"REPRISALS."

"Reprisals" have begun, and a
shocked world may be forced to wit
ness how far the men directing the
German war machine have reverted to
savagery.
The annals of the North American
Indians contain no records of more
cold blooded, calculated brutality than
the history of this war. Submarine
attacks on hospital ships were pro-
claimed as a part of the German policy
in February. Long before that time
there had been sporadic cases of such
attacks but in America at least they
were set down as mistakes, accidents,
in February Germany announced in
direct violation of The Hague con-
vention that she would sink hospital
ships at sight. The excuse given was
that the allies had used hospital ships
for the transportation Of troops. The
British government promptly denied
this, and warned Germany that If hos
pital ships were sunk reprisals would
be made. The reprisals have taken
the form of raids by airplanes on Ger
man cities and the placing of wounded
German prisoners on the hospital
ships. Yesterday The Associated Press
carried a dispatch stating that in re-
turn for the loss of fifteen German off,
GERS on a hospital ship sunk by one
of their own submarines, three times
the number of French prisoners Of
equal rank would be placed on the fir
ing line where the artillery lombard
ment was the fiercest.
Apparently the last word in Ger
man "frightfulness'' has been spoken.
Germany has already placed herself
outside the pale by her systematic
brutality. The bitterness of the war
is becoming such that nobody can
foresee where such course will lead,
but those who have been able to retain
even a small measure of their sensibili-
ties, as horror has been piled on
horror. are aghast at the possibilities.

Washington, May 11.-"Everybody
in England is raising something to
relieve the food shortage" according
to David +. Nelson OF Mayville, N. D.,
one of the American students at Ok
ford, who has just returned to this
country.
Vegetable gardens are being start

every effort is being made to keep the
country supplied with foodstuffs," he
said today.
"The people of the United States
seem frightfully extravagant after
England. For instance, one gets a
fair portion Of bread over here for
breakfast. At luncheon, IL one asks
for more than one slice. all he gets is
a pleasant smile. There are the same
restrictions on other foods"
Mr.. Nelson served under Herbert
J Hoover in Belgian relief work in 1914
, and 1915 and has kept in touch with
the situation in Belgium since, and al
so served some months with the Amer

TURKEY READY TO DESERT.
The Trouble is That Germany Has Not
Delivered the Goods.

ITO sum up this question" says
Graham Hollister in the course of an
article in the New York Sun, II would
much prefer to be an Englishman in
Turkey at the present time than
would to be q German" This remark
he makes in the course of an article
designed to give the outside world an
idea of the conditions existing in Tur-
key, and in view of the news that the
Russian and British. forces have af-
fected a junction in Mesopotamia Mr..
HOLSTERS views are of particular in
terest, for he has been in Turkey I'M
til quite recently. In his opinion the
Turkish empire is seething with re-
volt against the German officers and
drill masters as well as against the
Young Turks, who have steered their
country into this war. Not more than
one Turk out of hundred knows
what he is fighting for, and not more
than one out of a thousand can give
adequate reasons for Turkey having
Joined in the melee as an ally of Ger
many. Nevertheless, what President
Wilson has called "a little group Of
wilful men," headed by Enver Pasha,
has controlled Turkey in the crisis.
and that her soldiers have fought well
HOLSTER has the idea that there may
be change ofsfront in Turkey at any
moment.
He does not suggest that the move
ment will come from the people, but
seems to be of the opinion that it may
originate with the Young Turks. II
Enver Pasha and his associates come
10 the conclusion that Germany will
lose this war, which in Turkey is con-
sidered to be a war between England
and Germany, there is reason to be-
lieve that they will quit Germany and
try C. make terms with the entente.

fact that thirty-three Fargoans and
seventy-fve North Dakotans were in
cluded among the first 1900 admitted

NEWSPAPERS AND THE WAR.

Squeezed between the print paper
situation and the proposed increase in
mailing rates under the new war tax
bill, many newspaper publishers are
facing the alternative of suspending
publication or going into bankruptcy,
while all Of them are suffering such a
reduction of revenue that their profits
have virtually disappeared. That is
frank and unexaggerated statement of
an easily demonstrated fact
The average reader of newspaper
knows in a vague way that print paper
has had a tremendous increase in
price, but few of them realize how ex-
treme that advance has been. Manu-
facturers refuse to make contracts as
they did formerly. and as the old con-
tracts expire the publishers are fore
ed to pay prices from 100 per cent to
300 per cent higher than the old figures.
To The Forum, for example, the in
crease means a difference of fully $2O,-
900 in the annual budget. Under the
proposed increase in the postal rates.
the actual cost of mailing the paper
will increase at about the same ratio.
Starting with such a handicap, the
advertising revenue Of a newspaper
would never suffice to cover all the
other expenses and show a profit.
If newspapers were ever a necessary
part of American life, they are in war
time. This is a peoples war. The
newspapers are the one medium OF
communication between the govern
ment and the people. They render a
public service the value Of which can
not be estimated. A newspaper read
er need only visualize conditions if all
newspapers suspended publication, to
realize the extent OF this service. How
much actual news of the war would
reach him? How much would he
know Of relief work? OF CONSUMPTION
conditions? OF Red Cross activities?
or the Liberty loan? OF the thousand
and one needs of the government? The
newspapers of the country have given
their news and editorial columns with
out stint to the countrys cause. They
do not claim or desire any particular
credit for that, but they do put it for
ward as a reason for their right to
exist.
Under conditions that threaten,
there are but two alternatives; suspend
publication entirely. or cut the size'l
of the newspaper to half or one-third
what it now is and raise subscription
rates.

AUSTRIAN CHILDREN
GAIN IN HOLLAND
Average Weight Increase for 500
Vienna Children Was Nine and q
Half Pounds.
(Bv Associated Press.l

Rotterdam, Netherlands, May IL
Five hundred Vienna children on the
average, have gained nine and half
pounds in weight during few weeks
from 1S to "a pounds, according to
medical testimony.
Despite the recent hint by Prime
Minister Cort van der Linden regard
ing the undesirability Of bringing more
foreign children to this country when
Hollanders themselves are being asked
to observe the strictest economy on
account of the scarcity Of grain, Ger
man youngsters continue to arrive in
large numbers, nearly 1900 having
crossed the frontier to recoup in the
course Of one week.

than two years. Doubtless the govern
ments of France and England have
their fingers on the Russian pulse, but
the information for general consump-
ton that has come out of Russia has
been most meagre. The difficulty of
getting such information past the CEN
sorship is intensified by the inability
of an outside writer to fathom the
Russian mind or grasp the problems
of the newest republic.
The Importance of Russia to the al
lies at this stage cannot be Overesti-
mated Her elimination would mean
the end of any hope of starving Ger
many out, or even Gripping her
through a scarcity Of raw products.
Rumania would follow Russia, and
Germany would have a vast storehouse
at her back door. The iron ring would
be broken beyond all hope Of repair,
and the bloody alternative left to
France, England and America would
be to batter their way through the re-
inforced German lines in the west
activity may have been the factor that
saved the German lines during the last
week. The British and French have
been meeting great masses of new
troops undoubtedly drawn from the
eastern front Without these troops,
would Hindenburg have been able to
save his army from a disastrous de-
feat and perhaps veritakle rout?'
But two facts stand out clearly in
the little that is known of the Rus
sian situation. One is that the pro-
visional government has safely passed
all crises yet encountered and is grow
ing stronger with every day that
passes. The other is that the provis-
ional government is less likely to make
separate peace than the old leaders.
The question of separate peace is
apparently not even an issue between
the provisional government and the
revolutionary democracy. Their issue
is one solely Of the aims of the war.
Will it be a war of annexation or not?
The Russian people have no love for
the Germans. German influence has
ever been on the side OF the autocracy.
The Russian soldiers seek only to clear
their soil of the invader. assure a per-
manent peace and return to their
homes to enjoy their new land allot-
ments. 1t was expected that the pro-
visional government would take a
stand in sympathy with such views.
When it was discovered that the gov
eminent wasP leaning toward the old
imperialistic policy, the recent crisis
was precipitated. Whether the purpose
of the provisional government was
misunderstood or whether it recon-
sidered it's policy, is not known, but
it succeeded in satisfying the council
of soldiers and workmen that its aims
in the war were identical with theirs.
And the aims of the soldiers and
workmen are not different from those
Of democracy throughout the world.
Permanent peace without annexation"
and the chance to go home is also what
every American hopes for, but per-
manent peace is out of the question
until Germany is brought to her knees.
If the Russian government and the
Russian people feel that and with
Germany for a neighbor they cannot
do otherwise-there is little cause for
fear that Russia will be eliminated
from the war either by conquest or a
separate peace.
