1t would be
an appalling calamity for all the
states of the Orient. If the Japanese
were SO much bewitched by the splen-
did German organization as to adore
other Objectionable German qualities,
such as disregard of justice, humanity
and international treaties, it would be
a most deplorable misfortune for the
nation.
s'If the German ambitions should be
realized, Japan herself, unless she
were conquered by Germany, would
have to become ultra-military, and
sacrifice all other aims of civilization
at the altar of accumulation of warlike
weapons and military preparedness.
With a country like Germany roam
ing about at large in the world there
could never be a guarantee Of peace
without powerful military strength"
DR.. Nitobe condemns the extrava-
gance of those who have become rich
through the war, and says they are
exercising degenerating influence on
the morality Of the masses of the

An Editorial That May or May Not

Opinions.

New York World: What is the
matter with the west?' The question
has been a fruitful subject OF maya
zine and newspaper discussion ever
since America entered the great war.
Was the west really q part of the ma
ton? Had the west forgotten the honor
of the nation in a riot Of profits from
the allied demands for wheat and
horses2 Did the west actually feel that
ii was unconcerned with war against
Germany so long as the menace Of an
invasion was confined to the coast
sections?
These questions are now being an
swered We have had one answer in
the greater response Of the west over
the east to volunteering for the reg
ular army and the national guard. We
have another answer from Secretary

STILL OUT OF JAIL.

At Williston, N. D., an audi
ence that filed the armory let A
C. Townley, president of the Non
partisan league, escape arrest
after making such remarks as
these:
"The flower of the young man
hood Of this nation is going across
the water to bleed, we are told for
the honor Of the country, but 1t
needs some effort for me to be-
lieve that these young men are
going to fight for the freedom OF
democracy. I believe and fear
they are going to bleed for the
profits of the damned pirates who
profit from our food and prod
ucts. :"
And again: CT refuse to urge
you farmers to raise a larger
crop until you or they wipe out
this monstrous wrong and will
say that unless they are big
enough to control the transporta-
ton of food and coal for the
northwest I cannot see posi-
Sbility of the United States being
successful in this war.
: Those words were said in Will
liston, not in Potsdam.
: They were said two days after
saO,0OO,000 men had enrolled for
The first selective draft. They
were said when good American
scitizens are straining every nerve
to feed, clothe and arm a world
in arms against the forces of bar
harism.
What matter Belgium, Liege

: What matters France?
Z What matters the Lusitania 7
What matters the Sussex What
matters the sinking of hospital
ships, the rape of women, scores
of ships flying the Stars and

ocean without warning, the hordes

Armenian atrocities where an en-
tire race was slaughtered with

take dollars instead of lives. Our
harassed government must stop
the war on the Hun until the food
speculator is in irons, and the

The Forum hopes that when
Mr.. Townley comes to Fargo, the
members of the Home Defense
league, 100 or $50 strong, will
march into the hall, stand at at
tention during his address and
give him a chance to repeat those
remarks or make others in the
same vein. If there isn't a public
officer in the state with backbone
enough to put the speaker behind
the bars, there is enough spirit In
the Home Defense league to pre-
vent him repeating the offense.

into buying them as a patriotic duty.

OCCUPATION STORY IS
BRANDED AS FALSE
Japan Will Not Occupy Siberia If
Russia Makes Separate Peace,
Statement From Foreign Office.
CBy Associatad Press

Toxic. June S.-The story y ema-
mating from Russia that if Russia
made separate peace with Germany,
Japanese troops would occupy ST.
IBERIA. which was prominently printed
in the Japanese press, was promptly
characterized as absurd by the Jap
anese foreign Office.
The Japanese press thinks that the
report was probably fabricated for the
purpose of suppressing the peace
movement brewing among the Rus
sian people.
The report declared that If Russia
relaxed her military efforts she would
be threatened with serious danger
from Japan and that according to q
treaty concluded with the entente
powers Japan would have the right
to occupy all Siberia as far as the
Ural mountains. This was denied by
British statesmen.

CURRENT MAGAZINES.
Some Saturday Night Thoughts
From Well Known Publications.

One of the striking figures of the
war is Louis Raemaekers, the Dutch
artist who suddenly attracted the at
tention of the civilized world to the
cartoonist's room OF The Amsterdam
TELEGRAPH.
Until the war broke, this Dutch ar
fist had not produced anything not
able, or anything containing unusual
promise. But the war permitted him
to find himself, and his cartoons whip
ped through even the leather skin of
the Prussian junkers. He was even
arrested, but released without pun
ishment. In the June Century. George
Creel has an article on this young
Hollander This Dutch artist is more
hated by the Hohenzollerns than any
other man in Europe" he writes. TN
Europe they speak of his pen as a
sword. 1t is not possible to judge him
as an artist. He is q voice, a sword,
a flame. His cartoons are the tears
of women, the battle shout of in
domitable defenders, the indignation
of humanity. the sob OF civilization"
Raemaekers has the cross of the
Legion of Honor from France for his
work of visualizing jurkerdom to
civilization.
Another attempt to analyze slang
is made by Robert +. utter In Har-
per's for June. Our Upstart Speech"
is what he calls it. He gives slang
its proper place by neither scorning
it nor unduly worshipping 1t as Lam
guage in the making.
MANY of slang's gayest blossoms
have faded because they have had no
real roots in our life and thought"
he says, and proceeds to show how
slang phrases and words that had
such roots, have become parts Of the
language.
Shakespeare wrote Good Night"
in its modern slang meaning, he points
out, and Chaucer used Come OF" and
go sit down."
